Economists Alarmed Over

SOCIALIST PROGRAMME
Calls for Big Extension--Arabs Stop 4
British Steamer Line--Result Of
Attack on Boats on the Tigris
River.

Paris, March notwithstanding the
enormous wealth of France and the i'm.
mense boarded earnings OF her thrifty
people, French economists are genuinely
alarmed over the financial outlook. The
budget has reached the four billion francs
mark with only beginning made upon
the extensive program Of reforms, in
yolving the expenditure Of hundreds Of
millions, which is being urged upon Par.
lament by the advanced Socialists. The
income tax bill, the rates OF which can
be progressively increased, is the meas
ure by which the socialists expect ulti-
mately to take from the well-todo
classes the funds necessary to realize
their reforms. The struggle of the op-
posing forces has called attention to an
interesting controversy now being
threshed out in the French and English
papers as TO the relative material well.
being of the working classes in the two
countries.
A set of figures complied by the Eng
lish board of trade, giving the wages and
cost Of living in France compared with
those in England, concludes that the
English workman has the better of the
situation in respect to his current ex-
penditures, but that the advantages ac-
cruing to the English workman are part.
ly offset by the Frenchman's natural
sense Of thrift and economy. The French
workman pays less rent than the Eng.
lishman, but the Frenchman pays much
more for food and at the same time
receives lower wages. Boots and shoes
and clothing cost fifty per cent. more in
France than in England, and food gen
orally is very much higher Fuel is
almost twice as high. On the other hand
the French enjoy the advantage Of more
steady employment, which is largely &C.
counted for by the fact that fifty per
cent live in the country. whereas eighty
five per cent. Of the English working.
men are crowded intothe cities.
A remarkable feature of the French
life is the aid furnished BY the wife's
wage earning capacity. Her contribution
is thirty-eight per cent. Of the total
French family income. Above all, how.
ever, the English report lays stress upon
the natural French habit Of saving as
preventing economic crises in families,
the family generally managing TO put
away from one tenth to one fourth of
the annual income.

relieve almost any case OF bladder trou.
BILE, frequent urination, pain and scald-
ing, weakness and backache, pain above

blood, relieving the worst forms Of rheu.
matism and kidney and bladder troubles.

Opposition Moves on Gov

FOR MORE DREADNOUGHTS
Mr.. Lee Says That Opposition vii
Withdraw II Government Undertakes
to Adopt a Program Of Eight
Dreadnoughts.

London, March 3O.--In the House o.
Commons yesterday Arthur Hamilton
Lee, Conservative member for the Fare
ham division of Hampshire, to whom IN,
duty has been delegated by Arthur Bal
four, leader OF the opposition intro.
duced the motion for vote Of censurg
ON the government in connection with
the naval crisis, in accordance with the
notice given by Mr.. Balfour several days
ago.
The motion was greeted with loud
opposition cheers in full House. II
read. Resolved, that, in the opinion
of this House, the declared policy of his
majesty's government respecting imme.
date provision Of battleships Of the new
est types does not sufficiently secure the
safety Of the nation
Mr.. Lee, in speaking to the motion,
denied that the opposition was actuated
by other than patriotic motives in NOV
ing a vote Of censure The only way
in which the government could secure
the absolute safety OF the country was
by assuming that every other naval
power was a potential enemy. Great
Britain could not shut her eyes to Ger
many's capacity Of naval construction,
and must, at all costs, maintain in ships
Of the latest type her superiority over
the one power which alone had the
means to overwhelm Britain and chal-
lenge her naval SUPREMACY.
The opposition would be glad to with
draw the motion, he said, If the govern
ment would undertake to adopt a pro.
gram Of eight Dreadnoughts, Otherwise,
there was no alternative but to proceed
with the motion in the interest Of the
safety Of the whole empire.
Dir. Lee deprecated any unnecessary
warmth of language in spite of the prov
ocation given by the prime minister He
refuted the argument that the opposition
was indulging in party spirit in bringing
forward the motion. On the contrary,
the attitude Of Mr.. Balfour had been
patriotic throughout.
The happiest touch Mr.. Lee made in
his speech was when he stated that
Prime Minister Asquith had described
the agitation as manufactured and arti.
fetal He ought to be good Judge"
said Lee, "as he manufactured it him
self" The retort brought forth immense
cheering from the opposition benches.

