I cities are also devotng ever in ( 4sing attention to the housing of the
 Tkmen employed by them and of the xss prosperous inhabitants of their dis fricts in general On the one hand. they construct cheap dwellings of a small size for the municipal workmen, or they stip- ulate by statute that such dwellings con- structed by them may only be let or sold to workmen and subaltern officials: on the other hand, they encourage private builders or building societies to construct such dwellings by granting them certain labors and subventions in money or by conceding municipal ground to build on. Besides they endeavor to improve the dwellings in existence and help the re- quirements of offer and demand to be met with by emitting police rules for the condition of dwellings, by appointing in- spectors of dwellings and opening dwell lings' register offices.
 The towns are further sndeavoring to satisfy the requirements of the work ing classes for education. for these re- quirements are steadily increasing with the improvement of the workmsn's ma- terial position.

For the performance of the social tasks described above, number of towns have thought fit to appoint spe- cial deputations so-called social com missions" whose duties it Is to pro- pose desirable measures for the welfare of the working classes and give their opinion on similar measures that are proposed from other quarters. Among the members of these commissions there are also representatives of the working classes. so that all preliminary work is done from the very beginning in touch with the interested workmen and the measures, when adopted, may be sure of being well received by them. What I have mentioned in no way gives complete picture of the present social activity of our communities.

Remarkable Vindication.

The Democratic platform for 1908
contained the following plank:
We favor an income tax as part
oi our revenue system, and we urge
the submission of constitutional
amendment specifically authorizing
Congress to levy and collect tax upon
individual and corporate incomes, to
the end that wealth may bear it's pro
portionatc share of the burdens of the
federal government.
Mr.. Bryan indorSrd this plank and
urged the necessity of conStitu-
tional amendment President Taft,
in his acceptance speech. insisted
that an amendment was not ncces-
Sary. For years the Republican
leaders have opposed an income tax
and denounced the Democrats for ad-
voca,ing it. But behold the change
President Taft sends Il message to
Congress proposing the submission
of an income tax amendment and it
passes the Senate by A UNANl-
NOUS VOTE ayes; nays. none.
and it will undoubtedly pass the
House Was vindication ever more
complete?
Democratic Governors in States

ought to call extra sessions at once
and secure immediate ratification of
the amendment. Income tax clubs
ought to be formed Immediately in
every county-non- partisan clubs TO

iSlatureS to vote for ratification.
Now is the time to act. The dollars

government in time of war can take
the husband from the wife, the son
from the mother and the father from
his children, and stand them up in
front of an enemy S guns, but it can
not, even in the hour of peril, compel
wealth to bear its share of the ex-
penses of the government. The in

One day last "eeIl, Capt. Chas. f.
Bartlett, ext. 5. Deputy Marshal
and Indian Scout, gave apublic cXhi-
bition, at the foot of Washington
Street, of fancy rifle shooting, before
a large crowd, many of whom had
come from a long distance. drawn
hither especially to witness the skill
of this worlds expert. This is not,
however, the primary object of the
Captain in making this tour, but to
demonstrate his faith in SmOkeless
and semi-smokeless Peters cartridges
at no greater cost than those loaded
with black powder, sold by the gen
eral trade.
Using Remington and other ri
tles. shooting 30.30 cartridges, he
first used pieces of brick tossed into
the air, for targets, which were in
variably shattered by bullets from
the unerring rifles. He shot at tin
can filled with water, sealed and
thrown into the air. The can was
reduced to a piece of scap-tin, while
the water passed off into spray or va
por in midair. a potato wrapped in
colored papers, was converted into a
meal, as if overbaked, and the pa
per was carried on the breeze as con-
fetti at back woods carnival. Steel
boiler plate in pieces couple of
inches square and three-eighths
thick, were pierced during flight
apparently as easily and with as neat
ly a cut hole, as if they had been
pieces of putty. With Stevens 81.
20 rifle he made q number of hits by
aiming the gun from a reflection in a
mirror with his back towards the
target and the rifle held over his
head, at either side and from between
his legs. Small discs of lead were
perforated in the air, from 22-cali-
ber rifle and distributed as souvenirs.
To show the cleanliness of the Pc
ters semi smokeless ammunition the
Captain fired $50 shots from %
calber rifle, without cleaning, and
the gun appears as clean as after
firing single shot. The Captain
fired all the shots from the magazine
of a Remington auto-loading into a
tin-can hurled into the air before the
can reached the ground, without
missing shot. He used simi-smoke-
less powder. 1t may be well to note
that it may be obtained of Duby,
general agent for that make of cart
ridges.

Recipe for Soda Loaf Cake"

In answer to call, Mrs. l.. Lau-
renee, of Oregon, sends the follow
ing recipe: THE ingredients are
one pound of flour; one pound OF
fine granulated sugar; half pound
of butter; yolk of eleven eggs; tea
spoonful of soda powdered and sifted
with the flour, very scant half-pint
of whole milk as rich and new as
may be, the grated rind of two or
anges and juice of one lemon and one
orange. Cream the butter and half
the sugar ard add the grated rinds
of the two oranges, beating until
very light; beat the yolks OF the eggs
until smooth and very light, and add
the remaining half of the sugar to
them; mix with the creamed butter,
stir in the flour containing the soda,
and when perfectly smooth add the
Juice of the orange and the lemon,

Labor Conditions in Hawaii.

During the last SIX week. several
thousands of Japanese plantation la
borers have been on strike in the
Hawaiian islands in order to obtain
an increase of wages. At the time
of the commencement of this strike
the men were receiving Sl9 and the
women $l5 each per month. They
were paid the highest wages of any
class of laborers in the islands. Fur
thermOre, they were furnished free
dwelling places and fuel From the
wages received they were enabled to
save considerable money, which they
sent back to their fatherland. Still
they were dissatisfied, because they
saw that their employers grew rich
very rapidly, and wanted a more
even divide. The employers objected
and paid Chinese and native strike
breakers Sl.50 per day as wages.
According to accounts. these JapS
maintain very thorough organiza-
ton; discipline and court-martial Of
ticers and members in regular mill
tary style. When injunctiOns are
issued by the courts, the writs are
ignored, which have resulted in few
arrests, followed by imprisonment
for contempt of court. In fact, they
seem to maintain a species CT govern
ment of their own, having learned
discipline from the army, as many of
these laborers served as soldiers in
their native land. 1t is said in some
quarters those Japs have listened to
the doctrines Of Socialism, and have
been made to believe they are en-
titled to the full products of their
toll. Evidently the situation in
those islands differs from any record
ed strike in the United States; the
employers being unable to send de-
tectives into their camps in order to
get information or evidence which
may be used to break up their unions.
Uncle Sam is beginning to expert
ence some of the blessings of his CO.
lonial policy. Moreover, the United
States might well take warning from
this Hawaiian situation, and obtain
an inkling of the troubles which this
country may experience if we shall
open our gates to Asiatic immigra-
ton, or pursue milk-and-water pol
icy with nations who do not and can
not be made to understand or appre-
ciate our institutions.
