DECREASE I'M EXPORTS

Washington, May Especial cor
espondence)-"W long ago ceased
to be chiefly exporters Of food and be-
came exporters of manufactures,
said Secretary Redfield of the depart
ment of commerce, in Philadelphia
April Both. True enough, but he did
not add that it was the policy OF pro-
lection which built up our manufac-
turing industries until we We're able
to get into the foreign market.
"The group of manufactures in our
foreign trade before the war broke out
was the largest of all, and in this group
the item OF fully finished manufac
lures was the largest and growing fac
tor" continued the secretary. If by
fully finished manufacture" Mr..
Redfield meant the manufactures
ready for consumption group. the fig
ures issued by his bureau will hardly
bear him out in SO far as the year 1914
is concerned for they show decrease
in exports of such manufactures from
$463, 700 900 in 1913 to $3S9550, 900 in
1914, difference of over $74000,O00.
Considering the exports OF the two
classes mentioned by the secretary,
food and manufactures for the period
Oct. g, 1913, when a democratic tariff
law was enacted, to July 81, 1914,
when war was declared, we find a de-
crease of exports of "foodstuffs in
crude condition and food animals" and
"foodstuffs partly or wholly manufac-
tured," as listed in the monthly sum-
mary, from $440,O29,69 for similar
period under the republican tariff law
to $350,390,774, or an export decrease
of ss9,639.474.
On manufactures for further use
in manufacturing" and manufactures
ready for consumption, there was en-
ported under republican law $685.
010; under democratic law, 1885, 3d.
$50, decrease of $92,799.950, same
periods considered.
Therefore, on these two groups
alone our exports decreased about
$3.50 900. We were having diff
Guilty to hold the domestic market. The
total excess of all exports for the
period named were S606.639, $50 un-
der republican law. and $345,59S,997
under democratic law, or a slump of
1851 ,O40, 639. And for this condition
of affairs the American producer is
blamed because he is either sulky or
unscientific in his methods. At least
their lack of science in 1916 will not
be attributable to their vote.

Town Promotion.

A Board of Trade man was asked
by the writer of these articles what
was the biggest obstacle he had to
meet in his efforts to boom his town.
He replied by giving 4 fragment OF
personal experience.
"The first thing ! took up when
began On this job" he said, was the
matter of losses by our merchants
through bad debts" organized a
simple little system by which the mer-
chants were to report to me monthly
the names OF all persons who were
fairly to be considered dead beats
Then was to notify the other mer,
chants of the risk they took in deal
ing with these persons. The thing
was perfectly good--on paper.
found after a little that very few
Of the merchants were making these
reports which they had agreed to give
me. Yet had reason to bciieve that
they were losing nearly five per cent
on their sales through bad debts.
FINALLY asked one merchant why
he had sent me no such names as
he had promised to give me. He re
Piled that after he had lost a hundred
dollars on man. he felt rather deslr'
Gus to see. his competitor take the
fellow OH so that they too would drop
another hundred on him."
What possible advancement can a
town expect if this spirit prevails?
t., IL; to- 10 II c no
suffer this merchant was cutting him
self off from all possible chance OF
getting help from the men in his own
line of trade. BY this failure Of CO
operation the merchants continued
to suffer, and an appreciate amount
was added to the cost of living in the
town for all debt paying people.
This illustration was only one OF
the many instances OF lack OF cooper
alton between bushes men of the town
referred to. If one set of merchants
wanted to close for holiday, the
other set would insist on keeping op
en-. Ii one element cut out trading
stamps, the other would put them in
Merchants would sign agreements
circulated by the Board OF Trade and
then violate them.
The city referred to has very un
usually good transportation facilities
and highly central position. Yet
somehow it does not grow much
Probably this spirit Of disunion is the
great obstacle in its path. Nothing
can be accomplished in the way OF
town promotion unless there is a cor
dial union OF all interests.
No business man likes to move into
town where there is discord. 1t is
disheartening to all trying to do pub
lie work to find that their efforts are
not backed up by all elements. When
any business organization is formed
the majority should rule. The min
GRITTY will do far better to sinktheil
own individual ideas and quit throw
ing sand into the machine.

WESTERN TRAFFIC NOW ON.

The great migration Of eastern tour
lists to the west and the two exposi-
tons has begun. That which has long
been predicted as coming has ar
rived. The eastern war is keeping
thousands of Americans at home and
therefore the See America First"
movement is receiving great i'm
rciuS.
Already proprietors of garages and
hotel men are beginning to realize
that automobile travel to the west is
apparent, and prospects for develop
ment later into stupendous proportions
is strongly in evidence. There are
al least two routes across Iowa over
which a large part OF the trans-co.l-
tinental touring will be routed-the
Lincoln highway and the River-tO-
River routes. The River-to-River route
has seemingly the approval OF some OF
the routing agencies and will no doubt
push the Lincoln highway for first
pls.ce in popularity. The garage lr1er
ana others who might be Interested
along the River-to-River route are
leaving nothing undone to advertise
their road, and at this date have
booked number OF eastern parties
ore party being made up OF one hun
bred and forty people.
The people living along the Lincoln
highway surely appreciate the magni-
tude to which this years tourist busi-
Icss will reach, and ought to hold out
every inducement for the trade. This
is particularly true to the western
part Of the state. One booking agency
advertises the route to Nevada, IN
Story county, and then switches the
tourist to the River-toRiver route at
Des Moines and on to Omaha. The
officials residing in the cities and
counties this side of Nevada should
begin an advertising campaign, tell,
ing OF road conditions. hotel and ga
age facilities and scenic anticipa,
tons and thus keep these tourists on
the Lincoln highway.
The route through Crawford county
is in Splendid condition and we under
stand is being bettered at several
points; our hotels and garages are
amply able to care for the tourists and
this fact should be made known, even
by spending money to advertise in the
east, the home OF large majority OF
the tourists who will visit the eXposi-
lions. The road from Nevada to Oma-
lla along the Lincoln highway is just
as good, and claimed By many as bet
ter. than the road to the south of us,
and we should not hesitate to tell the
public.
Those who are interested get busy
-Denison and Crawford county want
this tourist business.

The proof of the pudding is in the

1914-1915 shows that but very small
proportion of the patrons. OF such
schools in our state would be willing
to return to the old system and it is
stated that in Minnesota "less than

more general adoption OF this adj

Among the multitude OF democratic
campaign promises that have not been
fulfilled, the following from the cam
paign literature OF the democratic ma
tional committee in, 1912 is worth not
ing:
Wilson will make the most access
ible president who has ever occupied
the white house"
Washington newspaper men say he
is the least accessible, and it is mat
ter OF common knowledge that he
broke time honored custom by discon-
tinuing the weekly public reception
where the humblest American citizen
who happened to be in Washington
could meet and shake hands with the
president of the United States. No
other president has ever drawn so
small the circle of friends who have
access to the executive mansion.

If some ingenious statesman could
devise and secure the adoption OF
scheme by which the salaries OF men,
bers of the political party in power
would rise and fall with the general
business conditions, we should not
wait long for remedial legislation. II,
for instance, the democratic senators
and congressman who helped frame
the tariff law found their salaries
dwindling at the same rate that the
incomes of manufacturers and labor
ers are decreasing, there would be
loud demand for a special session to
revise the tariff. Then, too, if the
compensation that goes to the occu-
pant of the executive mansion were
cut to correspond with diminished in
comes received by private industry,
perhaps we should hear less about in
dustrial conditions being state OF
