One of the political possibilities of tb'e near future la the election of a woman as United States senator from Colorado Women have long enjoyed suffage In Colorado and members of their sex have held many public offices. One of the ablest and most active of their leaders is Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker. She has been the director of a numb er of reform movements and has as sisted In numerous others She U credited with having done more than any one else In bringing about gener al suffrage in Colorado. Mrs. Decker is now put forward as .a candidate for United States Sena tor. Her friends have started an ed ucational campaign with this end in view They propose to try to have her elected next August as the successor of Senator Hughes, deceased. If they fall in this they will endeavor to have her chosen as the successor of Sena tor Guggenheim, whose term expires March 4, 1913, and who has just an nounced that he will aot be a can didate for re-election. Mrs Decker will be elected if the women of Colorado are united in their support At the " outside , she would reed only the help of compara tive few men voters. These she would would be certain of getting. So it is not at all improbable that the tradi tions of the senate will receive a rude Jar by the election of a woman to membership In that august body. FARMING IN CANAL ZONE. The department ot agriculture has been makiag an investigation concern in agricultural possibilities in the Panama canal Zone, and advance in formation shows that along the Pa nama canal lies a splendid field for the scientific farmer. In the canal xone operations are limited to the meager efforts of the native and West Indian population. They display their efforts In patch farming, carried on principally with the aid of the machete and the sharp ened stick. In addition to these tools the West Indians generally have a spade and a grubbing hoe. Against such competition an Ameri can farmer would be certain to find a good market In truck-farming. Of course he would face competition from the farmers of the South, who could send their products to the zone at a small cost. But with the de velopment, of commerce along the canal he would have the advantage of being on the scene of competition. At any rate the department has per formed Its duty in making public an opportunity for those anxious to avail themselves of it. REDUCING REPRESENTATION. Although the subject of reducing the representation of the Southern states in the national convention was discussed by the Republican National Committee at its meeting in Wash- . Ington, the convention alone can take action in the matter. The membership of the Chicago convention on June 18 next will be 1,064, of which the South will nave over 230. Senator Bourne, of Oregon, president of the National Progressive Repablican League, is the leader in " the movement to reduce the represen tation of the South and is understood to favor the change advocated four ) years ago by Representative Burke, of .Pennsylvania, speaking for the mi nority of the committte on rules. The Burke plan, would give every state four delegates-at-large and one for : each 10,000 votes cast for the Repub ' licau electors. In the convention of 1968 seventeen states - favored too Burke plan, and an effort is to he . made to adopt it at the coneution to 1 f held nxt June. s . OUR P08TMASTER GENERAL Br bis achievements Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock h shown hlniHelf to be one of the best equipped officials ever at the head of that Important department. In view ot the vast extent ot the de partment's activities and its multltud lous responsibilities, it would not be unfulr to his predecessors to say that Mr. Hitchcock is the greatest man who ha ever occupied the post. The selection ot Mr. Hitchcock led to much critlcUm from Democratic sources because of the fact that he was at the time chairman ot the Re publican national committee. It was contended that his appointment was purely a political one and . that his choice was a reward or his services iu the political field. The prediction was freely made that under Mr. Hitchcock the postofflce department would become a political machine. The record of Mr. Hitchcock is an effective answer to his critics and an emphatic endorsement of the wisdom of his Selection. He has been pro gressive, but not at the expense ot economy. In two years a deficit of $17,479,700 has been wiped out and replaced with a surplus ot $,219,118. Economy and efficiency have been the watchwords and the abolishment of the deficit has been accompanied with the exaltation of the service ot the department to the highest possl ble degree of efficiency. A crowning glory of the Hitchcock administration has been the estab lishment of the postal savings bank, which now have deposits aggregating $11,000,000, and which. It la predicted. will soon reach the enormous sum of $50,000,000, a sum that but tor these banks would find its way to banks in other countries. Mr. Hitchcock. In his report, re news his recommendation in favor of the establishment of the parcels post. from which there ha been such uni versal demand throughout the coun try as a relief from the exorbitant rates charged by the express com panies. Revision of the postal rates, with a view to reducing present cost to Uncle Sam's patrons is also urged by Mr. Hitchcock. All in all, the report of the post master general is a splendid record of noteworthy accomplishments, a tri bute to his genius as an executive and abundant justification of the wis dom that inspired his appointment. ' RED MEN ON INCREASE. Contrary to general sup", pltion Hie Indian race of .he United States Is .kh diminishing in nurnhoie, but in creasing, according t" ceuus figures. In 