San Francisco has beaten New
Orleans on the vote in congress to
decide the location for the proposed
exposition to celebrate the completion
of the Panama Canal. One main
reason assigned for the decision in
favor of the Pacific coast city is that
it asked no government aid, San
Francisco and the state of California
agreeing to issue bonds for fifteen
million dollars to take care Of the ex-
pense, while New Orleans wanted the
government to contribute a million
dollars. TIE people in this section
were very little concerned over the
outcome New Orleans would be
much more accessible than San Fran
cisco for any Wisconsin p3ople who
might wish to attend, but California
and the Pacific coast nave many ad-
vantagas to offer winter tourists that
would probably more than offset the
difference in distance. And for a
naval display there is really no com
parison between the harbors of the
two contesting cities.

Wisconsin railroads Will pay tax
the present year 1925, 600 more than
they paid last year. With all the
new tax reform regulations, the in
creased corporation taxes, the tax on
inheritances, ETC., regular taxation
seems to grow higher just the same.
We have for years beer promised that
taxes would be lower because of these
so called reforms but the fulfllment
of the promises never seem to be
realized. New commissions and in.
creased expenses seem to more than
keep pace with the increased revenues.

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

An element Of the republican party
which has been clamoring against the
provisions Of the Payne tariff bill ever
since its passage, and demanding a
further reduction or abolition of tariff
duties in the alleged interest of lower
cost Of living. is now all at sea as to
what course to pursue relative to the
adoption of the reciprocity pact be-
tween the United States and Canada,
recently agreed to by President Taft
and representatives Of the Canadian
government It has been very APP.
parent from the start that much of
this agitation and apparent desire for
reduction of duties was simply for
effect and to win votes, popular senti
ment seeming to be in favor of lower
duties.
A protective tariff is one of the
fundamental policies of the republi-
can party and under that policy our
nation has always been most prosper
Gus To depart from it means to
up the policy which the democratic
party has always advocated tariff for
revenue only with tendency toward
free trade. Republicans may we'll
afford to ''make haste slowly" in
making such change Of front
1t is not so many years that we
ought to have forgotten it, when the
greatest desire among the people of the
United States was to get away from
low prices, and it will be SO again.
as it always has been throughout our
history, if we assault and destroy the
protection system.
However, the wide spread demand
for lower duties and lower cost of
living has been taken in good faith
by the president in Offering this
reciprocal lowering Of duties between
our Canadian neighbor and ourselves,
by which we can send our products
across the border at a lower rate of
duty than at present and admit their
products at a correspondingly lower
1ate.
This was one of President Nc.
Kinley's pet policies which President
Roosevelt failed to carry out when he
succeeded to the presidential chair
The senators and congressman who
have been loudest in denunciation of
the Payne tariff bill and demanding
reduction of duties now stard aghast
when it is put squarely up to them
where they will have to make good
their talk by supporting this pact,
and they don't know whether to swal-
low their modification and vote to
help the president bring about lower
prices or to prove their insincerlty by
another change of front. The presi
dent has put them in a most embar-
rassing hole. AS the French say it
lis to laugh :"

YOUNG MAN KILLED IN FIELD.
Wayne County Farmer Boy Found
Unconscious in Field by His
Father.

The following account of dis
tressing accident which resulted in
the death of Ray Schwilck, on the
farm of his father, about eight miles
east of High Point, is taken from the
Corydon Times-Republican:
The community was shocked when
it was learned late Monday evening
that Mr. Ray Schwilck, son of Mr..
to his death unexpectedly while at
work on the farm five and one-half
miles west Of Corydon.
The exact cause of his death is I'M
known. He was found about 7 p. m.
in an unconscious condition in the
field. He had been at work driving
team which was supposedly quite
gentle and at dusk unhitched, mount
ed one of the horses and started for
the barn. His father decided to pillow
one more round On his way to the
barn Mr. Schwilck found his son ly-
ing unconscious and before aid could
reach him he was gone.
1t is supposed that the young man
il II from the horse and WIS in some
manner caught in the harness and
dragged to death. Ore eye was
swollen shut, three ibis broken and
his back and legs were -.'w from the
dragging.
Ray Schwilck was seventeen years
old. He was at all times a gentle
manly young man. In 1910 he grad
uated with honors from the Corydon
High school and has since been as
sisting his father on the farm. Dur
ing his career in the local high school
he made deep impression upon the
minds of his friends and schoolmates
by his studious habits and dignifed
and upright carriage. This commun-
ity has certainly lost young man of
great promise.
Funeral services were held yester-
day at the home.

Carlos has the misfortune to shoot
his right arm off close to the Shout
der, and he now has the sympathy of
the entire community His mother be-
ing poor, subscription was taken
