by the Interstate commission in Wash
ington next week Iowa will be repre-
sented by Judge Henderson, commerce
counsel and Clifford Thorne. chairman
of the commission. The latter also rep
resents western stock shippers and
commercial bodies and the western
state commissions.
Messrs Thorne and Henderson have
worked together and with excellent re-
suits in the handling OF these big rate
cases and while not always agreeins
as to the exact line of argument to be
followed as would be natural with twc
lawyers working along different lines
yet they have stood together on the
main points and have been effective
They have the backing and the author
ity of the Iowa railroad commission
and that of other states formally given
and of the many organiza tons deeply
interested in rates.
Mr.. Thorne expects today to present
to the commission the matter of the
protest of the Iowa cities on the Mis-
sissippi river against the St Louis
scheme of having that city favored Ia
all rates to and from the east as against
all other Mississippi river cities. This
is the outgrowth of the order and de-
cison in the former Mississippi river
rate case won by Iowa.
w. b. Martin. traffic commissioner oil
the Dubuque shippers Association vii
also assist in both these cases.
One of the natural and expected re-
suits of the financial stringency which
has its origin entirely outside of Iowa
is being reflected in state affairs.
The past few months have been the
big tax collecting months in the state
. The taxes collected are due the state
now. They will be coming in for the
next six weeks or more
But county officials are SLOW in send
ing in the money. 1t is not at all sur
prising that local bankers are pressins
the county officials TO hold back moneS
until the last minute. Every banker
wants to hold to the N ,ney he has as
long as possible So from this and 9TH
er reasons the forwarding OF sums IL
the state has been slow.
But as usual at sucn times every
person having bill against the state
expects more than ordinarily prompt
payment. The demands upon the state
are large.
Despite this fact the balances in the
. general fund of the state have not rur
tas low AT this time of the year as us
ual. The treasury balances have beei
iiuctuatins for a good many Years from
, practically nothing to half million
dollars. The latter sum is all the state
ever needs on which to do business
Some years ago the policy was adopted
of keeping the balances down to
workable amount because larger sums
than needed would merely be cash iI
the Des Moines hanks for their use.
But state officials are feeling GOOD
over the excellent condition OF the
state treasury in view of the DISPOSE
ton of the banks and everybody else
to hoard money and to hold back pay
ment of bills and sums due.

he believes that Made In u. s. A." IS

The slogan Made in U. s. A." Mr
Hartgan said. represents the United
states OF America and not North, South

I'm Europe Made in America Is under
stood 10 mean made in the United States
Uniformity OF slogan, however would
overcome the existing understanding OF

The slogan Made in America properly
includes the entire NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
America, United States, Mexico Central

Understand the only one of these coun-
tries which Is a manufacturing country Ia

The use of the slogan Made in tho

would have particular advantage in view
Of the fact that the three initial letters
U A make up in Spanish the word
'usa,' which translated into English means
uses from the verb to use Therefore
Il will be noted that the use Of tho en-
olematic slogan Made in the Y. s. A.

also the Spanish word usa,' could be used
with profit when advertising In Spanish
which Is the predominant language IN

An Appeal TO Republicans.

This week Mr.. TANNER had occasion
to send letter TO Mayor mitchell, re-
buking him after the time honored
fashion Of Republicans for deciding to
vote for candidate of his party for
State office. Having composed the
document using as his model the an.
Client form kept constantly on file
at headquarters. and then having given

obliged to mail II. But the treasury

Congress and the Navy.

