Nav Revive Old. Law.

An old, forgotten law, enacted In
Kansas at the time of great need and
never used, is to be called into action
after lying dormant in the statute
books more than a third of century
1t is the old warning out" law, made
to fight the grasshoppers after the dis
astrous raids of the locusts in the
early seventies. There never has been
a time when it was needed heretofore
but Gov. George H. Hodges has been
petitioned to invoke it's use in central
Kansas to fight the chinch bugs, which
threatened to do great damage tc
growing crops this year.

has been recently installed a species
of lifeboat which is quite novel, These
boats, which do not weigh more than
the ordinary lifeboat of wood, are
made to hold thirty-five people and are
composed of several cOncentric layers.
The exterior is of willow; then comes
a layer of wood. then another of can
vas, a second layer of wood and Sec
ond layer of canvas. The interior of
the boat is of wood. Experiment has
demonstrated that this kind of lifeboat
Is practically "unbreakable,' and 1t Ia

which so easily overturns the ordinary

council to stop it. The odor and
not the wind. The council there
fore, politely requested these two
men to see that the water from
the creamery and the Sanford no.
tel be diverted to other channels.
And that is where grief started.
Both these two men we're willing
to comply but where were they
to divert these cast off streams of
water, when cess pools ran over
and the ground refused to absorb
all this waste water? Then the
question came up, WHAT about a
sewer system9" But could the
city undertake to construct a sys-
temp Could the city get much
larger and not have to build one9
What kind would be practical ?
Where would the city put all this
muchly dispised water and smell !?
Would the fall of the land be
sufficient to construct a pipe line
to the lake north eastl How long
will the private sewer systems and
cess pools be conducive to the
health of three thousand people ?
Seriously, how will an enterprise
like the creamy grow and not be
provided with some kind of an
outlet for the waste water! This
question is a serious one and the

WIN, ". heulotu'
the Department of Commerce was
appointed by the president-as a
cabinet member because he is one
Of the Nations experts on the tar
if. In discussing the Underwood
tariff bill, which has just passed
the house he said, in a recent ar
ticle:
so far, therefore, as the re-
moyal of unnecessary tariff taxes
can affect the retail prices of ordl-
nary commodities, the bill is a
step in the direction of reducing
the cost of living,
| say step, because there are a
great many factors in the cost OF
living which the tarltf bill does not
touch and is not intended to touch.
For example, one Of the great
est elements in the cost OF LIVING
and onerwhich bears most heavily
on the producers, is the cost OF
distribution. A barrel of potatoes
may cost the consumer several
times what the farmer gets for IT
merely because of the cost of dis
tribution, which is often much
more serious than the tariff rate
Ii is said to, cost a quarter of a
cent to transport a pound of coffee
from Rio Janeiro to New York,
while it costs two cents to take II
from the retail grocer to the house
nearby.
The tariff bill can not touch and
is not expected to touch. this par
ticular excessive element of cost,
Furthermore, everybody knows
that in railroad transportation the
waste at terminals is several times
greater than the cost of hauling
the freight. We still continue to
handle our package freight box by
box in the old fashioned way, one
at a time, so that out of every
dollar we pay for freight, more
than half is because of medieval
handling methods and not for
transportation itself.
In the same way, perhaps the
most serious single element of tax
on the community is that made by
bad roads. Itfrequently costs the
farmer a dollar a ton mile to get
his goods from the farm to the
railroad station, because the roads
s are bad, but from the station tC
the city where they are sold il
costs but three quarters of a CEN
a ton mile.

that the tariff bill is no cure-all
1t is step towards removing OBJ
stacles which prevent the free
exchange of products of the farm
the mill and the mine, but no in
telligent man expects it to be NOR,
than a step.
What, then, is the principa
benefit arising from the tariff bill
To my thinking it is a moral ant
a mental benefit. It will prevent
because it promotes competition
