Ravaging Fields of lowa Farmers That some action will have to be taken by the state to protect the farmers of the eastern, part of Pottawattamle county, Tows, and adjoining territory from the ravages of the herds of wild deer now roaming the country is the opinion of Dopuity | United States Marshal Ww. A, Groneweg, who In his official capacity as deputy state game warden has been in- vestigating the matter. Mr. Groneweg re- turped to Council Bluffs last evening ater spending three days in the eastern part of the county and across the line He will make a report of the situation .to State Game Warden Lipgoln . of lowa on the latter's relurn from the south, where he now is, A dumbée of years ago Willam Cuppy, & wealthy farmer living near Avoca, & large deer preserve on his f the animals escaped from 88 the deer jump over a six or elght-foot fence with the greatest ease, The damage by deer this winter has been unususlly large.

At ome farm where Mr. Groneweg visited during his trip the owner showed him a peach orobard which had been en- tirely devastated, the deer ealing the YOung trees. “I am of the opinion,” said Mr. Grone- weg last night, “that it would be best 10 construct & big corral somewhere near the timber and them organize the. farmers of that section and drive the animals into the enclosure. 1 came across one herd of about fifty across the line In Shelby oqunty, but did not get close, as they took to the tmber."

ALL VALUES ARE ADVANCED Greatest Rise is in Items on Free List or on Articles Which s Have Been Re- NEW YORK, Feb. 12. — Senator Reed Bmoot of Utah, rapublican, had neard {rom democratic sources that possibly the Payne tariff bill recently enacted might have something to do with the advanced cost night at the banquet of the Silk associa- tion with a defense of protéction In gen- er “The tarift bill passed at the last sassion of congress,” sald Senator Smoot, “is the best tariff measure ever enacted Into law.

The greatest advances have beén upon duties were decreased, or upon whieh no advance was made over the Dingley rate. It is also noticable that the extreme ad- vances are upon the productsof the farms; \yet the advance received by the farmers is insignificant in comparison With the In- erease paid by the consumers.’ Investigntion, said Senator Smoot, has shown that there is an increase of from 200 to 800 per cent In the price pald by the ultimate consumer over the cost of manu- facture of many Imported and domestic artiolas “Something Is wrang.! he sald. in a system of distribution which will al- low such results. “Prices are advancing all over the world, in free trade countries as well as in pro- tection countries. The supply has not kept up to the demand.” Representative Phillip Pitt Campbell ot Kansas supported Senator Smoot in his de- fense of the tariff, and added: “Ifis sald that prices of farm and food products are high. They aré high. That is one of two things that makes ours the best market in the world. The other factor is & high standard of wages for American work- men."

King’s Speech Outlined at Adjourned Meeting of Mints- te: LONDON, Feb. 12. — The terms of the king's speech with which the .new Parlia- ment will be opened were finally agreed upon at today's adjourned meeting of the cabinet. Subsequently the ministers dis- persed, several going to the country for the week-end, so there will be no further conferences before Monday. According to an authorized statement given out tonight the cabinet councll ar- rived at an absolutely unanimcus .decision on the course of procedure early in the week. This statement was the outcome of numerous rumors of serious cleavage among the ministers regarding the policy to be followed. It Is confirmed that after the passage of the budget a biil limiting the veto of the lords will be announced as the chief legislative work of the year. It 1s understood that Premier Asquith has completed his cabinet appointments and only awaits the king's approval to publish them. Mr. Asquith will have an {audlence with his majesty Monday after King Edward's return from Brighton. Redmond Causes Flatter. The speech of John F. Redmond at the banquet of the United Irish league in |Dublin last night has caused consider- ‘able flutterings in the liberal press and party. He is gently reproved by the mod- (rate section of the press for what is de- clared to be an attitude caloulated seri- |ously to embarraes the government, but is wermly praised by the radicals, who have been urglig the ministers to adopt a stern and vigorous policy towerds the House of Lords. Mr. Redmond hes re- celved a joint telegram signed by three radical journals, the Nation, the Daily News and the Morning Leader. The mes- sage says: “Congratulations to you on your mag- nificent stand. The whole fighting force of liberulism is behind you." Tt is almost universally agreed that Mr. Redmond has been driven to take the |present step by pressure from the new O'Brienite party, whose bond of union fs a hearty dislike of the budget. The lberal editorfals remind Mr. Redmond that though he undoubtedly ean overthrow the govern- ment is not likely to gajn much by sueh |u course. U rofess Hope. Some of the unionist newspapers, notably the Glasgow Herald, see the possibility of a bargain with the government to get rid of obnoxious parts of the budget. They argue that the unionists might sup- port the government, should the Irish members vote against the budget, on the condition that its objectionable features be eliminated from the following year's budget.
