Democratic stamp Tax Statesman.
Fort Worth, (Tex.) Record, DEM
ocratic.
Our Democratic rulers who are
national lawmakers are wonderful
constructionists. Go read the war
tax revenue measure that they build
ed
Ii is as simple as Chinese puz-
zle. 1t is safe bet that the men
who made it, il called upon, would
be unable to unravel its intricacies
or explain its mysteries.
The stamp tax feature, as odious
to the eyes of man as Satan is sooty,
is tumble of incongruities. incon-
sistencies and taxation infamies.
1t must have been invented by
lawyers who are lawmakers to create
business for lawyers who are not
lawmakers.
1t is indefensible, even il II bears
the hallmarks and birthmarks of the
6udfuidhS vi thc DcmoCIdtiC dTh VI
hope.
All the people are damning 1t.
Even the lawyers are disgusted with
it. One ruling has been made by the
attorney general.
This applies to the stamp tax on
insurance.
He holds that the company may pay
the tax and not the policy holder or
the buyer in insurance.
Railroads. telephone companies.
telegraph companies and express
companies are exempt from payment
of the stamp tax.
Did the\ Representatives of these
corporations put one over these
guileless sons of Gideon under the big
dome at Washington who claim to be
the agents on earth of Thomas JEFF
erson. Andrew Jackson. James Mon
roe. Samuel J. Tilden. Grover Cleve-
land and all the other fathers and
stepfathers of the Democratic party?
Perhaps the railroads have an ex-
cellent excuse. az
For year or more their represen-
tatives had fitted about the capitol
corridors. pleading poor business and
asking the interstate commerce COM
mission to grant them liberal ad-
vance in freight rates.
AS a matter of course. II the rail-
roads were facing bankruptcy IL
would have been notoriously unfair

ARE YOU RAISING
WOOD OR FRUIT?
Noted Soil Specialist Tells What
Is Wrong With Many Unpro-
ductive Orchards.

Benton Harbor, Mich.--Prof. Hen
cy G. Bell, agronomist of the Middle
West Soil Improvement Committee,
Of the National Fertilizer Associa-
tion, is known as the Dirt Doctor"
y many Michigan fruit growers.
He was relating some of his exper-
fences today.
"A few Winters ago." he said, 81
visited young orchard which had
made wonderful growth. The wood
was free of scale-had good,
healthy color. told the owner so
and he replied, Yes, but I'm not
growing timber; and the entire plant
ing has not yet borne bushel of
fruit. For few years grew straw
berries and other small fruits, then
I plowed IL up and put in cover crop
of buch-wheat. It's had a cover
crop nearly every year now, and
when IL didn't / mulched the trees
with straw or stable manure. The
soil is certainly rich enough, but the
fruit doesn't grow
"A look at the orchard soil con-
firmed his statements. 1t was liter
ally filed with organic matter. /
turned to him and esked, You've
seen pigs grown on corn alone, brok-
en- down with bones not strong
enough to carry them?
HE nodded assent, and caught
the idea: I've been feeding the or
chard an unbalanced ration-it's had
nitrogen out of all proportion to the
other plant foods-its growth has
been abnormal
That's it exactly I replied.
suggested dropping the mulching for
a few years and using Phosphoric
Acid and Potash to balance the ex-
cessive amount of nitrogen already
in the soil. This appealed to him.
Since then he has been balancing
the soils ration, and profitable fruit
crops have been the result.

