THE FAIR STORE Get the Habit WOOL INNOCENT OF HIGH COST OF L1VINC W00LGR0WER8 OBJECT TO LAY ING. ALL OR PRINCIPAL BLAME ON SCHEDULE K. The woolgTowers of this county who were In attendance at the state and national conventions held. in Portland last week, have returned with glowing accounts of the good time enjoyed, the splendid hospit ality of Portland, and the serious, practical benefit derived, from the . meetings. Hon. Jay H. Dobbin, of this county was re-elected1 vice-president of the state association, and also elected vice-president for Oregon of the nat ional association. Fred Falconer was, a member of the committee on finance of the state association, and Mr. Dobbin, of the committee on resolutions. Both conventions expressed them selves in no uncertain terms about making Schedule K (the wool sched ule) the scapegoat for the many and manifold slna of manufacturers, trusts, finance masters and transpor tation charges made unnecessarily high to pay dividends on. thrice wat ered stock and bonds. The hue and cry against the high coat of living has been cunningly directed by the bloatod trust rob bers In big cities- against the only bit of effective tariff protection af forded the real producers, af ''he country farmers and stockmen. If it succeeds, the "clever" Aldrlches, Holes and Cannons- may find they have pulled- the whole tariff struc ture about their ears; the farmers wd stockmen may get up' as much nerve as the Canadian, produce-.. and go to headquarters and "'demand" fair and equal treatment for all. Fallowing la the entire article on tariff In the resolutions as adopt ed by the state convention: "We, the Woolmen of Orogonv view with alarm the threatened onslaught by Congress on the ,wool tariff, know- tag a we do that the reduction of the tariff will of necessity cripple, and perhaps destroy our industry. The ideas expressed by many peo ple that sheep men are making a large profit is very erroneous. The large expenses Incurred, which have from year to year Increased, have brought the expenditures and income very close together, leaving a very small margin of profit. This fact we have every confidence will be ascertained and reported by the Tariff Commission. We therefore welcome the Tariff Commlaeloni with out reservation. We point out, as we have pointed out before, .that the cost of wool In an. all-wool suit of clothes amounts to leas than $3.00, and that therefore the reduc tion of the tariff would not neces sarlly cheapen the cost of clothing (Continued oa Last Page.)
