BURTON GIVES HIS
OPINION
(Continued from Pare 1)
He says 132,000,000 bushel of good
grain, according to estimate! from the
United States bureau of statistics, are
taken out of the food supply of the
country annually for this purpose.
There is one rat hole in the granary,
he says, where a large quantity of the
food aupply of the country goes, which
helps to increase the coat of the re
mainder. The basic atatistics givn are that in
the year 1912 there were used in the
United States in the manufacture of
distilled spirita 23.016,759 bushels of
corn, 6,699,667 bushels of rye, 25,506
bushels of wheat, 1943 bushels of bar
ley, 4,075,991 bushels of malt, 6663
bushels of oata and 60,676 bushels of
other materials.
, .The law prohibit! the killing of wild
game or taking fish, from the streams
in order U prevnt the scarcity of
gam and fish. Why should it not pre
vent the destruction of other kiiuls of
food to prevent scarcity, Mr, Hurlon
ska.
In IM, it is i-oiiitsd out, the number
of barrels vt beer prtlu-d in the
United (States was SA, :.(, in liif,
f 2,l7(i.t)i; In cy ll.e number of gal
Ihi4 vf dintl'led spirits I'lodured in the
United States was 89,992,555; in 1912,
175,417.469; in 1896 the amount of corn
consumed in the manufacture of liquor
was 13,497,669 bushels; in 1912 corn and
other grains. 32,784,104 bushels.
If the farmers feed their grain to
pigs and cattle the packers would help
them or the banka would help them,
and the meats would become more
plentiful to the consumers and the cost
of living reduced, he says, and if chem
ical alcohol is neeJed in the mechanical
arts it can be made of sawdust or any
kind of wood without spoiling good
food to make it.
Origin of "Tnia."
A real thug was a member of an or
ganized society of tanutical murderers
In India, who cousldered their vb
itma to be uacrirlces to their god.
Their method was by strangulation.
The Kngltkh tried to suppiess thtra
about 1810. but did not succeed till
about 1S30.
OUR WOOL SHOULD BE

,! goli.g bioad'sal itudw of
liii wool h o , ,,,,, ,
this mill Is using several tons each
week of old rags gathered from
various parte of the country. This
is what is torn up and sold and ad
vertised as your wool. Does Ore
gon and Oregon wool growers need
protection against, this? What re
spect will the consumer have for
Oregon wool when he finds from
the wear of the garment or the
fabric that It will not stand the
test? He tells you that he doesu't
want any more Oregon wool, and
can you blame him?
Statement No. 2 Shipping and
Receiving of Freight. The state
ment Is made that all freight to San
Francisco Is shipped from their own
dock, and as I want to give this
man all the credit he Is. entitled to,
he has forgotten to tell you that at
that same dock h also receives a
large amount of old rags from Cali
fornia to be ground up, made Into
fabrics and sold for Oregon wool.
Dou'i you think you ueed protec
tion against that?
Statement No. 3 Largest Mill
West of the Mississippi. We are al
so told that this is the largest mill
t of the Mississippi and w are i
lld uuny wouderful things Id couJ
iU,io s ui it. There Is ou very j
lioi4 thing In idiiUM tl.tii wlih It j
that lirt his modesty i ha for!
"ltei to (ell )U. Illal , )4 l

"r T st) uf lb ill'fl in
fact. I think in the United States,
that has three rag pickers, or as
the United States government calls
them, rag grinders. The United
States government gives us figures
that there is one rag picker to ev
ery 474 woolen mill employes in
the United States. This mill has
the distinction of having one rag
picker to every 83 1-3 employes, so
that these rag pickers are employed
to manufacture Oregon wool from
old rags. This Is another thing you
need protection against, not only you
wool growers but the whole of Ore
gon. Statement No. 4 English Goods.
The statement concerning the Eng
lish goods is really so ridiculous
that I ought not to mention It. I
may say that every one understand
ing goods Is just taking a laugh up
their sleeve. One man yesterday-
called me on the street ana spoke of j
it (I may say that he was a woolen
drummer) and in mentioning the,
matter he said "If Hums saw a '
statement of that description, i am !
noi surprised at the remark when)
he said (Hi, the gift the Urd would
gle us, lo see ourselves us ttheis
see us.'" This man makes the,
slalrmeiil that the good iua.1 In1
England ere not belli r lliaii ui'

turn of $750,000 that Is, 75 cents
per yard. . There la not a place in the
world where you can go and buy
a really decent (not high grade)
piece of virgin wool goods for
double that amount, not even in Eng.
land. So you may see what his
statement Is worth.
Statemeut No. 5, Percentage of
Wool Used in Mills. This woolen
mill manager makes the statement
that Oregon uses a greater percent
age of fleece wool than any mills lu
the whole country. I would like,
If you will allow me, to Inform him
that there are many mills both In
England and America that do not
use an ounce of anything but virgin
wools. There are no shoddy or
mungo used. So there is another
statement that not only Oregon
wool but the whole of America needs
protection against.
Statemeut No. 6 -Evil Reports

stateiueii' is a cap that is evidently
meant for me anyway It fits go
well that I am going to wear It.
