LA FOLLETTE ON THE TARIFF
In a recent editorial, Senator La
Follett speaks as follows in regard
to the new Democratic tariff bill:
"No tariff measure, with its thous
ands of rates, can attain perfection,"
says Senator l.a Kollcttc. "The ques
tion presented at this time is a choice
1)etweeii this bill, with its general lev-,
cl of duties on manufactured products,
reasonable just to home industries,!
excepting as 1 have indicated, and the
iniquitous rates imposed upon the
American people by the Paync-Al-j
ilrich law. j
"On this issue, which involves the
general welfare of the millions in
every walk in life, partisan polities'
should have no place. The contest
is generally between the people and
entrenched privilege. It is an unequal
t niggle, and calls for the highest
service which men now in public life
can render to their country.
"The .trusts and combinations in
their relentless oppression of the pub
lic have been materially aided by the
"monstrous tariff law enacted, four
yeVrs ago. Their power will not be
lirke n when that law is supplanted
by, the present bill. But its passage
is Aiguificaut. ft marks a change.
It s the winning of the first battle
in he long war which must be waged
against industrial monopoly. This
warfare is not against legitimate busi
ness. It is against the tyranny of
tmlawdil combinations, over-protected,
over-slimulaled, over-capitalized.
"A close study of this hill will con
vince any unbiased mind that in the
, main excepting upon food products
; the general plan and purpose of
those who framed the bill, was to
lower (he high and often prohibitory
tariff r.ites of the I'aync-Aldrieh law.
to such a level as to insure enough
fore it; n competition to prevent the
combinations, formed behind the tar
iff wall, from continuing to exact mon
opoly prices from the consumer. And
on the other hand the conclusion will
be reached that it was not their pur
.ov to admit enough foreign com
petition to injure American nianufac
iurers who are dealing fairly with
the American people."
THE NEXT GOVERNOR
When the term of the present chief
executive oi rrgun expires, the
Denioi i ,i ts will tie called upon t
nominate a candidate lor go ernor
As-.mii ine i li.n i lo ci nor West re
mains linn in his determination not
to accept a icnoiniuation, what Ueut
cm: rat can command the must strength
and in. ike the most ;mU- cxivntixe in
the event of his election? This ques
tion liie Democrat is not prepared to
answer. This paper has no candidate
and tin faoiite amon those whose
names have been mentioned. With
us it is a simple question of the
Mrougcst ami most available man for
the place.
This much is certain, however. The
Democracy of Oregon cannot afford
to enter the light with a weak can
didate. It cannot afford to permit
a self appointed Moses to lead the
pail- ilitough a bitter campaign. It
can: afford to trust to division in
Ihc ranli of the opposition or to the
. f chance. There must be some
s iftn .niiy of action among the par
ty t'-.idvrs and the proec of elimina

T' use who atc first interested in
1V 'ur ' ' an,! vho
a t c.il .i ,n grind will put aside
their individual preference if they
find that their preference conflicts
with the chances of nominating and
electing a good, clean and able man.
The people of Oregon are looking
to the Democracy of the state for
the right kind of a governor and the
failure of the rank and file to nomi
nate that. kind of a man will most as
suredly mean defeat.
A Good thing at Times Not to Know
Where Your Next Meal is
Coming From.
In the October American Magazine
David Grayson, author of "Adven
tures in Contentment," writes a sketch
entitled "The Friendly Road," in
illicit he describes a tramp and phil
osophizes on tramping. The follow
ing is an extrac't:
"In a book I read not long ago
the writer provides in his imaginary
perfect state of society a class of
leaders known as Samuari. And
from time to time it is the custom of
these Samuari to cut themselves loose
from the crowding world of men, and
with picks on their backs go away
alone to far places in the deserts or
on Arctic ice caps, J am convinced
that every man needs some such
change as this, an opportunity to 1
think things out, to get a new grip
on life, and a new hold on God. Jlut
not for me the Arctic ice cap or the
desert! I choose the Friendly Road
and all the common people who
travel in it or live along it I choose
even the busy city at the end of it
"I assure you friend, that it is a
wonderful thing for a man to cast
himself freely for a time upon the
world, not knowing where his next
meal is coming from, nor where he
is going to sleep for the night. It is
a surprising read jus ter of values. I
paid my way 1 think, throughout my
pilgrimage; but I discovered that
stamped metal is far from being the
n Id's only true coin. As a matter
of fact, there arc many things that
men prize higher because they are
rarer and more precious."

the hurried trip. Leaving shortly be
fore twelve oc lock, Mr. ivcnuedv
planned to get back in Eugene within
the next two hours.
Better Street Car Service Discussed.
Plan Is to Become Thoroughly
Familiar With Road Con
ditions Throughout.
IS STEP TAKEN TO IN
AUGURATE NEW PLAN
Voluntary Road Work to Be
Encouraged and Road Tax
ation Not to Be Increased.
To familiarize themselves with the
conditions of the roads throughout
the county, to 'inspect the work of
the past year, to ascertain the needed
improvements and to take in condi
tions generally, County Judge Bruce
Mc Knight and Commissioners Butler
and Russell, comprising the Linn
county court, will leave some time
about the first of the month on a
tour of the county. They will make
the trip by automobile and expect to
make the trip in about three days,
This is virtually the first step to
1)6 taken towards the inauguration
'of the county court's new plan for
road construction and betterment in
Linn county as launched some time
ago by County Judge McKnight.
At that time thc county court an
nounced elaborate plans which are
to be placed into effect the first of
the year. Road supervisors are to be
elected by the people, at least the
county court will appoint whoever
the majority of the people of a road
district selects. To this end it is the
plan to encourage as much voluntary
road work throughout the county as
possible.
"We are going to make a special ef
fort to get as much road work done
this coming year as possible," said
Judge McKnight yesterday afternoon,
"during the past year we have done
a great deal and I think the roads
throughout thc county are in good
shape generally. Good weather has
helped to substantially carry out the
work. At present we have nine or
ten rock crushers located in various
parts of thc county and it can be seen
that we are well equipped for work
ing up the material for road construc
tion. We are going to spend as much
money as we can afford on the roads
and at thc same time wc arc going to
encourage as much volunteer road
work as possible. Under this plan the
creased. Linn county will not take
advantage of the bonding and state
aid act as passed by die last legisla
ture as far as I am concerned. My
plan is pay as we go, or. levy a tax
when you have to levy one. Thc in
terest on borrowed money would
build many roads and I think it is
better to keep clear of debt as much
as possible."
In explaining his plan for volunteer
road work, the judge said: "When
the taxation was taken off of house
hold goods and automobiles in the
counties, freeholders were exempt
from taxation in the counties. By not
increasing the burden of taxation and
encouraging volunteer road work, we
can get as much road work done,
without injury of heavy taxation to
the property owners. For instance,
if you would like to donate a sum or
even some work towards fixing a bit
of road, why.it will be your privilege
;:l you win !:ave aJl t.ic crvourage-
! mcnt to dn
V e wo-i i adopt the
I Missouri nlan of sett in ir nnp dnv nsM
; be paying' entirely for work that will
