City and Count Paper. THE tXST MIST DKTF.ItMINE. An interesting controversy is on in Portland just now regarding freight rates to Portland, Astoria and Puget sound. The progressives led by the Journal are urging the claim of the Columbia river points to lower rates than are awarded Seattle. The Oregonian takes the old time narrow view of the question and opposes the scheme Just as it opposes most other moves for advancement.

U LJ One year ago opened it's doors in Pendleton and is the busiest store in the city today. Why shouldn't it be, when the cash buying power of the gigantic Golden Rule Syndicate of 33 big busy stores enables us to buy better merchandise for less money and in most instances enables us to sell Host Desirable Lines at the Same Prices Other Pendleton Merchants are Forced to Pay for Same Goods Wlidi wo oix'ii'-'l. vr; wf ., . . ... !.a-i-, ii.. r without the holding ot hot air ana mmoH'iing saics. we nave (lenionsiramu mai non-r-?ty of iurpos and modern merchandising methods are tho foundation and groundwork of the Klicv that wins. lint, on the other hand, you will always find a clean, up-to-date stock of seasonable and wanted merchandise awaiting you at the GOLDEN RULE STORE. Competitors Who Tried to Follow Us Are Now Calling For Help As we have often stated before, the GOLDEN RULE STORE is past competition in Pendleton and any one store that tries to follow us, price for price and quality for quality, will sooner or later be owned by its creditors. T , . , . , . , ' All we ask is a comparison. When the questionable hot air sales are on you will be told in glaring headlines of so-called sensational savings. Jiut gentlemen, they are only a bait and should always Ikj taken with plenty of salt. The people of Pendleton have become tired of those hot-air events. They have learned that our regular prices are lower every day of the year, that we givo them only honest merchandise and that WE ARE HERE TO STAY. THE GOLDEN RULE STORE come Into line after the fight has been w on. The argument for lower rates -for the Columbia river points la bused on the fact that the cost of service to the Columbia river Is lower than ti the sound because the freight hauled to the sound must ro over a moun tainous grade. The Journal would sive Astoria lower rates than are Siven Seattle and contends that Portland should then e given an even .lower rate than Astoria because of the shorter haul. It Is a very logical proposition and the advocates of that plan will ba vindicated if in fixing freight rates the interstate commerce commission allows nature to take its course. There is only one Just way for the commission to flic freight rates and that is on the basis of the cost of ser vice. That Involves "consideration of distances, grades and perhaps other features. Since the, haul to Port land and Astoria Is along a water grade it naturally follows that freight may be hauled to those points cheap er than to Puget sound and the rates should be lower accordingly. Fy the same reasoning It can be shown that with reference to trans continental freight towns In eastern Oregon and Washington are entitled t: lower rates than are any of the coast cities. The cost of service Crom Chicago to Pendleton Is plain ly less than the cost of hauling freight to Portland or Seattle. The policy of allowing railroads to grant low rates to terminal cities is wrong, ii: principle. It is nothing but fa voritism. It is not Just to allow such rates on the theory of meeting water competition. When water competiti on is met in that manner it Is met at the expense of inland points. It also subjects steamship lines to un fair competition. It Is inconceivable that such a policy will 'be allowed af ter the regulatory machinery of the government gets into good working trim. AID THE GROWER TOO. The following editorial from the Atlanta Constitution deals primarily with the cotton industry but It is re produced here because the ideas set forth apply equally -well to the wheat business. The senate committee on agricul ture the other day ordered reported favorably a bill the enactment of which would be a far step In redress ing an immemorial wrong upon the cotton grower. Framed by Senator Smith, of South Carolina, It provides that the director of the census, in connection with the ginners" report of cotton production, shall publish the foreign and domestic consumption of cotton of American production,, the surplus held by cotton manufactur ers of the United States and the ex ports. It would have been tetter had the measure included statistics of con sumption of cotton wherever pro duced and foreign as well as domestic mill stocks. In this way only could complete Information be gained of the cotton-status throughout the world, and the government has suffi cient International machinery at its disposal to assure at least approxi mate accurace In such an undertaking. re told that a store could not run t . 1 1 I 1 A beginning has been made, how ever, and that Is something.' For years past the census reports and the agricultural ' department ' have scrupulously kept the world Informed as to the volume and quality of the crop at its every stage, playing Into the? hands of market manipulators and to the detriment of the farmer. The latter has been handed few or no compensatory features. He . has not for instance, been given any of ficial data of the dimensions of world's consumption, armed with which he might have kept his acreage within reasonable bounds and been encouraged to make sacrifices to hold his output until prices reached the level indicated by demand. In other words, the farmer has been growing his cotton In complete light and selling It in absolute dark ness. The anomaly is so unjust and Indefensible that the wonder is It should not long ago have been dis sipated. With broadening amend ments, the Smith bill should be made law with the least possible delay. WISCONSIN KNOWS. If the sentiment in Wisconsin Is any Index to the popular feeling re garding Governor Woodrow Wilson the New Jersey man will prove to fce by great odds the popular choice for democratic nominee for president. In Wisconsin the opposition to Wilson concentrated on Champ Clurk. The Harmon headquarters, were closed some time prior to the primary and no fight at all -was made for Under wood. But even with the allies con centrated against him Governor Wil scn won out in Wisconsin lay more than a two to one vote. The final returns from the democratic primary show that Wilson received a total of 34,000 votes while Champ Clark drew but 16,000. Wilson is the choice of Wisconsin people and Wisconsin knows a progressive when It sees one. ATHENA GIVES OP IDEA OF LEAGUE WILL HAVE A fiOOD INDKI'EXUKXT 11AM, TEAM Thin to Kngngi" In Two Giuim.

Senator Jonathan Bourne of Ore gon Is opposed for reelection by Ben I Selling of Portland. A circular let ter sent by Mr. Selling to the voters of Oregon contains this sentence: He (Senator Bourne) Is Identified more with the class of "Aldrlch Re publicans" than any other republi cans, while he claims to be a progres sive. ' This sentence makes Mr. Selling an easy man to classify. Either he Is too ill-Informed a man to represent any community In any legislative body or else and, unhappily, one Is com pelled to accept this as the more probable assumption he is willing to use a palpable falsehood to further his own political fortunes.
