COMMENTS ON THE REVENUE
BILL.
Representative R. M. Switzer of
Ohio: “The pending bill provides ma
chinery for the creation of a tariff
commission. It is to my mind an
other admission that the democratic
party has blundered fearfully in the
fixing of the tariff rates, as provided
in the Underwood tariff law. having
in view not the future welfare of
American industries but having sole
ly in view the idea of producting a
competitive condition supposedly for
the benefit of the consumer or, as
more aptly put by President Wilson,
the whetting of American wits by con
test with the wits of the rest of the
world, and by this process of inter
national grinding reduce the cost of
living. With the cost of living soar
ing, harassed and annoyed by fre
quent consignments of internal-reve
nue taxes, with an income tax year
ly increasing by leaps and bounds and
new taxes galore, even many old-line
democrats have become so exasper
ated that they are not only whetting
their wits but they are whetting their
knives for the purpose of doing con
siderable fall pruning in the demo
cratic vineyard.’’
Representative Moore of Pennsyl
vania: “You observe that the presi
dent hinted that the burdens of taxa
tion ought not to ‘bear too heavily
or too exclusively upon any one set
of persons or) undertakings.,, There
fore a tax on gasoline, a tax on bank
checks, a tax on automobiles, and
explosion engines might be accep
table to the people. That was the
President's view at that time. Do
you remember what Mr. Kitchen said
about it? Tax gasoline; not much!
Let the republicans tax gasoline. Tax
combustion engines! Oh, what a
lovely prospect. Put that up to the
republicans. Tax automobiles; well,
I guess not. The downtrodden farm
ers have automobiles and so have
the cotton growers. Tax bank checks,
well, ‘let George do it.’ The truth
of the matter is, gentlemen, that
while the president’s advice looked
fairly good on the surface, it would
not wdrk very well just now in ad
vance of the November elections.
Hence, put it up to the republicans.
Tax the rich! Double the income tax!
Soak inheritances! Dead people do
not vote.”
The defeat of administration candi
dates in the democratic primaries in
Texas cannot possibly be interpreted
into meaning the loss of the electoral
vote of Texas to Wilson—but it is
highly symptomatic of the state of
mind in that portion of the country
Wiiere the administration's Mekichn
policy is best seflii and appreciated.
And wiiat Texas thinks about it may
be found in every other state in some
degree. There is no doubt that the
Mexican question will loom large in
this campaign. It is the biggest and
the most acute of the problems which
infest our foreign relations; and out
of it have grown all the complica
tions of our intercourse with Euro
pean nations since the war began. If
Wilson had displayed a firm determi
nation to deal effectively with Mexi
co, he would have had a background
*
for his notes and notifications to Ger
many and England. But whenever
Westminister or the Wilhelmstrasse
received a near-ultimatum from
Washington they were able easily to
recall the fiasco of Vera Cruz and if
they dealt less brusquely with our
communications than Huerta did it
was only because -they were better
educated than that sturdy old Indian
was.
—
Three years ago President Wilson
first took the Mexican problem to
congress, and he then declared that
an orderly and constitutional and
fair election should be held in that
country. Since then he has taken no
steps to secure this result, but his
protegee. Carranza is supplying the
omission. Carranza has just decreed
that an election shall take place in
Mexico, at which he will be a candi
date. In order that the election shall
result in no mischance choice of a
president for Mexico, Carranza will
name all the election officers, who, in
turn, will prepare all the lists of
voters. Thus, none but Carranza
men will come to the polls and Car
ranza will be chosen. It is evident
that Carranza has studied the model
of Woodrow Wilson’s party to good
advantage. This is the piethod which
the democratic party in the South
adopts to keep itself in power. We
shall presently see how it will work
still further south, in Mexico.
The Price, As Slim
As The Suit
TO look at Adler’s Col
legian Clothes, you
might think they are a
little outside of your purse
range—but “appearances are
deceitful.” Just you take a
look at their price-tag and
you’ll see that they are with
in your reach.
You were probably puzzled
because there’s more style, fab
ric and workmanship-value
crowded into every suit or
overcoat of
ADLER’S
Collegian Clothes
than into others at the price.
It’s a logical mistake.

