The P ublic Letter Box
FAvoRs IMMEDIATE REPEAL
OF THE TARIFF ON PAPER

Los ANGELES, Dec. 30.-LEditor Her
add: A few days ago it was stated in
the dispatches that Speaker Cannon had
concluded to refuse consideration to a
bill Facing wood pulp on the free list.
The reason assigned was that If the
house passed such a bill the senate
might amend it, adding other items, and
in fact enter into revision of the whole
tariff and taxation system.
The constitutional provision on the or
igination of revenue laws is That all
bills for raising revenue shall originate
in the mouse of representatives, but the
senate may propose or concur with
amendments as on other bills" 1t has
become stare decisis that the provision
applies to bills reducing or removing
duties as well as to those which impose
or increase duties. In substantiation of
this statement 1t is not necessary to
cite the unbroken series of precedents
that support it.
When a bill has passed the house con-
tanning single item or imposing or re-
pealing a duty on q single commodity
the question is whether the senate can
add others or enlarge the bill by intro
ducing new items? There is but one
precedent where this precise question
was presented and acted upon by the
been uncommon, however, for the senate
to amend ad libitum and for the house
to pass 1t over unchallenged.
That precedent arose in the forty
second congress in which the house re-
pealed the duties on tea and coffee, the
bill containing nothing else. The senate
took the bill, amended 1t, giving 1t a
different title, and making 1t general
revision of the revenue laws, customs
and internal taxes. Mr.. Dawes. chair
man of the ways and means committee,
offered the following resolution, which
was adopted by the house with almost
entire unanimity: "On the bill of the
house entitled AN act to repeal the
duties on tea and coffee, of a bill en-
titled to decrease existing duties con-
tanning general revision, reduction and
repeal of laws imposing impost duties
and internal taxes is in conflict with the
true intent and purpose of that clause
of the constitution that All bills for
raising revenue shall originate in the
house of representatives. and that said
bill do lie upon the table,"
In the course of the debate Mr.. Gar
field said: 'If there has been no prece-
dent in the case 1 should say that the
house bill relating solely to revenue on
salt could not be amended by adding to
1t clauses raising revenue on textile fab
ricS, but that all amendments should re-
late to the duty on salt. To admit that
the senate can take a house bill consist
ing of two lines relating specifically and
solely to single item, and graft upon
that bill in the name of an amendment
whole revision of tariff and internal
taxation, is to say they may exploit all
the meaning out Of the clause of the

WHY IS 1T soa

NNHE British promoters in Rome Of
the Keats-Shelley memorial must
Il have suffered some embarrass-
ment when they found that America
was sending twice as much money for
the fund as Great Britain. Whatever
the reason is it should not be surpris-
ing. America is quick to appreciate
genius, whatever it's character or its
guise. When we recall that Kipling
was hardly known until S. S. Mcclure
went to England, contracted for his
literary output for certain period and
began publishing it in America, pos
sibIy we may satisfy ourselves as to
the why's and wherefores of the Keats

for himself. A year ago he granted to
various foreign companies, one of them
made up chiefly OF Americans, valuable
concessions in the richest and best part
OF the Congo 1t was suspected at the
time that he was a silent partner in those
companies. The treaty requires Belgium
to recognize and maintain these conces-
sions, and also retains directly for the
king a certain interest in the crown do
main.
The impression is that the treaty will
not be ratified. So much the better. If it
were to be ratified it. would be. the duty
of the powers which are responsible for
the existence Of the Congo state to veto
the transaction. If the king were to turn
everything over to Belgium no exception
could be taken. The Congo state would
be better governed than 1t has been. A
transfer which left 1t in the power of
commercial companies to exploit the most
profitable regions of the Congo and to
maintain the old system of oppression of
the natives would be intolerable.-Chica

