SWISS MILK OUTPUT OFF
All European Countries Affected by
Smaller Production

According to tho Central Office for Price
Reports of the Swiss Farmers Association
In BruEE, the milk production during the
first quarter Of 1917 decreased considerably
in all European countries and particularly
in Switzerland, Austria-H Hungary, Italy and
France The principal reason seems to have
been the scarcity the poor quality, and in
certain regions an almost absolute lack of
all sorts Of stock foods.
In order to increase the production and
regulate the consumption Of milk i'm Switzer-
land, the Swiss Federal Council has dele
gated to the Federal Economics Department
supervision over the contracts for the de-
livery Of milk to the dairies and for other
industrial purposes with view of reserv-
ing in all cases sufficient milk for general
consumption.
This department was also authorized to
fix maximum price for milk delivered at
the collecting stations. which has from the
hrst of the present month, been fixed AT
24l2 C2ntimes G.73 cents) per kilo G .
pounds), or 22l2 centimes N.34 cents) in
cases in which the Curds (Schotte) are re-
turned to the producers.
The price for milk for consumption has
also recently been increased and provision
has been made by the officials to enable peo-
pie of limited means TO obtain milk at re-
duced prices The ordinary milk for con-
sumption in Zurich now costs 80 centimes
t6.37 cents) per liter G.1O5 uuarts) but
until just recently il cost only 27 centimes
t5.21 cents), The price of milk for pcople
OF limited means in this city is stiu 27
Centimes.

A company capitalized at 100000 and
Incorporated under the laws of the State
Of New York was recently organized for tho
purposes Of opening up and developing a
new sugar estate in the Dominican Repub-
lie. II has purchased about SO, 900 acres Of
virgin land in the Barahona district, en-
hraCing territory on both sides Of the Yauue
River of the south near ITS outlet. The De-
partment Of Commerce, Washington, also
says that II is planned to utilize the La
guna Rincon, which is situated a short
distance west Of the river, as a reservoir,
and it Is estimated that the work necessary
to install this system and prepare the estate
for the purpose the company has in mind
will involve an outlay Of S1,OOOOOO to

DON'T TREAD ON ME-"

The early New England colonists
at one time banner upon which
We're inscribed the words quoted
above, the idea being that resentment
at the oppression OF a German king
on the English throne could not in
definitely be held down and that
sooner or later the oppressed would
turn and strike the toot that trod
upon them. Which was Just what
did occur a little later. We are forci-
bly, reminded of this by the recent
suggestion in some quarters that a
failure TO speedily remedy the exist
ing food tyranny would result in a
nationwide uprising. We do not be-
liove any such uprising will occur, not
but what the people are rapidly get
ting IA a humor TO do desperate
things, but because we have faith
tina; the government will apply the
remedy before IL is too late. Only
altogether insufferable conditions
with no hope Of relief by other means
would bring about the general strike
whose imminenco is intlnated. The
president Is ready TO act and only
congress has held back timidly from
crossing the economic Rubicon.
There is plenty OF agsravation.
There need be no wonder at popular
evaporation. The cost OF living has
risen much faster than wages. II
has risen faster than war conditions
or the natural laws Of supply and de-
mand can explain. Somebody some
where is exploiting the popular dis
tress FOR the enrichment OF their own
purses. \ strike against these con-
diuons cannot be ascribed to lack Of
patriotism nor to the machnation of
German spies. Congress and the
president have the power to put an
end to uniustifiablc manipulation Of
the market In necessities. The sooner
they nc; the less likely is 1t that any
body will undertake to use lawloss
on desperate means of protest. Men
like Senator Gore. be they ever so
honest. are contributing largely to
the formation Of a nationwide re-
sentiment that might prove exceed
irgly serious In its expression.

CHOOSING THE GOAT.

Some people up at Washington
have evidently grown very sore at the
newspapers Of the country. Ever
| twist and turn Of the various amend
ments 10 the revenue bill have ex-
emplifed their antagonism toward
the publishers and determination "a
penalizc them. Pronably few con-
gressmcn have not at some time been
sadly distressed at the conduct OF
the newspapers and this is their
chance to teach the editorial profes-
sion a severe lesson. For no sooner
Is one attack upon the press parried
than they devise another. The orig
inal proposition 10 tax the nowspap-
ers for war purposes has been con-
siderahly modified. but Il Will stand
more modification before Il can be
approved as just and equitable. The
newspapers are not asking any IA
vors OF the government, tho they
have choerfully and munificently
granted fayors 70 that power when
ever requested or whenever the pub
lie good seemed to demand It, but
they DO ask to be treated fairly and
rot be singled out as the goat to bear
an unequal share OF the wars IL
nancial burdens. They have, not hesi-
tated 20 assist the governments plans
by unlimited and gratuitous publicity
Is il to be their reward 70 be taxed
more heavily In proportion than
other industries? DO the congress
men think the publishing business is
get-rich-quick scheme that de-
serves to be taxed for all 1t Will
stand?
The newspaper business is peculiar
ly one that can benefit little, II any,
from war conditions. Sensational
sheets may sell a few more papers
each day on the streets by exaggerat-
ing the trend of the news. but that is
not legitimate business. Every article
that enters into the production of a
newspaper has gone skyward and
there is no compensating increase in
bhaAlA'Sot tAH - Aii' AAtAHBN lbN Va many
other industries. Instead OF laying a
heavier proportlonate burden upon
The publisher. 1t would seem more just
20 make their burden lighter than
upon those who have profited by wars
demands. The newspapers excess
profits are not going to yield the gov
ernment much revenue, and 1t is un-
just TO take the grudge out of their
subscriptions lists by increasing the
postage. The friends OF the news
papers and they are legion. will no
doubt take notice OF which Of our con-
gressmen favor this injustice and no
one cam blame the voters IL they re-
member their names when another
election comes around.
