In View Of Present Strained Relato.
With Japan Action is Postponed.
OLYMPIA. Washington, Feb. :
Rather than embarrass the nation,
government, the house Of representa.
tives this morning voted to indefnitet
postpone action on Hutchinson's hi
providing for the payment of tuiti,
fees by children whose fathers are M
citizens of the United States or hav.
not signified intention of becoming Cit.
zens.
This is directly aimed at the japan.
csc who are now crowding the school,
of western Washington to the dscom.
fort of the American born. There is ,
great sentiment in the house for III.
measure and under other circumstance
it would pass with little or no oppos.
ton.
Ramsey, of the education commite
stated the bill had been carefully con.
sidered and conclusion had been reach.
ed that in view of the delicate situs.
ton now confronting the state depart.
ment it would be unwise at this time
for this state to do anything that Would
embarrass the general government. The
bill was postponed by an overwhelm.
ing vote.

eminent in most cases is not greater
than by private contract. although the
private manufacturer has certain adj
yantages. He is not restricted to eight
hours of labor day, although that may
or may not be an advantage. Some
times I think an Industrious workman
can do more in eight hours than he can
in ten, working day after day; but
there is no doubt that the government
is at a disadvantage because of it's
lfberality to it's workmen in paying
them for fifteen days of vacation every
year, for seven national holidays, ana
for half holidays on Saturday during
the summer months. The time for
which the government pays without
any return in labor in this manner
amounts to about 10 per cent of the
working time of year. On the other
hand, the government does not have to
borrow money and pay interest to carry
out it's enterprise; it does not have to
pay insurance, and in case of fire, its
losses are limited to those that actually
occur; and then again, it does not lose
anything by lack Of future orders.
Nor does it have to make a profit. TAX
ing all these things into consideration,
l think the government can make its
own ordnance as economically as by
contract. However in estimating the
cost proper percentage should be in
cluded to cover the pay of the officers
and enlisted men employed, the general
repairs and improvements, the clerical
expenses. the deterioration of machin-
cry and all those other items which a
private manufacturer must take into
account. but which with us are paid
from distinct appropriations.
1--WE are making an effort to improve
the system of accounting in the ord
nance department so as to determine
more accurately what our guns and
other articles do actually cost the gov
ernment

CONGRESS is GETTING UNEASY
Federal Government Views With Alarm
Long Strides of States.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. g.
Tied hand and foot by the press of
business at the short session. congress
is viewing with much uneasiness the
present activity in the various state
legislatures in pushing through legis-
latiOn looking to supervision of gen.
eral business. The belief is gaining
ground, even with the staunchest sup
pOrters of states rights, that under
present commercial conditions the fed
eral government can direct the activi-
ties of business far more effectively
than can the states This is due to the
fact that business has become central
lied to permit Of economies in prOduc
ton and administration, and as these
great commercial aggregatiOns do not
recognize state boundaries in seeking
their markets the federal government
naturally can exert more complete con-
troll That there will be general and
comprehensive plan adopted by the
next congress for the control of COR
pOratiOns is a fact that is undOubted.
will Overreach themselves in the enact
ment Of Legislation that will be in con-
flict with the laws of neighbOring
states and probably embarrassing to
the general scheme to be adopted in
Washington. The administration re-
cOgnizes to it's fullest extent, the dan
ger to the prosperity that turks in I'M
thinking consideration of this subject.
1t aims at a firm but wise control of
the corporation, but realizes the neces-
sity for taking the question out of the
realm of petty politics.

1T IS ALL UP TO ROOSEVELT
Presidents Signature is Awaited On
Increased Salary Bill.

