NO PROFIT IN- HOPS Crop Is No Longer Desirable for Oregon Farmers. -; MARKETS ARE CUT OFF Prohibition Agitation lii America and England lemoraIizes In dustry and Large Growers Alone Can ' Keep Vp. Since the first hop root was planted in Oregon 25 years ago. the industry has grown steadily until the state has become .the -leading hop .producer in the . Union, raising about one-half of the. annual American supply. Oregon may continue to be the first of the hop states, but it is not likely that such DEATH CLAIMS RESPECTED t t ticKVAls CITIZEN. The Late Thomas Cutsforth. GERVAIS. Or.. March 10. (Spe cial.) Thomas Cutsforth, a well known resident of this section died at the home, of his son, Irvin K. Cutsforth, Friday morning, from the effects of a paralytic stroke and old , age. Mr. Cutsforth was born In York shire, .England. January 28, 1S23. He came to the United States In 1844, settling in Michigan, where he later married Miss Sarah Harrison, who survives htm. In 1898 he cam'e to Oregon, settling on North Howell prairie. He left seven sons and one daugh ter, all of whom were at his bedside when death occurred. He left 26 grandchildren and five great -grandchildren. The surviving children are: Joseph M., Thomas H., John H., Irvine E., Jarvls E.. ail of Gervais, and George H. and Frank H.t of Riddles, Or., and Mrs. Ellen Mc Donald, of Poynette, Wis. bumper crops will be raised in the next few years as in the past. Th hop trade has lately received some hard jolts. Instead of being the most re munerative crop, as it once was, hops are now the most unprofitable. The small farmers are being forced out of business and only the large planters, who grow hops on scientific principles can remain. Overproduction in America, resulting from the high prices of a few years ago, has nearly killed the Industry. Prohibition in the East and South has destroyed the market for hops in that section, and now England, which has been depended on to take most of the American surplus, is getting ready to close her doors against our exports. The cheaply grown hops of the Pacific Coast have nearly bankrupted the Eng lish growers, and they are demanding of their government an import duty that will protect them by stifling the competition. Should they succeed in their efforts, the American exportation of hops will be reduced to a nominal quantity. British Licensing Bill. Even if this import tax Is refused the situation will not be cleared, for an other British political measure is over hanging the market which if enacted, will eventually deprive the American hopgrowers of their best market. This is the licensing bill which is now be fore Parliament and which, if it be comes a law, will put 30,000 saloons in Britain out of business. A London cabie to the New York Evening Post of February 27 said: Henry Asqutth, Chancellor of the Ex chequer, introduced the licensing bill in the House of Commons this afternoon. This is the principal government measure for the present session of parliament, and owing to the vast money and labor Interests involved it is attracting widespread . interest. The capital invested in licensed property In this country Is not less than $1,200,000,000, while more than 2.000,000 peons are employed in the traffic. The Chancellor, in presenting the bill, de clared that in the opinion of the govern ment all effective reform In this field must aim at the attainment of two- principal points, namely, a progressive reduction of the ex!esslve facilities now allowed for the retail sale of intoxicating liquors, and the gradual complete recovery by the state, with due regard for existing Interests, of its dominion over and Its property in a mo nopoly which it had improvidently allowed to slip from its control. The plans proposed for the attainment of these objects were detailed at considerable length. Briefly, the bill .provides for the compulsory reduction within a specified period, and on a uniform scale, of the num ber of regular saloon licenses throughout the country. The number of saloons to be licensed Is based mainly upon the density of the population. In cities it is proposed to allow on saloon ;for every "50 persons, and in the country districts one saloon for every 4O0 persons. This regulation, it is estimated, will wipe out in the neighborhood of ;t0.000 licenses, about one-third of the present total. Knglish Growers Demand Relief. The deplorable condition of the Eng lish hop industry has been brought to the attention of the public In the num erous meetings in the hop growing counties, at which appeals have been made to the government for relief. The London Daily Express of February 20 contains the following report of the Herefordshire meeting: Herefordshire hopgrowers, who supply one-fouy h of the British crop, are feeling the effect of foreign competition just as keenly as are the growers in Kent, and hundreds of acres of land which for years have been devoted to the industry are going out of cultivation. At the annual meeting of the Hereford shire Chamber of Agriculture yesterday the per to us condition of the industry was dis cussed, and the following resolution was passed: . This meeting of the Herefordshire Cham ber of Agriculture ie glad to see that the present deplorable state of the English hop industry has been acknowledged by the present government and by the House of Commons, but i of the oppinion that the . . ; f ' j I time is ripe for action rather than for an Inquiry, which may only shelve the ques-r tion. or at the best cause fatal delay. This meeting respectfully submits that hopgrowers have no doubts about the causes of the present unexampled depression, and would urge upon the government that the remedies required have ben submitted to them by the unanimous resolutions of vari ous agricultural associations in the hop growing districts. Further, that if there must be another inquiry before action is taken, this meeting urges that it shall be an Instruction to the committee that the case is very urgent, and that tt should endeavor to terminate tta in quiry and report before Easter. Mr. Parry said a duty on Imported hops was absolutely necessary in order to safe guard the industry and to give confidence to the home market. "What the English industry ia Buffering from today Is the free importation of for eign hops, not the fact that foreign hops came in unmarked." he said. "Th danger now is that the matter might be shelved, and in the meantime the hop industry will go to the dogs." Pinches Small Growers. "Unless something is done very shortly the whole of the small hopgrowers of the county will be squeezed out' said Mr. D. Edwards, "for maty hundreds of acres have gone out of cultivation this year." Mr. J. T. Davies said the hop question was one which ought not to be treated as a. polltfcal question. Farmers ought to pull together and bring pressure to bear on the -government. "A small duty on imported hops would make practically no difference to the price of beer," he added, "as the value of the hope put In beer is only, one-third of a penny per gallon." , In printed replies to questions in the House of Commons yesterday Mr. IJoyd George stated that the proportion of Imports of hops from ,the United States to our total supply has varied considerably since 1R83. The lowest percentage was in 188tf, when it was only 3.94. and the highest percentage was 32. 