Economy in government expense; lower taSes"
II is unanimous. Everybody agrees. Since that
is so, there is no issue Tor the platform makers
or the campaign orators.
Democrats. republicans and independents are
represented in the poll, yet 10 line OF political
cleavage can be told by a reading oi their re-
plies IL is noteworthy that the number giving
answer is less than in other similar polls made
by The Bee and that the smaller towns are al
most entirely unrepresented. This simply cm-
phaszes the attitude expressed by those who did
reply; the editors who failed TO answer have adj
vocaed lower taxes in their newspapers for
many weeks and their silence now can only
mean that they found no second or third to add
TO this single item.
With no issue OF principle, the campaign
problem in the minds OF these editors is simply
the selection OF public officials best fitted and
most determined 10 carry the popular will into
practical effect. They consider it choice Of
individuals rather than a choice of principles.
That constitutes definite and serious challenge
to the leadership OF the various parties and to
.hc voters at their primaries The campaign

OF the relative good faith and ability of the can
didatcs. More than ever the parties must pre-

Who Gets the Money?

Washta, Ia, April 28.-To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: In your issue OF the
27th appears an editorial, "Itemizing
| the H. c. L." in which Senator
Capper is credited with the state
ment made to the National League
of Women Voters that THE farmer
receives only 80 cents of the con-
sumer's dollar" I have been try
in for some time to learn where
these saviors of the poor people get
these statistics, but am unable to
find any reliable cooperation. Be-
low give some items showing the
fallacy Of this rot. In 1914 the Kan
sas farmer received rs per cent OF
the cost of wheat delivered at Liv-
erpool. See house document 63,
Cong. No. 1871.
In 1904 the farmer received 66
per cent; 1910, 1871 per cent; 1911,
73 per cent of the price the con-
sumer paid for butter. See U. s.
Dept. of Labor. bulletin No. 164.
An investigation made in Wiscon-
sin showed the farmer received 67.7
per cent of the consumers dollar Tor
butter. See Bulletin No. 270, Agri-
culture Experiment station, Uni
versity of Wisconsin, 1915.
"A survey Ol OU Clll 10 IL uAS liioi hSto'
5,4S5 reports, showed the grower got
26.7 per cent of the price paid by the
consumer. For the 1917 crop of Cal
ifornia raisins the grower received
612 per cent Of the consumers dol
lar, and for the 1918 crop of al
monds the grower received 53 per
cent of the consumers dollar.
For the following, see Agricultural
Economics, by J. E. Boyle, PIP. 143-
147. Six thousand California peach
growers received for the 1916 crop
n per cent and for the 1917 crop
S0.3 per cent of the consumers dol
lar. For cattle the farmer received
COS per cent and for hogs 6O.2 per
cent of the consumers dollar. Eggs
from the Iowa farmer to New York |
consumer, 60 per cent. In 1905 the
United States Buriau of Statistics
showed the farmer in Kansas re-
ceived trifle more than 81 per cent |
for his wheat of the price the con-
scumer paid for the flour. See Bull
letin No. 1870.
All these figures may be subject
to revision at this time on account
of increased labor and freight costs.

that the American farmer receives

w. F. Cramb The principal issue of this
campaign will be taxes All candidates will
agree to lower them thus resolving the issue
into one of practicability. How? We suggest:
First, sweeping reduction in number of Office
holders, from stallion to butter inspectors, from
smellers of hotel bed sheets to graduate exanin-
ers of back molars. Then a vacation in the
road building program lasting long enough to
let the people get their breath from the heavy
exertions OF finding the money to pay for what
we already have contracted. Again to take
the schools out of the hands of the professional
school men, and put their control back into the
hands of the people. The schools are heavily
loaded with jumbe of schemes which have no
relation whatever to training the minds of our
youth to think Sweep these fads to the rub
bish heap, simplify the schools, let the people
run them. and cut taxes in one-half.

rather poor throwing arm. These two
things tended to save the day. for Ban
croft.
The runner on third held his base
until the fly ball was caught. The
moment it struck the hands of the
fielder he dashed for the plate.
The fielder with the weak arm
realizing that he was too deep to have
any chance of cutting the runner down
at the plate, returned the ball leisure
ly to the infield.
Bancroft, playing proper baseball,
had run out his hit to the limit and
was between first and second when
the relay came back into the infield.
Banny couldn't resist the temptation
to field the ball and toss 1t to some
other player of the team in the field.
The team in the field contended that
in fielding the ball, Bancroft had killed
a chance for a play at the plate, and
for such interference the runner who
had scored should be declared out.
The umpire at the plate, however,
ruled that the run had crossed the
plate before Bancroft ever touched
the ball, and that the act of the New
York shortstop in no way prevented
a play, since there was no play pos
sible. 1t was q close call for the brainy
Bancroft.