Secretary DANIELS is not ingenious
when he discusses the relations Of the
General Board of the Navy to his De
partment and TO Congress. 1t is true.
as Mr.. DANIELS says that the General
Board since 1900 has Furnished N
consistent and continuing programme"
but the reason why the Secretary has
cut down the recommendation OF the
General Board and why Congress has
often made a further cut Is not to be
found in the frugality OF either the
Secretary or OF Congress. Mr.. DANIELS
puts II this way:
because OF his intimate knowledge OF
tho policy OF tho Administration. demands
or other depar tments OF the Government,
ana the condition OF the countrys
finances. II has not been possible for the
Secretary OF the Navy to adopt in toto
tho General Boards recommendations,
nor has II been possible for Congress 10
provide always the vessels which the Sec
Rotary has recommended"
The Implication Is that while the
Secretary might like TO follow the rec
ommenda lions Of the General Board
the question is one of sparlng the
money; whereas the fact is that every
time the Secretary's modification of
the General Boards programme is pre-
sented to Congress the members at
once get by the ears over the CUES
ton whether the United States navy
would not be strong enough for all pos
slble contingencies II only one battle
ship were authorized. Economy plays
but minor part in its debates. As
sT the General Board, Congress con-
sders that It suffers from professional
mcgalomania ana wants to commit the
country 10 an unendlng fleet rivalry
with Great Britain, Congress SCOTS at
the General Board and thinks tho
proper thing TO do Is to divide its list
of ships needed by two or four Early
In the year Admiral DEWEY had this
TO say about the work of the body that
Secretary DANIELS calls the General
STAFF of the Navy:
The General Board carefully studied
ne nations commercial aspirations and
the strength OF the countries with which
commercial rivalry was likely to bring
us into contact II studied the we'll es-
tabiished national policies. like the Mon
roe Doctrine and the restriction OF orien-
tai immigration. It looked into possible
complications over defending the Panama
Canal and maintaining Its neutrality. II

The Rising Tide OF Exports.

After all, the war cloud may prove
to have silver lining, or rather n
golden one. The latest developments
in the business and financial situation
are far different from what the pessl.
mists were predicting only a week or
two ago. All talk OF stagnation In
our export trade has ceased and ala rm
over the settlement of our debts to
Europe Is disappearing MS millions Of
credits are transferred to New York
to pay for the huge purchases that
England, France, Germany ana Russia
are making or planning to make here.
The new buying movement affects o
great variety of interests. Except cot.
ton, which so far remains in class
by Itself, all forms of rural industry
are benefited. September's shipments
OF wheat, -four, corn and kindred prod
ucts were two and a half times AZ
great MS IN 1913. From day to day the
demand for export grain Is Il feature
on the New York Produce Exchange.
Meat products Of all sorts ARE in huge
demand, Foreign officers are buying
many thousands OF horses.
But the market for manufactured
wares appears to be no less. There
are very large orders being placed for
all sorts OF material of war, term
which includes such diverse articles as
barbed wire md automobiles. In adj
ldition clothing and underclothing for

stocks In this country could be sold
out completely If the holders did not

A banker quoted in THE SUN est
mates that the country's exports will
be doubled in the current year, reach
ing a total of $4,000, 0O0, 900. The figure
may be considerably too hopeful, but the
fact which II represents Is becoming
too plain TO question, namely. an enor-
nous and profitable increase in the
immediate future in foreign trade.
What is more, It is to all intents and
purposes cash business through the
transfer OF foreign credits, and prac-
ticnlly every dollar not only tends to
diminish unemployment and enhance
gains here but simultaneously helps
to reduce the incubus Of transatlantic
liabilities.
Naturally this boom in export trade
IS only temporary. little or none of
1t means permanent expansion for
American industries The war once
over. the European countries will go
back to producing for themselves and
each other. American trade will re-
turn to normal conditions. In this
there will be no injury to u.s. The
country will be neither better nor
worse Off than in the first half, say, of
this year. But the temporary rush to
our fields and our factories to meet
Europc's Instant needs viii have tided
over a critical period of
commercial dislocation from which
great loss was feared. not only with.
out serious damage, but possibly. taxi

tional savings, stoppage Of outflow Of
money, for instance-with important
net advantages.

Age or Generals.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir; After
reading the article in yesterdays SUN on
the ages of leading Generals In modern
wars three names occurred TO me OF men
younger than any mentioned therein. All
three are French OF distinguished service
and reputation. They belong to the Rev1-
lutlonary and tho Consular periods. The
names are: Francois Marceau, com
mander of division In his twenty-fourth
year; Louis Lazare Hoche and Charles
Victor Lcclerc. who achieved the same
rank at the ages OF 20 and ~ years re-
spectlvely.
Marceau, while In command OF the
French forces operating on tho Rhine,
died In his twenty-sey enth year from
wounds received in battle Leclerc was
sent by Bonaparte to quell the insurrec-
ton OF the blacks IN Santo Domingo, and
he died there OF disease in his twenty-ninth
year He was tho husband of Pauline
Bonaparte. Napoleon's sister Hoche died
too of disease in his twenty-nnth year.
