TO SOLVE THE TARIFF PROBLEM

The National Chamber of Commerce
made a procurement on the subject
of the tariff. A business body natur-
ally concerned itself with a business
topic. What is called a tariff com
mission-a tribunal to report to Con-
gress-was favored, and the sonstitu-
ent bodies of the national body are
asked for expressions on the subject.
1t is to be hoped, however, that the
matter may be canvassed more clearly
this time than several years ago, when
at a national convention of American
manufacturers held at indianapolis it
was proposed that tariff making be
taken out of the hands of Congress
and given into those of a commission
of experts. Congress it was solemn
ly declared, lacked the knowledge
essential to schedule-making and rate
fixing, and should surrender that func-
ton to a tribunal of business men in
every way competent to deal with it.
Evidently the authors of that de-
liveranee lacked knowledge them
selves. They did not know that Con-
gress could not if it would, and would
not if it could, divest itself of the
taxing power, which is the greatest
power it exercises. The power of tax
alton is the power of life and death
in the business world, and for that
reason was invested by the constitu-
ton in Congress, the body chosen by
the people to act for all people, pro-
ducers and consumers.
For better or for worse, therefore,
tariff-making is with Congress, and
must remain with Congress. If more
and better light is necessary to an inn
proved execution of the task by that
body, let it be provided. But the pow
er to act, either with light or in dark
ness, will still be with Congress.
And so a better remedy than a tar
if commission might be more business
men in Congress. Let more men of
business light and leading be invested
with power, not to gather statistics,
and compile them and comment on
them in a report to Congress, but to
legislate on statistics. Information
sufficient to construct a tariff bill is
abundant, and may be easily gathered.
The point always is, and always will
be, as to it's value in the eyes of those
charged with the duty of passing
on 1t.
The Underwood tariff revision now
on the stocks will be appraisable when
it takes the water, not on the score of
whether the builders had timber
enough, but what selection was made
of the timber at hand. If this ship
sinks it will be for something of the
same reason that carried the German
Wilson ship to the bottom nearly
twenty years ago-a job botched in

COMFORTING WORDS
Many a Winnemucca Household Will

To have the pains and aches of a
back removed-to be entirely free
from annoying, dangerous urinary dis
orders, is enough to make any kidney

prove comforting words to hundreds
OF W~innemucca readers.

OPP MINE TO START.
New Machinery TO Handle Tailings
Will be Installed.

Jacksonville, April live are re-
liably informed that within a short
time, probably three or four weeks,
activities will be resumed at the Opp
mine near this city. Thursday OF
this week an agreement was reached
whereby a party of responsible and
practical mining men will work the
tailings from the mill, which carry a
quantity of gold. AS the old cyanide
process of extracting the gold from
these tailings has not proven. entirely
satisfactory in the past, it is proposed
to institute a new method which it
is believed will simplify the process
and yield greater returns. To this
end new machinery has been ordered
and will arrive and be installed at
the mine in the near future.
The Opp mine, which is known as
one of the richest propositions in
southern Oregon, has been closed
down for some time, but it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that a short time will
see it running with a full crew of
men.

AN OLD MAN Is MISSING
J. A. KLEIN Disappeared From Home
of His Daughter, Mrs. +. +.
Walters, Recently.

The family of F. E. Walters of this
city are badly worried over the con-
tinued absence of Mrs. Walters faith
Ell, j. A. Klein, who disappeared
from their home in this city couple
of weeks ago. Mr.. Klein is about 80
years of age and somewhat eccentric,
being in the habit of leaving wher-
ever he happened to be stopping very
suddenly and without explanation.
About two weeks ago he received two
or three letters, whose origin are not
known, but they seemed to disturb
him considerably, and he left soon
after. Relatives at Los Angeles and
other places have been notified, but
so far no one has heard from him.
Usually he would take his clothing
and grips with him when making a
sudden change of location, but did
not in this instance. He is thought
to have had about $40 with him
when he disappeared. His son-in-
law, F. E. Walters, is an operator at
the S. P. station and resides at 443
Allison street.

Sacramento, Cal, April 12.-The
final draft of the anti-alien land law
as adopted by the senate this after
noon and will come up in the house

hold or acquire land in California,
except that any alien resident or nom
resident may receive may receive by
purchase, devise or descent title to

rule applies to corporations owned by
aliens as to the individuals.

period of over three years. but such
a lease may be renewed for a period
of another three years. The bill con-

Desire for EATS" Lands Lad i'm Jail
For Burglarizing Restaurant
Near Depot.

A desire for good things to eat was
the cause of the downfall of Fred
Huffman, 16-year-old lad who gives
his residence as Detroit, Mich. On
Saturday night the restaurant being
fitted up by j. c. Perrine, just back
of the depot in this city, was bur-
glarized. Chief Oien rounded up
lad who looked well fed and whose
pockets were bulging. Upon search
he was found to be loaded, and also
gave up the location of a cache of
provisions under the building which
had been robbed. The goods taken
consisted of nine pies, two cans Car
nation cream, one can peas, box of
sfancy cookies, three boxes of marsh
mallows, several packages Fatima ci-
garettes, dozen packages of smok-
ing tobacco and a box OF chewing
gum. Five of the pies were recov-
cred, he having eaten four the can
of peas and a goodly portion of the
gum and cigarettes having been con-
sumed. Chief Oien took him to-
Jacksonville today and turned him
over the the mercies of Judge Tou
Velle's juvenile court.

