JUSTIFIES MEXICAN PLOT
Or. Alfred zimmerman Defends His
Course in Trying to Induce Japan
Attack Upon the United States.

London, April , The United
States virtually has declared war on
Germany and cannot deny Germany
the right to seek allies. DR. Alfred
Zimmerman, minister of foreign af-
fairs declared in the reichstag With
regard TO Berlin's attempt to embroil
Mexico and Japan with the American
nation.
Recalling President Wilson's plea To
all neutral powers to join the United
States in breaking of relations Herr
Zimmerman said
Every unprejudiced person must
see in this the hostile attitude of the
American government which seemed
TO consider it right, before being at
war with us, to set the whole world
against us.
Hugo Hasse, leader of the Socialist
minority in the reichstag, remarked
that the German offer OF an alliance
with Mexico had aggravated the sit
uation with the United States ana Or.

THE FINAL RECKONING

The futility of peace without Wet
ory," as President Wilson phrased 1t
last winter, or of peace without an
the Russians are now putting it, is
shown by the inspired outgivings of
the Austrian press. These sybilline
editors are setting forth the aims of
Austria-Hungary in the war. These
comprise the disappearance of Serbia,
the control of the Balkan Peninsula,
the curtailment of Italian territory,
and whacking indemnities. 1t is not to
be supposed that Austria's ally will
be more generous. A nation hat null
cted France in 1871 for an indemnity
twice the amount of the cost of the
war and that kept an army on French
soil until the last pfennig was paid
is not likely to pocket her own wal
expenses now, in case she happens to
be victorious. The word Indemnity
may not be employed; we may speak
of compensation" instead. The word
annexation" may not be even whis-
pered; the talk may be of "readjust-
ment" instead. But the end of the war
will find the victorious ready with
their claims-all but this country.
We shall be seeking no mans lani
demanding no mans money. We shall
ask only that we be given assurance
of peace and the liberty to go on with
u won task without the menace Of
war. We shall desire to have repaid
the loans which we have made the al
lies. of course; we shall not be finicky
if repayment is made from moneys
taken from the defeated Central Pow
ers.

r LOYALTY is
NOT TREASON

The little passage-at-arms between
Senators Harding and Lewis over the
result of the special election in New
Hampshire was amusing-but it also
had its serious side. Senator Lewis
went to New Hampshire to speak for
the administration. He had a prepared
address which he gave out to the
newspapers in advance. In it he adj
jured the New Hampshire voters to
support a Democrat for Congress lest
be charged with treason and dishonor.
Their choice, he asserted, was be-
tween Wilson and the Kaiser, between
liberty and Prussianism. The falsity
of this issue was readily perceived by
the people of New Hampshire, and
Senator Harding was fully justified
in calling the attention of the Senate
to it. There will be other Congress-
ional elections; indeed. one is even
now impending in Indiana. There will
be an attempt to raise this same false
issue there. Senator Lewis may not be
the administrations spokesman-but
someone will be on the job. We do not
think that Indiana, any more than
New Hampshire, will deem it a proper
way to show loyalty to the country by
abandoning loyalty to ones principles

NO EXEMPTION FOR KIDDIEs

Representative e Mccormick
of Illinois vas the author, during the
consideration of the revenue bill in
the House, of an amendment to the
income tax feature which very likely
would have been adopted If it had not
been the purpose of the Democrats
to push the bill through as nearly as
reported by the committee as possible.
AS passed by the house the bill allo ~
ed an exemption in the payment Of
the income tax of $4,000 for every
head of a family. and Mr.. McCormick's
proposition was to add to that exemp-
ton 5000 for each minor child depen-
dent spon the taxable parent. AS the
bill passed the House a mar might

