A summary of the legislation in 1901

A summary of the legislation in 1901 has recently been published by the New
 York state library LEGISLATION densed this brief ac- IN count of the meas 1901. ures having an es- pecial bearing on sociological questions. The first head is Charities: Supervision and Poor Re lief. ''The tendency of legislation ap- pears clearly to be toward a closer cen tral control of the state charitable and kindred institutions Instances of this are the establishment of board of control of state institutions in Minnesota and the law in New York vesting the control of the hospitals for the insane in the state commission in lunacy. There is a marked tendency, especial ly in the rural districts, to keep de pendent children in almshouses, even though this course is forbidden by law" For example, Indiana has passed law allowing children between the ages of three and seventeen to be kept in the. almshouse for sixty days instead Of for ten only as heretofore, before being placed in homes or institutions.
 In the laws regulating the care of dependent, neglected or delinquent children, there is an effort to dis tinguish between the first two classes and the last. The laws of Pennsyl- vania and Wisconsin illustrate this sys- tenn. These statutes also provide in common for the establishment of juv emile courts and a system of juvenile records, the right of petition to the courts by resident citizens in the in- tersts of such children. and the ap- pointment of probation officers. They forbid the commitment to jail of young children.
 ''The most important developments of the year in connection with the care of the insane occurred in Michigan and Minnesota The former state pro vided for the erection of a psychopathic ward at the university of Michigan; the latter established in all cities over 50,0OO detention ward for doubtful cases. This state also established q state board of control. Pennsylvania appointed a commission to inquire into the best methods of treatment of the insane, and Indiana enacted a statute allowing counties with population of 15O.G00 or more to tablish asylums for the chronic insane. The only legisla- tion of importance looking to the care of the Predetermined and the epileptic was in New Hampshire and New ter sey. New Hampshire had made no provision for the care of these classes prior to 1901, but in that year an act was passed flor the establishment and maintenance of a school for the care and educat tion of the feeblc-minded.' '' New Jersey passed an act ito esta blish a village for epileptics.''
 ''The trend of legislation relating to penal institutions was toward the cen tralizat ton of control. the substitution of reforrnatories for prisons. and q more extended use of proba ton, inde- terminate sentence and parole" States

The democratic campaign scheme this year is to fight against the tariff. the trusts and the Philippine policy. The trust question is being fought by the republicans, and the Philippine policy was endorsed by the people in 1900 The democratic party is not a unit in with, and many eminent democrats be- lieve in the Philippine policy of the government. Thus the democrats are not going into the fight with any sub- stantial issues.

As the resistance of the Boers to the British onslaught gradually weakened there was a similarly gradual increase in the output of South African gold. In May, 1901. I,419 ounces were pro- duced; in April, 1902, the production was 119,5SS ounces. Now that the Boers have surrendered there will no doubt be resumption of mining on q large scale and a consequently in- creased out-turn of the yellow metal, which must have it's effect in a general increase of industrial activity through out the world.

that enacted laws embodying some or all of these ideas during 1901 are: Massachusetts, New York. Rhode Isl and. Connecticut, New Hampshire. Minnesota, Michigan, California h. diana and Vermont. Ohio and Virginia appointed a commission to inquire into the convict labor question: Missouri. South Carolina, Tennessee and North Dakota broadened the scope of convict labor by allowing them to be employed on the highways or railroad lines, on state farms. or in state factories.
 Legislative action relative to the liquor traffic for 1901 clearly indicates an intention to subject the business to such moderate restrictions as have heretofore proved effectual in limiting the number of places for traffic and locating them where the least harm can result and where they can be kept under surveillance. The imposition Of excise taxes or license fees as the ini- tial step toward this accomplishment continues to receive legislative ap- proval." Laws dealing in some way with the liquor traffic were enacted in thirty states.
 During 1901 Montana and Wyoming were added to the list of states having a state board of health. At present all states but Georgia. Idaho and Ore gon have a central sanitary organiZa tiop, and territorial boards of health are found in New Mexico and Okla hona and also in Hawaii and Porto Rico" An act was passed by the llli- nois legislature requiring the registra- ton of births and deaths in that state. Kansas. Montana and New Hampshire enacted elaborate statutes covering the subject of communicable diseases.
 Labor problems received due consid- eration. Five states provided for free public employment bureaus. viz. Con necticut Kansas, Minnesota, West Vir- ginia and Wisconsin. Employers lia- bility was recognized by the legislatures of Colorado and Connecticut, and eX- tended to street railway employees in South Carolina. The eight-hour day for laborers employed by the govern ment or by public contractors was made compulsory in California, Mime sota and Utah. Legislation touching the employment of miners and in gen. eral improving the conditions under which such employees labor was en- acted in Massa chusetts, New Hamp- shire, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ten nessee, Connecticut, California and Florida"

An increasing number of establish ments have adopted the rule of making special efforts to stimulate trade in the duller seasons of the year. One adver- tiser said he could count on all the bus but what he wanted was to induce people to buy at other times.

