SALESMAN SAYS FARMERS
SPEND MONEY FOR AUTOS

A travelling salesman of a local i'm

clares that the farmers, instead of
spending their money for farm nipple
ments are buying automobiles.
While attending a fair at Vinton.
Iowa, year ago he counted AZ auto
mobiles in the grounds: this year at
the same fair he did not attempt to
count the cars because there were so
many of them. This is the reason of
the dull sales, he declares.

the invocation by Horace to the Alma

my seeking. My voice has been cast
throughout on the side of peace. My
ministers earnestly strove to allay
the causes of the strife and to appease
differences with which my empire was
not concerned. Had I stood aside
when, in defiance of pledges to which
my kingdom was a party, the soil of
Belgium was violated and her cities
made desolate when the very life of
the French nation was threatened with
extinction, / should have sacrificed my
honor and given to destruction the
liberties of my empire and of man

FRIENDLY RELATIONS
ASKED BY RAILROADS

Washington, Sept. 9.-President Will
son was asked today by a committee OF
railroad executives to address an ap-
peal to the country that the people
take more sympathetic attitude to-
ward the railroads. The committee
did not ask Mr.. Wilson to move for any
specific relief, but told him he could dc
much to remove antagonism which
they said. had grown up toward the
railroads as result of much agitation
The president was told that because
of the European war and an antagon-
istic attitude of the people toward the
railroads, great difficulty was being
experienced in meeting obligations.
The president agreed to give care
full consideration to the statement OF
the railroad men, but made no prom
Uses on their requests. He Is under
stood to favor the view that the rail
roads need assistance.
The specific requests of the railroad
men We're:
THAT the president will call the at
tention Of the country to the pressing
necessity for support of railroad credit
by the cooperative and sympathetic
enort of the public and of all govern
mental authorities. and that the rail
roads be relieved as far as possible OF
further immediate burdens involving
additional expense.
THAT the president will urge prac-
teal recognition OF the fact that ar
emergency is on the railroads which
requires, in the public interest, that
they have an additional revenue, and
that the appropriate governmental
agencies seek a way by which such
additional revenues may be properly
and promptly provided.

we believe, before the war started, is

PRESIDENT OPPOSES
PLANS FOR INCREASE
IN THE INCOME TAX

Washington, Sept. 9.-President Will
son opposes an increase of the income
tax as part of the program for raising
additional revenue for the government.
House Leader Underwood, Chairman
Simmons of the senate finance com
mittee, and Chairman Fitzgerald Of the
house appropriation committee con-
ferred with the president today and
were told that in his opinion an in
creased income tax would not be suit
able In the emergency because no re-
turns would be realized until next year.
In his message to congress on the sub
ject, the president asked that sources
of revenue be selected which would re-
spond quickly.
Have to Start All Over.
I'VE will have Ito start all over
again." said Mr.. Underwood, when
asked about the objections of the presi=
dent to revision of the income tax.
Among the things which now will be
considered for taxation are freight
bills, gasoline, automobiles, soft drinks,
proprietary preparations, kilograms and
checks, amusement tickets, cosmetics,
playing cards and some forms of to-
bacco preparations, such as cigarettes,
on which the present revenues may be
increased.
In view. of the executive opposition
to an income tax increase it may be
necessary to reconsider the decision not
to increase the tax on distilled spirits.
Mr.. Underwood is still in favor of a
tax on railroad tickets.

Butte, Mont. Sept. 9.-The statement
the Butte district that henceforth they
will recognize neither the local union of
the Western Federation of Miners nor
the Butte Mine Workers union, the new
Independent organization, had no eff
feet on the number of men who re-
ported for work today.
The open shop announcement came
so late last night that the miners have
not had time to grasp fully the real
meaning of the companies announce
ment. Leaders of the two unions
whose internal difficulties precipitated
the trouble that resulted in having
martial law proclaimed here, refused to
comment on the statement, other than
to say that time alone will show devel-
opments.
The companies will not discriminate
against the unions it is reported and
while the companies will not recognize
the unions in their dealings with the
employees it is probable that very few
men will find work in the mines who
are not union men.
Butte business men expressed a feel
ing of relief as a result of the stand
taken by the operators. The operators
