Senator Borah On The Tariff

Washington, d. c. August 31,-ln
his speech before the Senate last
week Senator Borah discussed the
AGRICULTURAL interests of the country
and the necessity Of building up
our agricultural enterprises, He dis
cussed the subject not only from the
standpoint Of the tariff and az to IT'D
effects upon the business enterprises
OF the country but also as to Its gov
ernmental effect and as to the build
ing up Of our citizenship. He said
In part:
'Mr. President, almost every civil
lied nation has experimental at
some time or other with the building
up Of its purely commercial interests
at the expense or through the neglect
Of it's agricultural interests. Every
nation which has done so has suffered
its social and economic conditions

advantage In such contest. They

organization, they have not the ac-
cess to the instrumentalities through
which public opinion may be formed

numbers are concerned inadequate

The New Time last week In re-
ply to our criticism Of the careless
manner which that paper Is doing
the county printing, says that
II we will take file OF the New
Time and reckon at regular legal
rate for the past six issues the
amount of printing carried for the
county we will find that 1t totals
$347.O0 at that regular legal rate
for which the county will pay approx
mately $3.50. Now 1t matters not In
the least to the taxpayers what the
legal rate will amount to. The New
Time took the contract at $500. pei
year and has given bonds for the
faithful performance of that contract
and II the New Time fails to faith
fully carry out the contract, the
bonds will be forfeited. That's cas-,
figuring.

wonderful strides this little territory

Imports Wait for New Tariff

New York, Sept. 3O.-A practical
demonstration of one section of the
new tariff law will be given almost
as soon as it is signed by President
Wilson. Huge quantities of foreign
made merchandise, already imported,
will be thrown on the market at large
centers throughout the country.
For the last two months importers
have ben storing goods in bonded
warehouses to be held there until they
may be admitted under the lower
rates to be provided in the new law.
Figures compiled by the Journal Of
Commerce show that goods in bond in
New York alone on August 81 were
valued at $67 1901 900, and since that
time the total has increased largely.
While it was said that in some
cases decided changes would be made
in wholesale prices, no estimates were
obtainable as to the probable effect
on retail prices.

distributed and the receipts were to
go into the public treasury. But with
such an extravagant system of collec-
ton and such an army of petty Off
Gals to maintain, so little of the bulk
of the tax will reach the treasury that
the whole system is largely farcical.
There is only N theory that Of
fers a legitimate excuse for the in
come tax and that is for all benefi-
Charles of the government irrespective
of the size of their incomes to con-
tribute to it. This would eliminate
the ~iniquity Of class taxation. 1t would
eliminate a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
class. 1t would make every citizen
equal before the law and before the
state so that every man who enjoyed
the protection of government, the op-
portunities under it and claimed a
share in it's administration would be
on an equal footing both in receiving
the benefits and contributing to the
support of Observation-Disclosures City

Will Test Presidents Order

Denver. Sept. 30.-The United
States court of appeals for the eighth
district will ask the United States
supreme court for a ruling on the
question Of the right of a president
of the United States to withdraw pub
lie lands from entry. This announce
ment was made today by Presiding
Judge William c. Hook.
This request is made in the Mid.
west Oil company case before the
court of appeals for argument at the
present session. 1t involves the own
ership Of oil lands in Wyoming.
In making his announcement, Judge
Hook stated that the court had deter
mined on this course because Of the
important issue involved" Upon the
determination Of a presidents right
to withdraw public lands is said to
hinge the ownership of extensive
tracts of oil lands in Wyoming. The
outcome of the present case is ex-
pected also to have an important
bearing on litigation involving public
lands In other states.

Consider Currency Legislation

Washington, Sept. 30.-Currency
legislation doomed today as a para.
mount issue on the senate side of the
capitol. After Chairman Owen and
Senator Shafroth Of the committee
had discussed the situation with the
president, they conferred with other
members of the committee. None of
the democratic members Of the COM
mittee would venture a prophecy as
to the course of the bill, but Senator
Bristow of Kansas declared that he
believed there was little chance Of
currency legislation at this session of
congress.
81 presume that some sort Of a
bill will be reported In some way, in
a month or So" said Senator Bristow.
There will be several minority re-
ports. Whether the president will be
able to get the democrats on the COM
mittee together which includes Sen
ators Reed, O'Gorman and Hitchcock,
I cannot say, but that hardly seems
likely unless the bill is radically
changed. There is not likely to be
any currency bill passed by the SEN
ate at this session.

