NORTH YAKIMA CANNOT SHIP
Shippers Are Growing Uneasy Because
of Railway Blockade.

NORTH YAKIMA, Jan. 26.-Anxiety
prevails among shippers and commits
sion men here over the conditions on
the Northern Pacific. making it i'm
possible to forward the products of the
valley to the Sound. Cars are plentiful
but there is no way of getting them
hauled over the road after loading and
billing a train. A trainlOad of hay is
standing on the warehouse sidetrack
here. some of the ears having be-n
loaded for several days. Every west
bound train has a capacity load before
it gets to North Yakima and cannot
haul more cars over the mountains.
The train service, both passenger
and freight, still is badly demoralized
on account of the number of wrecks
and floods and the heavy snow.

ENFORCEMENT OF LAW

"a few years ago there was loud COM
plant that the law could not be INVOKED
against wealthy offenders. There is no
such complaint now. The course OF the
department Of Justice during the iast
few years mas been such as to make IL
evident that no man stands above the
law, that no corporation is so wealthy
that it cannot be held to account. The
department of justice has been so prompt
to proceed against the wealthiest male
factor whose crime was one of greed and
cunning as to proceed against the agita-
tor who incites to brutal violence. Every
thing that can be done under the exist
ing law ana with the existing state OF
public opinion, which so profoundly in
fiuences both the courts and Jries, mas
been done. But the laws themselves need
Strengthening in more than one important
point they should be made more definite,
SO that no honest man can be led un-
willingly to break them, and so that the
real wrongdoer can be readily punished.
Moreover, there must be the public
opinion back of the laws or the laws
themselves will be of no avail. At pres
ent, while the average juryman un-
doubtedly wishes to see trusts broken

poration itself, he is very reluctant to

Jail a member of the business community

"Both the present condition of the law
and the present temper of juries render
1t a task of extreme difficulty to get at
the real wrongdoer in any such case,
especially by Imprisonment. Yet it is
from every standpoint far preferable to
punish the prime offender by imprison-
ment rather than to fine the corpora ton
with the attendant damage to stock
holders.
Against Sentimentality
''The two greet evils in the execution
of our criminal laws today are senti-
mentality and technicality. For the lat

hands of the legislatures, the courts and

its cure upon the gradual growth of a
sound public opinion which shall insist

THE TARIFF

sThis country is definitely committed
to the protective system and any effort
to uproot 1t could not but cause wide
spread Industrial disaster. In other
words, the principle of the present tariff
law could not with wisdom be changed.
But in a country of such phenomenal
growth as ours 1t is probably well that
every dozen years or SO the tariff laws
should be carefully scrutinized so as to
see that no excessive or improper bene-
fits are conferred thereby, that proper
revenue is provided and that our foreign
trade is encourageds There must always
be as a minimum a tariff which will not
only allow for the collection of an ample
revenue but which will at least make
good the difference in cost of production
here and abroad; that is, the difference
in the labor cost here and abroad, for
the well being of the wage worker must
ever be cardinal point Of American
policy.
"The question should be approached
purely from a business standpoint; both
the time and the manner of the change
being such as to arouse the minimum of
agitation and disturbance in the business
world, and to give the least play for sell
fish and factional motives. The sole con-
sideration should be to see that the sum
total of changes represents the public
good. This means that the subject can
not with wisdom be dealt with in the
year preceding a presidential election,
because as a matter of fact experience
has conclusively shown that at such a
time it is impossible to get men to treat
it from the standpoint of the public good.
In my Judgment the wise time to deal
with the matter is Immediately after such
election.

INJUNCTIONS

Instances of abuse in the granting of
injunctions in labor disputes continue to
occur, and the resentment in the minds
of those who feel that their rights are
being invaded and their liberty of action
and of speech unwarrantably restrained
continues likewise to grow. Much of the
attack on the use of the process of in
junction is wholly without warrant, but
am constrained to express the belief
that for some of it there is warrant
This question is becoming more and
more one of prime Importance, and un-
less the courts will themselves deal with
it in effective manner 1t is certain ulti-
mately to demand some form of legisla-
tive action 1t would be most unforaun-
ate for our social welfare If we should
permit many honest and law-abiding
citizens to feel that they had just cause
for regarding our courts with hostility.
earnestly commend to the attention of
the congress this matter, so that some
way may be devised which will limit the
abuse of injunctions and protect those
rights which from time to time it un-
warrantably invades. Moreover. dis
content Is often expressed with the use
of the process of injunction by the
courts, not only in labor disputes but
where state laws are concerned. re-

thirty-one millions year. This repre-
sents an approximation between income
and outgo which 1t would be hard to I'M
prove. The satisfactory working of the
present tariff law has been chiefly re-
sponsible for this excellent showing. New

THE German law is especially Interest,"
ing to us because it makes the inheritance
tax an imperial measure while allotting
to the individual states of the empire a
portion of the proceeds and permitting
them to impose taxes in addition to those
imposed by the imperial government.
Small inheritances are exempt, but the
tax is so sharply progressive that wnen
the inheritance Is still not very large,

forest land 1t is taxed at the rate OF
25 per cent II 1t goes to distant relatives:
There is no reason why in the united
States the national government shoulo
not impose Inheritance taxes In ADDITION
to those imposed by the states, and when
we last had an inheritance tax about one
half of the states levied such taxes con-
currently with the national government,

French law has one feature which Is TO

higher rate is imposed only on the ex-
cess above the amount subject to the
next lower rate; so that each increase oI

above a certain maximum The tax should
IL possible be made to bear more heavily
upon those residing without the country
than within it.
Progressive Tax Good
"a heavy progressive tax upon very
large fortune is in no way sucn taN
upon thrift or industry as like tax
would be on a small fortune. NO ao-
vantage comes either to the country as
a whole or to the individuals inheriting
the money by permitting the transmis-
sion In their entirety OF the enormous
fortunes which would be affected by such
a tax; and as an incident to Its functlon
of revenue raising, such a tax Wouiu
help to preserve measurable equality
of opportunity for the people of the gen.
erations growing to manhood.
I'VE have not the slightest sympathy
with that socialistic idea which would
try to put laziness, thriftlessness anu
inefficiency on a par with industry, thrift
and efficiency, which would strive to
break up not merely private property,
but what Is far more important, the
home the chief prop upon which our
whole civilization stands. Such theory,
If ever adopted, would mean the rum OF
the entire country-a ruin which Woulo
bear heaviest upon the weakest, upon
those least able to shift for themselves.
But proposals for legislation such as
herein advocated are directly opposed
to this class of socialistic theories.
"Our aim is to recognize what Lincoln
pointed out: The fact that there are
some respects in which men are obvi-
ously not equal; but also to insist that
there should be an equality of self-res-
pect and of mutual respect, an equality
of rights before the law. and at least
an approximate equality in the conditions
under which each man obtains the chance
to show the stuff that is in him when
compared to his fellows.
