What will be the consequences . ! to the countrv politically and eco- ! i nomieally ? The fight for the reciprocity treaty , was distinctly a move for the popu larization of the Taft administration. By the administration forces the treaty is appiauaea as a great tmng ; and the opening wedge towards tar- j uj rewsun. i ne president is tne nero v ti.e i.. iue nr.M cam .t.S u t!u. c,ml fit.lds wjth a fair prfjt to the spellbinders will puint to his themselves while, doing justice to work as reason why he should be re- j others .' lecte'1- ! That is the situation exactly and Of course the reciprocity treaty , lhe col,jnel presents the facts clearly was passed by the democrats and they anu without fear as is customary with may rightfully claim credit for the him Corporation influence in legis same. They will point out that the ! h,tion whether it be municipal, republicans were in the minority in,s.ute or natlonaI, Is tha hane ot the the Iwu-t ar.d wvr..- so diviled i'l the senate as to be ut.able to pa.-.s the I measure. Democratic orators will say : that if thi re is to be any rewarding : it should full to them. They enact-j eu the reciprocity treaty an.l they . did it of their ow n accord not be- j cause the president wanted it. The ; democratic party has always been for tiriff reform and for a reduction in the cost of living. But there has been a third j ele-I men, m the game the Insurgents. These men, led hy LaFollette, have j Let everybody help the accoramoJn opposed the ratification of the treaty j tions committee. They have the ar.d they have proMucu some excep- tioiialiv good arguments to justify : their position. In one of his speeches j T , La Follette said: I "First. Considered as a measure j ot reciprocity, I shall undertake to demonstrate later in the debate that the bill violates every principle of re ciprocity heretofore expressed in the platform declarations of the republi can j;irty and recommended by for mer republican presidents. ".Second. Considered as a tariff bill, it violates every tariff principle and platform promise upon which William H. Taft was elected president bf the United states. "In the beginning it was heralded at; a blessing to the consumer. So was the tariff bill of 1903. It prom ises to reduce duties for the- benefit of the people. It reduces no duties the effect of which can ever reach the peopie, but It does reduce duties for the millers, the packers, .Stand ard Oil, the brewers, the coal com b:nes and In eorne measure for the already over-protected interests. It is nothing that it pretends to be, and professes to be nothing that it is. It is a little brother to the I'ayne-Al-drich bill, the greatest legislative wrong inflicted upon the American people in half a century." When the treaty wan 'on its final passage men like La Follette, Cum mine, Borah and Bourne voted against it. They said that If recipro city 1k an entering wedge for tariff revision then the wedge has been poorly placed. They object because it gives free trade in farm product but continues duties on things the people actually consume. Wheat Is free but flour Is taxed. Livestock on the hoof Is free but dressed beef and packing house products are barred. In other words the reciprocity treaty Is harsh towards small producers of raw products but Is kind to the big milling and packing Interests. From the standpoint of the consuming pub He the Insurgents say In effect the reciprocity treaty is a nut shell gamo. It will bo interesting to see how j the country at large views the matter. 1 ; Will the country think the recipro- city treaty is a good thing and If so will they pive the credit to the pres- ident or to the democrats ronuress ? 1 or will they take the view of LaKol- Utie that the whole tiling Is a dc- iiision ana a snare. The answer will he given in 1912 r.lKMS DKMAXDS IT. If the Piieific Power & Light com pany desires to sell electricity for t luster lights on Main and Court streets it is only fair the company should get its unsightly poles off those streets so us to make tiie clus ter lights effective. At this time the effect of the cluster lights is spoiled and the people who ate pay- . in fol- those lights are not getting lvalue received for their money. i , ., ... , ., . Another teature in this connection i that deserves the earnest consider ation of the council is the fact that jwith the poles removed many addi tional cluster lights will be brought i into use. The cluster lights should h placed at fixed intervals along the (business streets and this will doubt less be done if the improvement now aked for is brought about. This wili mean Increased revenue for the electric trust and it should fully make up for the expense of plac ing the wires underground. Besides the company is already charging such high rates in this city that it can well afford to spend a few thousand dollars improving its local equip ment. Why should, Pendleton people be paying a basic price of 12 cents per kil.nvat hour when at the Oregon Agricultural College electricity is se i cured at a price of two cents per . r.uowat; is not Pendleton money as good as the money paid by the state of. Oregon ?

Because a 5,000,00i) busfiel wheat j crop is expected in L'matilla county , uni xiie Journal printed tateinents to that eifect, UU newspaper is in disgrace with L, D. Eaton of Pendle- tow and C. C. Connor of Helix. Both have expressed their views in the "Ri,Mt Orecroninn. One doubts ;lf tne rmatllla crop wiI1 reacn 5i. j ueo.yijij bushels. Both fear that the news of a bumper crop in Umatilla will reduce the wheat price. One suggests that the publication may have been in the interest of bearish wheat buyers. Mr. Connor says he is very famil iar with crop conditions. He says: "The predicted yield of Whitman county, Washington, has been low ered from 60,000,000 to 34,000,000 bushels." Mr. Connor's familiarity with- crop figures is indicated by the fact that Whitman's yield last year was 8,000, OOU and in 1909, 13,000,000. The Journal's prediction for this year for Whitman is 15,000,000. Nobody ever heard of 34,000,000, much less 60, 000,000. The fears of Mr. Eaton and Mr. Connor are not Justified. The Jour nal, not wheat buyers, sent Its mar ket editor to Investigate the wheat crop of the great inland empire.

Umatilla had a frac tion over 4.000.000. In any event, the reports from I'matlHa will not make the world's market panicky. Though a splendid county, Umatilla is but a small part of tho planet. The United States produced last year nearly 700,000,000 bushels of w heat. Of w hat concern to this coun try is a few hundred bushels more less in Umatilla county, Oregon? The world's 'w heat crop is, in round I numbers. 3.500.000.000 bushels. In 'such u wilderness of wheat, do Mr. Kii,on a"'1 Mr- -'"nor really believe that news of a crop failure from Helix or Pendleton would send the world's wheat prices aviating? Do they think the news of a bumper crop at Helix would demoralize the markets of the earth? Nobodv else does. touay's iwktiiday sketch.
