some of the German states.
Two extremes of organization are
found, the highly centralized and the
decentralized. England furnishes an
example of the former, with a chief
inspector, division inspectors, district
inspectors, and thel over grades of
inspectors. In England is also found
much specialization of. inspectors, etc.
In the inspection departments of Prus-
STA and Switzerland which are ex-
amples of the decentralized type,
there are no chief inspectors, each
district inspector having the whole
field of industrial inspection under his
jurisdiction. Austria has central in.
dustrial inspector, but his supervision
does not extend as far as that of the
chief inspector in England. In France
there is practically no head to the
inspection department, the division IN
spectors being charged with much OF
the inspectorial work.
Little progress in scientific standard
ization of safety and sanitation has
Fbeen made in Europe, and labor laws
in many instances fail to give exact
standards for the guidance of inspec-
tors and for the use of manufacturers
and employees Inspection to detect
citations of law is still the method
used by most inspectors and most
European inspection departments are
far behind the more progressive, de-
( partments in the United States in the
matter of keepin grecords OF inspec

labor laws without provisions for en-
forcement are practically futile as pro-
tective measures, emphasis must also
be placed upon the Importance of eff
cheney in the administrative machin-
cry, its scope and functions, its meth
DDS of work, the character of it's per-
sonnet, aad the provision of definite
standards as to safety and sanitation.
In only one of these phases of admin
istrative work was marked superior
ity found in the countries visited as
compared with the United States.
This was in the training and charac-
ter of the inspectorial force. In
tor can be secured only after long
technical training and severe tests.
The. occupation is classed as pro-
fession ranking with law, medicine
and engineering. Tenure of Office is
secure and pensions are given for
long service and old age. Men who
seek these positions are of exception
al character and attainments and
their work is correspondence efficient.
In France and Belgium the whole
work of labor-law enforcement is cen
i tered in the labor inspection depart
ments, tSt in England the local au-
thorities have jurisdiction over the
enforcement of all sanitary provi-
sions in workshops. In Germany the
factory laws are administered by the
industrial inspectors, inspectors OF in
surance associations and police au-
thorities, and in Austria by the in
dustrial inspectors and the local in
dustrial authorities. In Switzerland
there is division of Jurisdiction be
tween the Federal factory inspectors
and the cantonal inspectors, while
the enforcement IF the laws is en-.
tirely in the hands of the local police

other indirect tax, since direct taxes
are now constitutional.
Moreover there is no need to meet
the deficit through any kind of tax on
industry or its products. The taxes
of this kind that we already have,
have helped considerably to check
business, create unemployment and
boost the cost of living. We surely
want no more. of such evils.
A sensible and reasonable sugges-
ton to meet the situation has been
offered in bill by Congressman War
rem Worth Bailey of Pennsylvania
Mr. Bailey proposes tax on land
values. In order to meet all bubbles
concerning constitutionality, the Hill
provides for an apportionment of the
tax among the States in proportion
to population. If adopted this tax will
not fall on industry. On the contrary
it will stimulate production of wealth
and increase demand for labor, since
it will force into use such valuable
land now held out of use by specula-
tors.

tax is the only suggestion to meet

through the employment Of their "gra-
duates" are discussed in a series OF
papers issued by The National Asso-
ciatio nfor the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis in its official organ,
The Journal of the Outdoor Life.
The papers by DR.. Charles F. Boil
duan. of them Tew York City Health
Department, DR.. Sidney F. Goldstein,
OF the Free Synagogue, New York, and
DR.. David r. Lyman, Of the Gaylord
Farm Sanatorium of Wall1ngford,
Connecticut, show that many tubercu-
losis sanatoria waste their efforts be-
cause they do not care for their pat
tents PROPERLY after discharge. Dr..
Goldstein found that in one sanator-
ium in New York, 81 per cent OF the
work done was literally wasted. Dr.
Bolduan's and DR.. Lyman's results
showed some waste, but not nearly so
large pecentage. The reason Tor
these relapses is found both In the
unsanitary home conditions to which
he patient returns, and also in the
industrial conditions under which he Is
forced to work. !.
DR.. Lyman says that the geratest
present need In SanatOr1um LreaCmenC
is early diagnosis, and that such early
cases can usually return with safety
and success to their former occupa-
lions after discharge from the sana-
torium. For certain groups Of city
patients, DR.. Bolduan and DR.. Gold
stein favor working places where they
can work at their trades under med1-
cal supervision and sanitary condi-
lions.
Experiments of this character are
now being considered in several cities.

