Letter 7
Especial Washington letter.

Especial Washington letter.
III T is settled. What is settled? That
there is to be no revision of the
tariff rates during the life of the
Fifty-ninth congress. Who settled
it? Hon. Serene e. Payne, chairman
of the committee on ways and means
and ex officio floor leader of the Repub-
lican majority in the house of repre-
sentatives. How did he settle it? By
a carefully prepared letter to Hon.
Samuel w. Mccall, Republican, who
represents the Harvard district of
Massachusetts. When did the Hon.
Serene q. cut that stupendous caper?
March "a. 1906. Is his letter to be talk
en- as authoritative? OF course it is.
In this matter he was undoubtedly
speaking, after consultation, for the
majority of the house. These queries,
answers and dates are worthy of being
remembered, as the fight to control the
house of representatives will hinge
largely upon them.
In urging upon Chairman Payne
the Importance Of tariff revision at this
session in order to carry out Repub-
lican pledges in the national platform
Of 1904 and in the Massachusetts plat
form of 1905 Mr.. Mccall truly says,
what everybody knows, that revision
cannot be accomplished at the short
session next winter for lack of time.
That, taken in connection with these
sentences from Mr.. Paynes reply,
shuts the door of hope in the face Of
the revisionists. Mr.. Payne closes as
follows: II cannot, therefore, agree
with your delegation that it would be
best at the present session Of congress
| to enter upon a consideration Of the
tariff with view to it's revision and
readjustment While this is my in
dividual opinion I have reason to be-
lieve that it is also the judgment Of a
decided majority of the committee on
ways and MEANS" So there you are.
Mr.. Mccall, speaking for the Massa-
chusetts delegation, urges revision at
this session because it cannot be ac-
complished at the short session, and
Mr.. Payne, speaking for himself and a
majority Of the committee on ways

| tempted at this long session. Brother
Payne was too modest by half or three
fourths in stating his case. He ought
to have boldly waded in and declared
that he spoke for the house machine.
| Of course after that correspondence
nobody will be fool enough to believe
that there will be any revision by this
congress. Consequently 1t transfers
| the fight to the impending campaign
for control Of the next house. 1t gives
more power to Governor Cummins in
his fight on the prairies Of Iowa.
Query: Will there be revision by the
Si1tieth congress? Not if the Repub-
licans control the house. for Secretary
Shaw has announced that the only time
on which a revision can be yentured on
Is at an extraordinary session just
| after q new administration begins,
which means the spring Of 1909 at the
earliest, but the secretary does not
promise it even then. He simply sug-
Gests that as the safest time.

The Cedar Rapids Republican, a

The Cedar Rapids Republican, a
rock ribbed party organ, says; that,
nOne. of the thing that have not been
emphasized in this pre-convention
campaign in Iowa is the fact that the
state levy has been increased from 2.8
mills to 35 mills and the assessed
valuation of property at the same
time been incre ased by over 100000
600. But taxes also are among those
things which seldom grow less. 1t is
costing twice as much to run the state
government as it did few years ago."
And it might truthfully have added,
that the only remedy for the evil is to
retire the party in power.
If, as the Republican says, and we
believe It's statement to beCabsoIutely
true, that, sit is costing twice as
much to run the state government as
1t did few years ago." what may
the Taxpayers expect in the way of
lakes, IL the republican party contin-
nes in power in this state few years
more? That stakes are among those
things which seldom grow less" the
people of this county will readily be-
lieve, and their belief will be founded
upon actual experience, both in the
matter ofstate and county taxes

The Hawkey. Battle ROYAL.


