Germany's Tariff Act
Big Triumph for Root
Getting Minimum Rates on Our Goods With
out Lessening American Duties Makes
Him Diplomatic Star of First Rank.

The action Of the German reichstag
yesterday in passing legislation defer

1907, the assessment of the maximum
schedules of the new imperial tariff
against American goods. thus ayerting
a tariff war with the United States, is
the clims to a protracted interchange
OF correspondence between Secretary
Root and Ambassador Sternberg. in
which Secretary Root has achieved his
first great feat Of pure diplomacy.
The success of the State Department
in obtaining for another sixteen months
equal consideration in the German trade
with other governments that have made
great concessions to obtain the mini
mum tariff in Germany. without any
amelioratiOn of our schedules against
German goods entering this country.
ranks as one of the notable works of
stateCraft in several decades of the
recent history of the local foreign office.
Had Secretary Root not already given
ample promise of being a diplomat of
the first class, he would now be hailed
as the new stellar light in international
politics.
All Done in Month.
only a month ago, the German gov
ernment was still apparently inexorable
in it's position that the maximum rates
would be enforced on March J.
In the light of the refchstag's action.
at the earnest solicitation of Chancei-
lor Won Buelow, one might be led to
think a. colossal bluff had been attempt
ad, and pushed TO the last moment by
Germany But this, it is understood
here, is not the case. The seed of edu-
cation IS to the result of a tariff war,
which Mr., Root had been sowing, did
not sprout until within the last few
weeks. Then its growth was rapid.
Realizing that Mr.. Root was thorough
ly familiar with all the premises and
sound iE his understanding of what the
results would be of any course pursued
by Germany, and that he could not be
shaken from his position of polite regret
that no concession was possible at this
end of the wire, the German statesmen
quickly went to their reichstag, and,
unhampered BY a 'stand-pat' old guard.

Must Pay Postage on Packages.


Rural carriers are. hy order Of the
Postal Department, prohibited from
carrying over their routes any express
matter, for hire or n a favor, that may
toe classified ~ mailatle matter, Of
four pounds weight ar under. Now ii
il would rDr!;;t the cXFrtss compan-
i,s t. use yn,,rrmcnt stamps on all
packages they c.!ry, the same a. on
lctt,rs over postal routes, it would toe
another step in tie right direction,
and swell the postal receipts by large
legitimate revenue, and that too from
a source that has VIGOROUSLY been ac-
corded special privileges by railroads
for It's lobby aid in keeping the cost Of
the mail service higher many times
than it should be, in consideration OF a
monopoly Of this parcel service.
The only objection that has been
urged against the parcel post system
has been that it might interfere with
local trade in the smaller cities, but
this objection is more imaginary than
real. 1t would doubtless lead to a re-
adjustment of business methods, but it
would guard the consumer from pay
ment OF extortionate profits, and open
wider field for supply of many COM
forts and necessities OF life. The rural
delivery service, in combination with
rapidly extending country telephone
service, would place nearly every body
within a radius Of score or more OF
miles in as close relation to the trade
OF small business centers as the people
who live in the towns, and there is no
reason why the smaller stores, with
lower rents and less costs OF oper.
alton, might not successfully compete
with city department stores in prices,
besides guaranteeing quality and much
more speedy delivery.
II there can be seen no menace to
local trade by the building OF suburban
railways that shorten the distance be
tween the big stores and the custom.
cr, as some OF our people strenuously
maintain, surely there can be no seri-
Gus apprehension OF loss from service
that will minimize the cost of living
and equalize an average on such ne.
cessities as enter into ordinary per
sonal or family expenses. Ii business
men would use postage stamps in
stead of Grading stamps in estab
lishment OF a postal delivery of mer
chandise on parcels up to four pounds
in weight to their country purchasers
there is no doubt but that very large
neighborhood" trade could be estab
lished thereby.

Republican campaign fund, has the
Presidents "simoleon" as the only
announced response go far, notwith-
standing his claim was that every one
of the 100000 people who voted for
Roosevelt would Immediately reach
down in bis pocket for this evidence
OF good faith. The fact is that no
subscriptions we're expected or needed
from the plebeian ranks. The intent
was to adopt the idea as q mask to
the further bleeding OF insurance CON-
panies, and other corporations, for
corruption funds. In due time doubt
less the boast will be made that
the seven millions have been raised,
but it will be by counting the trust
donations as units of one dollar sub
scriptions-another instance OF Isl

Are There Breakers AheadP


In 1889, the Russian government
sent a secret agent to the Argentine
Republic, South America, who learn
ing that the Barring Brothers, of Lon
don, had made large investments in
the bonds of that republic, which
paper had become greatly deprecated
in value. Thereupon Rus, ia with
drew its millions of specie from the
vaults of the Bank OF England, which
precipitated a panic that affected
every civilized country when it came
to an exhibit of assets.
Now it seems that Russian securi-
ties are constantly weakening in the
money markets of Europe. France
and Germany are largo investors in
such paper. Strenuous efforts are
constantly made to prevent panics on
the money exchange of Berlin and
Paris, in consequence of the unsatis.
factory condition OF Russian finances.
Now if the government of the Car
shall collapse these securities will be-
come comparatively worthless. Then
the financiers of the old world will un.
load american paper on the money
market in order to secure gold from
this country with which to adjust
balances. While such a condition OF
affairs might not cause another panic
in this country, it will tend to make
capitalists conservative in the matter
of reaching out with their investments.
Forewarned is forearmed."
Lawyers Disagree Who Shall DecideP
There is some talk on the streets
about the County Assessor and the
Commissioners affixing values on a
common basis in given localities, with.
out regard to the intrinsic value OF the
property assessed. 1t is true, as claimed
by these oDjectors, the Constitution
says property shall be taxed according
to its true value in money. Now come
certain parties who offer to sell their
holdings for less than the assessed val
uation. The Commissioners answer
by telling the complaining parties their
property is valued no higher for the
purposes of taxation than other prop
erty in the same neighborhood if
deduction shall be made as to one par
eel, then general horizontal reduc-
ton must be made regarding all prop
erty similarly situated.
There seems to DO legal sanction to
support the conclusions Of the Com
missioners in former decision of the
Supreme Court OF this State. Some OF
the directors ought to give the court
chance to correct its ruling, or reaf1irm
its former decision in this respect.
The question presents ITSELF Are
the Assessor and Board to be blamed
for following the Interpretation of laws
put thereon by the courts? Certainly
not.

BUSCoED By A WINDMILL SHARP
A farmer on Snake river. the other
day, handed smooth-tongued travel
ing man, named Buchanan $500, for
installing u wind mill on the farm.
" Buck" went on spree and spent the
money and was hauled up for embez-
element. His plea was that the money
was his own after payment, and that
the offense was at most nothing more
than q breach of contract. The State
attempted to show that the money was
entrusted to him for purchase of mill
and pump, and was the property of
the farmer till expended. 1t is quite
evident that some of our backwoods
people do not read the newspapers or
they would steer clear OF lightning rod
and windmill sbsrps.
