ociation-call it what you will, the
name is of slight conscqucncc-that
will discourage or tend to prevent war
and that will encourage or tend to en-
courage better understanding among
Ia tons of the earth. The old order of
things is done with not only in Amer
lea. but throughout the world, and the
United States, always quick with SYM
pathy, always just and usually led by
common sense, must play its part in
this new order. ~
"Third-I believe that such an asso-
citation can be formulated without
wrecking the constitution that remains
the cornerstone of our liberties and Of
our happiness; without Selling or
tilching the sovereignty that is our
pride and our inspiration to fine living
and good works.
"Fourth-I can earnestly believe
that the conscience, the ready sym
pathy, the sense of justice and the
plain common sense of the United
States can be depended upon by the
rest of the world and that would
be stupid as well as unlawful to at
tempt to chain our sympathies, our.
sense of justice and our cOmon sense,
to tie these strong, fine, dependable
American qualities to the possibly
selfish ambitions and aims Of foreign
nations or group of nations whose
ideals are not the same as ours, never

confidence as regards these matters, to
seek their advice and, more important

into conference with me the best minds,
the clearest minds that America af-

American women and especially the
mothers of America.
THE substance of these things has

reported and l want America to under
stand my thought of cooperation as

Poland is in need of food supplies
and as your Uncle Samuel has an
abundance there ought to be ways de-
viscd by which Poland'S needs can be
met. even if she is a little short OF
ready cash. According to IA Washing

ton has made formal request OF this
government for the extension of aid by
the United States to Poland in the
form of food supplies This country
has the biggest crop of foodStutfs pro

bounty with Poland without injurinS

According to the estimate OF such
men as Senator Harding and Senator
I.enroot, who have been closely associ-
atcd with Senator Cummins in the
,lpper house of congress and who know
the accomplishments and qualifications
of Iowa's senior senator, Mr. Cummins
is one of the leaders in that body, is Il
member OF great influence and is held
in the highest personal regard by scna-
tors generally Both these men have
spoken in Iowa recently and both tell
the people the same story. In the
Judgment of each it would not only be
a great loss to Iowa. but loss to the
nation as we'll. to have Senator Cum
Minis defeated for reelection at the
coming election Senator Harding
saws the Cummins- Esch railroad law is
the best constructive measure that has
been passed by congress in a decade
and Senator LcnrOot bears testimony to
the same fact. Surely the people of
Iowa are not going to condemn that law
and its chief sponsor before it has been
given fair trial.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

Former President, Taft, who has been
Il consistent and sincere advocate OF
a league of nations. always willing to
make concessions to secure the ncces-
sary support for such an organization.
lays the responsibility of the failure OF
this country to join the league upon
President Wilson, where it rightfully
belongs. Mr.. Taft also truly senses
the situation in the event of the cleo
ton of Cox, declaring that it will be
impossible for Mr.. Cox to secure ratifi-
cation OH the plans he proposes. Hence
Mr.. Taft is Of the opinion that those
who favor some sort of an international
agreement looking to the preservation
of peace throughout the world ought
to support Senator Harding in this
campaign. In referring to the publish
cd correspondence anent the league be-
tween President Wilson and himself
while the president was in France, Mr..
Taft gave the following to the Associat-
ed Press while at Seattle Il few days
|ago:
when the subject of publishing
the correspondence between the prcsi-
dent and myself was preached to me
by an emissary of the White House,
l promptly said to go ahead Mr..
Taft said.
Il had frequently referred to the
correspondence myself and would pos
sibly have published it if it had been
my business to do so.
Declaring he had favored accept
ancc of league without reservations
and expressing disappointment that
the United States has not become Il
party to it, Mr.. Taft held the president
responsible for the defeat OF the plan.
THE president wrecked his own
league" he said. He wrecked it with
Article y, of which he is the author.
Personally l would stand for Article X
because l am exceedingly anxious for
a league to be established. At the
same time the League to Enforce Peace,
of which l was chairman, had no Arti-
Gle X in its proposition.
1t has been clearly demonstrated
that the representatives of the people
of this country will not stand for Arti-
Gle X. The stubbornness Of the prcsi-
dent in refusing to accept Endorsement
by the senate of the league covenant
without Article Y defeated the treaty.
Now Mr.. Cox has swallowed Arti-
Gle Y and declares that as chief exc
cutivc he will not approve the league
without it. That means that with Mr..
Cox we shall get no league, for even
if the democrats elected every scna-
torial candidate which they have in the
field, they would not have enough to
carry the league without reservations.
Harding, on the other hand, has
already voted twice for the league
with reservations and promises that
Us president he will indorsc the coy
cnant without Article y, or simi-
lar international agreement limiting
ornaments, providing a court of ar
bitration and conference for discus
sion of non judicial character. That is
exactly what we want, and that is what
Harding as president will give u.s.

