It Is easy to theorize over the tar
iff revision, to point to the three nun'
dred odd reductions made by the Sea
ate and House committees, to Insist
that there Is a revision downward,
but there are certain fundamental
facts which cannot be obcured or ex-
plained away and which are only
facts of vital Interest to the consumer,
Apparently through more or less of
an accident, the Treasury department
has been led to make public figures
which are of striking Importance. A
table prepared by a newspaper corres
pondent enumerated some forty ar-
tides which the comparatively poor
man is compelled to buy, and applied
to the treasury for a statement of the
exact amount of duty collected on
these Items under the Dlngley law,
the House tariff bill and the Senate
bill. All of the Items are actual neces
sities. It Is shown that the duties
are extraordinarily high and that
practically no reductions are made by
either of the pending tariff measures
In most instances the tariff has not
been changed at all on those things
the consumer is most often compelled
to buy. Did space permit we would be
glad to reproduce the entire table,
Under the circumstances we are com
pelled to content ourselves with cit
ing a few instances. On men's sum
mer sult3 retailing at $16 the tariff
Is $4.76. In other words the purchas
er gets $10.24 worth of suit and con
tributes $4.76 over and above value
be receives as a tribute to the Am
erican manufacturer. On a winter
suit retailing at the same price he
gets $9.36 worth of suit and his trib
ute to the manufacturer is 15.04. If
he buys a $15 cloak for his wife, he
pays $5.64 over and above Its value
as tribute. If he buys her a cotton
dress for $10, the tribute is $2.55.
On a tapestry rug for which he pays
$15, the duty forces the price up $5.16
without the tariff he could buy the
rug ror $s.4. When he buys a ham
for 15 cents a pound, he pays on
every pouud 5 cents tribute to the
packer. When his wife buys granu
lated sugar at 5 1-4 cents a pound
she pays 1 3-4 cents tribute to the
sugar trust. If a man buys a $15
watch he paid $2.60 tribute under the
Dlngley law, but will have to pay
$2.85 under the new tariff. If the
farmer or householder wishes to put
a tin roof on his dwelling or barn
he will pay 1 1-5 cents a pound duty
for all the tin he uses. On a $7 din
ner set the duty is $1.68. On an iron
cook stove selling for $15 the duty
is about $6.75. On woolen underwear
selling at $1.50 per garment the duty
is 41 cents. On all of these things,
which so seriously increase the cost
of living and render the tariff so ser
ious a burden to the poor man, no
reduction whatever Is contemplated
by either the House or Senate, in
fact intelligent study of the pro
posed reductions demonstrates the
fact that they will save money only
to the manufaoturers whose finished'
products will be as highly protected
ns evtr, to that ihe consume, is cer
ium t'i ii-celve no benlflt whatever
iiciu uie ill publican ta-'ff revision.
All the figures here cited were pro
pared by the experts of the United
States Treasury and made public by
the Secretary of the Treasury, so that
there can be no dispute as to their
nccuracy.
It is suggested that the Georgia
Railroad will soon get the name of
the Color Line; if It does not restore
peace in its territory ere long.
ALDRIGH
GUARANTY OF BANK DEPOSITS
The cause is growing. Oklahoma,
Nebraska and Texas now have com
pulsory systems for the procectlon of
depositors In state banks. In Texas
the state bank can choose between
joining the compulsory system and
giving individual security, but so far
every bank that has acted has decid
ed upon the guaranty system. In Kan
sas and South Dakota voluntary sys
tems have been adopted, while Colo
rado, Arkansas and Indiana the guar
anty bill passed one bronch of the
legislature.
Attorney General Wickersham has
helivered an opinion to the effect that
national banks are at liberty to In
sure their depositors, and insurance
companies are already being organiz
ed for that purpose. The fight made
last year bus had its influence, and In
spite of Republican opposition to the
plan, the protection of depositors Is
coming. The Republican leaders have
taken the side of the bg financiers,
but even the big financiers will In
the end be compelled to yield to the
just demand of the depositors for
security: And so unother Democratic
doctrine Is being vindicated. The
Democratic party has something to be
proud of when It can, even in defeat,
control public sentiment and force Its
ideas upon a reluctant opposition.
Commoner.
Senator Shively, of Indiana, deliver
ed his maiden speech the other day
and he made good use of his time, He
argued that under the maximum and
minimum provision of that bill the
real tariff is likely to be 25 per cent
higher than the schedules which are
now being discussed. If that is true
the Republicans will have more to
answer for than was at first supposed,
The Grant's Pass and Josephiue
county booklet is now in process of
distribution and it will be of great
service to that section as It give
very careful written description of
the industrial interest of both tlty
and country. It is a well prepared
and comprehensive article on the
Rogue River valley; Its climate, coil,
productions and general conditions.
Lebanon's Bony Fair was a great
success in every particular.