BRYAN HITS SHAW.
Says the Secretary Is Running the
Treasury in the Interests
of Wall Street.

w. J. Bryan says Secretary Shaw has
been guilty of breach of public trust
by pursuing the same policy the repub-
ican party denounced the democrats
for doing in 1Sss-loaning the govern
ment money, without interest, to pet
banks" In his Commoner Mr.. Bryan
says:
''The present secretary of the treasury
has gone far beyond any previous secretary
in responding to the wishes and advancing
the interest Of pet banks The partial
ity shown by the treasury department to
the Rockefeller bank in New York Is well
known.
But the recent rumors Of Secretary
Shaw go beyond anything that has hereto
fore been known. 1t is gross favoritisn
to let the banks have government money for
nothing, in opder that they may loan 1t
out to their customers at the usual rate of
interest. The fact that they give bonds
for security has nothing to do with 1t, be-
cause they draw interest on the bonds al
the same time that they draw interest on
the government money which they are per-
mitted to loan out. But New York banks
had loaned out so much money on the wa
not prepared for any shrinkage in their de-
posts. and the government at once went to
their aid
Whether the secretary has violated the
law in his effort to rescue the banks Is a
question which will probably be discussed
when congress meets, but that he Is run
ming the treasury department in the inter-
est of Wallstreet Is a question which IL not
open to dispute"

OIL AND COAL TRUSTS.
the interests of Standard Oil and
Anthracite Combines.

1t has been the general belief of most
writer's and speakers that neither the
Standard Oil nor the anthracite coal
trusts were protected by tariff duties
on petroleum and anthracite coal.
President Roosevelt reflected the popu-
lar error on this subject when he said,
in his speech at Cincinnati on Septem-
Der 20, in speaking of the proposal to
take the duty off articles which are
made by trusts:
Furthermore, the products of many
trusts are unprotected and would be en-
tirely unaffected by any change in the
tariff. or at most very slightly so. The
standard Oil Company offers a case in
point; and the corporations which control
the anthracite coal output offer another
for there is no duty whatever on anthracite
coal.''
Those are strong assertions, even if
the Dingley tariff act is what it, on its
face, appears to be.
Clearly the anthracite coal trust is
protected by the duty of 81 cents per
ton on bituminous coal. We import
great quantities of coal from Canada
and British Columbia, and bituminous
completes with anthracite along our
entire border. New England, especial
ly, is burdened, at all times, by the
duty on Nova Scotian coal and COM
PEELED, by it, to use much more anthra
ute than it would use if all coal were
on the free list. Besides, there being
no anthracite on this continent, and
almost none in the world, outside of
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1902-10-24

this country, it is apparently superflu-
Gus to put duty on any but bitumin-
Gus coal.
The Standard Oil trust, likewise, was
not without protection, either in for
mer tariff bills or in the Dingley bill,
even on its face This trust manufac-
lures several hundred products, all of
which Except refined petroleum, par
ATTN and possibly few others), are
now, and have been for years, protect
ed by tariff duties of from 20 per cent.
to As per cent. or more. Besides this
trust is by far the greatest beneficiary
of our drawback tariff law, and, sim
ply because it is big and can afford to
obtain drawbacks which it will not pay
small manufacturers to obtain, re-
ceives benefits because of the existence
of tariff duties, on tin plate especially.
Under these conditions and circum-
stances, which have existed for many
years under all recent tariff bills, any
man, with even superficial knowledge
of the tariff and of the coal and petro-
leum industries, would hesitate to as
sert that these trusts "are unprotect-
GU WOuIO NC Dy
any change in the tariff" unless he
were making stump speech and knew
his hearers would not take him serious
ly. Certainly our president is supposed
to have more than a superficial knowl-
edge of law which it is his duty to
enforce and of conditions concerning
which he assumes to instruct the peo-
pie from the stump or the train.
But the Dingley bill, like ats proto-
type, the Mckinley bill, is not what it
appears, on it's face, to be. 1t was Jug
gled in the senate, which is the Iegis-
lative rendezvous of the trusts. 1t is
in the finance committee of the senate,
presided over by that smooth and cum
ming agent of the protected interests,
Senator Aldrich, that the trusts get in
their fine work.
Both the coal and petroleum sched-
ules of the Dingley bill were jugg1ed in
the secret committee room Of the sem
ate and presumably in the interests of
the trusts, whose agents are always
on hand at opportune times.
When the Dingley bill went to the
senate all anthracite coal was clearly
ON the free list, as it had been since
July IA, 1870. and bituminous coal was
dutiable at IS cents per ton. As the
bill became law it reads paragraph
415) "Coal, bituminous, and all Goals
containing less than 90 per centum of
fixed carbon, and shale 81 cents per
ton of % bushels, so pounds to the
bushel," and, in the free list (para-
graph 523), "coal, anthracite, not
specially provided for in this act"
The fact that no cargo of coal is i'm
ported commercially that contains
more than 90 per cent. of fixed carbon,
makes it clear that the Dingley act
puts duty of 81 cents per ton on all
coal. This conclusion was stated by
Senator Vest when the Dingley bill was
being discussed in the serate and is IN
accord with the decision OF the board
of general appraisers January IL, 1898,
and of the circuit court of the United
States. both of which declared that
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1902-10-24

