Wednesday, Nov. i3, 1907.
But a few days ago it was an
nounced by the Cudatty Packing
Company, of Omaha, that a reduc
tion of 10 per cent would be made
to tbe retailer in all meat products
handled by that concern. It is iiu.
derstood, as a matter of course,
that similar reductions will be ex
tended by the retailer to the con
sumer, and thus we have the indi
cation of a much-desired lowering
in th price ot staple foods.
Whether thi3 action of the Cuda
hy people will become general as n
result of the financial flurry of the
time it is difficult to say, but that
there is demand for it; that it would
not be a detriment to general busi
ness interests, but quite to the con
trary, a mere lopping off of exces
sive profit quite advantageous to
the public is self-evident.
No feature of the trenuous pros
perity of the pust few years has
been more luarked, or created
greater discomfort, that the combi
nations within combinations that
have affected the price of the ueces
sities ot life throughout the coun
try. The profit in these trust-bred
transactions had no legitimate con
nection with the law of normal sup
ply and demand. It has been
simply an unwarranted gain for
those who have been shrewd and
unscrupulous enough to milk the
public by the elimination of compe
tition. From start to finish this
evil of high prices is a systematic
one. Originating with the great
producing trusts, the lesson of com
bination has been taught to the
smaller dealer, and in some cases
the latter has been left out of con
sideration entirely by the power of
the big trust to make prices that
would hold until the goods were in
the hands of the consumer.
But where the small dealer has
been left to exercise his business
judgment in tbe matter of fixiDg
prices, he has rapidly appreciated
the commercial value of the com
bine, and in nearly all lines of trude
has been able to arbitrarily fix u
price tar above what should have
been charged, ami which has op
erated as a serious burden on the
man whose income depends upon
his labor.
There is room for much reform
in this mutter that will prove of
positive benefit -reform that, as we
say, will not affect the general pros
perity of the country any further
thmi to insure a more comltortable
distribution of the wealth so rapid
Jy created. It would simply do
away with enormous profit-making
by the few to the palpable advan
tage of the many. If the Ciulahy
announcement is the forerunner of
this new o.-der of things it is trebly
welcome. Telegram.
As will be seen in another column
the Civic Improvement Commit

With this particularly strong com

assured And more will he accomp

Railroad Collision at Albany.
Albany, Nov. 11. The Lebanon
train, consisting of a baggage car
and two passenger cars, was
knocked from the track and com
pletely wrecked this morning by
the Cottage Grove local running
into it just as its engine had passed
the junction out upon the main
line.
The engine just escaped. Con
ductor Cummins and the baggage
man jumped just in time, and also
the fireman on the Cottage Grove
local, the latter being bruised up
some. There were 2.'l passengers
in the last car of the Lebanon train,
none of whom was iujured. The
Cottage Grove train is said to have
been three minutes early, while the
Lebanon train was on time. The
collision happened in a dense fog.
Little damage was done the Cot
tage train, though the engine was
disabled.
REASONS
For the Holidays and Clearing House
Basis.
ily John C. Ainsworth of Portland.
The financial outlook as we try
to analyze it is as remarkable and
complicated as one could well im
agine. On Monday of this week out of a
clear sky came telegrams from all
the principle cities of the Middle
West, stating that the credit bal
ances of the Pacific Coast cities,
amounting to several millions of
dollars, were simultaneously tied
up under clearing house regula
tions until further notice, and that
orders for shipments of coin or cur-
rency would not be recognized.
Portland is peculiarly situated in
that she has acted as a reserve cen
ter for Tacoma, Seattle and Spo
kaneor tbe Inland Empire and
as these cities, cut off from every
other point, received telegrams of a
similar tone to those referred to.
they immediately called upon Port
land for heavy shipments of gold.
Portland responded as best she
could, and naturally looked to her
source of supply, viz, San Francis
co, when to our utter astonishment
we learn that even with a United
States sub-treasury and a mint
there, not one dollar was forthcom
ing from this central point.
For years past it has been pos
sible to deposit telegraphic ex
change in New York to the credit
of the Treasurer of the United
States, and receive payment in gold
through the sub-treasury in San
Francisco. At this time this facili
ty of the Government has been de
nied us, presumably because of the
drain on New York funds resulting
from such transfers by our western
banks.
Portland, thus cut off had but to
fall back on her owu resources, not
only for her own needs, but for
those of the interior banks of Ore
gon and Washington.
we have also been asked to car
ry the heavy pay rolls of the rail
road companies, for which we re
ceived drafts on St. Paul and San
Francisco.
The result has been that we have
not properly cared for our interior
banks and have been helpless to
lend more than a tiifling assistance,
and for that reason it was thought
wise to resort to the only other pro
tection, namely a legal holiday.
Washington followed suit, and Cal
ifornia has fallen into line and will
continue it indefinitely until the
sky clears.
We have hopes and fully believe
that shortly facilities will be afford
ed through the San Francisco mint
or sub-treasury which will almost
immediately relieve the situation.
Until this assistance is afforded,
in my opinion the Governors of the
three states Oregon, Washington
and California should act jointly
and continue from day to day the;

legal holiday, thus allowing busi
ness to be transacted as usual with
the slightest inconvenience to nny
one, and at the same time affording
protection to our hundreds of in
terior banks, who through no fault
of their owd, are in a position to
withstand uurensonable demands
made upon them. Unlike the con
ditions in 1So3, when it was impos
sible to "get blood out of a turnip"
the resources and wealth of our
country were never so great as they
are now, so that it would appear j
that remedying the situation is j
simply a question of solving a prob- j
lem that is possible of solutiou. j
One other cause of tho tempor- 1
ary blocking the movement of our
splendid wheat crop is the fact that '
our 6o-day bills on London (valued I
at from $loo,ooo to $150,000 each), j
representing our loaded wheat ships
in the harbor, cannot be sold at any j
of the money centers of tliecoun-!
try, thus absolutely stopping the;
wheat buying from the farmers, i
This, however, can only be tempor -
ary with the balance of trade so
heavy in favor of the United States
at this season cf the year. j
It is to be hoped that with these j
wonderful crops and other products
of our soil, representing so much
wealth, that tho wheels of com
merce may soon be'set in motion
again. The Spectator.
