CxSxDz's TARIFF PLANS

The Canadian tariff commission has
reached stage that permits of forecasts
as to what its probable decision will be.
It is thought that there will be rear
rangement of the free list so as to give
new advantages TO British exports, es-
pecially encouraging Canadians TO i'm
port raw material or partly finished ma
terial from Britain rather than from the
United States. Another expected change
from existing conditions is the amend.
ment of the anti-dumping law, so as to
make 1t more difficult for the American
manufacturers to dump their surplus in
Canada. *
According to a Montreal dispatch,
Canada has no intention of sacrificing
any domestic interests for the benefit of
the mother country. But other things
being equal, she would rather go TO Eng
land for what she must buy from out
side than go to the United States. The
determining factor will be purely bust
ness question, the Canadians buying
where they can buy to the best advaE-
tage. II is pointed out that the extent
of the possible injury 10 the trade of the
United States will depend upon the lib
erality Of the preferential rates on Brit
ish goods and it is believed a larger op-
portunity for British trade will be given
through preferential treatment of i'm
ports from and Via Great Britain.
A recent report by special agent OF
the Department of Commerce and Labor
shows that last year Canada got 90 per
cent of its imported goods. valued ut

CITIZENSHIP FOR PORTO RICANS

run fOHIO hItdNN'
The desire of the people of Porto Rico
to be made American citizens has the
approval of President Roosevelt, who
said In his annual message that there is
no excuse for failure to adopt legislation
comforting citizenship upon them. An
earnest appeal to congress will be made
by the Porto Ricans to give them this
boon and it would seem that there
should be no hesitation in granting it,
for certainly they are as much entitled
to American citizenship as the Hawa-
iians. There is a good deal of discomfort
in this insular possession of ours and it
is very largely due to the fact that the
people have none Of the rights and privi-
leges that belong to citizens of this
country. They are obedient to the laws
and loyal to the government and they
most naturally and justly feel that they
ought to be permitted to call themselves
citizens of the United States.
We think there will be very general
agreement with the view of the presi-
dent that there is no excuse for longer
excluding these people from citizenship
and it is probable that congress will at
the present session adopt the legislation
necessary to make them citizens. 1t
certainly would be approved by a very
large majority of our people.

DEADLY WOOD ALCOHOL.
Necessity for "a Heavy Tax to Restrict
Production.
Philadelphia Press.

IL congress cannot see it's way to abolish
or greatly reduce the tax on alcohol used
in the arts il ought at least to pass Mr..
Grosvenor's bill putting a tax of 80 cents
on wood alcohol. The latter is poison,
and its great cheapness is temptation
to it's misuse that weak souls do not seem
able TO resist. IT is used as a substitute
for grain alcohol in the manufacture Of
all sorts of preparations, especially Of the
various liquids used by BARRIERS 1t is
used freely in the manufacture Of cheap
whisky. which produces a drunken stupor
very quickly and when used I'm excess re-
suits in the blindness and death OF the
victim.
The manufacture of wood alcohol has
become a large industry and a legitimate
industry so far as the manufacturers are
concerned. It's misuse through substitution
for grain alcohol because of its cheap
ness is where the harm comes in. Mr..
Grosvenor's bill proposes corrective. The
tax he proposes on wood alcohol would
make it's cost nearly the same as that
of grain alcohol and remove the tempta-
ton TO the fraudulent use Of wood alco-
hol When a gallon of one costs about
the same as the other there will he no
proft in substitution, and the blindness
prostrating stupors and deaths caused by
those ignorant Of what they are taking
would cease.
House painters in various parts of the
country are engaged in a crusade against
the use of wood alcohol in the manufac-
ture of varnish, Its fumes are hurtful to
the optic nerve. One painter was rem
dered totally blind by the fumes from
wood alcohol i'm varnish. and it is disagree
able and hurtful to all who use il. The
cases Of death or blindness resulting di-
rectly OF indirectly from wood alcohol were
grouped together in a recent publication
and make an exceedingly strong argument
for legislation that shall check the now
common use Of wood alcohol where grain
alcohol is in every way preferable, save
on the score OF it's relative cost alone
That cost is the result OF the present dis
elimination in the federal tax on alcohol!

chicago Tribune.
Lieutenant in the army is to be tr1ed
for conduct unbecoming an officer. The
particular charge is that he made distur-
bance in theater on discovering that an
enlisted man had been allowed to purchase
seat near him. The captain Of the COM
pany, who was present, preferred the
charge, and the sympathy of the other Off
GERS of the regiment appears to be with the
enlisted man, "a sergeant of good record.
This is as it should be. The attempt to
introduce into the American army the
snobbishness of the British and German
armies will not be supported by any large
number of people In the army or out of it.

The Interstate Commerce commits
sion is to have the aid Of the western
railroads in enforcing the inter
state commerce law. The promise
OF this is contained in a resolution
recently adopted at a meeting of
western railroad officials and which
has been presented to the commission
by committee representing the various
western lines. In conference at Wash
ington Thursday the commission was
assured by individual representatives of
the railroads of their desire TO cooperate
with the commission in stopping rebates
and in investigating any grievances.
There was expressed a determination to
conform to the law in good faith and in
every respect to aid the commission in
its enforcement. There was a further
promise on the part of the railroad rep
resentatives TO report every illegal trans
action which may come to their knowl-
edge or of which they may have we'll
grounded suspicion.
This very important action by the
western railroads is regarded by the
commission as sincere and warranting
the expectation of beneficial results.
While IL may not result in the complete
discontinuance of wrongful practices,
yet the commission is of the opinion that
IF the promised cooperation is actually
n M 10 Of hn
Of rebates and the granting Of secret
advantage will be reduced to a mini
mum" 1t appears from the report of
the conference that the railroad repre-
sentatives recognized the influence of
public opiniOn--an influence which the
railroads have been slow TO realize and
acknowledge. Confidence in the prom
Uses made to the commission would be
stronger if II were not for the fact that
other pledges and agreements by rail
road officials were not fulfilled. 1t is
true that in the present case the assur-
ances given differ somewhat from those
which have preceded them-that is, the
"gentlemen's agreements to observe the
law-still there will be some doubt and
misgiving in the public mind until the
latest pledges have been shown to be in
good faith. At all events, the western
railroads are setting commendable eX-
ample. which it is presumed will have a
good effect in other sections. Eastern
and southern roads may find it expedient
to follow the action of the western roads
and thus make cooperation between the
commission and the railroads for the en-
forcement of the law general.
Meanwhile the necessity for such leg
islation as President Roosevelt has rec
commended is not lessened. 1t is the only
certain assurance for the protection Of
the public against the determinations
which have created the demand for fur
Their legislation.
