TRIBUTE TO INFLUENCE OF c. S. JACKSON

George and the single tax, worked
hard in the early days for the Aus
tralian ballot and in his ne "spaper,
the East Oregonian, strongly sup
ported the referendum law. Mr..
Jackson became a convert to pure
democracy through reading his favor
ite author, Mark Twain, especially
his Connecticut Yankee" and it was
quite natural, when he came to Port
land in 1901, to establish a paper of
his own that he should champion the
popular cause. In those days Harvey
w. Scott's paper the Oregonian, the
leading newspaper on the Pacific
coast, advocated the popular reforms
as the years have gone by, however
this paper has passed from a position
OF tolerance to one of open hostility
and Mr.. jackson has come to tn,
front as the leading journalist,
spokesman of the democratic move
ment."

upon the oregon system and the men
who have been influential in behalf
of popular government within this

Washington, July 26.-That j. P.
Morgan, usually esteemed as a money
king and builder of trusts, is in real
ity only a servant of John d. Rookie
feller, was the gist of a report by
Burdette Townsend a former special
United States investigator. which was
presented to the house committee in
vestigating the steel trust today.
Chairman Stanley declared the re-
port, which was made in 1908, to
Former Attorney General Bonaparte,
proved conclusively that the prose-
cution of the steel trust under the
Sherman law would nave been sue
cessful.
Townsend asserted in the report
that the trust controlled 80 per cent
of the farm machinery business.
Townsends report says: INC
Cormick, one of the heaviest stock
holders in the machinery trust, is a
son-in-law of Rockefeller. The Nc
Cormick family, therefore. is already
distantly related by marriage with the
great American family of trusts.
Morgan is the trust architect
usually employed by the Rockefellers.
He is a good trust builder and re-
ceives fabulous fees. George w. Per-
kins is his associate

Apple Trees for China.

Peking, July 26.-It is stated upon
very good authority that the govern
ment is considering a plan to send a
corps of agricultural experts to the
United states in the early autumn to
study the apple growing industry. with
a view to adding it to the industries
of China.
The excellence of the oregon and
Washington apple is we'll known in
several Chinese cities, due largely to
the holiday gifts of apples sent by
James j. Hill, Maurice Thomson and
others who have important CONNER
cial connections. At present the APP
pie is a luxury beyond the reach OF
even the well to do Cinnamon. but
those who have tasted the fgruit are
so delighted with it, that they are

London. July 26.-War between
England and Germany was brought
appreciably nearer today by the semi
official announcement that Chancel-
lor Lloyd George may become secre-
tary of foreign affairs.
If appointed, this means that
Georges recent speech, warning Ger
many to keep her hands off of Nor

ton Of the British cabinet.
Diplomats say this is tantamount
to a war threat.
That the government believes the
chances are good for trouble, is seen
in the cancellation Of the Atlantic
fleets Norwegian cruise. This will
hold the bulk of English warships
near England and ready for any emer-
gency that may arise.

the Canadian reciprocity agreement
will become operative, now that 1t
has been finally ratified into law by
congress and President Taft, was a
question upon which there was di-
vision of opinion among authorities
here today
AS agreed to, the measure contains
two sections The first sets forth the
full dutiable and free list articles to
be sent under the terms OF the bill
from this country to Canada, and the
dutiable and free lists of articles sent
from the dominion to the United
States.
The second section provides for free
entry into the United states from Ca
madam provinces that do not enforce
anv export tax or other restrictions,
on shipments TO the United states

paper and paper board manufactur-
ed mainly of wood pulp and valued al
not more than four cents pound.
Senator Reed Smoot (Rep. Utah),
one of the highest authorities on the
tariff in the senate, today asserted
that the the first section of the Dill
could not take effect until 1t had been
passed by the Canadian parliament
"As to section g." he said, there
is n strong opinion among senators
that it will take effect on the pas
sage of the bill by congress even II
Canada, at that time, has taken nc
action on the reciprocity measure.
In the first section of the agree
ment is a provision setting forth tha'
the dutiable and free lists of articles
from Canada "shall take effect when
ever the president of the Unlteo
states shall have satisfactory evidence
and shall make proclamation tha'
the dutiable and free lists or the

An apparent defect in the United
States bill was pointed out by some
senators. If Canada should, some
day. repeal the Canadian bill, the
United States law would remain in
force until congress could take ac-
ton.
1t was several times suggested that
the bill be amended so that it would
be automatically repealed in the
event of the repeal of the Canadian
law by the Ottowa parliament, but
the general belief was that the condi-
tons under which it might operate
to the disadvantage of the United
States were beyond the range of pos
sibility.