titled to 40 more exemption than a

RACk no BEET SUGAR

In a report on the'beet sugar indus
try in the United States the Federal
Trade Commission finds that the
manufacture of beet sugar had devel-
oped from three mills in 1870 to Is
mills in 1914, which is the last year
covered by the investigation. In 1914
these mills produced 100000 tons of
beet sugar, or is per cent of the
country's consumption for that year
and 1914 was a bad year for the beet
sugar boys because of the cut in the
tariff duties and because sugar was
scheduled for the free list in May,
1916, a provision in the Wilson Under
wood law which the Democrats were
quick to repeal when they found what
a wretched revenue producer the tar
IF law was.
When not arguing to convince the
jury the Democrats almost invariably
let slip some statement which makes
good Republican argument for pro
lection, and this report of the COM
mission is no exception, for it is said:
Rapid development of the industry
since 1897 has been largely due TO
direct encouragement by the Federal
and State governments, Particularly
the former Now 1897 was the rear
the DINGHY tariff law went into effect
which restored to the country the
American policy of protection after
the narrowing experiences under the
Wilson German law. From that year
up to the passage of the present law
there was a steady development in all
branches of the sugar industry in the
United States. beet and cane. Follow
ing the passage of the present law,
and up to the time the wal broke out
the industry was staggering to the
cliff of bankruptcy. When President
Wilson declared that all business
questions eventually got back to the
tariff question he absentmindedly
made a statement which the history
of the American sugar industry long
ago proved to be true.

TAKE CARE OF THE


When the railroads of the country
after a long period of improbable
operation, began to show gains in
their earnings all the railway-baiting
politicians were quick to call atten-
ton to the phenomenon and to init
mate that if the railways were max
ing money they would not need help
from legislation. The fact is, however.
and every candid Investigator of the
situation is aware of it, that the rail
roads are in a perilious position, the
result of legislation which has inter-
fered with the operation of natural
business laws, and that unless early
steps are taken for their relief, they
will suffer seriously, and the country
will suffer with them, for this country
cannot be solidly prosperous unless
its transportation industry is prosper
Gus too.
That present railway prosperity is
only apparent, not real, is indicated
on every hand. Here are figures re-
lating to a single road: From Septem-
Der 1916. to March l. 1917, the Pennsyl
vania system did an increased bust
ness of SIT, 500. 900 over the anne sew
en- months the year before-but after
1t got through paying the increased
cost Of operation, it had s12. 400. 900
less money left in the treasury. In
other words, the Pennsylvania was
$12, 400, 900 worse off during the above
period than during the same seven
months the year before-even though
it had collected ST, 500, 900 more from
the public. The New York Central
system has shared generously in the
war prosperity"-and yet only re-
Gently it failed to float an issue Of
new securities for the money of which
1t had an imperative need. The inves-
ting public would be quick to buy
railway securities if it consered
them a good purchase. 1t looks be
hind the increased expense.
The sixty million dollars per an
mum which the Adamson law forces
the carriers to pay to their employees
is only one of the many elements In
the railway high cost of living. An
other is the rise in coal. Careful in
vestigation, based on the present and
prospective coal market, reveals the
fact that American railways will be
compelled to pay $40, 900, 900 more
for fuel during 1917 than they did
during 1916. The railroads often are
blamed when there is a a shortage.
In a powerful effort to relieve the car
shortage, American railroads during
last year have purchased 1885,
900 new freight cars and 5000 new
locomotives at a total cost of $50, 000.-
300. Since this equipment was pur-
chased at an increased cost of approx
Imately 100 per cent, it can be seen
that on these two items alone the
railroads were compelled to pay a tri-
butte of $780, 00, 900 to the "high cost
Of living" And this does not take into
account an advance of many millions
Tor other supplies and materials.
There is 70 excuse for haggling
the grant of permission to the
railways to increase their freight
fifteen per cent.-Milwaukee

Poultry a Good War CrOp,

Poultry has been called the crou
that never fails. II offers one of thu
best ways of increasing food produc-
ton on short notice. Poultry uses
feed more economically probably than
any other class of farm animals when
Il Is carefully handled. Il will pro-
duce mound of meat ar eggs on four
pounds of grain. when protein concen-
tratcs are fed. Pullcts will begin lay
ing In from q to 5 months. Cockcrcls
are ready for market at the age of
II to III weeks.
According Ia II. l.. Kempster, of the
University of Missouri College of Az
riculture. there Is good money in
poultry and eggs il the flock is prom
erly managed. Very little capital is
required and expensive stock and
equipment are unnecessary. Careful
management and feeding are more
Important than expensive equipment.
The College Of Agriculture has issued
a number of publications which will
be invaluable to the average farmer
and to the man who makes poultry
Keeping business. A recent publica-
ton, Circular 50, Protein Feeds for
Laying Hens, offers some valuable
suggestions on feeding. Extension
Service Circular 20, The Story of a
backyard Flock, contains some good
suggestions for the man who has linn
tied facilities for egg production. The
last circular will be helpful to the
city dweller who wishes to produce
his own eggs.
