Dead and Don't Know 1t. 1,
| Some fellows, who are about as
dead as the proverbial canned OYSTER,
always persist in Quitting in'' about
election time and through the old
"ring'' style politics try and con-
vince themselves that they are some
body. Times have changed, and that
style of politician might as we'll get
off the earth. He's about as popula
as flea infested purp in hot
weather. -Chaska Herald. !
He Has Had 1t Long Enough.
Gov. Eberhart has always made
public promises about what he will
do when reelected, but although in
office nearly six years, instead of
bringing about single reform in
state government, he has spent most
of his time travelling over the. coun-
try being entertained, and doing
nothing. What right has he to ask
for reelection, except the bare fact
that he wants the office for his own
lselfsh interest. browns Valley Tri-

The Road Dragging Law is Compulsory

CARRANzA SEEKS
To CLOSE PORT
Of VERA CRUZ
GENERAL FUNSTON SENDS A
PROTEST, BUT SOME SAY ACT
Is NOT UNFRIENDLY - WAR
RING NATIONS WILL SUFFER.

Washington, Aug. 31-Provisional
President Carranza has ordered the
port of Vera Cruz closed, according
to official advices to the American
government. General Funston trans.
mitted a long report on the compli.
cations which might result but state
department officials were not inclined
to regard it as an unfriendly action
During the Huerta regime Vera
Cruz was similarly closed but for
eign vessels paid little attention to
the order. Carranza's decree would
prevent Mexican ships from putting
in at Vera Cruz and if enforced in
an unfriendly way, might exact heavy
penalties on foreign vessels entering
any other Mexican port after they
touched at Vera Cruz General Fun
ston called attention to the posi-
bility that foreign ship owners de
string not to incur the displeasure
of the Carranza administration might
hesitate to send cargoes to Vera
Cruz, diminishing the food supply of
the city.
In some quarters there was dis
position to regard Carranza's attitude
as one of resentment against the
continued occupancy of Vera Cruz
by American troops, but state de
partment officials did not share this
view. An interruption in railway
traffic between Vera Cruz and MeXi-
co City recently occurred but as
soon as General Funston announced
he would keep all rolling stock in
Vera Cruz until traffic was resumed.
the Mexican authorities explained
that they We're using the trains to
transport troops, and Immediately ad.
justed the schedules.
Paul Fuller, personal representa-
tive of President Wilson, is due in
Mexico City tomorrow to discuss
with the government there questions
relating to the American occupancy
Of Vera Cruz as well as differences
between Carranza and Villa AL
though administration officials have
not announced their position in any
formal way, it is generally under
stood that recognition will be with.

between the two chieftains has been
reached and arrangements made for

COMMITTEE
PLAN TAXFOR
WAR DEFICIT
PREPARING EMERGENCY INTER-
NAL REVENUE BILL TO OFFSET
TREASURY LOSSES - URGE
SOFT DRINK TAX.

Washington, Aug. 31-A stamp tax
on soft drinks as well as beer and
patent medicines is contemplated by
members of the house ways and
means committee, which is preparing
an emergency internal revenue bill
to Offset treasury losses due to cur
tailment of imports. 1t is urged that
soft drinks are as much luxuries
as wines and beer and that an equit-
able distribution of the tax burden
among all consumers would be ac-
complished by this plan.
Another suggestion is a stamp tax
of or 10 per cent on railroad
tickets and ADMISSION to theaters,
baseball parks and other licensed
amusements. 1t is estimated that
from $50,0OO,0OO to $SO,OOO,OOO could
be raised in this way.
The committee has not yet deter
mined upon a complete taxation plan,
but purposes to hasten its delibera-
tions so that a bin may be intro
duced soon after President Wilson
addresses congress on the subject,
which probably will be Immediately
upon his return from New Hampshire.
Administration leaders are impressed
with the necessity of quick action in
order to disturb business conditions
as little as possible.
Democrats of the senate will dis
cuss the emergency in a party eau
Gus to be held later this week.
A doubling of the present tax on
beer, it is estimated by treasury ex-
perts, would product $65,0O0,00O.
Some committee members feel that
taxation of commodities other than
beer and patent medicines would
cause less popular friction.
Among the committee democrat
there has been some opposition to
any war tax at all at this session,
the contention being that there is
plenty of available money for pres
ent needs.

b. o. Pettyjohn was here today
from his farm near Lone Grove, with
a load Of roasting ears. He planted
the corn he was marketing today on
the 18th of June. 1t has made a fair
crop, but not so good as his early
planting. Mr.. Pettyjohn said there
was lots of corn on the market, and
his sales were somewhat slow. His
early corn this year, at least a por
ton of it, made forty bushels to the
acre. The green corn he was mar
keting today was a yellow corn and
does not belong to the quick-ma-
turing kinds. The Ardmoreite knows
the corn has a fine flavor. We can
bear evidence of that assertion, be-
cause, through Mr.. Pettyjohn's kind
ness. some of it was placed on our

Raises a Doubt.

"The man who believes a ware
house would be a panacea for the
cotton business are mistaken" said
an Ardmore citizen today. These
people forget that about 90 per cent
of the cotton is mortgaged before it
is raised, | do not mean that nine
out of ten bales are put up with
bankers and merchants for supplies,
but that class of cotton added to
the class on which a rent lien is held
will make the nine out of ten bales
| do not believe the man who holds
the first lien will surrender that first
lien to the banker who advances
money on cotton and the bank
er will not advance money
without first lien. SO you
see there is more to this cotton bus
iness than the mere building of
warehouse. There will have to be
some kind of cooperation among the
farmer, the mortgage or lien holder
and money lender. Just how that CO.
operation is to be brought about,
cannot saw"

A Banker Talks.

One Of the leading bankers was
seen and asked concerning the ques-
tion of first and second lien The
banker said in substance There
is no argument about who holds the
first lien, the lien belongs to the
landlord. That lien will follow the
cotton into the warehouse, it will
follow it until ii is manufactured
into goods and only there will i
lose its identity. The banker knows
he has a lien subject to the lien Of
the landlord when he loans mOney
to a farmer on his cotton and when
he loans money on a warehouse Ger
tificate he knows that the certificate
is subject to the lien of the landlord
The banker loaned money on pros
pective cotton to begin with, and the
banker will be pleased to have that
prospect changed into real cotton
and placed in a warehouse where it
is insured and where it is protected,
and he can afford to make a much
larger loan on cotton Of that kind
In my opinion that is technicalify
that will not amount to any disturb.
