Serious debate has not yet opened on William
jennings Bryan's proposal TO commit the demo-
Gratis 10 national prohibition as an issue in 1920.
When the discussion begins special emphasis will
no doubt be laid on the fact that the internal rev.
enue receipts from the liquor business now net
the federal treasury about $250.000,000 year,
while import duties on wines and other alcoholic
beverages produce about S20.000000 more Cut

to make il up, while maintaining expenditures
on a scale of unprecedented profligacy. is dem
ocratic speciality. and il win not trouble Bryan

Representative Chandler Of New York was
first elected 10 congress as a progressive the
only one ever chosen from his state, we be-
heve. His reflections have come TO him as n
republican. He told the New York county COM
mittee the other night that mo group or coterie
can claim monopoly on progressiyeism in the
republican party. "The party as a whole is pro-
gressive," he declared, "and believe il will re-
main united for future victories" Chandler
evidently spoke without having the fear Of
George w. Perkins before his eyes.

EXCELLENT PICKINGS FOR OUR NEIGH.
BORIS UP ON THE NORTH.

- Canada celebrated the democratic victory in
the 1916 election by sending us $4,000 900
worth of her goods during November. That
made the total of our imports from our northern
neighbor for the first clever months Of that
year $2l3,5O0,000, an increase of S53,00000O
over the 1916 period, S62,000000 over the 1914
period and sos, 600 900 over the 1918 period, nine
months of which was under the republican pro
tective tariff law.
II looks as If the Wilson Underwood law has
been good pickngs for the Canucks. but their
gratitude will never reach the point where they
will permit our products to enter their market
at anything lower than protective rates. II is a
one-sided affair, particularly hurtful TO our
farmers, who, in their excitement over war prof
its, are apparently unconscious of the shinskin-
ming which Canada is giving them.
The war cannot last indefinitely, but Canada's
sales 10 us after the war will, under the present
tariff policy, be limited only by her own desires
and ability TO produce Are we going to prepare
for competition with Canada and other countries
before this war jag is over, or postpone tariff re-
vision until postwar depression has put our
industrial liver out of whack?

Perhaps the first real step TO test the opinion
of the country in the latest German crisis came,
appropriately enough. from a republican senator
representing Pacific Coast state and thorough
ly imbued with the spirit of progressiveism
which the republican party stands for. Senator
Poindexters proposal for the immediate con-
struction of a hundred additional submarines
went directly 10 the heart Of the situation and
met the issue of the German plan in terms Of
adequate preparedness. The fate of the pro-
posal rests, of course with democratic ma
jorty. but there is no question that Senator
Poindexter voiced the active opinion of the ma
ton in advocating a speedy increase Of our sub.
marine force in the face Of a situation which
brooks no delay.

SELLING ON THE HOOP RESULTS IN QUITE
LESS MONEY.

Production of meat in this country is below
what il was ten years ago, compared with pOpu-
laton, according to the report of Secretary of
Agriculture Houston. That means that the rails
ing of beef cattle for market is at lower estate
throughout the country, including Carbon coun-
ty or the vicinity of Price and this section of
Eastern Utah. The small farmer especially, who
could with profit raise from two to twenty head
a year, has no incentive to do so because of the
Inadequate and unsatisfactory means of sale.
The story is told of farmer near Washington,
D. c., who had two cows he wished to sell as beef.
He shipped the better of the two cows to Wash
ington and received twenty-eight dollars for it
live weight, He decided to butcher the second
oil bic farm II weighed seven hundred and
twenty pounds, and at the rate he received in
Washington he would have received $3.50 had
he taken il there on the hoof. Had the COW been
sold to the local buyer, who secured the country
thereabouts for Washington and Baltimore mar
kets, he would not have received more than
S22.50 But, as indicated, he slaughtered this
second COW himself and received $48.13 net for
the meat. This is an actual occurrence vouched
for by the department of agriculture.
The same rule probably holds good in Carbon
county There is no doubt at all about IL that the
selling of cattle the hoof to buyers for packers
or shipping the animals direct results in less
money than If the saughtering were done on the
farm. But then comes the answer that those
who raise cattle as business can't turn their
places into Strengthening houses and that the
labor entailed in Strengthening animals Is worth
something not TO mention the time consumed.
That Is true, but what percentage of the farm
ers of this nation raise cattle for anything less
than n sideine?
And this being the case little sidelne home
Strengthening will bring in more money.

