THE COUNTY COMMITTEE

The primary election law places
the selection of a county committee
in the voters of each precinct. In
the blank space under the words
County Committeeman" on the
ballot the voters should write the
name. Of some member of the party
to which he belongs to act as a
member Of the county committee
for two years. After the name
written in cross must be stamped
or the vote will not be counted.
The democrats of each precinct
should unite on some person to
serve them as q member of the
county committee and then write
the name on their ballots and
stamp 1t with a cross just as they
do for the other candidates they
vote for. In this way a represent
alive county committee will be
elected. Democrats should not
forget this important duty to their
party.

CENTURIES OF WORK AHEAD

The Saturday Evening Post
calculates that at the present rate
of progress it will take 400 years
to get the tariff down to reason
able limits" This conclusion is
the result of its appeal to the
figures which, according to one of
the Evening Posts contemporaries,
upheld President Taft and his
new tariff" It seems that for the
nine months ending with April
the average duty on all imports,
free and dutiable, was 2O.91 per
cent. as against 22.73 per cent,
under the Dingley law. On duti-
able imports the average was 41.7S
per cent, whereas under the
Dingley law il was 42.41 per cent.
Thus says the Post:
After all the vast commotion,
which tariff revision involved, we
get a reduction Of duty amounting
to .68 Of one per cent, as to duti-
able imports, or to almost two per
cent. as to all imports, free and
datiable combined"
Here is the Posts conclusion:
Since 1870 the republican party
has vouchsafed US reduction of
2.22 per cent, in the duty on
manufactures-or, to be exact, on
all dutiable imports. This is at
the rate of one per cent. every 10
years. At that rate it will take
only 400 years to get the tariff
down to reasonable limits. No
wonder the president reg ards the
figures complacently! But We do
not think any insurgent. will be
dismayed by them"
But something must be said, not
only of the reduction, but of its
consequences. Between 1870 and
1905 we are told that the number
Of iron and steel mills fell from
.80S to 606, though the value of the
output rose from SEQ, 900, 900 to
5000, 100000. The number Of
wooden mills fell from 3,2O8 to
1918 though the value of the
product rose from 5000, 900, 900 to
$500, 600, 000.In the cotton industry
there has been a growth both in the
number of mills and in the product,
the former rising from 956 to l.
OFT, and the later from $170, O0O,.
600 to $44O,0OO,O0O. This"
says the Post, barely suggests the
growth Of our manufacturers and
the extent to which they have been
consolidated or 'trustified." The
growth is not great, considering
the lnog period OF time covered,
no greater than would have been
experienced under a much lower
tariff, or even under no tariff at
all. But the tendency toward on
solidation has been marked.
Such are some Of the figure 8
which uphold President Taft and
the new tariff" Others might be.
and Of course, will be given. 1t
can be shown that the working men
get little or none Of the bonus,
that the labor cost of production
Is less than the protection granted,
and that, therefore, the present
duties, besides, covering whatever
difference there may be between
the cost production there and
abroad, more than cover the total
labor cost Of manufacture. But
the Immediately interesting fact is
that IL will take congress at the
present rate. 400 years to effect
any reduction Of duties at all
worth while.

Gee and Caste In

Yesterday afternoon there was
some fine tennis played al the Bore

defeated the Californian crack, sc.
The result was surprise, as. good
as Gee Is. nobody thought he could

however, has not get his shore legs

form; he VIII do much better to-
day.
Mclaughlin then tackled Gee, ana
q enc match It was TO watch. The
Honolulu man played a splendid
same, and the Californian could only
manage 10 take the set. SO. l.nng
played Castle, and 1t ran to n van
lage set, which was finally won By
the Davis Cup man. rs.
Castle and Gee then tackled Long
and Mclaughlin, and after n fine OK
hibition Of tennis the set went TO
the visitors by Il score of 81. The
play Of the local men was very good
all the afternoon, and, Judging by
the way Castle and Gee did against
their doughty opponents. the chance
of Roth ana Gee defeating The Cal
ifornians on Sunday seems good.
Gee showed what a sterling play
er he is b. defeating Long and run
