viii Revise the Tariff.

Speaker Clark made the following
statement with reference to tariff re-
vision at the present special session
of congress, which apparently refers
to President Taft's intimation in his
speech that he was opposed to all
legislation bearing On the tariff at this
session with the exception of Cana
dian reciprocity:
The tariff ought to be revised from
top to bottom. The people of the land
so decided last November. That is.
their latest mandate. The house de-
cided that 1t is best to revise it
schedule by schedule. We have made
a good start on that plan. We will
continue as we have begun. The,
country indorses what the house is
doing. If the Republican senate
beats our bills or President Taft We
toes them we will appeal to the coun-
try and 1t will sustain us. We bellows
we are right and we are not afraid Of
a contest" f

S20,00O,000 FOR ROADS
SENATOR SWANSON URGES FUND
FOR HIGHWAYS.
Tells Upper House of Wretched Con-
dition of Nations Average
Thoroughfare.

Washington, D. C.-The annual ap-
preparation of $4,000, 900 for five years
to improve the post roads and rural
delivery routes of the government was
urged in the senate by Mr.. Swanson
of Virginia.
Contending that despite the amaz-
ing achievements in many directions
scored by this country, it is notorious
that the United States has the poor
est public roads and highways of any
civilized nation. He said he regarded
the subject as the paramount one be-
fore the American people.
Mr.. Swanson explained that his plan
would open up more than 1000, 900
miles of roads to government aid, that
the states or local authorities would
furnish an amount equal to that ap-
p%ropriated by the federal government
and that the total would be divided
among the states according to popula-
ton.
He said the limitation to postal
a n rules eliminated any con-
stitutional objections. The bill would
create a road department, consisting
of engineers and capable officials to
carry out the project. The measure,
he explained, was modelled somewhat
after the Virginia law.
"The federal government" said Sen
-
extending to the state and local au-
thorities generous aid for road i'm
provement, When the federal govern
ment commences to bear it's fair share
of the burden of the improving public
raods, that day will mark the begin
ming of the end Of bad roads in this
nation.'

NOW TO THE SENATE
IN ITS HANDS IS FATE OF THE
WOOL SCHEDULE.
Democrats Have Done Their Part In
Fulfilling country's Wishes and
Now Republican Senatorial
Majority Must Act.


By a vote of 221 to 100 the house of
representatives passed the bill re.
vising the wool schedule. Every Dem
ocratic member but one-Francis of
Ohio-voted for 1t, as did "a Republi-
n OF these latter at least two
were standpatters. No such majority
as this was looked for. 1t was doubted
whether the bill could command a
united Democratic support. Yet o1ly
n man on the Democratic side voted
in the negative. So we have another
proof of the effectiveness and intelli-
gence of the new Democratic leader
ship.
More than that, the bill was felt to
be so fair-though 1t was severely
criticized by some who voted for it.
that it commanded "a Republican
votes. And in the affirmative vote
the standpatters themselves were rep
resented. The action of the house
will greatly strengthen the wool bill
in the senate. : 1t is believed that
there is a chance for its passage.
Every effort will be made to prevent
the finance committee from smother
ing it, and to bring it to a vote within
a reasonable time.
AS to the bill itself 1t is not neces-
sary to say much. 1t imposes an nd
valorem duty of 20 per cent. on raw
wool in place of the present duty OF
about A per cent. The duty on manu-
featured products is more than cut in
two, the reduction being from an aver
age of 80 per cent. to an average of
about AZ per cent. Ad valorem duties
have been generally substituted for
specific duties, and the lowest taxes
are imposed on the cheapest goods.
instead of, as now, on the most costly.
The new schedule is, therefore, a
great Improvement over that now in
force.
1t ought to make a strong appeal to-
the senate insurgents, and to the
president. The insurgents bitterly op-
posed the wool schedule of the Payne
Aldrich law, and the president has
denounced it as "~indefensible." Here,
is a chance to get something better.
1t may not be all that is desired, but
nevertheless it is a great improve
ment IN the present schedule. It.
ought not to be difficult for the Repub-
licans who really favor lower duties
to vote for it. Twenty-four of them
did vote for it. So the CASE is sub
mitted to the senate. 1t is to be
hoped that that body will act prompt
ly and favorably on the bill to the end
that some of the burdens now resting
on the people may be lightened.-In-

CROP SCARE ENDED
BY GENERAL RAINS
COOLER WEATHER EXPECTED TO
REPAIR MUCH OF THE
HEAT DAMAGE.
OATS WORSE SUFFERER
Corn Badly Injured in Spots, But
Wheat Practically Unframed
T%hreshing Reports Prove Good
Yield in Illinois.

