More Windmill Irritation.

The state board of irrigation wants
to try out its theory of windmill irri-
cation in Ford County. F. A. Hines

feeling out the sentiment of the farm
ers toward having the county give
forty acres of la9d to the state for an

dividual pumping plants as possible.
Mr.. Hines met with encouragement in
his efforts to have state irrigation
plant established in this county. He
says Lane, Wichita and Wallace coun-

advantage of the offer of the state to
install plants. In these counties bids

and income taXeS-Old law, SSI, DOC, 600;
new law, $122, 900, 900.
Altogether, consumers in the United
States probably will receive from
abroad, free of all tariff, more than
| 81, 000, 900. 900 worth of merchandise
during the next year. During 1912 the
| amount of free imports" was more
| than $3.50, 000, 900, and when the tariff
| is entirely removed from wool, sugar,
iron ore and cheap iron and other inn
portant items, the total is expected to
increase notably. Under the old law
more than SO per cent of all goods
brought to the United States from all
parts of the world paid no tariff, and
| that proportion will be increased by
the new law.
Changes In the Future.
The free wool provision of the new
law takes effect December l. 1913;
i the free sugar provision May 1. 1915.
The new tariff law. passed four
years after President Taft signed the
existing Payne-Aldrieh law, is the re-
suit of more than nine months of
work in Congress. Hearings were
started January 6 by the House ways
and means committee. Chairman I'm
derwood introduced the tariff bill
| April I, Immediately after President
Wilson had convened the new Con-
gress. 1t passed the House May s
and the Senate September 8.
The Important Features.
In the opinion of its makers, the
Democratic leaders of Congress, the
most important features of the new
tariff are:
"A reduction of nearly one-half in
the average tariff on foodstuffs and
farm products.
"a. 81 4lN fVssao
list, and a reduction of nearly two
thirds in the tariff on wooden cloth
ing, especially of the cheaper grades.
A reduction of third (average)
on cotton clothing.
Reduction of the sugar tariff and
its ultimate adjustment in 1916.
reduction of one-third (average)
in the tariff on esrthenware and
glassware.
Adjustment of all tariff on meats,
fish, dairy products. flour, potatoes,
coal. iron ore, lumber and many class
es of farm and office machinery.
General tariff reduction on all I'M
portant articles in general use.
The Republican Opposition.
Throughout the long fight over the
bill the Republican attack on the
measure has been directed against
those rates which the Republicans de-
clared were so low as 10 threaten ue-
struction to American industries,
through the competition of foreign
manufacturers. The Democratic sup
porters of the new law have insisted
that except in those cases where pub
lice welfare demanded radical changes
the tariff has been reduced only to
point where 1t will stimulate COM
petition without turning American
markets over to foreigners.
A great amount of work will fall
upon the Treasury Department. ii is
expected, in working out the details
of the new income tax and the meth
DDS of collecting the direct taxes from
individual citizens of the United
States. The tax upon corporations,
now fixed at per cent. of their In
come, remains the same, and becomes
part of the general income tax law.
A staff of special deputies, collectors
and agents will be employed TO or
ganize and conduct the work of in
come tax COLLECTION.
