WHEAT MATTERS.
A False Impression Regarding Grain X

A False Impression Regarding Grain Re-
Jectod ~ Damaged.
]. L. Killian came in today from his
Vansycle home, and states that elevators
and warehouses along the w, & G. R..
are filled with wheat. Exposed wheat
on the platforms has been shipped of
first by the warehousemen.
In regard to an impression which
seems to prevail that Tacoma buyers
have in some instances unjustly rejected
wheat as damaged, Mr.. Killian said to q
reporter:
'This idea is altogether foundationless
as have found out by personal observa
ton during my visits to Tacoma. l have
been all through the warehouses, and
find that in every case where wheat wa
rejected it deserved to be, since it woult
certainly spoil and rot during q six
months voyage in ships hold. l wen
down there prepared to kick, but wher
shown the mouldy wheat could havt
nothing to say. The Tacoma men ar,
only protecting themselves, and hav,
acted honestly in the inspection o
wheat"

temporary, has removed load OF anx.

manufacturing districts. The future
however, is not without grave forebod

pecially those whose output is purchased

One OF the travellers who passed
through Portland Sunday. says the Ore
gonian, was E. Smith Morgan, an East.
ern capitalist, who is interested in irriga-
ton and is now contemplating the pur-
chase of some arid lands in Eastern
Oregon with view to putting into prac-
teal use the ideas he has formulated.
Mr.. Morgan spent only few hours in
the city, but 80 enthusiastic was he that
half an hours talk was sufficient to OBJ
tain an idea OF his scheme.
81 can show some practical schemes
for making money on irrigated land" he
said. Take, for instance, the dairy and
poultry products of Oregon. The i'm.
ports OF these products into Oregon and
Washington last year amounted to about
"A, OOO, 900. Instead Of that our exports
ought to amount to double that sum
yearly, and believe this can be accom-
plished by the redemption of our arid
lands. To establish q creamery and q
cheese factory in a newly irrigated dis
trict, where competent dairymen are
settled on farms of from 40 to l60 acres
would require comparatively small out
lay of capital, In that way demand fo
a staple product could be established
and one that is possible for every small
farmer in the district to produce. TIT
creamery company would send out team
every morning to collect the milk, weiel
it and give credit for it. The farmer
should be paid in cash at the end Of eacl
month. BY my calculation, and hav
studied the question closely, this woul'
enable farmer with 40 acres Of land +

Of those who are solemhly pledged to

meaning Of an expressed desire; II pol,ti-
Cal officers are really the servants OF the
people, and if political promises and pro-
LESSONS have any binding forces, our
failure to give the relief 90 long awaited
Will be sheer recreancy. Nothing should
intervene to distract our attention or dis
turb our effort until this reform is &C.
complished bv wise and careful legisla-
ton. While We should staunchly ad-
here to the principles Of justice to all, it
is important that the imposition of tariff
duties and other federal taxation should
he limited by strict economy. We can
not close our eyes to the fact that condi.
tons have grown up among us which in
justice and fairness call for discriminate
ing care in the distribution of such duties
and taxation as the emergencies of our
government actually demand. Mani
testify, If we are to aid the people directly
by tariff reform, one of its obvious
features should be reduction in tariff
charges upon necessaries Of life. This
can only be obtained by means of un-
selfish counsel on the part Of friends Of
tariff reform, and as result their will
ingness to subordinate present desires
and ambitions to the general good.
FREE RAW MATERIAL.
This cannot be while federal legisla-
ton, through the imposition Of high
tariff, forbids American manufacturers as
cheap materials as those used by their
competitors. 1t is quite obvious that the
enhancement Of the price Of our manu-.
featured products, resulting from this
nnltpv mot only conGpoo tho hot 10,
these products within our own borders
to the direct disadvantage Of our manu-.
facturers, but fails to secure to our citi.
zens that labor which ia necessary fol-
their maintenance and happiness. Even
II the often disproved assertion could bt
made good that lower wages would re
suit from free raw material and low tariff
duties, the intelligence OF our working
men leads them quickly to discover thai
their continued employment 10 permitted
only by free material. A measure hal
been prepared by the appropriate con
gressional committee EN- bracin6 tariff re-
form on the lines herein suggested
which will be promptly submitted fol-
legislative action. 1t is the result o
much patriotic and unselfish work, and
believe it deals with the subject as con
sistently and thoroughly as existing con
ditions permit. This committee, afte
full consideration, bearing in mind thu
temporary deficiency which may exis
before the business of the country ad
justs itself to the new tariff schedules
have wisely embraced in their plan
few additional internal revenue taxes
including small tax upon incomes de
rived from corporations. In my grea
desire for the success of this measure
cannot restrain the suggestion that it
success is not less closely related to GU
peoples prosperity and we'll being tha
lie the removal Of restrictions upon tn
importation of raw material necessary I
our manufacturers. The world shoul
} be open to our national ingenuity an
enterprise.
