podder in Chilean Red Clover see<

Dodder in Chilean Red Glover Seed.
A circular just issued by the United
States department Of agriculture
says:
"Since July /, 1910, twenty three
lots of clover seed Of probable Gillian
origin aggregating 10000 pounds.
have been imported into the United
States. In all Of these shipments two
kinds Of dodder seed, characteristic OF
Chilean red clover seed, are present.
At a normal rate OF seeding. these
shipments are sufficient to seed ap-
proximately $4,000 acres. and at this
rate of seeding an average OF ap-
proximate!y $50 dodder seeds would be
sown on each square rod. The sowing
of this Chilean seed this spring means
that the clover crop on g. considerable
proportion Of the area on which it ts
seeded will be destroyed by dodder and
farmers should be ON their guard
against purchasing this seed. Unfortu-
nately. most Of these importations
have gone into the southern part of the
cloyer-producing region, where this
dodder will undoubtedly prove disas-
trous. This Chilean clover seed Is
itself especially flne-looking seed. be-
ing dark colored and approximately so
per cent larger in size than ordinary
red clover seed produced in the United
4tateA Il will, therefore doubtless re-
cefve q ready sale on account Of it,

ONE OF CARROLL'S APPO1NTEES.
Nevada Representative
Miss Hattie Garrison. who has for
past two or three years been the SUI
peri.ltendent of the girls Industrial
school at Mitchellville. resigned the
first OF the month, and her place has
been taken by a woman from Wiscon-
sin. Without knowing 50 very much
about Miss Garrison or anything at all
about her successor the change will
be received with presumptive approval.
The troubles at Mitchellvile have
dated from Miss Garrison's accession
10 the superintendency and while MOTH
ing has developed to reflect at all upon
her personal worth. there has been a
great deal developed to suggest that
she is not personally adapted to the
work of the position she has been try
ing to fill. Perhaps there was a mess at
Mitchellville before she went there:
but If there was one, she was not of
the sort to get things there on a basis
that would be both business-1ike and
humane. and politics has been appar-
ent about the institution ever since she
went there. The results have been fav-
orabie to no one concerned. and prob
ably least OF all to the girls in the
school, who-whatever their anteced-
ents and the occasion OF their being
there-are entitled from the very fact
Of their being there to have the bene-
fits OF a management that is both
wel-intentioned and wise.

motives may b. just a. bad az those Of
the man who steals dollar because Of
need. This tax question is a matter Of
morals, but morality clash in this day
and age Of the world.
Surely wealth should bear its just
proportion of the burden Of sustaining
the government. The more wealth a
man possesses the more taxes he
should pay There is good reason for
the affirmation that as mans pos
sessions increase in volume his tax
rate should be likewise increased in
proportion. There is a theory that be-
couse men are equal before the law
that they should bear equally the bur
dens of sustaining the law. But there
is another theory that men should
bear burdens according to their
strength. The accumulation of prop
erty is an indication of strength.
The city of Boston would not have
been benefited if it had driven this

GET Rid OF lQRIMER.

n. h Kohlsaat gave up yesterday the
source Of his information as to the
tS1o0. 900 fund which ''put Loriner over"
b4n the senatorial contest with another
Imember Of the character which marks
hts deSeneracy. It appears the Inter
national Harvester Company was pan
handed and refused to stand for the
kouch. The pan1andling was by Mr..
tEIines. Mr. Hines so the general man
lager Of tho International. Clarence
Vunk. says attempted to get $4,000
iout Of the company for the Lorimer
corruption fund. Loriuer could be
kput over with 100000. Later Mr..
Mines returned to the assault. He said
tfs,ey had put Lorimer over and had
had 10 spend the money. Ten big bus
Illnesses were to be panhandled to get II
hack. Tho international was one OF
these and it could send the money to
nodward Tnden. of the stockyards.
Who dug up the 100000 and to
twhom was it to be repaid? Not Ed
Hines or any other Of the gang who
iWorked the wires in the deals which
sxoqutred the coin to put over" Who
s<hen7 Who had the money and was
most interested is a fair question.
Illinois stands before the country dis
8raced II not ashamed. And every
Stako whose senators voted to keep

remains in Illinois enough Of the sense

patriotism to demand Lorimer's resig-
1Ation and force the demand to con-
summation. Get rid OF him

In the Fight Direction.
Npu- Yorl. T~ib,,oa

Ample credit should be given to the
democratic majority in the house Of
representatives for cutting down an
overgrown salary list and aholisiling
six useless committees. The saving Of
$4,000 a year in salaries may not
seem in itself imposing. but it really is
Of importance when the pressure for
even the smallest bit Of patronage to
which the incoming majority has been
subjected is duly considered. Demo-
cratic newspapers have reported that
there were at least 10000 candidates
for the 500 places on the majority's
civil list" The abolition of ninety
eignt posts with salaries aegregating
$4,000 was therefore ar exhibition of
Spartan self-denial which ought not to
go unappceciated.

The Piece System.

"The men in shops under scientific
MANAGEMENT are well satisfied. A SYM
pathetic strike was called to aid the
trolley car motormen and conductors in
Philadelphia in 1910. A certain factory
running under scientific management"
says James Mapes Dodge OF the Link
Belt Company in The Survey. was
surrounded by four other establish
ments Three OF the four lost about
one half Of their men thru the sympa-
thetic strike and in the fourth all went
out. In the shop running under scien-
tifc management Just one man quit
work
Now this was no accident. but is
because the very best friends that the
workmen have under scientific man
agement are their employers. Formerly
we would tell man we would give
him 10 cents for q certain piece Of work.
Then IL he reduced his time so that he
could make two, we would reduce the
rate to cents. But we were getting
twice as much work from the same
floor space and fixed expenses for the
same money while the men had not
been getting any more pay.
I'VE adopted new rule which was
that a rate once set must not be re-
duced unless the shape OF the piece or
the tool or method by which 1t is made
was changed and that q man should
be paid when he did his work. It was
a hard dose to swallow. for sometim es
men made twice or three times the
wage they would have worked for
gladly by the day. Once in while

with the assessor, so that there will be
an increase In revenue to the taxing
district instead of q decrease.
The new tax on moneys and cred
its is a relief which has long been
by investors and business in
terests for the reason that so much
Of the capital driven from the state
in the past will be called back in. II
a s per cent mortgage was listed for
taxation the actual revenue from the
investment could only amount to
per cent. For an ordinary loan this
is a mighty slim reward considering
the general earning power OF money
today. But the tax of one-half per
cent need hardly be feared an bar to
local investment. Money lenders would
rather earn IS less on a $1,000 loan II
the security is where they can watch 1t
and determine its sufficiency.
It will naturally follow that money
may be more easily secured in the fu-
ture, thus affording a new impulse TO
industry and investment. AZ to the ef-
