THROWS OUT BOUQUETS
Largest Delegation Ever Organized
in this Section of State.
Poirri.AM) Sept '27 'It was the most
successful and imortant meeting ever
held in the state, with the exception of
the one held here" said Secretary Tom
Richardson, of the State Development
I.eague when he was asked alxnit the
Southern Oregon session of the league
at Grants Pass las Friday "There wks
great interest and enthusiasm shown
during the entire time cl the sessions
The business men of Kose'mrg rose no
bly to the occasion. They sent clear to
Portland for a secial car, which they
more than filled. It was proliably the
largest delegation ever going from one
Oregon town to another. All wore badges
and when the delegation got off the
train and marched tap town in twos the
line of march was more than a block
long."
Mr. Kiciiardson says that lare repre
sentative delegations were in attendance
from the cities of Medford, Jacksonville
and Ashland, and all were enthusiastic
advocates of advancement and develop
ment. He expects the uiemliership of
the league to he materially increased as
a result of the interest aroused at i rants
Pass. That city w ill shortly become af
filiated, and within a few months Mr.
Richardson believes t'regon w ill !e the
most th roughly and efficiently organ
ized state in the I'nion.
Others who went from Portland are
equally enthusiastic over the Southern

E. L Smith president of the league,
took the chair at the evening session
and also made a speech which stirred

ErcfsK, Sept. 27. The-work of
pick-
ing hops on the 100-acrc yard of Seavey

will probably cover the cost of growing

Already the national government has

the growth of our country and tbe mag
nitude of interstate interests may seem
to furnish a plausible reason f,ir this
centralirjitton of pSVCT, yet ttktM same
facts afford! the most potent reason
why the executive should not ba er
mittcd to encroach upon the other de
partmeiits of the government and as
sume legislative or other IHM not
expressly conferred by the constitu

its diversity of Interests and DOfMla

The Tariff and Trusts.
Tariff reform Is one of the cardinal
principles of the Democratic faith, ami
the necessity for it was never greater
than at the present time. It should be
undertaken at once in the Interest of
till our iteople.
The Dlngley tariff Is excessive In
many of its rates and. as to them at
least, unjustly and oppressively bur
dens the people. It secures to domes
tic manufacturers, singly or In combl
nation, the privilege of exacting ex
cessive prices at home and prices far
above the level of sales made regular
ly by them ubroad with profit, thus
giving a bounty to foreigners at the
expense of our own people. It levies
oppressive and unjust taxes upon
many articles forming In whole or part
the so called rnw mnterhil of inauy
of our manufactured products, not on
ly burdening the consumer, but also
closing to the manufacturer the mar
kets he needs and seeks abroad. Its
unjust taxation burdens the people
generally, forcing them to pay excess
ive prices for food, fuel, clothing and
other neeessnrics of life. It levies du
ties on many articles not normally bat
norted In any considerable amount
which are made extensively at home
for which the most extreme protec
tionist would hardly justify protective
taxes, and which In large amounts are
exported. Such duties have been

In my address to the notification

With eqoaJ truth it can be said that
the benefits of reciprocal trade trea

consumer would be help. si Is unques

term 'home market" has changed In
its significance. Once, from the mmiu
Caeturers' point of view. It meant ex
pansion; today the marvelous growth
of our manufacturing industries has
far exceeded the consumptive capacity
of our domestic markets, and the term
'home market" Implies contraction
rather than expansion. If we would
run our mills to their full capacity,
thus giving steady employment to our
workmen and securing to them and to(
the manufacturer the profits accruing
from Increased production, other mar
