WOOL INDUSTRY THREATENED

-
Alarmed al President Taft's recent
Winona speech, friends Of our wool
industry, all over the country, are pre-
pairing to resist any attempt that may
be made by the next congress to re-
duce the tariff on this staple.
In q recent address made before the
American Institute of Banking at
Philadelphia, Theodore Justice, of the
wool commission firm of Justice, Bate
man & Co., made an exhaustive review
of the effect of low tariffs on the great
wool industry, and as a prelude to his
address made the following interesting
statement:
"You perhaps are not interested in
the fact that there are only ST. 900, 900
sheep in the world. If all were eaten
there would be only three-eights of a
sheep for each person. You also may
not care to know that this number Of
sheep produce 2,600,000,O 900 pounds If
wool, which, if evenly distributed, the
allotment would be only l 10 pounds
for each person in the world.
"You, however, will probably take
more interest in the subject when you
ar etold that the annual per capita con-
sumption of the people of the United
States for several years has been con-
siderably over six pounds, the greatest
percapita wool consumption of any ma
ton in the world.
SIN order that this may be so, there
must be countless multitudes who are
not SO fortunate as we, as they either
get very little or none at all. Fortunate
ly owing to climatic conditions, many
of them do not need it."
The speaker then gave a synopsis of
the effect of the different tariffs on the
wool and sheep industry for the past
AZ years as follows:
Law 1867, last four years, 25 per
cent increase, with duty of 121ac per
pound. At the rate of increase in the
last four years of the law of 1867, with
a duty of 12h cents a pound, if con-
tinued at the same rate, we would, by
1895, have produced our entire wool
supply.
Law 1883, about six years, Is per
cent decrease, with a duty of Zoe per
pound. Under the 10-cent-a-pound duty
of the law of 1883, if continued at the
same rate of decrease, by 1850 we
would have produced all the wool we
now use.
Law 1890, less than four years, 10
per cent increase, with a duty of IL
cents per pound. If the Mckinley act,
with II cents per pound duty, had
never been disturbed, at the rate of in
crease under that act we would have
produced all the wool we now use.
Law 1894, less than four years, 81
per cent decrease, free of duty. If the
free wool act had never been repealed,
at the rate Of decline under that act, by
1850 the United States would have
been without wool.
Law 1897, more than IL years, 46 per
cent increase, duty Of IL cents per
pound.
The protectionists argue that the
matter for American citizens to decide
is whether they will increase or de-
crease the mutton and wool supply;
that if it follows with less wool it viii
be dearer, especially a the whole
world is on the re~trograde, the gain
in the Southern Hemisphere being less
than the decrease in wool production in
the Northern Hemisphere.

The Southern Pacific has announced a
reduction of IS cents per ton in the
coal tariff, to become effective on De-
eember 20. So far as Nevada consum-
ers are concerned, it makes little diff
ference what the tariff is, as at present
no coal is to be obtained at any price.

the house committees on agriculture
and agricultural college, has some very
important legislation which he pro-
poses TO vigorously advocate. His
most important measure is one pro-
viding for an analysis Of the soil of
the state. Although some other states
provide a special appropriation for this
work, il is Mr.. Schantz's plan to avoid
this and have the expense of conduct
ing the analysis paid out OF the APP
preparation provided for the mainte-
nance of the agricultural college. This
appropriation has been materially in
creased during the past few years,
largely through the activities of Mr.
Schantz, and he thinks a portion OF
the additional fund, or about $4,000
per year, can be advantageously divert
ed to the uses mentioned.
Fol- some time the state has made
modest annual appropriations in aid of
the annual fairs of the State and West
Michigan agricultural societies Schantz
would have the state contribute toward
the payment of premiums awarded at
county fairs. 1t is pointed out that in
some states 40 per cent of the total
premium. awards of county fair asso-
Citations is paid by the state Another
bill proposed in the interest of the
agriculturalist is one providing that
they be compensated for cattle killed
by order of state authorities because
infected with tuberculosis or other dis
ease.
Township Unit System.
The township unit system of rural
school government, which has for years
been opposed by the grange and other
farmers organizations, will be one Of
the principal measures to receive the
enthusiastic support Of the superin-
tendent of public instruction this year.
Superintendent Wright has been max.
ing a thorough study Of the situation
and has arrived at the conclusion
that the township unit system will in
every way advance the interests and
efficiency of the rural schools. He con-
tends that the state has grown away
from the district system which was
inaugurated in the early days and
points out that so greatly have the
number of districts been increased
that there are in the state several dis
tricts with only one or two children
of school age on their census lists,
while there are many districts in which
not to exceed half dozen children of
school age reside. In one district in
Oakland county there is not one child
OF school age. In one township six
miles square, in Hillsdale county. there
are eleven school districts and ten
one-room school houses.
Would Improve Rural Schools.
1t is further pointed out that in
one-seyenth Of the districts of the
state the census list includes not to
exceed fifteen children. 1t is argued

To Amend Primary Law.

lSldUuTe anu III is not DIT oil Certain
that their opposition to the bill can
be overcome.
To Amend Primary Law.
Senator Dickinson, who as a member
of the lower house for several sessions
has been the special champion of pri-
mary reform, is completing a compre-
hensive measure amending the primary
election law In various particulars. II
is expected that this bill will be ready
for introduction within a few days. In
his last message Governor Warner ad-
vocated the extension Of the primary
system to other offices than those COW
cred by the existing statute, but he did
not designate which Offices he would
add to the list. 1t is understood that
the Dickinson bill will include all legis-
lative candidates and candidates for
United States senator, leaving the con-
vention to nominate all candidates for
state offices other than governor and
lieutenant governor. There will, how
ever, be quite q number Of legislators
who will stand for a state wide pri-
mary law which will do away with
state conventions entirely 30 far a.
tho nomination Of candidates is con-
cerned. There will be some little strife
over the inclusion Of United States sem
ator. Governor Warner favors such
extension Of the law, however.
Railroads Have Grievances.
There have been indications during
the past few days that the railroads
will ask for some amendments TO the
railroad laws. 1t is known that they
believe that the Michigan railroad COM
mission has too great power in view
of the fact that there is no appeal from
It's decision in certain cases in which
1t is also the complaining witness and
prosecutor. They desire in all such
cases that the action of the commission
be renewable.
The Republican state convention
which will meet in Grand Rapids next
month promises to be of unusual in
terest. Owing to changes made by the
new constitution 1t will be necessary
next April to elect superintendent Of
public instruction and six members Of
the state board OF agriculture In add
ton to two associate Justices OF the
supreme court and two regents Of the
university.
