WEAR SHODDY CLOTHES.
Duty on Wool Means Cheap Clothes
For Foreigners and Dear Clothes For

Duty on Wool Means Cheap Clothes
For Foreigners and Dear Clothes For
Americans.
The New York Journal of Commerce
Of Feb. % has an article detailing how
the tariff on woolen cloth works to the
advantage Of the foreigner, enabling
him to wear American made clothing
Of much better grade and at lower
cost than the American consumer can
command.
Some enterprising clothing manufac-
turers in this country are importing
foreign cloth, on which they pay a
heavy duty, of course, but by making
this cloth up into garments and export
ing it across the ocean they get a
drawback of 80 per cent upon it, which
enables them to make handsome
profit. Such alertness is, Of course.
highly creditable to their trading in
stincts.
But the funny thing about it is that,
while this will create a demand for
foreign woolens and worsteds and will
directly benefit the foreign consumer.
it will bring no benefit to American
cloth mills or, as above stated, to the
American consumer.
"Garments made Of American cloth,
says the above paper, would have to
be priced at figures so high that no
retailer could be found on the other
side who would have the courage to
place them in his stock, no matter
how much superior they might be in
point Of cut, finish or general work
manship." The reason for this high
price is the high duty which we have
on raw wool in this country and which
makes it impossible for American
clothmakers to compete with foreign
ers. If it were not for this duty Amer.
lean cloth and not foreign cloth would
be used for export.
Thus, for the sake of putting money
into the pockets of certain sheep rails
ers, who already have the benefit of a
tariff on mutton, the vast American
public is forced to wear either shoddy
clothing or dearer clothing than the
foreigner!
This is a clear case where the tarif1
has increased the cost of living. The
gold question has nothing to do with

)regon's Experience With the
Initiative and Referendum.

The Direct Legislation League Of
the State of Washington asked
William S. U''Ren this question,
"What have the people of Oregon
accomplished with the initiative and
referendum" In reply Mr.. U'Ren
cited the following acts:
l. They have made a direct prim-
ary nominating elections law that is
much more satisfactory in its results
than was the old convention plan.
2. They have adopted practical
methods of selecting their U. s.
Senators, securing election by the
legislature of the candidates select
ed by the people, thereby abolishing
the greatest single source of corrup-
tion, waste and confusion in the
legislature.
3. They have destroyed the politi-
cal machine and the job of the party
bosses.
i. They have abolished railroad
passes within the state for public
officers as we'll as for private indi-
viduals.
5. They have stopped the graf
ters' sale of franchises in Portland
and other cities.
6. They have deprived the leg
islature Of power to call a constitu-
tional convention without the
peoples approval on referendum
vote.
Z. They have given cities home
rule in charter making.
8. They have taught the legisla.
ture to respect the constitutional
provision against putting special
appropriations in the general appro-
priation bill.
9. They have added the recall to
the constitution, giving the people
power to discharge state and local
officers who prove to be incompetent
or untrustworthy.
10. They have removed the consti-
tutional restrictions preventing
proportional representation and the
election by majority instead of a
plurality vote.
II. They have passed laws reject
ed by the legislature for taxing GER
tain corporations.
IL. They have rejected some un-
popular appropriations made by the
legislature.
13. They have made a stringent
law against the excessive use of
money in elections; a law which is
designed. so far as money is con-
cerned. to put a poor man on an
equal footing with a rich man in
seeking public office. 1t limits can.
didates to an expense hardly exceed.
ing one-fourth of a years salary in
the Office sought, and the state
bears a large part of the outlay in
the distribution Of literature for
parties and candidates.
IA. They have made a start
toward protecting and preserving
salmon and sturgeon in the Columbia
river and its tributaries.

of Individual responsibility for the
success of self-government in Ore

elusive right to make laws an(

of results, other measures have beer
secured and the people have reject
ed eleven measures, some proposed
by initiative petition and some

