LABORERS FOR HARVEST ,

Oklahoma and Kansas are begging
for help in securing their huge har-
vests; and with the passing weeks
the cry will be echoed from commu-
mites farther and farther north, as
the harvest-line advances. All the
way from Texas to Winnipeg there
will be need for the cleaners; and
the cleaners will not be there be-
cause there is no adequate organiza-
ton of instrumentalities for putting
labor where it is needed.
If fertilizer, harvesters, seed
wheat, traction engines or boxcars
are needed in a particular section,
the need is almost instantly met.
Anything on earth that is needed
anywhere can be produced there,
nowadays, in a marvelously short
time; anything, that is, except labor.
Yet labor is quite the most import
ant element in production.
The need for a big, broad, efficient
organization, as wide as the conti-
nent, to direct the cbb and flow of
labor tides is more ard more appar-
ent with every year. The fields and
farms must have more attention in
summer than In winter, and that
means that sooner or later there
will come an adjustment which will
contemplate a concentration of eff
fort in the agricultural operations
in summer, and in. other lines of
production in winter. The factories
can wait; the haryests cannot.

PAYING THE PENALTIES.

One of the penalties Southern
States are paying for the privilege
of eliminating the negro from their
politics springs from the largely in
efficient constitutions through which
this elimination was brought about.
The States were SO determined to
destroy the negro vote that they for
got other considerations which now
rise up to plague them. The final
decision of the Supreme Court on
these constitutional inhibitions of
negro voting is expected within a
week and it will be a curious cir
cumstance if all the trouble and in
convenience they represent shall go
for naught.
Alabama's grandfather clause"
constitution was adopted in 1901, and
already there is a demand for a
new convention to frame a new or
garlic law. According to a careful
ly written political article in the
Birmingham Age-Herald, "the max
ers of the constitution of 1901 gen.
orally admit that their work was of
a shoddy variety" Generally it ham,
pers progress and specifically it pre-
vents reforms that the States most
thoughtful and far-seeing citizens
desire to initiate.

convict lease system and the use of
the convicts in the construction of

THE JEWELRY TAX.

There is no occasion for hysteria
because of the recent ruling of the
Corporation Counsel that jewelry is
subject to taxation under the exist
ing personal tax law.
The personal tax law of 1902 pro-
vided among other things, that IL
hraries, school books, wearing ap-
parel, articles of personal adorn-
-ment, and heirlooms should be ex-
empt. In April, 1904, it was re-
enacted, and the words "art;cles Of
personal adornment and heirloom"
stricken out, and the words "all
family portraits" inserted.
There can be no question that
Congress intended to remove the ex-
emption upon jewelry. The trouble
seems to be that nobody heretofore
had the nerve to insist on the en-
forcement of the law as it was writ
ten.
If personal property is to be taxed
at all, it is difficult to understand
why the contents of grocery and dry
goods, furniture, and clothing stores,
and all articles of daily use, should
be taxed and the consumer compelled
to pay the same, while hundreds of
thousands of dollars of articles of
mere personal adornment should es-
cape taxation. No rule of justice
or decency permits the construction
of this law so that the necessaries of
life shall be taxed, while the luxur-
les and ornaments go free.
So far as right and propriety are
concerned, it would be much more
just to tax articles of adornment
and exempt groceries. The law un-
der which jewelry may be taxed is
stringent enough, and when fairly
administered can be made exceed
ingly effective. If people can afford
to put thousands of dollars in jew
elry and precious stones, either for
the safety of their investment or the
qualification of their vanity, they
can certainly afford a tax to pay for
It's police protection and frequently
the expense necessary to its recovery
when lost or stolen.
Our phylacteries will not become
overworked nor our sympathies un-
duly strained, for those unfortunates
who own sufficient jewelry to be tax
ed thereupon. Their number is not
so great that their misfortune
reaches the proportion of general
calamity. While we are not un-
sympathetic, yet we refuse to weep.

HE OUTFLOW OF GOLD

There is less concern over the
eady movement Of American gold
80 Europe than has been noted over
similar movement in many years;
erhaps since the civil war. In the
..-st place, the world understands,
etter than it used to, the strictly in
national character of the gold
locks, which move to and fro with
ut let or hindrance of tariffs or
: ecial taxes, working like the tides
maintain a uniformity Of condi-
ons through the industrial oceans.
here is less agitation about a gold
novement simply because it is un-
"rstood that gold may move either
az, and at times must move, in
lc regular processes of business.
France has been demanding gold
rom London and from New York.
and France always has the power to
force such commands as this.
financially, France is a great credi-
or nation, though industrially it is a
cbtor nation. Just at this time, ow-
q to the Kaleidoscope shifts in
politics and ministries, Frances
nancial affairs are in nervous
light. The inability of any ministry

PROVISIONS for the government does
'ot signify that France has sudden

pacity; it merely indicates that some

fact it can't be used till it is desig-
mated formally for that purpose.
France, then, is in momentary need
IF our gold; and the fact that the
semi-annual dividend payments are
coming on at the very moment when
business is in such ano-
E2alous state, adds to the complexity.

"Persuant to the law, l. Elias NJ. Am.
mons, governor OF the state Of Colorado,
hereby designate Friday, April II, as Ar
bor Day. School officers are urged to
prepare appropriate exercises, inspiring
in the children love for trees and shrubs
flowers and sentiment for the protection
of birds. Each householder should add
some attractive plant life to his yard or
grounds, and patriotic and civic oreaniza-
tions should begin planting trees to beau
tify our highways.

and flowers to lend charm and beauty

that not only systematic plans for improve.
ment may begin this year, but that praise.
worthy progress may be reported to the
