RUSH CLEARS AWAY
ALL CITRUS DOUBTS
TARIFF ON FRUITS IS IN NO
DANGER
Congressional Record Contains Ample
Proof That McLachIan Has Been
Big Zero While In
Washington

Jud r. Rush's final letter to Cali
fornia citrus growers is as follows:
my attention has been called to
the fact that certain assertions have
been made in the various fruit growing
districts of this county by the sup
porters Of and apologists for Mr.. Nc
Lachlan, my opponent, concerning my
attiture ON the tariff on citrus fruits.
Zone of the chief offenders in this
regard is the editor and publisher of
the Covina Argus, who is also by the
favor of McLachlan postmaster at
Covina, and whose utterances are un-
doubtedly inspired by McLc -hlan.
find in an editorial contained in his pa
per of date October "a, 1908, this as
sertion: 1nasmuch as he (Rush) is a
Democrat, and the Democratic party
stands pledged to remove the tariff
upon citrus fruits as we'll as other
American products, it would seem like
asking for aims for him to stand up
in citrus district and ask orange rails
ers to send him to Washington
Citrus Tariff Stands
"I have read the Democratic plat
form carefully, not only once hut many
times, and | have utterly failed to
find any such plank in that platform,
and [ am certain that the Democratic
party does not stand pledged to remove
the tariff upon citrus fruits. The record
will not disclose any more justit1ca-
tion for this inspired state ent than
for the assertion that Mr.. McLachlan's
record in congress had no weak spots
in 1t.
Further on in this same editorial
this inspired writer asserts that the
overwhelming fact which will smother
McLachlan's opponents is his record in
congress for the citrus industry. In
collaboration with other congressman
from this state he succeeded in putting
the tariff on citrus fruits. The present
tariff law relating to citrus fruits is
part of the Dingley tariff bill, which
was passed by a special session of con-
gress in 1897. Mr.. McLachlan did not
in collaboration with other congress-
men from this state succeed lin putting
thee tariff on citrus fruits for the very
good reason that Mr.. McLachlan was
not at that time a member of congress,
and could not and did not even vote
for that bill. So far as the tarin on
citrus fruits is concerned the DlnsIey
bill has not been amended since Its
adoption, and Mr.. McLachlan has never
even proposed an amendment to 1t.
McLachIan's Sins
-..Mr. McLachlan as member of
congress has never proposeu' requested
or voted for a tariff on citrus fruits,
either high or low, and during his Of
ficial career he has never mentioned
the citrus fruit industry or the tariff
on citrus fruits in the house of repre-
sentatiyes. or so far as 1 am able to
learn. before any committee. So we
And by consulting A. official record of
Mr. McLachlan's services as a con-
gressman that his efforts in behalf of
the citrus fruit industries have been
verv much like his efforts in other di-
rections-purely imaginary.
''In this regard the investigation 1
have made of the Congressional Record
discloses the fact that Mr.. McLachlan
has never during his eight consecutive
years as member of congress initiated

NECANCUM VOTERS M
WARM SESSION
SOME SPICY REMARKS IN THE
MINUTES SENT IN TO THE
COUNTY COURT,

During the session Of the county
court yesterday the minutes Of the
district road meeting at Necanieuni--
district No, l4-were read, and they
contained some spicy remarks in the
nature OF slams.
"John Vollmer moved" say the
minutes. shat whereas, the supervisor
81 our district has continually taken
money which was voted for one part
al the district, to pay for work done
in another part Of the district, and as
this is altogether wrong, and as we
resent il, therefore (Mr. Vollmerl
move: To levy no special tax-in or
der to teach the supervisors OF Clat-
sop county lesson, and to show the
honorable county court that the tax
payers resent the high-handed pro-
eeedings 81 the court to monkey with
the taxpayers decisions"
This was signed by Henry Hill,
supervisor, who is apparently the SUI
pervisor who was being slammed, and
BY Herman Ahlers, secretary. There
we're 20 voted for the censure and for
no levy, and six the other way,
Evidently the county court was in q
quandary whether to treat the mat
ter with levity, or as seriously as i
was originated, and the court ended
by treating il seriously An order was
spread on the minutes declaring that
the accusation was ''false,' and that
the court Is ''of the opinion that the
majority Of the voters were mislead
by false statements"
Meantime Necanieum district No,
IA win have no special levy for its
roads, and upon the theory that You
can catch more fies with sugar thar
with vinegar, it may not be amiss 70
guess that there won't be very much
of the general fund applied there this
coming year, and meantime the eoun-
ty record also stands in black and
white that the slams are false" which
is evidently meant as retort both
courteous and direct.
It was in the Necanienm district
that there has been sort Of sectional
warfare, in which it is alleged BY
some that one part Of the district L
lighting the other part-and that the
Firms have gotten the worst Of il.
The court approved the following

TAIN MANY INTEREST
ING FIGURES.

City Auditor Anderson yesterday
completed the compilation OF figures
Of the city's expenditures during the
year 1908, and they show some inter
esting facts The total amount ex-
pended in all ways, being the amount
Of all warrants drawn, was $l7l,1sS,-

OF this sum Of SSS6ls6S was spent
on street improvements, and should
not properly be elassed as an expen-
diture BY the city, as the payments
are 6rss or last made by property
holders,
This is a good sum to be spent on
the improvement Of streets in one
year. and il illustrates well the
amount Of this excellent work that
has been done within II months. The
rest Of the items show city expenses

cured in this way, including both

MINORS ARE NOW
PLANNING 4 BIG
CITY INVASION

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 4.-From re-
liable sources of information new was
received here yesterday that American
Association magnates are working TO
perfect their plans for the invasion of
Chicago next spring. Also that Pitts
burg and Cincinnati will be invaded in
case the major leagues carry out their
threat to wage relentless war on the
American Association.
According to present plans the st.
Paul franchise is slated for Chicago,
and in cast of war Minneapolis will be
transferred to Pittsburg and Kansas
City to Cincinnati. The idea is not to
compete with the major leagues, but
to play the same brand of ball as is
now played in the American Associa-
ton for twenty-five cents.
The Chicago proposition is already
practically assured. Havenor, of Mil
waukee. has the matter In hand, and
is in Chicago twice a week working out
the details. The whole proposition Is
up to the Eastern clubs. and If they
balk the Western clubs threaten to go
it alone. 1t is understood h a If the
blow there will be no tamperine
of players or an attempt to meet the
majors on equal footing.
