They have been telling this story
down in the Blue grass SO long that it
is regarded as classic.

turned the major, desisting from u long

RECOGNIZING THE ISSUE i;'

) Gossip. as to the; coming. tour'of the
west by President Taft indicates that
there will be no. disposition to pass mp
the tariff question on the ground that
enactment Of the. Payne-Aldrich bill
: has settled the issue for term of,years,
and that the chief concern of the country
is adapting its industries to the new
schedules.
1t has been pointed out repeatedly
that the insurgents must continue their
campaign against New Eenland's
domination if they are to continue rep
resenting their constituents, and, fur
Their, that some of the constituencies
whose congressman escaped the in
surrection idea will ask explanation of
the choice as to masters.
Congressman Tawney, chairman of
the appropriation committee, who lives
in Winona, Mimi, is facing acknowl-
edged danger of defeat because he sup
ported the tariff bill So President
Taft will stop at Winona, during which
it is on the cards for him to plead as
champion for Mr.. Tawney .a.,.
" If this program is carried out it
probably will inaugurate direct clash
with the Minnesota senators, who were
extremely inSurgent. 1t is hard to see
how Mr.. Taft can defend the Payne bill
without condemning in the hearing of.
their constituents the senators who
fought to the last ditch.
Furthermore, the attitude of these
constituents toward their legislative
representatives leaves the impression
that New England creeds are not very
popular in the middle west. and any
one registering from Beverly, Mass,
even though he be the president, will
he handicapped in: his missionary work
for the standpatters.
The president was credited with Civ
ing a remarkable exhibition of neu-
trality during the days when his
speeches were being quoted as reasons
for giving active support to the op-
ponents of the party machine But
from the time he signed the bill-with
an apology-it seems that he has felt
himself bound in alliance with the
standpatters.
1t is far from gratifying to lot
of those who were sincere admirers of
Mr.. Taft, but there need be no misap-
predecessor now as to the extent of re-
action from campaign promises. Butte

WHERE THE RAKE-Off GOES

The Arkansas Democrat is
rather insistentIy asking why
farmers but a short distance from
Little RocN are forced to sell
their potatoes at 40 cents BUSH
ell, while the consumer in the
capital city must pay 81 to 81, 25.
The reason is not hard to find.
The railroads and commission
men in Little Rock get the diff
ference. The cure for the wrong
is harder to attain. That will re-
quire a revolution in the whole
scheme of freight rates, and
methods of distributing products
that will not give such large
rake-off to the man who grows
rich by standing between the
producer and consumer.
Look at it in figures:
Paid by city laboling men and
consumers of potatoes 81 25
Man who ii led soil, planted
seed, gathered crop, delivered

Railroads and rake-off by nom
producers .S5
1t is this system that forces
the grower to sell them at 40
cents and the consumer to pay
$1.25 that makes the life of both
the producer and consumer hard.
This is a phase of life that very
properly should have been given
more attention by Roosevelt's
Commission an Country Life

WHERE EXPENSES ARE FIRST CUT
DOWN

Unlike private expenditure,
public allowances. once enjoyed,
can rarely be discontinued. The
trouble about the costly expert
ments which many eager place
hunters and a few disinterested
reformers would have is that in
order to make them more offices
and salaries must be created, and,
once created, they become a per-
manent demand upon the pockets
of the toilers and earners and
payers, even long after such ex-
periments are proven to be fail
ures. The tendency is to multi
ply rather than to reduce the
public offices. and the taxpayer
who fancies his burden is to be
lightened by promptly looping off
needless sinecures is poorly in
formed when it comes to the de-
sires of human nature and the
purposes of the regulation hui
man government. President
Taft is already finding this out
in his efforts to cut down the ex-
penses of government.
1T is generally understood.
and approved by most people
apparently. that President Taft
means to reduce the volume of
expenditures. One might think
at first blush that the only thin g
to do would be to reduce; in the
days after the war when a re-
sumption of specie payments was
being discussed Horace Greeley
used to say, the way to resume
is to resume But it was much
easier to say it than to do it,
says the Knoxville Journal and
Tribute. The contempOry adds:
And so with this matter of re-
ducing the expenditures of the
Government. Not every one who
talks for economy favors econo-
nv. 1t is a we'll known fact that
there are a good many men in

AN AVOWED CANDIDATE

Hon. R. L. Montgomery spent
several days in Prescott last
week in the interest of his candi-
dacy for Prosecuting attorney
for the Eighth Judicial District.
MIR. Montgomery has represent
ed this district as Senator for
the last four years, with credit
to himself and honor to his con-
stituents, his work in the last
Legislature being especially
commendable. He is a leading
attorney of this section, having
practiced law in Southwest Ark
ansas for the past twenty years,
and is especially fitted for the
responsibilities emcumbent upon
a prosecuting attorney. He is
we'll and favorably known over
the district, and will be a warm
competitor for the honors which
he seeks. La Fayette Recorder.

