Til IS paper is in receipt
1 from the Chicago Tribune:
" In vour-jmlgmont should President Tuft sign the wool
bill, the farmers free list, bill and the cotton bill' .Do yon
believe the president should veto these bills and wail for
reports from the tariff commission on which scientii it
tariff reduction can be based'? Please telegraph reply at
onr expense."
The following reply was sent:
"Tnft should sign wool, farmers free list and cotton
bills, as every reduction of the tariff means that much
less robbery."
Much more could have been said, but this covers the
ground.
Tariff regulation bv commission is as yet theoretical.
Tt depends upon the personnal of the commission, and
tfcit is taking a Ions: chance. There never was a commis
sion the interests did not pack or attempt to pack.
I There is no reason why the people should bo pilfered
needlessly until this "scientific reduction" is figured out.
There never was any science, except that of greed and
grab, used in making a tariff. The bludgeon of the inter
ests was the only instrument employed and thp bludgeon
of the people will have to force whatever reduction is
secured.
A president who declared the Payne-Aldrich bill the
"best tariff" ever, is apt to appoint a "best commission"
along the same lines.
The tariff imposes an artificial restraint upon business
and destroys the workings of the natural law of supply and
demand. It creates the multi-millionairs and the pauper.
It robs the many for the benefit of the few, and Taft
should sign all bills that reduces the loot of the pilferers.
RAILROADS, PRESS BUREAUS AND HIGHWAYS.
ABOUT the time that the Southern Pacific decided to
make the newspapers pay in cash instead of adver
tising for transportation, the railroad opened a press
bureau and began sending newspapers a Tegular service
of alleged news matter for publication. Some of it is of
general information more of it is cleverly disguised ar
gument to create a friendly feeling for the railroads.
This paper has always been generously treated by the
Southern Pacific in the matter of transportation, yet u
is glad the change has been made, and nine-tenths of the
newspapers feel the same way about it for the transpor
tation was a source of a great deal' of aunoyauce from
grafters.
But why should the Southern Pacific now expect news
papers to print their press matter free, and at the same
time cut off reciprocal favors? That is a fair saihplc of
railroad logic, and helps explain how freight rates arc
made.
Most of the press guff sent out by the railroad finds
its way to the waste basket. The real news is culled at
least by this paper with the editorial features, the only
portion of real value to the railroad, eliminated.
Press matter sent out by the Southern Pacific "for
release August 8" contains a suppositious interview with a
mvthical "Si Hawkins" a horny handed son of toil, who
has figured out "while walking between the handles of
a plow" that high railroad freight rates had nothing to
do with the high cost of living, but that muddy roads,
middle-mens profits and unscientific distribution were
the real causes.
Si didn't live in the Rogue River Valley, or he would
know a thing or two about railroad rates more than he
does. He would learn something as to how rates are fixed
that would surprise him. He would learn that he was
paying several times the average cost per ton mile of the
country. He would learn that a mythical state boundary
line made a vast difference in rates, and that if he wanted
to ship goods to Medford from San Francisco, ha could
save 11 cents a hundred pounds by shipping them first
through Medford to Portland and back again to Med
ford. But Si makes one good point and that is the only
excuse for mentioning this railroad press dope here
the actual cost to the farmer of poor roads and how much
more vital the road problem is that even the freight rate
question. This portion of Si's remarks are reproduced:
"It took me a whole day with a team and wagon to
haul 1500 pounds of hogs the ten miles I had to go. At
the rate of $3.50 per day for team and driver, I easily
ascertained that the wagon haul, without allowing any
thing for repairs or keeping of myself and team, was cost
ing 46 cents a ton per mile. When roads were not muddy,
I hauled 2500 pounds to a load and yet that was 28 cents
a ton per mile. ,,.-..,,
"It cost me $3.50 o haul 1500 pounds, whereas with
good roads I could haul G000 pounds at the same cost,
showing very clearly to me that on that wagon haul I
had a clean waste and loss of 75 per cent. When I realized
that this enormous waste applied to all the great farm
crops of this great countryfor every pound or ton of
surplus farm products must be moved by wagon to the.
cars or elevators at tne railway suiwim x w Bug
gered." The farmer is more benefitted by good roads than any
other class for to him they mean a business saving.

NORTH PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 7.
Receipts for tho past weeic have
been n follows: Cattle UT2, calves
74, hogH SID, sheep 9S8S, horsoa and
in u I oh 43.
While offerings lu tho cattle divi
sion wero fewer In number thnu the
provtuus week quality was better and
tho anarkot took a. higher tone. Ooo
lot of well finished steers Hold for
$5.90 which topped tho market for
tho week with tho exception of ono
load of extra choice stuff that brought
6c. Medium steers sold around f 6.35
to $5.00 but uh usual tho buyers seem
to prefer tho better grades, although
all classes found a ready sale. Sev
eral lota of prlmo cowa ami helfera
brought ."ic: very few good voul cal
ves on tho market, ouu small lot
brought 7c with brisk demand. Hulls
and stags remained steady at former
quotations. Tuklng everything Into
consideration Indications are that the
markot has steadied up somewhat and
that cattle, especially tho brut grades
wilt continue to bring prices quoted.
Hogs came to the front again with
an advanco of 2Cc, making a top of
8c for tho swlno division. Receipts
are still very light, not enough coming
In to make an Impression on tho de
mand. If It was not for tho fact that
several shipment!! of eastern bogs
were received during the week there
would be a dearth of pork on the
markot.
Although receipts of snoop wore :i
third greater than last week tho mur
ket continued strong on best grodea
of mutton. Eastern Oregon and
Washington lambs aro bringing Jfi.GO
to $5.05, valley lambs from $, l"
$5.25. Some choice yearlings sold ns
high as $a.7C, wethers brought $3.35
for a top and ewes $3.00. ThoBe
prices wero" considered highly sells
factory by feeders and owners alike
taking luto consideration tho con
gested Btato or tho market that has
obtained during the last six weeks
or month.
While several cars of horses were
received during tho week they wero
