I think the eount y should improve, but I will stop all improvements if elected. .1 favor permanent highways, but V don't favor a bond issue for them. 1 believe business methods should prevail in the court house but I will do nothing to secure them other than in my own office. .1 believe in low taxes but depend upon direct taxa tion to reduce indebtedness and build roads. .1 believe in the count v's development but would wait until the count v's indebtedness has been paid off by direct taxation. I believe in business methods but my idea of business is to sit on the lid four veal's or longer until the county is out of debt. I believe in efficiency but my idea of efficiency is economv. SETTLERS WORTH $83 A SACRAaIEXTO dispatch states that the Southern Pacific companv has decided that northern California must be thickly settled even if it is necessary to haul the settlers free of charge. Td this end the company is plan ning the greatest campaign of publicity for immigration purposes it litis attempted in California. Southern California has hereto lrad most of the rail road's attention, but land values sire out of reach of the average settler, so that they are to be brought to northern California where land is cheap. Every settler, it is esti mated, is worth $S3 per year to the railroad. If settlers are worth $83 per in California they are worth still more in southern Oregon, where freightrates arc higher, so that one cannot help being amazed at the short-sighted policy that withheld the Oregon railroad grant lands from settlement. Think of the earnings and dividends lost to the railroad by keeping so vast an area undeveloped and unsettled! If the railroad now finds it advantageous to haul colo nists free in California to populate land owned by others, how much more advantageous it would have been to secure cash fares for hauling settlers willing to pay the railroad cash for its own lauds in Oregon ! It is gratifying to note that the new management of the Southern Pacific has awakened to the fact that there is a northern California, which the old regime seemed ignor ant of. Let us hope that some day the Oregon grant lands will also- be on the market. TAFT'S PROGRESSIVE POLICIES. TAFT is described as a true progressive by the stand pat papei"s, but somehow or other no one believes it. Here is a brief record of some of his progressive meves: Began his administration with an alliance with Cannon and Aldrich. Used his patronage power to re-elect Cannon as speak er, with Tammany's aid. Signed the Aldrich-Paync tariff bill revising the tariff upward and commended it as the best tariff ever. Prevented the adoption of an income tax bill and sub stituted the corporation tax. Fathered the railroad act of 1910 which if passed as drafted would have destroyed railroad regulation. Fathered the commerce court to suspend and nullify decisions of the Interstate Commerce commission. Vetoed all tariff bills passed at the extra session low ering duties, claiming intelligent action impossible until the tariff commission reported. Negotiated iu secret a pact and forced it through con gress, for Canadian reciprocity, without a thought of ask ing the tariff commission. Advocated government built and own lines between this country and Panama, then changed his mind and aban doned the policy, giving the railroads their fii-st great vic tory. These acts are diametrically opposed to what Roosevelt dominated "my policies" and show clearly enough that Taf't has deserted and bet raved Roosevelt not Roosevelt, Tuft. Money and Finance (Dy E. L. McClure.) i Jlr. Ooorgo E. Jtoborte, director of! tho mint, In his artlcla "Tho Next! Uoforin Banking," published In ) March, Everybody's magazine, has demonstrated by his own figures that tlm "Aldrich plan" Is unsound. It only approximate! financial security and Is merely tentative until oxperl onco may develop fcomothlng moro re liable. How can any combination of dobt ors Hustulu credit whou credit abso lutely lasts on ability to pay, and It Ik common knowledge that no bank In the world can pay Its depositors on doinnud. Specie payment Is now sustained b u rotwrve of ?1.'0, 000,000 iu tho United Statos treasury, which J. P. Morgan, or any other money Icing, Is capable of withdrawing ut will if it uhould bo to his advantage to do so. Should tho reservo dlsapponr any person having duties to pay would not bo able to get gold from tho United States tioufatiry. That fact would cntiuo gold to disappear from olicula tlon, and it would necessarily follow that uppllcutlon would bo inudo to J. P. Morgan for gold In exchango for paper money. It he fixed tho' r.tto or discount !J0 It would fix the valuo of ten tents ou tUe dollar for MTCDFOttD MATT TRIBUNE, DUNN'S CREED. EACH TO RAILROAD. nil paper money in circulation. The "Aldrich plan" transfers from tho government' to tho National He serve association the authority to Is sue money and "this ustioclutlon Is designed to be u public ugoucy to supervise und support the bank cred its of tho country, supply tho circu lating medium, und maintain the convertibility of that medium Into gold. " All earnings above 5 per cent shall bo paid Into thto government treasury." "The ultimate capital of tbo National Reserve association will be 20 per cent of tho aggregate capital of tho subscribing banks, and will cury as new banks arc added or old ones drop out. Tho stock Is nontransferable, so that the holdings In this proportion are fixed," Tho banks of tho United StutwJ now owo depositors payablo on de mand $20,000,000,000, while the to tal circulation of gold coin In the United Statos Is less than ? 1,500, 000, 000, The consolidation of all the assets of the bunks In one associa tion does not decrease tho liabilities to depositors, and ovory depositor wants his bulauce In u punk, becuuso he has use for It and tlint Is the rea son he keeps money on deposit; nnd the moment any baul; cannot pay a MEDflOTm OTCTWOX.

All economists point out tho defects of money ns a measure of value, showing that everv change In supply and demand for money changes the value of all other things In Inverse ratio. Inflicting less on every ono on the wrong side of exchange with every fluctuation In tho vuluo of money. The limitations of every money system throughout civilization have established the universally ac cepted bellej; tlmt a fixed and un changeable measure of value Is unat tainable, because the law of supply and demand readers It an utter Im possibility according to all accepted precedent and authority. Hut prece dent and nuthoilty has condemned every other natural law until common knowledge compelled them to recog nize the truth. (To lie Continued.) POLITICAL CARDS (Paid Advertisement.)
