TOMATOES BRING IN
FORTUNE TO FARMERS
Growers of Smyrna and

PATCH OF 35 ACRES

The tomato season OF 1917, the most
remarkable on record for the growers
OF smyrna and Clayton. came practic-
ally to close with the neavy frost
OF Friday night and Saturday morning,
says the Smyrna Times. That The
growers have reaped a harvest IS -indi
Gated by the fact that between S25o000
and 100000 has been paid out in this
community for the tomato alone this
season. OF this amount 1t is said that
at Smyrna Landing there was paid out
for tomatoes shipped by boat over
si5o000. 10 has been most remark

Iowa was the first State TO vote since
the Oone-dly law became effective. The voters
rejected it as all o,her prohibition States will
as soon as given the opportunity.
The voters Of Iowa went to the polls on
last Monday with the thought in mind that
their home was their castle and that no man
had he righ to invade it. The result Of the
election proved il. 4
The result Of the Iowa election shows
three distinct things. viz: The man who
formerly voted dry for the other fellow sake
will no longer do so as he has himself to
consider. tor under the new law his suppl is
shut off,
Second They refused to have dry de-
tectives invade their homes and search their
baggage.
Third People will not tolerate bone
dry prohibition.
The drys Of Wilmington, so far, have
said not one word about the bone-dry law.
They feared to inform the public as to the
workings Of the law. They know that if
the people can no longer have their supply
shipped to them they will not vote for prohi-
bidon. The drys defeat in Iowa showed this
very plainly

In three months and one weeks time
the Iowa people had enough Of the esame law
which is proposed for Wilmington. The
people Of Iowa have been clamOring for a
chance to reject this Puritsnical law. which
was forced upon them, and they did so at
the first opportunity They refused any
longer to let the Anti-Saloon League. and its
hirelinas dictate to them as to how they
should live.
After three months the voters grewdred
Of being subjected to the dry sleuths who

D. c. LEGISLATION
IN WILSON TERM
HaIf-and-HaIf Fight Was Chief
Local Issue in First
Four Years.
OTHER LAWS ENACTED

The chief issue of Congress affecting
the District Of Columbia during the
first four years of the Wilson admin
istration was connected with the or
eanic act and the half -andhalf prin-
ciple of appropriation for the National
Capital. The half-and-half plan was
under fire in the first months of the ad-
ministration. but in all of the appro-
priation bills passed. including one
which has Just been signed, the organic
act has been upheld and the half-and-
half principle saved intact.
In the first District appropriation bill
in the administration, Representative
Johnson's amendment striking out the
half-and-half was sustained by the
House. but was overturned by the Sem
ate Also, Representative Page OF North
Carolina. chairman of the subcommit-
tee in charge of the bill, endeavored
to upset the relations between the Dis
trict of Columbia and the federal gov
ernment by writing the we'll remem-
bered section eight" which would have
vitiated the principle of the organic
act by allowing the District to pay
for its upkeep to the full extent of
it's resources, while the United States
should contribute any amount thought
necessary by Congress.
Methods of Attack.
One of the methods adopted by the
opponents of the half-and-half was
series of attacks on the taxation sys-
tenn in the District.
Representative George of New York
drew UP a bill for the revision of pres
ent assessment and taxation methods,
and after a close fight in the District
committee of the House the bill was
reported TO the House SO as to carry
with il the JohnSon-Prouty excessive
taxation ideas.
Representative George fought his own
bill on the House floor, so loaded down
was the measure with amendments to
which he was opposed. The House met
the issue by a sudden determine ton
to throw out the entire question.
After deadlock had continued in
the Sixty-third Congress for three
weeks beyond the end of the fiscal
year covered by the bill. Oscar Under
wood, then a member of the House.
solved the question by compromise
resulting in the creation of a joint Sc
lect commission authorized to examine
into the facts in the case and to make
a report The commission was composed
of Senators Chiffon. Salisbury and
Works. and Representatives Rainey.
Gard and Cooper. After exhaustive
hearings the commission reported in
taVOr OF a dennlte ana Nxeu rate Oh
taxation and SSnerous treatment OF the
District.
HaIf-and-Half Plan Sustained.
The District appropriation bill for
the current fiscal year, framed i'm
mediately following this investigation,
was written without provision for ap-
preparations under the half-and-half
plan. The House bill proposed that
all of the District revenues should be
expended for the District and that the
federal government should contribute
the difference between the total reve-
nues of the District and the amount of
the appropriations by Congress. The
bill passed the House.
A vigorous fight against the House
provision was made in the Senate, and
by an overwhelming vote, Il was re-

Other Measures Enacted.

Much legislation for the District has
been enacted in the form of appropria-

between owners and the District A

board, the Kenyon "antired light" law
