secure a non-partisan business COM
mission which will help to remove
the tariff problem from party poll
tics.
Being a citizen OF Louisiana"

opinion the whole south Is rapidly

in our own mills. we have both the
money and the rails" Now. surely
the latter condition is much better
than the former and it seems right
and proper to assist in procuring and
maintaining it by wise tariff enact
menus whenever possible.
Reform Needed.
Mr.. Ransdell declared that great
abuses have crept into the tariff and
that many changes in the tariff law
are necessary. at is most unfortu-
nate" he declared. that this great
question which concerns so vitally the
welfare OF our nation should ever
have been a partisan one and for
policies and schedules should have
been adopted In many eases for po-
litical effect rather than for economic
reasons"
Mr.. Ransdell discussed the tarlff
from a revenue point of view and de-
clared that all political parties have
favored tariff in some form.

nounced the present tariff and the
metho, OF its construction. That the
present tariff system has been out
grown and that the United States
fingers decades behind the scientific
methods OF European countries was
repeated almost as often as a new
speaker addressed the delegates. That
the prompt establishment of a non
partisan tariff committee was the
only remedy for present conditions
was repeated a. often.
On the nature of the commission;
whether II should be a permanent
bureau and an adjunct TO the depart
ment of commerce and labor; an ap-
polntlve commission. one composed
of experts only, or a body of business
men empowered to engage experts,
the speakers differed as apparently
as did the delegates. but of the urgent
need for IL there seems no dispute.

president OF the National Association

OPEN LETTER To
CITY COUNCIL
HOSE co. FOREMAN REPLIES
TO THEIR RECENT ACTION
Tells the Public of Some of the Diff
cultles of the Fire Fighters-Re-
plies to the Council for Holding Up
of the Bill of Hose Co. No. Z.

Pendleton, Ore, July 16, 1909.
In replying to an article published
in the East Oregonian last evening,
in regard to the action OF the city
council in holding up hose company
bill is misleading and a gross insult
to the firemen of West Pendleton or
Hose Co. No. 7, who have the dis
puted bill. We thought the bill had
been gone over and settled by pre-
vious meeting, when 1t was O., KID
by the chief and the fire committee.
This matter being taken up at time
when none of the fire laddies were
present to defend their case was an
injustice to the company. The fires
were three, instead of just hen coop
and an $500 residence.
First we will endeavor to explain
by giving to the public some of the
circumstances surrounding the diff
culties which the fire laddies encoun-
tered in these three fires and let you
judge whether or not the bill is a
questionable one.
We will admit we have an enviable
record for fast work, that being dem
onstrated in the last fireman's con-
test, when we carried off first prize.
But the honorable council must not
expect them to maintain their same
high standard of excellence under all
circumstances and conditions. The

ing about two pounds to the foot) to
do the rest
In order to reach these three fires
II was necessary to run to the farth-
est plug, which is six blocks from the
hose house, 1860 feet, or nearly one
third of mile, run off 1000 feet OF
hose, and find we had just barely
enough hose to reach the fire, under
the high pressure (by the way, we
have the highest pressure in the
city,. We found that we had burst

singularly happened in all three Of
these cases)- We were simply handi-
capped except to save favored adjoin-
ing property and watch the property

grand jury, defends the young man
from the charge that he was in any
way involved in a criminal operation
upon the young woman he is said to
have wronged. Hilton states that he
and Bannister came to Oregon from
California three months ago and he
is positive Bannister is innocent of
much that has been charged against
him. Bannister is 20 years of age
and according to local relatives he is
enjoyed very good reputation in the
past.
