Constitutional Amendment and
 Referendum Laws Affective.

After the completion of the canvass of votes cast at the last general cleo. ton. Gov. Hunt, last Thursday even- ing, issued his proclamation declaring the new constitutional provisions and all referendum laws effective. The laws covered by the late election are all the railroad measures, which ir. clude the electric headlight, full crew, semi monthly payday, number of cars in a train, three cent fare, three years service for engineer as fireman and the same years as brakeman for con- ductor before promotion. The Miners lien law and the game laws also be- came effective. Under the provisions of the miners lien law mines under bond or option are liable for all debts contracted in any way by the O. erators of the property. The game laws re. quire license to hunt in the state, and covers many important features.
 The constitutional amendments gives the legislature the right to enact suit able tax laws, confers the right of suffrage on women, subjects the judic iary to recall, allowing the state and municipalities to engage in industrial pursuits, and allowing nicipalities to become indebted to not exceeding fifteen per centum of the taxable property.
 Only one of these enactments is being attacked so far by the railroads. that one being the three cent fare bill, the railroads setting up that the fare is inadequate and contiscatory. The cause will be heard in San Francisco some time In January.
 Last Wednesday M. w. Musgrove was called to Boston by wire to at tend to important matters connected with the big power and land project m the Grand Canyon. It is understood that foundation has been laid for the work on this prOJect and that it's com pleton is assured.

advanced to satisfy what IS supposed
to be popular clamor. They are men
who revere the constitution and the In
stitutions of their government with all
the love and respect that we could pos
sibly have, men who deprecate disturb
ance in business conditions and are
yearning for that quiet from dema-
gogic agitation which is essential to
the enjoyment by the whole people Of
the great prosperity which the good
crops and the present conditions ought
to bring us. To them l appeal, as to
all Republicans, to join US in an ear
nest effort to avert the political and
economic revolution and business pa
ralysis which Republican defeat will
bring about. Such misfo rtune will fall
| most heavily on the wage Garner. May
we not hope that he will see what his
real interest is, will understand the
shallowness of attacks upon existing
institutions and deceitful promises of
underlined benefit by underlined changes2
Refers to "Fustisn of Promise"
May we not hope that the great ma
lori. of voters will be able to dlstin-
guish between the substance of per-
Torrance and the fustian Of promise;
that they may be able to see that those
who would deliberately stir up diseon-
tent and create hostility toward those
who are conducting legitimate business
enterprises and who represent the bust
ness progress Of the country are SOW
ing dragons teethf Who are the peo-
pie? They are not alone the unfortu-
nate and the weak; they are the weak
and the strong, the poor and the rich
and the many who are neither, the
wage garner and the capitalist, the
farmer and the professional man, the
merchant and the manufacturer, the
@storekeeper and the clerk, the railroad
manager and the employee-they all
make up the people and they all con-
tribute 70 the running Of the govern
ment, and they have not any Of them
given into the hands OF any one the
mandate to speak for them as peculiar
ly the peoples representative. Espe-
cinlly does not he represent them who,
assuming that the people are the IN
fortunate and discontinued, would stir
them up against the remainder of those
whose government alike this Is. In 9TH
er campaigns before this the American
people have been confused and misled
and diverted from the truth and from
a clear perception Of their welfare by
specious appeals to their prejudice and
their misunderstanding. but the clarity
Ing effect Of a campaign Of education,
The pricking Of the bubbles of dema-
gogic promise which the discussions of
a campaign made possible, have
brought the people to a clear percep-
ton of their own interests and to a re-
lection of the injurious nostrums that
IN the beginning Of the campaign, II
was then feared. they might embrace
and adopt. So may we not expect in
the issues which are now before US
that the ballots cast In November shall
show q prevailing majority In favor Of
sound progress, great prosperity upon
a protective basis and under true con-
stitutional and representative rule by

that the average ad valorem Of the du
table imports under the Dingley bill
was 25.5 per cent, while under tn,
Payne bill it was pol per cent. Ip
other words, considering only reduc-'
tons on dutiable goods, the reduction
In duties from the Dingley bill to the
Payne bill was 10 per cent, and con-
siderlng both free and dutiable reduc-
lions they amounted to 81 per cent.
The Tariff Board.
Under the provisions Of the Payne
bill l was able to appoint a tariff
board to make Investigations into each
schedule with q view to determining
the cost of production here and the
cost of production abroad Of the arti-
cIes named In the schedule In order to
enable congress In adjusting this
schedule to know what rate OF duty
was necessary to prevent a destructive
competition from European countries
and the closing up OF our mills and
other sources of production.
In the making of the Payne bill con-
gress did not have the advantage OF
the report of the tariff board showing
the exact facts. If II had the bill
would have been constructed on a
better basis, but We now have had the
tariff board working, and 1t has made
a report on the production Of wool
and the manufacture Of woolens in
this country and in all the countries
abroad and has given the same data
as to the manufacture Of cotton. II
the Republican party had control Of
the house Of representatives there
would be no difficulty now In passing
a wooden bill such as indeed as has
been proposed by the Republicans In
the house, reducing the duty on wool
and on woolens to such a degree as
not to include more than enough to
enable the wool industry and the wool
en- industry to live and produce q
reasonable profit. The same thing is
true with respect to the cotton indus
try.
On the other hand, our opponents,
the Democrats, have presented to me
for my signature 4 wooden bill and
cotton bill, both Of which If allowed to
become a law, as the reports of the
tariff board show, would have made
such q radical cut in the rates On many
wooden and cotton manufactures as
seriously to interfere with those indus
tries In this country. This would have
forced a transfer of the manufacture
to England and Germany and Other
foreign countries.
Result Of Democratic Success.
II the result Of the election were t.
put the Democrats completely in con
troll Of all branches of the government
then we may lock for the reduction OF
duties upon all those articles the man
ufacture Of which need protection ant
may anticipate a serious injury to
large part Of our manufacturing indus
try. We would not have to wait TO
actual legislation on this subject. Th'
very prospect Of Democratic success
when its policy toward our great pro
tected industries became understood
would postpone indefinitely the comin'