The Importance attaching to Repub-
lican happenings In Iowa may be as
sumed from the fact that Secretary of
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw has felt
1t to be his duty to himself, his party
and his country to turn the affairs Of
his great department over to his sub
ordinates in order to hasten to Iowa
and take the stump on behalf Of the
stand patters in opposition to Governor
Albert B. Cummins, who is candidate
for third term in the gubernatorial
chair and who, from the stand pat
viewpoint, is busily engaged in preach
ing rank heresy on the tariff question.
I am not in the confidence Of Secretary
Shaw and could not, therefore, make
my affidavit as to why he shook the
SHOWS Of Washington of his shoes and
FASTENED to his own bailiwick during
the spring equinoctial storms; but, put
ting two and two together to make
four, can give guess satisfactory to
myself at least. Three facts are known
~ Secretary Shaw is candidate for
the presidential nomination; (2) he Is
the prince Of stand patters; (3) he can
not hope to capture the presidential
nomination unless he has the Hawkeye
delegation solidly and enthusiastically
at his back. True in 1892 Grover Cleve-
land was nominated without the New
York delegation-in fact in spite of it
but everybody worth considering
knows that it was the resentment en-
gendered in the minds Of western and
southern Democrats by David B. Hill's
snap convention Feb. 20, 1892, which
gave Grover the plum. Secretary Shaw
is too wise man to take the Cleve-
land nomination as a precedent. He
knows that the Iowa delegation is in all
human probability sine qua non to
his own nomination. My conclusion
from these facts is that the secretary's
friends in Iowa have conveyed to him
the information that Governor Cum
minis was making converts to his
heresy and that unless Secretary Shaw
got busy Cummins would not only be
renominated for governor, but would
bag the Iowa delegation to the next
Republican national convention for
himself. That would be the end Of Sec
rotary shaw's presidential hopes and
would be the most killing blow that
could fall upon him except death it.
self. So he speedily hied him to Iowa.

Lambs and EIeeces.

In their last circular letter to an
eager and eXpectant world Messrs.
Henry Clews & Co., bankers, of Wall
street, make the sad remark, THE
stock market has been in a state of
comparative lethargy," which probably
means that sundry lambs, considcrin.
the raw weather, prefer to keep their
feeces on their own backs rather than
yield them to the Wall street shearers.
Some high financier once said that
there is a new crop of Wall street
lambs born every year, which was Il
recaSting of the cynical saying of
Phineas T. Barnum that the people like
to be humbugged and the more recent
remark that Il new sucker is born ev-
cry minute. This year the crop of Wall
street lambs is short; hence these tears.

Senator Benjamin r. Tillman of

holding his own with the constitutional
lawyers. AS to common sense he has
no superior in the senate, and while his
rhetoric is not always up to the stand
ard of Edward Everett he has no diff
f1culty whatever in making his meaning
understood. He takes no stock what
ever in Talleyrand's dictum that Ian
guage was made to conceal ideas.
Quite the contrary, as many Of the con-
script fathers can testify to their sor-
row.
No greater outrage was ever perpe-
trated OH intelligent people than the
action of the Republicans in the house
of representatives in keeping Oklaho-
ma out of the Union because they can

in the Indian Territory is disgrace
to American civilization and should be
remedied at once. It's poor business
to play politics with the rights, hopes
and welfare of 100000 American citi-
zens.

becomes mere annex OF the ma

all this expense goes right on while

has spent most of his time in this
city since the beginning of construc-
tion work on thsaSalem and Port
land line. was herd up and robbed
Saturday night in Portland. The
Portland Journal tells the story az
follows:
Hands upl Don't make any fuss
and you won't get hurt. All want
is your money-and diamonds, II
you have any. Turn your face to

Mrs. Donald was there. too. But
she did not scream.
"Do exactly as he tells YOU" she
said to her husband.
Donald is a civil engineer engaged
iu the construction OF the electric
railroad between Portland and Sa-
lem. He resides with his wife at
466 Tenth street, and the couple
were strolllng in the direction OF the
Montgomery street car line at S:45
O'Clock when the man with the shin
ing revolver stepped from the shad-
ows.
Mr.. Donald did as he was COM
manded by the robber-and by his
wife. Holding his hands above his
head he faced the hedge. while Mrs.
Donald stood nearby.
The highwayman, a small man
without any mask save the powder
sprlnkled on his face by barber
who had evidently served him less
than an hour before, placed the muz-
zle OF his weapon against the back
of his victim and went through his
pockets from behind. Five dollars
and half were taken from n trous-
ers pocket and gols watch and

enings and found their way into the

man abstracted a pocketbook from
