Increase in Grain Storage Rates.

WarehOISemen generally throughout
the Inland Empire have followed the
lead of W&'la Walla in raising grain
storage rates in spite of the vigorous,
and in most cases, violent protests of
the farmers says the West coast
Trade. The price heretofore has been
80 cents per ton for storage and handl-
ing to il nuary / and 10 cents per ton
per month after that date. The new
charges are 75 cents per ton to Janu-
airy l ana 10 cents per ton thereafter
The warebousemen claim that the
advance is reas onabIe and necessary
on account Gf higher costs of labor
and lumber higher taxes and increased
costs of handling generally The diff
Guilty in getting cars and the conse-
Quent necessity of -saoking is also
an item. They say there is absolutely
no profit in the business now on the
so cents a ton basis
The advance has led to a revival of
the charges that there is combine or
rust among the grain buyers Of
the northwest. This may be true or it
may not be true; at any rate it has
nothing to do with the justice or in
justice of the increase in storage rates
If so cents has been a reasonable
charge in past years. IS cents is equal
ly fair and reasonable under present
conditions. He that gets more must
expect to pay more. Prosperity is not
one-sided. 1t is very likely that if the
former charge had been 25 cents and
it was now proposed to raise this to
40 cents the protests would be just as
vigorous. 1t is just human nature
and some phases of human nature are
particularly strong in the average
American farmer.
The advanced charges will probably
be general all over the wheat growing
sections of the Pacific Northwest.

GEORGIA LID WILL COME OFF
SOCIALIST LECTURER SAYS
BARRING OF LIQUOR WILL
CAUSE TROUBLE.

]. B. Osborne, a blind lecturer on
socialism, who one year ago polleo
100 votes in the state of Georgia as
socialist candidate for governor
against Hoke Smith. democratic NOM
inee, discussed the passing of the mint
julep in Georgia. Mr.. Osborne is OF
the impression that the law will be
hard to enforce.
Georgia has a negro population. OF
], 100000 he said. Added to that
there is a large population of crack
ers'-poor whites. Now these negroes
are drinking class, and have no great
respect for the law unless it is en-
forced by the shotgun. 1t will practi-
cally be impossible to prevent the sale
Of liquor to this ignorant, powerful
class of persons. One million popu-
lation which has had no hand in max
ing the law will be a bigger task to
control than the executive force OF
the state can handle. If an attempt is
made to keep liquor from the negroes,
raid must follow raid, and if you know
the south you must know that many
of these will not be peacable Close
the saloons even in country as
ameIable TO law anr order as are GER
tain portions of the west, and blind
pigs will spring up in every corner.
You can conceive how it would be in
Georgia.
Again, the poor whites will resent
the law just as they have resented
attempts by the United States officers
of revenue to close illicit stills. 1t is a
matter of heredity with them Their
fathers made the liquor that they de-
sired to drink just as their mothers
made the cloth from the wool they
have grown.
There never was a tax in the old
days, and, childlike and ignorant as
they are, they cannot adjust them
selves to new conditions. l look for
trouble as a result of the prohibition

SOME STATE POLITICS.
Jones Too Optimistic.
(Wallula Gateway

Through the medium of the Nab
ton Chronicle, on it's patent side print
ed at North Yakima, Wesley L. Jones
says in an interview that the press of
the state is practically unanimous in
supporting his candidacy for the
United States senate. Wesley has ev-
identity read but few papers pub
Our exchange list of about 40 state pa
pers, with but few exceptions favor
Senator Ankeny for a second term, and
look upon Jones aspirations as mere
ly a local affair centering around
North Yakima. The net result of his
run will be an advertisement for the
Yakima valley and the taking of
good man out of congress-.
The Bellingham American Re-
veille, the most influential paper in
the northwest section of the state, thus
sizes up the situation:
The fact that the Seattle Times
and P.-I. and the Spokesman Review
are all in line for Jones lacks a great
deal of settliag the fight. There are
several hundred weekly newspa pers in
this state still to be heard from, and
any one of them has more influence
in its own field than papers published
rat distance. AS a matter of fact
the city newspaper has no influence
with the rural population. There is
nothing stronger than the power of
the press but it is a mistake to think
that this power emanates from one or
two big papers. 1t is the little fell

RAIL VS.. WATER RATES.

The value of any article of COM

In an address delivered at Minneap-
oils in October 1906. the Hon. j. E.
Ransdell. member of congress from
Louisiana said:
"Pittsburg sends lot of coal out
to this country. 1t is shipped from
Pittsburg to Conneaut and Ashtabula,
on Lake Erie. 1t is shipped 1876 miles
by rail at 90 cents per ton, that being
the standard rate. When it reaches
the steamers they charge 35 cents per
ton TO carry it to Chicago, Milwaukee
or Duluth. The railroad rate is 90
cents per ton for 1875 miles and the
water rate 80 cents per ton for 1000
miles. The railroad rate is exactly
1000 per cent higher.
