England, Germany, France we make on the other side everything that you make here." "No, you don't," said the inter viewer, smiling. "No, you don't; and that's why we beat you." "What don't we make," demanded the Englishman, "that you do?" "Haste," replied the interviewer.

A Ruins t Movement in Initiative Petition . i for Such an Institution. Editor Tidings: On opening my pre-election pamphlet the first thing discovered .was a loose leaflet aiT parently delayed, from lack of confi dence in their scheme, until the last moment, like a rattlesnake who Is compelled by an inexorable law to give warning Deiore lie strikes your death blow), setting forth an. act for the consideration of the taxpayers of tlTo rZL Ml? eVentUaV,y 'th.; brarh7cogrs a, rto" the t0'00"? li"iaX,.,ent.l;l'--il.Mt. Under the constitution. tied 'An act to provide funds to build roads and bridges in Jackson I .K' " . . . as the Scott plan to save Jackson I county, Oregon, $90,000 a year in interest, and provide for the redemp tion of all outstanding Jackson coun ty warrants in excess of the legal limitations." After studying the matter, I feel like exclaiming with the Psalmist, "The words of his but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet were they were drawn swords." And 1 feel like Patrick Henry when he exclaimed, "Shall we lie supinely on our backs until the enemy shall have bound us hand and foot,'' or shall we arise in our might with that strong club, NO, and kill the reptile before his poison ous fangs are fastened upon us? The "Taxpayers' National Bank of Jackson County, Oregon!" Oh, what a "joyful sound" if run in the inter est of the whole people instead of a clique, who, not satisfied with bur dening the taxpayers with $500,000 indebtedness above the legal limit, which warrants I hear they have bought up at about 80 cnts on the dollar, and drawing interest at 6 per cent face value, want the taxpayers to bond their homes to borrow money from Uncle Sam to place In easy reach, and in legal money, so they can get their warrants cashed after the bank has been in operation six months, at their face value, with accrued interest, and thereby make a clean rakeoff from the taxpayers of IVt per cent interest since purchase of these warrants, on the money act ually invested in these illegal war rants. It's a wonder to me they could even allow six months' opera tion of the bank o elapse, before asking for such an easy though dan gerous rakeoff. Now, my taxpaylng brother who has a vote, and my taxpaylng sister who has none, let us look carefully Into this deceitfully worded act, and protect our interests by voting it down, or "forever hold our peace" so far as complaining to one another about "high taxes." If this county bank is authorized and run on the lines set out in the act, it means, of course, that the principal will all be exhausted in pay ing of these illegal warrants, with a 27 per cent rakeoff to the holders thereof, who probably are largely bankers, and in paying exhorbitant salaries to a great horde of officials, land the little balance left will be ap plied to our road and bridge build ing, to at least keep within the act to make a showing, and then, Mr. Tax payer, your "Jackson County, Na tional Bank" is busted, and you have such an encumbrance on your prop erty due to Uncle Sam, that you will not be able to work it out during your lifetime, and you can't sell out and run away from Jackson county, because no one wants as a premium for getting "one subscriber" a "nice farm In Jackson county, Oregon, ful ly fenced and set to trees, with a mortgage on it for all it's worth.'.' Now suppose we initiate a meas ure to start a "Jackson' county j bank" and carry it on in the interest i of the whole people, as the other banks do to their private interests, and not spend the principal at all, but loan it out to our own people who want to improve the country in production, manufacturing and busi ness lines, at 6 per cent interest, which would amount to $90,000 per year clear, to be expended on our roads and bridges, or be again loaned to accumulate more road and bridge money. When we did get enough ahead to begin the job, and later when we accomplished our purpose, we would yet have the principal to pay back to Uncle Sam, and remove every" encumbrance from our proper ties without a cent of taxes having been paid for this purpose. I figure such a bank- would receive enough general business from the publicc outside of this to be self-supporting, and make money besides. Other banks do. R. D. SANFORD. NEW ANESTHETIC. Patients Lulled to Sleep liy Pleasing Odor of Oranges. A new anesthetic with which the patient Is lulled quietly to sleep by the odor of oranges instead of with a struggle that attends the use of ether, has been discovered. It has been used In five operations at the Brooklyn Naval Hospital and with such startling success that J. C. Byrnes predicts its adoption for both the navy and army. The new anesthetic is based on the odor of essence of oranges, which is ten times stronger than the odor of ether. The patient smells this vaporized essence, which Is then gradually mixed with -ether, the change from one to the other being imperceptible. As demonstrated in five operations at the hospital and confirmed by upwards of 200 experi ments performed by Its discoverers, the new process has the advantage of being much safer than the use of ether alone, taking only half the time to administer, being much less costly, doing away entirely with the pa tient's struggles and being followed by a quick recovery and no sense of nausea.

