Up to this time the censors have re-

In code Germany has been the chief
complainant. because her Ambassador
here Is cut of from all cable connection
with Berlin except through belligerent
countries
The United States under the now ar

understood that Great Britain insisted on
the United states operators having charge
OF the wireless stations.
The only two stations capable OF COM
municating with Germany are those at
Tuckerton, y. j., and Sayville, l.. L. and
they are under the control OF German In
terests. The Tuckerton station. which is
equipped with a higher sending power
than the one at Sayville. has been closed

| blowing is being pushed. Up to this
time indications have been for q
greatly decreased acreage, but with a
favorable September and stimulated
by the prospect of high prices in 1915
there may be an actual increase in
acreage instead Of the s per cent de-
crease now estimated. Wheat will
generally be seeded late, owing to
fear Of the Hessian fly. A much larg-
err percent than usual of the 1914
wheat crop was stacked and is yet to
be threshed.
Other crops-Correspondents esti.
mate on the 1914 oat yield is 2O.2
bushels. Timothy and clover mead
ows are very poor, and but little seed
will be saved. State yield Of rye is
placed at l4.7 bushels; buckwheat,
Is; barley, II 1-2 fax, 5.3. Condi-
ton Of pastures was AZ on Septem-
Der l, but is rapidly improving. Cot
ton condition is 65; tobacco, SO; cow
peas, &c; apples, &c. Recent rains
bid fair to help many of these crops.
Live Stock-The shortage of all
meat animals, which has been marked
for several years, is assuming more
serious proportions Correspondents
report that only 70 per cent as many
hogs on feed as one year ago; 81 per
cent as many spring pigs, and 76 per
cent as many brood sows. Cattle on
feed are estimated at &c per cent
as compared with September /, 1913;
stock cattle on farms 81 per cent. II
is estimated that "a per cent of cat
tie on farms were sold during the
drouth. Many farmers are feeding
new corn. Some wheat is being fed
to hogs, but since the advance in |
price there is a falling off in this
practice The shortage which existed
in stock water has been relieved. and
there is now an active demand for
lightweight cattle. Hog cholera is
more prevalent than it was a month
ago. Horses and mules are still slow
'sle but there is some increased in
'erest, stimulated in part by the
European war. Colts are starting TO
ell, but as yet not many have changed
lands.

is best in Missouri products. Seven
days of racing, four nights of music
and light and the showing of the
worlds finest horses. Every building

There will be no overcharges, either
at the hotels or homes for rooms or
meals. That is guaranteed by the
Sedalia Bosters' Club. And there
should be no reason for failure to

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

Tho Pennington schools opened on
Monday, the 7th, with all regular
teachers in charge of their work. The
enrolment is unusually large in all
departments, but no rooms are seri-
ously over crowded The attendance
the first day was Sc greater than the
enrolment at any time during the
first month of last year. In the High
School the enrolment is 90 greater
than last year, and gives Pennington
the distinction of having the largest
High School in the county.

measure should be adopted:

measure should be adopted
Road districts should have the au-
thority to obtain money by a direct
levy upon the property in the dis.
trict for the purpose of making, i'm
proving and maintaining the roads in
the district.
Amendment No. 6 seeks to confer
upon each road district in the state
the authority to accomplish the pur-
| pose above stated. 1t should be
adopted for the following reasons:
o. Roads cannot be made and
maintained without money. The Con-
stitution, as it now stands, does not
provide for levy in road districts
for road purposes, This amendment
provides simple, direct way Of rails
ing the money and places the burden
upon the taxpayer in the district in
proportion to the amount of property
nt ONHb III Shiu QlSITlCt.
(2) It places the matter of rails
ing money for road purposes and the
matter of making and maintaining the
roads in the districts absolutely in the
hands Of the people in the district.
In other words, it gives the people Of
the district the right to attend to their
own affairs in the matter Of build
ing roads. II this amendment is
adopted the people of each road dis
trict will be given the right to elect
their road overseers and to transact
their road matters much in the same
way the school districts transact their
school matters.
Opposing Argument
The reasons given by the opponents
Of Amendment No. 6, why it should |
be voted down, are as follows:
This amendment ought not to be
adopted because it creates new and
Adoitiona! ways OF levylng taxes. The
Constitution, as it is, affords ample
means for raising taxes for all nee
essary and legitimate purposes. Just
because good roads are q good thing
Ia no good reason for going hog wild
IN the subject. Too much money now
raissd in the name Of good roads goes
INTO road overseers' and others pock-
'tS, instead Of on the roads. We al
-eady have too many road laws. Let
ls cut of some Of the expenses for
inspecting" this, that and the other,
and add the money thus saved to the
registration fees for build
ng roads with funds raised by the
State.

