They are serving their state by hastening the establishment dustrial development in Oregon And still more: They hastening the time of the States in flax and linen products, keeping $100,000,000 a year at home, and more and more as the country grows. Nor need the market be confined to this country We can compete with the world, on more than equal terms. I j i There will be no praise too high for these patriotic hust lers : 'i i " !'!'."!;; ; j in !;! !.;' ; . And they should be received with open arms. Every one in any way interested in Salem should whole heartedly speed to their aid.

Chairman Green, of the committee, who is on his wayito Europe, where he will spend several weeks, goes primarily to study; the tax question, but intends to give attention also to European tariff systems and the way in which they are-administered. It is through an in tensive study of our own administrative weaknesses however, that reform and revision inmethods'of admmfetration-in this' "country must come,- and Representativedreenlias gone about that systematically and thoroughly. Mr. Hawley favors con sideration of this subject by congress next winter, and he is wise enough to see that with prompt and proper reform in these administrative features, the existing tariff law can be better enforced, more revenue collected, under valuation (Pre vented, leaks stopped and the interests of all domestic indus tries and producers safeguarded' American Economist. ! j t j L t The above from the American Economist! the official magazine of the American Protective Tariff League, is good neWS ; 1 ' ' i ; : ; !: I : :' ! ill And the proposal will have the favor of every American without selfish interests who has or has ever had experience with or intimate knowledge of the administration of the tariff laws , - ,; ' .. 1 ; : ;.J:;' '. j; ..; m H; For it is one thing to pais a tariff law, and it is another thing to administer it; an administration unfriendly to! the spirit of the law can make the law! fail to do what it was in tended by its makers to do. 1 - j ' y There are five foot shelves pf books containing decisions on appeals as to valuations and' classifications - : And there are thousands of cases up all the time.
