Church OF Christ
HAS BEST YEAR IN
entire EXISTENCE

ISOLATION Is Prospecting.

Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 14.-The
best year of the thirty the National
Benevolent association of the Church
of Christ has been in existence was
the fiscal year just closed according
to the annual report submitted to the
national convention Of the church here
today.
The report called attention to new
worlds record for low infant mortal
ity, saying, "Your institution in Oma-
ha, Nebraska, with an average family
of thirty-five babies under one year
old, has broken the worlds record for
low mortality. Its record for last
year was three-quarters of one per
cent of deaths"
The report announced as it's great
est single achievement, "the opening
on April II, 1916, Of the Christian
Church hospital Of Kansas City"
"While not part of the associations
work." said the report, "as are its
other institutions this hospital was
started, fostered and made possible
by officers of the association"
The total receipts from all sources,
said the report, during the year were
1902 1854, a gain over any previous
year of $66,573.75. The amount re-
ceived from churches showed a gain
of $4,S28.OS; from Bible schools $5,-

THE ALDERMAN DIDN'T BAT AN EYE.

Quite casually and a matter of course Alderman
Forbes the last meeting of the city council outlined
plan for the expenditure of $l250O000 less. The
proposal was made and not alderman hatted an eye.
1t been discussed the streets and the general
impression prevails that the expenditure of $l25,OOO is
the proper caper The remarkable feature of the whole
is that the people of Caldwell again dis
cussing improvements. 1t indicates that much better
feeling prevails than has existed for several years past
The improvements suggested by Mr.. Forbes need
ed and will probably be put in or later. We UNI
derstand that Mr. Forbes, Mayor Boyes and Attorney
Walters are looking the ground with the view
of submitting the matter the people. 1t is too early to
discuss the proposed improvements. Whether the plans
carried is worth remarking that the peo-
pie of Caldwell looking to the future with hope and
confidence They in manner discouraged They
feel that the march of progress to be resumed
later and discussion do no harm.
The Tribune respectfully suggests at this time that d
complete plan be made thoroughly discussed and finally
adopted The plan may take carry out but
step that is taken should be toward definite end. We
would also suggest that any work undertaken should be
carried through slowly There is plenty of time Haste
is demanded. Steady improvement through term
of years and toward definite end will be much better
than rapid improvements by jerks aternated with
of inactivity. This system will give home people steady
employment and be easier the taxpayer.

FREE GOoDS-LESS REVENUE

Imports to the value of $38.057.733
entered the Is principal customs dis
tricts of the United States for the
week ending December II, 1915. On
these imports the government realiz-
ed measly revenue of $4!O3o, 70o, or
an average duty rate of los per cent,
compared with an average duty rate
under Republican law of between ~
and % per cent. About 20 per cent
of our imports are now coming in free
of duty, which, according to the
Democratic theory, should decrease
the cost of living. Nevertheless, the
index numbers recently compiled by
Bradstreet show a steady rise in the
cost of living, proof that the tariff has
nothing tosdo with the matter. Our
imports today have reached in volume
the Democratic low duty normal, and
the Treasury deficit has reached
characteristic Democratic proportions.
The only benehciaries of the Demo-
cratic tariff law have been the import
ers who bring in articles free of duty
to compete with domestic production
in the American market. If the Re-
publican duty rates were in force there
would be no necessity for the extern
sion of the war revenue measure. Yet,
in addition to that extension. the or
der has gone forth to raise still more
revenue by means of direct taxes.

nothing else the matter but the state OF Idaho There is
not dollar paid by you men and women but what is
Maid ont or levied by the authority and in the of the
