Northern Pacific Matters.
PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 6.-ln the mat
ter Of the Northern Pacific rece vership,
Judge Gilbert Of the United States cir
cult court has issued rule nisi calling
upon the Farmers Loan and Trust
company, the Northern Pacific Railway
company Receivers Burleigh, Bonner
and Mills to show cause before him in
the United States circuit court at Hell
ena, on the 9th Of January, why the
present diversified receiverships in the
different districts should not be
Made Uniform and Harmonious
by the appointment of one or more re-
ceivers to manage the property, who
should work together as unit. The
rule was obtained on motion of J. Mas
ton, counsel for the receivership. The
fact that Judge Gilbert has made the
order returnable- before himself at
Helena, is taken as conclusive evidence
that he has concluded to put all end to
the present conditions and to do all in
his power for the purpose Of solving the
existing differences. :, 80. .sv::... ~

THE QUESTION OF BONDS.
Senators Devote the Day to the Discus.
sion of Finances


WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The senate
heard stirring debate during the day,
the bond question being the theme.
MIR. Sher1nan's speech, which had been
anticipated with much interest for
some time, initiated the financial dis
eussion. The veteran senator was in
good voice and his speech was closely
followed. This, however, was merely
prelude to an unexpected financial
controversy, vigorous and personal in
character Mr.. Elkins Of West Vir-
glnla sought to secure all immediate
vote Oh his resolution directing that all
bond issues be advertised and the
bonds offered to the public. Mr.. Hill
attempted to have the resolution re-.
ferred to committee, but on q roll call
the vote was overwhelming in favor of
proceeding with the question.
Only Six Negative Votes
We're cast, namely, Chiffon, Gafery,
Hill, Mitchell wis., Murphy and
Brice. Mr.. Hill spoke vigorously
against the resolution. He asserted
that Mr.. Sherman, when secretary of
the treasury, had made bond contracts
with New York syndicates similar to
the one now assailed. This brought on
sharp personal debate, in which Mr..
Hill, MI. Sherman, Mr.. Hoar, Mr.
Teller and others participated.
At $50 the senate agreed to adjourn,
although the motion carried by bare
majority OF one. During the day Mr..
Morrill,, from the finance committee,
reported that the tariff and bond bills
would he ready On Tuesday, to which
day the senate adjourned.

The money comes in this way:
We bought at the factory

THE SAKE BILL.

When President Dole vetoed
the bill relating to land titles, he
gave reasons that the Legislature
could see at a glance were sound.
Therefore both houses sustained
The veto unanimously. 1t was
different in the case of the Pres
ident's veto Of the bill "to increase
the duty on spirituous liquors,
still wines and other beverages
made from materials other than
grape Juice" This has been
known as "the sake bill" although
che name of the Japanese liquor
Is not given in it. In vetoing this
bill the President gave reasons
for his action which were simply
arguments against the measure on
grounds OF policy. He pointed
out no radical defects in the struc-
ture of the bill, as in the case of
Che other bill mentioned, which
would render it imperative. 1t
was in no spirit of ntment at
The Presidents exercise Of his
prerogative that the House and
the Senate refused to sustain the
veto. They had passed the bill
after mature deliberation and
. full examination of every
phase of the question, and their
action in overriding the veto
vas based on the conviction that
ihe bill was in the line of sound
public policy. The speakers in
both houses who discussed the
veto gave convincing facts and
figures to show that the princi-
pies Of the measure were both po-
titic and just. In brief the OBJ
jects of the bill are to put certain
class of liquor on duty-paying
basis in proportion to its alcoholic
strength, and incidentally to favor
she mild grape wines Of Califor-
mia as against that class of liquor.
II was shown in debate that the
Japanese liquor known as sake
had "a great advantage in the tariff,
Ats importers enjoying really
heavy discrimination against the
importers of grape wines and
malt liquors.
AS there is an impression on
she minds Of some people, which
vas slightly shared by this paper
before the bill passed in the first
instance, that the bill goes a little
too far in remedying the inequali-
ty of the tariff, some of the figures
Hsed in the debate on the veto are
here given. They show that there
rs no unjust discrimination against
che japanese, but that their prin-
eipal stimulant is simply on
something near an equal footing,
for the payment Of duty, with
ether liquors. Alcoholic strength
rs in general the basis of duties
on liquors, but spirits pay the
high specific duty of $3.50 gallon,
and there does not appear to be
any reason why sake, an alcoholic
prodoct Of grain, should be
favored with exemption from that
basis. AS a matter of fact, sake
has all along been coming in un-
der the category of wines, and
paying only l5 cents per gallon
duty upon an average of 10 de-
grees alcoholic strength, This is
emily equal to one cent per degree,

per cent alcoholic strength pays
Is cents a gallon, or three to five
cents per degree. Ale and stout,
running from six to seven and
half per cent. of alcoholic
strength, pay Is cents gallon,
or two to two and half cents per
degree. Wines of over Fl per
cent, almost entirely imported
from Europe, pay 50 gallon
duty, or seven to nine cents for
each degree of strength. 1t is
thus seen that japanese sake,
paying at the rate of only one
cent per degree, enjoys discrimin-
alton with vengeance, and it was
high time that such should have
been abolished. Even under the
amended tariff the japanese liquor
is not unduly taxed, or in anywise
Disseminated against upon the
recognized basis, seeing that on
an alcoholic strength of from
twelve to fourteen per cent. it is
only to pay 60 cents gallon, or
four to five cents a degree, and if
over fourteen and not more than
q per cent. it will pay but 81 a
gallon, an equivalent of five to
seven cents degree. In proper
ton to strength sake will still
have an advantage over all other
alcoholic beverages in our tariff.
Besides the great favor that has
been shown to sake at this end of
the line, its importers have the
benefit of a virtual export bounty
in Japan, in the form of rebate
of internal revenue dues upon ex-
ports of the article, which is
equivalent to Is to 20 per cent. OF

board vessel at port of shipment.
Why sake should be favored in
our tariff above other liquors
would be extremely hard to make
appear. Its cheapness combined
with not only its comparative
strength, but certain narcotic
qualities that have specially
deleterious effect on races not in
ured to its influence as the Japa-
nese are supposed to be, has con-
stituted it fresh bane to the ma
tive Hawaiians. Sake is nothing
less than a grain liquid of diluted
strength which has been coming
in here as wine, and for the past
three years should have paid a
spirit duty if the tariff had been
properly revised according to a
graduated scale of alcoholic
strength. The grievance of the
California wine producers, who
claim that they are Disseminated
against in favor of sake, is proved
by the figures herein given to be
real one. When, in addition to
the low duty, one takes into con-
sideration the cheap labor in
Japan, as we'll as the re-
bate above mentioned on
sake exports, also a great advan-
tage in the matter Of exchange,
it will be seen that the American
article suffers the keenest kind of
competition from this source. 1t
was none too soon for the preser-
walton Of CALIFORNIA; favor for the
reciprocity treaty that our Legis-
lature took the action it did in
this matter. The wine interest is
the leading one of the Pacific
Coast and the recent threatening
movement of the wine producers
against the treaty was endorsed
by the California Protective AS
ISOLATION, composed of the whole
sale, jobbing and retail dealers in
wine, beer and liquors, with
membership vast in numbers
whose political influence must not
be underestimated. That ac-
ton of the kind over there was

Of 1918, and the next three i'll the sue
