Washington News Exchange Letter

Washington, D. c., Jan. 1O-In the
Money Trust" investigation by the
house committee, it is shown that J.
P. Morgan has under his control the
enormous sum, in cash ready for in
vestment, of $162,00Q,000; and that
during the last ten years he has
actually placed for investment, in Sc
curties of interstate corporations:
more than $2,0OOO00,0OO.
Manufacturers and their represent
atives from the industrial parts of the
country are in Washington to urge
upon congress that rates in the new
tariff legislation be fixed that are
favorable to their special interests.
The representative of the National
Association of Manufacturing Perfum-
ers claims that the women of the
country will suffer if the duties on
perfumery materials are advanced.
From the arguments in the Arch
bald impeachment trial before the SEN
ate it appears that the main fight is
over the legal points. Most of the
facts charged are admitted by Judge
Archibald and in his testimony he sad

Washington will have it's second an

Increasing the Road Dragging Fund.

At the coming session of the Iowa
Legislature a determined effort will
be made to set aside large portion
of the township road tax for main
tenance purposes or to increase the
amount that can be used only for
dragging and caring for dirt roads.
The experience of townships where
the law has been strictly enforced
during the past two years has been
principally useful in demonstrating
the fact that one mill is not sufficient
to carry on the work as it should be
done during the entire season. Post
master F. A. Nimocks, OF Ottumwa,
who acted as dragging superintend-
ent of Center township without pay,
used approximately twice the amount
of the road dragging fund and it was
carefully expended. While the traffic
over the roads in and out of Ottum-
wa would undoubtedly be somewhat
heavier and cut up the road more
than in some places, it must also be
taken into consideration that they
were in an exceptionally good condi-
ton to begin with as they had been
dragged quite regularly for number
of years.
OF course, in a large number of
counties the law was practically null
flied by the peculiar conditions OF
1912, a year in which there were
scarcely a day from the time the roads
were fit to drag until winter, when
the farmer was not crowded with work
that could be done and that needed
to be done at once.
We believe that an ordinary year
would find the drag law reasonably
successful in bringing about i'm
proved conditions but we are thor !
oughly convinced that more funds ,
should be used for that purpose. We
believe that the township should de-
vote more of it's money to mainten-
ance and more of the county funds |
should be expended for highway i'm
The matter should be given careful
by the legislature and
in revising the law it would be we'll
enough for them to eliminate about
30 per cent of the red tape and UNI
necessary instructions contained there
in and give the township trustees a
little greater latitude as to arrange
ments for dragging. An incompetent
or crooked board of trustees could |
steal the money as conveniently un-
der the present law, or perhaps more
easily, than under law which placed |
in their hands more authority and
therefore placed on their shoulders
greater responsibility.
Give the trustees the power and |
then the responsibility will be upon

1t revision of the tariff except a

out a revision of the tariff except a
reduction of the schedules. This
brings before us the question as to
how business will be effected in case
change is made. We all remember
when, under the Wilson bill passed
in 1898, which was passed by dem
ocratic congress and which abandoned
the protective features of the law
which preceded it, that business stag
nation soon followed after this law
went into effect and even before
it was passed. In antici patton of what
it would do business was disturbed,
factories were closed, and laboring
men were thrown out Of employment.
After it went into full operation the
country experienced .fagnation in all
lines of business and depression pre-
vailed throughout the length and
breadth of the land. This condi
ton continued until otter McKinley's
election and the enactment of the
Dingley tariff law in 1897 with marked
protective features and since that
time business has prospered and the
greatest development the country has
ever experienced in all it's past his
tory has followed.
While the Payne-Aldrch tariff law
passed three years ago was not so
strongly protective as the Dingley
law il nevertheless unquestionably
was q protective measure and since
it's passage business has continued in
a prosperous condition and prosper
ity abounds in all lines of industry.
With a revision of the tariff which
means free trade or Il tariff for rev.
enue, which is the same thing, it is
not safe to assume that times will
remain as good as they are at this
time. We predict that when the new
law goes into effect business paraly
sis will inevitably result and that
before two years have expired the
country will experience a marked de-
cline in the prosperity which now OBJ
tains.
We sincerely hope that this pre-
diction may not become true, but
judging from the past, no other ration
al conclusion can be reached. The
who have worried about
the protective feature of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law and who have grown
hoarse in their denuncia ton of Presi-
dent Taft for not urging more en-
phatic downward revision of the tariff
will now enjoy the satisfaction of wit
Messing a downward revision by
party that will accommodate them
with what they have SO long contend
ed for: but we predict that inside of
two or three years they will
feel that an apology is due from them
not only to President Taft, but to
the republican leaders who have 10y
