REDUCING THE TAXES

Lower taxes will come when the
people take the fact home that It is
up to the people themselves to reduce
the taxes. If each resident of the
county will but do the square thing
with the county, If the men, who
work the roads, will only so labor
that money will not be wasted, yea,
grated; if those who supply the
county with material will do as they
would were they selling material to
an individ al, and If all the people

 REVIEW OF COUNTRY
Depressing Effects European War Admitted but Report Generally Gives Assurance of Early Resumption of Greater Prosperity

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-The Com mittee on Statistics and Standards of Che Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America has just is- sued a report ou General Crop and Business Conditions, as of December .l2 l914' The report is accompanied by a map giving graphic illustration of conditions in the various industries and of the prospects for business dur ing the first three months of 1915.
 Commercial
 While acknowledging the wide. spread and depressing effects of lha European war on industrial and com mercia conditions. the report Is gem eIally reassuriug. Economy naturally prevails among all classes, though re- marks have been noted that this does not extend to automobiles Purchases of goods for future delivery are tas . smaller than usual Collections are uniformly reported poorer. Lately a marked change has been noted in a ] lesseuine CT the earlier difficulty oi . obtaining loans from banks and in an easing Of interest rates. It is stated . that conditions il the South. whi C slowly improyug still present a sert ous problem Elsewhere the feeling gaUers strength that steadily i'm proving future is Immediately ahead
 Crop Yields Large
 Crops in general have been good Tine entire wheat crop shows an in crease or 12iA per cent over that Q. lost year and in some southern poiut' the increase is over 100 per cent Tho report states that all indications ar, that the amount of wheat being heli for higher prices is much less than i. generally supposed. lt is especialll worthy of note that some sections arc 7uung winter wheat for the nrs time in their history and it Is pre- dicted that if the war continues unti spring. the acreage planted in grain win exceed thot of an former years The sugar cane crop promises to b -ood one and Co command munei

shells with which to kill the Germans.
This is the effect of England's answer.
AS though the United States, like Eng.
land, is interested only in keeping the
factories going to supply war amuni-
ton. II there is anything in the his
tory of the press of the United States
that indicates Pro-British sentiment
it is the difference in treatment &C.
corded to the German and English
notes. AS soon as the note was re-
ceived from Germany the press dis.
patches sought an expression from
publications in cities, towns, and ham,
lets. with the exclamation, What
Think You of Germany" An attempt
was made to work the country into a
rage against the German nation and
the German people; but why do the
columns of the same papers not show
an attempt to find out the sentiment
of America in reference to the present
answer which has been made by Eng
land to the demands of the United
States. Ambassador Page, attempted
to make answer that, some months ago
when he stated, I'VE are British ruled,
and British led" Each one Of US will
swallow as much of this as suits our
particular brand of pro-British parti-
sanship. Cotton has been declared
contraband of war. A more recent or
der prohibits the importation of sugar
beet seed in Germany through neutral
port. England explains that we must
buy everything from the allies and
then II forced to buy elsewhere, we
cannot use American commodities to
pay for those purchased from Eng
lands enemies. The daily press of
the country has made no attempt to
seek Americas sentiment on the ef-
feet Of England's order in council
against United States commerce. No
disposition is manifested to acQuaint
the public at large with the general
complexion of the note, other than
making gist of its contents with but
little comment. Earl Gray has as
sumed unto himself the task of in
forming the Secretary of State in re.
gard to the meaning of international
law, Its purpose and effect, that is of
course, so far as can be interpreted
to suit England's needs, which after
all, is the only concern that Eng
land has ever had in affairs on this
side of the Atlantic. The answer that
we should be satisfied to have our
commerce interrupted, and ships
seized, If it pleases England to give
us orders for war ammunitions, is one
of the most brazen attempts to tell
this government just what its inter-
ests should be, that has been recorded
since the time that England declared
that the colonies would not have a
right to manufacture even a horse
shoe nail without the consent of par
lament.

TEACHING US INTERNATIONAL
LAW,

The recent note from Great Britain
in answer to the demand of the gov
eminent of the United States that
England's recent interference with
neutral shipping and the seizure of
ships carrying American products or
of goods destined for America from
neutral port, is remarkable in that
the United States has plainly and
bluntly told that we have no griev.
ances either in law or in fact; that
we do not know how to interpret in
ternational law. In short, John Bull
laughs at our contentious and scorns
our. grievances. How ridiculous it
seems to the. British cabinet to have
Uncle Sam complain that England has
not been treating us fairly. The re-
cent note received from Great Britain
recites that Germany has SO aggra-
waited the British government that
England is warranted in going to any
extremes. and Earl Gray tells the Sec.
rotary Of State. that we should be, not
only content, but quite pleased with
the fact that IL our commerce has
been disturbed. we have been more
than compensated by the orders that
have been given by the allies for

efforts in this regard were noticeable
in Ireland. The Irish Trade Union
Congress stopped the English recruit
ing campaign. They got $4,000 men
when they wanted 100000.
Cornelius Leblanc, official repre-
sentative to this country of the Irish
labor party, who came from Cork,
Ireland, visited the Twin Cities, re-
Gently and declared that the working
men Of Ireland are staying at home
in Ireland and attending to their own
business, instead of fighting. "Our
business is going along in fine shape
because our people are keeping the
usual occupations going. Ireland will
thus be able to Withstand the terrible
effects of the war. There will be a
real labor democracy in Europe after
the war is over" declared Mr.. Leblanc.
All this tends to show that Irish and
English labor organizations must per-
feet their own traditions, their own
policy, and their own principles. They
can not expect that revised opinions
of the upper class in England can
ever be modified to suit them. The
snobbery of the upper class in the
British Isles is against such pro-
gram. With labor party in Ireland
asserting itself it is safe to state that
for every arrest made under the
Defense of the Realm Act" by those
who speak their mind against British
rule in ireland, a score of votes are
made that will tell against leader
ship that defies the dictates of Irish
labor. The old traditions must go.
The political demagogue must go.
The plain, practical, hard, common
sense Of the men who do things must
be reckoned with in the future. A
political interest of Ireland can never
be separated from the interest of her
commerce and her manufacture, in
short, from the interest of the laboring
class. This class has spoken. It has
spoken in the interests of Irish free
dom and against any attempt to soothe
the public by promises of home rule.
1t has spoken against recruiting and
its voice is effective.
