Afer March 10, the commission
will fix rates for two years il its rul-

Tor them to show that rates are not
unreasonable.
ii was contended for the people
that The railroads offered no proof Of
the justice Of the proposed increase
except that they needed the money.
Commissioner Justin G. Clement de-
clared that the commission had not
fixed any rates but had only stopped
an advance. The order made would
not reduce the revenues Of the car
riers one cent.

Can 1t Be True,

The things that the insurgents
meetings are doing to Taft will not
be read into the record by which the
people will Judge his administration
when they pass upon it next year.
Insurgency is no longer in the lime
light and any attempt on the part
of the leaders to come back will be
futile. The fight in the next presi-
dental campaign will be between the
republicans and the democrats and
those who take part in the campaign
will be fighting for one side or the
other regardless of what flag they
fight under. A so-called insurgent
republican is a real ally of the de-
mocratic party and helped them to
win the vantage ground from which
they hope to make winning fight in
1912. Insurgency is only democracy
in disguise and the makeup is so poor
that it deceives nobody.-Yakima

If such there be, go mark him we'll,

lightly, friends, let no rude sound

let him live in calm repose, un-

KEEP THE DOLLAR
At HOME" IS A
GOOD MOTTO NOW

Kennewick has adopted the eco
monte slogan, keep the dollar at
home This means, not merely that
in purchases the local products shall
be given the preference, but when it
developes that local products of GER
tain kinds are insufficient to meet
the market demand, that further pro-
duction at home or in the immediate
vicinity be encouraged.
Other communities which aim at
rapid progress would do well to take
hold of the Kennewick idea and ex-
pand 1t to the limit. Indeed, Sc
attic, the largest city Of the Pacific
Northwest, would do we'll if it would
take hold of the same idea and follow
II up. Here is an example of the way
that it has worked in Kennewick:
Finding that quantities Of eggs and
daily products from the Middle west
were being consumed in Kennewick,
steps were taken by the local COM
mercial body to induce the farmers
in the vicinity to go further into the
business of raising fowls, while a
creamery company was established
which will more than supply the local
demand for dairy products. Flour
was formerly brought in from the
outside Now a flour mill has been
opened and the local demand is met
in this way.
Seattle imports from outside OF
the state hundreds of thousands OF
dollars worth of farm products
which could be raised just as well al
home; even better, in fact. The de-
velopment of the surrounding agri-
cultural country is therefore of the
first Importance to this city. Other
products are imported and used here
in the local markets to enormous
amounts. while local factories, pro-
ducing identical articles, are not ex-
banding as they should. If each in
dividual citizen of Seattle should ac'
cept the economic theory of keeping
| the dollar at home and give the loca
product the preference, the manufac
turing industries of this city would
expand at a great rate and the city
would be far more prosperous than II
has ever been, even in the height OF
any previous booms.-Post Intelli

Who Recommended Them?

President Taft-You appointed to the chief JUS
tceship of the supreme court Justice White, who
thirteen years ago. took the trusts side of the trust
question: you appointed him the head of Justice
Harlan who had served longer and with more distinction
and who had taken the peoples side on trusts and
other questions Who asked you to give trust demo-
crat the preference antitrust republican? Make
public the recommendations, written and verbal and
let the people know the influences that dictate your ap
pontments.
You appointed Governor Hughes to the supreme
bench after he had interpreted your platform to suit
the trusts and he proceeded to join Chief Justice White
and carry your platform promise to amend the anti
trust law by weakening it.
Make public the written and verbal recommends
tons upon which you appointed Justice Hughes and let
the people how many trust magnates united to Sc
cure his appointment.
All the other supreme Justices appointed by you,
took the side of the in those decisions Make
public the written and verbal recommendations
which you appointed them and let the public see how
completely you have turned highest court to
the trusts.
You say that the trusts. having secured what
thew want there shall be no change in the law. Hav-
ing aided the trusts make the law to suit Them you
now propose keep the people from amending the law
in their interest
Please tell the people why anybody but trust
magnate should ndorse your position the trust ques