WILL TAX LARGE INCOMES

According to the estimates made
by democratic statisticians, the new
income tax will bring about $685.
900 into the federal treasury annual
ly. This will be contributed by 425,.
900 persons, or about 4 per cent of all
the people living in this country.
While the $82.29S. 900 seems to be a
very substantial contribution to the
expenses of government. it is in real.
ity a mere transfer of taxes from the
general public to a class. No esti-
mate is given of the cost of enforcing
this new tax. But already the gov.
eminent is preparing to send an army
of collectors into the field at good sal
aries to g that prosperous Ameri-
cans divide their earnings.
AS the tax is a graduated one the
425,000 people who will be affected
by it will not all pay the same rate.
In fact, most of the tai will be paid
by q small number Of persons. 1t is
probable that 2 per cent of the popu.
will pay Is percent Of it. The
hardship would not be so great If the
taxation were justly and equitably

Elevator Law 10 Valid

cording to an opinion furnished the
state railroad board today by Attorney
General Miller.
Under the provisions Of the law.
which was enacted by the last legis.
lature, the attorney general is empow-
cred to revoke the permit of the firm
or corporation violating its provisions.
Numerous complaints of alleged dis.
elimination made by elevators have
been heard from farmers by the COM

ton probably will be made by the at

Fires Due to Caretessness

The greater part of the annual fire
waste in the United States amounting
to nearly $3.50, 000, 900 a year, is due
to carelessness. Much of this is per-
sonal, for which property owners are
directly responsible, and much is mu-
nicipal, through the toleartion by the
authorities of dangerously inflamma-
BILE construction, laxity in the enforce.
ment of building ordinances and the
regulation of explosives and inflam-
ables, failure to insist upon rubbish
being cleaned up, etc. The average
citizen should have impressed upon
him his personal responsibility for his
share of the preventable fire waste of
the country, which is draining the
national wealth. Every mar can at
least see that paper, old boxes and
rubbish are not allowed to accumu-
late in dangerous places or out-of-the
way corners, and "a Keep an eye on

II o MYTH

Much has been written and said
about the marvellous effects of ozone.
All the benefits of life on the noun
tains, in the forests and on the sea
have been credited to the "ozone in
the air" The same popular fiction
has been used in advertising summer
resorts and sanitoriums. Various
chemical devices have been manufac-
tured and offered to the public to
make the air of the bedchamber or
the sick-room exactly like that of the
pine woods" All of which would be
delightful If it were only true. For
alas, like many other popular delu-
sions, the zon myth has been SUBJ
jected to the cold and analytical eye
of the scientist.
Professors Jordan and Carlson of
the University of Chicago have car
ried on an extensive series Of obser-
vations and experiments to determine
the exact effect and value of ozone.
The results of their work appear in
a recent issue of The Journal of
the American Medical Association.
The conclusions reached by the men
of science Is that the hygienic value
of ozone would be hardly worth con-
sidering were it not for the persistent
and extravagant claims made by the
manufacturers and promoters of
ozone generators. So far as the de-
these claims have little or no founda-
struction of germs is concerned.
ton. Some bacteria are undoubted-
ly killed by under certain con
ditions, but this fact IS of little I'M.
portance in practical use. Expert
ments carried on show that human
beings are injuriously affected by an
amount of ozone far less than is nec-
essary to kill the germs.
Ozone does not make pure air.
any more than strong spices make
pure food. If used in a highly con.
centrated form, ozone has an injuri.

ACCEPT TARIFF REPORT
Underwood Measure Receives Support
BY Democratic Majority

Underwood Measure Receives support
BY Democratic Majority
Washington, Sept. 3O.--The demo-
craft; tariff revision b..l left the house
tonight on what the party leaders,
hoped would be its last journey to the
senate. After MANY II ,lrs of debate,
the house adopted the main confer.
ence agreement on the bill, 245 to
1O3, almost a strict party vote. and
by this action gave it's approval to ev-
erytling in the except the
cotton futures tax.
"The rates of the tariff bill as it
comes back to the house for approval
propose a lower taxation than any
tariff bill in the last three.quartcrs
of II century," said Representative
Oscar w. Underwood, democratic
leader of the house in the opening
speech today in support of the con
ference report of the tariff bill.
THE bill as it is now before the
house is lower in its rates than either
the bill that passed the house or the
bill that passed the senate, for the
house conferees accepted all but
three or four of the reductions made
by the senate, while the senate reced.
ed from over one-half of its increases.
"This tariff bill, with its 26 per
cent average, is almost as low as the
famous Walker tariff, which had low
duties on liquor and tobacco. Besides
its great reductions on articles of
general use. this bill places many of
the necessities of life on the free list
or gives them very low rates on tar
iff."
Mr.. Underwood was greeted with
prolonged applause from the demo-
Gratis when he concluded. He was
followed by Representative Payne,
the republican author of the existing
tariff law and leader of the republi-
can conferees on the Underwood-Sim-
mons bill. Mr.. Payne declared the
democrats had Over-estimated the rev.
nue that would be secured under the
new bill.
"You have prepared your guesses
on the basis that present prosperity
will continue" said Mr.. Payne, "but
you are all trembling now for fear it
will not"
Mr.. Payne said American commerce
and industry had developed greatly
under the republican tariff and would
suffer a DISASTROUS setback under the
new democratic law.

partment Of agriculture charged with
