ASKS REPEAL OF BREAD LAW.
Chamber Of Commerce Considers It
Pernicious and Unfair. ..

The board of directors of the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday adopted a report
from a special committee recommending
that the old bread law" which has been
on the statute books of this city since
1858, be repealed, and stating that 1.-The in
terests of the public may be conserved by
acquiescence in the decision rendered by
Judge kimball declaring the ordinance to
be unconstitutional and void"
committee from the Chamber of Com
merce will appear before the Commits
sioners and ask them to withdraw the
appeal in the case of the District of
Columbia against George Hauff, which
involves the constitutionality of the bread
law.
The report stated that the requirements
of the ordinance cannot be complied with
by bakers. The committee viii urge es-
pecially that loaves of less than sixteen
ounces be made legitimate, as many small
families demand them.
Regardless of the consttutionality of
the law, the report contained paragraphs
urging the repeal of the act because con-
ditions now are not what they were half
a century ago. The law is characterized
as IAN unnecessary interference with the
right of contract, and in restraint of
trade and tends to fetter an industry
that should be encouraged.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-During the
few months prior to August s, when
President Taft signed the new tariff

The imports of principal articles
for the seven months ending July,
1909, are shown in detail in Ia state
ment issued by the bureau of statistics,
embracing also comparisons with fig.

Wide Doorways.

In the making yer of an old house,
as also in building new one, it is al
ways a good plan to have the door,
ways in the rooms on the first floor
made unusually wide, almost as large
as the rooms themselves, for in this
way a greater sense Of space and airi-
ness Is given even when the house Is
not large. Portieres may be hung in
these roomy doorways to keep away
drafts and to give a certain privacy,
but in warm summer days and also
when entertaining a large number Of
persons the portieres may be drawn
back and almost the entire ground
door thus transformed into one large

Paper From Cornstalks.

Uncle Sans busy chemists in Wash.

is manufactured out of old rags, and
the back fence can be turned into per.
fumed and tinted stationery, and that
newspapers are made OF primeval for
ests and damaged regulations. Now
they tell US that q common rural nui-
sance is an asset-that some day ev.
cry farmer can be his own paper trust.
The proposition from Washington
Is music to our ears. The disappear.
ance of our forests and the machina.
tions of the paper trust have made the
price Of paper soar like q Wright
aeroplane. At the rate we are going
now paper is destined to be beyond
the reach of ordinary mortals-paper
railroads will cost more than real
ones, and paper soled shoes will be
luxury which the rich only can enjoy.
II something isn't done about it, q
day may come when the Sunday news
paper will be no larger than the atlas
Of the world, and magazines will cost
so much to get out that there will be
no room for the advertisements.

HILL PREDICTS FAMINE.

When James j. Hill, of the Great
Northern, says something, it is worth
listening to and remembering. Had
he not been a great railroad king he
would have been great at something
else equally large in scope, says the
Butte Evening News. He has power
OF epigram in a wonderful degree, and
when a young man once asked him
how to get rich he answered simply,
"Get land"
Had anyone else said that a famine
was imminent in America it would
have sounded like %twaddle, but Jim
Hill does not talk carelessly.
MIR. Hill puts his finger on a spot
which brings conviction to the priv ate
citizen and shows him why it is hard
to get along. High prices of wheat,
and beef, and butter; of hams, and
pork, and fruit, is easily explained by
MIR. Hill, and he supplements his re-
marks with the ominous prophecy that
america will have q famine"
A few years ago three.tourths of the
American people were living in the
country and producing foodstuffs.
Now only IS per cent. of the people
live on farms, and IS per cent. in the
cities. Can one.third of q nation feed
two.thirds? Mr.. Hill says "No," and
that famine will result.
