campaign for marketing the 1914
crop of fruit in Western Oregon.
Mr. H. C. Sampson, secretary of
the N. P. F. D. who is directing this
movement, said: "Briefly stated,
the distributor in this case will be
the farmer himself in the selling
game. It is purely co-operative. The
organization will sell on a commiss
ion of 10 cents per box, which is suf
ficient to pay the expenses of salar
ied agents in all parts of the world
and of 67 special representatives.
Through these agents we distribute
the fruit to all parts of the world,
keeping markets fully supplied but
never overloaded."
In order to stimulate interest

that on completion of the budget it
will be possible to increase this sum
to $15,000. This will be in addition
to the $ 1 75.t't'( which will be dis
tributed in livestock prizes by the
authorities of the exposition.
Business men of John Day are or
ganizing in an effort to secure new
enterprises in that valley. Accord
ing to a statement issued by them,
there are exceptional opportunities
for a roller flour mill and for an up-to-date
creamery. They say that all
flour used in Grant county has to be
hauled in from distant outside points
while grain of all kinds is shipped
out of the valley, and that in John
Day and liear valleys a large amount
of milk is produced, a large part of
which is hauled 4 0 miles to Prairie
City, the nearest creamery. Busi
ness men and property owners are
ready to lend all possible assistance
to the establishment of these indus
tries. Work has been commenced iu the
preparation of a 400-acre tract of
land one mile from Hermiston for the
purpose of seeding the entile acreage
to alfalfa. The owner of the tract
expects the venture t: ! immensely
successful, as ho has ..ts procMc'icg
alfalfa in that vicinity for a number
of years.
It having been a sorted that a
large part of the land in the 1'matilla
Project is infertile and non-productive,
the Oregon Con er.ation Com
mission has had a representative go
arefully over the entire section, and
his report, just sent in. indicates
that under intelligent management
and cultivation that soil is extreme

f the farmers are doiiig veil. He
states that the bank nt Hermiston

THE TOLLS QUESTION
Spokesman-Hex iew.
While the passage by the senate of
the amended tolls bill may be super
ficially heralded as "another triumph
for President Wilson." it Is obviously
a victory of the Pyrrhian sort. "An
other such and xve are undone," say
some of the administration support
ers. While the president xvill probably
sign the amended measure, it is
known that the adopted Simmons
Norris amendments are not satisfac
tory to him. The president has not
had Iiis way in "ungrudging mea
sure." The amendments were grud
gingly accepted by the administration
after it became apparent that if
the president should Insist on trying
to force an un-amended house bill
through the senate there would be
grave probability of its defeat. As
finally passed the house bill carries
this important reservation.:
"Provided, that the passage of
this act shall not be construed or
held as a waiver or relinquishment
of any right the United States may
have under the treaty with Great
Britain, ratified the 21st of Febru
ary, 1902, or the treaty with the re
public of Panama, ratified February
2(1, 1904, or otherwise discriminate
in favor of its vessels by exempting
the vessels of the United States or
its citizens from the payment of tolls
for passing through said canal, or as
in any way waiving, impairing or af
fecting any right of the United States
under said treaty or otherwise xvitb
respect to the sovereignty over or the
ownership, control and the regula
tion of the conditions or charges of
tratlic through the same."
The distinction between this
grudging action and the ungrudging
epeal asked by the president is this
it leaves the whole issue open to
he threshed out in the coming poli
tical campaigns. The president had
lihriued that discrimination is in
b ar violation of the llay-Pauncefote
treaty. Congress xvouhl not travel
. ith him that far. It says, in effect,
that the treaty may or may not bar
discrimination. If not, the United
States expressly reserves all its rights
to deal as it pleases xvitb its domes
tic commerce.
The net result of President Wil
son's opening of the tolls question is
to provide his political opponents
with a nexv issue in 1914 and 1916,
and a bitter split in the ranks of his.
own party. Party leaders like
Speaker Clark, Chairman Under
wood, Congressional Chairman Fitz
gerald and Senator O'Gornian re
fused point blank to follow the pres
idential lead. Senator Tillman, while
reluctantly voting for the repeal,
could not with hold his indignant
riticism. T'te rank and file of the
purty in congress followed the presi
dent out in deference to the leader
ship of the presidential office. They
would have followed him just the
same if positions had been reversed
and the president Irad been support
ing no tolls against tolls advocated
by Clark, Underwood, Fitzgerald and
O'Gornian.
Mr. Underwood boldly declares a
belief that the canal tolls issue is
now squarely before the country.
"I am sure," said he in an inter
view last Saturday, "that further ctm
dderation of this i.-.sue, which now
.akes its place as a vital national
inestion, will Increase day by day
he keen interest of the people in its
ight solution. Within a year after
.he canal is opened the record of
statistics xvill tell the startling story.
Then it will be seen among the mul
itudes of vessels using the canal
.hat the Knglish or German or Jap
anese and other foreign ships mon
opolize the waterway, and how piti
fully few American vessels, either
foreign or domestic, are recorded as
pasing through.
"Then we shall see that with this
competition removed from ti e rates
if the transcontinental railways the
;reat bulk of transcontinental com-i
nerce will be carried from New York
ind the east to Seattle and San Fran
tisco by the transcontinental rail-A-ays,
just as it is today, and that the
eduction of transcontinental rates
i)y competition, which was one of the
rreat fundamental reasons why the
American people voted to build the
canal, has been defeated by this nar
row and short-sighted policy xvbicli
refused to offer inducements to our
oxvn ships to use the canal."
Mr, Underwood stigmatizes Presi
dent Wilson's policy as "maudlin"
and glories in bis successful fight
against it.
"I only wish It was to do over
again, so that I might do it more
vigorously if not more successfully,"
he declares. "I have been in many
great fights in congress. I have been
successful and I have been defeated.
I have had explanations for some
victories or for some defeats, and
perhaps now and then some regrets.
But In all my congressional career I
have never been in any forensic bat
tle in which I was absolutely more
certain that I xvas rlglit than in the
fight for free tolls for American
ships."
The president has drawn not only
the fire of the opposing parties, but
the hot fire of strong leaders within
his own party. When he signs the
repeal bill lie will set this lively issue
squarely before the American people.
