ON GALLON GASOLINE
Start Easy in Coolest Weather.
Other Cars Show Proportionate
Saving.

A new carburetor which cuts
down gasoline consumption OF any
motor and reduces gasoline bills
from one-third to one-half is the
proud achievement Of the Air-Fric-
ton Carburetor Co., $40 Madison ST.,
Dayton, Ohio. This remarkable in
Vention not only increases the power
of all motors from 80 to 80 per cent,
but enables every one to run slow
on high gear 1t also makes it easy
to start a Ford or any other car in
the coolest weather. You can use
the very cheapest grade of gasoline
or half gasoline and half kerosene
and still get more power and more
mileage than you now get from the
highest test gasoline. Many Ford
owners say they now get as high as
As to so miles to a gallon of gaso-
line. So sure are the manufacturers
of the immense saving their new car
buretor will make that they offer to
send 1t on 80 days trial to every car
owner. AS 1t can be put on or taken

Influences in Ireland
Working to Prevent
Peace With England

LONDON, Aug. 17.-There lis no
secret that powerful anti-English in
fluences have been at work in Ire
land In the last few days endeavor-
ing to destroy the atmosphere of
peace" said the Daily Express to-
day in commenting upon the Irish
situations The political correspondent
Of the Daily Express was inclined
to believe that Eamonn dc Valera s
speech was not the decisive Sim
Fein answer to the English offer.
The Daily News forecast that the
English government would never
recognize Ireland as a republic.
The London Times said that the
members Of the Sim Fein parliament
may take 1t for a fact that the Eng
lish mind is made up and that no
rhetoric. no sophistry and no appeal
to violence can move the electorate
Of Britain and her dominions to yield
on the one cardinal point upon which
the constitution Of the empire rests"
That one cardinal point, the Times
points out, is loyalty to the king and
admission of the sovereignty Of tho
British government over the British
empire.

At a special meeting tomorrow
morning to consider railway legisla-
ton, Congressman Zihlman Of Mary
land will offer an amendment to the
Woods bill. He will ask for the in.
sertion of a section which will force
the railway companies of Washington
to merger, in event a voluntary con-
solidation does not follow within a
reasonable time after the passage Of
the act.
The Woods bill provides for the
elimination of some of the taxes paid
by the railway companies and elimi-
mates many other expenses. The bill
further provides a tax OF so per cent
OF all earnings in excess of 7 per cent.

ny A. O. HAYWARD,
International Newu Rervins.

The open fight against the tax re.
vision bill began In the House today.
With an agreement to vote on the
bill at o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Democrats decided to make the most
OF their time In opposing the bill.
Opposition TO the bill Is being di.
rected by Congressman Claude
Kitchin. Democratic leader. from his
sick room in his home at Scotland
Neck. N. @. Kitchin's views are be.
ing forwarded here by telegraph and
will be Incorporated In the minority
report on the bill which will be filed
late today.
Claim Deficit Danger.
1t was decided today by the Demo.
Gratis that they would insist the Re-
publican tax plan would not yield the
$500, 900, 900 necessary to a safe and
sane conduct of the Treasury. and
that the attempt to get along with
less would result In a deficit de-
structive of orderly financing OF the
Government. They claim that the de-
cision Of the Republicans to collect
revenue is bad financing.
They present the further argument
that the revision OF the taxes pre-
pared by the Republicans is inequita.
BILE In that 1t lightens the burdens on
the rich, but gives little relief to the
poorer taxpayers. The exemptions
for married men and heads of families
on incomes up to $4,000 will benefit
some, but the mass of taxpayers with
incomes from $4,000 to $4,000 will
pay the Same rates as formerly.
while those with incomes of SIS. 200
will have the taxes reduced mate
rally. The greatest reduction Is on
the largest incomes. which amounts
to about so per cent.
Inequalities Shown.
The same inequality in tax reduc.
ton Is shown. they say. in respect to
the corporation net income tax which
is increased by the bill from 10 TO l2h
per cent. The corporations with small
earnings will have to pay heavier
taxes, while the corporations with
great incomes. by virtue of the repeal
OF the excess profits tax. will pay far
less in taxes, amounting, in some in
stances, to reduction of so per cent.
The Democrats decided in their con-
ference to present no substitute tax
revision bill for that presented by the
Republicans.
Republican leaders are worried to-
day over the action of the House Re-
publicans in forcing changes in the
bill delaying repeal Of the excess prof.
its and large income surfaces until
January l next. Pledges had been
given during the last campaign by
Republicans for an immediate repeal
Of these heavy taxes. and business
was counting on this relief

The 500 100000 appropriation car

Senator Townsend has accepted
amendments to the measure to fix

portions Of the federal appropriations
which may be used for the primary

per cent Of the amount allotted to each
State is to be used for the interstate

funds are to be expended. The inter.
state roads will comprise 8 per cent OF
the total mileage in the State. while
3 per cent Of the roads will be de-
veloped as inter-county highways.

POORFARMERS
TiIlers Of Soil Quitting Irrigation
Projects In Disgust, De-
cIares Bien.

The farmers in tho West arc BE-
hind in their payments to the Govern
ment for irrigation work. and they
attribute their inability to pay more
promptly to the fact that freight
rates on grain shipments are SO high
that they are unable to make both
ends meet, Morris Bien, assistant d.
rector of the Reclamation Service,
told the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today.
The commission Is conducting q
hearing on the complaint of the
farmers that freight rates on grain,
grain products. and hay are too high
and should be materially reduced.
Bien said that the farmers in the
areas embraced in the Governments
big irrigation projects in the West are
getting further and further behind in
their installments to the Government.
Quitting Farms.
Fred c. Willard. of Fargo, N. D.,
member Of the faculty of the State
Agricultural College of North Dakota,
told the Commission that the situa-
ton of the farmers in that State was
critical and had reached a point
where many of them are giving UP
their farms and are either leaving the
State or are embarking in other lines
OF industry. Excessive freight rates;
he said. are partly responsible for
this condition of affairs. The indica-
tons are, he said. that there will be
considerable less acreage planted to
grain crops in North Dakota next
years than this year.
A survey made in eight counties
In North Dakota. Willard said, show
ed that during the past two years
1.163 farmers had sold out or aban-
doned their farms, leaving l66. 900
acres uncultivated this year. Assum-
ing this condition to be the same
throughout the States, he said, it was
estimated that 1896 farmers had
either sold or abandoned their farms
during the past two years. the aban-
doned acreage being estimated at

Communications between the
Irish republican government and the
British government have been made

ward the officers and men of the Irish

hostilities will reopen in Ireland be-

the English unless they were attack

radical republicans in the Cork area

both the Irish and the English gave
pledges that a reasonable time would
be given by both sides If it was de-
cided to end the armistice.

that wisdom will guide their counsels
