Special Correspondence

Topeka, Kans., June s. 1914.
The Republican State Genital
COMMITTEE whatever that might
be- has been extremely silent the
last few weeks regarding the tariff.
For many years the Republicans
frightened the farmers into beliey-
ing that a low tariff ment low
prices, They started the same
about the time the WilSon--Under
wood tariff went into effect.
The first claim was that because
of the new tariff law the price of
egg would go down to 6 or Z cents
per dozen. This however, has
proved absolutely false as last
Saturday egg were selling on
the market at one cent a dozen
more than they were a year ago,
The Republicans also contended
that because the tariff on butter
was reduced from 6 cents to 2 l.2
cents per pound, that would
be on the market from 8 to 10
cents per pound, and farmers
wives would be unable to make
their usual sayings by marketing
their butter. However, the claim
has also proven untrue,as at Elgin
witch is supposed to be the cen
ter of the butter market-butter
was selling at one fourth cent per
pound less than a year ago.
The fact is that the Republicans
State Central Committee cannot
find suitable argument that will
convince the people of the
state of Kansas that the Wilson
administration has not been the
true friend of the people, The
Republicans have been putting
up a calamity howl ever since Viii
son has been President and have
ever intimated that it might moi
be possiable under a Democratic
administration to raise a wheat
crop. This theory also has been
exploded. The cry now is that The
farmers will not receive a reason
able price for their wheat. This
J statement also will fail as all other
stories concerning the tariff hav'
faileed, for September wheat is nov
selling at 81 cents.
: 1t might also be mentioned thai
six year ago under the highest pro
, tectiye tariff we had, wheat wa:
selling on the Kansas City marke
at 81 cents per bushel.

National Prohibition.

Here is what prominent liquor man
says in circular sent out to liquor
dealers, for the purpose of arousing
them to action against the proposed
constitutional amendment:
The League has announced national
Prohibition by constitutional amend
ment not later than 1920. The League
has the power, unless checked, to accom-
plish its purpose.
The passage of resolution by a two
thirds majority of a quorum of each
house of Congress would send such an
amendment to the states for ratifca-
ton or rejection. The president has no
power of veto over such a resolution.
Once RENTED to the states its ratifica-
ton by thirty-six of the forty eight
states would incorporate it IN the
supreme law of the land, making it
irrevocabIe save by a two thirds vote
in Congress ratified at the polls by three
fourths of the states.
There is grave probability that the
League will send such an amendment
first to Congress and then to the states
within year, or, possibly. even sooner.
Once sent to the states no power on
earth can prevent its eventual ratifca-
ton. While an individual state might
reject the amendment twenty times,
once submitted to the country it will
never be withdrawn, and its ratifica-
ton on the twentY-frst, or the 12lst
ballot, would be effective The League
could take its time and take advantage
of conditions. here and there, until it
eventually secured ratification by the
requisite number of states. Once this
matter goes to the people, national Pro-
hibition is inevitable.

Idle Freight Cars.
Adv

Whether it be regarded as cause
or as an effect, there is no escaping the
fact that there is great lassitude at
this time in the railroad business. A
report recently given out in Phlladel-
phia is to the effect that the Pennsyl-
yania system alone has Sc. 900 cars idle
out of total car equipment of $50, 900.
1t is estimated that this idle rolling
stock represents an investment cost of
$50, 100000. If this percentage of idle
cars extend through all the systems,
there are probably 100000 cars now
out of use, representing an unproduct-
i've capitalized investment of about
81, 900, 900, 900.
1t does not make much difference
which end of the theory of cause and
effect may be accepted-the come out
is about the same. That is to say, if
we assume that the off in railroad de-
preston we land in just about the same
place as when we assume that it is the
Widespread falling off in general business
that is putting the railroads on the side
track. AS matter of fact, however,
the business OF the transportation lines
always reflects the high pressure or
low pressure conditions of general
business.

But his faults are a portion of him.

He's far from sweet seraphim.
But he's always been square with

Ever ready to give or to lend.

And wish they'd had nothing to say

THE citizens who make town great
says the Cumberland News are tn ose
who appreciate both their duties and
responsibilities. They are alive to the
needs of the community and are not
afraid to spend both money and time in
the effort to bring things to pass. They
keep their eyes and ears open to every
opportunity and achieve substantial
success while others are sleeping or de-
batting the expediency of certain line
of conduct. They think about their
own affairs, of course, but they are
wise enough to comprehend the vital
truth that he serves himself best who
never neglects an opportunity to be
useful to his community. They are
willing to take part of their time and
devote it to the public good. What is
true of this town is true of the entire
country.
