SUGAR WENT BELOW MARKET
Sheriff Thornton's Bargain Sale"
Was Rousina Success, However.

Sheriff Thornton conducted sale
this morning that. so far as the
goods" went, was lively. There prob
ably is but one thing that Jim some
times has in charge that would have
drawn more enthusiastic crowd, and
that thing is the product for which
this same sugar was expected to be
used-m -moonshine whisky
The sugar, which was taken in a
raid for an Illicit STILL consisted of
three sacks of approximately 100 lbs.
each. The sugar was weighed out and
made SO packages OF pounds each.
When the sale opened one package
went at so cents, then the price settled
to rs cents. At this price one man
tried to buy 10 packages, but the auc-
tioneer insisted that the only way one
man could buy more than one sack
was to raise the regular ante. which,
apparently from common consent, was
anchored at rs cents.
But there were something like for
ty present who desired sweets, and
the SO sacks were quickly distributed

Commenting on the sub-committee's
recommendation that a loan be made
Mexico in case treaty eby which
practices now authorized by the Mex

newspaper remarks.
Truly Senator Fall chairman ot

promising us loan which he knows
he cannot make good. But promising

will it impoverish Senator Fall. The

LAND rAx system FAULTY.
Encourage Holding Of Idle Land While
Rents Soar. Realtor Says.

From the Kansas city Star
The system of taxation in the Uni
ted States was copied directly from
that introduced in England by the
land barons in the reign Of william
and Mary, and has remained un-
changed substantially, John 2. White
Of Chicago declared yesterday in an
address before the Henry George lee
ture bureau at luncheon of the Tri-
angle Club at the Hotel Muehlebach
The result, Mr.. White said, was that
the system of taxation is the only
function of our government which is
faulty in principle
Our taxes put fine upon improve
ments and encourage the holding of
idle land" he declared. Sixty lots out
Of one hundred in the average Ameri-
can city are vacant while rents soar
on business property"
Mr.. White said the solution Is q tax
on land which will encourage produc
ton and discourage the speculator who
holds land idle expecting to profit by
the growth of population.

THE INSTITUTE

Only 80 Teachers Enrolled for Polk
County's Annual School Work--A
Good Many May Lose
Certificates.

There are 80 enrolled. The Institute
is thus about 35 short of what it usu.
ally numbers. This means that the
shortage instead of being about %,
numbers about 80. Some of the old
teachers have presumed on the short
age of teachers to stay away from the
Institute, but County Supt I. G. Har-
ris asserts positively that the licenses
OF absentees will expire on the last
day of the Institute and that absentees
will be cited at once to re-examina-
tion. This is only justice to the faith
full ones who always attend.
Another feature that has been elimi-
mated is the departure of some teach
ers Immediately after roll cali. Some
of the absentees of The county who
carry state licenses will probably lose
them after this Institute.
No excuses except sickness or death
are accepted for absence.

reporting annual incomes OF more
than $4,000 in 1917, the average to-
tai revenue per telephone was $3S.41,
average net income per telephone
$613 and average surplus per tele-

This report Of the telephone indus
try is part OF the Census of Electri-

1918, covering the operations of the

The first census of the telephone
industry was taken in connection
with the decennal census in 1880,
only two years after the first public
telephone exchange was opened for
business at New Haven, Conn, on
January 25, 1873 In 1890 a census
of telephones was again taken with
the regular decennial census, but for
1902 and for every fifth year since a
censusgof electrical industries, which
includes telephones, has been taken.
The development of the industry,
therefore, is shown from its infancy.

Telephone Census
Sh0Ws Interesting
Facts of Industry

Washington, Jan. 13-According to
the report about to be issued by the
bureau OF census showing the results
OF the census of telephones covering
the year 1917, there are 5S,2S4 sepa'
rate telephone systems and lines
These lines and systems operated
2s,s27199 miles Of wire in the Unit
ed enough TO girdle the earth
at the equator 1,153 times-and con-
nected 11,716520 telephones and 2l,-
175 public exchanges. The messages
or talks" sent over these wires ag
gregated the stupendous total of near
ly 20 billion, or to be exact 21,S45,-
722.335. Figured on the estimated
population Of the country in 1917 this
gives 211 messages per annum to
every man, woman and child.
The industry in 1917 gave employ
ment to 262,629 persons Of whom
171119 or over G5 per cent were
women. The sum paid out in sala-
ries and wages amounted to $175-
670,449 These employees operated
plants and equipment valued at ST.
400, ,32g,O15, which yielded operating
and incorporating revenues of $391,-
499,531.
( The report discusses the develop
n1ent of the telephone industry, tele
phone equipment and traffic; offers
interesting comparisons between the
Bell and other systems, and between
the telephone system as whole and
the telegraph system; and gives i'm
portant financial etatistics OF the in
dustry Detailed figures are present |
ed for 1917 by states and geographic
divisions an dcomparative statistics !
for earlier years. The statistics for
1917 are believed to be more accu-
rate than for any previous census,
due to the uniform system of ac
counts provided for telephone com.
panies by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which have been in use
since January /, 1913.
Comparisons with previous censuses
bring out in a striking way the re-
markable development of the indus.
try During the decade 19071917
wire mileage increased 129 per cent,
the number of telephones 1923 per
cent, the number of messages 905
per cent, forsys TENS having incomes
of $4,000 or more
A comparison by geographic divi-
sions brings out the fact that con
more than one-half of the
telephone systems reporting annual
incomes of $1,000 or more in 1917
were located in the middle west,
While systems and lines reporting in
comes of less than $4,000 were found
in the largest numbers in the west
ern states of the central groups
The financial statistics of the re-
port show that while the revenue of
the telephone companies has more
than doubled during the decade 1907
1917 the expenses have increased at
an even more rapid rate Much of
the increase in expenses was due to
increases in salaries and wages paid.
These had advanced from 47.4 per
cent of the total expenses in 1912, to
