For instance, If freight charges on wheat all over
the world were reduced so per cent it is certain that
no single group at either end Of the scale would re-
ceive the benefit Of all that reduction. AT one end
the price Of wheat would be somewhat advanced,
and az the other the price Of -four would be, some
what reduced. Just in what proportions the divi-
sion would be made nobody can tell.
But when we are considering the effect Of
rates on American railroads on the prices received
by American producers and paid by American con-
It is clear that it is the producer who is
chiefly interested. We produce more, wheat than
we use. Several hundred million bushels-about
of our ~crop--must find a market abroad.
In the foreign markets, wherever they are situated,
that wheat meets other wheat from all over the
world. Grades being equalized, the foreign pur-
chaser will pay for American wheat just what he
has to pay for other w~heat--no more. Wheat in
the American market, whether New York, Chicago
or Minneapolis, will bring the price that it com
mands in Liverpool, less what it costs to put it
there. And it will bring the farmer the price at the
terminal, less what it costs to get it to the terminal.
Il that cost is reduced, the farmer will get more for
his wheat.
What is true of wheat is true of all other pro-
ducts which are staples of worldwide production
and distribution. It is not always true of special
for which there is a special and local de-
mand and a strictly localized supply. A farmer.
who has a particularly choice variety Of seed wheat
may name his own price for it, and the purchaser
pays the freight. But in the marketing Of the gen
eral run OF farm products under ordinary conditions
the rule holds.

BURTNEss ON THE TAX BILL.

q Congressman Burtness displays his usual bal
Re in his brief discussion of the revenue bill just
ablished in The Herald. While he does not indi-
he precisely the further changes which he would
&'gfer to see made in it, he indicates that he does
d regard it as entirely perfect. Nevertheless he
s4ieves it an Improvement over the bill as origin
~ introduced and a decided Improvement over the
IA which is now in operation. For that reason he
ends to support it by his vote and influence. His
aEtude is one OF common sense and sound judg-
gsnt. He has endeavored to secure changes which
Nbelieyed to be desirable. He has seen some Of
Use changes made, and the general result being
y improvement and presumably about the best
Bich is likely to be reached, he accepts it and will
hport it. 1t IS on that basis, and on that basis
me that legislation is possibleA The member Of
body who insists on all of his plans and
ss,oses everything which does not include them
ESsire, wastes his force in ~fruitless effort and is a
9dless member Of the body to which he belongs.
I Among the specific features Of the legislation
Itch Mr.. Burtness mentions are the excess profits
and the income surtax. The original bill pro-
8sed that the excess profits tax should be abolish
land also that the higher surtax should be con-
saed, both Of these changes to be retroactive to
sauary LIST, of this year. As. Mr.. Burtness points
b, these conditions would have been entirely UNI
under existing circumstances. The ex-
III profits tax is undoubtedly passed on to the con
SS5ler, IN increased measure as it is subjected to
Scessiye transactions. The high income surtaxes
a~sourage investment in productive industry and
site the locking up of funds in tax-free securities.
III as Mr.. Burtness points out, all Of the condi-
5Raas which can affect the working out of these tax
HIS for this year all have been substantially real
"a. To make the new law retroactive therefore
shld have been to grant unreasonable exemptions
persons who have already taken advantage of
I3Y opportunity to adjust themselves to the con
EkRons as they exist. 1t would be far better to

jAaf is eminently sane, and the people Of his dis

BIRDS AND

a correspondent at Kenpton makes a plea for
the birds, and as a means of protecting them She
suggests the determination Of squirrels. Her expla-
nation OF the marauding habits Of the little squirrel

animal and is a destroyer Of birds eggs, and Young
birds. Everyone who has observed its habits at ali

bird of a group of birds defending a nest

Joe Davis and Henry Martin, and
claiming to be from Grccaville, were
captured coming into EasleN about
6 o'clock Monday morning with 81
gallons of liquor. Officers Chapman

reason that advertising was ever Gre

business men learned that they could
buy white space in publications at a
minimum cost and because of the
message they would put into that
space they could make profit on
one transaction and make the adver.
