Despite the rather gloomy outlook
earlier In the season for the grape
crop in the Rogue valley, 1t is now
anticipated that the yield will be most
satisfactory in many OF the vineyards.
The California crop was practically
wiped out by the early frosts, but
the Rogue vineyards were not suffi-
ciently advanced to meet such sweep
ing damage. The vines have since
come out In good shape, and the crop
promises well. especially in view Of

Allen said he believed Roosevelt
would take an active part In the
Hughes campaign. The thing for the
progressives to do now. he said. is
for the progressives to nominate
Hughes and Parker. This would keep
the party alive and give many pro-
gresslves who did not intend to af-
filiate with the democratic party or

KIDNAPPING BULL MOOSE
CONTINUED from page IL

One thing done at the Sunday con
ference. 1t was learned. was to checl
OF the probable democratic platform
against the platform adopted by thu
|progressives last week. The demo
cratic platform. Il was agreed, would
meet the progressives' expressed de-
sire on the following points:
Universal military training.
Regulation OF industry and just
distribution OF It's returns. nt.g
establishment Of an American
merchant marine. "a
National highway development.
A permanent tariff commission.
Removal Of artificial causes of the
high cost Of living. asgtsesk u
Prevention of the exploitation oi
men. women and children In industry
by extension OF the workmer's com
pensation law and a thorough-goins
child labor law.
Protection of the wage-earner.
A properly regulated system Of
rural credits to encourage the land
less man and give him chance to
acquire land.
Stumbling blocks in any get
together program, all democrats
agreed. would include the following
moose planks:
Protective tariff.
woman's suffrage.
Mexican policy.
Subjects that offer debatable
ground. the democrats feel, include:
Americanism.
A navy second" among those OF
the world.
Conservation.
The planks named cover the whole
progressive platform.
There is no chance Of conciliating
differences over the protective tariff,
democratic leaders agreed. but some
believe the permanent tariff commits
sion is regarded as Of more import
ance by many moosers. and on this
the party platforms are the same.
The proposal today found favor
not only with the more radical
democratic leaders, who might be ex-
pected to urge modification OF the
platform to meet the progressives'
views, but with some old line leaders.
"They should be invited. by all
MEANS" said Roger Sullivan.
Tom Taggart was less inclined to
put the matter through at once. He
suggested that the platform itself
should first be adopted and then the
progressive leaders asked to come to
st. Louis.
Perhaps our views will meet
theirs" he said.
Taggart worked definitely among
other leaders for time today to fore
stall what he feared might be pre-
cipitate action in the matter.
In the light OF the fact that the
Mexican situation is still undeter-
mined. several Of the plotters believe
the progressiyes would not make that

G, o, p. Tide HIGH,

1t would not be fair to make compari
sons between the 134,583 votes cast in
the Massachusetts primaries for Re-
publican candidates for governor and
the 1885 votes polled by the two
Democrats in the field There was a
hard fight for the Republican nomins-
ton, but no contest worthy of the
name in the Democratic party. Natu-
rally, the proportion of the Republican
vote was larger than it was in the op-
position party.
But there is fresh proof that the
tide of Republican feeling and Repub-
lican interest is running full and
strong this year in the fact that the
Republican candidates for the highest
office in the state polled 134,583 votes
in a primary election, while the Repub-
Iican vote in 1914 at the general cleo
tion in November was only 198,627
The proportion of the Republican vote
drawn out in the contest for places on
the official ballot was much greater
than it could have been if the Repub-
Ican party had not been filed with
confidence and enthusiasm.
All political straws show the same
wind blowing this year. 1t is rising
to a gale that will sweep the Demo
cratic party out of power as soon as
the people can express their will at
the polls.-Cleveland Leader (Rep).

Business After the War.

The administration industrial pro-
gram, as suggested by the anti-dump-
ing law, apparently overlooks the pro-
spective economic tendency that will
follow the close of the war. The pur-
chasing power of most of the people
of Europe will be reduced The tend
ency will be to lower prices at home
and raise them in the United States.
Germany is not likely to get for her
dyestuffs in her own country higher
prices than she can obtain in the
United States Most of the European
nations will try to get the best prices
they can in the United States, and an
anti-dumping law will not even begin
to meet the situation.
Wages have been steadily rising in
the United States. The cost of raw
material has been increasing. Humane
legislation has added to the cost of
production, reducing the hours of
workmen and eliminating child labor,
What is needed is a tariff that will
equal the difference in the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad.

NEED MORE REVENUE
Underwood Tariff Is Not Produc-
ing Enough.
Figures of the department of Com
nerce Show How Much-Vaunted
Democratic Legislation Has
Adverse Effects.

Even the Democratic party no longer
accepts free trade for it's tariff policy.
The tariff doctrine of that party in
recent years has been a tariff for reve-
nue. only. 1t was for such tariff that
the Baltimore platform declared in
1912.
Consciously or unconsciously, how
ever, the party in power enacted a tar
iff which in actual operation has pro-
duced a condition very closely approx
mating free trade. According to the
official statement of the department of
commerce, 70 per cent of all the i'm
ports which were received in this
country in the month of August came
in free of duty. In other words, the
tariff provides revenue only on one
fourth of all the products entering
American ports.
There need be no further explana-
ton of the failure of the law as a reye
nue. producer. The nation has virtu
ally abandoned the tariff as a revenue
producer under the present admins
tration. Even sugar which still is the
largest producer of revenue. is to go
on the free list next year. The coun-
try will then embrace free trade cut
right.
The European war to a certain eX
tent has prevented the country from
feeling the direct effects of this tariff
policy. But even the vaunted excess
OF exports over imports. which has
brought about the increased prosper
ity of the country, is somewhat over
estimated, so far as the beneficent eff
tects of the present tariff law are con
cerned. The export showing has been
put in the most favorable light by com
parsons between the last twelve
months with the twelve months pre-
ceding, when exports, as a result Of
the low tariff law, had fallen to the
lowest ebb.
Thus, instead of comparing the ex
cess of exports over imports for the
last fiscal year, amounting to $1,265,
| 334,346, with the 373,52S,276 excess
for the previous twelve months, a diff
| ferent story is told by a comparison
with the last twelve months period il
which the Payne-Aldrich law was il
| operation, the year ended August, 1913
In that year the excess of exports ovel
imports amounted to $711,755, ,672, ant
the balance of trade did not begin tt
decline until the new law became
operative.
