Onions are moving rapidly-
Our first car was shipped Tues-
day.
It seems as though We are not
going to get our share of rain this
year.
We wish 10 call your attention

tillery Co., which will appear in

tive issues.

ONIONS ONIONS. -
We remarked in our advise to
yon in regard to onions last week,
that if conditions were the same
this year as last year, that there
would be no sale for Onions after
May 15th. 1909. We find thai
Onions being much later in this
section this year, and on that ac-
count will not mature before about
May Idtb. This is to our advan-
tage, as ail the markets have been
overfilled with early/Onions from
Laredo, Texas and we fin^l that
Laredo will be through with] the
Onion crop in the next three weeks,
and after that time we expect to
see Onions on a salable basis in
this sections. So hold your Onions
in the ground as long ao it is ad-
visable. After yon take the
Onions out of the ground, let them
lay with the tops oft them until
you are ready to bring to market.
You must dry the O u i u n s at

in urging upon congress the enact-
ment of an income tax law, thus
submitting once more the validity
of an income tax to the supreme
court. And it will be admitted,
we believe, that no senator could
have presented the question with
greater eloquence or superior lo-
gic.
While the press reports of a
VpeeclA consuming five hours in
the delivery are necessarily syn-
optic, affording but a meager idea
of so voiuminous an argument,
readers can at least see that the
subject was handled* in a masterly
manner and that the Texan met
every expectation of even bis par-
tial friends.
in the realm of political econ-
omy Senator Bailey is at home.
His democratic faith comes from
the purest Aourcfcs, and his fa-
miliar iiy with great questions
comes of persistent and.intelligent
btudy and investigation. His na -
tural gifts as an orator, logician
und debater are not dispute I. Be-
ing thus equipped, be was the man
for theocGasion and he has sound-
ed a not^that has greatly increased
the difficulties and perplexities of
those who have chosen to defend
the side of entrenched privilege.
It is not necessary here to dis-
cuss the academic question as to
whether an income tax is a direct
tax such as is inhibited by the
constitution. We shall assume
that the supreme court will s^ de-
clare, if imposed aloug the lines
suggested in the Bailey-bill. One
thing, however, is certain. Our
fiscal system will have to include
en income tax before the country
witnesses the end of tariff agita-
tion. • L
The expenditures of the govern-
ment have grown to £uch projjfor-
that the present system can nqt
produce sufficient revenue. The
internal revenue system is destined
to turn in a constantly diminish-
ing sum from domestic sources
and it is scarcely possible to in-
rreaae' the receipts from duties
ruffic ieutly to meet the needs of
the government without taxing
home consumption in such a way
as to arouse a storm among 'the
people.
The question, therefore, is: Shall
we raise the large sum of addition-
hI revet)ue needed bv increasing
taxes upon overburdened labor or
by compelling the undertaxid
wealth of the country to supply
the deficiency?
That question is not going to
down until it is settled right, and
the Aldriches and Lodges can not
learn the- fact too soon. The
Bailey |moyement for an income
j tax is going to prevail in the end,
"egardless of the action of the pre-
sent congress. The people demand
the income tax and they are going
to have it.

you bring the n here to us. Hold
yonr Onions until they tire per-
fectly matured, well dried, and
bring them to market in goo l con-
dition. The price cots no figure
as regards to quality, the lower
the price is on Onions, the better
the Onions have to be, to make |a
sale. Whenever Onions are high,
it is because there is n scarcity,
and in such case anything will sell.
