JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
In his message to congress Taft savs that when he
vetoed the tariff reform bill he was "not possessed of ado-J
quate knowledge to determine whether or not the proposed
act was in accordance with his pledge to support a fair and
reasonable tariff policy."
Was Taft possessed of tho "adequate knowledge"
when ho signed schedule K of the Payno-Aldrioh bill
which he has been forced since to admit "indefensible"
and which his own board shows an outrage?
Hut Taft's tariff board does not recommend any par
ticular nit os of duty and Taft now asks congress to reduce
tho duties on wool and woolens. So it is once more up to
congress whoso conclusion on tho tantt. had been embodied
in the bill which Taft vetoed, because it was a democratic
insurgent measure.
Taft blundered when ho signed the Fayno-Aldrich
tariff bill and has been foYeod to admit it. Tho tariff
board s report proves that ho blundered again whun he
vetoed the tariff reform bill.

Any competition that gets the business must be recog

The principal reason the farmer sends liis trade to the
catalog bouses is the patent one that he believes their
prices are lower than can be obtained from the local mer
chants. If he is right in his belief that the mail order prices are
lower, then the dealers aro to blame for letting this con
dition obtain.
On the other hand, if he is wrong, if tho prices in the
local stores are as low as the others, then the home dealers
are at fault m not taking aggressive steps to convince him
of it, steps such as the mail order houses took to convert
him to their side.
Successful merchants keep in touch with the rural pop
ulation and show that trade is appreciated. Special ef

A CREDITABLE ISSUE.
r"pLTE Gold Hill News is out with a 20 page Christinas
- number, tho largest and most creditable issue ever
published in that city. The news matter is home print
and speaks well not only for the enterprise and ability of
the publisher, Rex Lampman, but also for the merchants
and business men of that thriving city.
To print a 20 page paper in Gold Hill is an achieve
ment entailing difficulties appreciated only by those fa
miliar with the limitations of the country print shop. As
the editor remarks:
"The Christmas number of the News probably repre
sents a greater effort, comparatively, than was expended
by the Portland Oregonian on its great anniversary num
ber, or than will be expended by the Medford Mail Tribune
on its big New Year's edition. Ilindcrcd and hampered by
a lack of labor-saving machinery and adequate equipment,
and crippled by the financial inability to employ compe
tent help, the average country publisher must of necessity,
if his paper is to make a creditable showing, work harder
every, dayjn the year than tho. city newspaper man. who!
has (ivovy high-priced aid at his fingers' ends. Then, too,)
there is no "division of labor" in a country printshop, as
lliere is in a eitr office. The country publisher compos
itely takes the place of all the big salaried men in all de
partments on the city paper. He leaves an editorial on
the iniquitious tariff "up in the air" to kick off some dance
bills on the job press. However, he is "on the job" be
cause he likes it, and this is a plain statement of fact
rather than a complaint.
"The reader will find these twenty pages filled with
clean, timely reading matter, and will note that the adver-
r.isovK linvft "enmf! fln,mio,li" rrmiorniiKlv. Advertising
patronage is the sinews of war of all legitimate news-!
papers, and it. will almost invariably be iound that the
excellence of a country newspaper is in exact ratio to the
amount of advertising it carries. In other words, the
country publisher makes as good a paper as he can afford
to make and often better." ;1-
And in this case, at any rate, the editor has succeeded.
