SENATE IS AGAINST
HIGHER TAXATION

Washington, Sept. 10.-In the midst
of another bitter outburst over Amer.
lean unity in prosecuting the war the
senate tentatively disposed of the in.
come tax provisions of the war tax
bill and again defeated all attempts at
higher taxation.
Interest in virtual adoption of the
income tax section, designed to raise
$S42, 100000 more revenue from indi.
vidual and corporate incomes, was
overshadowed by a stormy three-hour
scene, in which Senator Hardwick of
Georgia was subjected to vigorous
criticism by Senator Nelson (Repub-
lican) and Senators Chamberlain and
Williams (Democrats).
The incident hardly has been
equaled in the senate since passage
of the army draft law.
Senator Nelson, veteran of the Civil
war, defended the patriotism of the
American soldier-regular, volunteer
and drafted men-and denounced
pacifsm in rebuking Senator Hard.

In inaugurating a campaign for IN

instances to even treble the acreage

Uncle Sans troops are second only

THE FIRST FROSTS
GARDENERS MAY LEARN PROB
ABLE DATE OF KILLING
TEMPERATURES.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 10
Truckers and gardeners planning for
late crops should be aided in deter
mining their best bets" on the first
frost by referring to this historical
summary of frost occurrences in vari-
Gus sections, just issued by the Unit
ed States weather bureau.
Killing frost has never occurred
earlier than September 10 south of
the extreme southwestern portion of
South Dakota, extreme southern Min
nesota, central Wisconsin and the in
terror northern portion of lower
Michigan. 1t has never occurred ear
lier than October l south of the ex-
treme north portions Of Oklahoma
and Arkansas. southern Tennessee,
and the mountain districts of North
Carolina and Virginia. 1t has never
occurred earlier than October 20 to
the southwark of the extreme north
eastern portion of Texas, northern
Louisiana, the central portions of
Mississippi, Alaabma, Georgia, South
Carolina and eastern North Carolina.
The chances are even hat killing
frost will not occur before Septem-
Der Is in most of North Dakota,
Montana and the extreme northern
portion of Minnesota. BY the first
few days in October killing frost oc-
curs on the average one year in two
as far south as the southern portion
of Nebraska, southern and eastern
Iowa, southern Wisconsin, most OF
the interior portion of lower Michi-
gan and throughout the greater part
of New England. By October Is ii
may be expected in at least half the
years as far south as the central por-
tons of Kansas, Missouri. Illinois, In
diana, throughout eastern Kentucky
and the mountainous sections of the
Virginias.
There is one chance in two that
killing frost will not occur earlier
than November / at the latitude OF
central Oklahoma. central Arkansas,
and the northern portions of Missis-
sippi. Alabama, Georgia, South Caro-
lima and eastern North Carolina. The
chances are ever hat it will occur
by November Is a little south of tbs
central portions of Texas and Louis
lana and well toward the southern
portions of Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia. This does not mean that
killing frost will occur in the local.

public improvement projects. Cartoon
lists and artists sent drawings for a
travelling exhibit boosting his cause.
One newspaper humorist gave up his
job to 20 out and give Illustrated
speeches for him. In the Fargo Cour-
Ter News, all Baer's dra wings bore the
union lakeland the workingman was
favorably inclined.
Then there were the farmers, whose
lot he once had shared In his brief
twenty-five years of life. The Repub-
lican and Democratic candidates sought
to impeach his record on the soil. Why.
they charged, he made himself the
laughing stock OF the community by
covering a wagon load of fax to pro-
tect Ii from the frost. 1t seems that
fax Is impervious to chill, and the
charge was a grave one to make In that
agricultural district. Ii appeared at
one time that Mr.. Baer could not sur
vive this indication that he was unfit
ted to sit In the national councils.
But Baer got out his artists crayon
and drew a picture of the farm wagon
driving through a terrific windstorm.
The %tarpaulin, he proved to all within
hearing or sight, was necessary to pre-
vent his harvest from blowing away.
Having thus displayed a statesmanlike
ability for explaining away damaging
evidence, the race was conceded to the
young nonpartisan.
AS a political dra wing card all the old
party oratory could not equal Mr.. Baer's
chalk talks. Farmers would drive ffty
miles to see the young fellow drawthose
pictures-crude likenesses of anything
from a state owned grain elevator to a
fat Minneapolis miller gouging the men
who raised the wheat
Baer's election marked the entry of
the National Nonpartisan league into
national politics. Lively interest was
manifested throughout the nation be-
cause the league has now spread into
eight states, Kansas. Missouri and Ne
braska among them, with a total mem
bership of 100000, nearly half of which
Is In North Dakota.
