There is a eugenics law on the statute books and the officials propose to enforce this law. Habitual criminals when they learn that they are to be made harmless eunuchs will give Idaho a wide berth. We need such a law upon our statute books, as a matter of fact it ought to be a national law.

It is often stated that a reduction of tariff rates on industry would benefit agriculture. It would be interesting to know to what commodities it is thought this could be applied. Everything the farmer uses in farming is already on the free list. Nearly everything he sells is protected. It would seem to be obvious that it is better for the country to have the farmer raise food to supply the domestic manufacturer than the foreign manufacturer. In one case our country would have only the farmer; in the other it would have the farmer and the manufacturer. Assuming that Europe would have more money if it sold us larger amounts of merchandise it is not certain it would consume more food, or, if it did, that its purchases would be made in this country. Undoubtedly it would resort to the cheapest market, which is by no means ours. The largest and best and most profitable market for the farmer in the world is our own domestic market. Any great increase in manufactured imports means the closing of our own plants. Nothing could be worse for agriculture. And along the same lines we quote the following from Dr. Markus of the Richfield Reaper: The American farmer knows that lowering the tariff will not aid but will injure him in the long run. He knows that what is needed is not less protection for American workers but additional protection for certain key crops which the American farmer, fruitgrower and livestock man produce. The Bureau of Standards at Washington has hit upon a proWhat we cess which will make paper money wear longer. would like to have is a system which will make it last longer. Economy and efficiency in government functions should be the goal of every public official. |
