lNATTENTIoN TO TARIFF TALK.

Perhaps the most remarkable fea-
t,re of the tariff discussion in the
house of representatives, is the mat
tention of members during the whole
course of debate. On April 8, while
CONGRESSMAN Sparkman, of Florida,
was laboring earnestly and soulfully
in the delivery of speech favoring the
retention of the Dingley duty on lum-
Der and the imposition of a duty of 5
cents pound on all raw cotton i'm
ported into this country, but eleven list
less listeners were in evidence on the
floor of the house. On a day previous
to that. when Mr. Gaines, of West Viz
gfnia. a republican member of the COM
mittee that framed the pending tarln
bill. was engaged in explaining the in
tricacies of the various schedules. less
than a score of congressman were his
auditors. and it is said that from these
he received but scant attention. These
incidents serve to illustrate notable
condition as to the present tariff dis
cussion.

COM MUNICATED.


COLLEGE. PLACE, Wash, April 10
TO the Editor: Will you kindly
publish the following to Thomas Ben
nett?
Having noticed the open letters of
yours and Rev. billie" Evans and see
you are somewhat over Jealous, and
have had a hard shot of truth relative
to the divinity of Christ, and being
myself firm believer in helping those
who are in trouble, I now wish to
tell you that you do not have to go
out of your own state to find men who
will defend the quest on of the divinity
of Christ; but, Brother Bennett, | was
taught lesson years ago while in old
Missouri with Sam Jones.
The lesson was this: That when
house cleaning week came around our
landlady was never bothered by mice
for the splitting of old Tom at his
image in the mirror always ran the
mice to the barn. Therefore it is al
ways good to keep the mirror of Gods
truth low so that the cats of higher
criticism and advanced theology can
see themselves and spit at the image
they make and run the prowling mice
to the trash and shavings of deception.
Again l learned that When the cleo
trio lights of the gospel of Jesus Christ
that pierce through every cloud of
spiritual darkness and make souls free
from doctrines and creeds of men, are
turned on, and by chance a country
dog comes under the rays Of those
bright and shining lihts, there is al
ways a kind hand to keep him from
deaths door until he learns his shadow
is not to be looked back upon.
And now 1 wish to say that while it
is a fact that the moon travels on and
makes no stops for the bark of dogs.
it is also just as true that the same
barks keep the coyote from intruding
upon the sheep corral
l now ask you what you will accept
for standard of proof as you do not
accept the Bible as the inspired word
of God; and if you can find anything
wherein l can stand for sound doctrine
will come in and shake with you until
you are willing to robe yourself with
vestures made white in the blood of
Christ. 1t is the counterfeit that says
be careful how you handle me. The
genuine says rub me. The more you
rub the brighter l get. was the
devil that said let us alone But they
believe in Christ and hope I will never
come to that stage to believe less than
the devil. (Math. 1929, Mark 1:245:7,
Luke L:24).

PRESERVING SCENIC BEAUTY.

The protection and preservation of
scenic beauty is a subject that year
ly becomes more pressing in a larger
number of regions. There is constant
war over Niagara Falls between the
utiiitarians and those men who would
preserve the falls and gorge that their
awe impelling beauty may be enjoyed
by pOsterity.
\ late bulletin of the American
Civic association recites that Niagara
has been saved again for. all the peo-
pie Congress has again exercised its
rights in controlling the water of the
falls and recognized the expressed
desire of the American people that the
great scenic wonder be guarded from
the diversion Of its waters for purely
commercial activities The bulletin
then reCOuntS the action of congress
in extending for two years the terms
of the Burton $bill, which limits the
amount of water that may be diverted
from the river above the falls by the
great electric power plants. The bull
letin concludes.
If the American Civic association
had never achieved anything more
than its grand work for the falls of
Niagara, it would more than have
justified its existence and maintenance.
But it is doing more. Niagara is but
an incident. 1t is making daily for a
better and more beautiful America by
inspiring in all parts of the United
States and Canada positive work r
the physical development of cities,
towns and villages"
The Hudson highlands is another
battle-ground between utilitarians and
scenists. There is a bill pending In
the New York Legislature providing
for the establishment of a state park
in the highlands of the Hudson as a
memorial to Henry Hudson and Rob-
ert Fulton. The leading New York pa
perS urge the passage of this bill.
And in the west. where the scenic
grandeur of the mountains. rivers and
forests far outdistances anything of
the east. little is being done. If this
American Civic association is ma
tional society. and worthy of its name
let it at once organize effectually in
the west and prevent the vandalism OF
man. the unnecessary work of despoil-
ing the beauty with which this coun-
try was endowed. 1t is time some
thing is being done. before the tidf
is too full it may be possible to turr