Farming VS.. Mining

People who have made injudl-
cious investments in mining, and lost
are prone to complain bitterly and
q great amany believe that mining
is an Improbable business.
For the benefit of those holding
that opinion we would cell attention
to the following comparisons.
The United States census Of 1900
made careful inquiry as to the num-
her of persons engaged and the
amount of capital employed in our
leading industries and the value OF
their output, the report reads as fol-
lows:
There were S,2S5,61S persons en-
gagged in agriculture. The total val
ne of tho farm products show the
amount produced by each person so
engaged was 1927. There were
74,43s persons employed in the min
ing. milling and smelling OF goid'
silver, copper, lead and zinc. Inc
value of their output for each per-
son was $1,910.
No other industry offers the splen-
did profits attainable in mining ana
the fact that the production OF gold
and other precious metals in the
world is constantly growing as mod
ern machinery is being invented
proves conclusively that this INDUS
try is being prosecuted more vigor-
ously year after year.
In conclusion it may be SAID tha'
q woman whose husband ran gen.
ora, store in q country district cred
tied a customer for $1,000 and the
man went broke"
The merchant was forced 10 tahe
; ooo shares of Calumet and Hecia
mining stock for his bill. Since the
merchants death the widow mas re-
ceived s1,O00,OO0 in dividends ana
the stock is now worth about $5oo'-
900.

100000 RAISED
IN BALTIMORE
FOR CONVENTION

Baltimore, Maryland, the conven-
ton city of the early days has raised
hundred thousand dollars for The
democratic national convention. The
business men have already put this
money in the bank and their COM
mittee claims that they have pledg-
es enough from democratic national
committeeman to insure them the
convention for 1912.
There are many cities bidding for
the national republican convention.
Kansas City, Missouri, making an es-.
Iecial effort to entertain that great
gathering of republicans. 1t is ex-
pected that the republicans will hold
their convention the early part of
June and the democrats will follow
soon after. The party in power al
ways hold their convention first and
it is expected that the old precedent
will be followed next year.
Speaking of Baltimore as Il con-
vention city.
Should the 1912 Democrats 20 to
Baltimore to name their candidate
for the presidency they will make the
convention a sort of homecoming
affair, which will afford iiae oppor-
tunity for fine oratorical periods on
the part of the convention speakers.
The first national political conven-
ton in the country's history was in
1882, and it is interesting to note
that the three national conventions
of that year were held in Baltimore,
the democratic which nominated An
drew Jackson, the national republic
can, which nominated Hencv Clay;
and the anti-Masonic which nomina-
| ted William Writ, who, by the way
in the November election captured
the seven electoral votes of Vermont
/ the anti-Mas mic r1cvement of that
time being at ira height.
The Democrats held their national
convention at Baltimore in 1896,
when Jackson was renominated.
They returned to Baltimore in 1910
and in 1914 both political parties
held the national conventions there.
In 1S4S and again in 1852 Baltimore
was the Democratic convention city,
and in the last year the Wings NOM
mated their candidate for president
there also. In 1856 the Wings met
in Baltimore again. In 1860 three
national conventions met there-the
Democratic convention, which NOM
mated Douglas, the constitutional
union convention. which nominated
Bell, and the Democrtic convention,
which nominated Breckenridge. In
1854 the Republicans held their first
and only national convention in Bal
timore, renominating Lincoln. The
Democrats nominated Horace Gree
ley in Baltimore in 1872 since which
time it has not been chosen for ma
tional convention purposes by any
great party.

bank that was fifteen years getting
its savings deposits up to $3,O00,000
During that period certain young
man had worked up to position of
some authority. He went before the
board of directors and suggested ad-
vertising. They were duly shocked;
in fact, some were indignant. Hadn't
they been advertising all these years,
publishing at stated intervals their
financial condition? Hadn't they
gotten out booklets showing the
front of the building and the burglar
proof vaults? Hadn't they issued
calendars and souvenirs. all in strict
ly dignified way?

sistent as well as logical, finally Sc
cured an appropriation They secured

ments that should never overlap.
Whatever it's editorial views it must
give the news, even If the news

its ideal will be to serve the people