Granite Buys Water Power.
The city Of Granite Falls has de-
cided to buy the Pinney water
power at the falls in the Minnesota
river at cost of So, $50. Speaking
of the purchase the Journal says:
The old plant in fairly good con-
dition yet and will furnish all the
power necessary until the new plant
is ready for operation. The new
power house will be built on this
side of the river, where the old mill
used to stand. This will leave the
fine power on the east side to be
used for some other purpose.
The mere lighting of the street
and residences, and the furnishing
of power to turn the wheels and of
industry in our little city is not all
that may be confidently expected of
this new improvement. A magni-
ficent water power is conserved. and
what this observation will mean in
the future it would be hard to tell.
With the present power abandoned
there will be scarcely any limit to
the power we can create. The city
now owns about all the land that
would be overfowed by high dam
at the new site. but high dam will
not be necessary for some years to
come. A dam high enough to sup
ply US with our present needs is all
we need just now. But when want
ed it can be raised, so as to to back
the water for miles. and that with
out injury to any property. Other
towns near by will want light and
power just as soon as we may be
able to supply them. There is NO
question about this. They are ask
ing for it now. Farmers are actually
asking if line cannot be run into
the country to furnish them with
light for their houses and power for
their feed mills. Nor is it stretch
of the imagination to say that trolley
lines will cross this section in the
near futrue and want power tc
operate the same. Supposing we
had had the necessary power here
now to have put in a rock crusher
we could have furnished the Mil
waukee road with all the crushed
stone they needed instead Of the
company having to ship in many cal
loads. The possibilities are limit

What the Jefersoniam Clubs
Gould Do
Clubs

The New England town meeting was one of
the dynamic forces Of antebellum America
During the Embargo period, Thomas Jeffer-
son, then President, declared that he could
feel the ground tremble under his feet in
consequence of the turbulent opposition of the
New England town meetings.
Why is it that our people can not assemble,
once month, and discuss matters of general
interest? The Jeffersonian Clubs might east
ly be made informal debating societies, in
which the old and the young, the learned and
the unlearned, could exchange ideas. Under
a five-minute rule, every one could get hear
ing, and nobody could become bore It is
astonishing how much can be said in five min
utes. l had no conception of it, myself, until
l joined the Phi Deltas at old Mercer By
compelling the speakers to be Brief you could
make it necessary for them to study their
subjects, so that they could condense the
greatest amount of matter into the smallest
possible space.
When you hear speaker rambling all over
creation, you may know that he has not pre-
viously mastered his subject.
Last summer The JEFFERsoNIAN predicted
an advance in the cost of living. It took no
Solomon to foretell that The abominable
Payne-Aldrich tariff made it absolutely GER
tain that the Trusts would tighten their coils
around us. consequently, we warned you to
expect an advance all along the line. More
over, we told you that even though the price
of cotton scared, the robbers who control your
markets would move up their prices, and take
away from you the greater part of what you
gained on cotton.
Well, that's what the robbers are doing
Hon do they manage It,?
You could not have any better question to
discuss in the Jeffersonian Clubs

If each of the clubs had few copies of
that infamous Claw, for examination and
comment, it would keep all hands busy for
months. Excepting the money question, there
IS no other governmental subject of greater
Importance.
Why is it costing everybody so much more
to live, than it did before the enactment of
that damnable claw?
This inquiry concerns all of us, and we
ought to make thorough investigation.
DO you know how the stand-pat Republi-
cans explain the increase of the cost of liv-
ing?
The 6mpudemt liars sag that the farmers
haze caused 1t.
Immediately after the new tariff steal be-
gan to operate, the Trusts began to take ad-
vantage of it, to put prices up What else
could you expect? That as a0hot they changed

Teasing Those Three Judges
{ CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE)

the Legislature of Georgia enacted some
legislation to protect the depositors and
stockholders of the State banks At that
time, those banks issued notes which circu-
lated as money.
During the War, those banks died. But the
laws which made it illegal for bank officials
to do certain things did not die They were
never repealed. They have ever since re
manned in force
Now listen:
In 1898 the Legislature enacted law MAX
ing it criminal for the officers of bank of
issue to do the things forbidden in those an
cient sections of the Civil Code. But, taoo
gears later, the Legislature adopted oar pres
emit Code. In this, the latest codifcation of
our laws, the words "banks of issue" were
omitted, and it was made criminal for ANY
officer of ANY bank to do the things forbid
den in those ancient sections of the Civil
Code The wording of the law of 1896 IS en-
tiae1y different from the wordiaag of the Acts
of 1898. In the broadcast language, the Legis-
lature Of 1895 declared that, if Sang officer of
any bank, or banking association of this
State, SHALL" do the forbidden things, he
SHALL be punished, in the manner specified.
Notwithstanding this broad language ap-
plicable to any sort of State bank, the Court
of Appeals turned Thornton and Many
loose, "deciding" that those penal lars of
1895 had reference only to banks of issue, Of
q0hich zoe haze had none since the CivI War;
Inasmuch as the codifers of 1895 picked
out certain clause of the Act of 1893 omit
ted the qualifying words, "bank of issue,

any and all banks, the re-insertion, by those
three judges, of the qualifying words, qoas

mountains are chock full of sturdy young
