CAMPAIGNING WITH THE GOODS

Down in Oklahoma, a state where
many new features are originated, Ed
ward Arnold, Of Holdenville, has been
making speeches in the country school
houses. He has been especially insis-
tent that the tariff is not responsible
for the high cost of living. Mr.. Arnold
he of Holdenville, had heard much
about the duty on cotton fabrics so he
got a piece of calico, some shifting
and some muslin and started out to
demonstrate There is no use in tell
ing it to them unless you can cite
them," is the way he put it. Before
starting out Arnold went to the old
est merchant in town, bought the
speeches and then had the merchant
make signed statement to the effect
that the price of the calico and of the
shifting had been the same during the
past ten years, and that the only in
crease during the ten years was 1
cent per yard for the domestic.
Then Arnold had the marchant give
the prices he had paid the farmers of
Holdenville community for cotton, the
main crop, during the past ten years.
It showed that ten years ago pound
IF Gotten bought a yard of calico, or
yard of the domestic, 2 pounds OF
cotton a yard of shifting, and pounds
got three pairs of socks. The mer.
chant also made a signed statement
to the effect that cotton is now bring.
ing in the neighborhood of IL cents
pound, while the dry goods, with the
exception of the 1 cent advance In
domestic, remain the same in price.
Arnold got enthusiastic over the
matter. cts all right to have the vot.
ers present when you are making a po
litical speech, but if you intend to
leave the right kind of an impression
if you are going to quote cost marks on
goods of every day use, then the vot.
ers should be accompanied by their
wives, and they will tell the fathers
and sons and husbands that what you
are saying about prices is the truth. u
Here, ladies is a yard of the best
calico; it's the same quality you have
been buying since you were married
and it costs you today cents a yard.
"And here is a yard Of the best
Mississippi shifting, the kind from
which you make shirts for your hus-
bands and sons; and It e'sts you to-
day 10 cents a yard.
"And here is a yard of the best
brown domestic and there isn't wom-
an present that does not know exactly
what this goods is, for each one of
you have made up many a yard Of it
into sheets, pillow cases and undergar-
ments, and it costs You today 8 cents
a yard"

deal about the tariff enhancing the
price OF goods, Just as we hear every
time the tariff is revised, it is refresh.

FEDERAL REGISTRATION BILL
BEING URGED BY MOTORISTS
Congressman Calder Has Promised to
Do All He Can to Secure Fa-
Vorable Action

Many reports received by Charles
Thaddeus Terry, chairman of the leg
islative board of the American Auto
mobile association. indicate that en-
ergetic work is being carried on by
scores of clubs throughout the coun-
try toward inpressing members of the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, which has charge of the
federal registration automobile bill, as
well as their respective congressman,
with the fact that the motorists of
the country keenly desire to see the
bill reported out of the committee and
brought before congress for definite
action.
In Chicago and in other cities
throughout Illinois, vigorous cam
paign for the bill has been started.
Peter A. Meixell of the Wilkesbarre
club, Pa, writes that his club of
several hundred members has made a
strong appeal to the congressman from
that part of the state to take active
steps toward obtaining a favorable
report on the bill.
A number of clubs in New York
state are pushing the matter actively
through communications from the
clubs and by individual members to
their representatives in congress. Con-
gresham William M. Calder of Brook
lyn, N. Y, In answer to scores of
these requests from prominent motor
lists, has made the encouraging reply
that he will do everything he can to
secure favorable action on the bill
