State Board Of Trade

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 14.-At the
meeting Of the state board OF trade to-
day President N. p. Chapman submitted
an exhaustive report on the sugar beet
possibilities of California. He cited
crops in Colusa and Butte counties,
where 20 tons of beets to the acre were
raised, which yielded Is per cent Of sugar.
Chipman's report led to some discussion,
in which w. H. Mills and others took
part. Mills hoped that the cultivation
of beets in California would not become
so much Of a monopoly on the part of a
few rich men, with huge plants, as to
deprive the lesser growers of their right
to seek market. Chapman said the
right Of cultivation was open to all, and
there would always be a market for the
product under conditions well UNDER
stood by the prospective growers.

The Day Is Devoted to Discussing
Approximations

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE house
today, after session of about two
hours, adjourned out of sympathy for
the president, whose mother was bur.
led at Canton this afternoon. The time
Of the session was devoted to the con-
sideration Of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bills. It was
decided to postpone consideration Of the
item providing for the maintenance Of
the civil service commission until after
the others of the bill had been con-
cluded. It was apparent from the re-
marks made today that the entire sub.
ject will be exhaustively debated. There
Is seemingly no disposition to curtail the
discussion, and 1t probably will not bo
concluded before the holiday recess. So
absorbing Is the topic that almost tho
entire time today, despite the fact that
the consideration Of the question had
been technically postponed, was con.
sumed in the debate upon it.

Bingham did not discuss the appropri-
ations providing for the maintenance Of
the civil service commission, but stated
that the widest latitude would be al
lowed for debate.
Grosvenor, Republican, of Ohio. under
whose direction the fight on the civil
service law Is being made. expressed
the opinion that the bill should not be
pressed to a final vote until after tho
holidays.
Bingham's request was agreed to, and
an hour and half was set aside for gen.
eral debate on the rest Of the bill. Bar.

the floor and made some general re-.
marks In support of the civil service
law, in the course of which he referred
to the slender minority against the civil

1883. The vote stood 155 to AZ.
Cannon OF Illinois and Bingham Of
Pennsylvania reiterated their opposi-
ton to the broad extension Of the law

emit Prosperity.
Chairman Dingley speaks, as Is his
won't, in words of truth and soberness
on the present industrial situation. No
one has had larger share in moldlng
perhaps the most important single
agency in bringing about improved con-
ditions than the author of the Ding
ley bill. His judgment on the situation
will receive, as IL Is well entitled TO,
thoughtful and respectful considers
ton.
Several potent causes have contrib
uted to bring about the hopeful and
buoyant condition OF business and in
dustry all over the United States. Mr..
Dingley grants 10 each OF these causes
it's due effect, but is naturally disposed
20 lay stress on the tariff settlements
as prime factor in bringing about this
revival. The fact that depression began
with an election that portended nom
protective duties and returned when the
party of protection won again is not
mere coincidence. The defeat OF the
pernicious scheme 10 vitiate and depre-
ciate the currency averted n danger
which made IL possible for all the ele'
ments which made for returning pros
perity 10 have their full effect
The enemies OF protection are just
now gloating over the deficit, which was
chronic under the Wilson law, and
which they seem pleased 10 see is con-
tinued under the Dingley act. There
is no mystery in this, and IL is no falsi-
fcation Of the confident prediction of n
comfortable surplus from the Dingley
bill. This measure was revenue pro-
Queer before its enactment. AS soon as
4 IL became evident that duties would be
raised the sea was dotted with craft
bearing 10 this country in hot haste the

of low duties or none az all while that
\ privilege was still held out The excess
\ OF merchandise imported under this in

The anticipatory duties on these inn
ports OF $32.o00,0oo Mr., Dingley claims
\ should be credited 10 the revenue OF
4 the present fiscal year and the new
tariff, since not dollar Of il would have

The revenue-produeing quality OF tho
Dingley act viii be demonstrated when
the surplus Of anticipatory imports
sent in during the last month and weeks
of the Wilson law and stored for flu
ture use are exhausted; all well-in-
formed people understand this. Mr..
Dingley's luminous exposition Will
make il clear to the uninstrueted, who
may have thought there was some hon
esty in the criticism of the Dingley law,
because the revenue which IT is de-
signed to produce must wait upon the
consumption of the anticipatory inn
ports made under the Wilson law.-Phil-
