MORE WHISKY PRODUCED

A special from Washington dated May 13, says: " Notwith- standing the fact that prohibition laws have become effective in seven states since July 1, 1915, approximately 7,500,000 gallons more whisky has been produced in the United States so far dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30 than ever before. Returns to the internal revenue bureau ap- proximate the total increase for the year at 10000, 1000 gallons. During the same period the use of beer has fallen more than 1,50O, 900 gallons from last year figures. The total use of beer for the year ending June 30, it is estimated, will be about S6O,- 900, 900 less than it was in the last fiscal year.
 An extraordinary increase in the amount of cigars, cigarettes and tobacco is reported for the current year. The tax collected during the nine months ending March 31 shows an increase of approximately $5,000,OOO on to- bacco, which includes cigars and cigarettes, over the last fiscal year."

In Missouri there is a call for 70, 900 strawberry pickers," says the Joplin Globe, and adds, Nat urally such an army of workers IS not easy to obtain on short notice, and the chances are that ey reason of the good wages be- fng paid generally and the fact that there is plenty of work for all along other lines, it will be harder this year than ordinarily to get enough pickers.

YANKEES MAKE MACHINERY DO
 THE WORK.

It used to be said that the peo- pie of the South were lazy. Now it is coming to be recognized that we have been troubled more with
 lazy brains than lazy muscles.
 The farmers of the North don't
 work any harder than we do. In fact they don't work so hard-as anybody who knows who has seen them cultivating their corn If
 July. Away they go sitting on riding cultivators, while the Southern farmer, having only one horse and thererore going twice as often to the row, walks twice as far as the Northern farmer rides.
 The whole case is pretty well stated as follows by Bion Butler, who lived in Pennsylvania before he came to a Southern farm:
 It has been preached so long that some folks believe it, that the Yankee is an industrious, hustling fellow, and the Southern man is inclined to be lazy and indifferent. That is all wrong. The Yankee is the laziest man on earth, and you know l know the whole tribe. You never see a Massachusetts man do anything that he can get machinery to do for him. He will work patiently and consistently to build a ma- chine to do anything that he finds needs to be done. He must have a riding blow, a potato digger, a wood saw, a churn that runs with a gasoline engine, a machine to milk the COW. a machine to write with, a machine to figure with, a machine to do everything with.
 That is why the North made faster progress than the South. When the Civil War came it was not the Negro the abolitionist emancipated. It was the white men and women of the South. The Northern man was quicker to see that slave labor was an in- cubus and he lodged 1t long be- fore the South awakened to that fact. The Northern r,on was lucky enough to sec, e,,,s'G suF1 ulS1s .s1 ,'o is better srxM :zaoH eIa can be, soe- -e.-' ;, st man invented machinS -loner '' .. his slaves to the people south of the Pennsylvania boundary" "
 MT. Buffers statement is worth remembering. It stands to req son that it is cheaper to get work done by machines than by folks because folks have to be fed and clothed and housed, and machines only need housing and only enough of that to keep the rain off. We must copy the Massa- chusetts idea and make ma- chinery do the work" - The Progress Farmer.

A PLATFoRM OF TAXATION RE
 FCSNT

FORM
 Our own convictions about taxes may be briefly summarized as follows:
 1. The government ought to do more for the people than it now does. Itshould provide school books for the poor. It should provide old-age pensions for the aged. It should provide hospital facilities for the poor, unable to get them for themselves and their stricken little ones that expert help which money summons to restore health or save life for the rich. And the government should also provide a vastly bet ter system of education and do vastly more for the social vel fare. All this means that the government should have more money than now.
 2. All this extra money, how ever, should be raised, as a larger part of our present tax money. should be raised, by levying on unneeded surplus of the rich rather than on the hard-Won living of the poor.
 3. The justest and least in furious tax the world has ever known is the inheritance tax, and every state in the South should adopt (and enforce) the Arkansas law on this subject, after first doubling the exemp- tions and then doubling the rates on inheritances received by per- sons in Class B shown below.
 4. Income taxes should be levied, but only on the surplus above the amounts required to support a family comfortably; and even then the inheritance tax is less objectionable than the income tax.
 5. The poll tax should be abol- ished.
 6. Instead of taxing a man on S100 or $500 worth of property he doesn't own, as the poll tax does, we should exempt $500 in tools, equipment, furniture, etc., he does own.
 ". The tax rate on the first el, 900 worth of homestead (that d to say, ddfifhnigs' rlprm occupied S. Lo.safy did the' ceil5tg ts9 1J -. Iis. Q. '.,s sofIoulQ uG Unly one-half the rate levied on the surplus beyond $1, GOO. This will tend to encourage small home ownership, and tend to discour- age large holdings and absentee landlordism. 4.
 8. Land and improvements should be assessed separately, and all assessments published in the local press in the case of farm lands the rate per acre be ing given, listing lands, say, in each school district separately ]; and in the case of town lots, the rate per front foot should be given, each street appearing sep arately. In this way favoritism. will be exposed, and the present infamous tendency to assess large holdings at 8 lower rate than small holdings will be remedied.
 9. See that tax officials are experts and not mere politicians or tools of special interests or cliques. Progressive Farmer.

OUR DUTY TO MEXICO

true American could want war for wars sake. We are not that kind of people, and our inter- ests do not lie in that direction. But we are confronted with a sit uation in Mexico which is cal culated to exhaust the patience of any person with an ounce of red blood in his veins.
 It is time for us to stop quib- bling and do some real acting.
 Our states bordering upon Mexico are raided with impunity by outlaws and cutthroats who infest the northern section of that country. Our citizens are murdered or outraged and their property stolen or destroyed. The defacto government of Mexico is not only powerless to prevent these forays, but we have every reason for the belief that the authorities are making no effort whatever to check them.
 Every American city or town on the border is in constant dan ger of invasion by the bandit followers of the Mexican leaders. No home is safe from the de- stroyer, no feminine heart is ever devoid of tbe constantly increas- ing fear of the brutal ravisher.
 Under these conditions the duty of the United States is clear. The citizens of our border states are our own people, they are our own flesh and blood, and their in- terests are our interests. They are entitled to the protection of the whole nation, and as a nation it is our duty to afford them that protection. The government of Mexico will do nothing. It there fore is up to US to do something.
 We have waited for five years for the restoration of law and order in Mexico. and conditions are infinitely worse today than they ever were before. The fu- ture holds out no hope of any thing but unlimited and unbri- dled brigandage, an impossible condition for tiis country to longer tolerate because of, the constant menaSelto. o!la4.aWcAef=. pie and to our own interests.
 A sufficient force of American troops should be sent into north ern Mexico to restore normal conditions throughout that whole region, and another force should be sent to the border to afford ample protection to the people of those states. Gen. Funston has asked for 50,000 National Guard troops. He should have the whole 129, 900 members of the National Guard. And ifr they are not enough for the service required, then volunteer regiments should be raised to supply his every de- mand.
 And if the Mexican govern ment and the Mexican people do not like such action, and offer any united opposition to the cleaning up of this territory, then a great volunteer army of half million or even a million men should be spread over that country like a blanket, and not a man should be withdrawn until every bandit has been hung or driven from the country, law and order restored, a stable government established, and the Mexican people them selves demonstrate their ability to govern themselves in a man. ner acceptable to other nations.
 We do not covet a foot of Mex ican territory. We do not want any 5E3uble with Mexico if it can be honorably avoided. But conditions in that republic have reached the state where nothing but American bayonets and shot and shell will be of the slightest avail. They should get it, and without an unnecessary hour of I
