AFRAID OF AMERICANS.
German Manufacturers Alarmed at Trade En-
croachments Of This Country.

Berlin, Oct. 22.-The Bunder der In
dustrielien held general meeting TO-DAY,
at which was discussed the American
danger and the new German tariff" The
general secretary of the bund, DIR. Wend-
landt, described "the American danger"
as grave and said that Germany's man
ufacturers were frequently conscious of
this danger. He quoted figures showing
the extraordinary growth of exports
from the United States to Germany, and
the decline of the movement of goods in
the opposite direction, and complained
that the average of duties imposed by the
United States is so per cent, while that
of Germany is only 10 per cent. A fur
ther handicap, he said, is the declaring
OF invoices befOrs consul, thus giving
Americans possession of business secrets
of the Germans. He asserted that the
United States government maintained
detectives in Germany for the purpose of
discovering trade secrets and underval-
nations, and cited the case of factory
in Saxony which had been ruined there
by. Referring to President Roosevelt's
reported wish to come to terms with Ger.
many, the speaker said:
"Germany's best policy will be to wait
for the Americans to come to us and
then to demand the removal of the worst
injustices and annoyances before we be-
gin fixed treaty. Germany should re-
fuse to act until the United States re-
duced the duties below 20 per cent"
Combined Opposition.
Discussing the remedies at Germany's
disposal, DR.. Wendlands said the chief
was the tariff and must be applied. This,
he declared, "would bring America to her
senses and counterfeit the boundless des-
potism of trusts
He recommended the establishment of
a Central European customs union
against the United States, and admitted
the great difficulties in the way Of this,
declaring that if it should prove impos-
sible then common agreement should
be made to treat American goods differ
ent from those of other countries.

Tho Legislative stock Bill.

About two and half years ago the
law requiring railroad companies
to pay for stock killed by their
trains was declared unconstitu-
tional. Before the meeting of
the following general assembly the
cattlemen got together and prepared
a bill to cover the subject. Owing to
several court decisions on previous
laws, great care was required so as to
construct this bill that it might avoid
the unconstitutional shortcomings Of
previous statutes. The bill was in
troduced in the senate, passed that
body, and went to the house. There
it was not reached on third reading
until the last night of the session.
Many members were absent from the
room, and the bill failed to receive
the required majority. The railroad
lobby fought the measure bitterly,
and it was that influence that killed it.
Many meetings and conventions of
farmers and cattlemen have since
been held and this measure indorsed.
1t was introduced in the present leg
islature, passed the senate early in
the session by an unanimous vote,
and has been on the house calendar
for several weeks. Again the railroad
lobby is making desperate fight
against it.
The live stock industry is one Of
the greatest in the state. 1t is pay
ing on its stock and its land perhaps
. greater proportion of taxes than
any other industry. 1t asks little
from this general assembly. Two
years ago when informed that the
Of state finances would not
allow appropriations to the bounty
The Lamar register., 1901-03-27

funds, the stock growers asked to be
specially taxed themselves to provide
money, and the state charged them
$4,000 or $4,000 more than the
actual cost Of collecting the tax and
used the money for general expenses
of the state government, 90 that out
Of the $4,000 paid to the state less
than $4,000 is left for bounties.
The stockmen do not even ask the
present legislature to reimburse this
money. They are simply asking for
the passage Of the bill to give fair
protection against loss of stock on
railroads and a more economical and
useful administration of our inspec-
tion boards. They never keep expen-
sive lobbies here, but the importance
OF their industry ought to secure for
them them the little they ask at the
hands of the general assembly

