Know Iowa.

The Iowa corn crop is greater in val
ue than the wheel crop of Canada or
Argentine Republic.
The annual corn crop of Iowa is worth
more than the annual yield of either
iron ore, anthracite coal, petroleum
products, or the products of all. the
gold, silver or copper mines of the
United States.
Iowa has more bearing apple trees
than any two Pacific Coast or noun
tain states.
Iowa's annual apple crop is worth
more than that of any of the Pacific
Coast or mountain states. Iowa's ap.
pie crop is exceeded in value only by
the states of New York. Pennsylvania,
Michigan and Missouri.
The orchard products of Iowa are
greater in value than the orchard pro.
ducts of any Pacific Coast state, ex-
Guiding citrus fruits.

value than that of any state west of the
Mississippi river, except Missouri and

Capitol Extension As An Issue.

The Knoxville Express says that the
act of the last Republican legislature
in authorizing an extension of the CAPT.
tol grounds at cost of some $4,000
600, Twill be an issue in next years
campaign, and good many members
who voted for it will not have another
chance to be smarter than their con-
stituents. If some fellow
wants to be beaten fol senator or rep
resentative, just let him run on plat
form demanding capitol enlargement.
1t doesn't matter much what the
Supreme Court may do with these
cases if the people can get chence at
the matter"
The appropriation for capitol grounds
illustrates the extent to which
Des Moines boosters have been able to
induce legislators to forget their duty
to their own constituents. There is no
excuse at all for surrounding the CAPT
toll with a 6O-acre field. To do so
would be a wilful waste and an abuse
of the states taxing power.
When the Des Moines Tribune
expresses doubt that the Democratic
party will take critical attitude toward
the gross extravaganza proposed in the
extension, it speaks from the wells Of
hope rather than from knowledge born
of faith. The Iowa Democratic party,
if it have the political sagacity we
credit it with, will use the capitol
extension issue to instance the truth of
what it has been saying all along, that
the Republican administration of this
state is wasteful and extravangant.

loWd's Senators on the Tariff.

Senator Kenyon said that if he was
satisfied, at the conclusion of the de-
bate, that the Democratic tariff bill
was better measure than the Payne
Aldrich bill, he would vote for the for
mer. He voted sgainest it. What a
constituencies, plunderin measure the
new tariff must be to be worse than
Payne-Aldrich infamy! And yet Sen.
ator Kenyon dare not assert that the
Democratic m easure is not better for
the consuner and producers of the
country than the law that it repeats
and succeeds.
That Senator Cummins voted against
the bill is not in the least surprising.
He said couple Of years ago in Chi
cago that be would rather trust the
worst Republican in Office than the
best Democrat. He voted against and
denounced the Payne-Aldrich Law as
the worst legislation ever enacted in
the name of the Republican party.
But he would rather retain that law
than adopt the best Democratic legis-
lation possible.
Senator Cummins is flirting with the
hope that if he gets the Republican
primary nomination for senator he will
win in the election, notwithstanding
stand pat detection, through the aid of
progressive Democrats. Any person
styling himself democrat who should
vote for Cummins for senator after his
vote against the tariff bill, should be
publicly drummed out of the party.
The Democratic party has no higher
duty in this state in the immediate
future than to retere Albert B. Cum
Minis to private lifey-Telegraph Her

Have ting Onions.

Onion harvest is on in full blast in
St. Ansgar, and all the available men
women and children in this section are
finding easy and profitable employ
ment picking the odoriferous vegeta-
bic. 1t is estimated that sixty car.
loads of onions will be shipped out of
St. Ansgar this year. While the yield
is not as heavy as last year, some of
the crop is making 600 bushels to the
acre, and the onions are bringing bet
ter prices than year ago.

The Tariff Bill Passes.

The Underwood tariff bill has passed
the senate with certain amendments
Next in order will be conference be-.
tween senate and house to agree upon
the final form Of the measure. The
bill as accepted by the conference COM
mittee doubtless will be passed at once
by both houses, and will become law
on receiving the signature of Presi-
dent Wilson.
None of the senate amendments are
radical in character. and no difficulty
in reaching an agreement between
house and senate is to be expected.
The crucial points of the bill were
not changed in the senate at all. Sug-
ar and wool formed the bloody angle Of
the tariff battle. The tariff barons
who have looted the nation so long
made their chief stand behind the WOOL
sack and sugarbag redoubt, and met
decisive defeat. Raw wool goes on the
free list at once, with sweeping re-
auctions in duties on wooden goods.
The tariff on sugar is cut heavily now,
ard will be abolished in three years.
Seldom in recent times have the
interests" and the people met in
sharper conflict than in the fight on
these two schedules, and never have
the people won a more clear.cut VIC
tory. The Louisiana senators, nomi-
nally democratic, deserted to the en-
envy at once-but they went alone.
With this exception, President Wilson
and Senator Kern have kept their par
ty ranks intact, and the deserters have
gone down deserved and dishonored
defeat.
The new law-when it becomes a
law-must be judged by its fruits. 1t
must lower the price OF commodities,
the duties on which have been reduced
Or abolished, and to that extent it must
ower the cost of living-or be declar
ed failure. The test is just one
when rightly applied; and The Journal
las no doubts, either as to the value
# the bill or the fairness of the Amer.
IAN people.
1t will take time for the new sched-
lies to show their effect, and no
mount of tariff revision at home can
for the waste of capital in
var or the destruction of credit in pan
c abroad. But the The Journal be-
ieves the bill just passed will save
American consumers hundreds of mill
ions of dollars every year.-Chicago
