TARIFF AND SHINGLES.

How the Underwood tariff killed
the shingle industry in oregon and
Washington and transferred IL TO
British Columbia was set forth clear
ly by Representative Humphrey, OF
Washington, In a recent speech in the
house OF representatives.
Prior to the enactment OF that tar
iff law Il was shown that the state Of
Washington alone produced over so
per cent of all the cedar shingles
manufactured In the United States
and over 60 per cent of all shingles
OF all kinds produced In the United
States, Its greatest competitor in
the shingle industry is British Col
umbia.
The men working in the mills on
this side the border are for the most
part American citizens In British
Columbia the labor employed in the
mills Is so per cent Oriental, mostly
Chinese. Approximately double are
the wages paid to American labor
in this industry, compared to those
received by the Chinese.
mo better illustration OF the
workings of the protective tariff, -
said Mr.. Humphrey, "can be found
than in the history OF the shingle in
dustry. In the Payne law there were
material changes in the tariff upon
three important products of the state
of Washington, The tariff was re-
duced on coal and the price of coal
Immediately increased, II was re-
duced on lumber and the price of
lumber Immediately increased II
was increased from 25 cents to so
cents per thousand on shingles and
the price of shingles was Immediately
reduced; new mills opened up; new
markets were found; production in
creased; work and wages increased; /;
the British Columbia producer was
driven from many American markets
that they had long controlled; the
mills for the first time in the history
OF the industry ran twelve months
OF the year instead of six months, "

act went into effect American mills

who has enlisted under the Wilson
banner. The official organ OF the New
York Federation OF Labor in 1909
had this TO say OF Governor Hughes:
Now that Governor Hughes has
retired from politics and assembled to
a place on the highest judicial trib-
unal in the world, the fact can be
acknowledged without hurting any
body's political corns that he was the
greatest friend OF labor laws that ey-
er occupied the governors chair at
Albany. During his two terms he
has signed Sc labor laws, including
among them the best labor laws ever
enacted in this or any other state.
lie also urged the enactment OF labor
laws In his messages to an extra ses-
sion Of the legislature. Only 1862
labor laws have been enacted In this
state since It's erection In i777-in
l33 years. One-third OF these, ex'
ceedng in quality all Of the others
have been enacted and signed durinp

and nine months"
In 1909 Governor Hughes In his
annual message recommended
workmen's compensation law to take
the place OF old employers liability

ANOTHER RAIL INVASION.

There is practical. business-like

sition TO penetrate the klamath lake
country with a railroad that Is in

simple. definite offer to build a line
from klamath Falls eastwardly TO

Three things he wants: Free right
of-way. a terminal site and $500, 900
In cash In exchange for stock or
equivalent legal interest. In return
he promises to have the road in op-
GRAFTON its whole length within a
year.

THE wARMsPRINGs BONDS.

There are several significant facts
concerning the warmsprings bonds
that put them out OF the ordinary
class of irrigation securities.
The most essential difference be-
tween these. and the ordinary irriga-
tion bond ia this; the land to be serv-
ed has a proven value. or It's pro-
ductivity there can be no doubt. Sub
stantial development and abundant
crops give visible evidence OF It's pos.
sibilities.
The substantial development OF the
land under the district is also. In IT.
self. an absolute guarantee for the
bonds, for not only are the lands Sc
curity for the bonds. but the Inn
proyement as well. II is perhaps
safe to say that the combined value
OF the lands and improvements at
the present prices many times ex-
ceods the total issue OF bonds. When
to the already existing values is add
ed the enhanced worth OF the area
when a complete water right is So
cured by the addition OF water dur.
ing the entire growing soason, the
security is lmmeasurably increased.
Beside these facts the comparative.
ly low cost OF building and impound
Ing dam and the extension OF the dis.
tributlng feature adds to the desira.
bility OF these bonds as an invest.
ment for any bonding house. There
is no danger that when the work IL
once started that additional funds
Will be required to complete Il.
Since these are the condition which
surround the issue II appears TO ev.
cry student OF the situation that
these bonds are as gllt-edged a,
school or county bonds. They have
behind them the same property a.
that which secures school obligation,
and the money will be used TO en-
hance the value OF the same property
The writer has too recently be
come resident OF Ontario TO be suffi
eiently eonversant with conditions tC
express an opinion as TO the exact ef
feet of the voting OF the bonds, but
II the belief OF every citizen inter
viewed on the subject Is a proper cri
terion on which to form a judgment
the benefits are almost beyond mea
sure.

BROKEN PLEDGES.

Under the caption OF Political
Pledges" Colonel George Harvey.
perhaps the most profound thinker
in the democratic party In the Aug
ust number OF the North American
Review arraigns the present admin
istration. No rabid republican could
possible draw so condemning an In
dictment OF the party M has Colon
el Harvey. who II will be remember
ed made Woodrow Wilson a national
figure. and. who perhaps, did more
than anyone save w. ], Bryan to
make Professor Wilson president.
Among the counts against the dem
ocratic party raised by Colonel Har-
yey the following are but a few: The
repudiatlon OF the principal set forth
In the platform OF 1919 that:
THE federal government un-
der the constitution has no
right or power to impose or
collect tariff duties except for
the purpose of revenue. and we
demand that the collection of
such taxes shall be limited to
the necessities OF government
honestly and economically adj
ministered,
In theory. the democratic party
Tepudiated this fundamental princi-
pie. says Colonel Harvey, "when
at ST, Louis il merely reaffirmed
our belief in the doctrine of proyid-
ing sufficient revenue for the opera
tion OF government and in practice,
Il accepted the protective system,
when. in congress, IL placed protec-
tive duties on dye stuffs.
"Of the Underwood tariff. which
was. 'unreservedly endorsed at ST.
Louis as. truly eNemplifying that
doctrine. of tariff for revenue, Col
onel Harvey quotes Speaker Champ
Clark as saying: i can take this
tariff schedule and so arrange il that
the American people will not have To
pay any more than they are now
paying and get twice as much out of
this tariff system as we are now get
ting
Concerning the attitude of the
democratic party toward the propos-
ed tariff commission Colonel Harvey
again allows democratic leaders by
their utterances to confound them
selves and demonstrate their incon-
sistency when he quotes Leader
Claude Kitchin's observation; II is
only within the past two months that
the democratic party (meaning Pres
ident WILSON, has been in favor OF
such a commission" Says Mr. Har-
yey of the present democratic posi-
tion; the right and power TO inn
pose protective duties. denied in i912
is now conceded and exercised; the
time-honored tariff for revenue on
ly' is abandoned; and the pledge OF
1879 is broken, for the obvious rea-
son OF depriying the opposition of
an issue"
This is but one of the staggering
indictments brought by the hitherto
loyal leader of democracy, others will
be cited in future issues.
