TaRIFF REVISION asked
East is in Favor of Free Raw
Materials.
WESTERN IDEA STRONGEST
That the Tariff Shall be Taken off
of the M a n u tured
Products.
WESTERN IDEA STRONGEST

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 The de-
mand for tariff revision among Eastern
Republicans, which has resulted in the
selection of revsionists in some East
ern districts, takes an entirely different
turn from that of the West The men
who are insisting that the tariff shall be
revised in the East are not particular
about having any manufactured
products touched. They are demand
ing coal, iron ore, hides, wool and other
raw materials for the purpose of en-
couraging Western manufactures. In
the Middle West the demand seems to
be that the duty shall be taken off the
manufactured products, especially those
which are sold in foreign countries
cheaper than they are at home. That
the Western idea will prevail seems
quite probable, as free raw materials
never had much support except along
the Atlantic seaboard.
That the demand for tariff revision
will grow instead of diminish is appar-
ent when some important facts become
known in the whole country. For in
stance, it is found that Belgian steel for
tho buildings at the ST. Louis Exposi.
ton can pay the duty at Is per cent less
than the cost if furnished from the steel
trust in this country. 1t is said that
Montana men have been able to buy
American steel that has been shipped
to Manitoba by United States manu-.
facturers, pay the duty and get it for a
less rate than they coull before it was
sent out of this country. These re-
ports have not been exaggerated. ,Tney
will 60 long way to popularize the
Babcock bill.
Notwithstanding the fact that one
Massac husetts Congressional district
has nominated Republican who made
his fight on a tanlfrevison platform,
Lodge bitterly censures Republicans |
who are raising the revision cry and |
urging reciprocity with Canada. He |
says the latter 10 impossible, as any at

To Com bine schools.

Salem, Sept. 25.-A law authorizing
school districts to combine aud conduct
one school for several districts, is .
measure that will be proposed for enact
ment by the next Legislature. A simi-
lar law is in force in some of the East
ern states and is found entirely satis-
factory. In Ohio such law has been
on the statute books for 10 years, and
so successful have the combined dis
tricts been that the people would not 60
back to their former method of conduct
ing their schools.
The plan Is commonly known as the
Capitalization OF country schools, and
ths purpose is to increase the efficiency
OF the schools by bringing more pupils
together, and thus providing a larger
fund. Under this plan it is possible to
conduct school more months in the
year or support more grades with the
expenditure OF no more money.

Protest the Reserve.

Washington, Sept. 25.- Many protests
are being received by the Genera! Land
Office against the creation of the pro-
posed forest reserve in the Blue Noun
tain region of Eastern Oregon, to in.
clude the lands recently temporarily
withdrawn from entry. Stockmen com
plain that such reserve would inter-
fere with grazing, and mining interests
assert that the development of the min
eral deposits IN the Blue and Straw
berry Mountains would be materially
retarded ii not entirely checked. Some
complaints coDfine themselves to specific
portions of the withdrawal, pointing out
that various tracts are not sufficiently
valuable for their timber to be en-
bodied in forest reserve. The Geolog-
zeal survey now has party examining
the lands under withdrawal to deter
mine what sections, if any, shall be
from the final reserve. 1t
is assured that reserve is ultimately
to be created, but final action will not

She whose lips We're never lent

Carried love in her sweet eyes;
