along with other historic pieces of
legislation, The new law brings into
effect one of the most far-reachng
rcvisions of tariff rates and revenue laws
enacted for many years
CHIEF FEATURES or NEW LAW.
\ now income tax, applying directly
to the incomes of citizens; the abolition
of all tariff on scores of items of
immense Importance to American in
dustrY and American consumers and a
heavy reduction of tar~ rates ON most
Of the articles in ". 1l use in this
country are it's chief .sr.-
While certain portions Of the new
law do not take effect at once, most
cf it's provisions and almost all the
direct tariff reductions do
At every port collectors of customs,
appraisers of merchandise and hun
dreds Of other employees of the treas
ury department will plunge at once
into the task of collecting the nations
revenue on Il new basis, and with
hundreds of new classitications and
new provisions of law 10 complicatc
their activities.
The federal government has been
spending nearly a billion dollars a
year and the new tariff law will raise
less than third of that sum. Re
cent estimates by tariff experts in
Congress predict that the rates will
raise $4,000 600 a year; and that the
income and corporation taxes will
raise $l22, 100000, The remainder of
the governments great income is
made up principally of internal rcvc-
nue. taxes and postal receipts
The income tax probably will ui!u@ the
new tariff law most forcihly to &, attcn-
ton of citizens. President Wilson and
democratic leaders in Congress believe
however. that the reduction of duties on
clothing, roodstuffs ana other neceSsaries
of life and the complete removal of the
duty from many like articles, will event
ually bring reduction in the cost of
living" without materially affecting husi-
ness prosperity.

Union Iron Worker COnfesses
Outrages That Rival Exploits
of the McNamaras.
CAUSES ARREST OF OFFICIAL
Government Detectives Complete
Two Years Hunt--Fresh
Charges against Con-
victed Men.

New York, oct. 2.-Dynamitc outraEes
that rivallcd the exploits of the Nc
Namara brothers and of Ortic McMan-
gal were confessed to-day by George H.
Davis, a union iron worker. Davis, VINO
was arrested here to-day, was the George
O'Donnell who figured in the trial at
Indianapolis that resulted in the convic-
ton of Frank NJ. Ryan, president of the
international Association Of Bridge and
structural Iron Workers. and 81 of his
associates His arrest and it's consc-
Qucnces round up the work the federal
government started more than two years
ago when the dynamting of bridges and
steel frame buildings all over the coun-
try became a national scandal
All the explosions that Davis says he
caused were touched ON and testified to
at the dynamitcrs' trial in Indianapolis,
but the fact that Davis caused them
remained unrevealed until he himself
told Of it to-day.
Davis's confession resulted to-day in
the arrest in indianapolis of Harry Jones,
scCrctar -trca surcr Of the Iron Workers
union. His confession supplements the
evidence presented at the indianapolis
trial and makes fresh charges against
some of the men there convicted and now
in prison. Some of his revelations con-

SYSTEM FORM or SLAVERY.

fresh in mind:
SYSTEM FORM or SLAVERY.
First-The prison system IS form
of slavery. The great truths onunci-
ate1 by Lincoln and others against
slavery are equally applicable to pris-
on slavery. 1t takes from tho convict
his own initiative and freedom of ac-
tion and he becomes an Irresponsible
attenuation, unable to guide his own
destiny when he returns to the outside
world
AS one instance of the uninteligence
of the system there is the attempt to
drive prisoners from the normal uses of
their senses of sight and speech. After
seven days Of marching and counter
marching, | am utterly unable to tell
You about the appearance Of the men of
my immediate circle and can only de-
scribe the hair cuts Of about ~ men who
marched and sat i'm front of me. When
ever my loft hand ncighbor Il fine look
ing and agreeable young fellow with
whom ! became well acquainted, as he
was "trusty' on my gallery, wished to
share his portion of sugar for porridGe,
he would simply pass it over to me and
utter sugar in the softcst undertone.
In fact To learn To- speak without NOV
ing the lipS and to catch the sounds of
words 50 uttered is ono of the first things
a new convict tries to acquire
Another unintelligout aspect is the way
the system Inevitably tends toward maxi
ing punishment for small offouses the
same as for great offeuses. There is no
difference for instance between the Of

SAYS HE WOULDN'T MURDER.