discussions of generation ago, or even
that which preceded the final enact
ment of the Wilson bill, or the Dinghy
measure which we now seek to revise!
Wherein lies the cause? Is there ac-
cepted belief that SO far as congress
sional opinion. expressed in the mouse
of representatives, is concerned, the
last word on the tariff has been said!
Is there general and abiding convlc-
ton that the bill which the committee
on ways and means presents will be-
come the law in such shape as the
dominant spirits in that committee
shall choose to frame it, and that all
that is said, either in support or as pro-
test will avail no more than the blow
ing of the wind?
There is. at least the invitation for
such conjecture. Again, there is an
other view not at all improbable. Each
congressman, busy with the tariff de-
mands of his own constituency, I'M
proving his opportunities as best he
may in the production of campaign lit
erature for home consumption, puts the
efforts of his fellows in the same cate
CORY. and is willing, without further
to let the discussion go
at that Then, too. there is the posi-
BILE fate of the bill when it reaches the
senate; the deliberate upsetting OF all
that committee work has produced IN
the house and the utter disregard or
much that oratory would produce. How
far these surrounding contingencies
prompt inattention is curious, II not
conclusive to think about.

NORTH COAST LINE
is WORKING WEST
Contract for Grading Kiona Grand
View, Twelve Miles,
Is Let.

PROSSER, April 10-Within two
weeks construction work will be start
ed by the North Coast Railroad COM
pany on it's connecting link Of rade
lumbia river below Kennewick, to the
Yakima river, above Granger Wnere
the railroad crosses into the Yakima
Indian reservation. Such is the an
nouncement made by Contractor Peter
Eschbach, of the firm of Case & Esch-
bach. and Contractor Dingle, who have
received the contract for the IL miles
of grading. The link is from Kiona to
Grand View.
Contractor Escnbach, while in Pros
SER said that he had orders from
President Robert E. Strahorn to rush
this piece of grading and to complete
it during the spring months.
The coming of the North Coast rail-
road. with the new connections for
freight shipments, is eagerly awaited
by ranchers throughout the valley.
President Strahorn has announced
that as soon as the line is completed
to North Yakima a connection will be
ready across the Columbia river to the
o. r. & N. tracks. and that shipments
can be made to the East on that rail-
road.
President Strahorn and a party of
officials of the company have made a
complete inspection of the right-of-
way between Kennewick and Grand
View along the line near Prosser, and
report that there is extensive grading
to be done, and some heavy cuts and
fills The railroad will not follow any
low land, but will keep on the side
hills for the entire distance, and after
leaving the vicinity of Prosser crosses
above the Sunnyside canal and to I'M
irrigated land before entering Grand
View The fact that there is such
heavy grading means the employment
of hundreds of men and these crews
will have their base of supplies in
Prosser.

COURAGE AT WASHINGTON.

