The conclusions embodied by Gov
ernor Mickey I'm his recommendations
for the submission Of a series OF ron
stitutional amendments for ratification
at the general election or 0 seem to
have been %concurred I'm by the great
majority OF the members OF both
houses OF the legislature. A bill requir-
ing the printing of all constitutional
amendment propositions on b top OF
the ballot has already passed one house
and will doubtless reach the governor
for his approval during the coming
week.
There appears to be. however, no con
cert of action regarding the scope Of
amendments TO be submitted. and I'M
less some action is taken to prevent II
there is n possibility of the passage Of
amendments that will conflict In essen
tlal particulars. II seems to us that
the proper course for the Legislature
to pursue Is to have all constitutional
amendments submitted to a joint com
mlttee that will carefully compare and
digest all amendments introduced and
select therefrom such as are most i'm
peratively demanded and will com
mend Themselves generally to all classes
Of the people.
There are. for example, amendments
proposing fixed salaries for state Off
GERS and judges and amendments that
would leave the fixing OF salaries to the
discretion of the legislature of 1905 and
the legislatures under certain restric-
tons. There are amendments proposed
that place n limitation upon the number
Of executive officers and judges, and
amendments designed to impart elias
ITCHY to the constitution by leaving the
officers of the executive department to
the discretion of legislatures under re-
strlctlons imposed by the constitution.
All these amendments should be care
fully scrutinized and revised so as to
prevent clashlng and insure harmony
Of all parts Of the constitution when
amended. In making these suggestions
we do not desire to be Understood ms
recommending the suppression of any
amendment by a joint committee,
Every pending proposition to amend the
constitution should have q fair hearing
before each of the legislative bodies
so that meritorious amendments shall
not be %strangled before they have beer
given an impartial hearing.

Alaska, where there will be large
stores of coal, and. extends next to the
defense OF Honolulu. which is an i'm

Rico the Spanish fortihcations will

How great the expenditure for al
this will be cannot now be estimated
with accuracy, but that it will be larg,

BUREAU OF CORPORLTloNS

The bureau of corporations will be one
OF the most important in the govern
ment and the commissioner will have an
authority not exceeded by any other fed
eral official. Mr.. Garfield is empow-
cred by the law to investigate any cor
poration, joint stock company, or cor
porate combination engaged in inter
state commerce. and in order to ac-
complish this purpose he is given the
right to subpoena and compel the testi-
mony Of witnesses and the production
OF documentary evidence. He also is
empowered to investigate insurance
companies. The commissioner NAV
summon to Washington the heads of
the great combinations and call upon
them for such information as he may
require.
1t is the understanding that there will
be considerable cooperation between
the bureau Of corporations and the De
partment OF Justice. Should the bureau,
after an investigation Of the conduct
Of n Of the so-called trusts, conclude
that ii is violating the antitrust law,
1t viii lay its Information before the
legal department Of the government
where 1t will be made the basis Of civil
and possibly criminal action. 1t is plain
that the new bureau will have an
abundance OF work to do and the next
congress win need 10 be more liberia.

Agriculture In MEXICO.

w. II. Verify in conkey's Home Journal,
I have made a careful study OF the sub
ject OF tropical agriculture in Mexico, in
connection with other gentlemen who be-
came interested with me in a plantation
there. I have often been asked whether
I would advise a man to go to Mexico
and establish a plantation for himself. IN
less he has a large amount OF time, cap
ital and a readiness to undertake a new
business under new conditions Of language,
methods, legal procedure, handling of labor,
etc, he will find his best opportunity by
buying stock in a reliable company or
ganiEed and equipped for the special bust
ness on q scale large enough to avoid the
dinculties OF the small farmer. Mexico
is no place for the small farmer or man
Of small means. Good tropical lands have
been so much in demand for the last two
years that there is hardly any real good
land on the market now, and there is no
good land which can, be purchased in small

That death must surely come 70 all;
This grievous presence, filled with woe,
Bears on US Ike a smothertng pail.
Forever closed the eyes that shone
And sparkled like q unit wave;

It will not break or yield to light.
Oh, dreadful, cruel clutch OF death,
How palsied II all human might
But no." the spirit a mot 90;
Though wen you loved this house OF clay
Hope on, hope on, and you shall know
A precious use of memoir.

Thoughtful men recognize the fact
that there Is no problem confronting
the American people Of greater impor-
lance than that Of the relations between
capital and labor. Always a question
OF commanding interest, the Industrial
growth and the prosperity Of the
try during the last few years have given
it a prominence and an Importance
greater than 1t ever before possessed.
This country has made wonderful
strides in material progress during the
last half a dozen years. There has
been a great development of industries
and of both internal and foreign com
merce. Today the United States holds
first place among the manufacturing
nations, 1t stands second among ex-
porting nations while its domestic trade
far surpasses in amount that of any
other country, being estimated to ex-
coed the foreign commerce Of all other
nations.
In order to maintain this position and
to make further progress toward su-
premacy In the worlds business there is
nothing so essential as Industrial peace.
Widespread conflicts between capital
and labor must inevitably retard our
advance industrlally and commercially
and impair our prosperity. This has
been the experience Of other countries
and 1t will certainly be ours IL such
conflicts occur. How may they be
averted? Manifestly by fair and rea-
sonable concessions on both sides. II
Is equally the duty Of capital and the
duty of labor to put no obstacle In the
way Of the nations material progress,
to do nothing which will put a check
upon prosperity. All are alike con
cerned In promoting Industrial and
commercial advancement. That @
profitable employment for both capital
and labor. It means better conditions
for all the people.
1t is undoubtedly true that in some
branches of industry labor is not re.
ceiving a fair remuneration and there.
fore has good reason for complaint.
There should be no hesitation on the
part Of capital in ~remedying this. On
the other hand, labor that is well paid
should be satisfied and not attempt 70
exact more upon the assumption that
capital Is getting more than Il is on.
titled to, or because labor In that par
ucular industry is In a position TO make
exactions. What is needed in the in.
terest Of industrial peace is the sense
or fairness and justice on both sides. q
Willingness on each side to recognize
ana concede what properly belongs to tn,
other. II such a spirit should prevail
there would be no need of arbitration
boards, or OF appeal to the courts n,
OF any sort OF legal machinery for ad
tusting differences between employer,

that there is little prospect of such 4,
spirit obtaining. but it is none the les,
to be persistently and patiently worked

labor and capital seems to be CROWN,
and mtensifying. 1t is a condition Z,
