ENTER NOW Mr..
CARNEGIE PATRIOT
Remarks of Clyde H Tavenner in
Congressional Record.

Congressional Record.
One OF the strongest arguments in
favor OF a policy of complete Govern
ment manufacture of all munitions Of
war is that such a policy will remove
ell incentive for the defrauding of
the Government by private manufact-
urers. The a trust has never hest
tated 10 cheat the Government when
it found an opportunity to do SO, and
1t has managed to find such oppor-
tunities. 1t is probable that the exact
extent OF the frauds that have been
perpetrated upon the Government by
the wal trust will be known, be-
cause 1t has been only by sheer acct
dent that such frauds have become
public in a few instances.
A proposition has been made to Sec
rotary Daniels, however, that IL he
will agree to reward those who furnish
the evidence of extensive armor-plate
swindles whit a certain percentage OF
the sums recovered from the armor
ring as a result of such information
that it will be forthcoming. Those
who have made this proposition to the
Secretary state that the men who
have such information have dealings
with the armor concerns, and that
others who would testify are in the
employment Of the armor manufacture
ers, and that they can not sacrifice
their interests and means Of liveli-
hood without some kind of protection.
Since there would be no cost to the
Government, unless 1t was able to
actually recover fines from the armor
patriots, it can not be seen how the
Government can we'll refuse this pro-
position. There is little doubt but
that the Government has paid high
prices for inferior and "%doctored" and
defective mt plates, guns and gun
forgings in cor of instances with
out the same being detected.
Any discussion as to armor frauds
necessitates the mention of one of our
prominent m~illionaires who travels
about the country posing as a great
patriot-Mr. Andrew Carnegie, who,
despite his intimation that he has
retired" holds $780, OO. 900 worth of
bonds In the United States Steel Cor
poration. which in turn owns the Car

TOBACCO USED
IN THE ARCTIC

Resources of Miners When They Can
Neither Chew Nor Smoke
When the wind is blowing thirty
miles al hour and the temperature Is
40 below it is some cold" said a man
from Alaska. If a man used tobacco
in the ordinary way out of doors DUR
ing such weather and got his lips wet
through smoking a pipe or chewing he
would apt to get into trouble. First
thing he knew he'd have his lips crack
ed, and they would be raw all winter
long.
The regulars stationed at the mill
tary posts up in Alaska found that If
they tied a tobacco leaf in their arm
pit previous to undesired duty they
would become very sick and could
pass the post surgeon for hospital, get
ting rid of det Ill v)g.x tiCy wanted to
avoid.
The miner: up 4 II, / armed some
thing of this and found that the tobac-
CO craving could be satisfied by bind
ing a quantity of the leaf either in his
armpit or against the solar plexus
This avoided broken and bleeding lips
during the winter, and they weren't
prevented from smoking indoors as
we'll If they wanted to. 1t was the out
door smoking or chewing that made
all the trouble."-New York Sun.

PAYROLL OF
CIVILIZATION MET.
BY FARMER
WANTS NO "DEADHEADS" ON
LIST OF EMPLOYEES.
a CALL UPON THE LAW MAKERS
TO PREVENT USELESS TAX
UPON AGRICULTURE.
:, Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union


The farmer is the paymaster OF
industry and as such he must meet
the nations payroll. When industry
pays its bill it must make a sight
draft upon agriculture for the amount,
which the farmer is compelled to
honor without protest This check
drawn upon agriculture may travel to
and fro over the highways of com.
merce: may build. cities; girdle the
globe with bands q steel; may search
hidden treasures in the earth or
traverse the skies, but in the end it
will rest upon the SOIL No dollar
will remain suspended in midair; it is
as certain to seek the earth's surface
as an apple that falls from a tree.
When a farmer buys pillow he pays
the man who mined the metal. the
woodman who felled the tree. the
material and shaped it into an ar
ticle of usefulness, the railroad that
transported 1t and the dealer who
sold him the goods, He pays the
wages of labor and capital employed
in the transaction as well as pays
for the tools, machinery, buildings,
ETC., used in the construction of the
commodity and the same applies to
all articles of use and diet OF him.
self and those engaged in the sub.
sidiary lines of industry.
There is no payroll In civilization
that does not rest upon the back
Of the farmer He must pay the bills
all of them.
The total value Of the nations
annual agricultural products is around
sig 100000, and it is safe to esti.
mate that 95 cents on every dollar
goes to meeting the expenses Of sub.
sidiary industries. The farmer does
not work more than thirty minutes
per day for himself; the remaining
thirteen hours of the days toll he
devotes to meeting the payroll of the
hired hands of agriculture, such as
the manufacturer, railroad, CONNER
cial and other servants.
The Farmers Payroll and How He
Meets It.
The annual payroll of agriculture
approximates S12,000,000. A por.
ton of the amount is shifted to for
Ign countries in exports, but the
tai payroll of industries working for
ne farmer divides substantially as
follows: Railroads, s1.252, 000,0 900;
manufacturers, $4,365O00,oo mining,
$G55,000,00o; banks, s200,0Oo,000;
mercantile s3,500.000,00o, and heavy
miscellaneous payroll constitutes the
remainder.
1t takes the corn crop, the most
valuable in agriculture, which sold
last year for s1.692 ooO,O 900. to pay off
the employees of the railroads; the
money derived from our annual sales
of livestock of approximately $4,000.
100000, the yearly cotton crop, valued
at S920,0o0,000; the wheat crop
which is worth S61o.0O0,00O, and tn.
oat crop. that is worth $440,000,0O0,
are required to meet the annual pay
roll of the manufacturers. The
money derived from the remaining
staple crops is used in meeting the
payroll of the bankers, merchants,
etc. After these obligations are paid,
the farmer has only few punches OF
vegetables, some fruit and poultry
which he can sell and call the pro.
ceeds his own.
When the farmer pays of his hela.

ON THE CREST OF JINGOISM

Colonel Roosevelt is firing of the
gloom that he has been thrust in of
late and again springs himself in the
lime-light in the hopes of perching
himself on the top wave of some ism
or jingo-war move, perhaps to more
completely thrust himself into some
movement that perchance may again
land him at the head of some party or
ganization. This time he attacks the
presidents foreign policy. His utter
ances SAVIOR largely of the disappointed
office seeker, disgruntled because he
is unable to force the president into
a disastrous war. Roosevelt would
have plunged the country in war long
ago with his ill-advised utterances,
and the American people undoubtedly
are sending up a prayer of thanks
giving that he had been shelved dur
ing such a critical period.