1V10 the Indlii ;.':i,laUon of this country was 305,000, compared with. 43.000 In 1890, and 270,000 In 1900. This does not present any Im mediate prospect of the race being doomed to extinction. Of the Red Men residing in the United States, 117,000 or more than one-third occupy the Indian territory in Oklahoma. The survivors of the civilized tribes of Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickawas and Semlnoles have established there, for two thirds of a century, schools, churches, mines, factories, mercantile houses, banks, and have adopted methods and aids to the best civilization. They have also accumulated much wealth. The Indian .may yet become a factor in the civilization which has dominat ed the land of his ancestors. COW EXPERT GIVES MICE ON MILKING CORVALLIS, Doe. 30. Inquiries as to the proper method of milklUR a fresh cow have led E. R. Stockwell of the dairy department of the Ore gon Agricultural College to make the following statement regarding the care of the cow after calving. Milking Is generally considered such a simple operation that any com mon laborer Is supposed to be ablo to milk," says Mr. Stockwell. "There la however, an Immense difference In milkers. One milker may be able to get twenty per cent more milk than another. "The milker should not be allowed to excite or worry the cow by loud talking or abuse of any kind. A cow should be milked quietly and quickly. As she Is largelr a creature ot habit, spec'al care should be taken to pet all the stripping. The first milk drawn may contain as little as one per cent of fat, while the last runs from six to ten per cent. "In milking, the whole hand should be used, closing first that part next to the udder. Then the milk Is forc ed past the sphincter muscle by closing the remainder of the hand. The cow's teats should always te dry when milked. Wetting the teats is not only a dirty, nuny nabit, cut it also allows the teats to chap and be come sore In bad weather. If there is difficulty In milking a cow dry a small amount ot vasallne may be rubbed on the hands; It la beneficial rather than harmful both In a sani tary way and In its effects on the teats. "The Mure of many a' promising dairy cow has been mined by Im proper milking soon after calving. The dairy cow has been abnormally developed to produce large quantities of milk; consequently certain of her organs, such as the mannary glands, have become greatly enlarged and weakened Just before and after par turetlon, due probably to the secret ing of large quantities of milk. "The art. or science, whichever wo may call It, of milking can only te attained by those who are willing to make a study of each Individual cow, of her disposition, dairy temperament and physical condition. First, as to the care of the cow previous to par turetion. She should not receive much grain, but Just enough bran mash to keep her slightly laxative. No succulent feed should be fed, as It stimulates milk secretion. "After calving the calf should be allowed to take the first mil, ant when It has had all it will take, finish the milking with the calf still near. If the udder Is hard and ciked, a good massaging with the pMrp of the hand, with or without lard, or, bet ter, with camphorated ointment, will relieve almost any congested condi tion. The breaking up of tue udder may be greatly hastened by the suck ing of a hungry calf, because of hc kneading It gives the udder with Its nose. "The most Important things to keep in mind are: First, do not fetd succulent feeds previous Jo part'ire tion or for a few days afterward" second, milk the cow three times dally after the calf has taken the first milk: third. If the udder Is in a con gested condition, massage It and al low the calf to suck frequently the first day." PEACE IS BANQUET aims TAFT REPLIES TO CRITICS ANO MAKES FINE SPEECH ON POLICY. ECHOES OF DISSENSION SOON DIE President Well Guarded At He Makes Way To Hall Charge Of Inconsistency Is Denied. NEW YORK. Dec. 30. Precedod by dissentluna which seemed for a lime to threaten a climax anything but pa cific, the peace banquet tonight prov ed in realization everything that It name Implied lu It attendant condi tions. President Taft. the guest of honor and speaker ot the evening, while ar guing for the pending arbitration trea. tics between the United State and Great Britain and France, went furth er tonight than heretofore and re plied specifically to criticisms re cently made against the principles embodied In these treaties. He also answered the charge of inconsistency Iodised against advocates of the ar bitration treaties who did not favot arbitration In the difficulty between the United States and Russia. "Those of us who are In favor oi these treaties have been criticised as Inconsistent because we did not In voke arbitration in the recent differ ence between. Russia," said Mr. Taft. "I am not eutlrely willing to speak as frankly as I might ot that, because my tongue 1b tied In a slight way by what we hope for In future negotiations.- "All I can say is that If you will read the great argument of Klihu Root on the question of why the treaty should be terminated and why arbi tration would not do, I would be con tent to stand on his exhibit and ex planation of that The truth is that the treaty It self contain contractual obligations on the part of the United State to recognize the doctrine of uonxpat- rlatlon and recognize the right of Russia to say that the naturalized Russian citizens In the United States should not lose their allegiance to Russia and could be punished for be- onmln nnturalized citizens. The free ident was well guarded as he entered the hall. RELIABLE DEFENDERS OF OUR COUNTRY, THE SOLDIER St 5N V 1 1 QiMmniMd MUr lit T4 I ft. fcvrlftl h , M, k? ark i.