CONCERNING CONSTR
TUTIOEAL AMENDMENTS

jefferson City, Sept. 5.-The fifth
Of the series Of arguments an tn,
measures 10 be submitted to vote q
the coming election was today issuec
by Secretary of State Cornelius Roach
Those wishing to vote Intelligent,
on Amendments Nos. s and 6 SHOULD
preserve this article. The sole pur
pose in giving these arguments is t.
furnish information to the voter, snc
the Secretary of State is in no wa,
responsible for assertions made or
either subject discussed.
The champions of Amendment No. {
give the following reasons why the
measure should be adopted:
This amendment applies only to st,
Louis and Kansas City, and its pur-
pose Is to give these cities tho power
by two-thirds majority of
their qualified voters to issue bonds
to the amount not exceeding 5 per
cent of the value Of the taxable prop
erty therein, for the purpose of con-
structing or acquiring subways and
their apertenances for the transpor-
tation of persons, bagges, express and
freight, and for pipes, wires and ca
bles used for public service purposes,
to be owned and operated or leased
by the city. Because of the rapid
growth of these two cities in size and
population and the congestion of traf-
fic in their business districts, It will
be necessary for their traffic to be
handled by means Of subways, as in
other large cities, to relieve the CON
gcstion in the business districts. and
to provide for rapid transportation
to outlying portions of the city. Be
cause Of the large sums involved in
the construction Of such suhways. pri-
waite capital has been slow to invest in
them and they must be constructed
with public funds. They can he lcas-
ed to private enterprises for an
sufficient to pay the interest
and provide the sinking fund for the
bonds.
Opposing Argument
The reasons given by the opponents
IF Amendment No. 3, why it should
1e voted down, are as follows:
If this amendment is adopted. the
people of the state will have conferred
m st. Louis the power to increase
IS debt-making power to buy or build
subway for traffic. Taxes in st.
.ouls for city purposes are already
higher than a mad cats back. and ev-
ny time the subject of taxes is men
Toned the average st. Louisan froths
t the mouth ut the amount of taxes
e pays as compared with the amount
is country pays in Missouri. The
'ay to keep taxes down is to vote
gainst propositions like this. Save
t. Louis from its extravagant no.
ons. The metropolis has made
reat progress the past century with
ut subway and will continue to
ourish without mortgaganc its
'opIe and future generations for m '
'pensiyc project not at all necessary. {

Yea There Is a Rernady.

Buffalo Journal: From the report OF
the state auditor It appears that the
total Of all direct taxes in Minnesota
for the 1913 assessment, including
state, county, village, town and school,
is $45,763,382. This is 100 per cent
more than it was ten years ago.
Also the state has a revenue from
gross earnings and tax fees. In 1911.
the last summary report at hand, this
item was $14.112,948. That is another
tax on the people, though it Is not COL
lected in the same way as general
property tax. It Is, Of course, much
larger for 1913-the railroads alone
paid nearly SO. 900, 900 more.
Dairying is q great industry in Min
nesota, and we are proud of the high
standing Of the state in this. Yet the
total cash value of milk, butter and
cream in the state for 1909, the last
figures available, VA $29, 219, 900. With
its magnificent dairy record, the prod
uct pays but little more than half Of
the total direct taxes, besides what the
government touches us for.
In 1909 all domestic animals sold had
a total value Of $34,121,517: consider
ably less than enough to pay the
taxes.
2 The value Of all II corn that year
$30,510,145; oats, $34, O23,3S9.
The fact Is that those who are work
ing for the taxpayers are getting more
for their services than 80 or more per
Of the men who pay the taxes,
and that there are a great many more
public jobs than are needed. That Is
shell. There is no remedy that can be
applied. Expenses Of government defy
the law OF graVitation. AS they go UP,
but never come down.