Great Opportunities
In Colorado Lands
PROSPECTIVE SETTLERS IN The
CENTENNIAL STATE ARE OF.
FERED EVERY ENCOUR.
AGEMENT.
Many Are Buying Homes

One Of the best examples Of un.
bounded faith in the future Of irri-
gated Colorado lands entertained by
men in positions to talk and act ad-
visedly was the action recently OF J.
G. Vining, for many years general su-
perintendent Of the Colorado Midland
railway, who laid down the cares ana
duties OF running railroad and en-
barked in the land business. II was
first attracted by the great opportuni-
ties" said Mr.. Vining in an interview
in Denver paper, but having made
a study Of conditions. the possiblu-
ties here actually astounded me. Hv-
cry time sell man tract OF Colo
RADIO irrigated land I feel have per.
formed an invaluable service for that
man and those dependent upon him.
One feature Of our new business In
Denver will be that we will deal only
in bona fide propositions, and II any.
one has q claim of misrepresentation
We will invite him to make thorough
investigation at our expense. An en-
pire was never successfully built up
on Misrepresentation.
Another thing we have arranged TO
do Is to sell limited number OF tracts
Of Colorado land to people in tho sal
aried class. We're going to do this be
cause we realize that the section
wherein our lands are located needs
more population. The salarted man.
as he pays up on his purchase. Is en-
abled to improve his holding whenever
II suits him. His progress may OF
necessity be a little slower than that
Of the man who can pay cash outright
but his ultimate success is none the
less sure. Yes, we still have some
splendid land in the great Grand val
ley fruit section. near Grand Junction.
Some of this land has been planted IN
fruit trees, which are now from one
to three years old We're going to
make Colorado veritable garden
spot. Letters that We receive from
people In other states are given atten.

who. in some cases, buy for specula.

we get busy and supply him with all

sist him in every way possible in get

by their constituents is the
amount of Government money
they have caused to be spent in
their districts. Individual mem
bers OF that sort may lie great
sticklers for economical eXpen7 Il
lures in other parts Of the coun-
try, but they never think Of
economy beginning at home.
And their cOnstitu hts look upon
1t IN the same way. If the Presi-
dent wants to reduce eXpendi-
lures, this class must be taken
into consideration. AS individu-
ais they may not be able to Sc
cure Unnecessary appropriations;
but there are many of them, and
they see that to succeed they
must stand together, and ther
pool their issues. They play tie
game of you tickle me and II
tickle you, and in that way
they are all tickled. The Presi-
dent may through his Cabinet
officers secure economical est
mates, for this and for that de-
partment; he may have the way
for spending less money for
naval vessels and fer fortifca-
tons; but when he comes to a
reduction of expenditures about
the country in individual Cor
gressional districts he will find
that to be a different matter. II
he gives the rooters after Govern
ment funds, ostensibly for the
public good, but really for the
purpose of winning votes, to
understand that he has not much
use for them they will take the
hint and their raids upon the
treasury will be less serious.
After all it is with the people.
If they will persist in electing
men to Congress whose chief
business is to get and spend
Government money, they will
have no right to complain at the
expenditure.
Of course this is quite true and
timely, and the power of trading
appropriations is one of the much
abused powers in the public life
of the times, in State :Legisla-
lures and City Councils as we'll
as in the Congress of the Nation.
A new public building is some
times the price of a seat in
Congress; and it should not be
50. Even useless expenditures
of large sums of public money
have been brought about delibera-
tely as the one means of securing
reelection. Let us hope Sthat it
may be otherwise as the purposes
and objects of public service
comes to be more clearly UNDER
stood.
But the waste which is con-
spicuous and which has so large
ly increased during recent years
is not of money devoted to legiti-
mate internal improvements, and
a fair examination of the books
by the Journal and tribune will
undoubtedly disclose this fact. il
is perfectly safe to charge that
the sums set apart for the im-
proVement of rivers and harb0rs,
for example. are not even half
as arge as they should have
been, considering the vast waste
that has occurred at other places.
Not only is this true. The enor-
nous sums practically. thrown
away have not been secured even
as results OF the ordinary trades
which members make with each
other in order to land appropria-
tons in their own districts. They
have been made In response to

pany, the deal involving several
thousand dollars and a railway
property of large value which was
until yesterday, owned by w. &.

The new company is composed

ed by w. +. Chiffon, and they will
eventually put the line through to
connect with the Ohio Valley
Electric Railway company's lines,
which cover the entire Tri-State
country. The line Is already con-
structed to st. Albans which means
that to reach the local line, the
building of about 40 miles of rail-
way will be necessary.
When the road is built through
to the city it will penetrate rich
and thickly settled section Of the
country. All along the route are
towns aud villages from which the
company will derive heavy and
highly profitable patronage. Not
only will such line be a good
thing for the owners but for the

COLD BATH FOR
CHRISTMAS
Will Be Taken By These
Men and Women of
Oregon.

Portland, Ore, Dec. ls.-Port-
land will hold an outdoor swimming
party Christmas day, several dozen
men and women having announced
their intention of swimming across
the Willamette river then. The
feat is to be an unusual advertise
ment of the winter climate OF the
Pacific Northwestern.
The water will not be cold, it is
promised, for the stream is fed by
rains of the winter months, and
these showers arc SO warm as
rule that grass grows green through
out the Willamette valley practic-
ally all winter. Tie prevailing
winds during the winter are from
the warm Japanese current off the
Pacific coast. lee rarely forms on
the Willamette and the current at
Portland Is not swift enough TO
offer an impediment to swimmers.
The swim is being arranged by
the Mul,ncmoh club, local ath-
letic organization, and Prof. Cavil,
swimming instructor, is organizing
the volunteers who will essay the
trip on Christmas morning. There
are already many entries and
large number will enter the water
for the quarter mile swim. Vari-
Gus trophies have been hung up for
s the event and not only Will the first
man and the first woman TO emerge
on the. far side of the stream be