(To the Edi tor of the Enterprise). 1 have read with considerable Interest the articles of Messrs. Dlnilck, Ilackett and U'lieu on the single tax.

The single tnx will not give a square deal while the plan of classifying properties can he adjusted to give a square deal. . It Is trim thnt the cltlen who buys Dronertr to let It Increase In value AUTO TRIP TO CAPITAL OF In ten fifty counties A CITY ABSORBING A STATE The population of the State of Illi nois is being rapidly absorbed by the City of Chicago. The rapid growth of the Windy City is making telling inroads on the rural section. years that ended in 1910 lost 55,944 in popula tion. Only 134,690 live in the rural regions or towas not incorporated. The total gain of the state In popula tion during the decade was 817,041, of which half Is credited to Chicago. In 1890 the rural population of Chi cago was 55.2 per cent of the whole in 1890; in 1900 it was 45.7 per cent, and in 1910 it was 38.3 per cent. Chicago is complaining of the high cost of living. What else could be expected when the agricultural activ ities are being abandoned for city life? The President intimated in a speech the other day that he thinks his func tion in government is just as sacred as Is that of the Senate. This is not likely to surprise anybody but the senators. To them it will sound line presumption. TURN OVER A NEW LEAF on the first of the year by open ing a bank account. A bank account subject to check is one of the conveniences of modern business. New accounts are welcome at this bank where modern facilities and methods prevail.

The most that any motorist of the Pacific Slope acknowledges winter's approach is perhaps to add a pint or so of alcohol to the water in his radiator. But, except in South ern California, it must be admitted that this season of the year sees much less touring than in summer. Even a motorist cannot be forever away from his business; and besides, If one is always touring, when shall be have time to develop his photos and plan new routes. Hence the winter lull. Just now one of the chief topics of discussion in the automobile clubs Is the Pacific Highway Association's proposed run from San Diego to th City of Mexico tor a gold trophy. This run was announced some time ago; but the announcement came too late in the season to allow the trip to be made. At that time, too Mexi co was In the throes of revolution, which wohld have made it decidedly unpleasant for the driver who ven tured across her borders. The rules of the tour are much the same as for the Pacific Highway's Hazelton run won by P. E. Sands. One clause, however, forbids contes tants driving more than thirty miles north of the boundary after leaving San Diego. Roads in the Latin re public are said to be in very fair shape; and the avowed policy of President Francisco Madero is for highway improvement, active steps having been taken to this end. After crossing the border at Tia Juana, the route would likely run through the provinces of Sonora, Chl hauhua, Durango, Zacatecas, Aguas Calientes, Jalisco, Guanajato, and Queretaro to Mexico City. It is more than two thousand miles long. CRANGE WORKING FOR ROAD MEASURE (Continued from page 1.) large, no bonds will be voted to carry the work on. "Of the checks which the State En gineer may have over county road work to insure efficiency, we believe the grange measures are ample. First, before the contract is signed be tween the county and the builder of a road, said contract must be approved by the State Engineer. Second, all permanent road work must be under the supervision of a practlcat road builder appointed by the County Court, but said appointment must be approved by the Highway Engineer.. In these two Instances only win me grange recognize the authority of the state in carrying put county road work." Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S C ASTO R I A !! BY WAVE;0NE DEAD SAN FKAXCISCO. Dec. 30.