IL would be foolish to assume that reall estab-
lishments in Price benefit from the prevailing
high prices of some commodities In many in
stances the profits are less than when the whole
sale prices low. When retail prices reach n
certain high level there is tendency TO econom-
ize, resulting IN lessened demand, and, as a con-
sequence. essened sale. Prices are fixed from
the bottom up-not from the top down-and the
bottom of the mercantile situation is the cost of
raw material. In this Is found the first increase,
and all other increases are based upon Il. II is
fact that most retail stores prefer TO see low
prices and lively buying. rather than high prices
and stutified buying. This Is the situation
hereabouts and everywhere else. The person
who labors under the delusion that retailers de-
liberately boost prices should inform himself of
the facts. The retailer is the last cog in the
mercantile wheel, and has no more to do with the
price Of eggs, for instance, than he has with the
cackle of the chicken that lays them. Let no
person in Price unjustly blame the retail stores
for any advances. Prices are based on the cost
Of production and the cost of raw material. Re
tailers haven't the slightest thing TO do with
either Of these factors.

IMPROVING STREET CONDITION.

Showing a laudable desire to improve
the appearance of the streets, the city COM
missioners have adopted an ordinance, Ell
,fective April 27, forbidding the use OF the
public thoroughfares as a repository for
the sale, display, repair, or renovation OF
vehicles.
Certain garages, it appears, authorized
sby old grants, had been conducting such
repair work on the streets, and the ord1-
nance is necessary to revoke the privilege,
thus one of the conditions of which COM
;plaint was made some time ago through
these columns, is to be corrected.
But what about the whiskey barrels,
1.-THE goods boxes, the chicken coops, the
merchandise and junk that are. still al
bowed on our sidewalks-especially on
South Palafox? The law is plain-section
129 of the city ordinances especially pro-
shibits "the owner or occupant of any lot or
spart thereof abutting on a street of this
c . permit any obstruction to remain
u the sidewalk in front of such lot or
hereof"
it is not an infrequent occurrence for
dewalks to be so heaped with mer-
Use, barrels, boxes, etc, that two peo-
.sIe "a anot walk abreast. Sometimes bare
yard is left for pedestrians to pass. The
nuisance should be abated-sidewalks are
public thoroughfares, not private ware
houses.

COMPENSATION OF COMMITS
SIONERS.

Public finances are not so great any
where in Florida, nor have roads, schools,
etc reached a development that will justi
fly any new expense that is not absolutely
NECESSARY, and will not make definite re-
turns If, therefore, the purpose OF the
proposed bill to fix the compensation of
4 county commissioners is simply to raise it,
the legislature would do we'll to reject the
measure.
If, on the other hand, the purpose is to
grade salaries by population, the law falls
short of its object. Emolument would be
as follows: In counties whose population
exceeds 10000, 81, 800 per annum; in coun-
ties whose population exceeds 10000 but is
less than 10000, 1900: in counties less
than 10000, $780, Thus, though a differ
ence of 10000 population between Escam-
bia and Jackson counties would mean a
salary increase of $500 for the former.
there would be no difference whatever in
Duvaps favor, with a population 10000
IgTeater than ours
If finally, the purpose of the law is to
increase efficiency, the clause that would
prevent commissioners devotinp them
selves to any other occupation should be
stricken. Section 8, providing that "coun-
ty commissioners of the respective coun-
ties shall devote their whole time to the
duties of their office" would debar business
men, farmers, professional men from the
office; and what manner of man would de
vote his career to the chances of politics for
5000 to $500 compensation?
It will be time enough to adopt eligibil-
ity restrictions when there are qualifica,
ton restrictions and salaries are sufficient
to invite the best talent in the land.

This is the opening section of the Sher-

when congress meets The bill goes on to
provide that ballots be furnished each
postoffice; five days notice shall be given,
the voters to mail their ballots to the Cen
sus Bureau under franked envelopes. The
question on every ballot is as follows:
'shan the United States declare war asains. the

Congressman Sherwood fought during
the Civil War, participated in forty-three
battles, and was under fire 123 days; he
therefore knows what war is; but that
does not mean that he knows how to pre-
vent war.
War is often waged without any declar-
alton; or declaration accompanies the
breaking off of relations. That the Unit
ed States should wage an aggressive, land
grabbing war, is simply unthinkable; rep
resentative Sherwoods proposition, there
fore, reduces itself to voting whether or
not to defend our country and our homes
from foreign designs
1t would be a very poor congress, cab
met, and president that could not make
the decision.
If referendum there must be, why have
it only on war? Why not apply the princi
pie to all legislation? If Representative
Sherwood's days under fire tell him that
the people should vote on when to fight
why do not his days in congress convince
him that they should also decide what
bills should be passed?