Davis SAYS he was the man chosen to
kill Walter Drew attorney for the Ma
tional Ercctors' association in Dcoemn"",
1911, after Drew was charged with sid
mapping John j. Mcnamara. 1t wa sug-
gcsted also that he try to got William
J. Burns. the detective employed by Drew
and his associates to unearth the dyna-
mite conspiracy. The price on Drcw's
head at that time, Davis said was 5000
II told them" his confession continues,
that | didn't want 10 mix up in such
business"
Davis consented to return to Indianap-
oils without cxtradition. His bail was
fixed at $1,000
The conspiracy thought to have been
broken up by the conviction of Ryan
and others still exists. according to
Davis's confession. With the exception
in connection with hts various dynamite
Jobs already had been arrested, although
his confession indicated that the govern
mcut had not obtained all the incriminat-
ing evidence against these defendants
when they were tried at indianapolis.
Apprehension of this Mechanical of the
east was due to Robert Foster, a Louis
vile detective, who Swallowed the iron
worker through eastern cities Finally,
several weeks ago when Davis was dis
pleased with his treatment by the union
Foster persuaded him to make fun con-
fesSiOn.

RELIGION TO GRAIN

RELIGION TO GRAIN
Des Moines Register & Leader
On the theory that the church
must go to the people if it would
have the people come to church
the Presbyterian church Of Cal
ifornia Junbtion, under the di-
rection of DR.. G. H Purmort
Iowa Synodical Superintent OF
Home Missions, has a Farmers.
Short Course and Rural Life
Conference for Feb. 2-5, 1918
Professors of the Extension
Department of the Iowa State
College will assist.
The program includes e"ery
the discussion of Sunday School
Problems to Demonstrations in
Live Stock and Grains.
The purpose of the rural schoo..
short course is to establish a
better understanding and clos
er relation between country lite !
ditions and the church.
Since old time sociability has
almost vanished from tarm life,
country attractions land church
relations have suffered. Since
land owners have moved totoWn
and short term renters occupy
the farms, the country schools
aud churches have deteriated.
The YOUNG LECvING FARM
Since our popular amusements
have been commercialized and
in so many cases debauched. our
young people are enticed from
rural sports aud are leaving
the farms.
Since city life has become so
popular and dominant, even the
ministers of the gospel are de
coyed from the plain country
life andmany are refusing rur Il
pastorates. Something must be
done to stem the tide and to i'm
prove both the social and the
religious influence in the coun-
try where r-ore than half of,our
Iowa people live.
The church must study this
problem. 1t must interest itself
in country conditions and adopt
methods to reach these people
through the country life COM
mission. Ministers must be ed
ucated and prepared for this
special work. Farmers, owners
as we'll as renters, need scientif-
ic education and lion
of stock and grain deve o p e.
ment. Farmers wives neen the
very interesting and beneficial
knowledge and inspiration OF
modern hone economics
The young people in our farm
homes crave sociabllity and a.

SENATORS DENY
LOBBY CHARGE
Agree No Offers We're Made
Regarding Tariff Bill
TESTIFY AT INVESTIGATION
Little Trace is Found of Sugar Lobby
Senators of All Parties Declare
They Know Of No Use Of Money
Interest in Trade Schedules.

Washington. Senate investigas
ton into the lobby against the tariff
bill, which President Wilson charac-
terized as numerous, industrious and
insidious." got under way, but without
yielding any consrmatory results.
Senators of all shades OF political
opinion We're examined, but not one
OF them testified to having been sub
jected to improper or Legitimate
pressure on the part Of lobby on
this point, regardless Of party affilia-
tions, all the Senators were Ia agree
ment Not one had been approached
or offered a bribe, not one had been
threatened with political extinction
and to none of them had the sugges-
ton been made of political preferment
for favorable action or political re-
prisal for unfayorable votes upon the
tariff schedules.
When President Wilson gave out
his statement charging that lobby
was operating against the Underwood
bill, he made 1t plain that he did not
charge the existence of corruption,
but merely the Misrepresentation OF
facts through a persistent campaign
and a reckless expenditure of money.
Little support was found ever for
this limited condemnation by the
President in the testimony given by
some of the Democratic Senators.
The Presidents close friends in the
Senate contended. however, that am
pie evidence will eventually be brought
out to justify everything that Mr.. vii
son has said. 1t is understood that
the most interesting evidence to be
submitted will be the disclosure of
the names of a large number of for
mer members of Congress who have
been active in soliciting changes in
the Underwood bill
In accordance with the terms OF
the resolution directing the inquiry
all the Senators who appeared were
questioned in regard to their own per-
sonal property holdings or profession
al activities which might be affected
by the tariff bill.
