DO you think It will adopt the
measures recommended by Secretary
Garrison?" Congress has high re.
gard for Mr.. Garrison's views In such
a matter, and the inference is natural
that 1t would be inclined to follow his
suggestions.
"But venture to guess Senator
Borah added with emphasis" that
congress Is not, without a good deal
OF hesitancy, going to provide for a
bond issue to take care of military or
naval necessities. 1t is my belief
that n reasonable REIMBURSEMENT OF the
tariff on what now may be practically
a revenue basis, together with read.
justment of the income tax, will not
only take care OF adequate measures
for national defense, but enable US al.
so.to eliminate. the so.called war tax,
which Is nuisance.
I'VE were collecting about s6o.00O,-
600 on sugar, in revenues, and about
S2S,000,000 on wool. Those two items
alone indicate what tremendous ad-
vantage there should he in raising rev.
enues, by simply overhauIing the I'm.
derwood bill.
Il think that the present tariff on
sugar will certainly be retained.
There is no possible argument against
II, and It is Just as feasible to put
back the tariff on wool. The great
cry for free wool was predicted on
the assumption that by taking the
tariff off wool, you were going to make
clothing cheaper. As matter OF
fact the theory has not worked out in
practice. The consumer cannot get
his clothes any cheaper today than he
could when wool was heavily taxed"
In the last ten days OF the campaign

case. The answer is that even the
city woman's vote will favor the
farmer, for as housekeeper she is
as much interested in obtaining farm
products directly and In good condi-
ton as the farmer is TO supply them,
and she would vote in favor of good
roads, better transpor ation facilities
with as much enthusiasm as her
husband. The Housewives Leagues
of the cities are trying to get in
closer touch with the farmers. If wo-
men were enfranchised, the combined
vote of the housewives-or con-
sumers-of the cities with that of
the men and women Of the farms
would have very real influence on
legislation which affects the producer
and the consumer. We might then
hope to see the rise Of the agricul-
tural interests as a great political
power.
Farmers who are alive to present
day conditions cannot fail to be vital

DOUBLE THE RURAL VOTE

A great deal is said in this country
today about the influence of the
trusts, Of the corporations, the rail-
roads and organized labor upon
state and national legislation. We
shear veFy little about the influence
of the producer Of farm products
upon legislation. Before the civil
war, the farmers vote counted. The
United States had not then become
the great industrial nation which it
is today but was largely agricultural
and the rural vote had power. The
farmers Of the West today are
stronger politically than are the
farmers in other parts of the country
but nowhere have the rural interests
the power that the industrial inter
ests have to influence legislation.
If the rural voters want to make
themselves heard and not be out
voted, there is one way TO do it and
that is, doubling the rural vote by
the enfranchisement Of women.
Someone may ask If the industrial
vote would not also be doubled in this
