Washburn VS.. Draper.

The contributions Of General Wash
burn and Mr.. Draper to the Outlook
on the subject Of tariff reform are both
from a republican standpoint and illus
frate as we'll as any thing we have seen
lately the difference between eastern
and western republicans on this subject.
Mr.. Draper takes the stand that the
tariff must not be touched because once
before it was touched and thereafter
the country had financial shock. Sen
ator Washburn takes the more hope
full view that the tariff can and ought
to be revised by a republican congress
without causing any business disturb
ance worth noticing.
Mr.. Draper maintains that conditions
have not so changed since the passage
0" the Dingley law as to demand or adj
nit of any change in the tariff schedules
He ignores rather significant change
in conditions to which General Wash.
burn calls attention, viz, that we are
now selling many articles of our manu-
facture abroad cheaper than we are sell
ing them at home, which at once knocks
out the argument that the tariff in such
cases is required to maintain either, the
home market or the rate of wages
But it does something else besides, anc
that something is that it enables the
American manufacturer to take hit
large profits from the home market, ane
prevent production by sending hit
surplus abroad at lower price. The
tariff is being used not to protect ant
preserve The home market, but to ex
plot the foreign market. This woulc
not be so bad, but for the fact that the
tariff insists on keeping the schedules
SO high that foreign peoples cannot sci
us anything. They evidently believe
that America can by means Of tariff
device hog all the commerce Of all the
world. This cannot be done. The snake
swallowed itself only in a fable.
On the merits of the whole question
the representative Of western repub
licanism makes by far the better show.
ing, since the eastern man relies en-.
tirely upon the fears Of the manufac-
turer that tariff revision would mean
industrial disaster. This is the same
bugaboo the railroad men raise; when
d it is proposed to regulate rates, they
cry that it will entail reduction Of
wages. It ought to be shown first that
rates cannot be reduced without dis.
aster to the roads, and then they would
be called upon to tell us why, if the
government cannot reduce them, they
are able to SO often reduce them them

Enforcement the Main Thing.

The state is not so much in need Of
new laws to protect its school fund, as
it needs enforcement Of the laws we
now have. New laws may do no harm,
but unless the policy Of law enforce
ment is rigidly followed, they are a
waste Of ink and paper.
This observation is called forth by
the facts in the Hubbard county case,
where the attorney general is suing to
vacate q patent on half section Of
state school land, which is covered
with excellent pine timber, and yet was
sold for s. an acre as agricultural
land.'
T.. The law provides that before every
sale there must be an estimate by three
appraisers, who must certify as to the
character and value of the land. The
auditor is to give these appraisers in
structions. One Of the appraisers who
valued the state land in Hubbard coun-
ty in 1902 tells The Journal that
they were not given time to see all the
land, but divided the county up. The
half section in litigation was not seen
by two Of them. The third appraiser
may or may not have seen it, as they
were advised by the auditor to accept
the statements of others as to tracts
which were isolated or difficult of &C
cess.
Either this piece of land was viewed
by only one man, who could not see
a.. pine forest, or else he followed the
auditor IS advice and took the word of
some one else, equally blind. The Ger.
tifcate signed by the three appraisers
was a mockery.
No wonder the states school fund
has been dissipated. The state has
learned a costly lesson, and no doubt in
future the remaining timber and min
eral interests belonging to state funds
will be carefully guarded. The reform
will extend all the way down the line
and it will no longer be possible tt
give away tracts of pine timber sight
unseen.' It can do no harm to make
the law palmer, and to require absolute
~ personal inspection Of every trac1
by three appraisers, but the main thing
Is that the law be enforced.

The Tribune's nervousness on the sub
ject of a. home rule charter leads it into
many peculiar positions, for instance, this
one, that home rule charter is merely q
device for increasing the chances for
reckless taxation. This looks very nice
in the face Of the fact that the people Of
Minneapolis, without home rule charter
and without a charter that can be legally
amended at all, have been bonded more
vigorously in the past six years than they
could have been with home rule ebay

WILL PUSH OPERATIONS
Straw Board Manufacturing Company
Have Headquarters in Minneapolis.

Peter Prins, president of the Ameri-
can Straw Board Manufacturing com
pany, Incorporated last week, says that
the concern hopes to be in operation
within a few months. The headquar-
tiers will be in Minneapolis but the
factory will be in one Of the rural towns
near the base Of supplies. Mr.. Prins
has been engaged in straw board manu-
featuring for many years in Europe,
where the industry is conducted on a
larger scale than in America. The
boards are cheaper than lumber and are
preferred to lumber for many purposes.
Anything, from boxes to furniture and
houses, can be made from the material,
which can be nodded into any form. ,

suggestion is that the city should take

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK

To the Editor Of The journal.

To the Editor Of The Journal. s:
1t is surprising to see the gross ignor-
ance displayed by owners of buildings,
householders, fiat owners, janitors and
tenants in regard to ventilation. Many
fiat owners object to more than fifteen
minutes a day. All these ought; to
know that fresh air can be warmed with
one-half the heat required to keep dead
air heated. Fresh air is lighter, more
opaque, carries much more electricity
than dried cooked and baked foul air
Every room in house should be venti-
lated ten minutes each hour. - p,
