Of all callings and Glasses. Because OF
this demand appointed commission

Of the states resources.
After holding some meetings and
canvsssing the situstton thoroughly.
the commission has reached the con.
clusion that such representation is de-
sirable and feasible, and that with the
cooperation Of our citizens, approxi.
mately afty thousand dollars can bs
readily raised to finance such repre-
sentation.
Az means Of providing part Of this
fund, the commission has provided
certain beautiful and attractive souve.

sioners, In an interview today, declared
that the "taxation" issue raised by
Dick Richards is the one most favor
able to the present state administra.
tion, because South Dakota has the
best record Of any state for low state
taxes. South Dakotans pay less state
taxes than the people Of any other
state In the union that has tax lew
at all. A few states, such as New Jer
sey. whore the big national corpora
tions have their homo, derive enough
revenue therefrom to run the state.
There are eight states that assess
property ct full value, as is done in
South Dakota BY requirement OF the
state constitution. Here is the list
and the amount Of state taxes paid in
each for every $1,000 Of valuation:

Washington Whisperings.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. August "a, 1914.
AS might have been expected, work on
many important waterway projects IS
being suspended, the men employed lad
off and in some cases machinery is already
showing signs of rust and disintegratlon
because of the failure of Congress to
pass the pending river and harbor Dill.
When the estimates of the Engineer
Corps were submitted to the Committee
On Rivers and Harbors of the House
early in the present session, (all money
bills having to originate in that body
under the Constitution they were based
on the assumption that there would be
river and harbor act each year. the act
passed during the long session to become
a law not later than June Both, and that
passed during the short session to become
a law not later than March 1st.
Now that Congress has seen fit to put
off the passage of the annual river and
harbor bill, at least up to the present,
there is nothing left to the Engineer
Corps in charge of the several works on
rivers and harbors but to suspend opera
lions where there is no money available
to continue such operations, disrupt the
forces and lay up the machinery, which,
according to expert testimony, is much
more costly than when said machinery is
in operation.
Should Congress adjourn without pass
ing river and harbor bill, it would serl-
ously handicap at least one-third OF the
projects carried in the bill and in many
cases work would have to come to COM
plete standstill, thereby entailing posi-
tive loss of time and serious interior
ence tonavigation, which works decided
hardship to both shippers and consumers.
Twenty millions of dollars in National
bank notes every twenty-four hours is
the record of the production of the Bu-
reau of Printing and Engraving, the
currency thus issued being authorized by
the Aldrich- Vreeland bill, which permits
the Secretary of the ! Treasury, in an
emergency, to accept State, municipal
and industrial bonds as security for
National bank notes. Under the terms
of that act, which is today looked upon
as one of the greatest pieces Of construc-
tive craftsmanship accomplished in this
generation, the total which the treasury
may issue under the act amounts to the
enormous sum of one billion, two hum
bred million dollars. These notes are
full legal tender and are being distributed
to banks throughout the country as rapid
ly as the presses can produce the money
and the Secretary's office can ship it to
the applicants.
'Had it not been for this act and the
preparedness of the department to turn
out the emergency currency with prompt
ness and despatch, " said Joseph E. Ralph,

ARNOLD'S MARCH.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. l
read in a paper of recent date that the
local Sons of the Revolution are taking
up the work of marking "Arnold's trail, -
Waterville and Winslow. The article
brought to mind some lines of an old
song that heard many years ago and
hoping that some one who reads this
may know all of it and will send the
same for publication l send few lines
as l remember them:
"They marched with Arnold at their mead,
Our soldiers true and brave,
To the far off heights of Canada
By wood and rock and wave.
They left those scenes behind perchance
They might not see again,
The orchards green, the fields which
Smiled with autumn's ripening grain.
And forth they went to meet the foe,
The invaders course to check,
And marched with Arnold at their head
Beside the Kennebec.
And there was one, a noble boy
With kindling cheek and eye,
whose smile and voice brought light to all
Lay down at last to die.
To die with hunger's gnawing pain.
A fate that some must share,
Who closed with tears his light blue eyes
And heard his dying prayer.
They took bright curl from his brow
A kerchief from his neck
And laid him meath the autumn leaves
Beside the Kennebec.
And in the dear New England home
Are kept those relics yet,
The story of that stormy past
True hearts cannot forget.
A sisters love kept we'll the theme,
1t passed from sire to son,
And now when winter evenings come
And talk and song are done
The grandsire tells the story Ger,
With tear hi. cannot check,
OF the boy who died SO long ago
Beside the Kennebec.
There is song composed during the
Civil War on the death of Gel. Ellsworth
which would be very pleasing to many it
it were printed in the columns of The
Journal. Such songs should be printed
often. READER.
We should be pleased to receive and
publish copies of these songs. Ed.

