CROP REPORT
FOR THE WEEK
Des Molnea, June 29.—Last week
was warm with frequent showers and
excessive humidity. The mean tem
perature was 2 to 4 degress above the
weekly normal and the rainfall was
considerably above the average except
over the south central and southeast
counties where It was very light. Al
though the rainfall was heavy and in
some localitios excessive, it was bene
ficial over the eastern and extreme
western counties, but over the upper
half of the L»es Moines valley, where
the amounts were the largest, the ef
fect will be injurious, on flat and bot
tom lands. As most of the showers oc
curred at night there was nearly the
normal amount of sunshine and while
the ground, in many sections, was too
wet to work most of the time, fair
progress was made in cleaning the
corn fields ar.d majority of them are
now in good condition, and replanting
was finished on the bottom lands in
southern distrltcs.
•The warm and moist weather caus
ed an unusually, rapid growth of all
vegetation, but corn is not yet up to
the average for this time of the year.
Dry, warm weather with sunshine is
rtow needed to mature the small grain
and securing the bountiful hay crop
which is nearly ready to cut. Wheat
and barley are reported to be in ggod
condition an-1 oats are doing well ex

Dolliver Discovers a
New One in Trusts
Senator Dolliver has discovered
brand new trust, right under the nose
of Senator Lodge. In fact, its habitat
is about three miles from the home of
the Massachusetts senator, but the lat
ter didn't know it existed. As a result
of the discovery, one very Important
item of duty in the tariff will be pulled
down.
Senator Lodge was talking about
the duty on hideB, explaining how
the shoe manufacturers buy their
leather from the tanners.
"Has the senator Information ena
bling him to state whether the shoe
makers buy directly from the tan
ners?" asked Dolliver.
"I certainly so understand," said
Mr. Lodge.
"Well," said Dolliver,, "the fact is
that between' the shoe manufacturer
and the tanner stands the man manu
facturing vamps, forms and soles. Un
der this bill the maker of sole leather
gets 5 per cent, the shoe manufacturer
gets a nominal duty— and the manu
facturer of soles cut into shape gets
40 per cent, which seems to me—
"I think the senator is mistaken
about that," interjected Mr. Lodge.
"And I think I am correct about
that," retorted Mr. Dolliver. Then he
proceeded to read the language of the
bill, from various paragraphs and pro
visos, showing that sole leather is du
tiable at 5 per cent, but when cut into
soles it gets 40 per cent, while the
shoe itself gets 20 per cent. He show
ed that uppers, vamps, soles and heels
are in fact cut and manufactured sep
arately, and sold to all the shoemakers
in the country by a little group of con
cerns at Lynn, which has 40 per cent
protection and yet whose existence
was not known by the finance commit
tee. When he made the explanation
Senator Lodge apologized with:
"To tell the truth, my mind was en
tirely occupied with the duty on
hides."
Next day the finance committee
people looked into the Dolliver allega
tions, and he waa promptly hunted up.
He was found to be correct and it was
agreed that a 40 per cent on the cut
up parts for shoes, while the shoe
gets half that protection, was an ab
surdity. So the absurdity will be re
moved by a readjustment which will
deprive the vamp, upper and heel
trust of its high protection.
How that duty has managed to per
sist, affording a bulwark for a busi
ness which has come to monopolize
such an immense trade, and to make
practically all shoe manufacturers
tributary to it, is still an unanswerable
question. But it has been there, tariff
after tariff.
