viding for a duty on sacks.
Following a conference in this city.
officers of the association, including
State Senator C. A. Barrett, president;
H. J. Taylor, vice-president, and Jesse
O. Hales, secretary, sent the followins
telegram -to Senators Lane and Cham
berlain, and Representatives Sinnott,
Lafferty and Hawley:
"We understand the proposed tariff
bill places burlaps and jute cloth on
the free list and proposes a 15 per cent
duty on grain bags. The differential
proposed is excessive. The small pro
portion of sacks manufactured at home
will not reduce the price. We favor
free bags with a direct bounty to man
ufacturers. If necessary. Any tariff
tax on bags is a direct tax on grain
growers. It is estimated 2,500,000 bags
are used in Umatilla County annually
and 8.000,000 in the state."
Sacks are selling for 10 H cents
apiece.