Chicago.-Grain producers heaved
a sigh of relief when the record
breaking heat wave was broken
and cooler weather, with rains in
some districts, prevailed. There is
no doubt that the intense heat did
much damage to the corn crop, but
the cooler weather is expected to re-
pair some of the damage and comes
as a life saver in sections where the
crop had not been badly affected by
the torrid wave
The wheat crop has not been Sc
riously damaged by the heat. The
winter wheat crop is 0 practically
harvested and reports from North Da-
kota, the banner spring wheat state
of the country, say that while many
complaints of damage by hot winds
and dry weather have been received,
good reports greatly outnumber the
had ones, and prospects are still good
for a record crop.
The hot weather has, however,
played havoc with the oat crop in all
the surplus-producing states, and,
with the shortage in the hay crop,
the farmer who is lucky enough to
thresh out a bin full of oats is likely
to command a high price for his prod
uct later on.
Missouri and Kansas reported the
worst damage to the corn crop. In
the former state the grain is in the
tassel and a few more days Of in
tense heat would have meant nubbins
to no corr at all for the Missouri
farmer.
The southwest was plainly scared
over its corn crop outlook while the
torrid wave lasted. Temperatures
ranged well above the 100 mark over
the corn belt for five days, some
points getting as high as 115. Had
the moisture supply been adequate
these sensational temperatures would
not have been taken so seriously, as
corn can stand much heat under
these conditions. Grain traders were
talking about the deficient reserves
Of moisture in the subsoil long be-
fore the era Of high temperatures
started. Even the most conservative
were inclined to believe in the posi-
bility of sensational losses.
In Illinois, Iowa and Indiana the
corn crop has been doing splendidly.
There was, however, an absence Of
hot winds. High winds under such
temperatures as have recently pre-
vailed would have had a blasting ef-
feet on the growing corn in exposed
localities or at critical stages of the
growth.
Reports from points in Indiana and
Illinois say the corn is fully ten days
ahead of last year and never was
in such healthy condition. The re-
ports further stated that the plant
could have stood the w punish
ment by the heat for a week or two
without serious damage. Some Of
the reports from Illinois held olt
some hope for the oats crop also. One
message said the change in the wealth
err would better the oats crop 20 per
cent. Threshing reports from some
sections are turning out better than
expected.

RURAL CARRIERS
TO GET INCREASE
FORTY THOUSAND EMPLOYEES TO
BE RAISED $500 A YEAR
BY GOVERNMENT.
BUT MORE WORK is ADDED
Parcel-Pcst System, if Adopted, May
Make the Service self-support-
l~ng-Present Loss is $25,oco,-
600 Per Annum.

Washington.-The 10000 rural free
delivery carriers in the United States
are to receive salary increases as a re-
surt Of a decision reached by Post
master General Hitchcock.
The order will provide for the dis
bursement during the current fiscal
year of 81, 600, 900, which will mean
an increase of 500 over the present
salary of 5000 for al carriers on
standard routes.
Congress provided last session for
the expenditure of this extra $4,000
600, but left it to the discretion of
the postmaster general as to how
much Of it should be expended. Mr..
Hitchcock decided to authorize the ex-
penditure of the full amount.
His desire to compensate the car
riers for any additional burden which
may be placed on them if the parcel
post system he has recommended. for
rural routes is approved by congress,
was the important consideration, Mr..
Hitchcock declared, which led him to
make the authorization.
In the current year the rural service
will cost the government about $40,-
100000, the estimated loss being about
$25, 000, 900. The postmaster general
expressed the belief that the parcel
post system, under proper manage
ment, would insure the maintenance
and extension of the rural free deliv-
cry service as a self-supporting branch
of the postal service.
The rural delivery system was start
cd Is years ago with SO carriers, who
were paid only 5000 a year. On July
/, there were 41,562 carriers, their
aggregate salaries being $35, 793, 900.

MISSOURI NEWS
N~sAR.FAMINE IN SIGHT.
Missouri Corn Expert Predicts Light
Crops and Possible Distress.

Columbia.-Samuel Jordan, the corr
expert of the Missouri agricultural
college, has issued the following
timely advice to farmers who are
likely to be affected seriously by the
drought:
The old-timers will remember the
year 1873 when the grasshopper
plague existed in Missouri and adj
Joining states. The devastation
wrought by the grasshopper among
crops of all kinds was almost COM
plete. The little pest even consumed
potato vines and all other growing
vegetation, leaving nothing untouched
except the apple crop.
There was some old corn in the
country, and the menu, morning. noon
and night, consisted of corn dodger
and apple butter; some did not even
have the apple butter. Flour was
SIS per 100 pounds and most folks did
not have the price. Certainly many
an Industrious farmer felt genuine
hunger many times.
1T now looks like somebody will
experience the same sensation within
the next 10 or IL months. If we have
reasonable weather during the next
80 days, iauch feed for live stock eau
he grown, but not inch for the FAM
ilv. Tu-nips and possibly some sweet
corn con stitute all that may be pr,r
dlced for family consumption.
Sweet corn may be planted up to
July 10 .: 15, and with reasonable
weather will make some food that
will help out, as it is easily canned ,r
dried. So VIC should not neglect dis.
If you have more than you may need
for your own S there will be an
eager market for 1t.
"Turnips cannot take the place of
dear old spuds,' but almost a total
potato failure is now inevitable. So
do not neglect to SOW trnips. They
may make a paying crop and help to
keep somebody from going hungry.
"We regret to throw out this scare,
but 1t can do no harm. We hope
we will not have to live entirely on
sweet corn and turnips, but many a
deserving man has done worse, and we
should do everything in or upower to
alleviate what may develop into a
distressing condition.
Letters are constantly coming to
us from other states asking where
men whose crops have burned p may
find work to support them and their
families throughout the coming fall
and winter. Let S do all We can to
take care of them"

Money Cant Buy Potatoes.

J~oplin,-For the FIRST time in the
history of the city Joplin is without
potatoes. Even the unheard Of price
of $2.0S a bushel retail that has pre-
vailed, can not buy 'spuds" in Jop-
lin. Wholesalers and retailers have
exhausted their supply and the local
production has been ruined by the
drought. Potatoes from Virginia are
en- route to the city, and are expected
here very soon. Local wholesalers,
instead of supplying the local retail
stores, ship their potatoes to Kansas
City and are realizing 5000 to $1,000
more per car than if they sold in
Joplin.