There must be something in Christian
Science when hundreds of devotees of

early stages of conflagration in their

This is what occurred in San Jose Sum

that the worshipers should leave the

evidence of fearlessness has ever be-
fore been exhibited by body of men

Benefits and Pef'f[S
I'm Foreign Immigration

T RANK P. SARGENT, immigration
commissioner, in his annual report,
n tabulates the tide of immigration.
He says; 1.-THE time has arrived when,
If people are dissatisfied with existing
political, economic and social conditions
In one country, they will find the means
to desert their homes and settle where
fair chance is afforded them. Its chief
interest to the United States is whether
or not our ability as race to absorb
foreign elements is not on the verge, at
least, of being overtaxed.''
The immigration problem is we'll stated
In that paragraph. World travel is COM
paratively simple in these days. The con-
dition of the peasant living under Shaving
conditions in some European country is
not as hopeless as of old. America, the
land Of fortune and plenty, is only few
days journey distant. The accumulation
of the passage money, and the capital
necessary for admittance, is not impos-
sfble, with the aid of some member of the
family or some friend who has already
gained foothold in this country, and is
sending back part of his earnings. Steam
ship companies advertise America as Ell
Dorado. Individually and collectively, the
representatives here of the oppressed
races of the world are calling others to
this haven of refuge and relief. The tide
of dissatisfied and unfortunate immigra-
ton is rapidly increasing. The tabulation
In the commissioners report tells the
story. Austria-H Hungary. Bulgaria. Ser.
via, Turkey. Italy and Sicily. Greece and
Russia show great increases. in some In
stances 80 per cent over the year previous.
Germany, France, England show mini
mum figures of increase.
The problem of all this immigration
is whether or not our ability as a race
to absorb foreign elements is not being
overtaxed 1t is not simply whether the
density of population at large, or in
spots, has reached point that may be
the danger limit. There Is still
area enough in which to accommodate
a greater population. 1t is not even a
problem of industry, whether the labor
market Is being overcrowded with a sup
ply that is greater than possible demand.
The real problem is whether we are

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
BROWN DOG RIOTS

IT ONDON papers describe a seven
u hour Brown dog" battle between
- 300 policemen and 400 students in
Trafalgar square. That looks queer to
Americans. About thirty patrolmen
from any city in the United States
would have settled a little thing like
that in thirty minutes. At the mention
of Brown dog in the court room the
next day the assembled rah rahs ratified
their sticks and shouted Hear, hear!"
This brought a mild remonstrance from
the magistrate, who threatened to have
the rioters elected. Picture that in a
Los Angeles court room!
Four of the eight wretches who were
arrested after the seven-hour struggle
were accused of letting off Chinese
cracker and waving sticks. oh, hor-
rors!
Bowley, a Cambridge man. was ac-
cused Of barking like dog during the
affair Brave Bowley asked his ac-
cuser to define the noise, whereupon
the officer delighted the assembled stu
dents with an excellent imitation Of a
dog barking.
But probably the strangest thing in
the accounts was the weird experience
of a Mr. Herbert Grainge of Tring. who
has corn business managed by his
son. Mr. Grange told the judge he
had attended farmers dinner at the
Criterion and was in no way connected
with the demonstrators. Two police
men swore Mr.. Grange was shouting
"Down with the Brown Dog!" Mr..
Grainge denied this, and said: 1--WE
were trying to get away from the dis
turbance when the policemen almost
pulled me to pieces. My six-guinea
coat and my bowler hat we're torn. I
was treated as if I were bulldog going
for the crowd. / approached an in
spector, but he shouted BE off, and
behaved with great brutality. I was
very much hurt and had to cry for
mercy
This is dreadful, BY diligent search
we find the students objected to the

at Battersea. If this horror continues
some one will get real hard slap on
the wrist.

migration which comes here to regard
itself, and be regarded, as distinct from
the American people by racial classif1ca-
ton is a positive injury. Colonies in
communities are undesirable. and the
principle of racial segregation In the
country is disastrous Assimilation is the
great problem of immigration. 1t Is i'm
portant to know whether we are capable
of making citizens out of this great IN
flux, or whether we are simply receiving
a continual horde of cheap laborers, into
whose hands in the course of few
years, we will thrust a ballot and its
privileges, and whom we seek to force
into obedience of laws of which they ur-
derstand nothing. Racial colonizing in
the large cities of the north, and the
accompanying difficulty of law enforce
ment within the circle of this foreign
element, is an indication of lack of as
slmilation. Complaints of peonage In
the south indicate that the idea exists
in that section tnat tne foreign element
can be taken into the system and sue
cessfully maintained without assimia-
ton. The great rush of emigration from
this country to old homes in the past
few months shows that we have not cre-
ated any other bond between the newer
classes Of immigrant and America be-
yond his ability to earn the dollar.
These incidents indicate the real perils
of immigration. Traditionally the United
States is a home for the oppressed,
great world harbor of refuge. But the
traditional purpose included also the
building of a nation out of the various
elements that would gather here. The
problem of making the new style of immi-
grant a part of the nation is the serious
question at the present time. Assimila-
tion is more important than prohibition
under the guise Of regulation.-Boston

