THE WHEAT DRAWBACK.

For the steenth time, or more, the
subject Of the drawback Of duties on
wheat comes up. A Minneapolis mill
ing firm has bought shipment of
Canadian wheat which it will grind
for export in its Buffalo mills. Under
the provisions of the law it has paid
the import duty Of 10 cents bushel
on the wheat. and when the product
is exported it will receive a refund
of 80 per cent Of the duty which it
paid on the quantity exported. If it
exports all the -four, bran. shorts,
ETC., contained in the wheat it will
receive all the duty back, less one per
cent, which is retained by the govern
ment to repay the cost Of administra-
tion. If all the -four is exported and
the by-products are retained in this
country, duty will be returned on the
by-products.
An enormous quantity Of breath
has been uttered and ink spilled over
this drawback matter. 1t has been
urged that tho drawback on wheat
actually deprived the American farm
or Of all benefit from the wheat duty:
that It did not affect his interests a
particle; that It would ruin him; and
that It affected him 1njuriously, but
not very much. The doctors differ,

more miles to go. | rushed the thing
through as follows:
| What so fair as a nurse so sweet
Trying to sleep in a railroad seat
With her touseled top and rosy cheek
How can she blame us if we peek?
She rests her head on the window
sill
Then makes a face that's fit to kill.
Next she tries the arm of the chair
A softer pillow is her hair.
Poor little girl she twists and
squirms,
My sympathetic glance she spurns.
She shakes and shivers in the cool
night air,
To offer my coat I would not dare.
For she goes to school in Evanston
Where such noble things are never
done.
So | must needs retain my coat,
And send my sympathies in this note.
AS time was short | was reck-
less and leaving my seat l threw
the folded paper at one of them
and flew madly down the aisle
and out into the vestibule. l did not
dare look behind me for some min
utes. After smoking cigarette l
sauntered back to my seat ready to
resign to my fate. 1t was pleasant
fate though for the girls were laugh
ing and seemed to be enjoying my
masterpiece Without any more for
malties I introduced myself ano. we
had a good laugh over the incident.
AS | had surmised they were from
school. We had plenty of things to
talk about until we arrived at their
station.
They were met by their folks and
as they disappeared in the darkness
of the night it dawned upon me that
there was much truth in the saying
that faint heart never won fair lady
However my seat OF affection Will
have to be running pretty low before

Well, enough for this letter. In the
next | will give you an idea of

and don't forget the cat.

Down at Grayslake, ILL.,, there is
published sort Of magazine under
the rather misleading name of the
'Searchlight'' that is a splendid anti
dote-it takes poison to kill poison
for the Appeal to Reason" which,
by the way, is some kind of a mis-
Aomer itself. No one who takes one
of them should fail to be without
the other. Both are founded on class
prejudice and to read either for any
length of time would make one the
most rabid pessimist Both are we'll
edited, perhaps by men whose minds
have run in the same rut so long
they are really sincere in what they
write.
The Appeal sees the country going
to the dogs at aerOplane speed under
the competitive systematic system
that has caused all the progress made
Dy the world since the dawn of time,
system that is only another meth
cd of expressing the survival of
che fittest." A man who has been
a Spendthrift or a siuggard all his
life will read the Appeal and believe
that the only reason he is not a sue
cess and we'll Off is because the COM
petitiVe system has closed the door
Of opportunity to the Workingman,
whereas there never was a time in
Eli history when man of ambition
and will power had the chances for
self-adVancement if he will but take
them that he has under the stars
and stripes today
The calamity howl of the Search
light is equally loud, but from the
opposite angle. 1t sees terrible men
ace to the nation, yea, verify, one
that actually threatens the preserva-
ton of our form of government, in
the growing disposition on the part
of the common people to do a little
thinking for themselves and elect to
represent them in various capacities
men who will work in their interests
part of the time. 1t views with fren-
zied alarm every move to make gov
eminent more sensitive to the will
of the people and evidently it's edi-
tor thinks the hands of time will be
turned back and the direct primary
will be abolished throughout the land
and the old caucus and convention
system will be restored. For some
unexplainable reason it did approve
OF the election of senators by direct
vote. 1t views as a political hysteria
all the progress made in recent years
toward making government none of
a square-deal proposition for all and
even sees in progressivism the psy-
chopathic cause of immortality in the
atrical performances We are afraid
the "Searchlight" will find this "po-
litical hysteria" is more than a pass
ing manifestation of popular cussed-
ness or insanity, whichever it choos IS
to consider it.

INCOME TAX RETURNS GROW
Credited to Wisccnsin's Prosperity by
Commission Head.

The income tax returns will show
increases this yAr, according to
Professor r. S. Adams of the state
tax commission. He says that both
the amounts collected from individuals
and from corporations will be in ex-
cess of the minimum amounts col
lected last year. In spite of the
change in corporation rate of taxation
made by the last session of the leg
islature the returns from this source
will be about the same.
Professor Adams attributes the in
creases to the prosperity of the state
last year. AS the result of the work
done by income tax assessors, he says,
Wisconsin has the best assessment Of
personal and real estate property of
any state in the Union.
