CHAMBERLAIN GIVES VIEWS Oregon Senator Believes 1ft Per Cent Duty le Needed by the Growers Washington. Senator Chamberlain gave out the following authorized statement of bis position on wool: "In view of the fact that Oregon Is a wool-growing state, it seems to me lu tbe preparation of a tariff measure some concession ought to be made to the wool-growing industry, particularly In view of the fact that a reduced duty is retained on the manufactured pro duct. 1 am advised that wool-growers In the west and middle west would be satisfied with an ud-valorem duty of 15 per cent. This small concession would not add appreciably to the cost of the manufactured proauci, ana therefore would uot have material In fluence on the high coat of living. "If the house pusses the general tar iff bill designed to carry out the pledg es which democrats and republicans made to revlee the tariff downward. I would not let my vote be influenced bv any one item placed on tbe free list against my personal objection. In other worde, it is better to sacrifice my individual interest than that a bur densome rate of taxation be levied upon tbe whole people. I believe the tariff ought to be revleed downward, and so far as my vote and influence goes It shall be. The retention of a slight duty on wool, however, would not violate democratic policy or the declarations of the democratic plftt form. It la a question If the govern ment can afford to lose the revenue that would be derived from a email duty on wool." ( by American Press Association.
