PLAIN COMMON SENSE
' . ' ' (New Haren Register.) - ' - " .
In by-eone daya -Protection" and "Free Trade", were the rallying
cries of the two great parties. Later "Hlsh Protection" and "Tariff
for Revenue Only" became the slogana.a Then '"Reciprocity" came
into being under the influence of McKlnley, and "from, that day on
ward the matter has been considered more in tbejight of practical
industrial sagacity than ever before. The creation of the Tariff
Board has done much to bring about thhs change, and recent tariff
laws bare added to the powers of the President with respect to tariff
legislation until now the law; is in such elastic condition that indus-
, try, ' commerce and plain, ordinary, everyday business i baye been
relieved of the disastrous effects of long-continued tariff agitation
that retarded production, caused the ehut down of mills and other
wise disturbed conditions all alng the line. t- , t - j
Surely1 In the face of such progress toward a goal of . sanity the
words ot Chairman Green not only are warranted bu are most grate
fully received.
and the peraon so convicted and. punished shall not; be eligible to
apply for or receive a license to operate any motor vehicle, nor shall
he be permitted to -drive, run or operate. any such or. any motor
vehicle' for one year from the date of such conviction.", '
This law, was passed in response to demands from overi
the state to make the puhishment of drunken drivers certain
and sufficiently severe to check this menace to life and prop
erty on our highways. Light fines or no punishment at all
were so commonly given by judges that jail sentences in
addition to fines were made obligatory upon them. And in
addition to jail 'and fine automatic revocation of the license
for one year follows.; J
' With these'teeth". in the law which is generally com
mended as none too severe and necessary, it was expected
that it would be enforced. . ' - " J:
It is ignored, defied, dodged by forces whose first duty
is to enforce it. ; One man convicted of driving his car on a
business street of an Oregon city while intoxicated: was puiv
ished (?) by a; two dollar fine.. Another was booked for driv
ing while intoxicated. " He had caused an accident which
caused serious injury to several persons, and wrecked an
other's car The man whose car was wrecked wanted money
for the part he suffered and so a charge of "reckless" driving
was! substituted for the former .charge and the driver got off
with a fine only--an adroit way' of ignoring the law.' Another
driver, indicating clearly an intoxicated condition while driv
ing a car on a city street was recently allowed his freedom
on bail and promptly if not unexpectedly, forfeited the same
by "non-appearance." He didn't hanker after the jail and so
the enforcement of the law again became a huge joke.4 -
Such examples and others still more flagrantly express
ing contempt for the. law are of almost daily occurance in
Oregon. Sentimentality, opposition to, the law, personal
favor or other influences render the law practically : a dead
letter. If one man canstay the hand of, the. law j by. a plea
for dollars -f or his I injured car why can. not every, person
whose car .isinjUfed by a drunken driver ihus substitute his
method of punishment for that prescribed by the law? If
law breakers prefer to forfeit -bail to taking chances with
law so seldom enforced why not .increase1 the' amount of bail
to insure the law's enforcement? '
SCHOOL DAYS
' iThe reference ojf the New Haven Register, above, is to a
Btatement of Chairman Green of the House ways and means
committee that there will likely be no tariff - "tinkering" at
the next session of Congress. ' ; " rj J- ;i .. ' : I
.There should at no time be any tariff tinkering; but
there is need now for some tariff legislation onjplain common
cense lines, and the" elastic provisions of the tariff law do riot
give adequate means of reaching the need in most cases
As for instance take, the case of cherriesfl The duty is j
2 cents a pound. " The elastic provision would allow of an
increase to 3 cents a pound only. Every grower of Royal
Ann cherries in the Salem district, or on the Pacific coast,
Jknow that nothing short of 6 cents a pound would give ade
"qualc protection. !
. iThe tariff charge ought to be based upon the value lof
'articles. after they are landed in this country; for it is not
fair ta base charges on values ia countries of origin '
As for instance the cost of an article made in China may
not be more than a fraction of, the producing cost of the
same article made in England; owing to the vastly higher
wages in England ; though English wages are not much more
than half the wages in this country, on an average.
;Then there should be a higher charge placed upon all
i goods riot carried in American bottoms. This would build up
ft great.' American marine, without costing, the government
(that is our people) one cent. ;
4 - The New Haven Register, in a paragraph of the article
from which the above quotations are made, says something
that it is to be hoped will come true, as follows: "The tariff
has' slowly and with, infinite pains been gradually lifted but
of politics, or at least has been set upon tracks that ultimate
ly .will lift it out of politics and make it purely an economic
" regulationthat will be governed by the dictates of ' sound
j business; not political exigency or expediency." ;
It is such-treatment of the law that breaks down law.
A prominent judge in Oregon recently declared that the most
common law breakers are those who are clothed with police

"How " do you' do, Mrs. Gha

Jim nodded to me In respectful
fashion, and reddened a bit with
palpable embarrassment as I put
out my hsfnd In cordial greeting.
How do you do.jjim?" I re
sponded. "It's wonderful to get

"It's " pretty nice i tV see' bu

hand heartily. 'There'll be ' no

kind of down in the mouth since

volatile, tempestuous .little . wife,
to whose nature he seems always
trying to suit the slower tempo of She shoost.bin goot as long as she

the significance ot her face. I
had just been through one emo

in-law. I was in no condition to
undergo another one, inevitable if

rjck which is her wornt fault, and
is more than balanced by ber
many splendid qualities.
"Sure, she - eat . beeg loonch,"
Katie said, adding slyly: "Eef she
no full of eats, she no be so fresh
about not having meals sent oop
to her room. , Don't you vorry.
Missis Graham. She no go vay
saucily, ' but there was loving
warmth in her eyes, and in her
voice, though " her ! answer ' was
couched in her Usual rough badi

"You tink I like old Neeck In

"eef you don't get . dose schickens

Jim obediently fled, and Katie
turned to me. , !
"vy you i no . teiepnone . you
raise Cain leetle bit, den sbe feel;
better." ; - i . ;
"Make It Two."
.It. took all my dignity to keep
from' laughter at; this astounding
accurate estimate of my mother-in-law.
But I managed it. though
Katie really was outrageous. I
struggled for words that should
express -reproof without rancor
and found only a futile:
: "Katie. I am afraid you have
been listening again,' after
have said to you." . - ' ' - - '
She looked at me, unabashed.
"I no go near keyhole, like I
vunce do," she answered naively.
I no have to. ' Vot you tink I
got no ears? Eeef anybody not
deaf, dey could hear dot old tom
ans all over house ven she gei
mad like she did shoost now. Sure,
I hear everytlngs. She vun old r
. "Katie!" I commanded sternly.
"Stop talking like this at once!"
"All right," Katie t assented
cheerily enough, but there was a
mutinous look in her eyes, which
told me that she was silently ap
plying even worse epithets to my
mother-in-law. r There Is a curious
relation between my husband's
arrogant mother and my belliger
ent little maid. I thing each cher
ishes a genuine liking for the;
other underneath the surface ani
mosity which each appears to con
sider it her duty to exhibit upon
every possible occasion. M
; Eet 'no-goof : talk" about her
anyway," she went Ion superbly
"You no tell me yet vot I feex for
loonch." : . , !
I knew better than to 'give" a
vague reply to this question. So,
with a hasty review of the pantry
resources which I knew Katie al
ways kept up in my absence I re
plied promptly, spurred by hunger
after my Journey: ,
"Creamed dried beet on toast,
French fried potatoes, grapefruit.
