DAVID STARR JORDAN, the big edu-
Gator of the Pacific coast, and not only
a big educator, but big statesman out
of office, where most big statesmen
are found, throws the white light OF
his big mind on the subject of the high
cost of living, and in so doing assigns
reasons and draws differences similar IN
many respects to those which have
been often stated by the press. The
learned professor says that the laborer
has too many mouths to supply, not
those of his own family, but those who
feed at the public crib, and that be-
cause of this fact the expense of his
living is going slyward. Professor Jor-
dan saws that in France and Germany
there is a public official for every six
teen people; that because of these
drones the cost of living and burdens
of government are almost unbearable;
that we are fast drifting into the con-
ditionS which prevail in those countries,
and unless a halt is called, the price OF
the necessaries of life will continue to
go up. His reasoning is plain. A child
can comprehend it even though the
voters don't. Producers cannot be con-
verted into non-producing consumers as
rapidly as we are converting them In
this state without bringing about the
very conditions we are now experience
ing. All this progressiveism and its
attendant chain of sinecuriSm may look
good on the surface, but internally it
is a fostering, abhorrent mess, a sniff
of which is sufficient to turn the stom-
ach of the honest laborer. The high
cost of living, the higher cost of gov.
eminent, are both directly traceable tc
the multitudinous sinecurists. The lab
oring man is finding too many mouth;
outside those of his family, and the
reason why he is is because the public
is manufacturing too many places, sof
berths. for men who hate work. :

THE new Democratic tariff, if it be-

THE new Democratic tariff, IT 1T be-
comes a law as planned, will doubtless
be hailed with delight by the sugar and
wool growers of all other countries, the
citrous fruit growers of Spain, Italy
and the West Indies, and the manufac-
turers of England, Germany and France:
Whether it will be found so delightful
by the American people may be most
gravely doubted. However, the Amer
lean voter, whose will is law, has seen
fit to enter upon another experience in
the way of Democratic tariff making,
and has again assumed that the Demo
cratic party can make tariff without
bringing disaster upon the great in
dustries of the nation. So there doesn't
seem to be anything particular to say
at this stage of the game but to recall
the saying of Benjamin Franklin that
Experience is dear school, but men
will learn in no other"

A Lost Opportunity.

We fear the solons at Madison are
not living up to their full opportunities
in devising ways and means to tax the
people. They are doing we'll, let there
be no mistake about that. The latest
move, to create commission to sell
the farmers crops, thereby enabling
the appointment of research" or
scientific" college boys to be assigned
to a block of farms and tell the farm
ers when, where and how to sell their
crops (the taxpayers footing the bills),
is good The effort to protect bull
frogs and the appointment of game
warden for each frog pond is states
manship riding on the crest of the wave
of highbrow reform and each will add to
the strength of the machine; but these
measures do not lengthen or strengthen
the arm of the tax collector, and right
here is where the law makers have
fallen down. We now have tax on
all property that a person may own, a
tax on thrift, brains and income in the
form of an income tax, and an lnherl-
lance tax that taxes a man for dying.
Now anyone can see at a glance that
these are good and ingenious laws and
each will get the money.
But there is yet one other law that IS
sadly needed to make the system COM
plete, and that is to tax births, then
you have got the tax dodger from the
cradle to the coffin; tax him for being
born, tax him for inheriting the prop
erty left by his parents, tax him for
his own ability to accumulate, and tax
him for dying. The failure of the leg
islature to enact the birth tex idea
into a law may properly be called the
'Lost Treasure darlington Repub-
lican.

Denver Markets

Denver Union Stock Yards, May
24-Receipts of cattle here last week
were liberal and there was a very
good demand. However, the eastern
markets were dull and sharply lower
and this caused some decline here, the
market at the close of the week be
ing anywhere from Is cents to %
cents lower. Today there were
10000 cattle in the yards. the big end
of course southern stockers. but some
23 loads of natives were offered on
sale. Demand was very good, but
eastern declines again caused some
weakness here on some of the palmer
cattle, though good grades were
steady. Steers are selling at $40
to $3.50 and good cows are bringing
s6.35 to $685., with fancy kinds up to
$500 and heifers up to $40. Bulls
sold at $500 to $500 for the good
kinds and veal calves are lower with
$500 to $1,000 taking the best Feed
er and stocker demand is good. The
big end of the supply consists of
southern stockers and under good de-
mand they are moving readily at
about steady prices.
Although prices here are some
lower. the cause is the demoralized
condition of the eastern markets and
local packers are buying literally of
everything offered. Prices paid here
are well in line with eastern points
and shippers will find It to their ad-
vantage to send their cattle here.
The demand for hogs was good all
week and prices continue higher
here than elsewhere. Good hogs sold
today at ss4O to sS.45. all the "a
loads here going at these prices.
Demand is better than supply.
Sheep demand is good, but prices
are weak, owing to eastern declines.
Good ewes sold up to ss.35 for wooled
stuff. with clipped ewes at $500 to
$40 Wethers sold at s6.75 and
lambs sold up to $500. Shipments are
wanted here