Presidents Signature is Awaited On
Increased Salary Bill.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. o.
to say whether the members Of con-
gress, the speaker, the vice president
and the cabinet officers are to obtain
the SO per cent increase in salaries.
The action of the senate in passing
the measure makes the increase GER
tain unless the president vetoes it,
which is not likely. The cost to the
country Of the senate's action in con-
curing in the amendment to the legis-
lative bill as passed by the house rela-
tive to salaries of members of con-
gress will be $1,234,50O per year. This
means that after March the treasury
will have to pay out that much more
than is now being paid for the salaries
of the cabinet officials and the law
makers.
The raise in salary affects 4S6 men
on the government payrolls. The total
amount now paid to these 4S6 men is
$2,46O,OO0. The total per year under
the new order of things will be 49,
$4,000. The increase in salaries is
highly pleasing to congress generally.
1t is not disputed seriously by anyone
that the cost of living and the other
expenses incumbent on a member Of
the legislative branch of the govern
mont or a cabinet officer as a rule
more than eat up salary allowances.

SOME TALES OF SOME TAILS.
Mary Things Which Animals Do With
Useful Appendage.

NAIROBI. British East Africa. Feb.
midst of one of natures best zoolo-
gical gardens and being a student of
living creatures, moralizes thus:
"Tailless animals are greatly to be
pitied. See what uses the lucky ones
put their tails to!
Horses, cows and other creatures
use their tails as fytrappers. Cats,
squirrels and many more twist them
round their necks for cOmforters. The
rat has raised the use of it's tail to a
fire art, for by its means it guides the
blind and steals jelly, oils and cream
out of jars and bottles. Look at thai
old monkey giving her baby a ride on
her tail in the most approved ride a
cock horse to Banbury Cross fashion
of grOwn-up human beings.
1.-The macaco plays as merrily with
it's tail as a kitten does, and the mar
mOset while it sleeps uses it's tail as
sort of blanket. The aZeles mon
key and jaguar fish with their tails
and the raccoon catches crabs with its
tail, quite unlike an oarsman. Every
one knows how the monkeys journey
through painless forests by swinging
from tree to tree, while the fishes steer
their way through the vast deep by
their tail fins.
''The ant-eater puts up it's big bushy
tail for an umbrella. The vanity of
the peacock is fed by the beauty of its
tail, and when the Irishman is on
the warpath what does he do but ask
you to tread on the tail of his coat?''

BURlY CHIEF LANDS ON SMITH
Yakima Councilman is Worsted by the
Head Of Police Department In
Saloon Brawl.

NORTH YAKIMA, Feb. 9.-COuncil-
man Nelson Smith of the Third ward
was knocked down by Chief of Police
Bert Cayou in the West Side saloon. 1t
is alleged that Smith was drunk and
nsulted the officer. That is Cayou's
story.
1t is corroborated by Officer James
Miller. who went into the saloon with
Cayou. The officers say that they
went into the saloon because they
heard loud talking within when they
passed. They say they were insulted
and that the assault was provoked
by the councilman.
Mr.. Smith is a large man, but has
only one arm.
Some of those who saw the affair
say it was disgraceful. Councilman
Snk.h, is alleged to have said among
other things that he was the boss of
the Third ward, the leader of west side
affairs, one of the best politicians in
the gstate and in addition to all these
estiynable qualifications. that he could
whip any member of the city police
forcl.
How 1t Happened.
About 10 o'clock Chief of Police Ca
you land Officer Miller were on their
way home. When passing the West
Side saloon they heard loud talking
on the inside, and thinking perhaps
their services might be needed, the Off
GERS gentered the saloon. There were
eight or ten men in tn bar room sur
rounding one who seemed to be the
center of attraction. Upon close exam
nation the officers discovered the fig
ure of Councilman Smith. The latter
also recognized the officers.
How do you do" Smith is alleged
to have said to Cayou. You id old
= If it hadn't been for me you woule
not be where you are now. You owe
to me the fact that you are now on the
force" and he advanced towards the
Ulcers while talking.
THAT will be all right said the
chief, "but keep quiet. Smith, and don't
make SO, much noise about the matter
You're drunk
The councilman refused to heed the
offers command and kept tugginr
1t the chiefs clothes. He poked his
fist under the officers nose, saying:
