be delightful. Here where spring
follows quickly after the fall roses
cease to bloom and where robin red

banks OF Rogue river, which affords
us the best fishing in the world, be-
sides boating with gasoline launches,
row boats and canoes, and bathing
during the long and delightful sum-
mer months. II our citizens we're
given the opportunity they would be
pleased to extend every courtesy to
these good people and make them
realize that they were indeed in the
land OF promise, which for climate,
soil and products has no superior

our good friends whose visit is all too
short that they will find welcome
to Grants Pass as often as they may
come this way In the future.

TAFTs FIRST YEAR.

President Taft on the fourth OF
this month completed his first year
In the White House and II can be
said that he has been the busiest
man In the nation as we'll as having
had more to do during his first year
than any other president in the same
length OF time In the past. He has
at times had his troubles with con-
gress the same MS Roosevelt had, but
was not as fortunate MS the latter in
securing legislation. Mr.. Taft has
certainly been shabblly treated by the
national legislators; that is, members
OF his own party who have so far
failed to redeem party promises in
the last campaign. True, there has
been no absolute refusal but long
drawn out procrastlnation, which has
evidently worried the president.
The Ballinger-Pinchot investiga-
tion has been another source OF an
noyanco to the administration. but
through II all Mr.. Taft has shown
himself courageous for the right and
has given the country clean admin
istration. Perhaps there Is more
ground for fault finding in regard
TO tariff legislation than in anything
else, but as this Is matter of opinion
Ms we'll as party, he has not been
greatly injured by his course in sup
porting this kind OF legislation. The
president has during the past year
visited nearly all parts OF tho United |
States and he was received every
where in q manner that proved the
confidence OF the masses In his In
tegrity.

SHERMAN'S PRIZE GRAPE
DISTRIBUTION

II Will be seen by an article on the
first page OF this issue that W. B..
Sherman will soon make his second
annual prize distribution OF Tokay
grape vines to the school children Of
Grants Pass and the principal schools
OF the county. This work which Mr.
Sherman has entered upon so auspi-
ciously and has carried forward so
patrlotically must result in benefit
to the rising generation and to our
city and county. These lessons in
grape vine planting and cultivation
must result in attracting n consider
able percentage OF our young people
and finally be the cause OF their be-
coming practical grape growers. Mr..
Sherman has done much toward the
development OF the famous Tokay
grape In this section and making
Grants Pass known as the Tokay city.
The citizen who does these things is
TO the best wishes OF the
people OF his city and county.

ogy is neither relevant nor true. 1t
is not necessary that expense should
increase in the same ratio as growth
But the growth of expenditure has
so far outrun the growth of the coun-
try that the actual figures are al
most incredible.
The phenomenal increase Of pub
lie expenditures has already produced
plentiful crop of public ills. 1t Is
one of the causes for the increase in
prices now disturbing the people
This increase follows in suggestive
way the initiation of national and To-
cal budgets. The average cost Of the
supplies that must be bought for
practically every household has in
creased about so per cent between
1896 and 1900. During the past year
there has been a marked lifting of
the price level. Foodstuffs cost from
10 to 70 per cent more than 10 years
ago.
Something of this Is due to
enormous currency initiation. The
total per capita in the United States
in 1896 was $21.41 and in 1909 it
was 1901. Although the population
has grown by many millions in these
1S years, the amount Of money of
each individual has increased by
1880, or more than 60 per cent.
Tariff Explains Only Partially.
The tariff is another contributing
cause 1t Is true that It can furnish
but partial explanation. For TO
only a limited extent can the rise in
food prices be affected by or traced
to the tariff. Combinations which are
actually a restraint of trade. which
have monopolized their field and are
either controlled by common secret
management OF secret agreement
TO maintain exorbitant charges, are
partly responsible. Still more of the
rise OF prices is due to the decline OF
agricultural products as compared
with the Increase Of population. De-
crease In the number OF cattle and
swine Is also given as a reason.
When due allowance has been
made for the effect Of these force.
that make dearer living there still
remains large unexplained balance.
This must be credited to the lavish
expenditure which has now grown TO
De national trait Waste, idleness
and rising wages, all inter-related
TO one another, now as cause and
now as effect, are next to an issu,

SHARP DECLINE IN COTTON MARKET Bear Pressure ls-Heavy During
 Most of the Day BUYERS ARE VERY SCARCE BuIIish Census Report on Ginning Fails To Keep Prices Up and the
 Close Is at Decline of
 22 to Al Points.
BUYERS ARE VERY SCARCE

New York, January 24.-The cotton market was nervous and unsettled to- day with prices declining sharply un- der liquidation and bear pressure fol- lowing the, bullish census report which failed to stimulate much fresh buying for long account. The close was quiet and steady, but at net decline of 22 to Al points. The opening was at a decline of to IT points in sympathy with relatively weak cables. During the first few minutes the active months rallied or 10 points from the lowest on the census figures, showing only 9,792,990 bales ginned to January IS comparing with 12,666,203 to the same date last year, but there was evidently no aggressive bull support, and prices soon weakened under realizing by last weeks buyers who had been waiting for the census to take profits, and local bear pressure.
 Liverpool buying and a demand from spot houses caused slight rallies at Hines during the day, but the general tendency of prices was lower with sen tlment unsettled as a result of renewed weakness in Wall street and the ab- sence of definite news regarding the interior spot situation in the south, The low point was reached late in the day. when March contracts sold at 14.07 and May at 1420, or Al points below the closing figures of Saturday. Covering and trade demand caused a rally of only or points on the active months at the close
 Notwithstanding the wide fuctua- tons, trading at no time during the day was active. and probably the days entire sales were less than one hours trading during the excitement of last week. Wall street houses were con siderable sellers and local profession als seemed to be against the market owing to the absence of bull support and an idea that mills having secured enough cotton to take care of imme- diate needs on the recent decline were now in a position to again withdraw from the market. Southern spot mar kets were generally unchanged. Spot houses bought considerable May on the decline to 14.20. after midday.