8 in 1S96, while laat year it was 33.56. The total area under hops in 1(M7 was 26,351 acres less than In 1S78- Com i n g Crop Xot Xeeded . The Daily Kxpress of the succeeding issue, in an article headed "The Ruined Hop Industry," said: Fresh evidence reaches the Express daily of the deplorable condition of the English hopgrowing .industry. "Bad as the situation is thought to be by moat hopgrowers"." a leading London hop factor writes. "I doubt if they more than half realize how serious the position actually is. "Most brewers have IS months' stocks of hops now, and the foreigner can easily , sup ply them with enormous additional quanti ties. Therefore with the present vast in crease In the hop acreage in Oregon and other. places It looks as If the 190S British crop will not be wanted." At a large meeting of farmers and others held at Northiam Market recently a reso lution was unanimously carried urging the government to take Immediate action to save the hop industry and not to delay matters by an inquiry. . . That the production of hops in America mutt be lessened is a foregone conclusion. It is also evident that the business will eventually be in the hands of the large growers, who can produce this commodity at a minimum cost. Labor saving appliances will play an important part in hop farming in the future, if hops are to be farmed at all. In this connection, E. Clemens Horst. of California, the largest hop grower lu the world, whose several yards produce about 30,000 bales, an nually, has invented a hop-picking ma chine which will pick his entire crop at one-quarter of the previous cost. This machine was sent to Australia to be tested and word has been received that the trial was an entire success. With all the odds against him, it looks as if the small hopgrower on the Pacific Coast will have to change his crop to something more profitable than hops. Fortunately, there are dozens of other products he can turn his atten tion to that will not be affected by legislation against the saloons or In genius and costly labor-saving devices. SINGLE TAX A MISTAKE AVriter Quotes Decision Exempting Franchises Kroin Taxation. CANBT, Or., March 8. (To the Editor.)

The city, of Seattle, as appellant, carried the case up to the Supreme Court In an effort to force the Seattle Electric Com pany to pay taxes for improvement of West Lake avenue, over which the electric company operates a streetcar line. The Council provided that the street should be improved and that : the property own ers who would benefit mn?t' by such Im provement should help r ' the expenses of improvement. The electric company was assessed 9250O as its hare. because it would be one of the principal benefactors. The electric company refused to pay and won a favorable decision In court. The Supreme Court upheld the decMon of the lower court, setting a precedent in the State of Washington that a land tax can not reach a. franchise. This clearly shows what the "singte iaxers" of Oregon are trying to do In their effort to foist a land tax upon the people of Oregon. If the single-tax measure should become a taw the same condition would arise in this state exemption from taxation of franchises and special privileges Is anyone stupid enough to believe that the streetcar, gas. telephone and telegraph companies are not going to escape taxation If there is a possible way to do ao? 1 should like to ask the members of the Ore gon Tax Reform Association If they would be willing to advocate a land tax in this state, knowing that it would exempt fran chise holders and special privilege? Le me ask them further: Are not the corpora tions rn line , for th passage of this law, having been advised by their attorneys that It will exempt their franchises from taxation ? If the Washington Supreme Court de cision is founded in law, the same de cision would follow In Oregon. The gas. street railway, express, telegraph and tele phone companies would not only escape -taxation on their personal property, but also on their franchises. The tax reformers declare that they want this measure- passed in order that labor may receive its Just reward and that mo nopoly of land may be broken. Would these labor leaders lend their influence to a movement that has for its prime purpose the exemption of special privileges? 1 would like to know if this is their real In tention? If it is not. then they are blindly promoting a dangerous measure one that will prove a boomerang to the interests they are seeking to serve. I do not believe that the rank and file of the labor element In Oregon realizes the disastrous effect this law would have If it were placed on the statute books. The laboring man is often misled. I do not believe that the labor element of San Kran eisco knew what is was doing when It elected Eugene Schmita Mayor of that town. Their work was bad. not intention ally, but by mistake. As a friend and member of organized labor, I should re gret exceedingly to see Portland labor men make the mistake that was made in San Francisco by aiding corporations through the instrumentality of grafters. I am a member of the International Typographical Union,, one of the largest and the most influential labor organizations in the world, tut my doctrine is that Justice shall be done all men. Let me ask the laboring men of Portland and other cities in the state to consider well this single-tax measure before voting on it. Be sure that your action will be for the betterment of the conditions of labor and not a blind play into the hands of the money power. I am for a square deal. GEORGE W. DIXON. NEGROES SHOT BY RIDERS One Killed and Wonten and Children Wounded In Kentucky. PADUCAH, Ky., March 10. One hun dred masked night-riders rode into the town of Birmingham, Marahall County, late last night, shot six negroes, one of them, it is believed, fatally, and whipped live others. The riders took possession of the town and shot into negro cabins in the place. In one of these John Scruggs, his wife and three children and a grand daughter were struck by bullets. Scruggs is probably fatally wounded. The riders then took Ave other negroes' to the banks of the Tennessee Rtver, where they whipped them. After warning about 25 other negroes to leave the place, the masked men rode away. The raid fol lowed a warning of two weeks ago to all negroes to leave Birmingham.
