Hank the Pluto

In the last ten years the Rockefeller
Foundation has received about $685.
100000 from John d. Rockefeller, and
has disbursed about S94.00O,000, be-
sides pledging Sis.000.O00 from future
income. Nobody doubts that the
money has been most wisely spent for
the benefit OF mankind Mr.. Rookie
Teller is no longer the worlds richest
man. Henry Ford has taken his place.
When will the latter be able to give
an accounting such as that for the
Rockefeller fortune9 Perhaps he
thinks that the marketing of cheap
automobiles confers a marked benefit
on the world. even though he makes
1 hundred millions a year in the pro-
,ess.

Americanism in Tariffs

When one attempts to discuss the
tariff question. he Immediately lays
himself open to the charge of argu-
ing partisan politics. The tariff ques-
ton is business proposition and not
a political issue. Wage and working
conditions are the biggest factors in
establishing the price of practically all
commodities. The publisher knows
from experience that il he pays union
wages and works on an S-hour day he
has to get a certain price for his ad-
vertising which twenty years ago
would have been considered outrage
ously high aad yet the present wage
which he pays and price which he
charges for his advertising is the re-
Election OF increases all along the line
in every commodity. If a foreign
newspaper produced with labor paid
from one-half to one-thrd OF what the
American publisher pays and working
much longer hours, could be shipped
in here at half the price for advertis-
ing and subscription rates. it would
leave the American publisher in bad
FIX unless the advantages the foreigner
thus had were equalized by some form
of tax assessed against him when he
entered this field Many industries
find themselves in just such position
as the publisher would be under such
conditions.
The result has been the tariff. There
have undoubtedly been unjust tariff
laws enacted and abuses just as there
are mistakes and abuses in every walk
of life but the exception does not
prove the rule wrong. The American
people must learn to consider certain
basic principles vital to the prosperity
of the nation. They must know the
facts in regard to such questions as
the tariff and realize that business
principles instead of political log-roll-
ing should guide in the solution of
'hese problems.

Cooperative Marketing

Agriculture produces enough to
feed the people the year around blu,
some of this production should be
stored to eliminate the over supply al
the times Of harvest or during periods
of high production. 1t can then be
thrown upon the market in accord
ance with consumptive demands.
Cooperative marketing is still In its
infancy. In q few localities where
farmers have been properly organ.

adequate facilities to store their prod
ucts they have been able to consider.
ably stabilize prices. to the advantage
OF both producer and consumer.
Farmers are looking for a scientific
merchandising basis upon which to
market their products. 1t is extremely
important that they organize rightly
on the commodity basis and secure
efficient capable management and ade
quate financing. This cannot be done
In day, q week. or a month, nor In
five or even ten years. 1t must be by

only the farmer, the last group OF

No Danger

Woodrow Wilson believes that the
American republican government is
threatened by revolution. The Trib-
une cannot lose confidence for one
moment in the underlying common
sense of America despite this doleful
prediction from SO eminent student
of American economic and political
life.
This is not the first time that talk
Of revolution has been banded about.
Always there has been and always
there will be an undercurrent Of dis
satisfaction. !. w. W-ism is the best
expression of that sentiment today.
But despite its faults, the American
government is the best in the world.
Certainly any person with half mind
cannot conceive how this government
can be beitered by going through Rus
sia's process. particularly when there
is always available a constitutional
means Of reform.
In years past il was organized labor.

POTATO MARKET INFoRma

price. Following this quotation M.
tato growers in Kansas became alarm
ed. thinking that there must be An
over-supply in Idaho and they in turn
cut the price still lower, quoting 8 IN
delivered to Texas points against
market of $500.
These quotations from two widel,
different sections upset the marke, and
caused buyers to feel that the con-
dition existing last year would IN.
doubtedly occur again. Buyers ac-
cordingly insisted that cars be rolled
to them before making purchases. In
der these conditions and the heavy
shipments out of Kansas, prices have
steadily declined until on July q DO
tatoes were selling from Sl0O to $3.50
delivered in Chicago.
Reports from different sections OF
the United States, however. indicate
nothing alarming in the potato situa-
ton. Government reports show an
indicative production below the aver
age. Recent reports from Colorado
indicate 20 per cent less acreage than
last year. while reports from Kearney.
Neb., indicate so per cent less acre
age than last year. In New Jersey the
acreage has been reduced approx
mately IS per cent. Reports from sec
tons all over the u. s. indicate that
everywhere the yield this year will be
reduced per acre over last year With
the heavy shipments now coming out
Of Kansas, the peak will be reached by
The end of this week and shipments
will rapidly decline thereafter
With the above facts before US. il
seems that the thing for Idaho grow

Zig potatoes until the market recov-

'ecover, no one. of course, can say.

assured of fair market this year and
hey should refuse to move their pota-
oes until such market is available.

ing a trail of wine, women and
song" that had led them across the
United States and even into Canada
and Mexico, arrested Lieut.. Carroll
Forrest Bennett, former naval Of
ficer, formerly Of this city. Four
years ago, the warrant for the Heu-
tenants arrest reads, he absconded
with SIS, 900 from the Navy Depart
ment here.
Department of Justice agents were
not the only ones left in the walks
Of the fleeing officer. Broken
hearted women whom he had wooed
ardently and successfully, it is said,
were left to tell a sobbing story
of their love for a handsome young
man who always spent freely.
In San Antonio the fugitive was
arrested under. the name of I'D. H.
Lane" He had so ingratiated him
self in the ranks of higher society
that he had won a young lady who
was decidedly eligible" He had
made his place in the best of society
in the Texas city and he was all
prepared to take up a life in the
oil fields when the ever vigilant arm
Of the law reached out for him.
It was during the war time that
the one-time dashing young officer
worked in this city. He is said to
have made an impressive appear
ance on the minds of younger sub
debs with his winning smile and
clean-cut features. The temptation
to spend freely got to be habit
and when the war was over and he
was about to be denoted back to
the ranks, he is said to have told
friends that he could not live much
longer but he hoped the remainder
of his life would be worth while.
Two charges have been placed
against Bennett. The first charge
is that of desertion. On that he
will be tried in New York. Later
on he will be brought to this city
where the charge of embezzlement
will be placed against him.