LARGE CROWDS
ATTENDING A. Y. P.
OPENING DAY'S ATTENDANCE
REACHED A TOTAL OF
OVER 90,000.
In
Addition to Special Days, Novel

Till October 16, The
Closing Day.
The simple tribute to Miss Helen
Gould's generosity toward soldiers
und sailors paid by a private soldier
who died recently and made nor bis
loateo as "the friend of all soldiers,"
will find an echo In the hearts of all
the men In both branches of the ser
vice who have received such inesti
mable benefit at her hands. Miss
Could has advised the War Depart
ment that she Intends to use the mon
ey in furnishing a room In the new
portion of the naval branch of the
Young Men's Christian Association
at Brooklyn. This part of the build
ing, the gift of Mi'B. Russel Sage, has
just been dedicated. Miss Gould in
tends to have a tablet placed on the
door of the room to the memory of
"'rlvato Barrett, and explaining by
hat means the room was finished.
iccordlng to recent Washington
patches the administration Is much
iTied over the conditions existing
Cuba. Nothing has oceured, bo
ir, which would require interference
by the United Slates, but evidently
there exists great anxiety In admin
istration circles.
If President Taft does nothing else
of momont during his administration
than place the affairs of this govern
ment on a business basis and check
the extravagance of recent years ho
will have rendered a service to his
country of encalcuable value.
The Alaska-Yulion-paclflc ExdosI-
tlon has jumped into popularity bv
leaps and bounds from the moment
the gates opened to the public the
morning of June 1.
The first day's count showed that
more than ninety thousand Dersons
had passed through the gates. Since
the opening the attendance has been
far above all expectations, or esti
mates made by Exposition experts
based on the popularity of Seattle and
the surrounding country.
The first day was a typical Seattle
crowd and the holiday spirit prevail
ed. There was not even the slightest
hitch anywhere, the exposition made
good every promise and now the fair
that is ready will be tho show place
of the paclllc until the gales close
October 1C.
There is no best time to visit tho
Exposition. Every day witnesses
some big foal ure. Airships soar high
above the tullest buildings on the
grounds, uie my ai resit, where Fun
King reigns supreme, Is simply lined
with attractions. Some are education
al. Others amusing.
The Midway Is the night life of
the big show and ihe band concert a
and Illuminations of tho buildings In
the central court are even more beau
tiful than was ever dreamed of by
the men who planned the electrical
effects.
At night the Cascades and Geyser
llaslu where the waters, colored by
hidden lights, dash and foam hold the
attention of the crowds for hours,
limes Band concerts In the Music Pa
vllllon are alone a feature. Such
bands ns are seldom engaged for an
exposition and the A.-Y.-P. offers a
rare musical treat.
There Is much to see in the build
ings on the grounds that Is new to
Expositions and the display of the
United States Government Is holding
attention of visitors to Seattle who
have never seen all tho big exposi
tions of an International character.
The daily programme includes pnr-
ades by the troops, athletic events In
the stadium, bayonet, exercise by In
tniitry, exliuuon onus hy Uie army
and navy, life saving drill by govern
ment life savers, demonstration of
mine rescue work, baloon (lights and
other features that will occupy the
attention of the visitors every hour
of he day from 9 o'clock In the morn
ing until the gates close at midnight.

INCOME TAX
At'TOCHAT IS READY FOR ANY
MEAXS TO WIN.
MAY RETIRE FROM SENATE
Tell Protected Interests Income Tax
Would Require Slushing of
Duties.
Washington Although Senator
Aldrlch has Indicated the tactics he
intends to pursue to kill the income
tax amendment to the tariff bill In
the senate, and although he has
demonstrated his ability to get votes
enough to accomplish his purpose,
those senators who sincerely believe
In Income tax legislation and who
have had the courage to stand by
their convictions still hope against
hope that at the critical time they
will muster enough strength to se
cure the adoption of their pet meas
ure. The Income tax amendment, In the
Judgment of experienced men, is
dead. To defeat this one amend
ment Aldrlch would go to any
length. His reputation Is really at
stake. If the Income tax amend
ment should be adopted by the sen
ate, it would be accepted by the
house and would become the law of
the land. Aldrlch has decreed that
this amendment shall not be adopt
ed by the senate. He expects Boon
to retire from the senate and ne
wants to retire with victory, not de
feat written across his standard.
Aldrlch and those who stand with
him insist that the pew tariff bill
will produce ample revenue; if it
does not, it will be ample time to
take up the Income tax next session.
Moreover, they contend that if the
Income tax were adopted some of the
protected schedules of the tariff bill
would have to be cut beyond the
protective figure, else there would be
too much revenue.
On account of the progress made
lost week, senate leaders are predict
ing that the tariff bill will be voted
upon In the senate by June 19, and
congress win be ready to adjourn
before July 4.
