Had the revenue been collected on the imports
during the past five months at the rate OF 1929
II would have been si.9O97ll larger but the
country would have returned to prosperity. mills
would have opened labor would have found
work at decent wages, purchases for consump
tIon would have Increased. and the revenue
would have enlarged. In saving for consumers
81 100000 In duties by change OF policy and rate
revenue by decrease of imports owing to the in
ability Of the people to consume There could be
no more striking Illustration of the practical
working OF the two theories.
The rates Of duty on all imports and on dutia-
bic imports separately for the same hve months
compare for four years thus:

Rate on all Imports. 2Zs -lo 40 --'i
The rate for these months in 1923 was a
cause the expected change after the election in
November checked Imports OF materials for
manufacture which were usually at low rates OF
duty. The same cause raised the rates on dutia-
BILE Imports still more last year. The actual reduc-
ton effected in the burdens OF the people thus far
has been nothing like what Democrats promised
to misguided supporters and nothing like what
the defenders OF the new tariff expected when
they passed Il. II voters had known in 1877
what they now know OF the consequences or
change OF policy, few Democrats would have
voted for It, II Messrs. Cleveland and Wilson

Clearing Away for the New
Structure.

Will be of Brick.

This morning men began the work Of
clearing away the debris of the old
Salem wooden mill site aud preparing
for the new structure that is to go up.
Such material as ia useful In the way
Of casting, shafting, etc. will be saved.
Other metal will 20 to the junk man.
THE NEW STRUCTURE
that Is now proposed is to be Of brick
two story and basement, the attic to
be used for driving room, the building
on the ground 60xl52 feet. The decis-
ion tD build brick ia not final, but II
is more than likely that will be the
material used. Insurance will be less,
the building will be solder, and dan
ger from fire far less. 1t will be the
finest mill In the valley and will be
large enough for worsted and mohair
works.
Mr.. Pugh, the architect, says brick
is preferable, and 1t will take $4,000 to
put up the main walls. It will be an
imposing structure aud will mean per-
manent employment to great many
people. The mill, when fully equipped,
as Mr.. Kay now has planned, will
mean bread and butter for nearly a
thousand people. Surely there 10
great cause for rejoicing for this COM
munlty.

OLD OREGON PACIFIC TAXES
For 1894 Are to Be Collected-The
Mehama Bridge.

County Judge Hubbard returned
Saturday night from two days trip
to Albany and Mehama. AT Albany
he met Judge Duncan OF Linn county,
and Judge Burt Of Lincoln county.
Judge Hufford OF Benton was not
present. The object Of the conference
Of judges was In regard to the assess
ments of the Oregon Central d Eastern
railway. In the sale the court stlpu-
lated that the purchasers should pay
the taxes Of 1894, but asked that assess
ments be- reduced to u just proportion
Of the 500, 900 purchase price, divided
among the counties according to mile
age. This arrangement was not per-
fected. Judge Hubbard Gays this
wonld seem fair, only that counties
that have assessed the railroad for 1894
and paid their state tax on that assess
ment would not get as much as they
had paid the state. On advice Of coun-
sci the Oregon Pacific, or what is now
called the Oregon Central q Eastern,
was not listed In Marion county In
1894, and 80 this county had no tax to
pay on the property. There are about
100 miles OF the read and Judges Burt
aud Duncan were OF the opinion that
$1,000 a mile be the basis of valuation
for 1894. But there is to be another
conference on Friday, January Sd, at
Albany, when the representatives Of
the road will be heard. Whatever 10
done the share that Marion county gets
will be clear gain.
