The government raises the tariff to help lrwmufac luririg industries; it creates a farm board with a large appropriation to help agriculture; it spends miiny hundreds of millions of dollars upon highways and waterways to aid industry and agriculture, and incidentally to divert traffic from the railways.' It asks the railways in a period of -depression to make large capital expenditures to help main tain business. Then regardless of the wholly inadequate and confiscatory return being earned, it reduces the rates of the western lines and gracefully "passes the buck" to them by inviting them to take action to secure advance in other rates that would dmbroil them; ' with many of the big shippers." One solution would be increased tonnage to enable the railway lines to lower rates to a basis that will place Oregon industry on a par with other section's of the country, and yet give then! a fair return on their invested capital.

They received 65 cents per bushel for 2,641 bushels of wheat from 154 acres, a total of ?1,716, and thereby made a profit of ? 1,000. It is a beautiful story. Uut the land should be worth ?15,000 and at 6 per cent the carrying cost would be ?!H)0; add to this taxes of at least $100. and the S1.000 mfir i wiped out and the two lawyers would have less than noth-' nig ior ineir iroume. , Figures can be made to prove anything, and it is well to study carefully the total expense and income before jumping at the conclusion that there is great profit in certain lines of endeavor. , The. average man would rather be held up bv a stranger, than thrown down by a friend.
