1t is impossible to believe that the
most extravagant imagination of MI.
c. l.. Reimer could wander so far into
the vastness of the future as to con-
ceive the idea that some day the trees
which he was importing would become
the idol of the people of California
and of the whole nation, and that III
this idol would be present the quail
ties which would save the nation from
a disastrous famine which would
threaten one of our most important
industries with total annihilation.
Mr. Reimer introduced fourteen spe-
cies of Eucalypti into California In
1856. and from that time the industry
of propagating eucalyptus trees has
gone steadily forward, and has
reached quite considerable proportions.
Half a century has elapsed since this
exotic took up its abode in California,
sent it's roots downward in search of
giving water and spread ITS
branches to the semi-tropic and in
vigorating breezes. At that time the
nation had wood to burn, and did lit
orally burn lt-wastefully and wall

most wasteful ever known. Pioneers

would return a better investment from

Those days were but as yesterday.
Stop and think. Today we are threat

and which obstructed the agricultural
developments of the country. Today

planting timber on wheat lands. What

The rise IN the price of lumber which

to suffer from the scarcity of timber

there was n king who had deformed

1t took many, many days to decide
whether to go where her heart led or

Farmer Wayne received one letter

he forbade his wife to mention her

American Capital in Canada.

h intrinsic value of a protective
tariff is conclusively shown in a Can
adam consular report just made pub
lie, showing that 100000 OF
American capital is invested in Can
ada by manufacturers who also have
plants in this country. These fac.
tories have been established in Can
ada to retain trade which is impossi.
BILE to supply probably from the home
factories on account Of the Canadian
tariff. The best information is there
are 175 Of these firms and the largest
plant is that Of the international
Harvester company at Hamilton, en-
ploying 1000 men. Shoe manufac-
turers are also largely represented.
These institutions, If it were not for
the Canadian tariff, could undoubtedly
supply the trade from plants in the
United States more economically than
to erect new ones there.
These facts have no bearing upou
the justice or injustice Of the par
ticular schedules in our pending tariff
bill, but have a bearing on the value
OF the protective principle. They
~demonstrate the fallacy of democratic
platform declarations and the short.
siEhtedness Of democratic leaders who
are denouncing other democrats in
congress who have favored protective
duties. II the tariff can force our
United States manufacturers to erect
factories in Canada to secure Can.

Attack on Pure Food Law.

The impression is growing that the
suit brought by the Hippolite Egg COM
pany against Secretary Wilson is
backed by large interests and is to
be made q test of the validity of the
federal pure food law. The country
at large has little interest in cases in
volving applications OF the law. but
1t has q material interest in it's under
lying principles. The allegations in
the petition indicate hat the case
aims to destroy all federal regulation
OF food products by challenging the
power of congress to pass and the de-
partments to enforce a pure food law
as an illegal assumption Of the states
police powers.
State pure food laws have proven
ineffective to regulate business where
portions Of It are interstate and a por-
tion i~ntrastats. Local restrictions are

Complaining the Tariff.

Reviewing the attitude Of the news
papers of the country the New York
World remarks that "the leading re-
publican newspapers Of the country,
like the democratic and independent
press, have been practically of one
mind in condemning the Aldrich
tariff BILL" and that this is the first
tariff bill since the civil war which
has not had the support Of the repub-
lican press" The World cites a num-
Der Of influential republican newspa-
pers throughout the country that have
expressed their dissatisfaction with
the progress of tariff revision, and
finds II significant that there are but
a few notable exceptions Of newspa-
pers that are Internationally Indoors
ing the work Of the senate tariff
makers.
While the World Toes not refer
specifically to The Bee, u readers
will recall hat from the start we
have proceeded on the assumption
that the final form Of the tariff bill
will not be known until It emerges
from the conference committee, and
that there Is little more warrant for
passing comment on the senate
schedules as the final draft than there
was for accepting the house schedules
as the last word. We do not hesitate
to say that we are disappointed In
the manner in which the senate has
gone about recasting the house bill,
taking the house schedules for the
most part as the minimum and strik-
ing a mean between them and the
schedules Of the present Dingley tariff.
II should not be forgotten, however,
that before the bill goes to the presi-
dent for his approval OF disapprovsl,
the differences between the house and
senate will have to be adjusted In
conference and 1t Is still possible for
the conference committee to bring or
der out of chaos by compromises that
will be fairly responsive to the D
lar demand for real tariff revision.
The development that was not an
~ticipated is the incorporation into the
tariff bill OF the proposed tax on cor
porate net earnings. While this tax
in itself lie not specially Objectionable
in case 1t is needed to produce the re-
CURED revenue, 1t looks like the sugar
coating on a tariff pill designed to d.
vert attention from the kernel when
It could Just as well wait until after
the" tariff is readjusted and it is def
nitely known whether or not addi-
tional sources of revenue must be
drawn on. In our opinion revision Of
the tariff should have first considera-
ton, free from complicating entangle-
ments with other methods Of revenue
raising.

First Fruits of ths D.no,it Tau.

First Fruits Of the Deposit Law.
Although the new Nebraska deposit
law has not yet become effective, and
is not scheduled to be in force until
next month, we are already gathering
Its first fruits. There is no doubt
that the alleged success Of the guar
anty experiment in Oklahoma had
much to do with h spread of the doc
trine here. and that except for the
Oklahoma object lesson no such legis-
lation would have been enacted In Ne
braska.
The strongest evidence produced in
favor OF deposit guaranty was the ex-
hibit Of the increased number of banks
avaiIing themselves OF the guaranty
fund in Oklahoma, many of them be-
ing re-incorporations Of national
banks giving up their national bank
charters. 1t was further predicted,
with some FEASIBILITY, that unless the
comptroller reversed his ruling for
bidding national banks to participate
In state guaranty deposit funds the
national banks in all states where
such guaranty funds were maintained
would find It to their advantage to be-
come state banks in order to maintain
their business and standing.
But. here in Nebraska, instead OF
starting an exodus from the ranks Of
the national banks to get in on the
guaranty fund, the first effect of the
new law turns out to be just the re-
verse, and as a consequence all the
largest state banks which would have
been compelled to make the heaviest
contributions to the guaranty fund
have converted themselves into ma
tional banks, convinced hat under the
new arrangement the restrictions and
limitations Of the national banking
law, although more severe than those
Of the state banking law, are still pre-
ferable for long established banks cap
requirements.
In comparing the effects Of the de-
posit guaranty in Oklahoma and Ne
braska one feature should not be over
looked, and that is the bait Of public
deposits held out in Oklahoma to
bring the banks into the deposit fund.
The Nebraska law, while assuming
that the guaranty fund accords the in
dividual depositor all the security he
needs, still leaves the state, county
and municipal authorities free to place
public money In any depository quail
flying with the required bond, so that
there is no inducement to any bank to
accept the guaranty fund scheme in
order to Keep It's deposits of public
money. 1t is plain already that the
different conditions prevailing in Ne
braska make Oklahoma's experience
with its deposit guaranty law Of little
value in forecasting what will be the
outcome of the Nebraska deposit
guaranty law.
