ERROR FOUND IN
GAMBLING LAW

For many years Washington had no
law making it crime to play at a
gambling game, that is. no law against
the players, but had law which pun
ished the owner of the game.
Such was the contention of H. j.
Snively in the state supreme court, in
asking that the conviction of five Pas
co men under the supposed law be set
aside
Mr. Snively went back into the orig
inal records and produced a certified
copy of the original law, showing con-
clusively that as the act passed the
legislature the word pay was not
included. BaIlinger's code, which is
generally referred to by attorneys
rather than to examine the individual
session laws, included the word play"
and it was this inclusion upon which
the charges were made and the trial
and conviction had
If Mr., Snively's contention is sus-
tanned by the supreme court, as he
confidently expects, it will set aside

n. r. Sylvester who. as players, were
tried and convicted of violating the
law by playing poker in Sylvester's

voted on the various schedules--were
sorced to do it by the republican lead
ers-withont having the slightest idea
OF what the foreign cost of production
OF the articles affected really was.
Yet the figures as to the cost of pro-
duceitn were attainable Here they
are as to cotton production:
The census in 1905 shows that the
wage of the average employee in the
cotton manufacturing industry in the
United States is 1904 a year, s25.ss
month. sass a week. 81 cents a day.
This astonishingiv low average is due
to the large number OF children and
women. and foreigners. on the pay
rolls
In England from whence comes tho,
greatese competition to our manu-
facturers of cotton. the annual wage
of the average employe is s233.2S;
monthly wage. $19.45;, weekly wage,
S4.4S; daily wage. IA cents These fig
ures are from the official report of
the British board of trade, based on
the census of 1906 The cost of nv-
ing is much cheaper in Great Britain
that, according to former United
States Commissioner of Labor Carroll
d. Wright. the British cotton mill en-
ploye can purchase more of the nee
essaries of life with his daily wage of
IA cents than the American mill work
er can with his 81 cents.
The average per cent of duty fixed
by the Payne Aldrich- S:moot law is
in excess of 40 per cent An attempt
to justify this amount of prote ction by
the actual difference in the cost of
production at home and abroad would
be ridiculous. Granting that foreign
goods have no cost whatever, the rates
in the present tariff law on cotton
goods would still be excessive. !
provided for "a reasonable profit to
American industries This brings
up the query: Must the American
cotton manufacturer have the present
excessive protection on cotton goods to
meet competition
The amount of profit enjoyed by the
beneficiaries of the cotton schedule
is the best answer to this question.
Here are a few of multitude of
similar Illustrations which could be
given.
The Bates Manufacturing Co. of
Lewiston. Me. capitalized at $780,
900, with surplus of S1,100,OOO, had
ret earnings in 1907 amounting to A.
81 per cent and declared divident of
50 per cent.
The Pepperell Manufacturing Co.. o,
Biddeford, Me-, has declared dividends
averaging "a per cent for the last
nine years: in 1905 it's dividends were
AZ per cent, and in 1906. So per cent.
The Algonquin Printing Co, orga-
nized in 1898 and capitalized for $780,
600, had in 1907 an earned surplus OF
s75O.OOO During the last nine years
it's net earnings have aggregated COZ
per cent. or six times the entire amount
of the capital invested.