Oregon City subject careful consideration I do not favor ibu so-calleu single tax. xseuu er do I favor the preseut system, as It stauds In our statutes. The single tax people propose to ta six kinds of things, land at its unimproved value, water powers, nat ural deposits, natural growth, other natural resources, and corporation franchises and right of way. Let us see how the Blngle tax will work out One of my neighbors here bus 22 seres of improved land assess ed at $40 and 44 acres unimproved assessed $10. His prune drier and dwelling is assessed at $40, a total assesment or $1,430. Ills rate of tax Is 20 mills, bo he paid $28 00. Under single tax he would be assessed. $000, and would pay $23.12. Let us take a comparative exam pie. I own 100 acres in Road District No. 49, assessed at $800. There are no Improvements. My rate was 20 mills aud I paid $20.80 in tax. Under singe tax 1 would be assessed $SU0 but my rate would be 45.526 mills and I would pay $30.42 an Increase ot $15.62. I do not object paying the Increase while it lies unimproved, but I expect to begin Improving this new year. I do not see how I could gel an income of more than $200 from it lu 1912. Suppose John Due owns 160 acres In the same school district and road district. He has 80 acres of linproveu land assessed at $15 an acre aud 80 neres of unimproved at $5. Ills house Is asseBser at $500; barn $300; Impllments $200; team $300; other livestock $300, other improvements $200, a total of $3,400. At 26 mills he pays $88.40. Under single tax he pays the same tax as 1 pay, $36.42, as his assessment is the same,$S00. 1 pay 18 21.1000 per cent of my income of $200 In taxes, but John Doe wno has an Income or Ij.uuu pays ui.tow of one per cent of his income, in other words the single tax increases th burden of taxation on those least able to pay and decreases it on muse moBt able to pay. Tnis is tne great est Injustice ot the single tax. The single tax aavocaies say mey wish to lay a heavier portion ot tne tax burden on the speculative lanu holdlnes. They seem to assume that all speculative holdings are unimprov ed. But such is not the case. Here at Garfield is a place nearly all ira- nmved. with house and barn, which Is held by a Bpeculator. There Is no one on the place and it is producing nothing, yet under single tax it will pay less tax than now. I desire to say now what changes I would make In the present tax sys tem. First I would exempt from taxa tion all dwelling houses and barns that are occupied, also all such struc tures as are built to adorn or beautify without profit to the owner. Next I would classify properties for assess ment purposes. Let us assume that we increase the assessment on specu lativeholdlngs and franchise corpora tions two-thirds and decrease the as sessment on farmers lands, farm stock and implements, improved city lots and Improvements on city lots not otherwise exempted, and merchants' good a one-third. Under this plan, If I do not Im prove, and use my 1C0 acres, my as sessment would Increase from $800 to $1,333.33, and my tax from $20.80 to $34.67, which Is $1.07 less than un der single tax, but If I Improve and cultivate some portion of the land my assessment will decrease by one third to $533 33 1-3 and my tax will be $13.87. Would not this be an In centive to me to Improve my land when I know that I will save $20.80, which Is Interest on $2G0 at 8 per cent per annum and I, would have the income from my Improvements be sides. My neighbor was assessed $1,320 on bis land and $110 on his buildings, one of which is a prune drier. He will be assessed still on the drier, but Is exempt on the dwelling now assessed at $30. This gives a total of $1,400, which Is to be reduced one-third, or $933.33. At 20 mills his tax is $18 67, nearly five dollars less than under single tax. In the case of John Doe he would be exempt $500 on his house and $300 on his barn which leaves his assessment $2,600. This reduced one-third is $1,733.33. At 26 mills his tax is $45.07. Lying Just south of my land Is C40 acres belonging tn the Southern Paci fic. I presume it Is assessed at $5 an acre. If not It should be. This Is an assessment of $3,200 with a tax last year of $83.20. Under single tax it would pay $145.68, under the sys tem I propose the tax would be $138. 67, but If the railroad company sold the land to home builders who re sided on It, the tax would Be $61 46. Let us see how this scheme of as sessment would affect the Improved specnlatlve holding I spoke of. I do not know present assessment Let ns assume that 30 acres are improved something for nothing If he does noth lug to create tht vulue. It Is some thing the people of the community who aro Improving the farms, ronds, schools, etc., or lu the city Improving the lots and streets have actually given to him and he has no reasonable how to vote and might give him a siiiall slice of that $ 16.776 for his as sistance.

F. M. GILL MR. HYDE ANSWERED. Morning Enterprise. To tho Edi tor: I could not help feeling amused at the article of V. R. Hyde In reply to my article on the Single Tax prop osition. He doesn't know how to vote himself, so he admits. He reminds me of the story of the boy who was selling the pups He went to a Metho dist, first offering to sell, and claim ing they were Methodist pups nnd asking $2 apiece for them. A few days later he went to a Baptist and was asking $3 apiece for them. The Baptist Inquired how It was that a few days before he asked $2 apiece, and claiming th.-y were Methodist pups, now he wanted $3 apiece and claimed they were Baptist pups. The boy's answer was; "Oh they've got their eyes open now." It Is too bad Mr. Hyde's eyes are not open. I am of tho opinion that Mr. Hyde does not pay any tax and never has and so he is not concerned as to whether we land owners pay all the taxes, or whether the capitalist pays his share. Mr. U'Ren can tell him er did I say anything that woutn leaa to the belief that I did not think the assessors had been doing their full duty, und h knows It I didn't know that Judge Dlmlrk had declared war on U'llen and his methods or I should not have "hulled In' and I'm done.