board n to the reduction or cl.t-
which may be necessary to square tie
eates with the facts.
The other method of avoiding danger
Of excessive prices from excessive du-
ties is to enforce the antitrust law
against those who combine to take ad-
vantage of the excessive tariff rates.
This brings me to the discussion of the
Sherman act.
The antitrust law was passed to pro-
vide against the organization and main
tenance of combinations for the man
ufacture and sale of commodities,
which through restraint of t>ld0, either
by contract and agreement or by va
rious methods of unfair competition,
should suppress competition, establish
monopoly and control prices. The
measure has been on the statute books
since 1890, and many times under con-
structon by the courts, but not until
the litigation against the Standard on
company and against the American To-
bacco company reached the supreme
| court did the statute receive an author
! itative construction which Is workable
and Ineligible.
1t Is the custom Of those who find 1t
to their political interest to do so to
sneer at, as ~innocuous, the DEGREES
against the American Tobacco com
pany and the Standard Oil company,
and the administration IS condemned
In the Democratic platform for con-
senting to a compromise in the Stand
ard Oil case. There was no compro-
mise. The Standard on decree was en-
tered BY the circuit court, and then by
the supreme court, on the prayer of the
government contained In the original
bill fled In a previous administration.
Tobacco Case Was Fully Discussed.
The decree in the Tobacco case was
reached after a full discussion and en-
tered by the circuit court, consisting Of
four circuit judges, as a proper decree,
and the government refused to appeal
from 1t because 1t did not feel that ii
had grounds upon which to base such
an appeal. Both DEGREES are working
well, Both DEGREES have introduced
competition, the one into branches OF
the tobacco business n the other into
branches of the oil business. They
have not ~reintroduced ruinous competi
ton, but they have affected certain
prices in such a way as to show the
presence Of real competition.
The division Of the two trusts by the
DEGREES into several companies was no
expected to show immediate rad
change in the business. 1t may TAKE
some years to show all the benefits Of
the dissolution, but the limitations o.
the DEGREES In those two cases are Sc
specific as to make altogether impossi
BILE a resumption of the old combination
against which the DEGREES were en-
tered. Even II experience shall show
the DEGREES to be inadequate, full OPP
portunity in future litigation will bt
afforded to supply the defects.
1 know that In this wide country
there are many who call themselves
Democrats who view with the sam
aversion that we Republicans do thu

form OF government that are reckless.

of prosperity and tend to give us a re-
currence Of the hard times that we had
In the decade between 1890 and 1897.
The Democratic platform declares
protection to be unconstitutional, al
though it has been the motive and pur-
pose Of most tariff bills since 1889, and
indicates as clearly as possible the In.
tention to depart from a protective
policy at once. 1t is true the Demo
cratic platform says that the change to
the policy Of a revenue tariff is to be
industry. This Is utterly impossible
when we are on a protective basis, and
1t is conclusively shown to be so by the
necessary effect Of bills already intro
duced and passed by the Democratic
house for the purpose Of making strides
toward a revenue tariff.
Cost Of Living and Payne Law.
The statement has been widely circu-
lated and has received considerable
support from political opponents that
the tariff act of 1909 Is a prominent fac
tor In creating the high cost Of living.

ton will show that the phenomenon
Of increased prices and cost Of living
is world wide In Its extent and quite
as much in evidence In other countries
Of advanced civilization and progress
stve tendencies as In our w
Bitter complaints of the burden Of
Increased prices and cost Of living
have been made not only In this coun-
try, but even In countries Of Asia and
Africa. Disorder and even riots have
occurred In several European cities be-
cause Of the unprecedented cost Of
food products. In Jul w country
changes have been manifested without
regard to lower or higher duties in the
tariff act Of 1909. Indeed, the most
notable increase in prices has been In
the case OF products where 40 duties
are imposed, and In some instances
in which they were diminished or re.
moved by tho recent tariff act.
Efsot Of Excessive Tariff.
There is one respect in which high
tariff rates may make for %e1Orbitani
prices. II the rate is higher than the
difference between the cost of produc
ton here and abroad, then 1t tempts
the manufacturers of this country to
secure monopoly Of the industry and
to increase its price as far as the ex,
cessive tariff will permit. The danger
may be avoided In two ways: First
by carefully adjusting the tariff on
articles needing protection, 80 that the
manufacturer secures only enough pro
lection to pay the scale Of high wages
which obtains and ought to obtain II
this country and secure a reasonable
profit from the business. This may be
done by the continuance of the tariff
boards investigation into the facts
which Will enable congress and the
people to know what the tariff as tt
each schedule ought to be. The Amer
lean public may rest assured tina
