Untaxed Railroad Lands

Congressman Falconer has intro
duced bill, known as House Bill
1870, which provides that there
shall be appropriated sufficient mon
ey to Immediately proceed to survey
all land grants in the state of Wash
ington, and, in speaking on the bill,
on July "a, called the attention of
the House to the swindle that has
been worked upon the people of this
state for 80 years.
Congressman Falconer briefly re-
viewed the land grant history of the
Northern Pacific railway, the original
grant to which was made in July,
1864. This grant gave 200 foot
right of way from the Lakes to the
Pacific and approximately 100000
acres of land, and provided that the
road should be completed and all
lands surveyed by July 4, 1876. He
cited the technical points of law
that have been used to delay the sur
veys of this land, of which he esti-
mated there are 100000 acres,
which should be paying 100000 or
100000 in taxes annually.
There are 100000 acres of untax-
ed, unsurveyed lands in the state of
Washington" declared Mr.. Falconer,
"and it is hard to explain to the
people Of my state why the surveys
are not made" The entire speech of
Mr.. Falconer bristles with facts that
show conclusively that the railroad
lobby, with obvious collision in the
departments, has effectually evaded
taxation upon millions of acres of
land for the past Ss years. If Con-
gressman Falconer succeeds in break
ing through the lines Of this combin.
alton and secures the surveys he
seeks. his term in congress will have
been worth while to the state.

A War That Is Madness.

Germany has run amuck. There
is no other explanation of the Kaisers
policy in forcing a general European
war.
Fortunate it is that Great Britain
is compelled to cast her sword into
the balance without further loss OF
time.
The issue is now joined. Either
German autocracy must be crushed
or European democracy will be OBJ.
liberated. There is no middle course.
If the forces that the Kaiser has loos-
ed are victorious, the map of Eu-
ropean republicanism may as we'll be
rolled up, and the American people
prepare to make the last great stand
for democracy. All of Continental
Europe that is not Russianized will
be Prussianized. France will be re-
duced to the status of third rate
power. Belgium, Holland and Den.
mark will fall successfully into the
NAV of German Imperialism. Italy
will become a vassal state, the sun
will have set upon the British EN-
pire as we'll, and the mailed fist
of the conqueror Will make ready to
strike the final blow at democracy
in the New World.
The course Of the German govern
ment during the last week cannot
be reconciled with any theory of
political sanity. Wantonly and de-
liberately the Kaiser has plunged his
sword into the heart of civilization.
The whole world is paying the pen.

people alone, three thousand miles

lied industry and disorganized finance
and the final reckoning that must be
paid for this maniacal onslaught Of
German autocracy defies calculation
The human imagination is staggered
as it faces the inevitable consequences
of this supreme achievement of para.
noia.
1t is still possible to sympathize
with the German people in the great
tragedy that has overtaken them,
with their backs to the wall fighting
a more powerful coalition than ever
Napoleon faced. But there can be
only one answer to the Kaiser's chal-
lenge to Europe. German autocracy
has made itself the enemy of man
kind. It's destruction will be the
emancipation of the German people
themselves as we'll as the salvation
of European republicanism.

The Fraud of Senator Lodge.

Has the suit ordered brought by
Postmaster General Burleson, against
the United States Beet Sugar Indus
try any connection with the advances
in the price of that commodity? Read
the disgraceful story and answer for
yourself.
The postal department had ordered
the suit to recover $4,000 for postage
alleged to be due on a pamphlet cir
culated under the frank of Senator
lodge while the Underwood tariff law
was before congress, information Of
which was brought out during the
recent senate lobby Investigation. The
story throws an interesting sidelight
on the invisible government" that
went out of business shortly after
the inauguration of President Will
son. The statement given out by
the department said:
Senator Lodge obtained, on July
81, 1912, an order of the senate to
print certain charts displayed in the
senate to illustrate his speech, which
We're furnished him by Mr. Palmer.
A proof of the charts was furnished
to Mr.. Palmer, who enlarged it be-
yond the scope of the senate order
and it was printed under an alleged
order of different date of which the
senate has no record.
Mr.. Palmer also had printed by
private concerns $4,000 copies of a
pamphlet differing in many respects
from the copies printed by the gov
eminent printing office and sent them
under the frank of Senator Lodge"
The dispatches do not Indicate that
action is to be taken against Sena-
tor Lodge, and it is quite probable
that no law exists whereby he can
be held amenable, but, if so, the hon.
est members of congress owe it to
themselves and the country to re-
strict the franking privilege to the
uses for which it was granted, that
is. to the necessary correspondence
with their constituency. . s..

