70 ;mnort sugar free of duty, or nearly
60 and then sell it here and in Eng
land at war prices
The result, then, OF this extraordin-
ary niece OF legislation is to increase
the price to the consumer, subject the
domestic sugar industry to ruinous
Competition and put millions of dol
lars formerly paid into the United
States Treasury into the pockets Of
the Sugar Trust! VIZ,
We Challenge Mr.. Wilson or anv
of his apologists to give a single rea-
son why the American Sugar Trust
should be permitted to import sugar
practically free of duty and then sell
It in England at war prices.
Under the Republican protective
tariff sugar netted the government ap-
Droxilnatelv $6O000,0OO a year.
Whv not restore this tariff, or even
double it, as an emergency measure
war measure, if you will?
There is only one reason why not
and that is a political one.
In returning the Republican Tariff
the Democrats would acknowledge the
failure OF their tariff theories and tn,
wisdom of the protective system.
The pill is bitter one.
They will not take it voluntarily.
But it should be forced down theii
troats!
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1914-10-30
duties decreased $1,000, 900!

duties decreased $8,6OO,OOO!
In these three cities, therefore, the
war caused loss of about $3,6OOOOO
IN the month of August, while the
changes in the Tariff caused a loss of
approximately 100000.
In view of these facts, how can anv
man honestly contend that the de-
crease in revenue which the emerg-
encv tax is intended to supply is due
TO the European war and not the I'm
derwood Tariff?
There is way to meet the situation
and 10 meet it quickly. Let the Dem
ocratS introduce bill restoring tariff
duties to the point at which they
found them, increasing them If nee
essary TO secure the needed revenue.
Let them put higher tax than ever
on sugar, for instance.
Sugar now comes in practically free.
and is to be entirely free in 1916.
The tariff was taken off sugar. ac-
cordmg to Mr. Wilson, to benefit the
consumer. But sugar went up in
stead OF down in price and now costs
nearly twice as much as it cost under
the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
Who benefits?
The Sugar Trust, which is enabled

Demonstration Train For Dairymen

What is perhaps the first electric
dairy demonstration train in the coun-
try, will be run by the Idaho Traction
company, on its lines in Ada county
and Canyon county, November 6 and
7. Mr.. Dicke AMI Mr.. Clarke of that
company see in this a splendid oppor-
tunity to cooperate in the extension
movement for agricultural education
which aims to carry the principles of
more profitable agriculture directly
to the farmer, and their far sighted
ness and generously make possible
unique and valuable means of reach
ing the man ON the land.
The train will carry representative
animals of the leading breeds of dairy
cattle which will be used in demon
| Strating what to look for in order to
have desirable, profitable dairy cows.
The cows will be shown and a COW
demonstration will be made at various
points along the interurban lines. In
addition a model silo, silage chart,
and illustrations will be carried on the
! train to serve in illustrating the talks
on the feeding of dairy cows, more
profitable dairy farming and the prof
it silo, which will be given at every
stop by the extension men and dairy
men who will be on the train. This
corps includes Mr.. o. D. Center, di-
rector Of agricultural extension, Uni
versity of Idaho; Mn H. A. Ireland
and Mr.. H. w. Hochbaum, county
agriculturists of Canyon and Ada
counties respectively, as we'll as an in
structor in dairying and some ste
cessful dairymen.
! This novel enterprise of the extern
sion department of the state UNIVERSE
ty will without doubt be valuable
factor in reaching the dairymen OF
these counties III tearms of their own
problems and difficulties, as we'll as,
in helping to point the way to more
profitable management of dairy ami
mails. This industry is ever growing
in this part of the state with our many
advantages, our long seasons OF pas
turage, our excellent meadows, our
fine alfalfa hay, the big crops of corn
that may be raised for silage, will soon
take its place as perhaps the most inn
: portant enterprise of our farms here:
The train will probably stop at the
following points, the farmers are urg-
ed to watch the papers for a full an
nouncement of the time schedule OF
the demonstration train, which VIII
SOON be published. Stops in Ada

GREAT AMERICAN TENOR
AT PHINNEY TONIGHT

Not only in the lighter songs OF
infinite variety, such as cause a ripple
OF joyous mirth to spread over the
great audience, but also in selections
from the great oratorios, those gems
OF sacred song that bring uplft to the
soul, the grandest utterances of song
that the human voice can give, in
these Evan Williams moves his au-
dience profoundly. The noble exal-
tation of mood that comes from these
great oratorio numbers is beyond all
comparison, and the lofty beauty OF
arias from THE Messiah" "The Gre
alton, Elijah" or Judas Maccaba-
Gus, as sung by Mr.. Williams leaves
every listener tense with emotion and
rapture.

great power in certain directions, but
in matters affecting reform in the ad-

MATTERS AFFECTING TAXA
TON and the maintenance of the

can make suggestions if he has a
friendly Legislature. But it is the
Legislature, and the legislature alone,
that is responsible for the appropria-

Hawley is a great little explainer.
