HIGH TARIFF MUST DIE

Let it be said, as an established
proposition that an artificial res
traint of trade is public disadvan-
tage. Whatever a man has honestly
acquired is his own. So said Lord
Camden in the British Parliament at
the beginning of the American revo-
luton, when the colonies were pro-
testing against the payment of taxes
in the laying of which they had
had no voice. A citizen is bound
TO contribut, according to his pos
sessions, toward the support of the
government under which he lives.
But the government has no right to
collect from the people more than is
necessary to meet the proper ex-
penses of it's administration, upon
some form of assessment impair
italy levied. To collect more than
that is to practice unWarranted ex-
tortion. 1t is robbery. To tax one
class of inhabitants for the benefit
of another class is also robbery.
Britain persisted in its effort to tax
the colonies, while the colonies were
not permitted to share in directing
the government, the colonies struck
for, and won their independence.
Let it be remembered that our
ancestors made stand upon their
national rights in war for independ
ence. They defended their action
by quoting the doctrine-the aca-
demic sentiment that taxation with
out representation is robbery, and
Lord Camden supported their con-
tention.
Mr.. Taft was educated at Yale
where the academic senti-
ment prevails that a protective tar
fiji, because of its injustice and res
traint of trade is against public
policy, but when elected president,
he was another mans man. nd so
harnesed in by the reactionary ele-
ment in his party, that he failed
to redeem the promise made in the
campaign by him to revise the ex-
listing tariff downward. Mr.. Taft
has finally made the discovery that
the failure to make a radical reduc-
ton of tariff duties as promised
is threatening the existence of the
party, and he has bodily
seized by his own hands the helm
of the party, resolved that within
the remaining four weeks of the
present congress his party ship
shall reach the shore on the tariff
issue, and thus satisfy public de-
mands for a removed of the hard
ships of an extortonate tariff, and
make possible his denomination and
reelection in 1912, by clinching a
treaty with Canada.
The medicine is sickening to the
high protectionists. But they must
swallow it quickly, or it VIII be too
late, when the democrats-abo to
come into power-will reap the-l
credit of relieving the country from
great suffering from a most outrag-
eous wrong. The democrats can
afford to help Mr.. Taft out of his |
present danger by assisting to rati-
fly the reciprocity treaty. The adop-
ton of that measure will sound The |
deathknell of high-tariff robbery
on the western hemisphere when
true Pan-Americanism will take its |
place. Hasten the day.

Senator Owen Of Oklahoma ut
tered words that were as truthful
as they were biting when in speak
ing against the ship subsidy bill ne
advised the senate to adjourn and go
home. This congress has been
repudiated by the American
people, declared enator Owen, and
yet it continues in session in an ef-
fort to put through the discredlted
legislation like the ship subsidy bill
The people repudiated the party
in power because of its advocacy
of ship subsidy, other subsidies
and it's subservience to the special
interests. The dignity OF such emf
nent statesmen as Vice-President
Sherman, Senator Lorimer and all
the horde of discredited servants OF
the special interests was consider
ably ruffled by Senator Owens plain
talk. The truth frequently hurts.

dresses to our farmers and instruct
them on stock-raising and farming.
/ only hope that our people will turn
out in full force; they will be bene.
flied by what they see and hear.
The great trouble with most people
is that they feel that they are grad
yates in farming, when as fact we
know nothing beyond the elementary
principles. Mr. w H Andrews will
have the meeting in charge and will
appoint managing committee. The
full arrangements will be given later.

mer's daughter, Mrs W T Cliff, near
Brunswick, Ga. We are glad to re-
port that both of our grandchildren
were convalescing when last heard
from.
Our neighborhood has been visit
ed by rain at last, but still we suffer
for lack of it. The following pro-
pressive farmers have very fine crops
and have been blessed with rains for
the past 80 days: Messrs R NJ Hasel-
dent A McCants, W A Moore. e w
Camlin and others in their neighbor-
hoods. In small strip of territory
those men have excellent crops.
We had our first rain here last
week. We have good farmers,w whose
farms are within three miles OF
those of the men above named, that
will not make five bushels of corn to
the acre. These crops have been in
no way neglected, but failed for lack
of rain. Our fields are clean in this
immediate section and we cannot
expect a crop now, for it is too late;
but Providence will provide.

LOWER RATES
 ON SANTA FEE
Fl PasO and Deming of POintS
 North of Phoenix
LONG-SHORT HAUL CLAUSE
Tariffs to Intervening Stations Made to HarmOnizO With Rates to This City EstabI- ished by Competitors Lesser Mileage.

The Arizona Railway commits sion has received for filing copy of Santa Fe tariff No. 8225-B, issued June "A and effective July 1, making class and commodity rates from El Paso and Deming to stations on the Santa Fe main line and Santa Fe Prescott & Phoenix and branch lines in Arizona. The new class rates be- tween Ell Paso and Deming and the s. F. P. 6 P. stations north of Phoenix are considerably lower than heretofore, the first class rate being reduced 31 cents per hundred pounds. Other classes are approximately reduced.
 The Santa Fe has always met the short line rates established by the Southern Pacific company at Phoenix but charged higher rates from Fl Paso and Deming, to Flagstaff, Williams, Prescott, Glendale and other points on it's line intermediate with Phoenix, owing to it's circuitous and longer route.
 These higher rates did violence to the long and short haul" clause, of section 4 of the inter- state commerce law and the rail- road company filed with the in- terstate commission, an applica- tion to be relived of those pro- visians. The application was denied and the new rates have been established under the com Fourth Section Order No. 21."
