FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1913
New Hampshire has a democratic
governor for the first time in many
years. He was chosen by the" legisla
ture, and properly, having received a
plurality, though not a majority of
votes, in November.
Every day vindicates those who urged
ihe money trust investigation. Mr.
Lindbergh certainly is entitled to
eredit in the matter, and the judgment
©f Bryan, who strongly urged the in
vestigation, is seen to have been cor
rect.
With the first of the year there went
into effect in Ohio the Initative and
^Referendum, and twenty-nine other
important amendments to the con
stitution, all in the line of reform,
When, oh when will Minnesota fall in
to line? Let us hope soon.
One of the democratic members of
the legislature didn't like it because
someone said something about "demo
cratic barnacles." When the session is
©ver the democratic members will be
judged by their votes and actions on
progressive measures, and will be a
test of whether anyone of them is a
barnacle and a clog on legislation the
people desire or a helper in achieving
desired results.
Governor Eberhart endorses the In
itiative and Referendum in his mes
sage. It's pretty near unaminious now
and this important legislation should
go through this winter. The percent
ages should be workable, not too high
nor too low. The folks who are con
cerned about the people cutting them
selves with this proposed new tool, are
folks who really would rather the
people didn't have the tool at all.
o—:
The advocacy of reform measures by
aien not at heart, or, judging by their
record, favorably inclined to such
measures, is generally looked on with
suspicion, and with reason. While the
light holds out to burn, of course the
vilest sinner may return, and re
pentance should not be questioned if
accompanied by good works. It will
pay, however, to closely scrutinize
legislation fathered by these gentry.
The joker may be there, or the loop
hole of evasion, or methods to make a
law unpopular by making it clumsy
and difficult in execution and slow in
itperation.
The Springfield Republican well says
that the democratic party, if it is ever
again to be accepted and trusted, as
the party of Jefferson and Jackson was
accepted and trusted in the old days,
must face the future with unfaltering
Seart and resolute courage and
concentrated will. It would seem that
of the historic democratic party it
could now be said, in the lines of
Ingall's sonnet on ''Opportunity":—
It is the hour of fate,
And those who follow me reach every
state
Mortals desire and conquer every foe
Save death. But they who doubt or
hesitate—
Condemned to failure, penury and
woe
Seek me in vain and uselessly implore
1 hear them not, and I return no more.
The St. Paul Dispatch in large type,
5n an editorial three columns wide, an
xounces that it is its great duty to
inrn the light of publicity on public
officials. All of which is well and
proper and in the interests of the
people. But the Dispatch does not mean]
all officials, unfortunately. Such of
ficials, city and state, as it is interested
in for personal or political, reasons,'
need never fear the Dispatch, as .has
been shown repeatedly. So that its pro
fessions of public duty are the veriest:
buncombe, and it knows it. Then again,
Idw about the light of publicity or
corporations. Co ^ou ever find it in tiie
Dispatch on thfe corporations, banking,
railroad and street car, in which the
people are eoncdrnfedf Brother Paradis
.«f the Midway News throws the light
into many dark places, fearlessly,
doesn't get any help from the twin
daily.
We do not see that there would be
any difference between the appointment
ef committees by the speaker and the
appointment by the speaker of a
committee on committees to select the
committees. Such a committee would be
representative of the speaker "s will.
If the committee on committees were
efiosen by the whole house, however,
it would be more representative, but
even then could easily become a
tyrannical power unless there were
safeguards. Some system of proportion
al representation might be worked out
which would be truly representative,
and, one of the vital things would be
to abolish the rule of seniority. An
incompetent does not become wiser by
successive elections, at least rarely.
The fact that his constituency re
elects him should not necessarily give
him consideration over the abler man,
who serves for the first time. Of course,
fhe able, competent legislator who
serves several terms, (becomes more
skilled in constructive legislation than
new
men, and deserves first consider
ation.
There should, however, be no
fard and fast rule as to seniority. If
a .workable and fair method of ap.
-u peintment of committees can be de
t. %ised« it should•be made a law, and
*-«st simply a rule.
LOUIS W. VASALY
Representative Vasaly of Little Falls
introduced a sweeping anti-discrimina
tion bill, similar to the South Dakota
law recently declared constitutional by
the supreme court of the United Stated
It prohibits the sale of any commodity
by a corporation at lower rates in one
locality than in another, except as
freight rates may justify a difference.
The state already has a law applying
this principle to oil products. The
penalty is a fine of $200 to $10,000.
A copy of the bill appears in another
column.
Union labor is standing by most of
the men convicted at Indianapolis, and
naturally and properly so. They will not
accept the result as final until the
highest court so declares. If the nation
al government were as tenacious and
energetic in sending a lot of corrupt
industrial magnates to jail as it has
been in the case of the labor leaders,
there would be less criticism of the
Indianapolis trial.
It is understood that European
stockholders of the Great Northern
will ask for an investigation. The
road has never missed a dividend, but
there are iears about the next one. It
has leaked out that the waiters in
diuinii' ears, with a reckless abandon
and thoughtless prodigality foreign to
every tradition of the road, have been
placing a glassful of toothpicks before
the diners, instead of only one tooth
pick to the plate. The shock^has con
tused so many of the patrons that they
have been unable to count their change
and have only came back to normal
conditions/ after a long rest in the
smoking compartment. Jupiter nodded
occasionally, and so it is not surprising
that this toothpick matter may have
escaped Mr. Hill. He will need all
the resources of his fertile mind to
properly explain to the stockholders
how this slip occurred. And the caitiff
in charge of that car! We tremble to
think what will happen to him.

