The Underwood Tariff Bill,

representative George R. Smith
on Monday told the house what, in
his opinion would be the effect of
the Underwood bill when it became
a law. Judge Smith said in part:
II am not so much alarmed over
the effect of the Underwood bill on
the country as are some of my COL
leagues. I do not believe that it
will bring on panic, because the
trainers of this bill have placed it's
burdens on those of our people who
are the most patriotic and self-sacri-
ficing.
"None of our great Industries that
are highly organized and monopo-
Lied have been interfered with. and
in many instances they have been
extended privileges that they have
not under the present law. Does
anyone contend that the great steel
trust, the beef trust, the sugar trust,
or the wooden trust have been materi-
ally handicapped by the Underwood
bill? The burdens of this new fiscal
policy are deliberately placed on the
farmers, the small manufacturers
and the laborers. The benefits are
given to those who do not need
them. The consumer will gain moth
ing. Whatever loss the producer will
sustain by the lowering of his prices
will result in profits to the importer,
the trust magnate, the middleman
and the foreign producer, but will
never reach the consumer.
'The actual producer is sacrificed
on the altar of free trade for the
sake of redeeming platform pledges

business principles, common sense

There are instances on record
where it is cheaper for people to
move out of town than to pay taxes.
Here is one of them: Mrs. Wvnne
of Anthem, Iowa, was given judy
ment of $4,000 III district court
against the town. for the death of
her husband. The population of the
town is 600: which means a tax of
1888 against every man, woman and
child in the community, and in some
families there are ten children. -.

The government is after the Quack
doctors of Pittsburg, Pa, postoffice
inspectors having recently arrested
several of them for using the mails
for fraudulent purposes. From the
advertisements which appear in some
of the dailies and religious papers
it would seem that the postofice in
spectors have a vast field for OPERA
tion in this line alone. Apparently
the country is overrun with quacks,
and everyone of them should be

NOTHING TO TT,

There is nothing to the point raised
by the Twin City newspapers that
Hon. Henry Rlnes is ineligible for
the position of state auditor. The
emoluments of the state auditor we're
not increased at the recent session of
the legislature. For several years
past Auditor Iverson has been receiv-
ing 50, 600 per year-$4, 200 as auditor
and $500 as clerk of the drainage
board. Chap. 400, laws of 1913, fixed
the auditors salary at 81, 6OO-just
exactly the amount he has been re-
ceiving. Hence there can be no
shadow of doubt as to Mr.. Rines'
eligibility. Certainly the inhibition
contained in section 9 article of the
state constitution that, ''no senator
or representative shall hold an office
under the state which has been
created or the emoluments of which
have been increased during the ses-
sion of the legislature of which he
was a member until one year after
the expiration of his term of office in
the legislature" will not apply to
Mr.. Rines or any other member of
the legislature of 1913 who may de-
sire to become a candidate for the
office of state auditor in 1914.

Settlers who have passed away during
the last year, your committee regrets
to say that the list is unusually large,
a member Of your obituary committee
being among them; and this is more
regretable by reason Of the fact tnat
our deceased committeeman had in
charge the preparation of the NOR
tuary report to the society and with
bis loss much valuable information
respecting the birth, marriage, and
settlement in Lincoln County, must
be omitted from the several respec-
tive obituaries contained in this re-
port; and as only such reference
can be made as is personally known
to the mem Der who prepared the re-
port, he deemed it wise not to indulge
In extended eulogies on any Of the de-
ceased. Your committee has endeavor-
ed TO give the names in order Of
deaths and with one exception, has
been able to do SO.
August, 1912, claimed the largest
number of our membership and is as
follows:
Mrs Lydia Fowler, August 1st. Mrs.
Ella M. Conklin, August 18th and
Mrs Gussie J. Brown, August 29th..
June, 1912, claimed two: Arthur
Linn, June 30, and Ole Hegge, June
80, both having died on the same day.
November, 1912, one; Ole Halder-
son Hvattum, on the End Of that
month.
December, 1912, Avis Brown Fahlen-
kamp, on the 4th Of that month.
January, 1913, claimed two promin-
ent citizens, Thomas Wright, long a
resident of Delaware Township, on
the 18th, and o. S. Clifford, of Canton,
on the 10Th OF the same month.
February, 1913, also claims two
each of whom died at remarkably ad

not able to learn the date of her

This list is necessarily imperfect

Thus it will be seen that since our

have answered to the last earthly

with whom we delighted to associate;
and whose deaths have rendered sad /,
homes, which before, we're joyous and
happy in their presence and can
never again be, what they we're with
out them. No considerations of stole
philosophy, or devotion to the tenets
of religion, can ever wholly suffice to
bind the broken chords of affection
thus sundered; or effectually heal the
wounded heart.

we'll, cherishing the fond hope that
we may meet and know them again
