The best news going over the wires
these days emanates from the agri-
cultural bureau i'm washington. The
latest and very best tidings from this
source is that the four leading cereal
crops. wheat. corn. oats and barley,
promise a yield this year OF more
than five thousand million bushels.
Can you grasp that? II so it will
be easy 10 comprehend that this will
be seven hundred million bushels
more than the American. farmers har-
vested last year. and with one ex-
ception the largest crop on record.
What the average reader does fail
10 comprehend. however. is that with
this cornucopia OF wealth pouring its
food OF products into our laps the
cost OF the necessities of life remains
so high Five thousand million
bushels means nifty bushels for every
man. woman and child in the United
States That should be sufficient to
support life without counting other
sources OF fod supply

INDUSTRIAL ExoTTCs.

A list has been published OF a num-
Der OF large corporations which since
January. 1913. have stopped or re-
dIced the payment OF dividends and
the impression sought to be conveyed
Is that the democratic administration
is TO blame
On its face the statement looks
calamitous. but in a majority OF the
cases quoted IL merely means read
justment The corporations quoted
belong TO the Roosevelt era Of expan-
sion and absorption and that which
preceded IL and are simply suffering
the consequences Of their own iEfia-
ton. They are afflicted with fnan-
cial gas on the stomach. When re-
lieved from the pressure by the ra-
tionaI treatment now being applied
and 10 be applied they viii be smaller
bui more comfortable and dividends
will be resumed where they are le
Ultimately earned.
The curse Of bigness. a phrase
coined by Mr. Brandeis. is a correct
diagnosis OF the cases Of the inflated
corporations which are being exhibit
ed rs awful examples Of the evil ef-
fects OF Pres. Wilson's policies. They
wsre propagated in wet ground. and
grew exotically under the genial rays
Of the sunshine OF special privilege,
but when the water was shut off and
the sunshine obscured they lost their
power to produce the flowers Of divi-
dends
They are the forced product of false
system. They must get their roots
into the real soil OF legitimacy and
fairness before they can expect to
prosper.

WE have no animosity against the
big utility companies which prevents
us having a sympathetic interest in
their protests against increased taxa
ton. To this extent corporations are
as human as the rest of us and they
yield nothing TO anybody in hating TO
pay taxes, though ii is recognized as
a strong, natural human impulse
which one might expect soulless cor
porations TO be exempt from.
PERHAPS we are no worse than
other persons. but there is nothing in
the possession Of a tax receipt which
gives us joy.

WOOL AND THE TARIFF.

During the recent conference of
wool producers and manufacturers
held in Washington, figures were pre-
sented in the senate showing that
wool was bringing higher prices in
Oregon than at any time in the last
% years, with the exception Of two
years. The showing was made by
Sen. Chamberlain of Oregon. Sen.
Smoots comment was interesting.
Were it not" he said. for the fact
that there is a shortage of 100000
000 pounds of wool in the worl0, these
figures would not be presented" No
doubt the senator from Utah was a
good deal embarrassed. For he was
one of the builders of the late, Ia
mented schedule X. and he, almost
more than anyone else, insisted that
free wool would ruin the grower. But
it has not done so. on the contrary,
prices have increased to such an eX-
tent as to curtail buying orders.
The clip, at least in the far west, is
undoubtedly considerably smaller this
year than last. But suppose the price
of wool had gone down, and that it
was shown that there had been an in
crease of 240,000,000 pounds in the
supply-wOuld SmOOt have accepted
the explanation? He asSuredly would
not. but would have charged the low
price 10 Tree ITdue III WOOL. AS IL Is
now, he is greatly-and prOperly-im-
pressed with the influence of demand
and supply as price regulators. At
least il may be said that Providence
has been good to the democrats, from
the Smoot point of view When Smoot
and the others go before audiences Of
farmers and tell them that the tariff
has reduced prices-without admit
ting the existence of any other fac
tors-the democrats can point to wool,
and they will he justified in doing so.
Certainly prices are all the growers
could ask.-The Indianapolis News.

Is This Intelligence or Instinct?
(Monticello Herald.)
Mrs Orpha Mattix is raising four
Chester White pigs Of which she was
very proud of the growth they were
making. She had been letting them
run in the pasture with the COWS, and
for the past ten days one Of the cows
had been giving very little milk in
the morning but gave the usual
amount at night. She could not ac-
count for it until on going to the pas
ture early one morning she found the
pigs lying by the side Of the COW so
full they did not want TO move, and
the mystery was solved-they had
been sucking the COW.

ovERPLAYING CALAMITY.


The calamity game has been over
played.
1t has been overplayed by the rail
roads. 1t has been overplayed by Wall
st. 1t has been overplayed by the
banks. 1t has been overplayed by
big business in general. Evidence is
multiplying that the country is tired
of it, and that it is disgusted with the
methods of acceleration that have
been used to exploit il.
The American people are not fools.
They are not disposed TO cut off their
noses to spite their faces. They are
not given to burning down the barn
in order to get rid of the rats. A few
weeks ago there was a strongly in
creasing sentiment that government
was pressing too hard upon business
and that breathing spell was desir-
able. Public opinion in general ia
VOred the railroads in their plea for
a five per cent increase in freight
rates. 1t favored the pOstpopement
of the antitrust bills until the short
session of congress. There was gen
eral sympathy with the great corpo-
rations in their petitions for a truce.
That sympathy has been largely dis
Sipated.
We doubt If there was any con
spiracy" such as the president Sus-
pected; but there was certainly too
much team work in the exploitation
of calamity-tOo many mimeOgr phed
letters, too many form kilograms, too
many protests framed in identical
language, too much proof that one di-
recting mind had instigated the whole
campaign, too much evidence of a
concerted effort to bluff the president,
congress and the country.
Such methods are likely TO defeat
themselves, and in this case the de-
feat is decisive.
Instead of halting antitrust legis-
lation the campaign of calamity has
made il certain that congress will
pass all of the administration meas
ures before il adjOurns. Incident
ally, the country remembers how bit
teily the organized banking interests
opposed the new banking and cur
rency bill and how unanimously they
approved of il after il became a law
1t is rapidly coming 10 the conclusion
that business has been using the same
kind OF bulldozing tactics TO which
banking resorted.
Calamity may have looked like a
good weapon TO terrify the country
but il has turned out TO be a boom

REAL AMOUNT OF BUSINESS

As things are, il is difficult to gauge
the real amount Of business that is
being done. Those best informed be-
lieve Athat. so far as the textiles are
concerned, the volume of sales will
compare very favOrably with previous
seasons. In silks this is known to be
the case absolutely. In cotton and
wOolens there is one fact that is be-
yond dispute, and that is that the
mills have continued TO take larger
quantities of the raw materials than
ever before. The purchases of cotton
down south for consumption have
shown this for some time, and so have
those OF wool here and abroad. 1t is
also pretty well understood that the
stocks of manufactured goods on hand
are not over large.
Passing beyond the indicia of the
moment and looking TO the future.
the belief has become all but univer-
sal that the corner OF indecision and
uncertainty has been turned and that

OF business in practically every line.