Food Prices and the War.

II merchants in the Eastern states
are making an excuse of the war
to charge higher prices for food, they
will perhaps be made later to listen
to some elemental truths by having
stock left unsold upon their hands.
War produces at the same time
famine in market lands and glut in
producing lands. Food is contraband.
1t can be shipped to England or
France only if the sea is successfully
patrolled, and at buyers risk. 1t can.
not be shipped to Germany at all,
and German cities already feel the
pinch of want. 1t is the price they
pay for permitting an autocrat to
make war over their heads.
Railroads refuse to bring food here
for export. 1t is clogged somewhere,
waiting for peace. Imported grocer.
les and supplies, German beers,
French wines and like commodities
may for a time sell higher, and legi.
timately so; the stock once exhaust.
ed cannot at present be replenished
But no foods raised on American soil
have any reason for showing scarcity
prices unless that reason existed two
weeks ago.
Later, when an impoverished world
takes up the task of paying for wan.
ton destruction, it may be different;
but just now let there be no non.
sense about raising the price of
American food to consumers. Food
prices should fall, not rise.

week ending September 18:
Receipts for the week have
been-Cattle, 1884; Calves, 81;
Hogs, 1898; Sheep, 6794.
Cattle liquidation comparative

partments. Best light steers sold
Monday at $7.35, bulk steer sales,
$6.75 to $40. Butcher stock in
small supply with prices steady.
Swine receipts inside of 5000
for week. The average run of
hogs at this time is not a prime
quality, due to the high prices of
grain. Bulk of best light stock

oats prepared in this manner. 1t may |
be fed to .,ood advantage after the sec
ond or third day In connection with
the bread sopped in milk.
The chickens should have free access
to some kind of grit after the first
day. Coarse sand makes an excellent
grit for young chickens. AS they get
a little older some coarser material
must be provided.
Milk Is an excellent food for these
young fowls. but it requires skill in
feeding. One of the great difficulties
in rearing fowls is to carry young
chickens through the first two weeks
without bowel disorders. Too low
temperature in the brooder. improper
food and injudicious feeding, even II
the right kinds Of food are given, each
plays an important part in producing
these disorders After the first ten
days milk may be given more freely
perhaps than during the earlier stages
of the chicks existence.
A mixture of fine middlings. wheat
bran, cornmeal and little linseed
meal softened with milk makes a valu-
able food. Hard boiled eggs may be
fed from the beginning. but, like milk.
require more skill than the feeding Of
bread sopped in milk. On farms where
screenings from the various grains be-
come really a by product these form
cheap and efficient food for chickens.
Wheat screenings especially form one
of the best foods If they contain con
siderable portion of good kernels that
have been cracked in threshing. Then.
too, the screenings contain a number of
weed seeds that have some feeding
value and are relished by the fowls
They not only provide sustenance. but
give variety, and this in measure i'm
proves the general health.
A good mixture Of grains is equal
parts Of whole wheat, cracked corn and
cut or crushed oats. Some poulterers
prefer to feed wheat one day. corn the
next and oats the next. This is all
right either way. Grain once day Is
sufficient If variety of other food Is
obtainable. A cheap and valuable food
Is stale bread or rolls which bakeries
and restaurants sell at cent pound

may be used. Meat scraps or ground
bone may be fed sparingly with mash

the morning. mash at noon and vege

| evening. Make the mash with skim
milk If 1t is available Sour milk and
whey are good substitutes now and

Where fowls are kept In confinement
1t will be necessary to supply some
meat food. Finely cut fresh bone from
the meat markets is one of the best, If
not the best. kind of meat for laying
hens. Unfortunately it is not prac-
ticable for many poultrymen to depend
wholly on this product. for the reason
that it is often inconvenient or impos.

the first thirty-six hours after Matching.
One of the best foods that can be fed
the first few days is stale bread soak
ed In milk. This should be crumbled
fine and placed where the chickens
have free access to 1t and where they
cannot step on 1t. One Of the difficult
problems for the poultryman is to de-
wise some means for feeding little
chickens so that they can consume the
food without soiling it If placed on
the floor Of the brooder or the brooder

be trampled upon and will soon be-
