IF THE people are wise they will
make every legislative candidate give
them his solemn promise to repeal the
income tax law, repeal the law that
creates the tax commission, repeal the
game warden statute, amend the pri-
mary election law so as to provide for
nominations by conventions reserving
to the people the right to vote for any
candidate they please, whether his
name is on the ballot or not, cut down
operating expenses of the government
at least One-third, and do away with
every useless officer of which there are
far too many. AS fast as legislative
candidates declare themselves, COM
mittee of reputable citizens ought to
wait on them and get their solemn
pledge to do these things. Those who
fail to pledge themselves should be adj
vertised extensively so that if the peO-
pie vote for them, they will not do so
ignorantly. The time has gone by for
the farmer and business man to expect
relief from unjust laws unless they eX-
ercise their right to chastise candidates
for public office. When the candidate
comes out boldly and says where he
stands on the questions submitted to
him he will then be entitled to the sup
port of his constituents, but until he
does, no party name or badge, however
popular, should induce honest electors
to give him their votes. The time is
now here for plain words, fair dealing
and honest campaigning. The public
believes that the politicians have been
giving it a stone when it asked for
bread. 1t is not in good humor; it is
sour, morose and ill-tempered because
it has been bumped so often. The pol
iticians must be honest, sincere and
square, or else theyswill be unceremoni-
ously kicked out. The day of specious
promises has been passed. The good
citizen now demands reform, not the
new style with its official frills, but the
good old reform the daddies compelled
their erring progeny to practice wher
drouth took the crops. Legislative
candidates will not be allowed to make
and interpret their own platforms un.
less they embody in them generous
quantity of real reform. = Stoughtor

lation, but because of the crops pro-
duced in the rich valleys of Montana.

cents as the average The crop amount
ed to about IS, 900 cases and over 20, 600
cases are still in our packers hands.
Mr.. Michaelis made the heaviest recent
sales, disposing of 800 cases. Some of
the packers have resweated the best of
their goods, and it makes good filler.
Probably less than 20 per cent of the
1911 crop remains unsold, and the goods
left in the growers hands are being
taken up so rapidly by our packers and
some outside dealers, too, that what is
left will not last long. Some sections
have been so we'll cleaned up already
that it takes lot of riding for the
buyers to locate the crops left, which
are usually held by growers who asked
rather more than the market price.
What aggravates the situation is the
fact that the packers have had TO take
the tobacco just as the growers choose
to deliver it, poorly stripped. There are
conscientious growers, to be sure, who
stripped clean, but when the great
bulk of them refused to strip as the
buyers demanded, it was simply case
Of take what was offered or get no to-
bacco. So the growers had their own
way. A great part of the crop has not
only been stripped, but delivered, the
growers taking it to the warehouse as
fast as wagon load was stripped.
This style of delivery, however, was
entirely satisfactory to the packers, as
it avoided a rush and enabled them to
get their packing away at once in good
shape. =
Less activity prevailed among the
1910 goods the past week than at any
time within the past month. The sell
ing prices run at about seventeen and
half cents actual weight.

that there is danger of overriding the
matter. Two things are certain. One
is that the 1912 acreage will be by long
odds the largest ever planted in New
England, and the other that before the
first seed bed is sown this spring the
amount of tobacco in growers hands
will be the smallest in twenty years.
Whether the 1912 crop comes upon a
receptive market depends largely upon
the success packers have in convincing
manufacturers that the stiff prices they
will be asked to pay for New England
tobacco in the next twelve months are
justified.

Pennsylvania.

LANCASTER, PA, March 5, 1912.
The local holders of 1909 tobacco have
been cheered recently by the numerous
inquiries about this packing, to say
nothing of the late numerous sales of
considerable quantities to outside pack
ers. Even with an early disposal of
this tobacco, it will have proved an I'M
profitable investment, particularly to
the original buyers, as the average
price was ten and three-quarter cents.
AS tobacco stands the packer about
IA cents pound, taking into account
the investment, insurance, warehouse
charges and shrinkage, even when car
ried only a year, some idea may be had
of the losses most of the packers will
have to bear with goods carried since
1909, when the present selling price
runs only from fourteen to fifteen and
a half cents, with fourteen and half

THE break his finally come between
La Toilette and Congressman Lenroot,
as it has to hundreds of his former sup
porters. All sorts Of conjectures are,
however, rife, and all see the detection
of Lenroot as an acknowledgement of
the futility of trying to elect La Fol
lette delegates in Wisconsin, bound to
him hand and foot and ready to die in
the last ditch, with no second choice.
Some of the La Toilette men would, no
doubt, be willing to do this if they
could see any good FOR their chief in
it. This they cannot see. 1t is now
seen that the canvass for delegates
will be handicapped. Many La Toilette
men will not vote for delegates who
will vote for Roosevelt. Many, it is
believed, will prefer Taft. They feel,
as Houser says, that Roosevelt approx
ed La Follette's candidacy and then be-
trayed him.

Hammond Candidate for Re
election to Congress.

Congressman Hammond has put to
rest any speculations that were rife as
to whether he could be drawn into the
gubernatorial race. In q recent inter-
view be expressed his wish to be re-
turned to Congress If that meets with
the approval of his constituents. Ham
mond has made an exceptionally good
record for himself and his district since
his first election to Congress and the
people trust him or he would have
failed of reelection, because his district
is overwhelmingly Republican. His
usefulness will be augmented because
the House ia now Democratic aud if we
read the signs Of the times right, the
next election will give US Democratic
President and possibly q Democratic
Senate and then he will be able to
accomplish more than he has in the
past. His forensic abilities will make
him leader in the House which cannot
but reflect credit on his district and be
should be returned to Congress by Or
increased majority.
