the abandonment Of this $250,00O in
yestment. Associated with him VIII
be George H. Sutherland, w. w. Ba-
ker. E. S. Isaacs, 0. P. Jaycox, George
Ludwigs and j. G. Cutler. That COM
mittee could not be beaten for busl-
ness ability and practical knowledge
of the subject to be considered. The
Statesman hopes that every man
named will consent to serve even at
the sacrifice Of personal interests IN
order that a wise and honest solution
of the water problem may be found.
AS a committee to report on the i'm
movement of the streets of the city
and the paving Of certain blocks In
the business district, President Tur-
ner has named Allen H. Reynolds,
Ralph E. Guichard, M. H. Paxton, L.
r. Eastman and F. NJ. Pauly. No bet
fer selections could have been made.
Good men and true, all of them. The
people will have implicit confidence
in any recommendations that this
committee may make.
President Turner has blazed the
way Now let the members of the
Commercial Club follow his wise lead
ership by joining in a long and hard
pull to accomplish the three objects
that will be under discussion tonight.

AMBERLAIN'S POLICY.

The October returns of the British
hoard of trade as to British imports in
October show an increase Of $4,5l9,29O
and an increase of exports aggregating
$3631,7 45, as compared with last year
in the corresponding time. For the
ten months ending Oct. 81, imports in
creased $3O,976,54O and exports in
creased s43, O22, AIS. There was a con-
siderable increase in imports of grain,
flour and meat.
These figures do not indicate the
fearful decline of British trade insist
ed upon by Joseph Chamberlain. They
do show a steady increase of the de-
pendence of the United Kingdom upon
the outside world for breadstuffs and
meat, which the colonies do not begin
to meet.
Mr. Chamberlain, a few days ago,
expressed his conviction that he has
convinced his fellow countrymen that
it was to their advantage to adopt his
fiscal policy. If he has he has sue
ceeded after a comparatively brief pc
riod. AS the present English tariff
was not constructed with a view to
retaliatory action against hostile for
eign tariffs, Mr.. Chamberlain has had
to show his fellow citizens that the
tariff must be revised so as to leave
a tax of As cents a quarter on foreign
wheat, exempting wheat from all Brit
ish possessions; a tax of 5 per cent on
empting bacon; preference to the col
Onies on wines and fruits, 10 per cent
tax on imports of foreign manufacture
ed goods and a reduction of the duty
on tea three fourths and on sugar one
half duty, and the same on cocoa and
coffee. He has laid stress on the lat
ter reduction feature in addressing the
workingmen. The duties on manufac-
tured products, etc, are designed to
meet hostile tariffs, with retaliation,
which the present tariff does not pro-
vide for.
Colonial preference was in high
vogue during the high protective pc
riod which was brought to a close
about fifty years ago in England. The
system of colonial preferences was
then condemned as a useless burden
imposed on the consumer to favor col
onial produce in the English market
and English products in the colonial
markets. 1t diverted business from its
natural channels as the duties on for
eign products were not near the pro-
bibitive line and prices of products
were very high in England, reducing
the consumption of such essentials as
sugar.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-12-08

It is expected by Chamberlain that
the adoption of his policy will vastly
increase English exports to the col
onies and supply the United Kingdom
with bread and meat from British ter
ritory.
The colonial contribution to the
English granary is now. very insig-
nificant percentage of the supply
needed. The colonies are slow to
catch at the preferential policy. After
discussing the subject since the con-
ference of colonial premiers in London
a year and half ago, the lower house
Of the New Zealand legislature has
lust passed Premier Seddon'S bill for
preferential trade between Great Brit
ain and New Zealand. The Australian
commonwealth holds off. Mr.. Cham
berlain may succeed in convincing his
fellow citizens of the necessity for
the adoption of his policy but it will
take more than a day or a year to dc

ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

The Commercial Club is on the right
track and the organization deserves
the encouragement and support of
every citizen of the town in its effort
TO promote public improvements in
Walla Walla. President Turner be-
lieves in deeds rather than words and
he is going about his work in a prac-
teal way that proves him to be the
right man in the right place. Never
before has the Commercial Club been
so strong and never before has there
been such unanimity in the earnest
purpose to promote the growth and
prosperity of the city.
Tonight the club will consider three
important questions, viz: a gravity
water system, the paving of the streets
in the business section and the reten-
ton and Improvement of Fort Walla
Walla. Resolutions covering these
subjects have been drawn up and pub
lished so that the members of the club
will have had time to consider each
of them before engaging in the discus
sion at tOnight's meeting. The gem
tlemen suggested as members or the
committees to recommend action on
these questions are practical business
men of sound common sense and ex-
cellent judgment, and any conclusions
they may reach Will have weight with
the club as whole and with the peo-
pie.
EX-MayOr Betz is named as the
chairman of the committee to report
on a gravity system. 1t was Mayor
Betz who negotiated the deal for the
purchase of the present water system
from the Walla Walla Water Company
and his judgment as to the investment
being a safe and profitable one has
been indicated by four years test of
municipal ownership. The taxpayers
can rest assured that Mr.. Betz will not
sanction any scheme that contemplates

The people will forget all about it be-
fore two years."
This record shows what kind of
friend of a railway commission he is.
The railroads hope to fool the people
with him by running him on COM
mission platform, knowing that II
elected governor he will either veto
any commission bill that may be pass
ed by the legislature or else appoint
a commission that will do the will
of the railroads.
But Pickrell on such platform with
such a record will find that his name
is Pickle when the people have turned
the vinegar of their displeasure upon
him. The democrats want nothing
easier than to beat Pickrell with some
such consistent champion of a rail-
way commission as Senator Warren
Tolman of Spokane. That will be a
"pudding" sure enough.

PICKRELL WILL BE PICkLED.

Sundays Union brings out John w.
Pickrell of Whitman county as the
Ankeny- Grosscup- Stevenson candidate
for governor next year. 1t attempted
to bring him out a week before, but
spelled his name wrong and to avoid
any misunderstanding it tackled the
job a second time.
Pickrell should be nominated the An
keny- railroad organ says:
Mr. Pickrell is entitled to the sup
port of Whitman republicans from the
fact that last year he stified his ambi-
ton to go to congress for the benefit
of his people at home who were de-
handing certain legislation in the
state: legislation in which he was
then and is now in full sympathy. Mr..
PickreH was assured at the last state
convention-in fact the west side poll
ticians showed him'-that he could
receive the nomination for congress, if
in return he would induce his Whit
man delegation to vote against a rail-
way commission plank in the republic
can state platform. To these politi-
clans Mr.. Pickrell said: My people
desire a railway commission and their
interest is above any personal ambi-
ton which l may have. l will never
override the wishes Of my constituents
in order to further any personal am
bition which l may have to go to con-
gress. My delegation will vote for
a commission plank, in which l am in
hearty sympathy"
Now, wouldn't that paralyZe you?
Pickrell is favored by the railroads as
the peoples candidate for governor
because last year he said to Mr.. An
keny and the railroad lobby, Get thee
behind me, Satan" when they offered
to give him Wesley Jones' seat in
congress if he would deliver the vote
of Whitman county's delegation in the
republican state convention against
Gov McBrideS commission plank.
WITS ever such gratitude shown be-
fore? For the Ankeny organ and the
railroad lobby to support Pickrell now
spaniers licking the hand of the man
that kicks it.
But is it true that Pickrell is a 10y
al supporter of a railway commission.
Let us see. Last year the Whitman
county republicans adopted a resolu-
ton pledging their candidates for the
legislature not to vote for any candi-
date for the United States senate who
was not heartily in favor of Gov. Nc
Brides commission plank in the state
platform. That resolution referred to
Levi Ankeny, who had recently come
out in an interview at Spokane repu-
dating the commission plank. When
the legislature met in January of this
year, Pickrell went to Olympia and
used his influence with the Whitman
county members of the Legislature
elected on the strength of the anti-An-
keny resolution adopted by their coun-
ty convention to induce them to Vio-
late their pledges and vote for the
railroad candidate for the United
States senate. Wilson, Durham and
HALEY yielded to his persuasiOns.
When Pickrell returned to Colfax he
was asked if he did not think the vio-
lation of their instructions by these re-
publican members of the Legislature
would wreck the party at the next
election. Pickrell replied, "Oh, fudge.
