AUDUBON COUNTY POLITICS AS
VIEWED BY THE INDEPENDENT
AUDUBON COUNTY JOURNAL

Another week will make known
the fates of those who seek office.
AS election draws near, somewhat
more interest is being shown by
the voting population, and it is not
ait all improbable that quite a heavy
vote will be cast.
Issues are not altogether clear
owing to there having been obscured
by the shadows of the great war.
National affairs should however.
receive careful attention, notwith-
standing 1T is not presidential year
The manner i'm which the admin
istration has handled the Mexican
situation deserves commentator.
The tariff bfll does not.
Farmers of the Corn Belt were
deprived of all protection and must
henceforth meet the competition of
the world i'm the markets of our owl
nation. This is really of little con-
sequence as far as our meat pro-
ducts are concerned, for there lis a
world shortage OF beef and pork but
with corn DIT lis much different. Ar
gentine is a mrelnaice. lit is merely a
matter of whether she can send us
enough corn to put down the price
in the United States, and Argen-
time can do it. In fact She lis pre-
pairing just now to do it, and it
is certain that her competition will
hurt us worse and worse with each
successive season.
The new tariff law seems lame, too
in other respects. The adminilst ra-
tion states that the European war
has caused loss of revenue of
one hundred mi llilcns. To offset
this, expenditures of sewenty-two
millions were cut off from the Riv-
ers and Harbors, Bill, due elderly Ito
the brilliant fight made by Senator
Kenyon. This really ought to have
deficit OF only twenty eight mil-
lions, Yet it has been found neces-
sany to raise an additional hum
dired million by special taxation
which means that the shortage was
actually upwards of two hundred
nillion dollars. This taken with gem
eral business depression, indicates
condition which should be, rene
died without fail and as quickly as
possible. The election of a reprNbEi.
can congress is the only possible
step ait present.
In state affairs, the only issue
is capitol eMtemi ion, which is toe
small matter to become an issue
at all. However we may feel abou,
it now, it is certain that in years
to come, every Citizen of Iowa viii
be truly proud of the magIificen,
