Desoto Business Revival

A full force was put to work at the
shops last Mondoy and all the men
they can get will be put to work nine
hours a day. This means q revival
OF business in DeSoto and will help
the town. When the force gets in
good working order the payroll will
be over twenty thousand dollars per
month just for the shop men and
depot force, say nothing OF the
train men, who live In DeSoto.
Mr.. Fauth, manager OF the shoe
factory, says the force at the shoe
factory Is being materially increased
since the close OF school and that
their payroll will soon reach twenty
eight hundred dollars per week
which, added to the shop payroll
will make over thirty thousand dol.
lars per month paid out in DeSot.

Good Word Tor the spider.

Even those little weather prophet
spiders that build their nests on the
grass are OF great value. 1t is claimed
that II many OF such webs are seen
In the morning on the lawn. It will
not rain, as these spiders know
enough not to build them when II Is
about to rain. These same spiders
capture hundreds OF flies, and they are
especially valuable in catching mos
quitoes. The webs are harmless. as
are the spiders, and should never be
destroyed.

~HE Supreme Court Of the
United States handed down
an important decision last
Monday affecting the right of the
States to regulate railroad passeng'
er aud traffic rates. The decision
is on an action instituted by the
stockholders of the Great Northern
aud the Minneapolis & st. Louis
railroads against the two-cent law
aud to enjOin the State officials OF
Minnesota from enfOrcinglthat law.
On it's face the decision clearly up
holds the authority of the States tC
regulate rates within their respec'
tive jurisdictions, and as to the
contention that the law is confsca'
tory, upon which some of the low
err courts have based their opinion
that the twO-cent passenger rate
law is unconstitutional, as was the
case with the Missouri two cent
law, the decision of the Supreme
Court, as we understand it, holds
that the burden of proof as to such
contention rests upon the railroads
Individually, that each must estab-
lish its claim upon its special facts
As to the interstate commerce
phase of the question, the court
holds that the States have the
power to regulate rates between
points within their respective lines
The theory of States rights is
clearly outlined in this decision,
hut there is suggestion or hint
that Congress might, if it saw fit,
regulate exclusively the field of ill.,
state commerce.
The court is expected to hand
down decisions in other cases with
in n few days embracing similar
questions, and that in the case OF

Thursday, June 9th, at the Alex

sixty three years. He was a son
Of the late Joseph + Ware, min

Louis in 1850. During the civil
war, then mere lad, he acted az
guide and mail carrier for the Con.
federate army in Arkansas and
Missouri, and acted as guide for
Gen. 10 Shelby's forces during his
raid through this section OF the
State. He was also for time on
the supply boat under Major c. {.
Rainwater.
In 1874 he was married to Miss
Eliza Bissell aud the same
year, with Mr.. l. II. Rodehaver,
started The Pennington Times.
Though practically the owner OF
the plant, he left the management
of the paper principally to MIR,
Rodehaver, being engaged with
other interests in St. Louis. He
was still the owner of The Times

the cost of distribution, which is Of
ten much more serious than the
tariff rate. 1t Is said to cost quar-
ter of cent to transport n pound Of
coffee from Rio Janeiro to New
York, while it costs . cents to take
1t from the retail grocer to the house
nearby.
The tariff bill can not touch, and
10 not expected to touch, this parti-
cular 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 time,
so that out of every dollar we pay
for freight, more than half is be-
cause 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. 1t frequently cost far

goods from the farm to the railroad
station, because the roads are bad,
but from the station to the city
where they are sold it costs but

Is IA step towards removing obstacles
which prevent the freer exchange
OF products of the farm, the mill
and the mine, but no intelligent man
expects it to be more than IA step.
What, then, is the principal bene-
fit arising from the tariff bill? To
my thinking it Is moral and mem
tai benefit. 1t will prevent, because
II promotes competition, the taking
OF our people into the power Of great
combinations, or of great business
enterprises, whether or not they are
combinations. 1t opens the door

Secretary Redfield on
the Democratic Tariff.

Secretary OF Commerce Redfield
has written for the Wichita KAN
Beacon the following interesting ar
ticle concerning the democratic tariff
bill:

wood tariff bill by the removal OF
taxation from the ordinary articles
Of food aud use.

lican party took too serious a view

to require that the product Of the
former be taxed to protect the latter.
have never seen any tables to
show that the Canadian hen laid so
many more eggs day as to make
the American hen afraid of her
Yet for some unexplained reason,
we have carried duty on eggs for
many years, as though there was
something portentious about the egg
laying abilities of the hen across the
border. Now that duty Is cut from
@ cents to cents, and although that
does not mean IA great earthquake

