THE PARADOX or THE TARIFF
,StTIA ION.

Hrury l.itchfeld West In the October Forum
The Republican party is already
pledged to conduct its next campaign
upon the promise that after the election
the tariff will be revised. The Demo-
cratic party does not question the sin
cerity OF this promise, but it does doubt
the thoroughneSs of the proposed re-
vision. On the very threshold of the
contest, however, we are confronted
with most singular paradox The only
way to prevent revision of the tariff
will be to elect Democratic president
and Democratic house of represent
atives. Democratic victory in 1908 will
not only fail to secure any revision, but
it will fasten the present schedules Sc
curely upon the country for the next
four years. This paradox is explained
by the fact that the senate is not only
Republican in its majority at the pres
ent time, but will continue beyond per-
adventure to be Republican until 1912.
Out of the ninety members of the SEN
ate, only thirty-two are Democrats, and
only political revolution of the most
remarkable nature will materially in
crease this number during the next
four years. This Republican senate will
stand as bulwark against any legis-
lation emanating from politically hos
tile house
This condition of affairs suggests an
other curious situation. If it be true,
as many believe. that the present high
tariff schedules are responsible for the
creation and maintenance of great mo-
nopolies, it will be easy enough for these
benefciares to continue in the enjoy
ment of their plumber by simply secur-
ing the election of a Democratic admin
istration. They would, in fact, accom-
plish two results much desired by them.
They would help to administer an an
parent rebuke to President Roosevelt.
whom they hate with bitter hatred.
and they will save themselves from
any possible harm. If a candidate
pledged to continuance of President
Roosevelt's policies should be nomi-
mated by the Republicans, the corpora
tons would undoubtedly endeavor to
encompass his defeat. They would have
to fear from a Democratic
president, who could only illuminate in
words against them.

ELECTIONS BY AGREEMENT.

Chicago Record Herald.
We commented lately on remarka-
bic anti-election bribery compact en-
tered into between the Republicans and
Democrats Of one of the most corrupt
counties of Maryland. 1t is interesting
to learn from the press of that state
that other counties have followed the
example and that the good work of
purifying the elections of Maryland is
going on.
One of the counties, Frederick. pro
poses Not only to do away with vote
buying but to provide against the use
of liquor on election day in the inter

the latter feature hangs a curious tale.

before election and locking them up
From the upstate counties of New
York similar anti corrupt practice
agreements by political managers are
being reported these days. In some
counties light rural vote is predicted
as the result Of the compacts for the
restriction OF expenditures in general
and the abandoning of vote-buying in
particular. Where the standard of
morality, or the fear of the code, has
eliminated direct, vulgar bribery of
voters, the practice of paying thrifty
citizens for time" has sprung up. 1t

dependent citizens, who vote as thew
please, are merely compensated for the

license and lawlessness, prohibited
years ago the sale of liquor on election
days, and required every saloon to close
it's doors. But the political machines
needed the liquor in their business and
nullified the law by the simple device
of serving whisky free in the vicinity
of the polls. This, too, was made lille
gal, but no attention has been paid to
the prohibition of free liquor by the
campaign managers. The committee
chairmen of Frederick County are
ready to stop the practice by hard-and-
fast agreement. Whisky is to be used
neither as a bride nor as method of
disabling voters of the opposite par
ty by making them full on the night

No State Tax.

The state board of assessment, con-
sisting of the governor, secretary of
state and state treasurer, met last week
to levy the state tax authorized by law.
1t was practically determined that there
will be no tax levied for general state
expenses, but that the only tax to be
levied will be that which the state col
lects from counties and distributes back
again as school aid. This tax has never
been wholly RENTED but year ago
half was omitted from the levy.

Live wire Knocks Two men Down
In Butcher shop.

| Glen Boyer and Jack Wherry o
the Liberty Meat Market exper
fenced electric shocks Monday even
ing in the back room of their place
of business that they will not soor
forget. 1t is fortunate that the re.
suits were not worse.
The trouble all came from the
wire of small incandescept light,
the covering having been worn off.
Mr.. Boyer was in the front part
of the shop waiting on a customer,
while Mr. Wherry was in the ad-
joining back room at work.
Mr.. Boyer heard a heavy thud on
the floor and rushed back to see
what was the matter. Seeing bis
partner lying PROSTATE on the floor
he rushed to his assistance and
was himself Knocked down by COM
ing in contact with the wire that
knocked Mr.. Wherry down.
Henry Botten, who was near,
helped both Of the men out into
the shop. Mr.. Boyer's face struck
a table and he was badly bruised,
but outside of this was not serious
ly hurt.
Mr. wherry did not fare so we'll.
He was carried to the sidewalk in
an unconscious condition and was
taken to the Heppner Sanitarium
where he was resuscitated.
Both men were able to work the
next day.
1t is needless to say that a new
heavily insulated wire adorns the
back room of the Liberty Meat
market.

CHIDSEY'S TERRI
TORY ENLARGED
Forest superintendent VIII Have
Additional Duties.

Superintendent Chidsey, of tn,
Heppner National Forest, will
Ranger Sylvanus Wright returned
Monday from a trip to Lone Rock
Spray, Monument and Hardman
where they had been taking ap
plications for grazing permits in
the Heppner National Forest fol
the year 1908.
Mr.. Chidsey secured about 1OC
applications for grazing permits
for sheep, cattle and horses. The
Superintendent reports that very
few complaints were registered by
the stockmen.
From the permits already re-
ceived the indications are that the
number of sheep to be grazed in
the reserve next year will be con-
siderably less than last year. The
number of cattle will also be less
while there will be more horses
than last year.
Mr.. Chldsey attributes the de-
crease to the fact that sheep and
catt'e men were heavy sellers dur
ing the past year, owing to the
high prices Of stock and the herds
have been reduced.
Mr. Chidsey who formerly had
charge only of the Heppner Ma
tional Forest, has been allotted a
much larger territory by getting a
good sized slice of the Blue Noun
tain reserve.
The new territory includes the
western addition to the eastern di-
vision OF the Blue Mountain Ma
.ional Forest, from Camp creek
lear Susanville to the forks of the
John Day.
The additional work has made it |
necessary for more office force in
he head Office in this city. Mr..
Chidsey will employ another clerk,
IN additional typewriter having al
eady arrived.

NOT NECESSARY
TO FEED STOCK
The Season Has Been Ideal for
Both SlOCkmen and Farmers.

Taking it all around the fall
season so far as weather is con.
cerned has been about all that
could be desired.
Crops were all saved in lgood
shape and since the finish of har-
vest the weather has been ideal
for hauling the grain to.market.
While it Is too dry to plow, still
with the unusual amount of har-
vest work the farmers have been
so busy that they have not had
time to do much plow1Dg.
With the stockmen, a little more
moisture would have helped the
ranges, but the fact that it has not
been necessary to do any feeding
up to this late in the season is en-
couragiDg.

Livestock & Land Company in
speaking of conditions, said to the
Gazette:
"This certainly has been a fa-
vorable season. We had been

far and for the time of year l
