A SIGNIFICANT VISIT.

The visit to this city of the experts
representing the tariff board is an
encouraging incident and one that
shows the progress the country is
making in the matter of revising tar
Fl schedules.
This is the first time the govern
ment, before enacting a change in
the tariff on wool, has ever sent men
out to ascertain the cost of producing
wool. Heretofore the changes have
always been made on political basis
and those who have drafted the sched-
ules have never had full knowledge
ef conditions. This time, if the re-
vision of schedule X is withheld until
winter when Prof. Shaw will have his
report in readiness, the tariff makers
will be able to act with accurate know
ledge of how the woolgrowers are
faring.
The statistics relative to the wool
Industry during the past year should
furnish a powerful argument for a
permanent tariff commission author
fzed to enact changes in tariff sched-
and with due notice to the growers.
Few woolgrowers in eastern Oregon
have made any money during the past
II months and many have lost money
simply because of the uncertainty
with regards to the tariff.
1t seems now there will be no
change in schedule X this session yet
At one time there was a possibility Of
a radical change and the buyers took
advantage Of the fact to beat down
the price of wool. The sheepbuyers
took advantage of the low price Of
wool and the scarcity of range to
beat down the price Of sheep. SO
the poor woolgrowers caught it ''go-
ing and coming" and their troubles
were due-not to a democratic con-
gress-but to the fact that this coun-
try has always followed the policy Of
fixing tariff schedules in accordance
with political exigencies and not al
ong business lines.
This time, If schedule X is not re-
vised until the experts report, Uncle
Sam Will not change the tariff on
wool until he has first visited the

Prospects of a fight for places on the
democratic town ticket brought forth
four hundred voters of that party to

sion the caucus was one q the most

and proved void. the second cast of
votes gave p. D. Donohue the nominal
ton for registrar by a plurality of 50.

margin over his opponent, present Sc
1ectman James J. Tew.

ty of stating the Importance of the as

would see that they elect a man who
will see that absolute justice between
the rich and poor is done. To insure E
fair vote, the ballot box was used.