With commendable courage the lower
house tore the duty on crude petroleum
and its products from the Payne tariff
bill Wednesday. The result was effect
ed by a coalition of the republican in
surgents with the democrats. 1t was
done over the protest of Speaker Can
non, who disclosed his hand in a fervid
appeal to the republicans not to take
the step. The danger is that Aldrich
and his Standard Oil henchmen may be
able to restore the duty in the senate.
If not, the spell with which Standard
Oil holds congress as tightly bound as
an eternal winter binds the Arctic con-
tinent will be broken, and one of the
most significant moves in the country's
legislative annals be achieved. 1t is a
contamination devOutly to be wished.
By means of it's duty on petroleum
importations, Standard Oil has been
able to rob American housewives of
not less than $10,000,000 a year. A
cunning artifice of phraSeOlOgy in the
tariff laws has been a means by which
this duty has been SO long retained
says the Oregon Journal. Many con-
gressmen have pointed to certain sec
ton in the law and claimed to their
constituents that crude oil and it's pro-
ducts are admitted free of duty. There
is, however, a cunning clause in the
law that pours a stream of gold into
the lap of Standard. This clause i'm
poses a countervailing or contingent
duty on petroleum to be applied only
in case oil shall be imported into the
United States from countries that i'm
pose a duty upon American oils. In
such a case the duty here is to be equal
to the duty eXacted abroad. This looks
fair and harmless, and seems to be con-
ceived in spirit Of free market, but
it is In fact a costly provision for the
American people and a stupendOus
source of revenue to Standard. It's
effect is to shut out Russian compe-
tition in the oil business.
Russia is the greatest oil produc
ing country in the world. It's out
put exceeds that of the United States
by many millions of barrels a year
It is because of Russian competition
in the London market that English
housewives buy coal oil at SIS to S.5
cents per gallon. With Russian COM
petition shut out of the United States
we pay 8 to II cents per gallon in New
York and a great deal more in Oregon.
BY the process the oil monopoly has
been able to pile up a stupendous profit
of $3.50, 600 in eight years, a profit
of so to so per cent a year on its sup
posed capitalization. The letters of a
Standard magnate to my Dear For
aker" requesting him to find en-
closed my certificate of deposit for
$4,000" and to kill the bill in the
senate" are pertinent at this hour, and
are significant of the courage of the
house Wednesday in removing the duty
in spite of Speaker Cannon.

SAYS P|ETR|CH IS
A BLACK CRIMINAL
Deputy Sheriff Guibor of King Coun-
ty Says Governor Hay Made
Great Mistake.

Branding Mich Pietrich, who is now
serving life sentence in the penitenti-
airy here, as one of the blacklist Grim =
inals ever apprehended in the state,
Deputy F. A. Guibor of King county
who was in North Yakima yesterday
says that Governor Hay has made a
great mistake in saving the Servian
from the gallows.
Mr.. Guibor has taken a great deal
of interest in the Pietrich case as he
was by the side of Harry Miller, mar
shall of Kent, when he was shot down
by the foreigner.
Ut will be remembered that Pietrich,
Bogawitch and Alligawitch, three Ser
vians. held up farmer named OBrl2n
near Kent some months back and that
they were met soon afterwards by Of
ficers Miller and Guibor soon after
they had committed the first offence.
Miller and Guibor attempted to put
the five men under arrest but the
Servians were we'll armed and made
desperate fight for liberty.
Officer Miller was killed and the
desperadoes made their escape to the
woods. Later a posse was organized
reward offered for the capture OF
Peitrich and a man hunt begun. The
three Servians named above were
caught. Bogawitch and Alligawitch
were given prison sentences and Peit
rich was sentenced to hang. Through
the work of friends, the latter has
succeeded in having his sentence
changed to life Imprisonment.
When Governor Hay committed the
death sentence imposed upon Mich
Pietrich for the murder of Marshal
Miller. he made one of the creates
mistakes possible for him to make, .
said Deputy Gubor.
Il stood not over three feet from
Miller when the Servian filled his body
full of lead. Miller had already been
shot in the pistol arm and seriously
wounded. He dropped to his knees and
begged Pietrich not to shoot. But the
william fired and one of the best eff
GERS that ever served, fell dead.
Can they tell me that was ignor-
ance of the law? Was the Servian so
ignorant of American ways and GUS
toms that he was justified in shooting
lone farmer and then shooting the
officer who attempted to arrest him.
IA clever newspaper writer stirred
up sympathy for the condemned man
and this together with the untiring
efforts of his attorneys. resulted in his
being freed from the galows. If ever
a man deserved hanging, that man
Peitrich is one. He confessed to hav
ing killed six men in the old country,
and he told Mat Starwich, another
deputy sheriff of King county, that he
had, been laying for him for many
months and that he was very disap-
pointed because he had been locked
up before he had an opportunity to
take a crack at him.

In another family, where there is
