their government as
tariff laws are in the nature of a
tax for the purpose of maintain
ing our government; but the
tariff has an additional duty to
perform, that of protecting our
manufacturers, our producers,
our laborers, from the manufac
tured wares of cheap-labor coun
tries. , - ;
Some party has always been
in evidence with some scheme to
defeat every just law that ever
was passed. The Dingley tariff,
just " and equitable as it is, has
been evaded and its end defeated
on many occasions since its pas
sage in 1897. ...
The scheme of undervaluation
was the one that did the trick
for a time, but the call down
given George Borgfeldt & Co.,
New York City, is likely to be
productive of good. , This com
pany import vast quantities of
t pottery, glass and chinaware each
year, and in order to avoid the
payment of just duties, it became
a fixed policy with them to have
their importations undervalued
when shipped.
Lesley M. Shaw, secretary of
. the treasury, undertook to secure
a fair administration of the law
and force . importers to place a
correct valuation upon their im
portations- This did not suit
Borgfeldt & Co. and they enlist-
r ed the Merchant's Association of
New York against the findings
of the. treasury department. Af
fairs went from bad to worse un-
. til finally it was referred to Pres
ident Roosevelt.
. Believing in a "square deal for
every man, ' ' the president listen
ed to both sides of the question,
March 30. It is very gratifying
to note that he very promptly
gave his opinion in support of the
treasury department in its effort
to put down an attempt to de-
- fraud the government by an eva
sion of the payment of tariff
duties.- This is another instance
when our president has stood
pat."

this occasion.
Other towns are going to have
large delegations on the field and
i the reason that , other places in
the valley are taking so. much in
terest in this convention is be
cause they consider it to their
interest to do so. If it is of in
terest to people of other towns
to be on hand for business on this
occasion'surely it is to the interest
of us to be in evidence. Who
will go l iow many can spare

S PE'CIAL
Announcement to Business Men.
' The management of the Lewis
-and Clark Fair .certainly have
; little desire for an educationa
exhibit from their own state. The
accusation that said management
; is not informed regarding the
merits of the various educationa
institutions of the state wbuld be
a reflection upon the intelligence
of this board. But if well :in
formed, why so little attention
to such an educational exhibit as
could have been produced by the
schools and colleges of the state ?
The Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, located in this city, is the
largest college in the Northwest
and for more than a year has
been at work preparing an ex
hibit for the Exposition. For
such an exhibit as OAC can make
considerable space would be re
quired, as our college does noth
ing on small lines. It is now un
derstood that OAC is to receive
a floor space 8x16 feet. . ;
Think of it ! A whole year for
such a space there never was a
time during the past fifteen years
that OAC could not have cram
med such a little "cubby hole"
full on fifteen minutes notice,
and never have missed it.
OAC is not the only college cut
down on space- We have heard
mutterings to the effect that)ur
college will not send an exhibit,
but have heard of no definite
plan of action for such a course.