The editor of the Sparks seems to
have grievance Of some kind over
tho city convention, but for business
reasons he does not care to mention
the individual who has offended him,
but indulges in a Wholesale denunci-
alton Of the republican party. The
convention was made up Of both par
ties, the chairman was a democrat,
the secretary republican, and both
parties are represented on the ticket,
and as the Sparks says no fault can
be. found with the men who were
nominated. Lamar is a republican
town as all know, and yet the editor
of the Sparks has three times been
elected mayor without opposition,
and certainly he Of all others should
not in common decency charge the
Lamar republicans with partisanship
in local affairs. In the five previous
elections, since party politics have
been dropped in city affairs the
republicans have voted for demo-
Gratis for mayor, and it is the rsnkest
sort of partisanship for the editor of
the Sparks to object to voting once
for republican. The only demo.
crat placed before the convention for
trustee was nominated. As for his
charge that only the business men
are represented on the ticket, it will
be remembered that the editor made
one nomination and seconded another
and both were prominent business
men. His interest in the .workingman,
as usual, is an afterthought.

twelve names, whose acreage ranged
from one to ten acres each, the total

Of the first years crop, the company's
estimate Of the expense per acre to

perience is gained the amount Of

the expense somewhat decreased.

The profitable character of this
crop is seen by comparison. An
average yield Of wheat is twenty five

from $12.5O to $18.75 per acre. At
an average Of five tons Of alfalfa an

The Legislative apportionment pro-
posed by the fusion Legislature is the
most outrageous piece of peanut pol
itics yet conceived by that gang OF
political half breeds. According to
the basis of representation estab-
lished Prowers county is entitled to
q representative, and Prowers and
Baca counties together have more
than double the necessary number
of people. The fusion gang, however,
have attached the two counties to Las
Animas for legislative purposes and
the stock and irrigation interests here
will probably be represented by coal
miner from Trinidad. In the sena-
torial district it is the same; Bent,
Kiowa, Prowers and Baca counties
are the sufferers, and Las Animas is
again the gamer. Such a gross out
rage will react upon the perpetrators
for most of the other sections of the
state are treated to the same medi-
cine, and the voters will know how
to rebuke them.

crossed were: Requiring detectives to

are agreed. A favorable report was
made on the bill making it a felony to
administer narcotics for the purpose
of committing crime. Senator Har.
ris' bill legalizing a contract be-
tween the county board and the sheriff
of Walworth county awakened discus
sion. 1t seems that after the Wal
worth sheriff was in Office the county
board agreed to give him $4,000 salary
in lieu of fees. 1t came out that a
Walworth taxpayer objected to the
transaction and was sustained by the
courts whereupon this appeal was
made to the legislature. The assembly
killed the bill because it sought to
legaliZe an unconstitutional act.

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.

Madison, March 6.-The senate
passed the bill increasing supreme
court judges salaries from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year and circuit judges pay
from $4,000 to $4,000. Senators Burns
and Munson alone had the courage to
vote against the measure. Another
bill passed provides that election re-
turns from townships may be sent to
the county clerk by registered letter
instead of by messenger. Assembly
man McGilTs time check bill was
concurred in. The anti-cigarette bill
was reported by the committee on
public health and sanitation for in
definite postponement
In the assembly yesterday morning
the Ranke bill which requires persons
selling building materials to duly notf-
fly the persons into whose houses they
go that they are not paid for and are
subject to lien was discussed. It's OBJ
ject is to protect the home builder to
some extent from losing his home
through the operation of liens. The
bill was on the calendar for indefinite
postponement, but was finally sent
back to committee. Messrs. Smalley
and Dahl argued earnestly in favor
Of the proposed constitutional amend
ment permitting the reelection OF
sheriffs and the resolution was laid
over for the day. Mr.. Babb made
MS maiden speech to his colleagues,
yoicing opposition to the Cleophas bill
permitting electors of towns to vote
whether or not wide tires on wagons
shall prevail. He was in favor of road
but not of this species
OF local option. The territory of the
operation Of the measure was too
limited, he said. If his town, for in
stance, voted for wide tires, people of
adjacent towns could come on to its
roads with narrow tires and cut them
all up. Mr.. Frost held that the
was educational,-thati if one
town voted for wide tires neighboring
towns would soon follow The bill
was ordered to a third reading. The
Jones bill permitting children under
years OF age to be admitted to the