THE INCOME TAX.

Five million people now pay an in
come tax into the United States treas
ury. That's another working Of a
mighty good law that was passed by a
Democratic president and congress-
Manson Democrat.
100000 people pay an income tax "
100000 would be nearer the mark.
Every consumer who pays for villa. lie
consumes pays the income tax. There
is no getting away from it. The CON
sumer pays more than the tax, as the
Ian worked out by most manufacture
ers and dealers not only places the tax
upon the consumer, but makes him pay
the regular percentage Of profit on the
J tax, same as he must pay on other
| items of cost. 1t works this way:
Here is piece of machine y that costs
the factory 500, upon which Il tax Of
$40 is paid. The factory figures max
ing profit Of say ten per cent. 1t Is
usually more than that, bu; that will
do for an illustration. OF course The tax
becomes a part of the cost, SO the sell
ing price is $11O with 10 per cent add
ed, making the price 1921. That IL
what the jobber pays. He adds 10 per
cent and his price to the wholesaler
lis $1331O. The wholesaler sells to tine
retailer, never forgetting to add 10
per cent hence his price is $146.11.
Then the retailer adds 10 per cent,
bringing the total up to $1GO.72, which
the ultimate consumer pays.
An income tax law was enacted by
congress in 1909 and signed by Presi-
dent Taft. That law was amended in
October, 1913, and the amendments also
received the signature Of President
Taft. The present law is the result of
amendments by the Democratic con-
gress to the income tax statutes.
The Frccman-J ournal is not going to
condemn the Democratic party for the
way the law is working, though it is
proving itself an unjust collector. 1t
was the aim of congress to provide
method of taxation for war purposes
that would throw much of the burden
upon industries that would reap large
profits from war contracts and from
the sale of war supplies, in some in
stances the tax being as high as 50
per cent of the profit. 1t was not fore
seen that the tax would generally be
carried on to the consumer, with a
profit added for each time the tax
was paid by every dealer who handled
the product. 1t is now the problem of
congress to find better method of col
lecting this tax. 1t must he collected,
of course. to pay war interest and prin-
cipal and other necessary expenses.
1t is easy now for the Republican
party to tell where the Democratic
party failed in this matter and declare
that it will make better law. How
ever, the Freeman-Journal has noted
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1920-10-18

as high as $50 and $3.50 per ton for
coal at the mines in Illinois during the
past month. With freight and cost of
delivery added that coal cannot be
laid down here for less than $13 to $14
per ton. The consumers are just now
being numerically robbed on coal and
the country would certainly appreciate
it if Mr.. Cline would hurry his prose
cutions and give the public some re-
lief. If these prices continue long
many people will suffer with cold as
soon as severe weather sets in.

The paramount issue in this cam
paign is not league of nations, not
the tariff, not states rights, not Gov.
Cox, not Senator Harding, not pro-
hibition, not universal suffrage, not the
budget plan. not foreign affairs and
not questions growing out of the war.
The paramount issue is the Democratic
party and what it stands for and the
way it has conducted the government
aside from war issues, during the past
eight years.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1920-10-18

The first half of October was so
warm that it materially reduced the
consumption of coal, for which we are
all thankful. Perhaps the coming Win
ter is going to be mild. 1t will be a
boon to the people if it Is and will help
out on the SIG coal which the coal
thieves are now selling.

