the living of expense, but while mon- ey draws interest at 4 per cent. per annum and above, 1t cannot be man aged.
 In the very, matter of the Congress street bridge, since it has been refer red to, the taxpayers, under the bondinng scheme, will have paid the ENTIRE cost of the structure with in IT YEARS, and in the years suc- ceeding must pay the entire cost once more.
 The wise merchant who has the cash discounts his bills. If he has Q surplus, he puts it at interest He does not borrow unless he must. Is it better to be creditor than a debt or, better to receive interest than to pay it, better to live within income than to exceed it, better to live in a free home than in mortgaged one ?
 Then it is better for city to pay as it goes as long as it can. and when it cannot to get rid of its debt as soon as it can, in order to get the greatest possible quantity of real things that may be used and enjoyed and to pay the least possible amount in interest, which returns nothing.

the corporation tax decision, espec- tally in view of the searching analysis to which leading statesmen have re- gently subjected the powers of the court with respect to voiding legisla- ton for unconstitutionality.
 As to the unfairness of the tax as to section, MT. Hill means that New York and New England, being very wealthy would pay more of the tax than some of the far western states, which is true enough, But the object of the income tax is to reach wealth and make it pay it's share to the support of the Federal govern ment It is of no consequence whether that wealth is nNew Eng land or in some other section ot the country.
 At present the tax is paid by the people of New England according 70 their necessities, and New England pays much more than it's share, to put it that way, because New Eng land is populous.
 MT. Hills two arguments really simmer down to the idea that he wants poverty to pay as much as pos sible for the support of government and wealth as little as he can con- trive.

MIR. HILL AND ThE lNI IOME Tax

Mir Hill of the Fourth District has announced his opposition to the in. come tax bill offered by the Demo- crats, which he says is unconstitution. al and unfair to certain sections of the country
 These reasons for opposing tag that does not rest upon men accord. ing to the number of their family are not new on MT. Hills lips.
 He uttered them several years ago in opposing the income tax amend ment to the constitution.
 AS to the unconstitutionality Of the tax, the bill is drawn to meet the con- clusions of the Supreme court advanc- ed when it sustained the corporation tax. when the Supreme Court for merly declared the income tax law unconstitutional by the majority of its members. one of whom changed his mind overnight to create the major fty, it reversed it's historic position upon that question. The personnel of the court has since almost entirely changed. There is no reason what ever to assume that the court will nor again reverse itself even if it should appear that the bill does not meet entirely the principles laid down in

PROTECTING" AMERICAN WORKERS

Nothing in the history of American tarif making has so thoroughly dem onstrated the fallacy of the high pro- the Lawrence, Mass, strikers before the House Rules committee.
 The Woolen Trust is the especial pet of the high protectionists. In order that this trust may enjoy im- munlty from foreign competition. ev cry man. woman and child in the country pays tribute. All along this trust has said: We must have high tarin in order to protect our work men. We can't pay American wa ges If we have to compete with the cheap labor of Europe"
 The rules committee of the House summoned some of the strikers to Washington, and in the same room where Carnegie and Perkins told how they juggled millions. this committee heard fathers, mothers and children tell how whole families were force1 to live on $5 and $6 a week paid by the highly protected woolen trust. The witnesses told how they were forced to work ten hours a day; how they had to use ga sort of molasseS' as a substitute for butter; how chill dren had to go into the mills at an early age in order to keep the family from actual starvation, and how the constant demand of the mill owners was for more and more speed and less pay.
 In the committee room sat some

were scholars sent by the Society. Last year twenty-two scholarships were awarded in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, North Dakota, Iowa, Mas sochusetts, Ohio and Pennsylvania .
 To give city bred men an idea Of farming the Society maintains a Farm Labor Bureau to place them out as farm hands. In this manner prospec- tive farmers are afforded an opportun- ity, before embarking for themselves, Of learning something at least of prac- tical farming, and invidentally, of find ing out for themselves whether they are fitted for it by inclination or oth- erwise. The Farm Labor Bureau has been in operation four years and in that time has placed 1,638 men. In 1911 alone it procured positions for 612 men in IT States.
 This Bureau is not a mere employ ment agency to find work for the un- employed, but it's aims are primarily educational. Some of the men that are placed by it possess quite little capital and want only some exper. fence before starting in on their own account.
 ton If the report is that showing the remarkable development of th= spirit Of cooperation, solidarity and selp-he D among the Jewish farmers in this country. due largely to the Society s educational activity. Before the in augurat 'on of its edica tional work there were 4 Farmers Associat 'ons. Now there ere 47. The natural out come of the increase Of these associa- tiors was their federation into one na- 'tional body and The Federation of Jewish Farmers of America was or ga nized. The keynote of the Fedora ton is cooperation. An important function is accomplished by it's Pur- chasing Bureau, through which the farmers can buy high grade of seeds, fertilizers, machinery, etc. at fair pri- ces and on moderate terms. The Bu- reau purchases in bulk and deals only with the best and most reliable houses Last year the business transacted arr ounted to over S20.00
 The report concludes by giving sketches of a number of successfu ful Jewish farmers. These biographies are full of human interest and show that the right kind of a man can suc- ceed as a farmer under almost any conditions.