director of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, "a frightful monetary panic
might have occurred"
Apropos of Mr.. Ralph, who has been
ION the Job" twenty out of twenty-four
hours every day for the past week look
ing after the work of turning out this
new money, his wife said to him the
other morning: ''Dear, l would like to
have ten dollars. l see several enticing
bargains advertised at the stores and now
is the time to buy"
''Joe" skirmished around through his
pockets and finally fished up $1.75, all
the money he had.
''Isn't that the irony of fate." Ralph
remarked to his better half, "only dol
lar and seventy-fve cents-and l made a
million in the last hour"
From figures submitted by forty deal
ers to the Department of Agriculture, a
milk bottle will last from six to fifty
trips, the average being % 1-2 trips. If
these estimates represent average con-
ditons, the average dealer would have to
obtain new supply of bottles every %
IL days. If he delivers 10000 bottles a
day and they cost him 3 IL cents each,
his daily expense for bottles would be
SIS, or SIS, 575.75 a year, which is gong
some.
In the opinion of the Department not
all of these bottles are lost or broken;
many of them have merely strayed.
Some of the bottles get into the hands
of other dealers and some are dumped
into the ash barrel, which has suggested
that milk bottle clearing houses be estab-
lished in the large cities in order that the
losses in bottles may be reduced to the
minimum.
Senator collie" James was one worried
statesman during the first week of the
war horror in Europe. Mrs. James is
among those Americans marooned some
where on the disturbed continent. Mrs.
James has given her husband great con-
Germ for long time, for she was in very
precarious health for months after he
reached the 'limelight" stage. 1t was,
in fact, only last winter that she seemed
to regain her normal strength and spirits
and her trip to Europe was to recuperate
from the rather strenuous months of the
social life during the first winter of the
Democratic administration.

Political Notes and Comments

When revenues under miserable pre-
fence of a Democratic tariff are failing
fast, how handy it is to resort to an IN
ternal revenue tax and lay it to an Eu-
ropean war.
The Republican journal., 1914-08-27

If this country had been enjoying the
benefits of Republican protective tariff
for the past year and half, instead of
being under the Underwood Democratic
makeshift, it would not now be confront
ed with the necessity for imposing the
ALWAYS hated internal revenue war tax
in order to meet the expenses of govern
ment, and that, too, all because of war
in which we have no part.

The Republican journal., 1914-08-27

Watch the Democracy lay all the con-
sequences of its own shortcomings in
Administration policy since March a,
1918, to the European war crisis. The
titanic struggle across the seas makes a
fine cloud of battle smoke to obscure
Democratic incompetency just before
election. The question for the thought
full voter to answer for himself, however,
has nothing to do with the war. 1t is,
simply, what was happening to the coun-
try in the way of business and financial
depression as the result of Democratic
disagreement for months before the
war broke out? And, answering that
the voter may ask again, how much
worse off will this land of ours be along
this same direction now that the war is
oD and the revenues of boosted 'com-
petitive tariff that were fast dimin-
ishing during time of peace, must de-
crease still further because foreign
competition" is stifed by the conflict
of arms abroad.

If the Administration declared policy
of filling fourth-class postmasterships
only with men that could pass civil
service examination was meant to mean
what it says, why are so many of these
offices in places where Republicans
stood first in that examination still I'M
filled? Can 1t be that our public school
system is such miserable failure that
whenever it sufficiently educates Re-
publican to pass an examination it des-
troys his character and fitness for public
office at the same time?

coast ports and Gulf of Mexico ports.
The Senate assented to that, but later it
was discovered that this would be con-
trary to the Constitution for ports of
the United States must be treated with
out discrimination. So the bars were let
down completely.
People along the Maine coast have re-
Gently been showing much interest in
affairs at Washington. The shipping
bill, which encroached so strongly upon
the Coastwise interests, was responsible
for this in some part. There is still con-
siderable shipbuilding along the Maine
coast and hopes had been rising high
that the opening of the Panama Canal
would bring large opportunities both for
constructing and operating vessels be-
tween ports. Many letters and tele-
grams were received from here in that
connection. President Frank M. Low,
of the Portland Board of Trade, tele-
graphed here that the board Of mana
gers believed any legislation (which con-
templates comforting the rights and priv
ileges of the American flag upon foreign
vessels would BE- hostile and inimical to
the highest interests of the American
Shipping industry" This telegram was
printed with many others of like tenor in
the Congressional Record.
Senator 6urleigh has recently taken
up the matter of an immigration substa-
ton at Portland. Data forwarded here
showed that large volume of immigra-
ton business is transacted there and that
many immigrants land in Portland. This
is regarded as warrant for building at
Portland, ample for the accommodation
of this traffic. Senator Burleigh has
written to the Commissioner General of
immigration, Mr.. Caminetti, about it.
The objection will probably be that there
is not sufficient funds available for the
building and that Congress must first
act. Boston, Of which Portland would
be substation, is to have new build
ing under provisions of law enacted by
the present Congress.
