4 FARMERS VIEW.

From many sides comes signs OF a
fundamentally changing point of
siew. These words were printed as
ed address of C. B. Kegley, master
OF the Washington State Grange in
the "Western Farmer" of Spokane,
Washington:
make no mistake-We are face to
face with the entire removal of the
protective tariff from farm products.
IN. Fly Judgment, there is no escape
Erum this conclusion, and the thing
for us to do it to meet the issue fair
ly and squarely.
AS a system. protection is doomed.
If we, as farmers, stand for it, we
shall lose our share, and the public
believing that it has secured relief
from the burden of living cost, will
stop there, causing whatever of loss
sccurs to fall upon the farmer. Con-
seuuently the businesslike course
open is for the farmers to fight, not
to continue the system, but to smash
it! Fight, not to hold his own ques-
sionable benefits of tariff on grain
md livestock and wool, but to strip
She coats of privilege off the back of
avery business engaged in supplying
the aecessaries of life. The time
W cure the whole diseased system
has come and the proper medicine is
the az. Let us stand steadfast to
this: and appeal to farmers every
where to join us and wipe every tar
lff privilege off the statute books
now and forever
If this is correct, a good many SEN
1tors have been wasting time at
washington in their defense of pro-
lection for the embattled farmer

Alexander M. Dockery, third as
sistant postmaster general, is work
ing on plan to make postal money
orders payable anywhere instead OF
on specific Offices as at present. He
believes that with such an arrange
ment in force the money order sys-
tenn of the service would be much
more popular. Such a plan would
place postal money orders on much
the same basis as bank drafts. Hold
ers of such orders would have to be
properly identified and the system
would be safeguarded in every pos
sible way.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR FUTURE

Evidences of reviving commercial
and industrial activity steadily null
tiply, and business optimism is be-
coming widespread This spirit Of
confidence finds a reflection in the
more general anticipation of future
requirements. and, since merchan-
disc stocks at all leading points must
be replenished, prospects are en-
couraging for satisfactory fall and
winter season. The restrictive in
Euence of tariff revision is somewhat
less manifest and the expansion in
trade is facilitated by the improved
monetary situation, increasing pre-
parations for remote needs being
stimulated by the broader absorption
of commercial paper at lower rates.

''Th's is quite fruit country but
the markets are not very good.
There is also lots of hops raised
and at present everybody and their
families are out picking hops.
"Prune picking will begin in a
week or so and will last about two
weeks. Then everybody comes
home and settles down for the
rainv season.
Land is very high in price

Dodges the Issue

1t is laughable to note how the
Sentinel sauirms and lodges the
issue when cornered. For political
purposes or otherwise the Sentinel
tried to make the taxpayers of Lin
coin county believe that they were
paying approximately the same
State Tax as We're the people of
our neighboring county. Benton,
and that the same was not just and
fair. When we quoted figures CIV
ing the actual amount paid per
acre in each county. and showing
that Benton county land paid nearly
three times as much State Tax per
acre as Lincoln, they drew in their
horns. so to speak, lodged the issue,
switched the subject. They could
not deny the figures so then they
claimed that our valuations we're
too high. anyway. Well. now that
is purely matter of opinion One
person can claim they are too high,
another can claim they are too low,
that does not prove anything. The
law says the assessor shall assess
property at full valve. and we pre-
sumo that is what he is trying to
do. Anyone who thinks that their
valation is placed too high. can go
before the County Board of Equal
ization and if their claim is just
and the valation is placed too high
the same will be remedied.
Another thing, SO long as our
valuations are uniform. and SO long
as we are not called upon to nay an
unjust proportion of the state tax
it would make no difference if the
valuations were doubled, as in that
event the leyies would be cut in
half. and outside Of the state tax
the money is all spent in the county
anyway.
In order to divert the readers
mind from the question at issue the
Sentinel also repeatedly refers to
the hidden editor Of the Leader.
Now. this was meant as an insult.
pure and simple, nothing more, and
was aimed at US because we had
called their bluff and made them
show their hand.
Now. undoubtedly there was a
reason for the Sentinel's action in
this matter. Perhaps the editor
had some end in view. But as tc
what it was we do not know and
would not attempt to say. 1t ha:
been rumored that the editor Of
the Sentienl still has an ambition
to be judge of Lincoln county. II
such is the case these articles may
have been published with the ides
of creating a favorable imprt ssior
on the voters. as it is a wei
known fact that all voters are
greatly interested in matters per.
tanning to taxation.
But when man poses for politi
cal or other purposes he should keer
a close tab on himself and be con
sistent above all things. For in
stance. when he helps determine
Values for the information of the
State Tax Commission and ther
attacks the assessor on the matter
of valuations. he should be careful
what he says.

faction to you to know that in spite of
the fact that you were speaking on the
same day with Colonel Roosevelt and
Senator Beveridge, and on the hottest
day we have had this summer, and
the last speaker of the day, | have
been told by many that what you said,
and the way you put it about the situ-
alton In the South was the most illn
miuaung thing thatwas nethatday.
Many of those born in this part of
the country do not understand the sit
nation in the South and it is vitality
important that they should and your
explanation of 1t was to my mind ex-
tremely clear and will do an endless
amount of good because the Progress
sive Service intends later to have all
the speeches delivered at this confer
ence printed and used throughout the
