Uncle Sans coast guards soon viii

gers and sailors from ships wrecked
along the coast OF the United States.
Authority for the adoption of these
new llfe-saving methods already has
been granted by congress.
Ii is quite naturally the idea of
officials that In the saving Of human
life and property from the elements,
which is one of the principal functions
of the coast guard. advantage should
be taken OF all new inventions and
methods. Officials of the guard are
of the opinion that aviation has adj
as now constructed and developed can
be used adyantageously In the actiyi-
ties of the coast guard.
1t has been pointed out by those who
are interested la this new branch of
the service that when a shipwreck oc-
ours too far from the shore to be
reached with the line-throwing gun,
and the state of the sea makes it Inn
possible to use the service boats. 1t Is
believed possible to carry d line TO
| the wreck by means of an airplane,
and thereby effect the rescue of per-
sons who might otherwise perish. The
| finding of derelicts soon after they are
first reported Is of such vital impor.
tance that their ultimate recovery and
removal from the paths of commerce
ofttimes depends entirely upon the
rapidity with which they are definitely
located, the experts say. The value
| of aiEplanes In this connection has
| passed beyond the realm of specula.
| ton, and there is now no doubt that
the use of aircraft will greatly facili.
tate this important work of the coast
guard. the supporters Of the move
ment say.
| Anticipating that the coast guard
must adopt this new method of life
saving as soon as practicable, three jul
nlor officers have already been as
signed to undergo training at nava
aviation and private schools, in order
to form the nucleus of d force trained
for aviation purposes. Aside from tht
humanitarian possibilities Of this prop
osition, it Is pointed out that aviation
facilities provided for the coast guars
will be valuable addition to nava
aviation equipment in time of war. 4

MUCH CHOCOLATE USED HERE
imports Of Crude Cocoa During Past
Year Reach Total of 243,232,000,
Double Figures of 1916.

! That people Of the United States
have growing fondness for choco-
Iates and cocoa is indicated by Uncle
Sans figures on the imports Of crude
cocoa into the United States during
the last fiscal year. According to
statistics compiled by the department
of commerce, a total OF 243,232,000
pounds of crude cocoa were purchased
abroad dufing the year, which is 3d.
O00, 1000 pounds more than was bought
in 1915 aud double the imports of
1910. The value of the imports In
1915 was S34,144.O00.
This is not to be accounted for by
decreased imports of manufactured
cocoa and chocolate, because we are
buying such products in about the
usual quantities. Nor is 1t because we
are shipping abroad larger quantities
OF prepared cocoa and chocolate 1t is
due solely to a growing taste for choco-
late and cocoa. especially the former.
An unusual feature Of the growing
trade Is the fact that some of the
lproducing countries are now shipping
to the United States direct instead Of
/ through European middlemen. One
Instance in 1915 was q direct shipment
OF 25.OOO 600 pounds from British West
/ Africa, imports from which country
heretofore reached the United States
| via England. There were marked In
lcreases In shipments from Brazil, Por.
Itugak and French Africa and a sharE

MEXICO OIL TAX EXPLAINED.
Export Levy Declared Designed to
= Encourage Home Refining.

Engineer Antonio Madraso. in charge
of the subsecretaryship of finance and
public credit of Mexico. has made a
statement in regard to the Mexican
policy of taxing exports of petroleum,
in which he says:
The imposts lately decreed tax pc
'troleum at rate more equitable than
formerly. No crude or fuel petroleum
or its derivatives sold in the country
rs taxed. which use. as is well under
stood. is very considerable. 1t is thus
sought to induce the producers and re-
liners to reduce the price of these
products for the benefit of the national
Industries.
I'm order to protect the refining in
'dustry in the country there was estab-
.ffshed in general a lower tax for the
refined distillates than on the crude dis
tillates. as well as higher tax on the
crude oil for expectation than on the
fuel oil.
THE basis for the collection of the
taxes was also changed. placing II on
the value of the petroleum in order to
make IL more equitable"

AN UNJUST LAW

Congress is not a bit enthusiast
about revising the war tax legislation
enacted IN the last session We
needn', wonder about that. remember.
ing what troublesome job ii was.
Hut some of that Legislation will have
to be revised just the same, particu.
larly the income tax Law Nobody
knows what il means, and some parts
OF il are grossly unfair.
The provision most criticised is
that which imposes 4 special tax OF
per cent on salaries of professional
men in addition t. the normal income
tax. II works with cruel injustice in
the case OF lawyers. doctors. dentists.
college professors. store managers
and others whose income is derived
not from invested capital. but from
special skill This Il a discriminatory
tax on special ability developed at
considerable effort and expense. and
Il tax on earnings which cease the
moment the possessor of that ability
ceases to apply it
Ii there Is to be any sort OF dis.
elimination, il had better be apains,
incomes which represent mearned
capital rather than useful service.
Congress may as well reconcile il.
self to the fact that Il will have no
rest untll i undoes this wrong.

DREAMS OF GOLD
AND EASE FADE

Washington, D. c., May 28.-With
dreams of wealth unrealized and faith
in promoters destroyed, homesick
American negroes have petitioned the
acting governor Of the Gold Coast
colony in Africa to send them back to
Texas and other southwestern states,
which they left in 1914 under the sway
OF the arguments of Chief Sam" who
pictured lives Of ease. The negroes
turned over to Sam" varying sums of
money with the understanding that he
would land them on the gold coast
where they would receive titles to
their own land.
Ambassador Spring Rice has notified
the state department that the indica.
tons are that "Chief Sam grossly
misled tie immigrants and finally de-
serted them, leaving many in destitu-
ton.

PRICES WERE
LOW IN 1912
COST OF LIVING SEvENTY-FiVE
YEARS AGO MUCH LESS
THAN TODAY.

With the prices that have ruled IN
Iowa for the past year and more espe-
cially during last winter and the pres
ent time, a glance back over old files
, OF newspapers printed seventy years
ago will show the low cost OF living
in those days. Times have changed
and conditions in every way are differ
ent. Wages and manner of living have
also changed with the prices. What
food cost when grandfather was IN
short pants and what 1t costs TO-DAY
shows some difference in prices.
Good cows for ten dollars esch; pork
for one dollar per hundred: wheat at
twenty cents bushei; corn Tor ten
cents bushel These are not present
day prices. They prevailed in Iowa
during the winter Of 1923 following
the panic of that year and in the midst
of the severest winters known since
the first settlements were made n the
state
Great suffering ensued despite the
low prices. Money was very scarce. 1t
commanded from Is to 40 per cent in
terest and the currency in circulation
was OF doubtful value.
Snow began to fall early IN No7cm.
Der and this snow remained on the
ground until April. The cold was in
tense with fierce winds. The success
sive SHOWS resulted in stand three to
four feet over many parts Of the state.
The settlers we're poorly prepared
for such a winter and great suffering
ensued Provisions became nearly ex-
hausted but prices did not rise as the
failure of banks had left the people
without money. Business of every kind
was Frustrated and the collection OF
debts became almost impossible.
Half-starved wolves prowled about
the settlements. Selling pigs, sheep
and poultry wherever they could be
found
The summer brought relief, however,
and the following year prosperity re-
turned to Iowa
