A JABBERING SPOOK.
Antedating the war of the
revolution there existed that pro
vincial sentiment- and purpose
which, in a few years, became
- known as the doctrine of "Slate
, Rights." It was the growth of
independent sovereignty held by
the people of each of the original
colonies.
After independence had been
won this spirit well nigh defeated
any attempt to maintain a central
government. But for the recog
' nized necessity " of being united
, for the common defense it is
probable the Articles of Confed
eration would not have held the
states together as long as they
did. Within six years it was ap
parent that the rights, powers
and duties of the central govern
ment must be enlarged,' clearly
defined and be acquiesced in or
the government would be de
stroyed, the states rent asunder
and the fruits of their hard-won
struggle for independencecast
heedlessly away, i
i- At this juncture a convention
was assembled to revise the Ar
ticles of Confederation. . It soon
became evident that this could
not be done in a way to give per
manent and desirable results. Ncr-
mere confederation of the states
was strong enough to conserve
what had already been won nor
broad enough upon which to build,
bind and fuse all the states into
one harmonious whole.
It was seen that if a more per
fect union was to be created and
an enduring government of all
the states organized it must be
done on other lines. The conven
tion then entered upon the almost
hopeless task of forming a con
stitution and erecting a new
government. Only a careful
study of the daily journal of the
convention gives one a just un
derstanding of the nature and
extent of the difficulties which
had to be met and overcome be
fore the constitution was agreed
upon and referred to the states
for their acceptance or rejection.
The jealousies, fears, suspicions
and prejudices arrayed under the
banner of State Rights almost
defeated its adoption by the
states. It was ratified, however,
and the new government set in
motion.
There now appeared what is
fairly designated as two schools
of constitutional interpretation.
One of these embraced those who
were zealous for the maintenance
of state sovereignty and jealous
of power in the hands of the cen
tral government, the other com
posed qf those who believed that
a strong, vigorous general gov
ernment should be maintained
and that it could be without en
dangering the autonomy of the
states.
It is somewhat remarkable that
a Virginian, as Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, gave us the
doctrine of "implied powers" to
guide interpretation of the con
stitution and another illustrious
Virginian cast the seed into the
soil of State Rights from which
t sprang up bearing the fruits of
rebellion, secession and interne
cine war.
The democratic party became
the party of State Rights. The
republican party, following the
Whig, as that party did the Fed
eral party, became the party fav
oring a strong central govern
ment. , This is the present rela
tive position of these parties.
While the doctrine of State
Rights has most prolific growth
in the South it finds adherents
wherever men adhere to the dem
ocratic party. It is this specious
doctrine which makes it so diffi
cult for the Federal government
to grapple with and control cer-
gers. ,:'t:c" 1-" ". ' :
It dies hard, but it must cease
its opposition to the exercise of
that power which alone is able to
throttle these enemies of the peo
ple. It is a survival of fear that
once had some sort of excuse; to
cover it, but which, so far as it
bodes danger to our liberties and
to the constitutional rights of any
state, is now become but a jab
bering spook.
I -
IS IT A TAX?
It is alleged against protection
that it is a tax which is added to
the cost of production and col
lected from the , consumer of a
product. If this is true of duties
which are laid for protection it is
equally true of those which are
laid only for revenue. If the pur
pose of tariff is simply to raise
revenue it not long escapes the
charge that it is a tax added to
the cost of production and ; ulti
mately paid by . the consumer
sucn a tanit approximates, as
nearly" as practicable, '.to absolute
free -trade. If for any reason
European manufacturers can pro
duce goods cheaper than we can
they have unchecked entrance to
our markets and soon put our
manufacturers out of business.
Having done this we are at the
foreigner's mercy and are com
pelled to pay not only cost of pro
duction but the tariff plus a good
profit besides. This is just what
English manufacturers have done
and are ready, on opportunity,
again.
When our tariff is sharply on
the lines of protection it excludes
the foreign manufacturers from
our markets and gives them to
our own manufacturers who
eagerly enter into competition to
supply them. , The American
workman is employed, his scale
of wages is maintained and com
petition forces economy of pn
duction and the lowest scale of
prices. This it has invariably
done or tended to do.
In 1882 steel wire nails paid a
duty of 1 cent a pound and were
sold at Si cents a pound. In
1884 the duty was raised to 4
cents a pound, an increase in
duty of 3 cents a pound. Now
if this is a tax paid by the con
sumer the price of nails should
have been Hi cents a pound.
Within five years our production
of steel naUs rose from nothing
to nearly 4,000,000 kegs and the
price fell to less than 2 cents
a pound. New if the duty was a
tax on the consumer, in all equity
the manufacturer, to make the
consumer whole, should have
paid him 2 cents a pound for
each pound of nails he bought.
We might cite many additional
facts to show that protection pre
serves the home market to the
American manufacturer, that it
gives our workmen employment
at the American wage scale, and
that it fosters such competition
as gives the product to the con
sumer at prices Europe cannot
match and pay hsr laborers liv
ing wages. f

