FINAL ELECTION FIGURES

OF the 36,6o8,66e votes cast in the
November election, the largest number
in the history of the nation, Herbert
Hoover received 21,429, 100 and Al
fred E. Smith received 15,005,497.
The republican candidates plur-
atty over that of his democratic OPP
ponent was 6,423,ol2, on the basis
of these figures gathered by The
Associated Press from the election
officials of the 48 states.
Candidates of minor parties re-
ceived the 364063 votes aside from
those for Hoover or Smith, as fol-
lows; Thomas, socialist, 267,835; Eos

ist-labor, 21,1s1; Varney, prohibition,
20,1o1; Webb farmer-labor, 6,3e1
(scattered) 327.
Despite his large plurality, Mr.. Hoo
yer failed by e14,e01 votes to equal
the plurality of 7,338,513 given Calvin
Coolidge over John w. Davis in 1924
but at that time the LaFollettee-
Wheeler independent ticket received
4,s22,s56 votes. In that year the re-
publican vote was 15,725,016.
While republicans carried 81 states
in 1924, they garnered 10 in the re-
cent election. This represents the
moot overwhelming defeat ever sus-
tanned by the democratic party in the
electoral college,. Governor Smiths
popular vote, however, exceeded by
6,628, 1894 the 8,3S6,5O3 polled in 1924
by Davis.
The total November vote cast ex-
coed by 7,7o7,252 the total Of 2e,o91,
417 cast four years ago. Much of the
increase was accounted for in the
southern states where approximately
1874 per cent more votes were cast
The increase for the nation as a
whole was slightly above rs per cent
Votes for the two major parties
in the once additionally democratic
solid south" totalled 3,0o4,145, with
1,4oo,4sS going to Hoover and 1897
o57 to Smith, the states considered
being Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Texas and
Virginia. Of this group, however
Hoover carried Florida, North Car
clina, Texas and Virginia which had
supported democratic presidential can
didates since reconstruction days until
the recent election.

RAISE TARIFF ON ONIONS

Onion growers in this valley, or at
least those who would like to grow
onions if they could be assured of a
profitable selling price, will be in
terested to know that the tariff on
onions has been increased from one
cent to one and half cents pound
by proclamation of President Cool
idge. The new schedule becomes eff
fective January 81.
This half cent pound will mean
that the growers will get at least so
cents a sack more for their onions,
it is estimated.
In Walla Walla county, where on
ions are one of the staple crops, the
news of the increase in the tariff was
hailed with delight
The principal competition for on
ion growers in this country comes
from Spain and Egypt, where they
are produced by cheap labor and
hauled by water to this country for
practically nothing. Ship owners use
the onions for ballast instead of sand.
They haul them for about what it
costs to load and unload. The ship
pers pay this low charge, the one
cent pound tariff, and the small
railroad hauling charge, and undersell
growers in this country.
Under the tariff law the president
is empowered to increase the rate so
per cent whenever it is found nee
essary.

ON MINT GROWING
By E. C. Durdle
continued from page one

continued ITOtH page CHe
returning fair profit each year, than
The history of the mint situation
would the mint crop.
briefly is this, as I understand it.:
A few years ago, quite a large acre
age of mint grown in states around
the great lakes, suffered severely
from winter freeze and as con-
sequence mint oil went to $40 to $22
a pound. This gave great impetus
to the mint oil production on the
part of those WHO had been growing
the crop even here on the west
coast and the enormous income which
this high price for oil, brought to the
grower, naturally interested many
other growers. Since that year, how
ever, mint oil has been down to from
$2.25 to $3.50 per pound and net in
come has been only a fair return
some years and many growers have
stored oil in the hopes that they
could secure better price Later. In
dications are that lot of this oil is
still in storage. The people who have
been able to make the most from
the venture have been those who have
been selling roots for propagation pur--
poses to those becoming interested
in the crop. Because of the rather
limited market for mint oil, and the
increased acreage; it is rather doubtful
whether the price of mint oil will
be high again for number of years.
Of course, the crop can be put to no
other than the production of mint oil
and since the expense of growing is
rather large, we would consider ser
iously, whether it is a crop which
farmers should consider favorably. We
believe that right in your community,
poultry venture, well founded, would
come much nearer assuring one good
returns. The same might be said of
dairying.
