The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1913-10-09

recognized as one Of the principal
malustays of the dry in the
State.
~ the signing Of the Judcr-
III wood Simmons on new Dem.
ocratic tariff bin by Prcsj.
dent Wilson last friday night, it
became q las, and as to most ct It's
features goes into effect at once.
In this measure the Democratic
party has kept faith with IFS
pledges to the people to revise the
tariff tax downward, and has given
10 the country a law that promises
relief from Iong-staudiug oucrous
conditions without in any way dis
turbng business or embarrassing
industries; one that also promises
IN time, as its effects com" to be
felt, to materially relieve the high
cost Of living through Il reduction
of prices on many articles IN daily
use.
The ncw law reduces the aver.
age estimated tariff or customs du.
ties about $4,000, 900 annually.
This tax has heretofore rested
largely upon people Of moderate
means, paid indirectly through the
added cost Of the tariff or customs
duties to everything they bought,
whether imported or of domestic
manufacture. The $50, 900, 600
estimated reduction in the govern.
ments revenue from customs du.
ties is provided for by a graduated
income tax. which is made a part
of the new tariff law, on all an.
nual incomes of s. 900 aud over,
thus imposing upon those most
able to bear the cost of govern
ment more equitable proportion
of the burden OF taxation.
Another characteristic of the
new tariff law is its stability or Sc.
curity from recurring tariff tinker.
ing, Under the old law, if the
customs duties brought in more
revenue than the government
needed, surplus was created that
was not always wisely disposed of
and was calculated to encourage eX.
travagauce; If, on the other hand,
they fell short of the needs of gov
eminent, deficit in the revenues
was the result, which had to be
made up by some sort of internal
revenue tax or was the text Of the
protected interests for tariff in
crease. Under this system the tar.
if has gone on increasing since the
civil war tariff tax until it reached
the extreme Of the Payne. Aldrich
tariff law, against Which the PEG
pie revolted and overthrow the
party responsible for its enact.
ment.
The aggregate reduction made
in the estimated receipts from Gus
toms duties by the new tariff law'
guards against surplus of revenue
from that source, and the income
tax, which may be adjusted to the
needs of government, acts as Sc
curity against deficiency in the
revenue. This vii
have tendency 10 check frequent
tariff legislation and discussion
aud give our tariff laws a stability
and Uniformity which they have
not heretofore had. We talk much

Interesting Facts About
Missouri and It's People.

Missouri and Its People.
Jefferson city, Mo, Oct. I'm
teresting information dealing with
the population OF Missouri is given
in bulletin issued today by Conn
missioner John T. Fitzpatrick of
the Bureau OF Labor Statistics.
After the announcement that the
average family of the state is made
up of IA persons, male aud female,
comes the statement that Missouri
contains 81, lH dwellings, which
are occupied by 1882 families.
Further faces are as follows: To
each 100 dwellings there are il0.1
families. or the 1898, 33j persons
making up the population of the
commonwealth, the majority, or
,Sg4,jls males aud females, live in
rural sections, and | 1885, l1, or 49,
1Ol less, in the cities sud towns of
the STATE, with st. Louis containing
about half, or GS7 ,O29 inhabitants.
The rural population OF Missouri
is made up of/9Sj, SO males, aud
Jl0,G23 females. That those vino
make the country their home are
healthier and live longer is shown
hr the fact that men and women ha.
tween ~ and - years old are more
numerous than those of aay other
age, there being lJ3,gg9 persons in
this class The birth rate j. also
higher IN rural sections than In
cities, there being III ,0S3 children
th"r" under years, as compared to
30 100 for the cities and towns. Tn
der | year there were Mss in the
country, and T., jg7 for the urban
population, which means nearly
twice the number OF births for the
rural sections than in the cities in
the course Of year.
For the cities there were 1881
males aud females III the state bee.
tween - and - years old, rs com
pared to 1926 persons Of those
years out in III" state. This cuudi-
ton shows the tendency of th"
younger element TO flock to the cities,
whore they remain Entil the age of
i H. is reached, when many return To

years living on the best the land
offers, and these become healthier
and happier. over O. years, there

there being 97,561 of such males in
the cities aud Il, 9ss females as com
pared to 34.05g males aud 2I,042 fc.
males in rustic sections.
The same condition prevails as to