BRITISH LIKE THE new TARIFF BILL
COMMENT OF ENGLISH PRESS EXPRESSES BELIEF THAT THEY Will
PROFIT MUCH BY TARIFF REDUCTIONS

Britain. The freeing of American
trade cannot be at the Americans
expense, but the stimulus given py 1t
to world production must be greatest
of all in the United States ITSELF
The Daily News describes the bill
as a shattering attack upon the
whole fabric of protection, the heav-
lest blow which protection has re-
ceived since Peel established free
trade in England seventy years ago.
Canada Likes the bill.
Montral, April 11.-Retail prices
on many products in Canada will be
increased, but trade generally will
receive an impetus If the democratic
tariff-revision measure reducing the
rates on many things which Canada
exports to the United States and re-
moving entirely the duty on many
others is passed, according to opin-
ions expressed today by Montreal
business men, by lumber dealers,
pulp men, fish exporters, produce
dealers, cattle men and others.
An increase in prices for lumber
is predicted if the bill is passed, also
stimulation of Canadian pulp man
ufacture and renewed activity of the
fishing industry in the maritime
provinces. 1t is believed that wool
en- manufacturers also will benefit.
1t is also believed that increased de-
mands should come from the United
States for apples, milk and cream,
although butter will not be so much
affected, as free milk and cream will
permit Americans to make their own
butter.
Placing meats on the free list, with
a duty on cattle, Canadian packers
believe, will result in Canadian COM
petition with American packers.

AN ASHLAND HOME FOR old LADIES?
THAT'S The QUESTION DESERVING READY ANSWER COMMERCIAL
CLUB WILL SERIOUSLY CONSIDER IT

Chaperoned by Mr.. F. w. Moore,
Messrs. Gowdy, Gilmore and B. r.
Greer were engaged last Thurs
day afternoon in interviewing
Mrs. Mary Macomber of 1919 Meade
street, this city, in the interest of
a proposed home for aged ladies.
The committee was most cordially
received by Mrs. Macomber, who is
wholly and enthusiastically devoted
to the project in view, and the Wis
itors were not little moved by the
self-sacrificing spirit manifested by
the fair donor in giving practical ef-
feet to a scheme in benefiting those
of her sex who, outside the pale of
Sweet charity" desire, by contrib
uting their quota towards the gen.
eral expense, the comforts and privi-
leges of a genuine home. Besides
the splendidly situated property on
Meade street, Mrs. Macomber pro-
poses placing Portland and other
property on the market to encompass
her ends; and there is little doubt
that, properly handled, as it would
certainly be under the auspices of
the Ashland Commercial Club, the
institution would soon become a YER
ity. 1t is thought that both state
and county assistance could be Sc
cured in furnishing additional
means for the support Of so worthy
an undertaking, while to Ashland
would fall the distinction OF provid-
ing the finest loction to be found,
perhaps, anywhere on the entire Pa
cific coast country, for home that,
eventually, may attain a national
reputation.
To add to the structure on Meade
street some 20 or 80 rooms for the
accommodation of as many inmates
> would be good beginning. while the
idea of unity and symmetry of de-
sign in building, in relation to future
development of the property, could
always be consistently maintained.

WILSON TO TAKE FIGHT TO PEOPLE
PRESIDENT WILL STAND FOR TARIFF IDEAS AND CARRY FIGHT BE-
FORE PEOPLE ACCORDING TO REPORTS FROM WASHINGTON

Washington, April 12.-President
Wilson is standing pat on free sugar
and wool.
The crisis in the tariff fight was
reached today and the house and SEN
ate committees found the president
ready to carry the fight to the peo-
pie.
The United Press today is able to
present, in part, President Wilson's
tariff views, as he sketc'led them
during the campaign, as he eXpound-
ed them to congressional leaders and
as he expects to urge them in a di-
rect appeal to the people if forced to
that course.
Presidents Final Word.
What the people put on their
backs and into their stomachs must
be made cheap, no matter who suf-
fers," is President Wilson's final
word to the financiers. He insists
that the idea that the passage of the
proposed tariff bill would be disas-
trous to the country is most false.
President Wilson referred his call
ers to his frequently uttered views
on this subject and said:
II am always afraid that the busi-
ness men who are so uneasy have
something to be uneasy about. The
American people are taking notice in
a way they never took notice before
and gentlemen who are talking one
way and voting another are going to
be retired to quiet aud private
life."
The president sees no reason to
compromise on the tariff bill. He
believes the people will support him
and that he can compel an adjust
ment of the tariff. He directed at
tention to the position he took when
1t was charged that low tariff would
hit the farmer and said:
Farmer Never Protected.
"The American farmer never has
been protected because he never

place. within its walls, and the wor-
thy Instrument of providing happy
homes not only for those who have
reached the autumn of life, but of
orphans unfortunate enough to be
deprived of mothers care,
1t now devolves upon Ashland, led
by the enthusiastic endeayor of the
Commercial Club, to see that Mrs.
Macomber's project takes such deep
root in our midst as to abundantly
bless and benefit the community at
large. If this project can be success
fully launched no one will better de-
serve the consoling and comforting
thought contained in the words,
well done, thou good and faithful
servant" than Mrs. Macomber, the
optimistic and self-sacrlficing SER
want of Ashland.
1t should perhaps be stated that
it is the aim of the protector that
in the Home for Aged Ladies" in
Ashland there should be no religious
test in the sense of denominational-
ism in entrance, but that the closest
scrutiny would be maintained as to
the moral and personal bearing of
the applicants.
When under way, the government
of the institution, with the assistance
of a matron, should be entrusted en-
tirely to well-chosen body of
trustees.
