Stock Ohio Woods.

Four thousandHungarian phea-
SAINTS have been released in the
woods of Ohio by the state fish
and game department. They
have been we'll distributed over
the state, the purpose being to
try to stock the woods with these
birds. They are considered har-
dy and good hustlers for their
own food in rough weather and
able to stand the Ohio winters.
They are expected to multiply by
ten next year and after that the
state should have them in great
abundance.
One deer is at large in the nor

is supposed to be the one that
escaped from Chillic cothe during
the flood last spring. Another
deer is at large in Knox and

reported recently from each.
Where it came from is rot known.

Two Timely Talks on
the Tariff.

GQ0 Iarlu.
Already the nature of the is
sues of the campaign next year
seems to be settled in a general
way-Gov. Cox and his machine
in the state contest. and the tar
iff as to the struggle for Con-
gress. The people are becoming
informed as to the first issue !;
practical enlightenment as to the
second issue will probably come
in course of experience.
Now is a good time for voters
to read up" on the utterances
of accepted authorities on the
tariff. There are two talks by
Ohio men in Congress which sup
ply valuable information. and as
copies of the speeches are avail
able, special attention is directed
to them.
One is by the Hon. Nicholas
Longworth, former congressman
from Cincinnati. His speech is
entitled, 'Some Aspects of Tariff
Revision" and was made on the
last day of his congressional ca
reer. In his introduction Mr..
Longworth draws attention to
the fact that the hearings before
the Ways and Means committee
consumed less than a month, and
that representatives of great IN
dustries involving millions of
dollars and employing thousands
of workmen. speaking not only
for the employers but for the en-
ployees as we'll, were allowed on
ly five or ten minutes to present
their case. The first aspect OF
the subject to which Mr.. Long,
worth devoted himself was as to
the effect of tariff duties upon re-
tail prices. He pointed out that
the testimony showed that the
retail price-that is, the price the
consumer has to pay-of articles
produced in this country, in the
factory as we'll as on the farm,
is in most instances from two to
three, and in some cases even
many more times as high as the
manufacturer or farmer gets for
the same article. Coffee was ci-
ted as a foreign article upo"
which there is no duty; its aver
age price landed at any port OF
the United States, prepared and
ready for consumption, is less
than ten cents a pound: but its
retail price is between 25 and 80
cents a pound. Taking up the
general question of the effect OF
duties on cost, Mr.. Longworth
contended that the hearings dem
onstrated ,that.where the duty is
anywhere near the point required
to measure the difference in the
cost of articles produced in this
country and abroad, the duty
goes to the benefit of labor. He
declined to accept the claim that
the extra efficiency of American
mechanics is sufficient to make
up for the advantage foreign
manufacturers have in the less
cost of labor. 1t is laid downaas
an economic truth by Mr.. Long.

Assistant Superintendent Ander-
son of the municipal lodging
house estimated last night that
go men had applied for places to
sleep. AS the house is equipped
with only 176 beds, many were
forced to lie on the floor. About
$50 men were sent to the Palace
Hotel, where they spent the hight
on the concrete floor of the base

Illinois Steel Co., which employs
about 10000 men, has retained
it's entire force, but has reduced
the time of each man one-third.
Seven hundred men have just
been laid off by the Bethlehem
(Pa.) Steel Works, owing to the
slackening up of the steel indus
try.
The Lackawanna Steel Co.,
which is one of the strongest OF
the independent concerns, has
laid off 5000 men since early No
ve,nber out of a normal force OF
5000.
At the Philadelphia and Eddy
stone plants of the Baldwin Lo-
comotive Works the weekly pay
roll is now over 800, 900 less than
it was last summer. There are
now 5000 fewer men employed
than there were in June. .
Last summer the Burnham
plant of the Standard Steel Works
employed 5000 men. Last week
the number was 1000.

must preserve duties which shall
at least protect the wages of
workmen who are in active COM
petition with workmen abroad.
In Mr.. Longworth's opinion the
Democracy is doomed to failure
in its attempt to reduce substan-
TALLY the cost of living through
the tariff without diminishing the
purchasing power of the people.
The second talk which is COM
mended to the voters is a speech
delivered in the Senate of the
United States by the Hon. Theo,
dore E. Burton, on July last.
1t is really a philosophic com.
pendulum OF the general funda-
mental principles underlying the
tariff, and bears evidence of the
learning and logic o. q thorough
student of fiscal economics Sen
ator Burton admits that 'the
great majority of writers on Geo.
nomics have taken one view.
while statesmen and men of af-
fairs, at least in the making of
laws, have accepted another, and
as result of this situation we
have often heard the absurd ex-
preston that free trade is correct
in theory but that protection is
right in practice. Theory and
practice cannot be opposed. That
which is right in practice must
be theoretically right as well. If
they differ it must be because
the information upon which the
theories are based is not suffi-
cient or the differences fror, that
information are wrong" Sena-
tor Burton makes strong point
in drawing attention to the fact
that physical conditions as we'll
as tariffs give a certain amount
of protection. He also dwells
upon the fact that one of the
chief reasons for o protective
policy is the spirit of nationality.
One weakness of the free trade
theory is that it proceeds upon
the hypothesis that man is wholly
an economic creature that he is
moved entirely by the desire for
gain. But the purely economic
man does not exist. Those who
control the fiscal policy of a state
must consider national life as a
thing quite apart from the indi-
vidual life. Mere cheapness or
accumulation is of minor import
ance in comparison with the or,
ganization and maintenance of
the productive forces of society.
| While the interest Of the consul
mer must not be lost sight of, the
protection and development of
rational life, the maintenance of
it's internal suficiency, making
possible the development of it's
natural resources and affording
diversity of employment for all
the varied capabilities of it's peo-
pie, are objects which must be
promoted even at the expense of
! individual consumers. Nearly all

