Them are less limn 300 animals -within the bound aries of tho state at this time. War flcu William S.

Til IS paper is in receipt 1 from the Chicago Tribune: " In vour-jmlgmont should President Tuft sign the wool bill, the farmers free list, bill and the cotton bill' .Do yon believe the president should veto these bills and wail for reports from the tariff commission on which scientii it tariff reduction can be based'? Please telegraph reply at onr expense." The following reply was sent: "Tnft should sign wool, farmers free list and cotton bills, as every reduction of the tariff means that much less robbery." Much more could have been said, but this covers the ground. Tariff regulation bv commission is as yet theoretical. Tt depends upon the personnal of the commission, and tfcit is taking a Ions: chance. There never was a commis sion the interests did not pack or attempt to pack. I There is no reason why the people should bo pilfered needlessly until this "scientific reduction" is figured out. There never was any science, except that of greed and grab, used in making a tariff. The bludgeon of the inter ests was the only instrument employed and thp bludgeon of the people will have to force whatever reduction is secured. A president who declared the Payne-Aldrich bill the "best tariff" ever, is apt to appoint a "best commission" along the same lines. The tariff imposes an artificial restraint upon business and destroys the workings of the natural law of supply and demand. It creates the multi-millionairs and the pauper. It robs the many for the benefit of the few, and Taft should sign all bills that reduces the loot of the pilferers. RAILROADS, PRESS BUREAUS AND HIGHWAYS. ABOUT the time that the Southern Pacific decided to make the newspapers pay in cash instead of adver tising for transportation, the railroad opened a press bureau and began sending newspapers a Tegular service of alleged news matter for publication. Some of it is of general information more of it is cleverly disguised ar gument to create a friendly feeling for the railroads. This paper has always been generously treated by the Southern Pacific in the matter of transportation, yet u is glad the change has been made, and nine-tenths of the newspapers feel the same way about it for the transpor tation was a source of a great deal' of aunoyauce from grafters. But why should the Southern Pacific now expect news papers to print their press matter free, and at the same time cut off reciprocal favors? That is a fair saihplc of railroad logic, and helps explain how freight rates arc made. Most of the press guff sent out by the railroad finds its way to the waste basket. The real news is culled at least by this paper with the editorial features, the only portion of real value to the railroad, eliminated. Press matter sent out by the Southern Pacific "for release August 8" contains a suppositious interview with a mvthical "Si Hawkins" a horny handed son of toil, who has figured out "while walking between the handles of a plow" that high railroad freight rates had nothing to do with the high cost of living, but that muddy roads, middle-mens profits and unscientific distribution were the real causes. Si didn't live in the Rogue River Valley, or he would know a thing or two about railroad rates more than he does. He would learn something as to how rates are fixed that would surprise him. He would learn that he was paying several times the average cost per ton mile of the country. He would learn that a mythical state boundary line made a vast difference in rates, and that if he wanted to ship goods to Medford from San Francisco, ha could save 11 cents a hundred pounds by shipping them first through Medford to Portland and back again to Med ford. But Si makes one good point and that is the only excuse for mentioning this railroad press dope here the actual cost to the farmer of poor roads and how much more vital the road problem is that even the freight rate question. This portion of Si's remarks are reproduced: "It took me a whole day with a team and wagon to haul 1500 pounds of hogs the ten miles I had to go. At the rate of $3.50 per day for team and driver, I easily ascertained that the wagon haul, without allowing any thing for repairs or keeping of myself and team, was cost ing 46 cents a ton per mile. When roads were not muddy, I hauled 2500 pounds to a load and yet that was 28 cents a ton per mile. ,,.-..,, "It cost me $3.50 o haul 1500 pounds, whereas with good roads I could haul G000 pounds at the same cost, showing very clearly to me that on that wagon haul I had a clean waste and loss of 75 per cent. When I realized that this enormous waste applied to all the great farm crops of this great countryfor every pound or ton of surplus farm products must be moved by wagon to the. cars or elevators at tne railway suiwim x w Bug gered." The farmer is more benefitted by good roads than any other class for to him they mean a business saving.