Gov. Cox said in one of his speeches
out west that radicalism is reaction
from unjust government. Well, as there
is more radicalism in this country now
than ever before perhaps it is due to
the government we have had during the
past eight years. But we don't believe
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1920-10-18

and why doesn't he rebuke Wilson for
calling out soldiers to maintain order
during the steel and coal strikes? Fact
of the matter is. Mr. GOmperS is one OF
the blindest partisans in the country
and cannot conceal his partisanship.

HoGelNc OFF CORN IN FAVOR
North Dakota College Secured Return
Of $45.54 Per Acre by Using
Herd Of Shotes.

While corn usually is considered
not as a money crop but one to clean
up the land, yet the North Dakota
Agricultural college received a re-
turn of S45.54 per acre by using 48
shotes to hog off 16 acres of flint corn
IN 1918, according to ]. H. Shepperd
Of the experiment station.
''The hogs were turned in the field
September 6. when they averaged 100
pounds in weight, and left there un-
til November IL, making an average
gain of "a pounds, or gain Of 281.75
pounds per acre. They were market
ed at 1851 cents, which. allowing for
shrinkage, gave return of $45.54 per
acre."

USE sUNFLoWER FOR sILAGE
When Grown With Corn Yield Was
Considerably increased-Feed
Value Not Impaired.

Considerable interest has developed
in the past two or three years in sun
flowers as silage crop. A number
Of farmers In Michigan have grown
sunflOwers with corn, says the quar-
terly bulletin of the Michigan Agri-
cultural college. They claim that the
yield was considerably increased and
the feeding value was not impaired.
Most of them, however. said they pre-
ferred that sunfiOwers should not take
up more than One-third of the silage

JUGGLING THE FIGURES.

Quite recently the following misleading comparl-
son appeared in several of our exchanges, which
comparison to those not familiar with actual con-
ditions in South Carolina may have caused them to
wonder why we, and others, are raising such howl
about increasing tn salaries of our teachers.
"The averag. uer cent increase in the salaries OF
teachers in South Carolina from 1908 to 1919 was
46.
The average per cent increase in the salaries OF
teachers in California from 1908 to 1918 was 34.'
Since South Carolina has given its teachers 46
per cent increase in salary and California only "a
per cent increase for the same period, one might
juggle the figures and claim that South Carolina IS
doing we'll, comparatively speaking, in increasing
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-02-02


apparent and the truth that California pays her
teachers more than twice as much as does South
Carolina.
The reason for the misleading comparison IS that
the average salary Of school teacher IN Can1ornla
il 1908 was S797.66 while the average salary OF
the South Carolina teacher that same year was only
$685. So with the respective per cent increases
added, the California teacher last year was PAID
s1,O6S, while the South Carolina teacher who really
did get 46 per cent increase in ten years, had to
worry along, buy Liberty Bonds, help support the
Red Cross, and so forth, on the princely sum OF
s422 46-eight dollars week.
Why this great difference in the treatment OF
teachers by South Carolina, one of the original thlr
teen colonies, and that of one OF our younger
states? It cannot be that the cost of living IN Call
forna is more than twice as great as in this state
The real reason is that California quite while ago
realized the value of her teachers and began to pay
them. South Carolina must wake up and so ade-
ouately provide for her teachers that they may DE
able to live comfortably and lay up little Tor ola

gross expense of operation, maintenance and repair, interest on the debt created to pay for the plant, depreciation, sinking fund or debt requirements, and loss, If any, in the. operation of the plant during the preceding year) over the estimated income from sales to private. consumers should be included in the annual appro- priation for maintenance and in the tax levy. For this. excess, which it was re- quired thus to raise by taxation, the city or town received it's street. and, in some cases, it's public building lighting.
 The statutes were amended in sub stance in the general acts of 1918, re- quiring that the managers of municipal plants shall include in their annual esti- mates of receipts and. expenses an esti- mate of the cost of the gas or electricity to be used by the city or town, and that the city or town shall include in it's an nual appropriations not less than such estimated cost. A further change was made in the definition of the cost of gas or electricity to be used by the city or town, such cost thereafter to include ils terest on the outstanding debt only, and | not on the investment as heretofore.
 This change provides the municipal l lighting plant with a definite income fol 1 one of the most important features of its 1 business, namely, the supply of electricity | to the street lights and public buildingt l based upon the actual cost of service.
