The assessment Of mortgages and

An instructor in the State College
urges South Dakota farmers not to
abandon wheat raising, but to raise
more wheat. The instructors idea,
no doubt, is that farmers of this state,
or of any other state for that matter,
should not devote all their attention to
raising corn or potatoes or alfalfa or
wheat or any other one CROP, but that
by proper rotation. proper attention to
the preservation Of the fertility of the
soil, It will be possible for them to
raise bigger crops Of all varieties Of
farm products than they have been
able TO raise hitherto by devoting their
energies to the production Of any n
particular crop rear in and year out

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

Brookings Register Bureau, Washington, ID C
(By j. F., Jones)
Judge Prouty Of Iowa, has proven
himself a real live wire on the commit
tee of the District of Columbia. He
wants the District to pay up what II
owes to the government, and the story
cannot be better told than in the fol
lowing extract of a report made BY
the Des Moines man to the house OF
representatives: THE United States
and the District of Columbia are part.
ners, but Uncle Sam seems to have
been away from home on most of the
stealing days and had no representa-.
tive present" says Judge Prouty. "The
committee on the District of Columbia
has had an expert check over the
account and he finds that there is
1903, 257.24 due Uncle Sam. These
figures are corroborated by an expert
from the Treasury Department, and
the District committee unanimously
found that the amount is due"
1t is not necessary to agree with
Senator Burton Of Ohio, in the follow
ing assertion-yet in it he states clear
ly the differences that exist in the
viewpoints Of opposing parties in con-
gress and the country in reference to
the tariff. The senator says: For
years the delusion has rested upon
many people-for it is no less-that
the present high cost of living is due
to protective tariffs. Assuming that
this Is true, some in ignorance and
some by shrewd design have played
upon the feelings of the people. The
time is coming when this specious
argument will fail. The most ele
mentary examination of the subject
disproves the idea that high prices
are due to tariffs. This phenomenon
OF high prices is worldwide. 1t is in
evidence in every country Of advanced
civilization, and it manifests itself in
a degree approximate to the progress
that the various peoples have made.
In u W country the most notable
increases have been in commodities
OF which we have a considerable sur

Several weeks out OF nearly five

to gaining an elementary KNOWLEDGE
of the new stroke. according to the

cause Of the limitations set upon the
