Announcement is made that rural

This route as planned goes south from

governor, killed the local option
bill which he had promised, and

ragged the rights of the people

In contrast to this spectacle of

American exports have reached
the highest point in history.
Producers are receiving top
notch prices for all they can pro-
duce. During the last month the
activities of the New York stock
market reached their climax in
years. Our balance of trade is
enormous, and growing. This
nation is not at war, and not
likely to go to war. A demo-
cratic administration is using the
governmental machinery for the
benefit of the common people of

the panic periods permitted by
previous administrations, and the

Senator Poindexter announces
the receipt of a letter from the
assistant secretary of the inter-
ior, in which the statement is
made that it is not desired to
open the Colville reservation at
this time, nor until congress
passes additional legislation to
protect the Indians and their
possession and use of the natural
resources of their reservation.
According to this report, the res
ervation may not be opened for
years to come, which comes as a
distinct disappointment to the
people of six counties in north
east Washington.
For a number of years it has
been urged by this section that
the reservation be opened, and
in justice to the congressman
and senators from this state it
should be said that they have
apparently used their efforts to
secure the opening-but in vain.
There is only one hope left
Congressman c. G. Dill, the first
congressman from this present
fifth district, and a supporter of
the administration.
Republican congressman were
unable to secure any result from
republican administration. Re-
publican congressman were un-
able to secure any result from a
democratic administration. 1t is
certain that Mr., Dill will take
up the matter in which the
others have failed, for his dis
trict wants the reservation open
ed. and he is sent to Washington
to represent his constituents. If
he can bring results, it will fur
ther justify the confidence re-
posed in him by the voters. If
he fails, it will be up to the ad-
ministration to give a mighty
plausible reason for retarding
the growth of so great and fer
tile a region as the millionaire
scope of the Colville reservation.
The financial magnates of the
country who made millions out of
the panics of 1893 and 1907 can
afford to spend considerable
money in trying to bring back a
high tariff and the old conditions.
But the mass of the people who
did NOT make money from these
panics what about them?
The Mckinley high tariff was
in force in 1893, and the Payne
Aldrich high tariff was in force
in 1907. In 1914. when there
was a legitimate cause for a
financial upheaval by reason of
the great European embroglio,
there was no panic under low
tariff, but on the contrary all
products of the farm and field
were salable at good prices, and
are today salable. There are no
corners on grains or meats and
little chance for che actual pro-
ducers to have their profits stolen
from them by eastern manipula-
tors.
