i with the adjournment of congress
'and a footing up of the expenditures
that were ordered made it was found
that in round numbers the amount
f.gures to 11,074,000. When the first

talk over the land for the expendi
ture of so much money seemed ex-
travagant . ' .-. ' . Y; ' ' :
Now, things are different.' The
.country Is more densely. populated
tad demands are greater on the
tmsury, but probably, the chief rea
son why there Is little comment Is
tecause the United States has ac
quired the spending habit, From the
' capitalist to the newsboy every lndi
Tidual In the country Is a good spend
er, lie believes In keeping the coin
In circulation. So when congress
mates heavy v appropriations a few
may offer criticism but the great ma
jority, think it Is all right and pay
little cttention to the matter.
This session has accomplished : a
great deal,' but it has been through
the eforts of President Taft more
than through either branch of con
gress. Quite true everything has to
go through the hands of congress,
but Tali had a way of making it go
through that was admirable and he
, created no flurry in doing it, either,
In the short time that he has been
president more bills of major Import
" ance have become laws than most
. people think, until they investigate
closely. But there has been no brass
tend music, no loud talk and no de
tire on the part of the president to
seek the spot light. Taft Is one of
the most able presidents this country
lias ever had. Appreciation for his
work has not yet asserted Itself but
It will come. He Is not the kind of
'a man. who appeals to here wcrs'.iip
r pars, but he is the kind that works
every day In the year and each day
accomplishes something for his peo
ple. -;;v:.
And, although this is a billion dol
lar congress; although it has been
tall of blustering from Insurgents and
regulars, as each faction may call
Itself, the fact remains that with
Taft's ability to steer the ship, of
state the congress accomplished con
siderablc before it adjourned.
ClKTtTIXGXA GttAXDE'S MESSAGE
This morning a delegation of busi
ness men started over the county in
automobiles 'to carry La Grande's

Chautauqua gathering to come early
and stay late.
In fulfilling this duty the business
men are voicing the community's
sentiment and wish, for La Grande
will be host for thousands during
the early part of July and it will be
the greatest peasure possible to
, make everyone feel at home and wel
come. Today the automobile crowd will
rlsit Hot Lake. Union and Cove. Each
community will do something on a
certain day to advertise itself. For
Instance, Cove will be asked to bring
a cherry display and on that day the
"Chautauqua will pay strict attention
to tha cherry growing Industry of
tha Yalley, and of Cove in particular,
Tomorrow the same crowd of bus!-
nest men will , visit , Imbler, Elgin
ld Sumxnervllle. The same broad In-
-rftatlon will be extended to that por
tion of the talley and tha lama cor
dial welcome will be extended. Be
fore the end of the week delegations
-M visit Baker City and Fenaieton
,Qf hv Saturday evening the
Sautauqua gaherinV wUl not only
be well advertised through newspa
pers, but 'it will also have been car
ried by word of mouth to every pre-
i cinct within reach of La Grande. ,
CONGRESSIONAL "WISDOM OX THE
COST OF LIVING.
, "The . mountain ,. labored and it
brought j forth a laughable mouse." j
One thinks of the old maxim as he.
reads the report of the congressional '
committee appointed last winter to(
ascertain the reasons for the Increase j
In the cost of living. The tempta
tion to apply the saying to the report
is strong, says the Spokesman-Review
The committee tells nothing, sep
arately, that was not known already
The report's chief value lies in the
assembling of -the many Individual
causes of the increase of the cost of
living. There is also a minor use
fulness In some of its negative state
ments. The republican majority of the com-
mitte claims that the Dingley and
Aldrich tariffs were not ; a "material
factor in causing the advance In
prices." since 1900, but acknowledges
that "many industrial combinations
by manufacturing or controlling a
majority of the output, are able to
exercise some control over prices."
The poor see no difference between
such combinations , and , trusts, and
consider both the main cause of high
prices. . -" '
Other noteworthy causes named by
the majority of the committee in
clude increases in the farmers faci
lities for banking, which enable the
farmers to steady and raise prices,
increased cost of distribution, as when
Madame Housewife has the grocer and
butcher deliver at her door; increas
ed quantities of gold; rising stand
ards of comfort and storage of food.
The report woud , have been more
helpful If it had suggested remedies.
The one implied in "wilful waste
makes woeful want,? might be em-
ployed advantageously. The people
and legislatures of the entire world
need a course of study in the thr'it
Al-li
inculcated by "Poor Richard's
manac."
Marse Henry Watterson deplores
the agitation now going on for woman
suffrage. And Marse Henry is not
alone in this matter, for there is no
thing in It but trouble for the ladles,
and most of them have plenty of
trouble now.

"Poor, frightened little Bunny was then let go, and he hurried home, heart
broken. When the other rabbits saw him they laughed and Jeered and called
him 'Bobtail.' and for a whole week he would not leave his hole in the ground."

"Not he, dear. Bunny was a wise little chap, and when he did come out
and was called 'Bobtail' again he only held his head high and said that it was
the latest style from Paris. Then all the other rabbits, not to be behind the
style and In order that they might keep up the credit of tbe Bunny tribe, cut
off their tails, too, and from that time on no rabbit that did not have its talt