of the mill children. They were fresh from the mills, and a mere glance at them told more than spoken volumes could tell. All had pinched faces. All were poorly dressed, some of them having only a cheap sweater in lieu of coat and overcoat. All had dull expressionless faces, in which there was no trace of color or anima- tion. All of them, moreover, were slightly deaf. because of their work amid the fearful c,atter of the mill machinery, so that at times the con,- mittee members almost had to shout to make themselves heard.
 Among them was one little Italian girl-Camilla Tecli by name-who had caught her hair in shafting and had suffered the almost total loss of her scalp. She was unable to work for a year, during which she received not cent in damages or compensa- tion. When at last she was able 10 get out of her bed she went back into the mills at a reduced wage, because she wasn't as strong as for merly.
 All the children looked worn and old, as though they had beeen speed ed up beyond the limit of endurance.
 These children revealed, as nothing else could reveal, that protecting American workingmen'' is the last
  thought of the woolen trust. They stoood as living proof that the motive in seeking a high tariff on wool was greed.

THE WAY TO DO IT

The esteemed Post undoubtedly Life is not one-sided. People who go to the circus want to see the skilled and highly trained performers. but they also want to see the clowns. The clown in his place is frequently worth the entire price of admission. Take the one that pretends to be a bar ber, and enters with a pail of lath- CT and a razor four or five feet long. He's funny. But if he should claim in real life to be a real barber, and that his act was fairly representative of real barbering he would promptly be lodged in a lunatic asylum! nN
 Which leads to the conclusion that the mission of our esteemed contem- porary is to amuse rather than in struct, and not much therefore should be expected of 1t when it attempts ? serious discussion of any serious ques- tion.
 The Post did venture as it says. a few suggestions on bonding, all of which were wrong. It now very carefully misrepresents the position of this newspaper with respect to bonding, and further amplifies it's own entire absence of knowledge of the subject
 Bonding may sometimes be neces- sary. but it is an extraordinary meth cd of caring for municipal expense and should not be resorted to ex- cept upon referendum to the voters.
 The people have to pay the bills, and ought not to be taken into a great debt because of the views how O~er we'll meant, of a few citizens, or politicians.
 The Farmer believes that all bond ing for improvements that are not eelf-supporting should be avoided ex- cept in case of absolute necessity.
 It would have been much wiser finance in the matter of the proposed new high school to make an addition of a one mill tax through four suc- cessive years, to pay for it. This method is not uncommonly pursued. and is almost equal to paying cash in its saving to the tax payers.
 And of course-and it seems pity that our contemporary will not resort to a pencil and a little arithmetic the living cannot avoid payment for the permanent improvements they de- sire to enjoy.
 It is very pretty theory that the generations unborn ought to relieve

There Is hope of . well-based kinA which should bring joy and ultimate contentment to multitlpdes of persons who have been troubled for years with deafness or head-nOises.
 Dr. Coutant, an able specialist. has evolved a newly perfected method tor treating cases where the hearing Ia not perfect or where the sufferer Is harass- ed by ringing. roaring. buzzing or other disagrseable noises in the head. It ap- peas that about 95 out of every hun- tfred cases are from causes amenable to proper treatment
 Dr. C0utant ooes not advocate the use of drugs or electricity. He relies chiefly upon cooperating with Nature in bringing about a speedy and e6ectu- ai cure of morbid aural conditions Re markable cures are reported. many of them being in the cases of deafness that had existed for about 20 to 40 years. With the description given In his newly published book. the learned docto provides a long series of letters, written by per~ons VI had heen given up as hopeless. and who were speedily cured "t home without loss of time and without inconveniens'e by Dr. Coutant's natural home method.

BEATEN CANDIDATE
IS NOW ARRESTED
JAMES L. GRAHAM, SUPREME
COURT ASPIRANT, is HELD
AS A FUGITIVE.

Hot Springs, March 30.-Judge
James l.. Graham, well-known at
torney of this city and defeated candi-
date efor the office of associate justice
of the supreme court in Wednesdays
primary, was arrested here last night
on a warrant charging him with be-
ing fugitive from justice. The war
rant was issued in Justice Affords
court at the request of Sheriff Hall of
Macon county, Missouri, who is here
armed with a requisition said to be
signed by Governor Donaghey. Ac-
lcording to Judge Graham's statement,
the affair will be settled and he will
not have to return to Missouri to an
swer the charge of fraud. He stated
the affair grew out of the sale of some
land in western Texas a few years
ago. He says he was the authorized
agent of the Western Land Company,
which had headquarters in Des
Moines, Ia, and which purported to
sell valuable land "dirt cheap" in
western Texas. Judge Graham states
he sold some of this land to residents
of Macon county, Missouri, and for
warded the money to the head office
in Des Moines, but the company be-
came insolvent and those who pur-
chased the Texas land were left with
out property or money. He says the
purchasers want him to return their
money, and rather than go back to
Missouri and fight the charges, Ora
ham says he will settle matters by re-
funding the money paid him for the
land.
He was arrested last night by Dep
uty Sheriff Holloway and promptly
gave bond in the sum of $500 for his
appearance this morning. The case
was not called at that hour, however,
but Judge Graham and Sheriff Hall
appeared and requested that the case
be permitted to go over until tomor-
row afternoon at o'clock, at which
time it is expected some definite &C
ton will be taken.
Judge Graham has been in the po-
litical game almost since his removal
to Arkansas from Missouri, having
been a candidate for governor, attor-
ney general, circuit judge, prosecut-
ing attorney and mayor.
