Tariff Bill.
The tariff bill which recently passed
the House of Representatives vitality
affects the morale of the people. He
spoke of the interest which is being
manifested in the tariff bill hereaDouts
ard predicted that the bill will be pass
ed by the senate in short time.
The demand for readjustments in
taxes is the work next in line in con-
gress. Mr.. Dickinson expressed the
opinion that the sales tax would not be
passed as it was tax on the consumer,
tax on the very necessaries of life.
The economy program of the govern
ment was briefly discussed. At present
93 per cent of government expenditure
goes for the payment of war, past or
future. This must be remedied and a
budget system has been proposed.
Convert to Small Army.
The naval building program of 1916
should be abandoned, declared Mr..
Dickinson, and the navy personnel
should he reduced. Only large
enough army to properly police this
country in times of peace should be
said the speaker, who is a
convert to small army. Military
students should be kept working on
the science Of militarism, however.
The American people must set them
selves to weather the present conditions
with a firm faith in their government.

possible to remedy the present evils.

Of the present is transportation. Hi
believes there is promise of reduction
in grain and live stock rates and he be
lieves that even the railroads, them
selves, will lavor this within so days
time. f.
Personally he Is opposed to the sales
tax.
The state of chaos following the war
however, cannot be adjusted in few
months. 1t cannot all be done by leg
islatiOn. He believed, however, that
some progress is being made by way OF
legislation and mentioned the Capper-
Tincher and packer bills as examples
He asked his hearers to be as patient
las possible and not crock the boat y
I'VE are the best off Of any people on
EARTH" said he, ''but we are so much
worse off than we are used to that we

He stated that the agricultural in
terests are well organized in congress
and that whenever the representatives
from agricultural sections get together
they can pass any legislation they want
to.
Others Speak.
Uncle Jas Bell also said few words,
thanking the people for coming out In
SO large numbers. w. F. Cole was also
called upon and invited all old settlers
in the county to attend the county fair
on old settlers day, Sept. Z. G. H. Dick
of StanhOpe also spoke briefly. Judge
J. J.. Kamrar Of this city was called
for. The judge is always popular at
these occasions and was given a fine
ovation when he came forward. He
took strong stand for government
economy and expressed the belief that
il ought to start in congress, itself. HI.
favored cutting down the size OF the
house of representatives. He felt that
four representatives from Iowa would
be better than eleven, as now. He
Ould also cut the state legislature,
thus saving the salaries and other ex-
penses incurred by these men. As an
example he cited the old days when
Hamilton county had sixteen supervis-
ors. Now she has three and gets bet
ter and more economical administra
ton Of her business affairs.
The picnic was attended by a large
crowd from Webster City-in fact, all
parts of the county were represented
and the affair was said by many to
have been as successful meeting Of
this organization as has ever been held.

FIREWORKS APLENTY
IN NEXT 48 HOURS

Characterize HIS Plans for De-
tense After Arrest.
Chicago, July 27.-Friends Of Gov
ernor Small today promised plenty
OF fireworks in the next 48 hours
after the governors counsel tele-
sraphed Sheriff Mester of Sangamon
county (Springfie1d) that the COVER
nor would accept service of the war;
rant charging him with embezzlement
of state funds while state treasurer.
Governor Small arrived here late
last night and the decision not to re-
sist service Of the warrant was an
nounced after a conference with his
counsel. Attorney Gen. Brundage,
active in the grand jury investigation
which resulted in the indictment,
came on the same train.
I'VE wish to give the governor a
reasonable length of time in which
ito comply with the courts order"
said the attorney general. I'm such
cases three days arc usually allow
ed to arrange bail and surrender in
court" Plans of Governor Small's
counsel, it was said, are to permit
the governor to remain in custody
when the warrant is served, while a
writ OF habeas corpus is being sued
out. This would force the attorney
general to show cause why the gov
Iernor should be required to submit
to criminal trial.
Sheriff Mester replied to the tele-
gram of the governors counsel that
he would not send to Cook county
(Chicago) to serve the warrant on
the governor but would await his re-
turn to Springfield.

Water Cause Of Golfer.

Goiter is epidemic In important
zones Of South America, especially the
Andes region and certain mountain
Gus territory In tropical South Amer
lea.
Up to the present no Investigations
had been made Of the water from
golter-infested regions; but recently
Houssay has succeeded in producing
experimental golfer In white rats after
feeding them with water from the
province Of Salta. These investiga-
tions should be repeated on large
scale on account Of their great theo-
retIcal and practical Importance. They
tend to confirm the theory that water
is one Of the transmitting agencies Of
goiter.