R0CKPILE FOR CARREERS.
What Happened on One Highway
Benton May Lose R. F. D.
Service Carrier's Letter.
It is required bv the Postoffice
Department that roads on which
rural delivery service is estab
lished, shall be in condition for
convenient travel at all times of
the year, and so maintained.
The rural delivery was estab
lished at Coivallis nearly five
yearsago. The toads were not in
condition for the service but the
people promised to get them
in shape, and it was thought at
the time-that they would appre
ciate the service enough to see
that this was done; some of them
tried, and others worked against
it in a way.
In District No. 3, two-years
ago, the people met and voted a
five-mill tax. Specifications were
drawn tor rock and gravel to be
put on what is known as the
French grade. The rock was
put there, ninety loads in all,
and owing to a slight difficulty
between one of the residents of
that district and the supervisor at
tain corporations, trusts and mer-J that time-work was stopped and
the rock was not covered, al
though there .was plenty of money
on hand for gravelij but the
supervisor wanted this man as
well as the carrier to travel the
rock pile. It went on this way
till harvest and then they could
not get teams to do the hauling,
so three months of that winter I
could not get over the rock pile.
In December, 1906, they voted
another - five-mill tax . and . last
spring the. rock was covered and
more new work done. More
work could have been done, but
delay was caused waiting for
the gravel-ferry to be put in re
pair, until it was too late to do
all the hauling for ihe farmers
had to go to cutting their hay ;
so we had money left over that
we might just as well have! had
the use of this - winter. About
one-fourth of the grade is grav
eled, and the remainder is
M-U-D.
On December 30, 1907, the
people met at the Witham school
bouse to vote another five
mill tax, which under present
conditions could have been used
to good advantage, tor last year's
work was well done, as far as
it went, and plans for this year's
work was to begin where work
was left off last year.
All the farmers present at the
meeting voted for it, men repre
senting approximately er 000 acres
of land. But the men iust out
side the city, representing proba
bly 100 acres, voted it down.
These people have sidewalks into
town, and most of them get even
their groceries delrveied by the
city delivery wagons, and ah?!?:
get their mail delivered at their
doors. Why did they vote it
down? Because their taxes would
be six or eight dollars higher.
These people should be inside
the city limits where they be
long, and then see what their
taxes would be more than five
mills extra I am sure, fudging
from my own experience.
Part of the road over Cemetery
hill is in such a bad condition
that I tie my horse to a tree, take
my sack on my back and walk,
for I can make better time. Car?
rier No. 1 also walks from the
Bicknell place, west . to the end
of the route; Carrier No. 2 walks
from J. E. Thompson's place
over 'to Beaver Creek school
house and back; No. 4 would
walk but his bad road is not in a
place wheie be back tracks. His
worst road is frem the Currier
lane to Ziseman's farm and also
back of Jess Foster's. .He fre
quently comes in with the double-trees
or sirgle-trees broken,
thanks to baling wire and halter
ropes lor K. t. U. carriers of
Benton county.
Our county judge promised
the people of Benton county, be
fore election two vears ago, that
if elected he would personally
tiavel over the roads of said coun
ty, so he would be acquainted
with the condition of the roads,
so the county funds would be
spent in places where most
needed. There is only a ltttle
over two years left to make this
promise good, and we rural car
riers hope that these inspections
will be made during the rainy
season, so actual conditions can
be noted. Far as every Oregon
ian knows, in summer time all
roads are good. Places where
mud is axle deep at the present
time, we can ride on bicycle,
In the good old summer time.."
If every farmer would spend
one hour each -week with a
shovel opening the ditches and
draining some of the mud holes
along his own farm; or make a
KiDg drag and hitch on-to it

Graham & Wells Ask Catarrh
Sufferers to try Hyomei on -Their
Guarantee.
Graham & WeLa invite all who suffer
lroui any form of catarrhal tioubles to get
a Hyomei outfit from tuem with their
BUHolute guarantee that ii it does not iva
perlei-t baiislauiion, the money will be
retuudsd upon request.
There isno other treatment for catarrh
that la any way resembles Hyomei, noca
tbat gives Miun quick curative results and -iasung
datistaution, no medicine that can
take lis place, none that can be gold ou a
guarantee like thie, to refund tho
monuy unless ft euros
Oaiarru is a germ disease and can be
cjred only by breaming Hyomei, so tbat
tbe maat remote air cells in the nose,
throat and lungs are reached by its an
tiseptic healing powers. In this way all
catarrhal germs aie kilted, the irritated
mucous membrane is btaled and catarrh,
is driven from the system.
This wonderful medicated air treatment
does not drug and derange the stomach,
but is breathed through a little poiket
inhaler that goes with tvery dollar ouitit,
The unusual way ia which' Graham S

SUMMONS.
work, it would
anything that
clav roads in
nessed for other
help more than
can be done for
winter
As one of our speakers said, in
the good roads meeting held in
the Opera House a year or two
ago, "Mud is the fundamental
process of mixing water with
dirt," drain off the water and you
will have no mud.
It is almost time for road work,
so let every farmer in Bentoa
county and especially those on
the R. F D. routes, also the
county court of Benton county
get busy, if you wish to main
tain Rural Delivery for 4it is up
0 you," and we hope to see a
change for the better next win
ter. What greater calamity could
oefall Benton county in the way
of an advertisement, than to
have the Rrral Delivery discon
tinued on account of bad roads.?
Da you think Eastern people
would wish to settle here? I
guess not.
This is not written as a bluff,
but these are lacts as they now
exist. I am merely placing the
facts before you so if you want
Rural Delivery, you must do
something, before the Depart
ment takes the matter up; for
under the present conditions you
know well what the result would
be. H. M. Cum ming,