That does not mean that our mar
kets will be flooded with Canadian

eggs are not there to do the flood
ing. II will not affect the farmer at
all, but it may affect favorably the
retail price Of eggs in the great cen
ters of population. And so with
other food products made free or re.
duced.
On the other hand, the farmer is
particularly benefited by the putting
on the free list of many articles of
manufacture which he has to use.
These articles are selling in large
quantities abroad, SO there is no
longer any excuse for taxing the
American consumer to protect the
concerns that make them.
So far as the removal of the tax
can directly reduce the price, the
farmer should be benefited thereby.
In fact, the feature OF the bill!
one may distinguish one feature
from auother-is the large addition
TO the free list OF articles Of common
consumption by all people.
A few of the more prominent are
agricultural implements, bagging,
binding Irvine, typewriters, sewing
machines, machines for construction
and maintenance of roads, coal, fer.
tilizer, hoop iron, nails, spikes and
staples, horse and OK shoes, oils,
rails, barbed wire, wire fencing, and
in general the articles of commOnest
use.
So far, therefore, as the removal
OF unnecessary tariff taxes can af.
feet the retail prices of ordinary
commodities, the bill is step in the
direction. of reducing the cost of liv.
ing.
say a step, because there are "A
great many factors in the cost of
living which the tariff bill does not
touch and is not intended to touch.
For example, one of the greatest
elements in the cost Of living, and
one which bears most heavily on the
producers, is the cost of distribution.

consumer several times what the

PIONEER PAPER or THE COUNTY

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the report Of the October
meeting of the county commission
ers. There will be found passage
which is to the effect that petition
of Edward Braddock and others for
the Improvement Of roads leading
into.the village of Linton was re-
jected for the reason that there are
no funds available for such work.
Our county commissioners are no
doubt right that there are no funds
available. 1t is their duty to know
such things. However, il is la
mentable state of affairs when it is
impossible to secure enough work
on roads leading to the county seat
OF the county. point which prac-
tically every taxpayer in the coun-
ty must visit at least once q year.
1t is well-known fact that the
roads leading into Linton from
every direction are among the poor
est roads in the county. Some
small amount of work has been done
through the medium of Linton's
share of the automobile fund.
Nevertheless. it is almost impossible
for heavy teams or automobiles to
travel the roads at certain times. The
road north from Linton to Temvik
is perhaps the most.traveled road
in the county. Yet it is the most
abominable piece of driveway it has
been the writer's luck to travel in
many day. There are sections of
the county where hundreds of dol
lars have been spent on roads.
Where in the county are there roads
more important than those leading
to the county seat, roads in the GEN.
ter Of the county which are travelled
more or less by all the citizens of
the county and not by those only of
sections, as n.the case of some of
those roads upon which large sums
have been expended? Not long ago
some repair work was being done on
the bridge across the Beaver three
miles east of town. That road for
some time was impossible, absolute.
ly. There was no way Of reaching
Linton from the east. We do not
blame the county commissioners
necessarily that there are not some
funds available for use on roads sur.
rounding this town. But there is
certainly some method of getting a,
it. 1t is pretty nearly high time
that such method was found out anC

enough in the burning Of the Vol

tion of permanent county fair as

such an undertaking is to have the

ments may be made for the next

fair are being gotten out Of the way
as fast as possible and the organiza-
tion of a permanent incorporation

ly understood to he the sentiment
of the people of the county that our
county fair should be perpetuated.
1t is also understood and expected
that the county commissioners will
assist in financing the proposition
another year. However, private
assistance will be great factor in
the upbuilding of such an institution.
Not only will the finances thus
raised supplement the amount set
aside by the county. but it Will tend
to make those taking part financially
take greater working interest in
the undertaking and the result will
be an exhibit each year of which the
county may well be proud There
are some ideal locations for fair
grounds around Linton and the
water of Beaver creek will obviate
the neeccessity of large expenditures
for a sufficient water supply for
such uses. Then there is ground
along the Beaver which could be rea-
sonably secured for such purposes
that are provided with natural
groves and will be far better than
many counties are able to boast of
for their fair grounds. The i'm.
portant feature of the whole thing,
however, is to see that it is pushed
at once; not allowed to drag until
late next year when the time for
next years fair is only few weeks
distant and when there will not be
sufficient time to secure exhibits
nor to interest our farmers in the
Fair.

One of the most terrible of sea-
disasters of recent years and the
worst since the sinking of the Titan
ic was the burning of the Uranium
liner Volturno Friday in the middle
Of the Atlantic ocean. 1t is believed
that more than hundred people
persisted, while some five hundred
were rescued by dozen ships which
answered the wireless call of dis.
tress. Other large liners hear d the
call and hurried to the assistance of
the doomed ship, but the terrific
gale which was blowing prevented
them from approaching near enough
to the burning ship to rescue those
on board. 1t was not until morning
that the rescue work was accom-
piished, although frantic efforts
were made to run life. boats to the
