Kellogg today made his closing ad-

the latter's suit to dissolve the Stand

The case holds the record for big

Finance Committee Takes

pectatiOn is That it
Will Report Tuesday

SESSION AND WILL RUSH
WORK THROUGH = LUMBER
SCHEDULE PRINCIPAL FIGHT.

WASHINGTON. April io.-The
Payne tariff bill reached the senate
from the house at 1902 this after
noon and was Immediately referred
TO the committee an finance.
II is believed that receipt of the
bill ut this time will insure its re-
port from the committee on finance
not later than next Tuesday noon.
Very soon after the bill had been
received in sthe senate, the Republi-
can members of the committee re-
sumed their sitting with the intention
of continuing in session not only
throughout the day hut late into the
night.
While the principal fight ON the
final passage of the Payne tariff bill
in the house was ON the lumber
schedule. the only change made in
this was In the elimination OF the
provision for a counteryailing duty
As Il now stands. the schedule pro-
vides for a duty of 5 per 1000 feet
on ordinary sawed lumber. as against
81 per thousand under the Dingley
Law.
In cases in which lumber has been
planed or finished an additional duty
of 80 cents per thousand is provided
on each side of the material that has
been treated. Hewn lumber or
round timber such as Is used In max
ing spars or In buildings, is made
dutiable at the rate of one-half cent
per cubic foot.

WASHINGTON, April 10-The bill
10 provide for the thirteenth census
was the order of business when the
senate met at noon. The section
placing examinations for appoint
ments TO the census staff under the
civil service commission was under
consideration when the measure was
taken up. The bill passed late this
afternoon. The house was not IN
session today.
When the senate committee on
finance concluded It's session tonight
it was with the understanding that
all avenues 10 the committee room
had been closed and that the few ses-
sions to be held prior To the report
ing of amendments to the Payne bill
would not be hampered by sugges-
tlons from the outside. The commit
tee Is now prepared TO insert rates on
certain important matters.
Among the schedules attracting
particular attention now. are metals
and manufactures of metals, lumber,
hides, hituminous coal and sugar.
No rates on steel aud iron have
been inserted as yet, although II Is
practically settled that iron ore Will
he taxed 20 cents ton and proper
tionate rate will be assessed against
scrap iron and steel refuse fit only
10 be manufactured.
The iron interests are concerned
chiefly In getting an increase over the
rates of the Payne bill on rails and
structural iron. The Payne bill cuts
the existing rate on steel rails from
$7.Si to $3.92. just one-half. Steel
men contend that the Payne rates
are too severe "A reduction. They
have asked that a rate of $5.SS be
fixed on rails. II is generally beliey-
ed the committee will name a rate of
about 81 per ton. On structural steel
1t is likely that the Dingley rates OF
one-half a cent a pound will he main
tained, instead of adopting rate OF
three-tenths of a cent pound, as
fixed by the Payne bill.

SUPERVISORS SHOULD
HAVE GIVEN PEOPLE A BOND

LOS ANGELES, July S1.-[Editor
Herald: It is too late to cry over
spilled milk but it occurs to me that
in the failure of the supervisors to
live up to their promises concerning
the good roads advisory committee
some of the blame should be placed on
the commercial bodies back of the ad-
visory committee. The members of
these bodies who are not politicians
are hard-headed business men who
hire only TRUSTED men as employees
and compel even them to give bonds
in a surety company.
How much more, then, should these
commercial organizations have re-
uuired of the supervisors substantial
bonds for the performance of their pre-
election contract when they and the
public in general-especially voters
did not trust the supervisors. The eX-
istence OF the advisory committee alone
proved this distrust.
This distrust on the part Of voters OF
their servants was strongly evidenced
not so very long before when the peo-
ple by DIRECT vote refused to vote
bonds for enlarging the county court
house when the money was to have
been spent by supervisors not elected
by the people direct, but through
straight CD party convention.
1t was a farce for these organizations
to bind the supervisors by mere
promise when they were deeply dis
trusted, and more of farce not 10 pro-

