 According to the bulletin of the fed eral bureau of labor the average price of A dozen or more of the principal ar ticles of food has increased 50 per cent in the last ten years.
 The price of flour has increased 39 per cent, lard 55 per cent, steak 59 per cent, hams 61 per cent, cornmeal 63 per cent, rib roast 63 per cent, round steak S4 per cent, pork chops s6 per cent, bacon 96 per cent, and Irish potatoes II per cent.
 During these ten years of rising nrices Roosevelt and Taft were at the head of the government Both of them want to be at the head of the govern ment again.
 Does any sane man believe that if these men in ten years did nothing to retard the rise of prices which are expressing the people they would do anything in four years? Rather, judg- ing by the past, we should be paying approximately 25 per cent. more than we do now, or 75 per cent. more than we did ten years ago.

WHY NOT ELECT
 WOODROW WILSON
Chicago Post, Influential Repub- Iican Paper, Asks Its Read
 CTS a Leading Question.
FRAUDS OF PRESENT REGIME
Says the Tariff Has Been Too High for Generation, and Must Be Low cred.

The Chicago Post, an influential in dependent Republican newspaper, pro- pounds this question to Republicans:
 'sWhy not Wilson?
 This question is addressed particu- larly to Republicans.
 Governor Wilson suits the Demo- crats down to the ground, suits all Democrats who are worthy to be call ed Democrats. But in an emergency like this, why should not Wilson suit a large part of the Republicans as well?
 Why not Wilson? s-s
 Governor Wilson is thoroughbred American gentleman not only in the accident of birth, but in his every ideal, impulse and principle. That should be the first requirement. of .ev- cry presidential candidate. -.
 Governor Wilson is a. tried and trustworthy executive. His brilliant record as governor of New. Jersey proves that. Fl.
 Governor Wilson is an eminently sane and sensible man. He Is an eIni-. neNaiy honorable man. He has digni- fed every place which he has held. He has performed a splendid public service by lifting. the present cam paign out of the riot of mudslinging with which Roosevelt began it..
 Tn every personal characteristic, Governor Wilson is equipped to be any mans president. without regard to whether that man is Democrat or a Republican. What, then, of his po- litical qualifications?
 Governor Wilson is, and always has been, a sensible Democrat, but he is not and never has been a silly, violent partisan.
 Governor Wilson stands for honesty and efficiency in federal administra- tion. So do all save those who profit by graft and ineflciency.
 Governor Wilson stands for the curbing of trusts and monopolies. So do all, except monopolists and their de fender, Theodore Roosevelt
 Governor Wilson stands for a prompt and steady downward revision of the tariff. So do nine-tenths of the people of the United States.
 Governor Wilson believes in a more radical tariff revision than do a large number of the rank and file of Re publicans. But Governor Wilson is the only candidate who if elected will permit the revision of the tariff at all
 "The tariff has been to high for a generation. Is it not better to take a chance at getting it too low-according to Republican standardization to let the known frauds of the present re- gime continue for another four years to rob the public?
 Why not Wilson? He will give an honest, digniffed, capable admins tration. He will respect the constitu- tion. He will see that the tariff is re- vised downward. He will curb trusts He will serve the people.
 Why not Wilson,"
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1912-11-01

There should be an immediate reyi- sion of the tariff downward It should begin with the schedules most obvious ly used to kill competition and raise prices in the United States, and should be extended to every item which af- lords opportunity for monopoly and special advantage until special favors shall have been absolutely withdrawn and our laws of taxation transformed from a system of governmental pat ronage into a system of just and req sonable charges which shall fall where they will create the least burden.

CAMPAIGN MUD
 ANGERS VETERAN
"Comrade" Editors Effort to Distort Democratic Position
 on Pensions Rebuked.
CIRCULAR TO G. A. R. POSTS
Sought "Mean" and "Harsh" Ex- pressions by Wilson Supporters, but Finds Facts the Reverse.

Ignoring the fact that the Democrat ic house passed the most liberal pen sion bill in the history of the United States and that it was the Republican senate that reduced the appropriation the editor of the National Tribune of Washington has appealed to grand army posts all over the country to sup ply campaign material for use against the Democratic party.
 Colonel (Sergeant) John McElroy, the editor,~ has not met always with the cooperation he desired This is evi- denced by the fact that indignant grand army men have forwarded his circular letters to Democratic national headquarters in New York with their protests against the playing of such politics within the old soldiers organ ization.
 Quest for Mean" Things.
 Editor McElroy's appeal was sent out, mimecgraphed, on the letterhead of the National Tribune, with his own name at the top. The letter read;
 = = Sept 13. 1912. Comrade-We are anxious to get the ex- pression of editorials on pensions from the papers supporting Wilson in your
 
 the files of your local papers and send us anything particularly harsh and mean which they have published. We want to show conclusively the attitude of the men who are supporting Wilson and who will control his administration if elected. Please send these at your earliest con venience. as the time is short. F'raternal- ly, THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
 One of the replies sent to the Trib- une was:
 Headquarters Cushing Post. No. IA. G. A. R.
 Astoria. Ore, Sept. s2S. 1912 National Tribune, Washington, D. G.: s Gentlemen - Your. communication ad- dressed to me as adtutant of Cushing Post Mo- IA, of the 17th inst. I found to- day on my return from the national en- campment at Los Angeles, Cal. Thus the delay in answering.
 You wish me to look over the files of our local papers and send you anything particularly harsh and mean which they have published regarding pensions. As you have specified that these .'harsh'' and mean comments must be from pa pers supporting Wilson I must inform you that the papers supporting Wilson throughout the state, so far as I have been able to learn, are friendly toward the interests of the civil war veterans and 'indorse the action of the Democratic house of the United States congress in its massage of the pension bill in the special and last session Of congress and have no fault to find with Senator Kern for his eloquent appeal in the senate in behalf of the civil war veterans
 If YOU are really looking for mean and .sharsh" editorials along this line. if. your object in this search is for the in terests of the old soldiers. you will find enough mean" and "harsh" things in tbe napers that are supporting MT. Taft. And if you wish to prospect away out here in oregon Cpolitically) for other than nl1re gold please excuse the adjutant of Cushing Post. No. fl, department of Ore gon. G. A. R., in assisting.

FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING

John D. Archbold, for the Standard Oil company, gave $1O0.O0O to Roose- velt's campaign fund in 1904 but re- fused to prosecute the harvester trust more, which was demanded
 J. P. Morgan of the steel trust and other interests gave the Roosevelt fund in the same year S1OO.O0O, and did give up S50,000 more.
 MT. Roosevelt furiously prosecuted the Standard Oil company, but he re- fused to prosecute the harvester trust and the steel trust and gave the steel trust permission to absorb it's only se- rious rival.
 George w. Perkins of the steel and harvester trusts gave $48,000 of the New York Life Insurance company's money to Roosevelt's campaign fund, and refunded it when the fact became public.

Cities must help pay for the i'm

county surrounding them. The supreme
court denied a writ of mandamus
against the county treasurer of Lyon
county asked for by the city of En-
poria to compel the county to pay TO
the city the money collected for road
purposes as taxes on city p 7erty.
Lyon county decided to spend $35, 900
this year on good roads, and levied
tax to raise the money under the law
enacted by the 1911 legislature. The
property in the city of Emporia was
taxed $1,000 for good roads purposes.
The city thought that this money
ought TO be used in improving it's
streets leading to the roads which the
county would improve and the city
brought suit in the supreme court
that this money should be given to the
city to be used in street Improvement.
