Cause and Effect

An old chain of and effect sometimes given
in political economies reads: The man eats more bread
to get more strength to do more work to earn more
pay to buy more bread to get strength to do
work to get more pay, and on. The news that the
Krupps of Germany are not to divide the enormous
profits from their munOn factories for the benefit of
the stockholders but after the usual fat dividends have
been paid will pay the surplus profits s60ooooo for
the relief of soldiers families reminds Of the old
chain This extraordinary profit by being distributed
throughout Germany for the benefit of soldiers families
will send back the wounded soldier to the trenches
bud I'D youth to soldier age, and encourage war, so
that Germany will have more men to be shot at, who
will therefore need ammunition to shoot back
with the Krupps will have more ORDERS more orders
will hiring more profits these will be divided after
tbe Stockholders have their shares the rest will go
building up the soldiers families and the circle is COM
pleted and started again.

Gasoline Is Thin Beverage For Motor Cars
Will Always Run An Auto Down Hill Perfectly

GasOlene is composed Of Pennsyl-
vania crude oil and plain, unfermented
river water at the ratio of is to l. The
free coinage of gasolene in this country
has become so prevalent that this ratio
varies from 16 to l TO 1 TO Is, with the
result that thousands OF automobile
owners have to stop on the public high
way and swab out the carburetOr with
sponge. 1t is extremely annoying to
a conscientious tourist to stop at way
side garage and pay 20 cents a gallon
for gasolene, and then discover little
later that he might just as well have
turned in at the town pump.
The price Of gasolene is controlled
by a board of directors who do not ride
i'm anything but steam yachts, and is
sold in large quantities to people who
have not paid a grocery bill since the
Spanish American war. This price
varies from week to week. and for some
time has been varing upward in series
Of heart-rending leaps But we are
so constituted as a people that We
can get along without meat and flour
and underwear easier than gasOlene,
which enables US to visit relatives who
do not own a car ami trade joy rides

According TO rumOrs that have
reached Austin that .-exicans who now
are prisoners in state prisons in Texas
are to be deported as soon as their
terms expire.
II there is such a plan on foot, to be
done under provisions Of the federal
immigration law. neither the governor
nor the attorney general know any
thing of the plan. When asked as to
details of the proposition. which was
reported to have been recided upon,
governor Ferguson stated that II was
entirely new to him. and attorney gen
eral LOoney likewise remarked that
the matter had never been submitted
to his department for consideration.
Claims 1t Is Federal Move.
According to rumOre that have
reached here. failure to comply with
the federal immigration laws, on entry
into this country. would be n basis for
deportation of the Mexican prisoners.
1t is pointed out by those familiar with
federal immigration laws that this
ground would be sufficient for depOrta-
tion. whether parties were cOnvicts or
not The immigration laws are also
very broad in allowances for depOrta-

TREE PLANTING TIME.

There is general impression that the time to
plant trees is in the spring. With the approach
of summer people seem much more interested in
plans of Improvement. They are making gar
dens and cleaning up grounds, and it is easy to
turn their minds to ideas of Identification with
foliage.
But according to experts, there is no time
better suited for tree planting than the fall
There is less demand then on the sapling for vi
tality, and it can spend its energy in acquiring
roots.
The beauty Of a town is more dependent on
tree growth than any other thing. No matter
how attractive the exterior of the homes.
they will look bare and desolate unless partly
screened by trees. And street of small homes
has an appearance Of sordidness unless Dor
dered by growth Of foliage.
1t is surprising how many defects are COW
cred by tree growth. Houses may need paint
ing but if there are beautiful trees in the street

PANAMA CANAL TOLLS.

A new question concerning Panama canal
tolls has been raised by General Goethals, who
says that under the present system this govern
ment is in effect charging higher rates to
American ships using the waterway than it is
to other nations, particularly those flying the
British flag. It seems that under the plan of
collecting on registered net tonnage, only the
freight carried below decks pays toll, and, ac-
cording to General Goethals, British steamship
lines have found it profitable at Panama, as
they have in their use of the Suez canal, to
provide ships constructed to carry heavy car
goes on deck. Attention should be given to his
informal recommendation that all vessels be re-
quired to pay tolls according to their ability to
produce revenue. This plan would be fair to
the ships of all nations, and General Cocktails
is quoted as saying that under the system of
collecting and meaured by the earning power of
each ship the United States would soon see the
canal paying interest on the money invested.
His suggestion is wise. There will be rapid de-
velopment Of canal traffic after the war; and of
course American ships should not be required
to pay more than their share of the tolls.
