Though the emergency tariff has only been in effect a
few days, the response of other nations has been instantan
eous. There is reprisal all along the line.
Canada has put into effect corresponding duties on im
ports of wheat, flour and potatoes from the United States
and a country wide boycott is being agitated against goods
made in this country. As we export far more to Canada than
we import, the effect will be far reaching.
Australia has put into effect restrictions against Amer
ican products that are seriously interfering with trade rela
tions and curtailing our growing commerce with that
commonwealth.
A retaliatory tariff is being framed in the Argentine re
public and a feeling of antagonism toward the United States
is growing among the business men. The progress of the
past feW years in establishing American commerce in this
and other southern American countries is being obliterated.
Snain has abolished its minimum rates of duty as effecting
especially important lines of American manufacture' and sub- Wholesale Building of
statuted rates three, four and five times higher.
Other countries are planning embargoes and retaliatory
tariffs that will affectually cripple if not destroy America's
export trade and lose us our foreign markets. Larger credits
and other devices will not avail to hold trade so lost.
Great Britain, Germany, Scandinavia and other countries
will rapidly regain the commerce lost to America in the war
and our foreign commerce will dwindle as quickly as it in
creased as a result of the trade isolation resultant from an
obsolete high protective policy.
The emergency tariff will bring in little revenue, and not
materially help the producer. It will only increase the cost
of living to. the consumer. It is a gold-brick handed the
farmer to secure his support for tariff on manufactures,
ith the passage of the tariff bill now being drafted, we will
comDlete the return to the normalcy of isolation, and have
turned the clock back to the time we had no exports and no
commerce. The public reaction will seal the doom ot the
political party perpetrating it as bankrupt in statesmanship.
Should Reform Itself
The people having repeatedly refused to extend the length
of the legislative session for the simple reason that a forty
day session produces a surplus of legislation, it is up to the
legislature to effect its own reformation by the adoption of
rules tht.t will affectually curtail the abuses that swamp the
closing hours of the session and result in the passage of
much illconsidered and unnecessary legislation.
There is no valid reason why any member should be per
mitted to introduce an unlimited quantity of bills, no reason
why there should not be a limit enforced both on quantity
and time' of introduction. Nine-tenths of the new laws that
encumber the statytes as a result of each session could be
dispensed with and no material injury result. Most of every
session is much ado about nothing.
Oregon is. legislated to death. Codes become obsolete as
And each session adds permanently to the
expense of government by the creation of new and needless
commissions as well as adding half a thousand new laws
to regulate the commonwealth.
All legislators pledge themselves 10 economy w -tion.
Most of them forget the pledge as soon as elected and
squander their own time and the people's money. They do not
develop business efficiency sufficient to manage themselves
in competenfmanner. Hence the public distrust of the
repeated reiusai 01 me yeuic

"You are always saying such

Why. you have even made me
think that you like my baby."
"1 do," Harry answered gravely.
"Have you any brothers and sis

'Please don't try to make me
think a college man who ha never

ters could possibly have any time
for a baby. College men are all
like Hart. He considers babies ne
cessities, perhaps, but still wriggly
little nuisances who can have no

'1 never cared for a baby be-

must remember It Is the first time
I I ever had one In my arms and I
am glad that It was your baby."
I stopped and looked at Larry

I wanted to laugh I wanted to

Court Houses Held
Not Legal in Su
preme Court Edict
County courts are not empower
ed to build court house by whole
sale according to Justice Harris
of the Oregon supreme court who
takes occasion to so comment upon
the Klamath county situation.
The statement is contained in an
opinion, handed down this morn
ing overruling a motion filed by
J. M. Douglas to strike out certain
portions of the answer filed by
Klamath county in the mandamus
proceeding filed by Dougan in an
effort to compel payment of a war
want for $20,572.47Jield by him
as the balance due him for the
construction of one of Klamath's
two new court houses.
The court which in a previous
opinion rendered judgment
against the county and in favor
of Deugarn now holds that "if it
should develop that there are now
In the treasury no moneys avail
able with, which to make restora
tion to the special court house
fund, then it may be that Dou
gan's only remedy, if he has any.
is to compel the levy of special
taxes for the purpose of restoring
moneys which in effect were bor
rowed from the special court house
fund."
G. K. VanRiper, county treasur
er of Klamath county, had refused
to pay Dougan's warrant because
there were no funds available for
that purpose. Dugan had conten
ded that funds which were levied
for the payment of his claims had
been juggled and shifted into
other funds.
Continuing his comment upon
the courthouse situation in the
southern Oregon county Justice
Harris declares that "if it cannot
be said that one and not
the othe of the two buildings is
the courthouse of the county then
the legally constituted authorities
must decide upon the selection of
one building as the courthouse of
Klamath county for any taxpayer
can prevent the maintenance of
two buildings as courthouses when
one1 is amply sufficient for court
house purposes."
"If one building must be deem
ed now to he the courthouse or Is
selected as the courthouse
It may nevertheless be
lawful and proper to expend
moneys on the other-wlth the view
the view of disposing of it to ad
vantage." Five other opinions were handed
down by the court this morning
as follows:

The pugilistic crown first worn
by John L. Sullivan passed to the
head of James J. Corbett Septem
ber 7, 1892, in the twenty first
round of their championship fltrht
at New Orleans. Corbett had a,
lot of fun winning the fight and!
the $45,000 that went with it. He
towered three inches above the
champion and continually smiled
down at Sullivan in a most annoy
ing manner. Corbett had been a
bank clerk before taking the ring
seriously and the fans and news
paper correspondents delighted in
salting their amazement at his
speed with remarks of his dancing
master tactics, as they were called.
As the battle spun along toward
Its end. the Callfornlan forced Sul
livan to take the defensive. He
had the champion draped over the
ropes when the bell rang at the
end of the twenties round. In the
next round, Sullivan, beaten dowr
by sniashing rights and lefts, tried
hard to regain his feet and carry
on but his strength was not equal
to his will, and he was counted
out.
It was the greatest ring battle,
In the public mind, that had ever
been staged and good seats were
sold for seventy-five dollars and
more.
Sixteen months after James J.
Corbett won the heavyweight
championship of America from
John L. Sullivan, he added to his
laurels by severely beating Charles
K. Mitchell, who came over from
England to challenge the conquer
or, in three rounds, at Jackson
ville, Fla, January 25, 1894.
There was much enmity between
the battlers, Corbett refusing to
shake hands with his opponent
before the fight began. His at
tack upon the Englishman was a
merciless one, and in the thjnl
round he broke Mitchell's nose
with a half swing blow, theu
knocked him flat twice, the econd
time for a knockout.

The Difference of 150 Years
a
You've heard the story of Paul Revere how he clat
tered out of Boston and spread the alarm to every Middle
sex village, etc. That was in April, 1775. It was an all
night job. Today the Boston papers would slap extras
on their presses and in the shake of a little lamb's tail the
whole thrilling message would be in each home of the
well known county.
This represents the advance of 150 years in the import
ant business of spreading news.
The cry of "Extra Extra" on the midnight air brings
startled folks to their doors as once did the pound of a
horse's hoofs and the breathless shout of the rider.
Papers have supplanted the courier multiplied his ef
fectiveness many times increased his speed a hundred
fold.
How far back we would go without newspapers? We
would remain in ignorance not only of events at home and
abroad but also of much that concerns us just as vitally
news of the very things that have to do with the per
sonal, every-day life of each one of us.
Somebody might be selling a new, better and more
economical food; or a utensil that would add immeasur
ably to our comfort and well-being; or some better mater
ial for making shoes or clothing but we would never
know it.
