FARMERS AND RECIPROCITY.

~ HE EDITOR Of the Saturday Evening Post has
| been paying considerable attention to politics
| l and is along with scores Of other editors per-
N---S picked at the apparent Inconsistencies the
part Of the general public. Recently he mad this
to say:
Last years elections certainly raised a strong pre-
sumption that farmers of the Middle West were highly
dissatisfied with the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill, We do
not know how else 70 interpret the route Staudpnt
Republican candidate in the Mississippi Valley. But
number of organizations claiming to represent these
same farmers are fighting Canadian reciprocity. which
Ii the first tangible step yet taken in tho direction OF
real tariff reform,
This relation they say, would force farmer to
meet the competition of Canadian products duty free.
though nearly everything he buys would sun be
CHARGED with the high tariff thereby giving unfair
advantage to the Canadian competitor, who pur-
chase supplies that not charged with high tariff
tax Tho only advantage under the agreement would
go to the protected manufacturer who would get an
enlarged market for his products As they see IT, the
farmer would be still further sacrificed to the pro-
tcctcd manufacturers
II this the whole case perhaps there would
not be much to say FOR the reciprocity agreement But
IT is only the beginning Of the case. This agreement
definitely breaks the vicious circle by which the high
protective system has long been mamalncd--yasty
to the harm OF the farmer n farmers OF the Middle
West can DE persuaded that their prosperity depends
upon protection against Canadian grain, there will be
little trouble IN porsuadng them that they must vote
continued protection to steel WOOL and on because
'hc only way they can get protection Is 10y Joining
hands with other people who want protccton-and
the only the other people gct protection Is by
Joining hands wita the farmers. This hand Joining
has been going on for fifty years The other people
have got the chcstuu; the has got the cndcrs
Let him step out of the vicious circle and the whole
forty percent system falle to the ground Canadian
reciprocity win take him out Of the circle.

Tulsa is a Marvel to
Thoughtful Visitors

Living here, busy with our own affairs we keep
step without considering what Tulsa's growth dur
ing the past ten years and now will mean continued
until 1920 The census recOrd-1400 in 1900; 5000
in 1907; $4,000 in 1910; 26,000 today shows the
greatest ratio Of growth made by any city in the
United States, Our postal receipts tell story
$4,000 in 1900; 100000 in 1910 and the first half Of
the present month more than $1,000 ahead Of the
same period last year. Outside observers give us
100000 population in 1920. One of these is the
Telephone Company Its officers live and have their
individual interests in Oklahoma City. They know
Tulsa like book yet not with the possible bias Of
ourselves. They cannot afford to invest nwisely
nor tie up their capital beyond the needs Of the SER
vice. They figure one subscriber for each ten people,
one thousand phones to ten thousand people, 10000
phones to 100000 people. Remembering this what
do you think of the 9600-subscrber switch board
now being installed in the new Pioneer building
here? Getting ready for 100000 population in Tulsa
by 1920.
Tulsa is the greatest oil city in the world, and its
importance in the oil world is only just dawning.
Last year more than one-seventh Of the entire
worlds crude petroleum was produced within sixty
miles of Tulsa. Since the first Of January daily pro
duction has increased more than $4,000 barrels.
Every oil and pipe line interest is centered here The
Texas refinery is increasing its capacity. The
Prairie is building here its largest shops west Of
Chicago. Oil men are turning their money into our
factories wholesale houses, and nterurban railways.
These influences alone will give Tulsa 100000 popu-
lation by 1920. And do not forget that population
makes values, nothing else does. Increase our num-
bers four times and values must increase eight times.
A 5000 lot today will mean $1,000 then. Read this
again. it is absolutely true AS a renter you should
square away to get your part of this prosperity.

ground In Orchard Addition you find every condi-
ton right for delightful home siteclOse in loca-

QUARRY WORKERS WIN
A DECISIVE VICTORY
Owners and Contractors in Or.
ange, N. j., Yielding to De- !
mands of Their Employees.

ORANGE, N. j., July 27.-The
strike of quarrymen in Orange, N. j.,
will be settled before tomorrow
morning, it is expected, with a sub
stantial victory for the men. a$ - !
Several quarry operators in the Or
anges have already signed an agree
ment with the men and the other
firms are contemplating doing the
same. I'D f@.E545'
The principal feature Of the agree
ment which is now being signed by
the employers and the union are
recognition of the union and an in
crease in wages. Instead of getting
$1.75 for ten-hour day, as in some
cases. the men will receive about $3.50
for nine hours. .,.&s y 5l#
In addition to the new wages for
the men, which are substantial adj
vance over what some firms have
been paying, the new agreement pro-
vides that all laborors to be employed
must be members of the Hodcarriers
and Building Laborers' union, or men
who signify their intention of joining.
The contractors are to pay car fares
for trips in excess of three miles to
work from the company's offices. A
clause provides that should any
changes be decided upon prior to
July 1. 1914, in the agreement scale,
the same shall be adjusted six months
before the expiration of the agree
ment. s}s4 r. hE ,3G9s

WASHINGTON, July 27.-(Special
tc Labor World)-A wide scope Of
country being affected by the sea-
mems strike, it Is difficult to COM
pute accurately the sum total of ad-
vance made, yet fragmentary reports
received from England, France, Ger
many, Belgium, Holland. Denmark
and Sweden, much favorable news
comes. At present the strike seems to
be centered in Great Britain, Bel
gium and Holland. No general strike
movement has been on in the United
States. In Germany many agreements
have been entered into with the ship
owners. The Denmark seamen are
still negotiating for agreements. In
Norway a bill is being discussed in
parliament, and, if adopted, will large
meet the situation.
Conditions in Sweden.
In Sweden the unions Of seamen are
yet suffering from the crippled con-
dition In which pervious struggle
left them. The International Tran
sport Workers feredation, while it
has not officially sanctioned the strike
has issued an appeal for financial as
sistance. It is understood, hawever,
that if any attempt is made to tarn-
sport labor from one country to an
other, with view to strike breaking,
the federation will take action. The
strike does not appear to be general,
even in Great Britain, Belgium and
Holland, but there has been a series
of sectional strikes which have met
with apparent success. The most in,
tense situation has been at LIVERPOOL
Manchester and Hull, where the other
water front tardes have in a measure
combined to assist the qseamen.s !
Prominent Feature. u.
One prominent feature is the re-
markable revival in England Of the
Seamen's and Firemen's union, which
has, during this edifficulty, rapidly
increased in membership and effec-
tiveness. The great difficulty exper-
fenced by the International Transport
Workers federation is the fact that
the organizations comprising the fed
GRAFTON are not we'll organized. The
character of employment of seamen
makes it exceedingly difficult to mar
shall these men into a strong and ef-
fect1ve organization. Taken as a
whole, however, the Seamen's strike
has been of immense value, not only in
effecting advances in wages and bet
tered conditions, but it has been the
means of bringing many seamen into
the organization. II;
