SANDWICHES.

Knoxville Express: One of the
domestic economy experts who writes
for the daily papers takes time to in
form her readers that "A delicious fill
ing for tea sandwiches is honey mixed
with chopped nut meats" That may
do fairly well for cultivated appetite,
but for coarse person who works II
might be better to stuff that sandwich
with a thick pork sausage, slice OF
onion and couple of pickles, seasoned
with layer of fresh horseradish and
some tabasco sauce. And If you viii
just imagine the cold wind whistling
around the building and the snow pelt-
ing the windows of the lunch room,
the clock pointing to 1 80 a. M, and
the train half an hour late, you will
realize that coarse person wouldn't
want thing else unless 1t would be
cup of coffee and another sandwich.

FREIGHT ON CORN

A few days ago the Freeman-JOurnal
took occasion to make editorial COM
ment on the corn market and the
freight rate from Webster City, but it
seems slight error was made. We Sc
cured the information concerning
freight charges from one of the rail
road employees here who should know
the rates and who does know them, but
who must have got the rate on corn
and oats mixed with the rate on some
thing else. In any event he said the
rate was Ply cents per hundred
pounds while in fact it is 1919 cents,
making the rate per bushel on corn,
with the war tax added, 1857, instead
of 1904 cents as the Frceman-J Ournal
stated.
Mr.. Brown of the Webster CITY Ele-
vator Company, says he will be glad
to handle corn for any farmer for two
cents Il buShel, take it in the elevator
and load it into the car, and the farm
err can consign it to any one Of the
commission firms that he wants to.
While the recent raise in freight
rates was but 30 per cent there have
been several raises granted since be-
fore the war. In 1914 the rate on corn
from Webster City to Chicago was
7.5G per bushel. In 1917 it was 1910
per bushel and now it is 1857 per
bushel. The railroads have been sub
jected to the same increases in Oper-
|ating their business as other lines
have and the increases allowed by the
interstate commerce commission are
probably justified. The present low
price Of corn makes this increase a
burden upon the farmer, but the rate
would be no higher if corn We're worth
$40 instead of 20 cents on the Chica
go market.

Mr.. Sage said that most of Iowas
rain supply came from the gulf Of
Mexico and insisted that when the
winds were favorable we would get
plenty of moisture and when unfavor
able we would have periods Of drouth.
Hamilton county is now pretty well
titled and ponds are comparatively
scarce. Yet our rainfall year in and
year out is about the same as it used
ito be- We have wet and dry years.
Everybody remembers four years ago
what an excessive wet spring we had.
Even the Oldest inhabitant, after Wig
orously scratching his head, could re-
call nothing that beat it in the way of
precipitation. However, we shall pro-
badly have dry seasons in the future,
as we have in the past, and then some
people will say drainage is RESPONSE
BILE for it.
If rainfall in the Yellowstone irriga-
ton district has increased it may be
due to conditions tending to hold
moisture in mountainous regions that
do not exist in Iowa. But more likely
it Just happened" and the chances are
that over a period of years the rain
fall there will average about the same
as it has in the past.

No DANGER OF WAR.

1t is too early after the great war
for the people of this country to be-
come excited over possible armed
conflict with Japan. The japanese
government is in no condition to wage
war and if it were it would hardly
risk conclusions with the United
States. Our navy is stronger than
that of Japan, which fact alone is
enough to pursuade that country not
to invite hostilities. Moreover, Japan
would have to transport soldiers
something like six thousand miles, Il
herculean task of itself. If she should
send over couple of millions of men
and if by some unthinkable accident
should be able to land them upon our
western coast that is as far as they
would ever get, and large per cent
age of them would never see their
dear old Japan again.
Japan could, Of course, declare war
upon the United States and take pos
session of the Philippine islands and it
might be impossible for the United
States to dislodge her. In that event
we would have to transport soldiers
six thousand miles or more while the
Philippines are right at the door OF
japan. But Japan is not going to de-
clare war against this country. At
least not for many years to come.
But there is no real occasion for
such speculations. Friendly relations
exist between the United States and
Japan and these relations are not going
ito be deliberately set aside by the is
land power of the orient. Japanese
statesmen are far:seeing and even if
they believed they had grievances
'warranting declaration of war the
impossibility of their country defeat
ing the United States would deter
them from becoming the aggressors.
However, the United States govern
ment and people should treat japan
fairly and honorably, just as fairly and
honorably as they should IL Japan had
power to issue and enforce edicts COM
handing respect and fair treatment

STATE TAX MONEY.

In discussing the question OF retain
ing tax money in the counties where
collected until needed by the state, as
suggested by GOvernor-elect Kendall
and for which purpose the senator from
the Webster Calhoun district announces
that he is preparing a bill, the Free
MANI Journal of recent date said among
other things:
TAX money belonging to the state
Ought to remain in the counties where
collected as long as the interests Of
the state do not suffer-"
In referring to this proposition a
contributor signing himself Q. A. Will
lis writes the Register as follows:
ct is reported and quite general
ly believed that the state treasurer

promise to pursue the policy suggested
in the above quotation.
The law of this state does not auth

state treasurer to deposit funds of the

such deposits,
The funds belong to the state. Is
not the interest on state funds to be-
long to the state under this plan!
If not the state suffers loss of reve-
nue. that must be made good. How!
BY increasing the tax levy? 1t is true
the amount of interest received by the
state on deposits of state funds is not
large but what Is the public to gain by
a change in the law if the amount now
paid the state as interest on bank de-
posits is hereafter paid to the several
counties? In either ease it is OrshOuld
