FALLACIES.

The kind of work the enemies of the
treaty are doing is evident in bro
chure which has been issued
from the headquarters of anti-annexa-
ton at Washington. This document
says that the beet sugar factories of
Nebraska are offering 81 a ton for
beets of the next crop provided Ha-
waiian annexation should be beaten.
and $3.50 a ton if annexation is sue
cessful. OF course this is an entirely
dishonest method of working against
the treaty, but then that is the kind of
work we are accustomed to from that
party.
Whether the annexation treaty pas
SEES or not there will be no difference
in the output of sugar as long as the
reciprocity treaty remains, and this
must have years notice before it can
be abrogated. How then can be beet
market of this year be affected to the
extent of fifty cents a ton whether
Hawaii is annexed or not?
For twenty years past Hawaiian SUI
CARS have been going into the States
free of duty and they have not affect
ed the beet market: why should they
do so now? The argument is as lame
as it can be, but it is none the less n
dangerous one, because any lie thrown
broadcast is bound to stick. Fortu-
nately the Oregonian has taken up the
fight on our behalf and has shown up
the fallacy of the reasoning used by
the anti-anneXationists in this mat
ter. Tt is good to have a powerful
friend, and the Oregonian is a power
out west.

IMMIGRANTS.

According to the report of the Sec
the Board granted during the years
1896 and 1897, permits for the importa.
ton of 6,45l japanese and 5,241 Chi.
nese; in ALL 1905.
The secretary says that the condi-
tons upon which the majority of the
above applications were approved
were that the employer should bind
himself to introduce into this coun-
try a number of European or agricul-
tural laborers equal in number to ten
per cent of the number of permits for
Asiatc labor granted.
Such European or American labor
ers were to be accompanied by not
less than twenty-five per cent of wom-
EN-. The government was to defray
the cost of importing the women and
children at a cost of not more than one
hundred and thirty dollars per family.
The employer was to pay the entire
cess over the one hundred and thirty
dollars. Finally ga good and sufiici-
ent bond was required in each case
from the employer for the perform
ance of such considerations"
The secretary is vague when he says
ga majority" of permits were grant
ed upon the above conditions. If all
were granted upon these conditions
employers of labor during the past
two years should have imported 1862
European of American agricultural a.
borers. But say, for purposes of ar
gument, that 5000 permits were is
sued under the regulations, then 900
European or American agricultural la
borers should have been imported.
Turning to page ) of the report one
finds that after all the flourish of rules
and regulations about permits, ard
bonds required for due fulfillment Of
such rules, exactly 119 European Ia
borers have been imported, making
with their wives and children, 22T per-
sons. There have been no laborers i'm
ported from the United States.
1t looks as if there would be an ad-
mirable opportunity for the Board of
immigration to collect "the good and
sufficient bond" which was required in
leach case"
In point of fact the report is not

AN INJUSTICE.

Among the licenses which were put
upon various trades and businesses, at
the last session, was one for boarding
houses of $50. This license has work
ed considerable hardship upon a de-
serving and hard working class of peo-
pie. The difficulty is how to SO word
the law that this class should be eN-
empt, and yet what ought to be taxed
should pay.
The class referred to is composed of
widows and persons of small means,
who manage to exc out living by
keeping a few boarders. People of
this kind are not amassing wealth
and keeping large bank accounts,
their business is no Klondike, they are
in many cases just able to keep the
wolf from the door. Take as an in
stance the case of widow. She may
have three or four children to bring
up. She has left the lease of a house
and a little furniture. She has no pro-
fession to fall back upon, but she can
keep house and she can cook. She
takes in a few boarders. BY hard
work and strict economy she is able to
support herself and her little ones.
Cases of this kind occur in every ma
ton and city under the sun, not only
in this. Is it fair or is it just to make
woman of this kind pay a fee of
fifty dollars and to charge hotels,
which are put up to make profits and
large ones, if possible, exactly the
same rate? 1t is manifestly unjust.
AS far as can be learned the object
of the license was to protect a hotel
in one of our country towns. where
private citizens came into undue COM
petition with it by taking transient
boarders who might be passing
through. But to protect the hotel in
one place a great wrong is done to IA
whole class of worthy people else
where.
When one considers that the profess
sional man, who earns his five thous-
and, his ten thousand, his twenty
thousand year. pays no such sum as
fifty dollars for the privilege of exer-
cising his profession, it does seem al
together wrong to charge hard work.
ing woman fifty dollars year for the
privilege of keeping the wolf from
the door.
