ONE RESULT OF THE TITANIC
DISASTER.

A very important result of the
wrecking OF the Titanic last
spring is the statioring of YES

This lookout ship will patrol
the ocean north of the usual rou-
ties and will watch the ice and re-
port its movements. The ship is
equipped with wireless apparat-
us so powerful that she will be in
constant communication with

There will he three scientists to
make the observations, The

Measuring Hay.

An effective rule for calculating
the weight of hay in the stack is
the tollowing:-
Measure the length, width, and
over. Subtract the width from
the over and divide by two. for
the helght of the stack; then null
tiply the length by the width and
this product by the height, and
then divide by he number OF feet
you agree upon AS being a ton.
The number Of cubit feet per ton
will depend upon the amount of
setting, also the kind of hay.

SUGAR AND WOOL.
TARIFF.

1t is proposed to reduce the
tariff on raw sugar to one cent
per pound, and at the end OF
three years to put it on the free
list.
President Wilson tavors this
proposition as he claims to see a
direct relationship between pro-
tected sugar and the present high
price OF that commodity.
1t appears to us that the beet
sugar industry will suffer on a
free trade basis. We are produc.
ing over six hundred thousand
tons of beet sugar annually; and
1t is source of great revenue to
the western farmer; but with free
sugar from the West Indies and
other tropical countries, we look
for great falling off in this in
dustry. We cannot compete with
the low cost of production.
The wool industry is threaten.
ed with destruction by the plac-
ing OF wool on the free list.
Advocates of free wool claim
that there has been a great in
crease in the value of woods in
Europe amounting to from SO to
80 per cent in the last decade,
and that our domestic woods
have not increased over ten per
cent IN the same period, SO that
they predict that the wool is
placed on free trade basis, that
the wool growers of the United
States will feel no evil results.
But the free traders are not in
complete control of the situation
They are meeting with great
opposition from the western
members of the House and Sen
ate who favor protection on
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1913-05-02

wool and sugar regardless OF
party Civilizations.
We trust that two of our gre t
industries will not be sacrificed
on the altar of free trade, They
are too great, and mean too
much to our country, to be killed
of by tariff theorists. We are a
practical people, and we know
that under protection the Ameri
can manufacturer and the Amer.
lcan laborer have tlourished: and
our farmers have prospered
greatly.
According to our last census,
there were in the United States
over half million wool growers
and over ftty-two millions of
sheep. The value of the sheep
was placed at S232 100000.
This amount together with the
equipment and lands required to
conduct this business amount to
35O,OOO,OOO.OO more, making
total of over $5SO,OOO.OOO.O 90
invested in this business,
Over 100000 acres are planted
to sugar cane in louisiana alone
and many hundreds softhousands
OF acres in the western states are
planted to sugar beets.
Hundreds OF millions of dollars
are tied up in the. sugar industry
OF the United States. 1t is a ben
eht to growers, manufacturers
and consumers. All of these are
securing actual prosperity under
projections; while the tariff tbeor
lists can offer nothing but vague
hypothesis OF what good may re.
suit from putting sugar and wool
on the free list.

New Law of
Registration.
ONE REGISTRATION AND REGULAR
VOTING.

Idaho voters are to have relief
from lncessant registrations at
least, and this is important if one
may judge from the number of
complaints made in Boise in the
past month. Many voters who
were positive that they had vot-
ed at the previous election, and
that they were properly register
ed, discovered on going to the
polls their names were not on the
list.
A II this will be changed under
the new law which will be in eff
ect on and after May 10th. Un.
der this law if a voter registeres
once he need never register again
until he tails to vote atsome gen
eral election. When he so fails,
his name is Immediately dropped
from the list and to all intents
and purposes he is dead man
until he re-registers.
All registrars are abolished bv
this new law. Registration for
all, other than city elections, will
be done by the clerk of the dist
rict court, the justice of the peace
or a notary public, and hese Off
Gals will be required to register
voters on any business day of the
year up to within 80 days of the
election,
All registered voters are report
ed regularly to the clerk of the
district court, That official must
make out lists for each precinct,
and these lists must be full and
accurate lists OF all the persons
entitled to vote in the respective
precincts,

May 10Th. AT that time all the
old registrars viii go out ofoffice
automatically and it will be the
duty of the officials named IN the
law to look after registrations.
Should any voter die. move
away or fail to vote, his name is
dropped from the list and to have
1t reinstated he must register
again,
