PROTECTIVE TARIFF
IS MYTHICAL

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 9.-aany
have thought the United States so pre-.
eminent in agriculture that it could
feed the earth" without asking much
odds of the rest of the world; and yet,
according to the secretary Of agricul-
Iture, we imported in 1911 the very
considerable value of S697 .000,o00
worth of things taken from the land.
In some things the United States is
forging rapidly ahead For instance.
as the Washington Times remarked
editorially few days ago, the Thanks
giving tables of the country were once
furnished forth with raisins and
oranges grown beyond the sea, while
now both of these mxuries are grown
in the United States to the exclusion
almost wholly OF the foreign articles.
A generation ago this country pro-
duced no lemons. Now California pro-
duces one-half of all the country CON
sumes, and it could produce the other
half also; incidentally. the price to the
consumer has decreased. OF course,
these feats in home production have
been accomplished with the aid Of
tariff protection. But how do the
Italian producers of lemons still .u-
age TO sell one-half or more o
lemons consumed in the United
States? First, through cheaper con-
ditions Of production, especially in la
Dor; cheap ocean freigbts, and a gov
ernmental subsidy. Secondly. by
system of rebates. part of which comes
out of the revenues Of the United
States
Ocean freight from Sicily to New
York amounts to about s5 cents per
box, but the steamship companies give
a rebate of cents, which goes into
slush fund used by the exporters in
Palermo and the importers in New
York to work for reduction in the
tariff levied by the United States In
addition to this, there is rebate Of 6
cents a box on all lots of 1000 boxes
Tor more. These rebates, 1t is said,
lhave amounted to more than 100000
in single year The trade has been
compelled to take notice OF these re-
bates. Recently the New York fruit
exchange issued circular showing
that the brokers got the amount Of the
rebate from the importers. that the re-
Ibate was deducted from the price the
fruit brought at auction. and that in
consequence the published auction
prices were higher than the prices ac-
tually paid.
: There is another rebate enjoyed by
the importers of lemons. This is
granted to them by the United States
! government on fruit imported WHICH
is claimed to be decayed and SO ad'
} judged by the inspectors. In the per
iod from January to September, 1909
{ the total duty collected on lemons
was 81 ,0S9S4, and of this $13l,
$3.50, or 10.9 per cent, was paid back
in rebates. In June the rebates were
1913 per cent, in July 13 per cent, and
, lin August 16 per cent Of the duty paid
During the same period in 1910, the
amount of duty collected was $1736,
SO1 .O5, of which s153,O39.3O, or S. pei
cent was rebated. making the average
rebate for two years 81 per cent; but
/. in May, 1910, the rebate amounted te
, l9.6 per cent, and in June 1871 pei
cent of the total collections SO thai
, to this extent the protection" Of the
tariff is mythical.

BANQUET IN HONOR OF
FOOT BALL TEAM

Through the courtesy of Marshall
Stevens, a member of the city school
board, the football squad was feasted
lsumptuously last evening at the Con-
gregational church. There were about
thirty present, consisting of the high
school faculty, school board and the
ministers of the city and several of
Vinitas distinguished citizens. The
boys gave several high school yells
adding the names of Mr.. Stevens and
the other persons present.
The feast itself was too elaborate
to describe. It consisted of oysters,
turkey and all the delicacies which go
with them
| The hours following the feast was
| spent in speech making. Superintend-
ent Masterson gave an interesting and
enthusiastic speech on "The High
School Athletics" He outlined the
beginning OF athletics in Vinita and
spoke highly of the support given
them by our citizens. Mr.. Stevens as
toastmaster then called on several
others who responded very ably to the
call. OF these Rev Davis, DR.. Wray
and Judge Gill encouraged the boys
to strive to do the greater things in
life with the same zeal and energy as
they have struggled on the gridiron.
| Capt. Scott of the football squad re.
sponded for the team with a speech
which partly expressed the warm
gratitude the boys felt.
Every one left the church speaking
lin the highest terms possible of Mr.
Stevens for the help and encourage
ment he extended them and he has
certainly found a warm spot in the
heart of every student of the Vinita
thigh school.
