REFUSING 500, 900.

In these days when wealth lends
respectability, or is generally con-
ceded to attach a mertain amount OF
that generally desired commodity, Il
Is decidedly unusual to hear OF any
one refusing such a sum as 100000
when the amount is offered for his
services.
Yet that is exactly what Charles f.
Hughes did. And he didn't wait until
he was a candidate for president. He
did this while he was justice OF the
supreme court and years before he
was even mentioned for president.
Here are the facts:
When Joseph Pulitzer. the great
New York publisher. wrote his will
he looked over the entire field of
America for trustees who would ad-
minister fairly, iudiciously and ex-
pertly the great property which he
planned TO beQueath in trust to his
heirs. He named Charles Evans
Hughes, then member of the Unit
ed States supreme court, and fixed
100000 as his compensation.
Justice Hughes declined the COM
mission and the fee. So great an
amount for an easy Job was no temp
tation to a man who had high ideals
for himself as Judge and for others
and who lived up to them.
Such men is the nominee of the
republican party for president.-Cot-

As has been generally predicted

are getting into "the game" For
the past two years men who have

case then the gamblers who have

That the ultimate victory will rest

THE PUBI.IC'S LOSS.

VIII the settlement OF the threat
ened railroad strike as outlined In
the Adamson bill to prove a perma-
nent solution? Is the question Rgitat-
ing the minds OF business men and
the public generally these days. II
In remarkable. too. how general is
the opinion that the Adamson bill
will prove unsatisfactory to both
parties to the recent wage controyer-
ny.
There can be no doubt that the
leaders OF the four great brother
hoods injured the cause OF their fol-
lowers by their precipitate calling OF
the strike while negotiations were
still pending for a settlement even
tho II was manifestly unlikely that
such a result could be reached. The
public is accepting the position that
In calling the strike. as they did, the
leaders OF the men coerced congress
into the passage OF a measure which.
In spirit. II does not approve and
which will rise some day to haunt IL.
Whether by great captains OF in
dustry or by captians OF labor. the
people do not relish the idea OF hav-
ing the representatives in congress
bullied into the passage Of class leg
islation. This Adamson bill is in
deed II not In law. class legislation
for II defines the length of time one
class OF men In interstate commerce
shall work. and only one.
The Adamson bill goes farther in
the regulation of great industry
than even the most radical adherent
of the democratic party could have
dreamed ten years ago, and what is
the resultY The government must
az the result OF this bill throw open
the doors for indiscriminte rises in
railroad rates all down the line.
The government thru statute and
court decisions has enunciated the
principle that railroad is entitled to
earn seven per cent on its present
valuation without respect to the cap |
ital invested, Now il has said to |
the employees of these companys, |
you cannot work more than eight |
hours hut YOU must be paid for ten
hours. Since the railroads could |
make but seven per cent with the
men working 10 hours. the rates
must be raised II the new order is
TO be obeyed
Where will this end? Next the of !
flee employees, the section men, the
shop employees and other railroad
men will seek the eight hour day,
and IL the engineers and firemen are
entitled to IL, these men are more
entitled to consideration.
With each reduction in hours of
service there will be new rise in
rates and the general public will pay
he bills and II will be a general
public that is not given court assur-
'nce that IL may earn seven persent
IN its investment either.
While there is no desire extant

Nothing could more completely
demonstrate the falacy OF the demo-
cratic tariff policy or its injurious
effect on oregon citizens than the
following news story clipped from
the news columns OF June 1913.
shortly after the passage OF the pres
ent Underwood tariff.
This should serve to remind Nal
heur county citizens OF the condition
OF the wool market In 1919 prior TO
the war and cause them to ponder.
whether or not when the war ceases
they wish this condition to be re-
peated.
The following is the news story:
At the present low price at which
wool is selling in this state. owing to
the democratic free trade bill, the
Oregon growers are receiving from
7 TO 10 cents pound less than they
would under a protective tariff law.
The prices at the 1913 public sales
are within about 2 cents of the 1912
prices. but the woods this year are
of 10 to Is per cent lighter shrink
age than last season. and this makes
the price from four TO five cents less.
The foreign markets are now about
three cents higher than a year ago,
Therefore. the sheepmen are losing
from seven to ten cents on every
pound of wool they produce. because
of the Underwood bill.