TRAGEDY In HOME OF
FORMER GOVERNOR
A Relative Of a Former Executive Of
Colorado Shoots Woman and
SeTf

Denver, Col, March 30.--The splendid
home Of former Governor Mcdonald was
the scene Of tragedy yesterday morn
ing, when John Collins, Mr.. McDonald's
father.in-law, shot Miss Sarah Nichols
Mrs. McDonaId's aunt, and then killed
himself. Miss Nichols was shot in the
head She was removed to the hospi.
tai, where it was said that she can
hardly recover.
The shooting occurred at $500 o'clock.
There is lot of mystery as to the
causes leading up to II. 1t is generally
believed that Collins, who was 10 years
old, became temporarily insane. He had
been East only recently. and it is said
that he visited New York.
SO far as can be learned there was no
eyewitnesses to the tragedy. While the
police we're inclined to suppress the facts
surrounding 1t, it was learned that the
shooting took place on the ground floor
Of the Mcdonald house, 1851 Logan ave.
nue.. in the Capitol Hill district. Mrs.
Mcdonald was upstairs at the time She
hurried down at the sound Of the shots
and found her aunt and father lying
on the floor. Her father was already
dead. Miss Nichols had a bullet wound
in her head.
Mrs. Mcdonald became hysterical and
when the ambulance was called from st.
Luke's hospital to take her aunt to the
institution she was taken along for
treatment.
Former Gov. Mcdonald is in Leadville
on mining business. He was summoned

TAFT'S VIEW OF
TARIFF RATES
FavOrs Reduction on NeceS-

HIS TALK ON REVENUE
The President Tells Hale, Dalzell and
Others Articles on Food, Clothing
and Housing Should Be
Reduced.
HIS TALK ON REVENUE

Washington, March so.--Members OF
Congress who called on President Taft
at the White House yesterday represent
the president as favorine general reduc-
ton OF the tariff on the necessaries Of
life. II was said by some Of these callers
that while the president wishes not to
interfere with the functions which should
he performed by Congress in the enact.
ment Of a new tariff law, he will not fail
TO let his views on certain general ques-
tions be known TO the members OF the
House and Senate.
The president IL said to be deeply con-
cerned over the matter Of revenues, but
he realizes that there must be a reduc.
tion in tariff rates in many schedules.
This reduction he thinks should apply
with double force to those articles which
are used in feeding, clothing and housing
the people.
Senator Hale Of the Senate finance
committee, and Representative Dslzell,
the ranking member OF the House com
mittee on ways and means, were among
those who talked with President Taft
yesterday morning. Representative Hin
shaw Of Nebraska, who had a brief talk
with Mr.. Taft, said afterward;
Il am not authorized TO speak for the
president or to quote him in any way,
but suppose there is no harm in saying
that the president thinks the reduction
in duties which win be made in the new
tariff should be applied to the necessaries
of life.'
Although President Taft has shown
opposition to refrain from all sorts of
executive interference, and to leave Con-
gress untrammeled to do its legislative
work, it is noticeable that many sena-
tors and members Of the House call on
him every day seeking his Influence in
favor of such aAd such rates on such and
such schedules IN the tariff bill. A vfsf-
tor from the West who called at the
White House the other day wanted to
salrpfss- lumber tar
in. but failed 10 30 -
4 know that the president, by one
word,' he said, could have the 81 rate
on lumber restored"
The same idea Of the presidents power
in the matetr Of tariff schedules seems
to prevail in many quarters, and his in
fuence is being sought by scores Of per-
sons, many of them members Of Con-
gress. Every day there are mighty few
visitors at the White House who do not
come on one of two errandsto talk
with him in regard to special interests in
the tariff or in regard to federal appoint
inents. Between these two subjects the
presidents time is being taxed to the
utmost.