Municipal Ownership Success

The little city of Guelph, Ont.
Canada, can boast OF being the first
Canadian municipality to own and
successfully operate all its public
utilities"
These are managed by commissions,
explains the Engineering News. A
small waterworks plant was estab.
lished in 1878, and has since been ex.
tended. Some years ago the city
bought an electric street railway
system built by an individual who had
not been able to make 1t pay. The
city paid $4,000 for the system. in
Guiding the franchise. and has since
extended 1t, so that at present. with
equipment, it represents s135. 900.
1t is stated that the street railway has
paid since the city took it over. The
fare with transfers is 3 cents. The
gas and electric light works were
bought by the city a few years ago
at cost of Sill 900. and have been
extended since then. Gas is sold to
large consumers at so cents per cubic
foot to consumers of medium amounts
at So cents, and to small consumers
at 80 cents. In 1907 the city secured
Falls. It sells electric light and cur
rent at the rate of 6 cents per watt
The city owns the Guelph Junction
railway, fifteen miles in length, and
leases 1t to the Canadian Pacific on a
percentage basis. The city has sew.
erage systems, system of garbage
disposal, eight parks spreading over
100 acres in area and three river-row-
ing courses. In order to make its ad-
now 15,14s inhabitants, has an indus.
trial department.

The actual cost of the thing and the
expense of installing such a system
for the removing of seepage water are
much less than is often expended
where annually a coating of gravel
is spread upon wet place to cover
a defect. OF course the first cost of
\draining places of this kind may be
more than the expense of temporary
relief by means of layer of gravel,
but when the complete and lasting
benefits obtained by carefully remov-
ing the cause through system of
drains are considered, there is abso-
lutely no excuse for failing to resort
to drains for the correcting of the de-
fects in the highways. There are
further and equally valuable benefits
from installing of tile drains for the
removal of seepage water. Alkali
soils have been poisoned by the pres
ence of salts brought to the surface
by seepage water and as the remedy
for alkali soils consists in the Install
ing of tile drains and flooding the land
with the surplus water, the natural
the drainage system before the alkali
appears and thus never allow the al
kali deposit to reach the surface

King Georges Benevolence

The tragic death OF King George
brought cut many other "reminiscences
of this democratic monarch. Another
is centered in photograph. which
shows the king climbing over the
seats of a railroad passenger car in
an endeavor to catch canary bird
fluttering against the roof.
The scene took place in the express
from Paris to Frankfort. An old lady
was travelling In company with her
pet canary; the door OF the cage slip
ped open and the bird escaped. The
king. travelling incognito. was in the
next compartment. Hearing the
clamors OF the old lady. he came in.
and after long chase. succeeded in
capturing the fugitive bird and restor-
ing It to its delighted owner. In the
meantime someone took snapshot OF
his majesty.
The little incident is characteristic
of the unaffected kindliness and cour-
tesy OF the late king.

POINTS OUT A WAY TO
SETTLE A MoOTED QUESTION

One of the most significant out
water users under reclamation pro-
jects with Secretary of the Interior
Lane, it seems to us, was the sugges
tion on the part of Mr.. Lane at the
suits might be brought to determine
whether settlers upon reclamation
projects should be required to pay
the actual cost of construction or
merely the estimated cost
Another suggestion offered by Mr..
Lane came in the form of a recon-
mendation that the government fix
the maximum price at which private
lands irrigated by the government
could be sold.
Just what was the purpose of such
a recommendation is not known un-
less it was to prevent the sale of land
under the reclamation projects for
more than they are worth.
These suggestions were the result
of criticism of the governments rec
lamation policy, particularly from the
settlers on the Salt river project in
Arizona. Rival organizations from
the Arizona project faced one another
at the meeting Saturday presenting
conflicting claims, mingled with crit
icism of the reclamation service
Representatives of the farmers pro-
tective association charged that the
water users association was domin-
ated by spectators.
Representative Hensley of Mis-
souri, chairman of the house COM
mittee which visited the project and
made an investigation, urged the sec
retary to consider his report to con-
gress and give the settlers relief.
Senator Warren appealed to the Sec
North Platte project; Senator New
lands asked for a larger appropria-
tion for Nevada, and Senator Lane
made a similar request for Oregon.
Secretary Lane responded by saying
he appreciated the justice of the re-
quest, but had doubt about the west
Umatilla lands for instance, being
able to stand cost of $125 to s135
an acre for water.
The senator assured him that be-
cause of the favorable location, the
fertility of the soil and the climate,
such cost would be met.
I'D rather be broke on the plains
of eastern oregon than be a million
aire in Nevada" Senator Lane said
bowling to Senator Newlands.-Mont-

CALIFORNIA; SIGNATURE

With an appearance of deliberation
Governor Johnson of California signs
the alien land bill, amended to har-
monize with our treaty obligations.
by so doing he expects to gain favor
with his fellow demagogues for an
affront to Japan, but the incivility is
not to Japan: 1t is to the govern
ment of the United States.
With states, as with individuals,
those that are inconsiderate Of or
false to their own households are
likely, sooner or later, to regret their
folly.
The whole Japanese question will
appear again presently under the
treaty making powers in court
made up of forty-eight states as judg-
es, where California, with all her bad
manners, will count only one.-New
