1t is a favorite argument by
those who uphold the war revenua
measures that the European war
has cut off imports and thus rob
bed us Of import duties, and this
deficiency must be made up by
stamp taxes, inheritance taxes etc.
according to figures given by the
American Economist, our imports
are increasing rather than aimi.
nisbing, but the trouble is that ull-
der our present tariff laws about
1919 of our imports are admitted
free. With imports for the past
year ag%gregating 81, $780, 43, 229 90
there seems to be- no reason why,
With q suitable tariff, we should
not be able to raise sufficient rev.
enue for the ordinary expenses of
the government without resotting
to the annoyance of stamp taxes

publican nomination MIR. Staples
was resident of ontario for sever
al years, where he held clerical posi-
tions and for several years was with
a Vale commercial house. There is
no question of his qualification for
the position and the party will rally
to his support.
Arthur Moody is the aspirant for
the position on the democratic side
and he has quite an advantage from
having been in the Office for the past
four years with the present clerk,
John Huston. Arthur was graduated
from the Ontario High school and
was very popular. He will draw a big
vote from all sections.
For assessor there Is going to be a
general scramble, although II is
conceded that It is about Inn
possible for man to occupy that
position and have any friends when
the term of office expires.
l.. Il. Hill, the present incumbent
wants to stay there another term.
The people had an opportunity to see
his work during the past term and
know what to expect II he is return
ed. lie will run on his record.
A. A. Roberts, of Juntura, is also
an aspirant for the republican nom
nation. Mr.. Roberts is thoroughly
qualified for the position and prom
ises to give all the people a square
deal IL elected. Mr.. Roberts has had
much experience as public official
and will make hard fight for the
nomination.
II is generally understood that
there will be some democrats after
the office and that they are now max
ing a canvass OF the county for the
nomination so that the public will
have several to select from.
For county school superintendent
Miss Fay Clark, Is the only one to
come out for the position 30 far. Miss
Clark announces herself democrat
and promises 70 conduct the Office to
the best OF her ability II elected.
There will no doubt be more can
didates come out later, when they
have had an opportunity to look the
field over and see what candidates
they will have against them.

RURAL CREDITS.

The full text OF the bill for rural
credits, reported by the Joint con-

ly the outline published, but is more
specific In prescribing the security
for the land bonds.
The twelve land banks In the reser-
We districts are to take farm mort
cages approved by farmers loan as
sociations. under restrictions pre-
scribed by the law. The money must
be borrowed for productive use by an
actual cultiyator; the loans must not
exceed ten thousand dollars TO one
person; the appraised value Of the
security mus be double the loan
and the mortgages must provide for
partial payment every six months,
The loan associations may be part
nerships. or Joint stock banks. the
former recommending mortgages a.
the district loan banks, tae latter
taxing them directly Both rhe dis
itict land badk' and tho Joint stock

the mortgages as collateral, these
bonds being guaranteed In every dis
triot by all the twelve land banks.
which are made fiscal agehts of the
government, so that It is practically
? government guaranty, every hlnd
Is secured;
First-By the capital, reserves and
earnings OF the land bank which is-
sues IT,
Two-By the capital, reserves and
earnings of the eleven other land
banks.
Thirdly the collective security
of all the mortgages in its division
the mortgages pledged being at least
equal in amount TO the outstanding
bonds,
Every mortgage pledged as collat-
eral is secured;
Firstly the personal undertake
ing OF the borrower.
Secondly the security of the

DEVELOPMENT DECISION.

The decision OF the U. S. Supreme
Court In the Alabama water power
case Is a long step In the direction OF
allowing Industrial development to
proceed in the Pacific Coast states.
The decision upholds the doctrine
that the rights OF eminent domain
and condemnation proceedings may
be authorized by the state leglsla-
lures to allow power corporations to
develop plants,
II the Pacific Coast states had to
wait for power development on the
federal or state government, with all
their wasteful extravaganza md
political pull they would get It slow
ly
The decision gives the states power
OF eminent domain over federal lands
and forest reserves, and is far-roNeh-
ing in making irrigation enterprises
In this state, and will make avail
able two million horse power by Civ
tAh hNNNa9 w Wv eAA'AAAo gA HNhlN
lands.
John A. Britton OF the Pacific Gas
and Electric Co.. says the decision Is
OF the utmost Importance TO the Pacif-
ic coast states, and that hereafter
lands set aside by the federal govern
ment cannot block development,
Justice Holmes wrote the decision
and in answer TO the charge OF the

proposed condemnation was not for
public use made this statement

The action taken by the Ontario
Commercial Club at n recent meeting
to agitate the installation of can
merry at this point is commendable
to say the least. II might be called
a vision for better things for Ontario.
This is bordering along manufactur-
ing lines that 20 to make the most
prosperous cities. and to be in the
full glare OF the limelight a city can
go forward only when such institu-
tions are inaugurated. Surrounded
by prolific orchards which command
the attention OF the entire northwest
tates. and producing those fruits that
can find n ready market anywhere.
this is surely the logical point for a
cannery OF no small magnitude. Once
established and on n paying basis a

OF what might be established In the
line OF industries In the thriving city
OF Ontario.