coal trust-through the back doors
and the secret committees of congress.
These trusts don't make an fuss and
cause needless discussion, when they
want their duties or extra duties on
their products. They simply go quietly
to Washington and see the managers
those who know where the funds came
from in 1896 and 1900 that saved the
country.
Although the hundreds of products
of the Standard Oil company had been
dutiable as manufactured articles, yet
petroleum appears to have been IN
mentioned in tariff acts until 1897. In
the original Dingley bill both crude
and refined petroleum were put on the
free list, but with the following pro-
viso:
provided, That If there be imported
into the United States crude petroleum, or
the products of crude petroleum produced
in any country which imposes duty on
petroleum or its products exported from the
United States, there shall be levied, paid,
and collected upon said crude petroleum or
it's products so imported 40 per centum ad
valorem"
This practically made all of the
Standard Oil products dutiable at 40
per cent, for all countries which ex-
port these products impose an import
duty on them. But it was not enough.
The friends of this trust in the senate
(and they are not scarce) changed the
duty from 40 per cent. to duty equal
to the duty imposed by such foreign
country" The duty levied by Russia,
the principal foreign exporting coun-
try, probably averages more than 40
per cent, as the oil trust well knew.
But the "nigger in the fence" in this
charge probably lies in the retalia ton
club, which it gives our trust in its
fight with the Russian combine.
Heretofore there has been no al
lance, offensive or defensive, between
the Standard Oil trust and the Russian
trust. They divided up the world and
each agreed to keep off the. others
territory. The Standard Oil company
has lately been getting aggressive and.
intruding on the Russian trusts terri
tory, even into Russia itself, so it is
said. Foreseeing trouble and a big
fight ahead our trust wished to be
forearmed with a reciprocity retalia-
ton protection club. Now, if the Rus
slams raise their duty to keep the
Standard Oil company out, they will,
automatically raise our duties to keep
Russian oil out of this country.
Besides, should the christian gen.
tlemen" in our oil trust be sufficiently
trusted by the Almighty so that He
would give them absolute control of
the petroleum mines here, they might
sometime wish to charge us 20 cents
per gallon for oil, where they now
charge only eight or ten cents. It is
always well for the trust to have lit
tie surplus protection in store for
possible emergency.

shipment of anthracite coal from

shipment of anthracite coal from
Wales was dutiable.
Apparently the christian men" Of
the anthracite coal trust to .'whon
God in His infinite wisdom" consigned
the hard coal mines of Pennsylvania,
became satisfied in 1897 that they
might, at some future time, need in
their business, duty on anthracite
coal. They confabbed with the chair
man of the finance committee and he,
as usual, said:
Certainly, am always ready to
oblige the trusts. As you gentlemen
are going to perfect and strengthen
your trust and regulate production and
prices, my sympathi are with you. 1
perceive that there may come time,
when the price of your coal gets very
high, when some cold, unpatriotic per-
son might wish to import the anthra-
cite coal from Wales Now if, as you
say, Welsh coal never shows, on an
average test, 90 per cent. of fixed car
bon, 1 think 1 can fix you up without
even attracting the attention of the
public. Perhaps you will permit me
to reduce the duty on bituminous coal
a few cents, Just few cents to give
an appearance of fairness, you know,
when extending the duty to all coal"
Thus the trick was done and not one
in a thousand of our people knew that
anthracite coal had been made duti-
able. Even our strenuous president
made a mistake because he didn't hap
pen to read the Dingley act before he
began 20 lecture on it.
The Standard Oil company joined the
long list of protected trusts in much
the same way as did the anthracite

fence in Arizona stand orange groves

can foresee the immense profits
which irrigation makes possible.

The most of the Filipino people
do not wear shoes, and the conse-
quence is their feet have soles on
them that protect them from injury.
1t is not an unusual thing to find
natives with the skin on the bottom
of their feet one-eighth of an inch
thick. Nature makes provision in
cases of that kind, and they can
walk all day long and they are never
troubled with corns.
