Canadian Freight Cars Can No Longer be
Struggled Into the United States.

OTTAWA, ONT, April 24.-The Minister
of Customs was yesterday shown dispatch
from Washington having reference to the
proposed imposition of a duty on Canadian
ears in use IN the United States. He said
he thought the statement that there are 8. 900
cars in constant use on United States roads
must apply to cars which are kept constantly
in the United States and not to those which
pass in and out of that country.

Canada and taken into the United States,
they are not returned, as they should be-.
Making them pay duty will put stop to
this practice, which has prevailed for a long

ALIEN LAND HOLDINGS

following amendment to section Il, OF the bill OF
rights Of the Constitution:
Section i1.-No distinction shall ever be
made between citizens Of the State of Kansas
and the citizens Of other States and Territories
Of the United States, In reference to the pur-
chase, enjoyment or descent OF property. The
right of aliens TO the purchase, enjoyment or
descent OF property may be regulated by law"
The we'll understood purpose of this amend
ment was TO permit the enactment of laws pro-
hibiting the accumulation OF vast landed es-
tates by alters. Such Accommodations are detri-
mental to the interests Of the State, and should

amendment above recited, should be enacted

each year, and then agree upon an equal basis