for the nomination, Senator Brad

co. villa has been exploited'in mum.
Der Of American newspapers as be-
ing still in command Of the situation.
One Of the journals thus imposed up
on has practically repudiated its news
story in it's editorial comment, where
in 1t was right, both morally and
actually.
The most interesting part of the
Generals interview, in which. to the
knowing. he was careful to avoid
anything like detail. is his explana-
tion of why Guitterez. the man he
had placed in the provisional presi-
dency ad interim. left it and fed the
capital, leaving Carranza and his men
to come back and take the possess
sion which they still hold. Quit
terez,in his fight, charged Villa with
treachery and betrayal. Villa
/, charges the same thing against Cult
terez, and attempts to explain why
he had not a force at hand to defend
the seat of government against his
enemies, by saying that the seat of
government in Mexico is not a point
OF sufficient strategic or political i'm
pOrtance to he worth defending. The
Government Of Mexico. says Villa,
can be conducted as we'll at one place
as another, hut adds that when he
wants the capital he will go and take
II.
II has long been plain to the ini-
tiated that Villa does not want le-
gal and well-established government
in Mexico. He thrives better with
out one. In the northern states of
chihuahua and Sonora, and such
western states as Jelisco and Sinal0a,
he has hitherto been able to COM
mand the following. villa was
against Huerta, waich has idea,ized
him among such as either forget or
do not know that. before Huerta. he
was against Madero. Since such
generals as Obregon and Villareal
have abandoned him. his prospect OF
ever taking the capital again is re-
mote. but SO long as he can hold on
in two or three northern and western
states he can still keep a revolution
going In Mexico which may move Mr..
Wilson to withhold recognition from
any government he opposes. With
Mr.. Wilson's personal feeling as
strong against the idividual Carranza
as 1t was against ''the individual
Huerta," it is possible that Villa may
long continue a predatory warfare,
financed by interests with private
ends TO serve. But his star has
passed it's zenith.

BUREAU Of Mines
MAKES ITS REPORT
2,4sl Men Lose Lives Under
Earth in the Year
1914.


casulty list for the army OF three
quarters Of a million men employed
In American coal mines just made
public by the United States Bureau
OF Mines, shows that 2.451 men were
killed.
Comparing the deaths with the
year 1913, there is q decrease of 334,
or ene man less for nearly every day
10 the year.
Shocking is the violent death OF
2,451 men in a years time by a
peaceful industry" said Van II. Man
ming, acting director Of the bureau,
"the men Of the bureau who are en-
gagged in the campaign to reduce this
casulty list find, in comparisons with
other years, some facts that are rath-
! or comforting and some indications
that the improvement noted in the
saving Of life will be further accen-
tuated as the years pass.
I'm the first place. coal mining in
1914 cost the lives of 3.3 men in ev-
I cry 1000 employed, while in the year
1913, the death rate was 3.73. That
reduction alone means a saving of
more than 800 lives.
''The number of miners killed for
every one million tons of coal mined
in 1914 was 4.S1. In the year 1918
there were 4.S9 miners killed for
overy one million tons mined. With
the exception of the year 1912. the
1914 rate is the lowest yet recorded
for the United States.
"The amount of coal produced for
each miner killed in 1914 was 2OS,-
O7S tons, which is the largest amount
= on record with the exception of the
year 1912.
"There were 316 lives lost in dis
asters- in which more than FIVE men
were killed, which is a reduction of
14S deaths when compared with the
disasters of 1918.
when the Bureau of Mines began
it's work, the great cause of great dis
asters in the coal mines of the Unit
cd States. was the explosion of coal
: dust. This phase of the problem was
taken up more vigorously than any
other and II is indeed gratifying to
the bureau that the explosions from
coal dust in 1914 have decreased Sc
per cent from the previous year.
= while the Bureau Of Mines Is
leading in this national movement
to reduce the number of deaths in
the mines. IL realizes fully that not
much progress could be made, were 1t
not for the helpful cooperation 1t OBJ
tains from the state bureaus, the
miners themselves. the operators and
Improvement being made may right
fully be credited to closer and more
careful inspection by the State in
spectors; better enforcement OF laws
and regulations by the operators; a
better realization of the dangers at
tendant upon the miner in>his daily
work and his efforts to reduce acci-
dents due to the educational cam
paign conducted In his behalf; the
extended use Of safety lamps In
doubtful mines; the use of permissi
BILE explosives that have been passed
upon the Bureau OF Mines; the wet
ting of dusty mines to prevent ex-
plosions OF coal dust; the hrst-aid
and rescue training which saves lives
that otherwise might be lost by
reason of injuries received; the en-
actment Of Industrial accident COM
