RISES TO REMARK
Stamp Duties On Sugar One OF
. Threatened reforms BY
Next Congress

Through the enactment of the I'm
derwood tariff law the administration
has blnsted two hundred million dol.
lar hole, in the national treasury. The
question now confronting The American
IL whether the misguided patriots who
have made the hole are going to be
permitted to fill it up with infested
materials of their own selection, and
do the work, according to their own
plans and specifications. On this sub
jeet the st. Louis Globe Democrat rises
to remark:
:" We are informed from Washington
that the administration is about to
turn to the problem of ways and means
Tense Is Wrong
tfThis, we are quite sure, is wrong
as to tense, The administration turned
to the problem of ways and means a
long time ago.. 1t created the prob.
Hem ut the very beginning by putting
into practise the favorite Democratic
theory that the revenue can be main
tanned by reducing the income.
1.-THE result, which could have been
revealed in advance by a simple cal
eulation in elementary arithmetic, was
deficit, a continuing and growing
deficit. Where before had been a full
purse was now an empty pocket, with
a. hole in il.
a+'TO fill the pocket an income tax
was created, and to that was added a
war tax, levying special tolls upon
bankers, ~ brokers, commission mer.
chants, proprietors of amusement places,
tobacco dealers and manufacturers, and
stamp taxes upon all kinds of CONNER,
eisE papers. But they didn t mend the
hole.
Pthlda Loa
!. d" And now we are told that the ad,
ministratiOn is confronted with the
nee essity-mark the word!-Of raising
at least $75 ,OOO,O and possibly $500,
100000 more revenue per annum thar
is being raised under the present ex,
traOrdinary laws. The war tax now in
force will expire by limita alton. Qeeem-
Der 81, but it is to be re-enacted with
increased rates, and with many add
tiOns TO the schedules.
Stamp Taxes For Sugar
at is reported that among the ad,
ditions will be tax on gasoline and
possibly automobiles, and an internal
revenue tax on -four, salt, sugar, coffee
and tea is said to be under considera-
ton. 1t has been stated that. the
sugar schedule of the tariff law may
be 50 amended as to increase instead
of diminish the revenue from that i'm
,portant staple, but that is hardly prob
able, for it would be treason and heresy
and a number of other reprehensible
things, o..
1.-THE deficit must be made up by di-
rect taxation, and it must be con.
tinued as long as the hole in the pocket
remains. That hole will not be re.
paired until the Democratic party
moves out and the Republican party
moves in.

VANDINE REPORTS
ON CANE BORER
...tE-l- .:'s, -
*,'raCticaf Hints On Control Of
Cane Pest BY Hawai-
ian Expert

ID. l.. Van Dine, who was formerly
,entomologist Of the Hawaii Experiment
Station, has published a bulletin on Porto
RiGan cane pests, lie estimated that the
loss in Porto Rico would reach near 700
Joinds Of sugar per acre because Of the
attack of cane borers, which, with the
figures given, would reach loss Of about
Two and one-quarter millions of dollars
TO that island. The losses are not only
made by the boring damage to the canes,
but also by the fungi, bacteria, and in
Tects which obtain access to the cane
through the openings made by the larvae.
These result in a very considerable loss
in tonnage. ...a.Y
The Porto Rico board of cOmm ssioners
Of agriculture is now attempting to in.
troduce enemies of the borer from abroad.
This may require some time and it is
therefore suggested that the planters
themselves should endeavor in every prac.
ticable way TO lend their labor to the
borer reduction, by exterminating those
that they can and by seed cane selection.
Borer Infests Grass Crops
heI oreMce is made to the fact that this
same borer win attack corn and para
grass. The eggs have been found on
upland rice. so that the attacks of the
borer are far reaching.
In general way the bulletin recon-
mcnds as preventive measures, first, plant
ing of non infested seed; second, the
simultaneous planting and harvesting of
large areas of cane land; third, clean
cultivation both before and after.
10 ,ns,,ar.,hak Co. khak l..
injury to thedeane is greatest where the
canes are growing Under favorable con-
Citions. 1t Isl found that healthy, vigor-
Gus canes were injured less than those
that tor any cause seemed to be stunted
and weak. Considerable attention has
been given to the question as to whether
or not certain varieties of sugar cane
wtre more or less immune to the attack
of the borer but no definite conclusions
were reached oh this point.
Burning Trash Poor Practise
Reference IL made to the fact that
T. +. Holloway Of the United States
bureau of entomology published in the
Louisiana Planter of December 20, 1913,
an article regarding the burning of trash,
in which he stated that the experiments
,conducted in Louisiana and in Texas in
dicated that the infestatien was greater
by the borer on lands that had been burn.
cd than on lands where the trash had
not been burned
The conclusion is that in burning cane
fields the parasite of the cane borers that
holds them down to their present level
of activity is destroyed by burning prop
ortionately to the borers destroyed and
that little or no advantage, or even some
loss, occurs from the burning process
that would have been avoided without it.
All this seems to leave considerable field
for further investigation.

observes. vapors from all these COM
bine to penetrate the whole house and
add their poison to the air that is
breathed by those living above them.
Every cellar, even If kept free from
dirt, should be ventilated as carefully
in winter as in summer. A musty
smell shows that mold plants are grow
ing and are waiting to attack fruit and
vegetables. Cold will not kill these
destructive germs. There should be
plenty of air let in the cellar every
clear day. Moistre-laden air en-
tering 1t condenses on the walls and
pipes and soon makes 1t so damp that
1t is a menace to the house. All cell
lars should have dishes of unslaked
lime in them; this takes up moisture
with avidity. When the lime crum-
bles, losing entirely its crystalline
character, it has become slaked and
will take up no more moisture. II

SERIOUS BUSINESS GIRLS.

These are the men who impress her.
She admires them for their sterling,
noble qualities. In selecting hus-
band she wants one who possesses as
many of these sterling qualities as
possible. She will not encourage the
young man who lounges about town;
the kind who is always looking for a
job, but lodging the getting of one;
the sort of fellows who are Indifferent

she sees that it would be jumping from

that there are just as many marriage
able young men on Cupid's list as
there are shirkers. She realizes she is
good girl and is entitled to the best.
The business girl does not object to
the poor man. She knows that the
successful ones mostly have COM

be willing to do her share of rolling
fortunes heavy load up prosperity's
hill If the man showed ability to make
a brave fight in life's battle to get up
in the world.
She objects seriously to the man
who thinks 1t no harm to have his