TARIFF FALLACIES ANSWERED
The Commoner: The following ques
tions were submitted to Mr. Bryan by
a representative of the Boston Tran
script. The answers will be found fol
lowing the questions.
First. The possibility of lowering
the cost of living by tariff reduction.
Answer. Tariff reduction can lower
the cost of living to the extent that
tariff duties have increased that cost.
Where the price level in this country
is, through the operation of tariff du
ies, raised above the price level in other
countries, it can be reduced by reduc
ing the tariff.
Second. The possibility that low
ered cost of commodities would be fol
lowed by lower wages.
Answer. A lowering of wages would
not necessarily follow a lowering of the
tariff. Wages do not depend upon the
tariff but upon competition between
wage earners. A reduction in the
prices of the product would naturally
increase the demand, and an increase
in demand would increase the number
of employes necessary to produce the
larger quantity demanded, and thus the
tendency would be to increase wages
rather than lower them. The protec
tionists have for a generation threat
ened a reduction in wages if the tariff
is reduced, but the threat does not rest
upon an economic basis, and it is evi
dent that it has failed this year to
make the impression that it has in for
mer campaigns.
Third. The possibility that there
might then be the same discrepancy
between wages and cost of living.
Answer.
This question is hypothe
tical and it is answered in the answer
to the second question.
Fourth. The possibility that tariff
reduction would entail new.. taxation
for revenue which would bear just as.
heavily.
Answer. This question seems to as
sume that a reduction in taxation would
not result in j^irfer revenue. It is not
only possible,. but probable that a re
duction iri the tariff would increase the
revenue fcy increasing the imports and
at the saine time- increase the demand
for labor by increisfcirig the domestic
output" prohibi
'tWy it may insult in*pla«ing A heavy
burden upon the consumer without
yielding any.^i»v«^e^atvall.. It is:
common mistake of ^protectionists to
.measure, the, burden"borne by JJite ion*
sumer by the amount of the t&xes col?
lected, whereas the people may'jiiay to
the protected inter&ti many titties the
amount that reaches the treasury. If,
for instance, we import one-tenth as
much of a given article as we consume
and the domestic industrv: collects ap
proximately the full amount of the tar
iff, the burden upon fhe pfeople is tot
times as gTeat as the amount received
by the government in revenue. In
such a case a reduction in the tariff
might double the revenue and at the
same time compel such a reduction in
the price of the domestic article as to
greatly increase the demand and thus
.aid the consumer and the laborer.
The fourth question permits of an
additional answer, namely, that no
new form of taxation'would be likely
to bear as heavily upon the masses as
tariff taxation, for there is no other
form that bears more unequally Upon
the public. It would be difficult,
therefore, to find A new system which
would not be more just to the masses
than the tax on consumption which
they have so long borne--* system un
der which the poor man pljfs more
than his share, and the rich less
than his share.

Climate best suited to growing rye:
Any spring wheat region will be found
raited to rye. It will also grow well
In winter wheat districts, but in the
latitude of the 45 degree parallel will
probably 'grow best rye.
Methods of preparing the ground:
Plowing (sub-surface packing if dry),
rolling and disking if lumpy harrow.
Depth to plow for rye: Depends on
the soil 6 to 7 inches for sandy to
clay soils.
Preparing the seed bed: Depends
Dn conditions of soil. Make it fine and
firm.
Best fertilizers for rye: Barnyard
manure used with a good 4, 5, 6 or 7
fear rotation of crops.
Disking for rye: Good crops of fall
rye have been grown on cereal stubble
Insect enemies of rye—how to com
bat: Does not seem to be bothered to
any appreciable extent
How to take care of crop after har
dest: Shock thresh at once as soon
is dry, or stack. It will not pay to
itack if it can be threshed from shock.
Rye as food for animals: A little
fceavy—laxative.
Rye as human food: O. K. More
of it should be used. People have a
false idea of what is best for health
ind fashion.
Rye as cover crop: A good cover
irop.
Value of rye as green manure: One
the best—the best not counting the
legumes.
Profits in rye growing compared to
»ther grains: A top notcher. Just as
pood as any when properly grown.
Rye as a forage crop: Excellent—
pffers great opportunities as a green
pasture both fall and spring, and will
ifterward produce a profitable seed

FERTILIZER FOR THE RYE CROP
[National Crop Improvement Service.]
Many farmers have much to learn
Ibout growing rye. This is shown by
the large number of poor rye crops
reported on every hand, and yet good
crops of rye can be grown without
nuch trouble and expense. The
lentlal thing is to use the right kind
pf fertiliser.