FORCE VS.. LAW

A THOUGHTLESS BABBLER says
in the London Express: above
~ all we are living in a world Of
war We are living in world where
force is the dominant and supreme
factor"
This atavistic view of life may not be
uncommon in the British empire and
the United States, which are peoped by
men who come of a fighting breed. But
many other ideas which betray the
barbaric origin of the modern leaders
of civilization have been subdued, and
so should this one. Barbarism has been
modified in almost every respect ex-
cepting that of war. Weapons are still
used too freely in private life. There
are too many revolver murders and
suicides, but men no longer engage in
street duels to the death, and bands of
assassins can no longer be hired to put
a rival out of the way. Notwithstand-
ing certain northern demonstrations
which were merely criminal eccentrici-
ties, it is not considered good form to
blow up man in his home with dyna-
mite or to shoot a public official while
engaged in the discharge of his duty.
In private and social life we are NOT
living in a world where force is the
dominant and supreme factor
If any citizen should become obsessed
by this strange idea that force is the
dominant and supreme factor In civil
ization and should illustrate his obses-
sion by his actions he would soon
find himself doing time" Law is the
dominant and supreme factor In pri-
vate and social life, and should be the
predominant and supreme factor in
national life. The world is filled with
nations which still believe in taking the
law into their own hands, and In arm
ing themselves with murderous weapons
wherewith to enforce claims or (save the
mark SETTLE" disputes. To lovers Of
altruism, reform and real progress it Isl
disheartening to find one of the prin-
cipal papers published in the biggest
and most populous of all Civilized"
cities talking of force" as the pre-
dominant and supreme factor. For
tunately for mankind, the statement,
while there is some foundation for il.
is not exactly and altogether true.

INVASION

I ET'S take a look into this glib
talk about the invasion of Eng
land (Which, of course, would
practically amount to an invasion of
the United Kingdom, just as an in
vasion Of California would be an in
yasion of the United States).
The enemy has landed His aero
planes are tied to the various church
steeples which abound in southern
England. Business, of course, is sus-
pended. The rich banking Hebrews
who transact so per cent of the finan-
cial business of the United Kingdom,
and whose money. talent and energy
constructed the British Empire, have
padlocked their assets and are calling
in all their loans Drexel, Morgan &
Co. Of London suspend business with ].
Pierpont Morgan & Co. of New York.
All the financial Colossi who bestride
the Atlantic with one foot in New
York and the other in London are
crippled in one leg. The British not
only convert all loans into ready cash,
but suspend specie payment. They
substitute scrip on which is inscribed a
promise to pay ION the restoration of
Home Rule for the United Kingdom"
New York keeps the cables hot for
about one day, but finally a bulletin
displayed in the window of j. p. Nor
gan & co. to the effect the occupa-
ton of the United Kingdom will be
Ia hax
been reconstructed under the invaders
domination precipitates the most vio-
lent financial and business panic in the
worlds history. Conditions are cha
otic No one knows what to expect.
The civilized world is reduced to a
plight worse than that in which Eu
rope found itself at the height of the
Napoeonic wars.
To add to the confusion in the West
ern Hemisphere, Canada, rather than
be annexed to an alien power, de-
clares independence and appeals to
the United States to live up to the
Monroe doctrine by placing an army
and navy at the disposal of Canada,
The invader of Britain would by this
time be repenting heartily of his bar
gain. The food supply of the United
Kingdom would be exhausted; there
would be a horrible famine in the
crowded black country and London
region of England Every money mar
ket in the world would be disturbed
In fact, there would no longer be
financial system. Chaos would menace
European civilization and some of the
leading industries of the United States
would be ruined. In the attempt to
restore the balance of business and
the balance Of power the United States
would be compelled to combine with
the British colonies in an attempt to
liberate British industries and mar
kets from the repressive yoke Of the
invader.
It is all very we'll to prattle artlessly
about the aeroplane invasion OF
England" but while we prattle let US
think Of the true meaning of the terms
we lightly use.
