$50,o0o,o00 REVENUE

Under the present new tariff
law, sugar goes on the free list
on May !, 1916. The duty has
already been reduced about 25
per cent. If the duty now in
force is retained. it is estimated,
it woul.. net $50, 600, 900 annual
ly.
The President is reluctant to
repeal the free sugar. proyiso
for several reasons. One of these
is the strong lobby already or
ganized and working vigorously
to that very end. Another rea-
son advanced is that the Presi-
dent himself insisted, when tie
new law was being framed, up
on the sugar tariff reduction.
Needs of the Treasury for
more revenue and the political
effect in Louisiana, Colorado,
California, and other sugar"
states are considerations in fav.
or of modifying the schedule.
It is also reported that the Ad-
ministration is considering fur
thr slight tariff charges, to pro-
vide additional revenue, by in
creasing duties on liquors. and
also possibly an extention of the
income tax to smaller incomes.
Charging that persistent ef-
forts of liquor interests at Wash
ington are responsible for the
Observation-Disclosures. op-
,,onents Of free sugar in Louisl-

day. They are taken from the
Book of Exodus:
l. And if a man shall open a
pit, or if a man shall dig a pit,
ana not cover it up and an OK or
an ass fall therein; the owner of
the pit shall make it good and
give money unto the owner of
them; and the dead beast shall
be his.
z. And one mans OK hurt an
other that he die; then shall they
sell the live OK and divide the
money of it; and the dead OK al
50 shall they divide.
3. Or, lift be known that the
OK hath used to push in time
past and his owner hath not
Kept him in; he shall surely pay
OK Tor OK, and the dead OK shall
be his own.
4. If a man shall steal an OK
or a sheep and kill it or sell it;
ne shall restore five oxen for OK,
and four sheep for a sheep.
5. If a man shall cause a
Held or vineyard to be eaten and
shall put in his beast and shall

The Farmer and the Saloon.

A farmer who resides in Walls
township was recently discussing
county option with the writer and
stated his views as follows:
II am not a prohibitionist and. I
drink glass of beer when l feel that
I want it, but saloons have never
made dollar for me that know of,
while l am sure they have cost me
many. l never drink enough to harm
me nor interfere with my business,
but the majority of the men hire
can't use the stuff that way. When
they go to town they make hogs of
themselves and fill up until they make
a nuisance to themselves and every
body else. Usually they bring a bot
tie or two home with them and as a
rule it is three or four days or a
week before they get Strengthened up
in condition to do mans work. Dur
ing harvest and threshing time that
sort of thing is extremely aggravating
as every hour wasted is loss to me
as it is to every farmer who must
employ help. Saloons are of no bene.
fit to me nor anyone else in the coun-
ty, so far as know, and 1 shall pro-
tect my own interests by voting
against them.-Wheaton Gazette-Re-
