Louisville, Ky., April 28.—An appeal

to the efforts of Mrs. Cross that the
indictments were returned against the
fifteen men charged with the killing'
of Callahan.
For weeks after the killing she rode

mountains gathering evidence against

the harvest time the older brother
said to his wife: “My ’ brother is a

some of the sheaves from my side of
the field over on his, so that when he
sees them in the morning his heart
will be cheered by the abundance.4
And he did.
That night the other brother said
to his workmen: “My brother has a
houseful and many months to till. I
am alone and do not need all this
wealth. I will go and move some of
my sheaves over on his field, so that
he shall rejoice in the morning when
he secs how great is his store.” And
he did. And they did it that night and

Estimated That to add $1.50 per

$180,000,000 Into Treasury.
:
Washington, April 29.—Representa-
tive Vaughan of Texas today made
good on one of his campaign promises
to the extent of introducing a bill
looking to the separation of the liquor
interests from a part of their profits.
Mr. Vaughan says $180,000,000 a
year is a conservative estimate of the
amount that the distilleries and brew-
eries would have to give up if his bill
were enacted into law.
The plan proposed in the Vaughan
biB is to place the internal revenue
tax on malt and spirituous liquors at
exactly the same figure as the tariff
duties on those articles. . That would
produce a condition whereby foreign
liquors could come into competition
with American distilleries and brew
eries on an equal basis. The present
tax rate on whiskey is $1.10 per gal
km; the import duty is $2.60, a protec
of IL50 per gallon to the distil-
leries, according to Mr. Vaughan’s cal-
culations. He would put the Internal
revenue tax at $2.60 per gallon so
that the protective differential in fa-
vor of the American distillers would
be wiped oqt. He figures that more
liquors would be imported
less distilled in this country with
| tiie result of reducing the making of
liquor in the United States.

key distilled is 120,000,000 gallons;
the amount imported, 4,000,000. Of
beer, the amount brewed is 2,000,000,-
000 gallons; the amount imported is
negligible because the import duty
is about 800 per cent advalorem. The
purpose of my bill is to let the Govern-
ment get the benefit of the high tariff
levied on imports of such liquors, in-
stead of the distillers and brewers who
produce this stuff iu this country.
“If Congress will increase the inter-
hal revenue tax to equal the tariff it
will take away from the liquor lords
much of the power they now possess;
and it will pqt in the Government
treasury the immense amount of mon-
ey that the tariff now causes to flow

' “There are 120,Q00,0O0 gallons, of
spirits distilled in the United States
every year, and 2,000,000,000 gallons
of beer brewed and if the Internal rev-
enue tax were raised to equal the tar-
iff, it is safe to estimate that it would
put $600,000,000 In the treasury every
year. This amount together with the
amount that could be raised by an in-
come tax and a tariff on luxuries,
would be sufficient to run the Govern-
ment economically administered, and
the outrageous tariff system could be
abolished at least so far as It lays
any burden upon the masses.”

COTTON IN THE ROTATION.
Those who produce crops and ani-
mals for their home supplies and cot-
ton as a surplus crop only are not so
much concerned over the acreage that
will be planted in the South this year.
There is only one practical, legiti-
mate and economical way of reducing
the acreage in cotton and that is to
plant more of the crops to supply the
family table and to provide ready
cash, thus leaving less of the farm
f > • cotton.
So long as cotton is the only money
crop it will continue to provide little
money. Whether the price be high or
low, those who depend upon cotton to
pay for their necessities and to pro-
vide a surplus cash for their luxuries
will be disappointed. The production
cf cotton is too expensive to be grown,
as the principal crop. Those who per-
sist in growing it for their soil de-
teriorates.
Cotton is a good crpp in many sec-
tions of the Southwest to plant as a
surplus crop to supply cash in the
fall and to employ teams and hands
that might otherwise be out of em-
ployment at certain seasons. It is,
however, very expensive to produce
and requires much hard labor that
may be hard to secure.
Do not worry over the acreage that
will be planted in cotton this year,
but see that there Is an abundance of
other crops for feed and for your
family table planted on your own
farm. This will reduce your depend-
ence upon cotton and minimize the
dangers of “overproduction.”—Farm
and Ranch.
The above from Farm and Ranch is
true as preaching. If we raise on the
land corn, hay and meat (crops that
are within the reach of every farmer)
we won’t have to depend on buying
chops and grass to feed the stock on
through winter and crop time and
paying therefor out of the cotton re-
turns. The farm is designed to grow
those things essential to animal
life and the man who fails tp use the
means within his reach will not be
profitable farmer.
