Taxed to Build Up Trusts.

Western consumers are being taxed
heavily by the railroads to pay arti-
fetal prices for steel rails. The
makers of these rails are embarrassed
by the prodigious size of their private
fortunes. They are not all as wise
and generous as Carnegie in trying to
give back to the Ieople portion of
their wealth.
1t is the same with oil and other
staples. The Infant industries" of the
past are the law-delying, powerful, ar
rogant trusts of the present Con
sumers are being taxed to build up Il
financial oligarchy that defies the gov
ernment of the United States
Carnegie at least is honest enough
to take his seat on the stool of repent,
ance and tell the truth.

we should receive any testimony Of

PAYNE HAS NEAT SCHEME.
Declaration That Has Let Tariff Cat
Out of the Bag.

Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committee is credited with a
nice, new plan to prevent tariff frauds,
by which, he explains, he proposes to
save the country millions filched from
us every year by foreign exporters
who undervalue their goods in our Gus
tom houses
There is a fine margin between
wholesale prices and manufacturing
costs. Mr.. Paynes establishment of
the wholesale, instead Of the manufac-
turing, cost as a basis for ad valorem
duties would simply add the whole
saler's profit over manufacturing cost
to the amount of tariff levied.
Under such a law it would be quite
possible to reduce the average tariff
from AZ per cent. as at present, to,
say So per cent, on the printed sched
ule and yet really raise the absolute
tariff to so per cent. or 60 per cent
Furthermore, the American manufac
turer would have it in his own power
to fix the tariff to suit him.
Mr.. Paynes careless declaration OF
intention has let the tariff cat out OF
the bag rather unfortunately for him
for congress dare not raise the tariff
and that is exactly what Mr.. Payne
proposes to do.

TO DELUDE VOTERS
REPUBLICANS PLAN EVASION OF
PARTY PLEDGES.
Surrender to Tariff "standpatters" is
to Be Blamed on the Senate
People viii See Through
the Trick.

OF course 1t is necessary to find some
thick-skinned scapegoat that will take
all the blame if the Republican party
should, after all, squirm and evade its
ante.election tariff reform pledges.
Just now the public mind is being
prepared for an intimation that, if
consumers burdens are not lightened
In the new tariff bill, the wicked SEN
ate will be responsible. Even
though President.elcct Taft and the
house ways and means committee
should jointly battle for the relief OF
consumers we are told to expect GER
tain emasculation Of genuine tariff
reform bill by the upper house.
That might mean presidential
veto, and an appeal to the people. And
again it might not. Politically, it
would merely mean that the Repub-
licans were making an attempt to
keep faith with the people, and that
the senate must take all RESPONSE
bility for failure TO do so.
A dog that chases his tail in never
ending circle seems to be very much
in earnest. The results are not com
mensurate with the dogs apparent
sincerity of purpose. The tariff stand
patters would like to pacify popular
sentiment without accomplishing any
thing in the way of real tariff reform.
1t all resolves itself into whether
the Republicans, as national party,
means to back up their ante-election
tariff reform pledges with real legis-
lation in the interest of consumers, or
whether these pledges We're for po-
litical effect only. The senate may be
dominated by trust agents, but that
is not necessarily a final obstruction.
There are methods of bringing even a
rebcllious senate TO terms, if the ad-
ministration desires to heed the peo-
pies voice.
We will soon see how much of the
Republican programme is based on
the known wishes of the great body
Of consumers. The robber trusts do
not seem especially perturbed. They
will not object to a game of politics
in the house, if their standpat friends
in the senate consent to act the role
of scapegoat.
Meanwhile, state after state in the
producing west is declaring for popu-
lar election of United States senator's,
which may have a SOLDERING effect on
the standpat program.

A SIioht misunderstanding,

Little Helen Bentley of Los Angeles
aged five, dearly loves her grandma,
who has been living with her and har
parents. Recently grandma went to
Seattle for a visit, and caught cold
on the way. When she arrived theret
she had reached Seattle, but had had
a hard fight with the grip. Helenf
wanted to hear what grandma had tel
say, and the letter was read to her.
Soon aftcrward she saw one of her
neighbors. and exclaimed: "Oh, Mrs.
Smith. We've had letter from grand
ma. She got to Seattle all right, but
she had terrible fight with her va

ans curiosity is to mans curiosity as

the ratio. The behavior of the sexes
when telophoning has convinced me
of my former injustice. Very often a
man accompanied by woman stops
here to telephone, or maybe it is the
woman who wishes to talk over the
wire. If it is the man who talks, the
woman, apparently unconcerned as to
what he has to say, sits quietly at the
far end of the store and lets him talk
as long as he pleases; but if the WON.
an talks, the man hangs around the
booth, holding the door half open and
popping his head inside the booth
every few seconds. Now, | call that a
complete refutation of popular opinion.

you like. i don't know anything about

the phenomenon itself that interests
