EFFECT OF TARIFF
ON FARM PRICES
Free.Trade in Corn Has Lowered
the Price Ten Cents a Bushel in
Spite Of a Short Crop.

Capital extension will cost the av-
erage Iowa farmer about cent per
acre on his taxes. The Democratic
Tariff measure costs him more than
81 per acre.
This is the way u. ID. Brown. pub
Usher OF the Shelby County Repub-
lican at Harlan, sums up the matter
nj an article in his paper. In order to
treat the matter fairly, Mr.. Brown Sc
lects farm in zach of the sixteen
townships in Shelly County. He gives
the number OF acres in each farm,
and the amount the owner will con-
tribute toward the Capitol extension
tax fund. For instance, Charles Esche
of Jefferson township, has a farm OF
719 acres. His Capitol extension tax
is sos. On the other hand, MIR.

us not for this year only, or Tor ten
years. but for every year to come un-
til the Tariff is restored"
In making up his figures Editor
Brown gives the actual valuation of
the land at $3.50 per acre. He attri-
butes a portion of the increased tax
alton to the increase of 30 to 100 per
cent in the valuation of the Iowa
farms as a result of a suit brought
by the Iowa League Of Municipalities.
which showd that the farms OF
Iowa were not being taxed invalua-
ton i'm proportion to town property.
The present valuation of market pro-
ducts, according to the figures, how
ever. tells the tale OF the real loss to
the farmer. Corn, he says, is 20
cents per bushell lower, and all other
farm products in proportion. This con-
dition results from the cheaper pro-
ducts of other countries being thrown
into competition with those OF the
Iowa farmer.
The article concludes by placing the
matter before the farmer in strict
political sense. 1t says: 1T is up to
him to determine whether it will be
the gang which taxed him less than l
cent per acre to build a park at the
Capi."I grounds in Des Moines, or
he will go after the gang which re-
duced his income 81 per acre by
breaking down Tariff walls and per-
hitting the farmers of the world to
dump their products onto his market

The Democratic party, through its

why should the pasture outlook in
Lyon and Wabaunsee counties look
particularly rosy? Moreover. with feed

No industrial commissions were
called upon to investigate bad bust

Tariff law passed on the preceding

During the present session OF the
Kentucky Legislature efforts have
been made to put into law a provi-
sion prcviding for the teaching OF
Agriculture in the County High
Schools, but SO far nothing has been
accomplished. There is nation
wide excitement and discussion over
the question OF how 10 prevent the
boys from leaving the farms to 20
to the cities. How could we expect
anything else when We are urged 10
educate the boys and when they are
sent away to school all the courses
of study leSd them irresistably into
every other vocation of life than that
of Agriculture. If the science of Ag-
riculture, Pnd it Is a science, had
been given the same prominence in
the courses of study in our State col
leGes and high schools as has been
given to teaching law. medicine and
other professions. in our humble OPP
injon there would be a different
stolty to tell at the present time.
When it becomes apparent that it re-
luires equally as good education to
make farmer as it does to fill any
other vocation in life, not only that
but in addition to a good education
he should have special training, our
farms will be made SO attractive
that it will be no LONGER a burning
question how to keep the boys on the
farms and away from the cities.