constitution which we are considering
and may rob the house of the last ves-
tige of it's rights under that clause"
1 was a member of that congress ind
we'll remember the case, and besides l
have had occasion recently to examine
the record of 1t and also the records OF
all the precedents relating to the subject
of the power and right of the house of
representatives to originate revenue leg
islation, and find that no case has ever
arisen in which the precise question Is
presented, except the, one cited in the
forty-second Congress consequently in
both philosophy and precedent for the
senate to do what Speaker CANNON fears
it might do has no support. Should The
senate do what the speaker so much
fears might be done 1t would simply
leave the duty on wood pulp as it now
stands, for 1t is presumable that the
house would follow it's own precedent
and lay the senate bill on the table.
To repeal that single duty would not
appreciably affect the revenue, and 1t
would be a measure of relief that would
benefit the whole people and no special
class in particular. Paper has become
an article of universal and immense con-
sumption. 1t is stated by statisticians
that $4,000 square miles of forest are
annually denuded in the production of
wood pulp. 1t is an immense item, con-
sidering the extent to which our forests
have disappeared, and the increasing ra-
pidity with which 1t is disappearing
Canada has vast forests from which sup
plies can be drawn upon for a century
or more without harm to that country.
In addition it would be wise to place
lumber on the free list, that our timber
supplies may not be exhausted before
new growth can be attained from re-
forestation. Let the house pass an act
repeating both duties and leave the re-
sponsibility of retaining them to the
ear,a re LIONEL A. SHELDON.

A Big Snake.

Adrian-Farmers living along the

excited i've the discovery of an i'm
mense snake in the dense timber
growth along the river and are or
ganizing an expedition to hunt down
and exterminate the reptile.
Two farmers who last week were
walking through the high grass near
the edge of the woods south of here
saw what they thought was the limb
of a tree. They started to step over 1t
when it suddenly gave a hiss and
started to move rapidly away, crash
ing through the underbrush to the
tall timber. The farmers were much
frightened and did not attempt to give
chase to the reptile.
They say that the snake appeared
to be twenty feet in length and as
big around as a good-sized limb of a
tree. Since then other farmers also
have seen the reptile, which seems
to stay close to the wooded strip along
the river.

THE ROAST OF VEAL
HOW 1T MAY BE DISPOSED OF
ECONOMICALLY.
Presents Fewer Problems Than the
Leg of Mutton-chops and Cut
lets Make Excellent Second
Day Dishes.

I , capable housewife, the easy
disposal of a roast of veal should be
q less serious problem than the eco
nomical disposition Of a leg of nut
ton. Even when there are but two
mouths to feed, the matter is not one
that should tax her ingenuity to any
great extent. All that is required is
judgment in the selection of the re-
cipes that are to give the appearance
of variety to her daily menu, and
when it is veal that is the founda.
ton upon which she has to build the
choice of tasty and attractive dishes
is by no means a narrow one.
The first point to which she must
give her attention is the selection
of the veal itself, and this is a mat.
ter about which she cannot be too
careful, as the immature, or so-called
dob" veal is frequently the cause
of many internal disorders. In spite
of the vigilance of the boards of
health, a great deal of this unwhole.
some meat escapes detection and
is sold as good veal by INSCRIPTIONS
marketmen. AS such meats may be
detected without much trouble, how.
ever, there is no a why an ordi.
narily intelligent buyer need be i'm.
posed upon. Wholesome veal has a
pinkish tint, is firm to the touch, and
has hard bones. Bob veal is of
a blush hue, and seems aabby and
sticky when pressed by the finger.
AS veal is a meat that does not
spoil easily after it has once been
cooked, the economical way to pur.
chase a roast is for the housewife to
order two or three times as much
as she can possibly eat at a single
meal. Bought in such quantity the
price will be lower, and there is no
reason why any of the meat should
be wasted. If it is the loin that has
been selected, let it be weighed, and
then request the butcher to cut off as
many chops as may be required for
a second meal. If it is the leg that
you prefer, have him cut off enough
slices of the meat to assure you a
few outlets. In this way the meat
for the second meal may be procured
at a much smaller cost than would
have been possible had the chops or
outlets been ordered separately.
Roast your veal, therefore, and en-
joy it just as much as you would il
the problem of it's disposal did no
confront you. Then, when you have
eaten enough, put the remains of the
roast into the ice-box, and at the next
meal serve the chops or outlets. II
