Indications Point to Saving Of
Thousands Of Dollars for
Farmers.
WALLA WALI4A OPEN" BAGS
AT $500 PER HUNDRED
Belief Is General That Price of Sacks
This Year Will Be Less Than for
Number of Years-Will Probably
Go Less Than Seven Cents-Re-
ported That Effort Is Being Made
by Bag Trust to Put Penitentiary
Jute Mill Out of Business.

From present indications the price
of grain bags this season will be low
er than for a number of years, though
some changes may take place before
harvest. Last year the average price
paid by the growers was seven cents,
though many of them secured their
sacks as low as ga. This year it il
not expected that the highest price
will be above seven cents, while the
average will probably be around 6h
cents, thus providing a saving for the
farmers of the inland empire, amount
ing to thousands Of dollars.
While local sack dealers have re-
ceived absolutely no information as
to what the price is to be this year
they are all of the opinion that 1t
will be even less than last season.
One reason for this belief is the fact
that owing to last years SHORT crop
many bags were held over.
The low price put on the grain bags
produced at the jute mill of the Walla
Walla penitentiary will also have a
tendency to. keep down the price in
this part of the country. In speak
ing of the price of penitentiary bags;
the Walla Walla Bulletin says:
WaIIa Walla Bags.
The state board of control set the
price for grain bags at the peniten-
tiary Immediately following the sign
ing of the new law by Acting Cover
nor Hay giving them the authority
to do so at this time, fixing the price
at $500 per hundred. This is the
lowest price at which penitentiary
bags have been sold for many years
and means a saving of thousands of
dollars to the farmers of eastern
Washington and Oregon. While the
"pen" bags can only be sold within
the state, the price at which they are
sold has an effect on the market i'll
both Oregon and Idaho.
1t would appear that there is an
effort on the part of the bag trust t.
put the penitentiary jute mill out of
business in order to better control the
market, by the low prices quoted the
farmers for the coming season, being
from 4 to 5 cents lower than prices
quoted last year.
Under the new law the product of
the jute mill not taken under the
county apportionment by the first of
April can be sold in the open market.
Inasmuch as the output this season,
with the supply left over from last
year, will aggregate nearly 100000
bags. the farmers in the immediate
section of the penitentiary who have
not yet contracted for their grain
much lower price than the lowest
quotation yet made.

STOP IEE TRAFFIC.

What Will the legislature do to
put a stop to the tremendous ex-
press traffic of liquor in this
State. II there is anyway by leg
islation to prevent the express
companies from nonopolizing
the sale OF whiskey in this State
it ought by all means to be pu;
into operation. The express com.
panies are doing a vast amount
of business at every place they
have an Office established, and it
amounts to but very little less
than the com panies being the
soliciting agents fo1. the whiskey
houses: through them the coun-
try is being flooded with liquor
and it is getting worse and worse
as the holidays draw near.
We are not a believer in pro.
hibition, regarding it OF less
benefit than a fair enforcement
of we'll regulated liquor law
would be. but we have prohibi-
ton by a vote of the people, and
now that we have it we want to
see its operation unhampered,
and it cannot DE as long as trafhc
companies which obtain chart
er to do business in this State
are permitted to throw obstacles
IN the way of successful execu-
ton of a law made by the votes
of the people themselves. We
say stop the express companies
and the railroads from bringing
the stuff here or provide scme
sane and decent way to keep the
money at home which is now go
ing to other States from those
who drink and sell liquor. If we
are to have prohibition: let US
have it in fact, but for heavens
sake the kind weare now having.
made so by the public carriers,
be at all satisfactory to |
the most ardent prohibitionlst.
We are getting the whiskey and
it's bad effect. Virginia and

and the public carriers are reap i

The report of the winding ur

cation Swearingen will recon

county boards and have the
grading done by the State Board.
If this is done there viii be q
revolution in our public schools,
as it Will thin out 10 a stand Of
competency the teachers through
out the State. At first it will
make teachers scarce, but it will
ultimately arouse the patrons of
the schools to the need Of pro-
viding decent pay for teachers,
and encouraging young men and
women to prepare themselves
for the work. One Of the great
drawbacks to our school system,
is incompetent teachers, and the
cause Of this can be directly at
tributed to the pittance paid.

We quite agree with the Co
lumbia Record that there is
such a thing as going too far.
The purpose of the State to holc
back county funds due the whis
key houses, because it is claimed
that these concerns when doing
business with the old State dis
pensary. did not act straight, is
about as correct a principal as
would be tc render a judgment
against the con because the
father failed to pay, or punish
the son with Imprisonment be-
cause the father committed a
crime.
The county dispensaries sold
liquors and the profits therefrom
went into the county treasures,

these profits and the only rea-

tuition Of 1895 required it, the pur
chase was only nominally made

fore the State has no moral right
to one cent Of this money, nor
has it any moral right to hold
up one cent Of the money due
the whlskey houses oy the coun-
ties. The whole scheme looks
to US as if certain lawyers are
using the State to feather their
own nests-a graft game worse
than the game played by those
who held trusted positions and
robbed the State.
