YOU PROVE IT An invitation to all owners of cylinder machines—Columbia and others. We could argue the quality of Columbia Indestructible Cylinder Records until a year from now—but what good would it do you could not prove it for yourself by coming into our store and seeing and hearing it. We could print a whole newspaper every day about the special and original Columbia processes of manufacture—and get where at all if the Records did not bear evidence. COLUMBIA COLUMBIA INDESTRUCTIBLE CYLINDER RECORDS won't break, no matter how roughly they are used, they won't wear out, no matter how often they played. Moreover, their tone is far purer, clearer, more brilliant than that of any other cylinder record made. Don't merely take our word for it, come inside our store and listen. Cost 35 cents.

NOTCH FIGURE FOR ORANGE TRACT Invations Upon a Recent Realty Deal In Tulare County Islands Review: Once in a while islands orange grove owner gets sea in his mind that property is class has gone about as as it will go; that the recent day in orange grove property is its end. But that is far being the fact, if we are to be the old adage of history repeat-self. If orange groves have higher in other and less desir-places than they have here—they have—there is every rea- THE NEW TARIFF BILL President Taft has made it clear to the leaders of congress that he will engage in no controversies over specific duties in the tariff bill, though he adheres to his position that he will deem it to be his duty to veto the Payne bill if the senate deprives it of its revisionary features. The president has let it become known that if the tariff bill gives promise of inadequate revenue, congress may hear from him with a forceful recommendation of some form of income tax. He has already gone to the length of having the attorney general prepare a bill providing for a tax of two per cent on the dividends of certain corporations. Evidently Mr. Taft takes seriously his pledge and that of the republican platform to revise the schedules in the interest of the whole people and will see to it that there is an equitable readjustment in accordance with changed conditions. The maximum-minimum tariff plan in the Payne bill seems to meet with less opposition in Washington than when the bill was first introduced. Unquestionably the country wants tariff rates lowered generally and any arrangement which would involve applying maximum rates, except in an emergency, would meet with disapproval. The minimum both of protection and revenue should be clearly established, and the temporary application of the minimum rates to a small part of our importations should be treated as an accidental enlargement both of protection and revenue and as in no sense a "retaliatory measure." Consideration of amendments to Wands orange grove owner gets area in his mind that property class has gone about as it will go; that the recent stay in orange grove property is going its end. But that is far being the fact, if we are to be the old adage of history repeat-self. If orange groves have higher in other and less desirous places than they have here—they have—there is every reason expect that valuations of our groves will keep on going up. Review is in receipt of a co-author the Lindsay, Tulare county, Ga., in which there is a story of sale of a grove there at the rate 100 per acre. It was only a matter that is, there were no improvements upon the place to give it an essential value. It sold strictly on merits as a producing property. Why, as most growers know, is Tulare county citrus belt, the part of it, and it has soil the same as our own highly used land. The Lindsay groves generally good ones, but unprejudiced observers say they are not as Redlands or Highlands or Slide groves; they do not look well or produce as well. But have been enthusiastically boosted men who appreciate their valuation the grove sold was one lying half mile directly west of Lind-containing eight and one-half acres brought exactly $34,000 in and the purchaser is A. R. Wilf Denver, Colorado. It was taken by the seller just three and half years ago for $8500. Mr. Pinchot took from it crops of $9517, and $11,664. He paid on it for better and care in that time $4,-making his total cost $13,000. Total receipts and selling price $64,432 so his net profit has the comfortable sum of $51,432. The grove is all set to valencias the owner of the grove has had a good price for his fruit, and returns show. At the point the Review wants to make is that this or any other grove is no better than any woods grove, well planted and taken care of. We are still emergency, would meet with disapproval. The minimum both of protection and revenue should be clearly established, and the temporary application of the minimum rates to a small part of our importations should be treated as an accidental enlargement both of protection and revenue and as in no sense a "retaliatory measure." Consideration of amendments to the Payne tariff bill by the ways and means committee began this week and it is reported from an authoritative source, that the committee expects to report not less than two hundred amendments to the bill. This is about fifty less than were carried in the Dingley bill when it was considered for the second time by the committee. Doubtless the great majority of these amendments will be merely formal and of no importance so far as the country is concerned. DEFENSE OF CONSERVATION Gifford Pinchot, one of President Roosevelt's chief advisers in the conservation movement, recently visited Denver where he had been criticised as being a socialist and made a splendid defense of the forest service. "For the opposition it has excited," said Mr. Pinchot, "the forest service has no apologies whatever to make. It proposes to stand resolutely by the policy of preferring to help the small man make a living than to help the large man make a profit, and it will not abandon the policy of government control of the water power to prevent monopoly. If the attitude of the service in these matters leads to irritation and denunciation, then let the opponents of the service make the most of them. Neither in this nor in any other salutary policy adopted and maintained by the forest service will there be a single backward step." That is the talk of a statesman and of a patriot whose larger vision of the common good is not obstructed by private gain or individual self interest. so his net profit has the comfortable sum of $51,432. The grove is all set to valencias the owner of the grove has had a good price for his fruit, and returns show. At the point the Review wants to take is that this or any other grove is no better than any sides grove, well planted and taken care of. We are still orange groves down here for bids of prices, ranging from $1,- to $2000 an acre. Some day the will print just such a story one as to the sale of some sides grove, and the people who thought the limit was reached an acre will wonder why were so blind. In matter of bald fact, a Redgrove is worth $500 per acre than a Tulare county grove, if owner has to live on it. There is much difference in the climical general living conditions of places. Emergency military supply desoon to be established on Corliss Island, at the entrance to Bay, and an appropriation of $50 is available for the erectquartermaster, commissary and storehouses and other buildings be included in the depot. An excellent site from a milstandpoint, as its remoteness the mainland imparts to it the very quality of protection in war. Dip at Mullinix's. Mavilland China see A. Nagel. The "Budget Committee," composed of three members of the cabinet, with the secretary of the treasury as the chairman, recently created by the president is certainly an innovation in the federal government and one which will meet with general approval. This committee is to supervise all estimates for federal expenses before they are submitted to congress, with the object of so cutting them as to bring them within the limits of the estimated revenues for the same fiscal year. President Taft manifests every sympathy with the avowed aim of congress to curtail the federal expenses so as to restore that prosperity which the treasury has enjoyed until quite recently. On April 1 the last of the army of Cuban pacification left Havana on the army transports McClellan and Sumner, and now "Cuba Libre." Judge Magoon, until recently governor of the island, has no hesitation in declaring that the Cubans are capable of self-government, and that the great majority are peace-loving, sober, industrious, law-abiding citizens, inspired by the love of family and of country. Time will tell.
