REPUBLICAN CONSTRUCTIVE LEG
ISLATiON-PURE FOOD LAW.

Washington, June 29-(Special cor
respondence)-No other national leg

century has done more TO protect ant
promote the health of the American
people and prevent financial los!
through fraud and deception than has
! the national pure food law, which was
enacted in 1906 by a congress thai
was republican in both branches, ant
signed by a republican president.
This law was peculiarly a republi
can idea for it asserted the power OF
the general government to enact leg
iSlatiOn OF this kind, a power which
was denied, by democrats who were
advocates OF the doctrine of states
rights. President Wilson apparently
overlooked this law when he said re-
Gently that the republican party had
not had u new idea in thirty years
The only votes cast against the bill
were by democrats. and one of those
was by Congressman A. S. BurlesOn
OF Tc%aS, now postmaster general the
only member OF that congress special.
lly honored by President Wilson.
! While commonly referred to as q
pure food law the act regulates the
| manufacture and sale of not only food
but drugs, cOnfcctionery, medicines
and liquors; instIres purity, prevents
misbrandins, prohibits adulteration,
requires full weight and measure and
f0rbids use OF poisonous ana deleteri-
Gus substances.
The law requires that if certain hab-
it forming drugs be contained in q
medical preparation, that fact shall be
plainly stated on the label and that the
quantity of alcohol contained in-riet-
icine be specified II prohibits re-
moving part or all of the contents OF
Ia receptacle and Substitution OF an
other article different from that indi-
Gated on the package. In the case Of
foods put up in packages, il requires
that the weight OF measure be speci-
fled on the label. Sale OF packing of
patty decOmpOaed meats is forbid
den All these provisions were neces-
sai,y for the protection of public
health and for the prevention of fraud
in the manufacture and saleNo food
and drugs.
The enactment of the pure food law
was largely due to the persistent rec
concentrations of republican presi-
dent. The bill which became a law
was introduced in the senate by rel
publican senator, Hepburn, Of Idaho,
and although it had only four mega
tive votes in that branch of congress,
those four votes We're. recorded by
democrats.
The hill met with vigorous opposi-
ton in the house where q minority re-
port was filed against it by Repre-
sentatiVes Adamson, Bartlett and
Russell. democratic members of the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce., who asserted that pure
food legislation is matter within
the jurisdiction Of the several states
and not within the jurisdiction OF the
general government.
n Only seventeen members of the
house had the temerity to vote against
the bill, but every one of these was
democrat. The pure food bill was one
new republican idea that they could
not approve.

WOULD PAY FOR PAVING.

County engineering reports show
that S146,179.07 was spent on the Lin
coin highway in Iowa last year. This
includes considerable work>of a per.
manent nature, but does not repre-
sent single mile of paving.
The Lincoln highway could be paved

only go per cent of the cost were
charged to abutting property owners,

1914. continued each year, would pay
the interest charges accruing to the
county or state, and would retire the
bonds in twenty-eisht years. This is
figured on a total cost of $4,000 Il
mile, with 4 per cent bonds.
The counties and townships contrib
uting this $146.000 to the Lincoln
highway were able to stand the finan-
cial strain. 1t did not bankrupt them.
Nevertheless, it was Il drain upon
their resources, because great part
OF the money did not represent Il per
manent investment. The same fund,
put into paved road, would have paid
for the road, increased the value Of
farm land, increased the comfort of
country life, and made more business
for cities. The taxpayers would not
have felt the change, for there would
have been no increase in taxes.
man owning a quarter section
abuttiIlg on the highway would have
to pay $3.t2 per acre as his total
share. Is there any man who doesn't
believe u paved road past his farm
would add $40 an acre to its value?
In this estimate the $l4G,000 spent
in 1914 is treated as a special annual
taX, and nothing is talk
en- out OF it for npkcep and repairs.
The expenditure for that purpose OH a
paved country road would be too
great. -
Opposition to country road inn
proyements is based upon mistaken
notion OF its cost. and an nnderesti-
mate Of the really liberal sums that
are now being dragged and scraped in
to dirt roads.

The SOuth'S Problem.

Inc war IN Europe Has lHdue IL
necessary to readjust farming condi-
tons in this country. The campaign
in South Carolina is but part OF
what is going on all over the coun-
try. The universal appeal is for far
mers to get away from one-crop
idea. In South Carolina the one
crop upon which all calculations have
been based has been cotton. This
year the State will produce some
thing like 100000 in small grain
and it has been estimated that this
is a net saving of about $4,000. 1000
if the grain is handled properly.
The Louisville Courier-Journal is
urging Kentucky to "emancipate' it
self from tobacco and to try other
crops as auxiliary to the wealth pro-
duction of that State. The Louisville
paper says editorially:
In most of the farmers gather
ings over the State during the past
several months the subject of crop
variety has had a conspicuous place
on the programme. This diversified
interest, of course, has its origin in
dissatisfaction with recent tobacco
prices. Whatever else may be said
of the trend that that market has
taken, it cannot be viewed as un-
mixed misfortune if it shall quicken
an appreciation of Kentucky's posi-
bilities in other directions"
The Houston, Texas, Post sounds
a warning to the cottentots of that
great State, and this should affect the
whole South, for Texas produces
nearly a third of our cotton crop.
The Memphis News-Scrim1tar adds
this bit of advice to the planters in
that section:
THE department of agriculture at
Washington has given out warning
to the effect that the enormous eX-
portation of wheat from this country
is liable to create a shortage of this
particular form of breadstuffs among
ourselves. The large prices offered
for wheat in foregn countries seem
to be an irresistible magnet, and
there is danger of the lure of foreign
gold stealing away our food supply,
Of course, there is no danger OF &C
tual suffering. because we have an in
exhaustible supply Of corn, and corn
bread. when properly made, which is
only done south of the Mason and
Dixon line, is certainly as appetizing,
and perhaps more wholesome than
wheat bread. Nevertheless it might
be we'll to put on the brakes before
there is any danger of drawing on.
the seed wheat.
The planting season in South Car
olina is at hand. From a survey OF
the conditions throughout the South,
it would appear that the thing for
the farmers to do is to avoid putting
all eggs in one basket. 1t is wise
and it is safe, to plant some cotton,
but it is wiser to plant first suf-
ficiency of victuals for the needs on
the farm. Cotton can then be sold
or held without injury to the farm
er's own interests while he is hold
ing. 1t appears now that the South
will surely suffer if more than two
thirds of a normal cotton crop is
produced. Record.

Government Men at Needles

Government men are in the city inspecting the holdings of the Western Telegraph company. This is one of the steps of the government to find whether our public service corporations are valued correctly. Many of the railroads of the country are un- dergoing the same examination, the Santa Fe among others. The Santa Fe can come nearer justi- flying its valuation than probably any other big railroad system in the country, for 1t has practically no watered stock, if any at all.-- Needles Nugget.
