THE AUTO A ROAD PROBLEM.

Road experts everywhere seem TO De
giving much attention to the qeustion
of minimizing the damage Of highways
bv autocars, and in some instances
rather drastic legislation is urged on
the subject.
Experiments made by the federal
government have clearly demonstrated
the fact that roads frequently deterl-
crate rapidly under the influence OF
autocars of the heavier and speedler
tvnes: but how best to- remedy the evil
is vet an unsolved problem.
Two plans nave been suggested; one
seeks to limit the speed of autos, and
the other would prevent the use OF
chains. put on the wheels of autos 10
keen them from slipping, except When
the surface of highways is covered
with snow or ice. NOnslipping attach
ments on the wheels of autos are con-
cededlv of considerable value, but they
are at the same time extremely hurt-
fu1 to highways. Much of the damage
To roads and streets is due to the
chains and other devices used on auto
wheels.
The auto as a road problem is or IN
terest to the people of washington on
account of the comprehensive ROAD
building plans now afOot in this state
and if NAV be that legislators, wnen
they take up the road question:, d.
OLYMPIA. will undertake to guard nlgn-
WAYS against unnecessary and avoid
able damage from this source.

ADJUSTMENTS
1.-THE Land of Nod"


There was an extraordinary advance
sale of seats for 1.-THE Land of Nod
at the Keylor Grand theater yesterday
morning. When the box office opened
many people were waiting in line and
these were steadily added to UP to
o'clock It was one of the largest first
days sales Of this season, and it clear
ly indicates that the big extravagan-
"a production will be witnessed by as
many people as can be crowded into
the theater tomorrow night. Few
shows come along bearing such a
record of success as is enjoyed by THE
Land, of Nod" From all accounts it is
greeted by crowds everywhere, which
is attributable to its rapidly spreading
fame. The public, generally, is quick
to discover which of the shows is de-
serving long before their appearance,
and the result is that the meritorious
offerings are almost invariably greeted
by immense audiences. This has been
proven upon every occasion in this
city.
1t is a pleasure to note the interest
which is manifest in "The Land of
Nod since there is no doubt that it
will prove to be one of the bright spots
in the history of the present season in
this city.

are to directly profit by it's completion,
and no attention at all elsewhere.
Aside from the states to be trayersed

which keeps close watch of railroad
movements of all kinds, the fact that
the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paui 10
about to become a transcontlnental syS-
tenn is scarcely known, nor is the sis
nificance of its great work appreciated
in the slightest degree.
Right in Seattle the event, so sig
nificant Of the great position whlcn
Seattle is now occupying and the stlii
greater one which it is destined TO oc-
cupy, excites little more read interest
than would the news of the establish
ment there of a new industrial plant.

FARM WEALTH.

The basis Of all our national pros
perity lies in the farms of the coun-
try. This is the conclusion which is
reached by economic students and it
is emphasized remarkably by the an
nual report of Secretary Wilson of the
department of agriculture. The secre'-
tary places the value of farm products
in the United States in 1908 at SITS
100000.
In several ways, says the st. Louis
GlObU-Democrat, there is likely to be
continued increase in American agri-
cultural results. Lands have advanced
because their money making power is
higher. Production grows per acre, by
improved methods of culture an
improved methods of culture and the
better selection of seeds and crops to
be grown. Irrigation is likely to be- a
large item of Improvement. New crops
are introduced, as illustrated by alfal-
IA and the sugar beet This years rice,
crop in the United States is $4,000, 600
bushels, worth $1S,000,000, a gain of
over 20 per cent in quality and value
The sugar beet crop is larger and more
valuable than ever before, and sugar
Is an article for which an immense
amount of money is now sent out OF
the country. The United States III
1908 has produced 100000 beet su-
gar and s34.000,00O cane sugar. Ameri-
can diaries for the year are credited
with $S00.000,000 and eggs and poultry
arc worth as much as the cotton cron

PROTECTION AND REVENUE.

The Seattle Post Intellieencer-a
sap,nIe standpat organ-admits, IN
view of Mr.. Carnegie's testimony, that
perhaps the steel industry may nave
become strong enough to stand alone
"A liberal admission, considering that
according to its own showing the steer
trusts net profits last year were Sloo'-
DOC. 00O-but the Seattle paper ASKS
But what about the hundreds OF DUO
ding American industries that are Ill
danger of having the American mar
ket vrested from them by foreign COM
netitors? What about the establish
ments that have not become strong
enough in a. financial way to reduce
the cost of manufacture to mini
mum? Some, of these establishments
have not vet reached the point when
they can defend their own market
against alien competition
What are these industries, in which
Americans cannot compete with Tor
eigners but must have Involuntary
contributions from the people, asks
the Oregon Journal 1t might not be
easy to specify one. The P.-I. would
probably mention lumber first that
needs protection against the "pauper
labor. of Canada. But Mr.. ]. ]. Hill
SAYS that labor is as high N Canada
as in this country. And there is no
protective tariff on labor; it can com"
freely across the line. A small reve-
nue. tariff is sufficient for any Ameri-
can industry that can be mentioned.
But the, P.-I. says that there must
be sufficient duties to insure Ameri-
can manufacturers the home market,
that we must import nothing that we
can produce. Then what becomes OF
our foreign commerce? Are other peo-
pies going to buy of us more than they
are absolutely Obliged to buy unless
they can also sell something to us?
Even so staunch a protectionist as the
late President Mckinley, in his last
speech. declared that the period of
exclusiveness was past;" that we must
buy abroad if we would sell abroad.
And what becomes of our revenue
to run the government under the eX-
elusive policy? This year there is
heavy deficit, and it will grow larger
year by year if We are to keep out all
impOrtatiOnS but tea, coffee. sugar and
spices. Under this system direct taxa
ton will have to be reSOrted to, so
that the people will be plundered both
"gOin' and comm y; first they will be
indirectly taxed on all they consume
in order to obtain revenue, which high
duties cut off. This is precisely the
logical outcome of the policy of pro-
lection. At the present stage of this
country's existence, there is not a
single sound reason or excuse for pro-
lection of established industries. eX-
coDt as it incidentally results from a
strictly revenue tariff.

GOSSIP OF THE RING.

NEW YORK, Oec 2O.-The fight
fans of the Blue Grass region must

frame-up that has been fixed for
Thursday evening at Lexington, KY.
Marvin Hart and Mike Schreck, those
old heavyweight war horses, will fur

Hart and Schreck once fought in
the concert hall of Madison Square
garden, and pulled off about the big
gest farce ever seen in the metropolis
Neither man displayed as much science
or cleverneSs as would be, expected of
a brawling Washerwoman. Hart and
Schreck are about the biggest jokes in
the pugilistic world. 1t is likely that
Bill Squires, the Australian wonder"

he allowed his automobile to run over

from his affinity were read in court,
