A PANIC OF EDWARDS

In all the history of the National
House OF representatives it is impos
sible to recall performance so scan
dalous as the action of the present
House in resorting to mob law to rush
through the soldiers bonus bill Sat
urday. Never before has the House,
charged with the initiation of reve-
nue. measures, instituted a gag rule to
pass, practically without debate, a
great revenue bill Never before did
this branch of Congress, intended in
our system of government to be d.
rectly representative of the people,
so brazenly and flagrantly betray the
people as it did when, by proceed.
ing which former Republican leader
Mann denounced as unprecedented,
outrageous and iniquitous,' it forced
through, allowing only forty minutes
for debate, bill extorting from the
taxpayers of this country nearly two
thousand million dollars, for the real
benefit of nobody except the politi-
clans who voted for it.
When was there such another spec
tacle in the House? Forty minutes
set aside for the consideration of a
bill levying upon the country addi-
tional taxation almost equal to our
entire nation debt before the war.
Such speeches as wer attempted
greeted with boots and bowls, groans
and outlaws, the House a believing
bedlam of hysteria and hilarity ruff
fiianism and riot! That forty minues
of ribaldry and robbery was a sting.
ing shame to the people of the Unit
ed States who elected this House and
a disgraceful demonstration that the
House itself is beyond all shame.
That body of drones which has
done nothing for year should so
suddenly take it upon itself to do so
much in forty minutes, is easily ex.
plainable by marking that recess is
at hand, that an election is soon to
follow, and that candidates for re.
election to the House, fearing to dis
obey the commands of the organized
former service men, and never hay
ing had occasion to fear the unorgan
lied public, was in a panic of crowds
to pass some sort of bonus bill before
adjournment, and passed it as they
did without any pretense of fairness
deliberation or decency, but as in g
panic Of crowds.
1t is to be noted that the damnine
discredit Of this performance is to be
charged to no one political party. Re
Ipublicans and Democrats alike raj
wild over one another to get theil
share OF the loot. Whatever profit a
the polls may come Of it from tn,
soldier vote will be distributed t,
Republicans and Democrats alike
The general public should follow tn,
same rule in apportioning the loss
And If the general public takes any
thing like the interest in the hold.ul
that the Congressman expect the sol
diers to take in it, the loss will great
ly over-balance the proft.-Louisvill,

CROP PROSPECTS
ARE FAIRLY GOOD
(By Sam T. Fleming, Field Agent,
Bureau of Crop Estimates)

(By sam i. Flemlng, Flelu AGENT
Bureau of Crop Estimates)
Gainesville, June 13.-Crop pros
poets for Florida, as a whole, are en-
couraging in spite of the rains and
cool weather Of May.
Reported yields of crops harvested,
or being harvested, are good and the
staple crop situation, while precar-
Gus just at present on account OF
excessive rains and grass, is not as
gloomy as might be expected.
Farmers are working hard and with
favorable June weather will get their
fields in first class condition.
Irish Potatoes
The bulk Of the crop has been har-
vested and while the yield was un-
certain on June l, it is apparent that
unusually good yields have been
made
Reports indicate that an average of
los bushels per acre will be close to
the final figures
Last year yield was estimated at 76
bushels; 1918, 100 bushels, and in
1917 81 bushels.
The present seasons acreage is
about the same as that Of last year,
$4,000 acres and production is estima-
ted at 100000 bushels, compared
with 1,S24,OO0 bushels last year;
100000 bushels in 1918, and 2,275,-
900 bushel in 1917.
In quality the resent crop is about
the same as last years which was
slightly believe the average.
Oats
The states acreage Of oats for
grain is at least 10 per cent less than
for year ago. Prospects for produc.
ton were poor until about time for
the crop to head when conditions be-
gan to improve rapidly and at har
vest time was considerably above the
average.
Acreage for the present season is
estimated at $4,000, and based or
conditions as reported June l, yield
OF IL bushels per acre will be made
indicating total production of 972,
900 bushel
Last years acreage was 10000
with yield Of nineteen bushels and 3
total production Of 1,140,OOO bushels
Hay
The condition of such hay crops a,
are already growing is good, bein,
reported at 80 per cent, of normal
This is above the usual condition To-
the time Of year.
Present indications are that
smaller acreage of tame varieties o
hay will be cut this year than last
Based on an early inquiry, acreag
for the present year is estimated a
100000, compared with 10000 acre
year ago.
Production if the condition of ha
crops does not deteriorate, will al
most equal last years 100000 ton.

HATRED AND ISLANDER

Raymond Robbins, who has been
flirting with the Bolshevists in Russia
for the past two years, came to Duluth
last Friday to speak for Harding and
against the League of Nations. In his
audience was mixture of Bourbous
and Bolshevists and they both ap-
plauded in unison whenever Mr.. Rob-
bins attacked the Wilson administra.
tion, particularly when he painted his
picture of shantung and the turning
"sS,ooo,ooo people and 10000 square
miles of territory over to Japan"
While the crowd applauded loudly
few of them perhaps knew that they
applauded false statement. If Mr..
Robbins did not know that it was false.
following his visit to the far east, then
other statements he made may be &C.
eepted with doubt.
Now what are the facts REGARDING
shantunga The territory was formerly
occupied by Germany and coded to it
with the consent of a Republican ad-
ministration during the partition of
China 20 years ago. Japan, under the
Versailles treaty, was given the right

PYRAMDING PROFITS,

How the hair splitting one-majofity
decision Of the United States supreme
court permits "Big Business to pyra-
mid profits and escape war taxes is
wildly exempliied by the Standard Oil
Company Of New York. In 1911 this
company was capitalized at $4,000, 900.
From that time to 1913 the dividends
on this capital varied, although they
were never less than 6 PEI, cent year.
June 80, 1913, this Standard Oil com.
pany distributed dividend Of 400 per
cent. At the same time it raised the
dividend rate to 8 per cent year,
equivalent to 40 per cent on the orig
inal capital. The dividend rate con:
tinued at per cent for your years
until June, 1917, when it was increased
BY the. company to- IL per cent. In
March, 1919, it was further increased to
10 per cent, or equal to so per: cent
year on the original shares.
Now the Standard Oil company pro-
poses to issue another stock dividend
Of 200 per cent. When this is done
the shareholder Of 1911 will find his
original capital multiplied by fifteen
within nine years, and if the same divi.
dend rate continues he will be getting
24o per cent on his original investment.
Under the supreme court decision the
men who receive these stock dividends
will not be required to pay any tax to
The federal government. Fine business
for the non:producing stockholders, all
Of ~ must admit.
In this way profits can be charged to
the: public which seem moderate, but in
reality hide fragrant prodteering. Yet
the Standard Oil company, along with
other t'Big Business" is asking con-
gress to remove Is per cent Of the
excess profits tax, which applies only
70. its profits above 20 per cent. 81. B.
