I Twn roniva mm fbn vnrmli- in fltn wostnvn at nine: wnrp not unwilling to believe that the siirninc and the defense of the tariff bill were grave, but retrievable blunders of a well in tended, though inexperienced president. Since then, a great deal has happened to change the at titude of the people toward the president. Now he will be expected in the course of his two hundred speeches to ans wer a half dozen questions clearly, specifically, unequivo cally and without inviting his hearers to consent to further presidential procrastination. The people will ask the president "why ho considered that a reduction of the duties on agricultural products so urgent as to require a special session ol congress, while he . .... ... . .- . compelled the country to await the revision of the much tie bated, well studied, well understood and discredited wool schedule, until he should publish the report of his tariff board. What ever be the merits of the reciprocity policy, the farmei's of the west will want him to tell them how they were benefited in the past by protective duties on farm pro ducts m the Dmgloy aud Payne laws, it they are not m neeil of protection under reciprocity. They are Jiqt confused about reciprocity. It will reduce the cost of living 6r it will not. If it will not, it is a pre tense, if it will.it must reduce the prices of farm products, tn this connection it is significant that the Canadian Pa cific railway, (which, next to the government, is the larg est land owner in Canada) has advertised that reciprocity will increase farm land values in the Dominion by 100 per cent. m ' The people will expect the president to plainly states whether he is in favor of Aldrieh s central bank plan, or op posed to it. They want to know why a central banking or ganization, under the Aldrieh plan will not be controlled by the great money-interests which center in Wall street. The western people are deeply and indiviually interested in the currency question, because a monopoly of the credit of the country will throttle the free development of western in dustries and reduce them to a condition of industrial and fiscal dependency such as is now sometimes to be found in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and New England. Remembering that Richard Achilles Balliuger came from the state of Washington to the cabinet, as a represent ative of the public land states of the northwest and that, later, his own state by an overwhelming vote sent his critic, Pomdexter, to the senate, they will want to know the pres ident's exact attitude on the several conservation ques tions; the public land question; the question of the preser vation and the use of national forests; the development of the Alaska coal fields; the construction and control of rail roads in Alaska. They will expect Mr. Taft to be explicit to outline a difinite policy so they may know whether his inclination isvtoward the development of natural re sources by such large and enterprising syndicates as that of Guggenheim and Morgan, or by pioneers,', prospectors and small business men, with the protection and assistance of the government. And the people will be anxious to learn the president's' policy toward the industrial trusts. They believe a public servant's policy with regard to railroad combinations is in dicative of his probable "policy toward industrial trusts. The' have not forgotten that it is of record that the present administration proposed to allow the railroads to enter into pooling agreements and attempted to legalize the owner ship by one railroad of a majority of the stock of anotltci competing with it; in brief to legalize railroad trusts. The people want to know if that is the president's policy re garding industrial trusts. And finally the people will want to learn from the pres ident what his attitude will be toward the progressives, in his own party, if he should be nominated and re-elected. In the unforgotten Norton letter, it was acknowledged on be half of the president that he. had dealt with the progressive as if they had been democrats, because they had opposed his railroad policy as regards legalized pOQling and in other matters. Will the president construe his rcnomination (if he should be renominated) and his re-election (if he should he re-elected) as a mandate to read the progressive repub licans out of thc-pady a second time?

I Look for tho ad that describes tho pluao you would liko to own. IN THE very nalure of road building, the" major part of the cost is paid out for actual labor. In fact, there are but three small items, outside of actual wages paid for work, and these are powder for blasting in the quarries, oil for machinery and wear and tear on machinery. The balance is acutally paid to the workingman, and is retained in the community, where it goes, directly or indirectly, to the making of other improvements. This is a case where we can eat our cake and still have it. And it is not only the opinion of the county court, but of our poople in general, that this work should be given to. home-builders, people of our own community. Not one dol lar should be paid to foreign labor, none of this money should be shipped away. Every precaution should be taken to safeguard our community on this point, whether the work be done by contract or by the county. The county court has appointed an advisory board ot live citizens, selected lvnm din emit sections ol tho coun ty, consisting ot Benton Bowers ot Ashland, Jmink Brown Of Eagle Pointi liles Cantrall of Applegnte, Sam Math is of Woodvijle, antl Horace Pelttm ot Sams Vallby to pass upon all matters pertaining to roads both as to location and n tiinp of biding, aid continuation.
