LAWRENCE VS.. FOREIGN WAGES

Here is a comparison of full time
wages paid in England, and at Law
renee, Mass, U. S. A., which fails to
substantiate the high protectionist
theory that it is necessary to place
a high tariff on wooden clothing in
order to protect American workers
from what American trust magnates
delight to describe as foreign pau
per labor" The figures show that
the So-calIed foreign pauper labor"
receives as much as the all-but-pau-
per labor at Lawrence, while the
cost of living is much higher here
than in England.
In England Spinners receive from
$3.50 to $12 per week; in Lawrence
they are paid from $50 to $40 per
week.
English weaVers receive $275 Der
week for attending looms; in Law.
renee the rate is SO cents per loom.
The English weaver makes as much
attending two looms as the American
makes for taking care of seven.
In the English mills the average
Pay OF women workers of all classes
Is 50 per week; the average in Law
renee for the same class Of work Is
$50.
The English mill worker who winds
the spun wool receives 50 per week;
his brother twiner at Lawrence ne.
ceiveS a dollar a week less.
The wooden trust wants protection
for the sole reason that Though uro
lection it is able to gouge the con,
sumner, while at the same time nav.
ing the lowest possible wages to its
employees.

BREAKING AWAY FROM TRADI
TON.

The greatest Importance of the
Democratic program providing for the
substitute OF a tax on incomes above
$1,000 for the tax on sugar, is that
it breaks away from the tradition
tnst the governments expenses must
be paid wholly with funds derived
from a tax on the things the people
eat, wear or use, to be collected
through custom houses and Internal
revenue offices. This tradition Is ne
Sponsible for wealth not bearing its
Just proportion of the burden of fed
eral taxation in this country. 1t is
the same tradition which has been
responsible for so many tariff out.
RACES through so many years. Re
gardBess of whether the bill is vetoed
by President Taft, there is little CUES
ton that the Democrats have opened
the way for its enactment when some
other man is President of the United
States.

Ames, March 22.-Just how serious
the seed corn situation is in Iowa was

OF thousand ears. coming from ten
different farms, where they had been
selected and set aside for seed, because
they seemed outwardly to be the best.
only 311 ears contained no dead kernels
and were therefore fit for planting.
In one lot Of 100 ears not single
ear fit for seed was found. In two
other lots of 100 each. only seventeen
good ears were found in each. In a
fourth lot of 100 ears. only twenty were
fit for seed. The best lot Of 100 ears
yielded only So good ears for planting;
the average only little over 100. These
tested ears were not common ears;
they were brought in for testing by
careful farmers who Sc

fall and took reasonable care of it

on ten representative farms.
The cost of planting corn like that
without testing can be estimated. Prof.
NJ. L. Mosher, of the extension depart
ment of the college and an expert In
corn, says that to plant such seed as
tested at Mason City would mean a
of probably twenty bushels
per acre in the yield. That is just
an approximation, Of course said Mr.
Nosher. In an everage year, covering
all sections Of Iowa, we find that about
all the seed corn used has u per cent of
dead Kernels That average is based
IN the test Of $500 samples taken thru
a series of years in various sections
from planter boxes. In an average
year this 10 per cent seed corn. grown
under good conditions, has produced
fftv-seven bushels per acre. Taking
those averages as basis, this Mason