I As a further means of disrupting the old crooked, log-rolling method ! of tariff making, all future revisions:, of the tariff should be made schedule j' uj Bineauie as cnanging conditions may require. Thus a great obstacle I will he thrown in the way of the I trading of votes, which has marked i so s. andalously the enactment of every tariff bill of recent years. The j tariff commission should render Its i I reports at Uie call of congress or of I i congress is the tariff-making power. It K inillil riAt Iia tha lilininua in ..i..n i"g a larm comniiHHion to take any- .hi,,,. ..... gress, but rather to afford a wise means of giving to congress the wid est aiul most scientific assistance pos sible, and of furnishing it and the public with the fullest disinterested i information. Only by this means can creation of such a permanent I - tariff commission, and the adoption of the policy of schedule by schedule revision, will do more to accomplish this highly desired object than aiy other means yet devised. The democratic platform declares for a tariff for revenue only, assert ing that a protective tariff is uncon stitutional. To say that a protective tariff is unconstitutional, as the dem ocratic nlatforiu insists, is onlv ex- I nmntila rm a thdnrv rif tho nntiutitn- tion which would make it unconsti tutional to legislate in any shape or way for the betterment of social and Industrial conditions. The abolition of t he protective tariff by the substi tution for it of a tariff for revenue only, as proposed by the democratic platform, would plunge this country into the most widespread industrial depression we have yet seen, and this depression would continue for an in definite period. There is no hope from the standpoint of our people from action such as the democrats propose. The one and only chance to secure stable and favorable busi ness conditions In this country, while at the same time guaranteeing fair play to farmer, consumer, business man and wage-worker, lies in the creation of such a commission as I hei'ein advocate. Only by such a commission and oilly by such activi ties of the commission will it be pos sible for us to get a reasonably quick revision of the tariff scnedule by schedule a revision which shall be downwards and not upwards, and at the same time secure a square deal not merely to the manufacturer, but to the wage-worker and to the gen eral consumer. Cost of Living Important. There can be no more important question than the high cost of living necessities. The main purpose of the progressive movement is to place the American people in possession oi their birthright, to assure for all the American people unobstructed access to the fountains of measureless pros perity which the Creator offers them. We in this country are blessed with great natural resources, and our men and women have a very high stan dard of intelligence and of industrial capacity. Surely such being the case, we cannot permanently support con ditions under which each family finds it increasingly difficult to secure the necessaries of life and a fair share of its comforts through the earnings of its members. The cost of living in this country has risen' during the last few years out of all proportion to the increase of most salaries and wages; the same situation confronts alike the majority of wage-workers, small business men, small profes sional men, the clerks, the doctors, the clergymen. Now, grave though the problem Is, there Is one way to make it graver, and that Is to deal with It insincerely, to advance false remedies, to promise the impossible. Our opponents, republicans and dem ocrats alike, propose to deal with it in this way: The republicans In their platform promise an inquiry into the facts. Most certainly there should be such Inquiry. But the way the present administration has failed to keep its promises In the past, and the rank dishonesty of action on the part of the Penrose-Barnes-Guggen-helm national convention, makes their every promise worthless. The democratic platform affects to find the entire cause of the high cost of living in the tariff, and promises to remedy It by free trade, especially free trade In the necessaries of life. In the first place, this attitude Ig nores the patent fact that the prob lem Is world-wide, that everywhere, In England and France, as In Ger many and Japan, it appears with greater or less severity; that In Eng land, for Instance, it has become a very severe problem, altnough neith er the tariff nor, save to a small de gree, the trusts can there have any possible effect upon the situation. In the second place, the democratic plat form, if It Is sincere, must mean that all duties will be taken off the prod ucts of the farmer. Yet most cer tainly we cannot afford to have the farmer struck down. The welfare of the tiller of the soil Is as Important as the welfare of the wage-worker himself, and we must sedulously guard both. The farmer, the pro ducer of the necessities of life, can himself live only If he raises these necessities for a profit. On the other hand, the consumer who must have that farmer's product in order to live, must be allowed to purchase It at the lowest coBt that can give the farmer his profit, and everything posslole must be done to eliminate any mid dleman whose function does not tend to Increase the cheapness of distri bution of the product; and, moreover, everything must be done to stop all speculating, all gambling with the bread-basket which has even the slightest deleterious effect upon the producer and consumer.