Hughes will get a rousing recep
tion when he'comes to Nebraska this
fall, and we believe be will get a far
bigger reception a short time later
on November 7th. Nebraskans who
will avail themselves of the privi
lege of hearing Hughes talk, will find
that his speeches are vastly different
from the reports that our democratic
friends have given out. By the time
Hughes reaches Nebraska there will
be several new developments in poli
tics and interest will be keen. Any
one who followed the career of
Hughes in his New York campaign
will not be surprised at the speaking
ability of the next president. Ne
braska will be ready for Hughes when
he comes and we believe that he will
not fail to please everybody except
the democrats.
Germany has 75,000 machine feuns;
France has 45,000; England has 35,
000. The United States has 1,000
and of these only about 600 are avail
able, the others being in the Philip
pines, in the Canal zone or in use in
coast fortifications. Yet the demo
crats in congress objected to permit
ting the State of Illinois to buy ma
chine guns to be presented to the 11
llnois militia when it was mustered
into the service of the nation. As
a matter of fact, Carranza probably
has more machine guns than we
have, and every one of them was
made in this country and was per
mitted to reach Carranza by the grace
of Woodrow Wilson.

The world’s record— twenty
two thousand and twenty-two
miles witKout stopping the
motor—is held by a Maxwell
stock touring car*
r.O.B. DETROIT
NO other car at any price has ever approached
this wonderful record of endurance.
In addition to this proven sturdiness, remember that the
Maxwell averages between 25 and 30 miles per gallon
of gasoline.
Moreover, the Maxwell is complete. It has elec
tric starter and !*:ghts; demountable rims; one-man
mohair top; speedometer; roomy, comfortable seats and
an attractive appearance.
Are you particular about details? Do you demand
evidence of value? If so, you will investigate the
Maxwell, the features, record and reputation of which
proclaim it the world's greatest motor car value.

e TO THE TEACHERS AND SCHOOL
OFFICERS OF SHERMAN COUNTY
Friday, September 22, will be
n “School Day” at the county fair. Or
this day all teachers and school chil
dren will be admitted to the fair
grounds free, providing they are at
the court house square by 10 o’clock
and take part in the school parade.
The nature of - this parade was ex
plained to teachers at the county in
stitute. As this is an educational
movement. I hope that every school
board in the county will close school
on Friday, September 22, and permit
the teachers to attend without loss
of time. A large majority of the dis
tricts will do this. I feel that the
day spent at the county fair will do
far more good for the pupils of the
eounfk' than the one day spent in the
school room. The meeting together
of the teachers and pupils of the
county will tend to give all broader
views and bring about a closer re
lationship between the schools of
Sherman county. It will bring about
a closer union of interests and assist
in creatring a more sympathetic feel
ing between the pupil and his teacher
and send him back to his school a
more cheerful, willing and efficient
worker. The day spent at the eoun
ty fair will be a day of pleasure and
profit to both teacher and pupils.
Trusting that you will join with us
in making the "School Day” the big
day at the county fair and a day of
pleasure and value to our boys and
Ugirls, I am,
Very sincerely your.
L. H. CURRIER.
County Superintendent.
This is a mighty good time for
everybody to get busy and improve
our country roads. Winter will be
coming along soon and then we will be
again lamenting the fact that the
roads are muddy, and rough, and
"getting worse all of the time.” Of
course they will be muddy and rough,
and will keep on getting worse, un
less we buck up ourselves and get
out and do something worth while.
We have never yet seen a fellow who
was not willing to get out his ham
mer and knock when the subject of
country roads is mentioned, but very
few of them are willing to use a
shovel, or a spade, or a scraper. If
■ we had more do and less talk we
would have good roads everywhere
and the family hammer could be put.
to better use.
When it’s hot we want it cold, and
when it's cold we want it hot, and
when it’s neither one nor the other
we’re just as disgruntled as ever.

MR. FARMER:

[These facts were furnished by a nember of the Omaha Grain Exchange.]
According to U. S. Government statistics, Nebraska pro
duced 213,000,000 bushels of corn in 1915, of which 20%
was shipped out of the county where it was grown. This
means that 42,600,000 bushels of Nebraska corn were sold
for shipment in 1915.
Official reports for the year 1915 show that about two
thirds of the amount shipped, or 28,000,000 bushels, was soft
corn. This soft corn was not available for elevator storage
on account of too much moisture in the corn. A small portion
of such corn can be dried, but the bulk of it was used for
distilling purposes.
According to government statistics, the estimated farm
value of corn for 1915 was 61 cents per bushel, an average
which could not have been maintained had it not been for
the fact that the soft corn was bought by distilleries at prac
tically FULL MARKET VALUE of grade corn, deducting
only for difference in moisture.
Had there been no distilleries, there would
have been next to no market at all for the soft
corn of 1915. The soft corn would certainly
have sold for about 20c a bushel LESS than
grade corn, provided it could have been used at
all.
This would have meant a loss to Nebraska
corn growers in the year 1915 of the enormous
sum of $5,600,000!