the deficit, which, If adopted, will help
to lower, instead Of increase the cost
of living. The withholding of large
tracts of land has interfered with
cattle raising to such an extent that
the supply Of cattle has diminished
and enabled the Beef Trust to boost
the price of meat. This fact has been
recognized by the ational Retail Meat
Dealers association, which in a recent
convention at Chicago, asked federal
aid to opn these lands once more for
cattle raising. Such tax, as Con
gresham Bailey proposes, on the
value of these lands will do much to-
ward opening thel ands to cattle
raisers.
That is but one instance of many
that may be cited Of the superiority
of Bailey's bill. Congress will fail in
it's duty if it should reject so bene-
fetal a measure and adopt instead
some kind of tax that will intensity
existing evils.

Recognition of the fact that the ad-

system of detecting violations of law
Is becoming more and more apparent
in efforts for the protection of the

definite rules and standards for the
safety and health of workers, higher
specialization of the functions OF in

The three young men referred to

three is expected to be the very how-

This is a most interesting expert

GAVE SCANT WAR NEWS
The Part Iowa Territory Took In the
Early War Between Mex,
leo and the Unired
States.

The thoughtful kindness of a friend
of The Gate City has inspired to
bring TO the Office a venerable copy
Of an old keokuk Argus, beneath
which heading is added And Lee
County Advertiser" bearing date
"Keokuk, Iowa Territory, Saturday,
June 81, 1876; and be it remember
ed that at that very time the United
States was in war with Mexico. The
flag had bsen insulted and American
blood had been shed, evidences to the
men OF those days that an actual
state of war existed and they were
quick to act on that state Of facts.
It was fact and not theory or an
academic triviality that confronted
tn I'm.
The old paper, one Of the first print
ed in the new western land, then a
territory and now the proud state of
Iowa. and the first newspaper venture
in Keokuk, made very little noise
over the event. 1t gave such news
Of the war as came to hand without
flourish or bluff. 1t issued the
first number in January, 1S46, demo-
cratic in politics. and was edited by
Col William Pattee, afterwards audi
tor of state. The paper lived only a
short time. But the old copy comes
to light at an interesting period when
the country again Is aroused over an
| other trouble with Mexico and brings
hack dim recollections of those times.
Iowa did her duty then, promptly
and with Characteristic courage.
Wherever duty called Iowa sons gave
prompt response. In the spring OF
| 1S46-sixty-eight years ago, President
/ Polk issued his proclamation calling
| for $4,000 volunteers. Iowa was re-
quested to furnish a regiment. Twelve
companies were raised, but were
never organized into resim snt. The
men enlisted were anxious to go to
the seat of war, but so many had
been accepted from the various states
that the secretary OF war, on the Goth
Of November, 1916, notified Governor
| Clarke that the Iowa regiment would
not be NEEDED. In the meantime, how
ever, Capt. Edwin Guthrie Of Fort
Madison and Frank D. Mills OF Bur
lirgton, had rails I'd an Independent
Tcompany of one hundred men, which
was accepted and became Company
K of the Fifteenth United States in
fantry. The company had enlisted for
one year, entering the service in July,
| 1S47. and in General SCOTS invasion
marched to the city Of Mexico, after
fighting several battles, in which this
Iowa company took part, Mills was
commissioned major OF the Fifteenth
regiment and was a most gallant Off
Ger. On August 20 he was slain after
the battle of Cherubuseo, while lead
