than our own. because it could be
producee at less cost, Senator War
rem said:
"On a former discussion In This
chamber, when the question of
wool duties was being considered,
the senator from Mississippi sneer-
ingly remarked that he would have
the wool raised in foreign countries
rather than in our own, because of
better conditions in foreign climes
than in our own, that it was not
necessary for the United States to
raise the bananas W.T. eat or the
wool we consume. treating them
as baby industries which must be
braced up and supported by an
outrageous bounty, but that we
should turn our lands and our en-
ergies toward raising crops of more
stable variety, and let the foreign
! countries raise the wool"
Senator Warren called attention
to the fact that the democratic
party has never overlooked an OPP
portunity to attempt to bring
about just such a condition as
seemed desirable to Senator Will.

Our Washington Letter

Washington, August, l5.-"The
constant nagging at schedule X,
the threat of free wool and the
certainty that the tariff on wool
and woolens would be made a po-
htical football for the time being
and probably for a few months
longer, has had its deadly effect
during the past two seasons, and
the value of wool in the United
States has shrunken to almost the
foreign value, and fockmasters are
struggling hard to pay taxes and
preserve their herds" said Sena-
tor Warren in discussing the wool
bill on the floor of the senate. 1T
Is but the truth to say" he con-
hnued, "that nearly all the large
Soolgrowers of today are carrying
substantial debt loads caused by
hard winters and drouth of the
past two years and the low prices
on wool due to the continual lam
oasting of schedule X and every
thing and everybody connected

it."

enjoyed the benefits of an adequate
tariff, the wool business had ad.
vanced, that inadequate protection
had always been attended by alarm
ing decrease in sheep industry
He quoted figures to show that il
we would permit an adequate tar
itf to remain undisturbed, we would
steadily increase in the production
of wool and ultimately raise all we
needed.
As to the saving to the consum-
er to be brot about by lower wool
duties, the Senator declared it to
be a theoretical rather than q ma
terial fact of any consequence, and
predicted there would be NO ap-
preciable change in the price of
clothing to the ultimate consumer
from 3 lower wool tariff. He said:
"If great reductions are to be
made in the price of American
made clothes, they "a only be
made at the expense of great e
auctions in the prices now
paid for labor all along
the line, from the man who
grows the wool to the final delivery
of the made up product to the
custumer."
Senator Warren declared that a
removal of the duty on wool would
put the mutton-grower out of bus
mess as we'll as the wool-grower,
because the gaeat mutton supply
for the millions, that must be rails
ed far aw y from in the country
where there is only grazing land
which does not ripen the mutton
for market, where sheep must be
transported by cars or boat from
long distances to the corn-growing
localities and there finished and
again reshipped to market, could
not be producee for the returns on
mutton alone with wool a mere by
product. Of the Underwood bill
he said;
"This bill seems to suit none ex-
cept those who wish to use it for
a political football. The free-irad
ers do not like it because it smacks
of protection. The tariff for rev-
enue-only people are not satisfied
because some think the rate too
high and others think it too low.
Protectionists are surely dissat isfi
ed with it, because it is uuscientif-
ic, lopsided and inapplicable."

Washington is now importing prac-
tically two-thirs its consumption in
these products, some of which comes
from Oregon and a little at certain
seasons from California, but most of
the poultry is shipped from the Mid
die West states. British Columbia
ought to be able to supply its own
apples cheaper than the good grades
from this state and the Northwest
are sold, and the importation of Cali
fornia fruits free would be a decided
advantage to British Columbia. So
the premier's scare appears not we'll
founded.
On the other hand the removal of
the present 81 per thousand duty on
rough lumber from Canada will not
suit the lumber interests of the
Northwest. Owing to the much
cheaper costs of building and operat-
ing British vessels, which could, with
duty removed carry Canadian lumber
to California ports at prices below
what American mills, forced to use
American vessels in the coastwise
trade, could supply it, it is probable
the lumber interests of the North
west would make a strong demand
for a change in the navigation laws,
either for subsidies to American YES
sells in coastwise trade, or else per-
mission for shipment of lum Der be-
tween American ports in British YES
sells. One report from Washington
is to the effect that it is doubtful if
a single member of congress from
the Northwest will vote for the reci-
procity measure on present terms.
Opinions here in the Northwest and
in this state are divided, however and
some papers are advocating the
treaty while others oppose. Con
gressional opposition is being dis
closed from various points, and the
fate of the pact is doubtful. A close
study of the terms of the proposed
treaty should be made by the people
generally to the end that the con-
sensus of opinion be reflected in
congress in action on the measure

proposed bill fall as lightly on the
printing business as on any. The 4
cents a day to the first aid is to be
drawn from every kind of business in
which labor is employed. The per-
centage of the total pay-rols runs
from one and one-half per cent to 10
per cent. 1t has been estimated that
the first aid fund alone will yearly
amount to 100000, while the ac-
cident fund will average between $5,-
100000 and 100000 year.
Hundreds of manufacturers in all
parts of the state have never had an
accident in their plants; have never
been called upon to pay any sort of
damages for injury to employees,
Careful investigation among all the
manufacturers and others whose en-
ployes are liable to personal risk,
shows that less than 100000 is now
paid as premiums to the liability
companies, and this covers all in
juries and expenses of repairs, Hun
dreds of concerns find it unneces-
sary to carry even this form of pro-
lection as their operation involves no
risk of any kind Yet all are called
by the new bill to contribute to the
immense state fund to be created.
The biz so directly affects every
line of industry that it deserves
greater attention than has been
given it by these interests. Road
making takes per cent rate, while
coal mining is fixed at only 3 laying
asphalt paving is fixed at per cent,

Editors, reporters and printers are not

not often enough. Yet the bill pro-

To the fund for the first aid of
injured persons" every proprietor of
a printing establishment must pay 2
cents a day for each employee, and
each of these employees must also pay
2 cents a day, making a total of
cents daily. In addition to this every
employing printer must pay one and

Postal Savings to BE Extended.

Washington, Feb. eff the nee
essary appropriations were available,
| would establish postal savings
banks tomorrow in 500 additional
cities and towns of the United
States" said Postmaster General
Hitchcock last night, in view of re-
ports of the first months operation
of the postal savings system. The
reports are most gratifying to Mr..
Hitchcock. They are regarded as
demonstrating that the new system
has already passed the experimental
stage.
The certificate of deposit plan,
which is an innovation in the trans
action Of postal savings business, is
shown to be admirably adapted to its
purpose. 1t is readily understood by
depositors and is easily handled by
pOstmasters.
The total deposits in the s exist
ing postal banks for January will APP
proximate 100000. Assuming this
as the average which will be main
tanned throughout the year, the ag-
gregate of deposits will be close to
$75O,000.
1t is assured by officers of the sys-
TEN that the deposit will be CORE
spondingly greater when the service
is extended to first-class offices.
Average amounts of deposits at
each office is indicated by the Janu-
airy returns as larger than the Brit
ish system of postal savings deposit
tories in 1908, the most successful
year in the history of that system.
A large majority of depositors in
January were foreign Americans,
many of whom have been in the
habit of sending their savings to
their native countries. An impor-
tant result of the system, therefore
is to diminish the outflow from the
United States of such funds.
In view of the successful operation
of the new system during its first
month, Postmaster General Hitch.
cock has recomm ended to congress
the appropriation of 81 100000 to be
Immediately available for the extern
sion of the postal savings system to q
considerable number of postoffices
the patrons of which are clamorine
for the new banks.
