darted out. He was overhauled at the

dropped. He was very cool. He is

HATCH'S BILL is OUT.
Tho Amended Anti Option Measure Re-
ported to the House.


The House Committee or Agricul-
ture has formally adopted the report
prepared by Mr.. Hatch's subcommittee
in favor OF the anti-option bill. The
measure as agreed upon is the Hatch
bill with some notifications In line
with the suggestions made some time
ago by Senator Washburn. The bill
does not propose to interfere with fu-
ture contracts for the delivery OF actual
products, but it levies special tax on
those dealers in options or futures who
at the time of making such contracts or
agreements are not the owners OF the ar
ticles to be sold and delivered, or have
not by purchase acquired the right to
their future possessions. These deal
ers are required to pay $1,000 annu-
ally as a license fee for conducting
their business and shall also pay the
further sum OF cents pound for every
pound OF raw or manufactured cotton,
hops, pork, lard, bacon, or other edible
product of swine, and the sum OF 20
cents a bushel for every bushel OF wheat,
corn, oats, rye, barley, grass seeds and
fiaxseed. Records of these transactions
are to be kept by the dealers and by the
boards of trade where they may be
made, and reports are to be submitted
regularly TO the Commissioner OF Inter
nal Revenue, who will collect the taxes.
All dealers in options or futures are to be
registered, and all transfers or assign
ments of contracts shall be in writing and
signed in duplicate, with the date and
length of the option explicitly stated.
False or fraudulent entries are made
punishable by fine of from 81 900 TO
$50 900, or imprisonment from six
months to ten years or both COmmfe-
sion merchants who simply desire to
conduct business of making, trans
ferring or assigning future contracts or
agreements Of the legitimate sort will
be required 10 pay fee OF 81 n year.
Failure 10 make proper reports to the
internal revenue department Is made
punishable by fine Of from 500 10
$1,000.
Chairman Hatch thinks that the bill
as reported will prevent wind specula-
tons and dealings in puts and calls,
which are already prohibited by most
Of the boards OF trade.

Senator Dawes, one OF the original
patriarchs of Massachusetts,, says:
Every man should know something OF
politics, but not for office seeking. No
young man, unless in possession OF an
assured income, can afford TO lay every
thing else aside 10 devote his life 10
politics. And even then he should ac-
.quire profession for his own develop
ment.
Senator Stewart. out of his long ex-
perience, says: I'D tell any young man
to get a profession, to wait till he was
40 and find what he Is worth in ability
and in pocket-book. In the meantime
secure a general education by close
study of the newspapers in their criti-
cisms and reports of public events. Also
to study elementary law, for everything
in that line would be of use. The best
thing any man could do is to keep out Of
politics altogether. And especially a
young man"
Representative McMillin says: "No
young man can afford to go into politics
for what he expects to get out OF 1T. A
public man who accepts office should be
thoroughly equipped for other profes-
sions. It gives him freedom and inde-
pendence of action, for he realizes
that il his course is not satisfactory to
his constituents and he is not returned

gress he has something to fall back

he has the knowledge to back him up.
