MORE PROSPERITY AND LESS POLITICS WHAT IS NEtDED Dr. Wlthyrombe' Mm na I'pbulldlng llrir,,n in Ulirht La Grande Observer. An election Is near. The campaign Is on In earnest. The main Issue that of giving farm legislation Is lost sight of, and why? Hecause down In Oregon City a man by the name of U'Ren la a part and parcel of the Pels organisation to put 'over single tax In Oregon. U'Ren is ably assisted by Editor Jackson, of the Portland Journal. They know single lux In Its raw state will not carry. In their craftlneaa they knew they muni befog the voter's mind. The old issue that is used In every state to attract public attention was raised, presumably with the bono that It would get the front of the stage while i Ken and Jackson put over the fifteen hundred dollar exemption and other measures of a single tax nature. The whole game Is to befog the public mind , to raise a big smoke so that ean diutes and Issues of their choice can "slip" In. They are raising every political corpse that Oregon has ever had; they are flaunting every disseuslou bufore the people In the hope of stampede and chaos. Hut throughout their endeavor not a single particle of legislation is prom ised for the farmer and the farm lands. For yeara farmers of Oregon have been listening to the siren songs of the politicians. There has been sbso lutely no uniformity of thought or ac tion on the part of the friends of agri culture and no plan of procedure. Many of the campaign promises now being used by candidates would crip ple agriculture It fulfilled, ha fact, deatroy It In this state. Are the farmers and those in other lines of business benefited by the farmers, going to continue In submis sion to the befogging process which Invariably results in no legislation for the agricultural classes, but instead puts hordes of clerks on salaries and creates numerous commissions? This year the people have a chance to vote for a man who will work for the farms, first, last and all of the time. If we are to have an Oregon that bases its advancement on the land (which Is the only correct and substantial Industry to base It upon) then we should alt, regardless of po litical party, vote for Wlthrconibt -the man who believe in tbeposslbllltlesof the soil and who respects the farmer to the extent that he will lay other legislation aside for a while in order that this state may go on record with some constructive legislation that will advance agriculture. WHAT THE EUROPEAN WAR IS DOING FOR AMERICA The wars in Europe are giving American industries an effective Pro tective Tariff. These wages have done what tho most radical Protectionist has never advocated. Thoy have stopped Importation In some linos of goods en tirely, because the men who formemly made sut h goods are In the army. On aceonnt of tho cessation of Imports a large number of Free-Trndors are urg ing manufacturers of chemlcnls, drugs, dyaalaffa, etc., to enlarge their plants and to Introduce new linen. Some of these goods have never been made In America. Just now there Is a big opportunity for the home manufactur er, but tho home manufacturer knows that tho wars will finnlly come to an end and that tho people of Furopo again will work. Then the people of Kurope will work cheaper than thwj over have In former years because of their anxiety to secure some kind of employment. Thousands of men in Kurope will not have a dollar, nor nn extra blto of food when tho wars are over. Therefore, the competition from Kurope, not only on the linos wo have named, but In all linos, will be more savage than in any former year. Pnder tho existing Tariff the Kuropcan manu facturers wore rapidly taking posses sion of tho American market. If Ameri can industries had not suffer)! on account or the wars, there suffering would have been great on account f multiplied and enlarged foreign Impor tation. The Tariff wall erected by the wars has set a great many men to thinking along lines different from their thinking In former years. Ever valuable Industry needs Protection, not i :n...r:ir . imt permanent. Tho xlnc Industry was established by means of Protection. Thta can also be said of numerous other Industries. Inasmuch as the Government needs the revenue and Is at Its wits' ends for more money, why should not the Tariff, thus start ing toward American Industrial In dependence? When Oermany quit work and went to war ahe waa the most Independent nation In the world In an industrial sense. She accomp lished this by a Protective Tariff. Why should this great republic be ashamed to charge the foreigner ror the privi lege of doing business In the Pnlted states Ordinarily this Is the best market in the world. The home manu facturer pays taxes for the privileges of the market. Why should not the foreigner be required to do the same? vw,,, tfvs sTWWtfVtrvwwWer VILLA REFUSES TO ACCEPT CARRANZA Chihuahua, Max. The Immediate resignation of Carranxa as first chief of the constitutionalists Is the only basls on which General Francisco Vil la will agree to the settlement of dif ficulties between himself and Carran tn Tbla was his reply to messages of officials In Mexico City who pro tested against his attitude towards Carranxa.

His reply, as given out here, follows: "I lament the circumstances that have brought about grave danger, but sincerely protest that my soio ambi tion will be to arrange existing diffi culties without shedding blood if pos slble. "I emphatically declare, however, that the only move that can bring about ceaaatlon of hostilities on my part is thst Venustlano Carranxa de liver supreme command to Fernando Iglealas Calderon so that, In the short est possible time, elections may be called.
