MAY CHASE WHITES INTO SEA
Representative Murdoek Says Large
Sugar Planters Aid Japs.

Sugar Planters Aid Japs.
Washington, June 17.-Representa-
tive Murdoch of Kansas said that he
expected some day to see the Japs
chase all the Americans and white
men in Hawaii into the sea If they do
not leave of their own free will.
give years ago I spent considerable
time in Hawaii making an investiga-
tion of conditions on my own hook"
he said. II was horror struck at what
I found My opinions were such that
when l returned to the United States
an article l had written was deemed
too radical for publication.
1.-The truth about Hawaii is that the
big sugar planters, who own practi.
cally all the land, want japanese coolies
to do the work. They discourage white
labor and throw so many obstacles in
the way of small sugar planter that
his land is eventually surrendered to
them"
A dispatch from Honolulu said that
the situation growing out of the in
dictment by the grand jury Of the sew
enteen leaders in the strike Of Japa-
nese plantation laborers had taken an
international turn when NJ. Negoro of
the editorial staff Of local japanese
publication, who had been arrested
when the Office of his paper was raid
ed by the authorities on June II, made
formal complaint to the japanese for
eign office of violation of his treaty
rights. This violation, it was said, con-
sisted in the search of his office and
the seizure Of his private papers and
documents by the territorial authori-
ties without due process Of law.

Information from competent Russo

friction over the Balkan situation.

ed in mediation, undertaken at the

Editorial Notes.
By 7. D. Watson.

Now that the Senate has the Tariff bill in
charge, changes will be made which will alter
the looks of the measure from bad to worse.
On the first day, Aldrich and his followers
decided to strike out the inheritance tax clause
and keep the 20 per cent duty on all refined
products Of petroleum.
This is fair example of what may be eX-
pected by the people from the Senate.
The Senate will see that the Trusts are not
hurt.
What looked like good thing for the peo-
pie in the Payne Tariff Bill when it passed the
House, proves to be Joker that will not
set we'll with the people.
It was understood that the House had placed
oil on the free list applied to all products of
petroleum.
Congressman who wanted oil on the free
list voted for the bill thinking it put oil on the
free list, and so thought the newspapers.
But il did not put oil on the free list and
that is where the ''joker,'' which is very poor
joke to all except the Standard Oil crowd,
comes in.
Crude petroleum is placed on the free list,
but the refined products must pay duty of
20 per cent.
And how does the Standard Oil Company
gain by this?
The Oil Trust buys most of its crude petro-
leum in the open market and does its own re-
fining in this country, and in this way escapes
the duty on refined products.

The CITY of San Francisco has been after

from the would-be assassin's wound, he did
not to get frightened and'qut.
On the other hand, he went for the rascas
harder than ever
Among those indicted for big graft is Pat
rick Calhoun, we'll known to many people
road as Pat Calhoun.
Calhoun was charged with bribing certain
city officials to get special privileges for his
city railways, and the district attorney had
certain papers which he considered positive
proof Of Calhoun's guilt
But few days ago it was discovered that
the papers had been stolen, and Calhoun was
supposed to be the man who had them stolen.
But Calhoun made a mistake in sizing up
the men who were on his trail.
Several days after the theft W. J. Burns
who had been at the head of the evidence-hun-
ters in the graft crusade entered Calhoun's
office with search warrant and demanded
that he be allowed to search the place.
Calhoun and his employees refused the de-
mand
Burns then smashed his way into Calhoun's
private office, broke open his private safe, and,
1t is claimed, found the stolen evidence.
Evidently those San Francisco prosecutors
have become convinced that they must fight
the devil with fire.

The Standard can 90 into Mexico and buy
cheap petroleum which is shipped to its re-
fneries in the United States free of duty
But the Mexican oil man who could sell
the people of this country his refined products
cheap in proportion as he sells Rockefeller
his crude petroleum is shut out bv duty
of 20 per cent on his refined products.
In other words the Oil Trust has stronger
strangle hold on the people than it had be-

The Standard Oil Company may buy crude

it here and refine it and rob the consumer Out
of the twenty per cent which the Mexican

AS the inheritance tax clause of the present
Tariff Bill is attracting SO much attention, it
is interesting to read the report of Charles
M. Pepper, who has been investigating the
British system for the Bureau of Manufactu-
ries, Department of Commerce and Labor, in
connection with the tariff revision.
The report shows that of the various classes
of inheritance taxes the chief sources of revenue
are estates proper, which last year Melted Great
Britain approximately ST. 100000; legacies,
SIG, 100000, and SUGGESTIONS, $3,5oo,ooo.
This makes an aggregate of $o4, 10000 out
of a total internal revenue of $48ooOo,oOO, or
almost one-ffth
Then too, this $o4, 100000 is drawn from
population of about 100000 people, and
about 1000 estates paid the bulk of the
$94,5ooooo.
The gross value of the estates contributing
to the inheritance tax in 1908 was $685.
100000 The number of estates contributing
was $67,533 and out of this number less than
1000 Of the richer estates contributed the bulk
OF the total amount of income from this source
$o4, 100000
If British inheritance tax, drawn from
population of 44,oOO,ooo brings in revenue
of $o4, 10000, to the British government
and if 1915 estates, valued at $4,000 and up
wards pay the bulk of this tax, what would be
the amount of revenue such tax would bring
to the United States government when we
have population twice as great and thousands
Of estates valued at over $4,000?
If Congress would pass an inheritance and
income tax measure, give a parcels post
and establish postal savings banks, we would
have no need for other sources of revenue to
the government.
On the other hand, we would soon have
surplus in the national treasury running into
the millions instead of yearly deficit of mil

to enact some State platform demands into
