One C M’ Norton who is quite

his usual haunts at Sulphur where
he was publishing the New Cen-

Parties driving southwest of
town report the appearance in
that section of thousands of
hicken hawks the sight being
one never before seen in this
ocality The birds covered whole
quarter sections when on the
ground and when flying Were
continually circling forming
spiral columns that reached from
the ground to ns high in the air as
the eye could preeeive That
they were migrating was evidenced
from the fact that when on the
ground those farthest north were
contiuuall flying south wlicu they
arose Not one was observed that
flew north It was conjectured by
those who witnessed the sight that
the birds had descended for food
and rest although seeming to
have no preference as to a lighting
place The wheat fields pastures
ami tree tops all were used The
flight of so largo a body without a
noUe of any kind accompanying it
seemed strange but the hawk is
not a noisy bird — Medford

NEWS FROM THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL
By Clyde II Tavenner
Vashington Oct 2— M’hy do
protectionists never point to
Itlay as an illustration of how ex-
cessive tariff rates “protect” the
common people?
Itlay is one of the most highly
protected countries of Europe It
is famous as n country “flowing
with milk and honey”
Yet they never talk about
Italy do the upward revisionists
M’liile in Italy three years ago
the writer learned nt first ham
some of the reasons why our pro
tectionbts never say “Look at
Italy”
Italy puts heavy duties ou both
agricultural ami mauufrcturei
imports She pays her people ex-
ceedingly low wages She charges
them very high prices for the
necessities of life They emigrate
in large numbers
To undei stand the situation
clearly we must go back to 1887
About that time a violent revolu-
tion in the system of Italian eus-
was brought about A
mwerful political group of tex-
tile manufacturers joined forces
or their own ends with a powerful
lolitical group ’of largo land-
owners Tariffs were heavily in-
creased: But not on everything
That poweiful hand of texile
manufactures took good cure that
csser manufacturers who made
articles needed in the texile
'actories were not enabled to put
up their prices'
Hand in baud with the powerful
manufacturers the big laml-
owuers came out “for a slice of
the tariff pie” In order that
they should be sufficiently com-
pensated for being in polities the
andowuers had a heavy tax plac-
ed on wheat In Italy it is only
the big landowners who grow
wheat Three out of every four
andowners in ' Italy are posses-
sors of small proportics cultiva-
ting fruit for wine They have to
buy a considerable part of the
wheat they eat So it happened
that where one largo wheat fanner
got bigger profits- three small
fruit farmers got hit That is the
way protection invariably works
out M’hat is one man’s pro-
tections iu another man’s poison
Ilrk however this future re-
sult of the Italian tax on wheat
Millions of Italians never eat
wheat bread except -in cases of
illness or on special festivals
They ' make a bread maize In
this and in other respects the
standard of living of the Italian
people is very low because
prices are too high
An enormous fiscal and protec-
tive tax was also put upon sugar
The prices rose so high that
Italian farmers watched their
oranges lemons peaches and
other products of a warm and
generous sun rot on their trees in
order that that the 33 manufac-
turers of the sugar syndicate
might levy upou consumers a
yearly tribute”
Far and away the chief of the
Italian industries are silk reeling
anil silk throwing Those in-
dustries have been seriously
hampered by protection And
Italy is the home of the silkworm
One of the chief troubles of
Italy is that the general rise in
prices has so greatly lessened the
purchasing power of wages Of the
people that the great mass of the
small dealers and the workingmen
and women suffer bitterly
It is calculated that while ten
Italians lose by protection only
one stands eny chance of gaining
lie does not always gain for the
country does not progress The
interests of Italy are sacrifficed to
the one in ten
In other words excessive tariffs
i icreased the cost of living to the
Italian people just as the Pajne-
Aldrich law is increasing the cost
of living in the United States
Is it any wonder that the pro
tectionists never ask us to “Look
at Italy?”
DOTH ARE RIGHT
Theodore Roosevelt candidate
for a third term as president sail
recently: “Taft now reprseuts the
bosses and the Republican party
is composed of them and the ves
ted interests of the countiy”
And President Taft said
“Rooscvlt is not a Kapulican but
represent a one-man party whose
chief advisers are the harvester
and steel trust magnates”
Senator LaFollette of NViscon
sin also a Republican says both
Taft and Roosevelt are telling
the truth about each other Am

jaFollette has had enough ex
poriencewith both Messrs Taft
and Rooscvel to know what he is
talking about
The anwer is M’in M’ith Wil-
son! DIVORCE 1 HE PHILIPPINES T
One tremendous expense now
being born lv the American tax-
payers that will be lifted in the
event of the election of a Demo-
crtic president and Democratic
Ilouso the cost of governing the
Philippine Islands which is
jeing done against the desire of 93
percent of the Filipino people Ten
years ago Senator Hoar stated in
the Senate that upto that time the
cost hail been $(00000000 Since
then we have kept in those islands
an average of 12277 troops It
cost the government $1500 an-
nually to maintain each soldier
The cost alone of maintaining the
military forces in the Philippines
last yeur was over $2(1000000
It is safe t j affirm that the sum
which would be annually saved
were the United States to relin-
quish sovereignty over the Philip-
pine Islands would not fall short
of $50000000 Democratic suc-
cess meuns the divorcing of the
islands and Republican success
means their retention
TARIFF TAX EXTORTIONS
Here are some figures showing
the tariff tax paid by the average
American family which tell their
own story: '
M’rtge Earner’s Family $82 a
year
Salary Earner’s Family 1$14Q
a year
Professional Man’s Family $140
a year
SENATOR CLAPP TESTIFIES
Senator Moses E Clapp of
Mnuesota says:
“You will hear it said constantly
with reference to something on
which'the price has been advanc-
ed Oh that isn’t in the tariff at
all That increase has nothing to
do with the tariff But the fact
is that the tariff reaches all along
the line You can’t raise the cost
of living to a man who is pro-
ducing something to sell without
forcing that man to raise corre-
spondingly the price of what he
has to sell”