Appropriations for 1914-15 for

stitutions were recommended in the
house today by ]. N. Herr, chairman
of the house ways and means commit
tee. These recommendations show
that $69,500 less than the amount ap-
propriated two years ago is asked for
eight of the nine charities and that the
committees have reduced the budgets

lature by these same institutions to

any material reductions in the appro-
priations allowed by the 1911 legisla-
ture for the support of the state char
tiles. The recommendations for eight

BILLIARD IS CLAD
Because Legislature Killed Fire
Marshal Bill.
Thinks 80 Per Cent of the
Others Ought to Be Killed.

I'm glad the senate killed the bill
creating the office of state fire mar
shal,'' observed Mayor J. B. Billiard
this morning. "It's an entirely un-
necessary office The legislature is
doing good work in killing bills, and
1 hope they will continue until they've
killed at least 80 per cent. of their
proposed measures"
Mayor Billiard discussed proposed
legislative measures with a State Jour
nal reporter, and expressed himself
strongly opposed to several bills that
may possibly be passed. Mr.. Billiard
is warmly averse to the corporation
tax law, which he declares is double
taxation, to the cement culvert bill,
the double platoon firemen's law, the
bill pensioning fremen, and the bill
instituting the office of city forester.
"Many are greatly interested in the
corporation tax bill,' said Mayor Bill
lard. PERSONALLY I am opposed to 1T,
because it is double taxation, and
would work against the development
or successful operation of many en-
terprising manufacturing concerns. l
don't think it's fair to tax corpora
ton double what an individual or
partnerships doing the same class of
business would be taxed.
''As for the bill proposed by the
state highway engineer continued
the mayor, providing that only cast
iron or cement culverts be used in the
state, I am confident that If the meas
ure passes the legislature it will throw
out of business several manufacturing
enterprises that are now engaged in
making galvanized iron culverts. We
have one such firm in Topeka. While
culverts of galvanized iron can by no
means be called permanent, they last
fully 25 years. and can be replaced at
the end of that time more cheaply
than a cement culvert can be made.
should be sorry to see measure
pass-d that would destroy any manu-
featuring interests in Kansas"
Mayor Billiard opines the double
platoon firemen's bill would be ex-
tremely expensive, and have a ten
dency to destroy the effectiveness of
the department. He is opposed to the
vice law by which the appeal by per-
sons suspended would be to the civil
service commission instead of the city
commission. The mayor sees no rea-
son for pensioning firemen, as they
are already provided for, while the
police department and other en-
ployees of the city have no provision
s'if any bill of that nature should
be passed, it ought to cover all the
city employees" the mayor asserted.
creating the office of city forester
and does not consider there is any de-
mand for the creation of such an
office.
'In a general way, I don't believe in
creating any more offices, positions,
boards and other employees than are
absolutely necessary" he declared.

That VIII Be Recommendation
of judiciary Committee.
TO SAVE $4,000 A YEAR
Say Some Judges Only Work
so Days a Year.
Will ReapDOrtiOn Judicial. Dis
trictS of State.

In their 0rt to reduce state taxes,
the joint committee on judicial appor-
tionment will probably recommend to
the legislature within The next week
that at least one-third of the SO ju-
dicial districts of Kansas be abolish
ed. This action, members of the COM
mittee claim, will mean a saving to
the state of not less than $50, 600 a year.
In a session held last night, members
of the committee both from the house
and senate went over the work of the
Kansas district judges and prepared
for the selection of subcommittee to
draft a bill calling for the abolition of
at least one-third of the judicial dis
tricts of the state. Records read at
the meeting showed that in many of
the districts that the district Judges
are working but 40 to so days a year
to earn their $4,000 salary, while in
other districts the judges are working
from 200 to 300 days a year to earn the
same salary. 1t isn't right members
of the committee argue, and they pro-
pose a legislative enactment that will
equalize the work of the Kansas iur-
lists.
Judges in districts where 40 or SO
days actual work is done each wear.
may find at the end of the present
session that they have had three or
four additional counties nailed onto
their district and that they must not
only travel a greater distance TO do
their work, but must put in the great
er portion of their time to earn a nav
check from the state treasurer's office
In districts of more than one county
where the work is heavy, a part of the
work will be crowded onto the iudees
in districts where there is but little
litigation. Districts composed of but
one county and which have a congest-
ed calendar each year, will proba bly,
not be affected by the proposed change
Records read at the meeting showed
that some of the judges are earning on.
rather drawing 4 salary from the state
for holding 40 to so days of court each
year. On the other hand a maximum
of BIB days actual court work last wear
was shown, while in other districts
judges are working 200 to 25O DAYS a
year to earn the same salary-s3. 900 a
year-that is paid to the judges in dis
trictS where there is practically no ac-
tive court term.
This condition will have a serious
shake up if some of the members of the
judicial apportionment committee have
a voice in the matter. They contend
that by eliminating II of the districts
that the state will save S36, 900 a year
on that account Then there are IL
court reporters to be reckoned with.
Each draws 81, 800 year for their work
and the state will save that expense.
So, in looking for way to reduce
state taxes, the judiciary apportion-
ment committee promises to come to
the rescue of the new Democratic state
administration and offer bill which
