4 GOOD EXAMPLE.

Colonel Smith w. Bookhart, of
Washington, Iowa, expended S454.
in the campaign which won him
the Republican Senatorial nomina-
ton, according to his official state
ment. The statement filed and writ
in ink by Colonel Brookhart was un-
usual:
Il received meals and lodging
from farmers and laboring people
many different times and was driven
through county on automobile
trips several different times without
expense. individuals, farm organi--
cations and newspapers supporting
me did so at their own expense.
Halls were furnished without cost.
He received S1S7 for his campaign
lund, only two persons contributing
cash.
Inc above is worthy example
and it shows that the people of Iowa
are awake and expect the man who
goes TO the United States Senate
from their State to serve them. If
IT were possible, and it is up to the
people to make it possible, for all
men to get nominations and be elect
cd to office without being grated
Tor money on every hand, it would
be possible for better men to get in
to office and better service would
be rendered the people. There is
even such a thing as the people be-
ing interested in their government
and 10 even make an effort to know
Tor what candidates for office pro-
pose to stand.

THE NEW TARIFF.

Eggs .v!lich have been duty free
VIII have Il duty of 8 cents Der doz.
Butter. under the Underwood Tar
III, has duty Of 2 l-2 cents Der lb.
under ';hc new bill it will be 8 cents
LII increase of 220 per cent.
Under the old law, milk is free.
the new law it is fixed at 2 ID cents
per gallon.
The Irish potato will carry a tariff
of 30 cents per bushel.
Flour, which has been duty free
Will carry tariff of 78 cents per
hundred pounds.
These arc a few illustrations of
rates and what the new tariff hill
means to the consumer.
Figures gotten together in New.
YORK City show that it is possible
10 boost prices under the pending
tariff bill on the average of $4,000
per Individual or $4,000 per family
of five.
II the original producer were to
get the benefit of the tariff in the
control of the price at which HE
sells there might be some little
general benefit to be derived from
II, but this is never the case. It is
the final speculator who gets the
benefit and the consuming public is
placed at the mercy of the specula-
Tor who can raise prices just as
hl9h as these tariff rates permit.

OREGON NOW PAYING
 HERK- SERVICE MEN
THREE THOUSAND CHECKS ARE MAILED OUT, AGGREGATiNG EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AS BEGINNING

SALEM, Oregon, March 9.-The first payment under Oregon's state bonus act were madet oday when three thou sand checks aggregating $S00,000 were mailed out to the applicants through out the state.
 A majority of the men have applied for the three thousand loan on real es- tate for the purpose of acquiring
 homes according to present indica- tions. Applications will be received up to May 25. Until that time the men who applied for cash payment may change to the loan if they desire. An attempt is being made among ex-ser- vice men to persuade as many as pos sible to prefer the 5000. loan since this would be invested in property and have a permanent effect favorable to general prosperity.
 The total amount of the State bo- nus will be about S3O,OO0,0O0. The inn petus to the building movement al- ready is being felt in all parts of the state.
 The Veterans commission which has charge of the disbursements an- nounces its plans so nearly perfected that the entire bonus will be paid without delay as fast as the applica- tions for cash and loans are properly authenticated by the county apprais- CTS and attorneys.
 Many ex-se-vice men age buying res idence lots in the cities and towns, plannig to use the $3,O00 loan as the major part of their home building fund. Many others are buying tracts of fertile land close to markets with a view to making themselves indepen- dent for life in agriculture
 The Veterans commission is encour- aging home building in every possible way and building boom is indicated in almost every country. 2
