CAN'T MOVE WHEAT CROP.
Approximately 12,0oo,ooo Bushels II
Pacific Northwest Unmarketed.

PacIflc NorthW0St OHnaTk6t0d.
Portland. Ore. Jan. 21 Figures
compiled by grain exporters show that
approximately 100000 bushels of
1915 wheat remains In the Pacific
northwest unmarketed, due to the
practical impossibility Of getting
steamers or sailing vessels to carry it
to foreign markets. About forty ves-
sells would be required TO move the
wheat still on hand. Only sufficient
tonnage is under charter to move
100000 bushels.
AS a measure Of partial relief large
amounts of wheat are being sent by
rail to New York.

FOUND VALUABLE DYES.
Shoe Salesman is 1878 Richer As
Result of Supposed Joke.

Webster City, Ia, Aug. THE
original lucky guy lives in Web
ster City.
His name is Nathan Boynoff and
he just tumbled onto $37S because
some friends back east tried to pull
a hoax on him by filling a box of
clothes that belonged to him with
some supposed worthless junk that
now turn out to be genuine German
dyes worth on the open market just
an even s42 per pound.
Mr.. Boynoff was formerly a travel
ing salesman with headquarters in
Sprin gfield, lIass. He sold shoes and
used to experiment good deal with
different dyes in an effort to find
something suitable for dying shoes.
He woud buy good many dyes for
this purpose.
When he came to Webster City
four years ago, he left some clothes
and other things in Spria gfield AMI
some time ago wrote for them His
friends packed them and then, just
for good measure filled the box with
all the dyes he had in the place.
While down in his cellar cleaning
up, Mr.. Boynoff ran upon this old box
of clothes, opened it up and, just
through curiosity, looked closely at
the cans he found. They were Ger
man dyes-nine pounds of them
made by FarbeIfabriken of Eden
field, Germany, which company made
practically all the dyes that recently
reached America on the Deutsch-
| land.

Hits the Nail on the Head.

The itinerant peddler is destroy
er of local business enterprises. He
pays no taxes, he pays no rent, hires
no help, buys no clothing or lumber
or hardware or jewelry of the local
merchants. He employees no local at
torney, patronizes no local dentist,
contributes to no local church or
fraternal organization. Because OF
these things We impose license fee
upon him in order to force him to
nelp pay local governmental expenses
and also give the local business men
the protection to which they are just
ly entitled. For exactly the same rea
son, We impose import customs du-
ties upon foreigners who ship goods
into this country. We do not believe
in system of government revenue
which makes the home business mar
pay all the taxes and then permits
the foreigner to sell his cheap goods
here free. We believe in high i'm,
port taxes for two reasons-to make
the foreigner pay for the privilege
of doing business here and to pro-
tect the home business man. This is
not partisan politics, it is plain bust
ness sense. The political party which
will not support such policy is not
merely lacking in political sagacity
1t is lacking in business sense. We
would not stand for city council
that repealed thea peddlers' license
nor will we stand tor a national ad-
ministration that repeals the protec-
| tive tariff duties.-Laurens Sun.

The fact of Mr.. Meredith's en-
dorsement of the single tax theory
is not getting him anything in the
favor OF the landowners in Iowa.
The single takers are followers of
Henry George in the idea that all tax
should be raised on land. They hold
that since all wealth comes either
directly or indirectly from the land,
land should be the only form Of prep
erty taxed. The manufacturer /r re-
finer, who often makes many times
the Profit the man does who works
the land, is thereby excluded, and
the man who sells his land for mo-
ney is relieved Of all burden Of taxa

Willing to Pay Twice as Much.

One Wayerly business man who
pays an automobile tax besides his
other taxes, said to us the other day
that he would be willing to pay
twice as much on his car if ne could
see that the roads were made better.
But he said the roads out Of Waverly
were no better today than they were
when he bought his car, five years
ago He also said his taxes had near
ly doubled during the past seven
years. The average taxpayers are
not kicking because their taxes are
so high. But they are kicking be-
cause they see no better improve
ments when they are paying $50 road
taxes than they did when they paid
only SIS into the road fund. And
yet We believe that the average roads
are getting some better every year,
even in Bremen Waverly

SUFFRAGE ORGANIZER TO IOWA
Suffra9ists Start Campaign For Su-
san Ii. Anthony Amendment.

Des Moines, Aug. An effort to
arouse enthusiasm in Iowa for the
so-called Susan B. Anthony amend
ment to the United States constitu-
tion granting suffrage to women, is
being made in Iowa by Miss Vivian
Pierre, of San Francisco, CAL, who
has been appointed state organizer
for the Congressional Union For Wo-
man Suffrage, the organization back
iins the amendment.
According to leaders of the move
Iment, great difficulty is being exper-
fenced in this state as result of the
recent defeat OF the state suffrage
amendment, but the idea is growing
that suffrage is suffrage, whether
state or national" and the converts
are beginning to register under the
union standard.
At least 500 women from all sec
tions of the state are expected to at
tend the conference next Friday at
which state organization of the un-
ion will be formed and plans discus
sed for active campaigning for the
federal suffrage amendment. Lead
Crs ~ the increment SAID tciay an
effort would be made to bring to the
attention of President Wilson, prior

rection of the amendment from the
judiciary committee of the senate
where according to suffragists, it has
been buried.

The war department out of the
goodness OF its heart has permitted
guarGsmen, who have families to
support, to secure their discharge
and return to their homes. These are
men who have already been taken
TO the border and many of them are
a long way from home. But the de-
partment refuses to pay their rail-
road fare and many of the poor fel-
lows who were willing and ready TO
fight for their country had it been
necessary are compelled to appeal
to relatives and friends back home
for funds with which to buy tickets.

present democratic administration

The fallacy of the free trade ar
gument has never Deen better illus
trated than in that of shoes, says the
Lake Park News. 1t was asserted
and argued that the poor man woulI
be benefited by the removal of the
tariff on hides and leather, as the
prices would be reduced. What has
been the result? From the time the
law went into effect until the pres
ent there has been a constant in
crease in the price of shoes, and it
is the same with every article that
has ever been placed on the free
list. AS long as this is a demon
strated fact, American industries
might better be encouraged and
built up by reasonable protective
tariff rather than to have the Al
throttled and destroyed by the COM
petition of cheap labor throughout
