JOYOUS AUTUMN.

JSA AS00 1S4 SNAN.
Summer hours have fed away,
And the crispy Autumn day
Enters on the scene.
Birds will soon begin to pack
For the joyous journey back
Der the fower-scented track
To the southland green.
Chill of Autumn looms ahead,
And the blossoms all have sped,
But the skies are blue;
And our smiling mother Earth
Honoring the harvest's birth
Is a scene of gladstone mirth
Gorgeous to the view.
Color reigneth everywhere.
Garlands dark, and garlands fair,
Decorate the ways,
And each leaf upon the trees
Flung like banners to the breeze
Bids US joy in living these
Blest Autumnal days.

1t is an appeal to the party
that has been the historic
champion of a strong central
government to forsake its time
honored doctrine. Root does
not want a strong government
at Washington because he fears
such a government will con-
troll big business too firmly
and rule the country in behalf
of the people. He prefers an
enfeebled central administra-
ton so that big business may
be the master not the mastered.
The Union League which in
the days of the civil war upheld
the north and the cause of a
strong federal government ac-
quiesces in the views of the
New York senator and gives
him the same sort of a gold
medal it once bestowed upon
Lincoln.
The democratic party which
in the past has always been
known as the champion of
state rights is under the pres
ent administration the advocate
of a more powerful central
government. The plain pur-
pose of President Wilson is to
have the government of the
nation administered from
Washington not from New
York city.
This is an era in which peo-
Pile should do some thinking.

names without question may

THE SUREST WAY TO RE-
DUCE TAXES.

q ONE people shudder over
80 proposed road work be-
. cause of fear of higher
taxes. For such people here
are a few facts worth consider
ing. The amount paid by the
people of this county each year
to railroads in freight charges
vastly exceeds all our state,
county, city and school taxes
combined.
The state and county levy in
Umatilla county this year is
eight mills and the assessment
is S49,000,000. The state and
county levy will produce a
revenue of S392,OO0 in round
figures.
The wheat crop of Umatilla
county is usually estimated at
100000 bushels and the
freight to Portland is eight and
a fourth cents. Such a charge
nets a total of S412,500 per an
mum. In other words the trans
portation tax on wheat alone is
greater than the state and
county tax imposed in Umatilla
county.
It is true throughout the ma
ton that the transportation
tax exceeds all other taxes
whatsoever. The census bu-
reau statistics show that for
the year 1902 the total revenue
receipts of the federal govern
ment, the states, territories,
counties, cities and all other
minor civil divisions totalled
S1,791,895,522, whereas the
freight charges made by all
the railroads at that time to-
tailed $1,922,703,890. So it
may be seen the railroad
charges exceeded all United
States taxes combined to the
extent of S130,8OS, ,374 in one
year.
Now then, if we wish to re-
duce taxes how can we work
more effectively than by re-
ducing freight costs? 1t is the
heaviest tax Of all. If by con-
Meeting up the various por-
tions of this county with the
open river we can reduce the
grain rate by half and other
freight charges in proportion is
it not sound business to do so?
This is a subject for our "hard
headed businessmen" to ponder
over.

CURRENT THINKING
OUR MARKET ABROAD.

II is cheering to note that our bus.
iress abroad has grown so great that
the balance OF trade is again in our
favor. We have a market that com
mands the attention of customers.
Many of them find now that they
must deal with us or go without.
Holding the balance of trade Is a
wonderful advantage and spells pros
perity with a big "P."
The trade balance is best shown
by the figures of the last three
months. Our customers have bought
from us $411.4S3,O 900 more than we
have bought from them. The fig
ures are of tremendous Importance,
and is sustained for a period of 70
months would reach the enormous to-
tai of s1,645,S32, 900,
What new opportunities are offer
ed our merchants farmers and man
ufacturers. How many new custom
ers are now enjoying the bargains
available in our markets. Conditions
may have forced Europeans to make
their purchases here, but fair trade
and honest measure will hold many
of them long after the war is over.
While the belligerents are busy at
their work OF desolation and murder,
our men of enterprise and progress
have the world to feed. clothe and
shelter. They can place Yankee goods
Yankee inventions. Yankee food pro-
ducts. Yankee machinery on the
counters wherever business is done.

AMERICAS STRONG PO-
SITION.

m HE activity in the New
W York stock market is not
likely based on any the
ory of early peace because
there is little in the situation at
present to justify any belief in
a speedy end of the war. A
more reasonable view to take
is that the stock market is
strengthened by the splendid
condition of American finance
and the knowledge that our
business conditions are sound.
The following extract from
the Henry Clews review for
March 20 is of interest:
The most striking, also the
most assuring, fact in the out
look is the remarkably strong
financial position of the United
States. Our fiscal affairs are
thoroughly mobilized upon a
war basis. Nearly all the en-
ergency currency issued in the
form of Aldrich- -Vreeland notes
or clearing house certificates
has been retired. Our banking
system is exceptionally strong;
and the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn, with minor exceptions, is
working very satisfactorily.
Our gold supply is simply en-
ormous, reaching about ST.
800,000,000, which is vastly
more than necessary for our
requirements. There is conse-
quently no need of our import
ing gold, although foreign ex-
change rates favor such an in
flux. Our merchandise exports
are upon an enormous scale,
and promise to so continue for
months to come. AS imports
are declining, the trade bal
ance in our favor is steadily ris-
ing. To some extent, the void
in imports is being filled by a
return to securities; but much
of the balance remains on this
side in the form of foreign
credits which are steadily
growing in Importance and vol
ume. New York for the time
being is the chief open market
in the world, and all, or nearly
all, of the belligerents have es-
tablished large credits in this
market to be used chiefly for
the purchase of munitions of
war. Until the war ends, a con-
tingency unhappily not yet in
sight, this situation will prob
ably be maintained. The war
is still the dominating influence
in our financial affairs, and the
United States is the only coun-
try thus far receiving any off
setting advantage whatever
from the staggering waste of
life and property now devast-
ating Europe. Spring has ar
rived and the struggle will now
be waged with renewed bit
terness and vigor; no end be-
ing in sight at this writing, ex-
cept such as must develop from
exhaustion or breakdown.
