INVESTIGATING THE BREAKING
OF PLEDGES.

Many members of congress think it
would be diverting and instructive to
investigate the accounts of the con-
gressional campaign committee Of both
parties We should think they might
be right.
The mystery of the last election was
the inexplicable return of a congress
that broke the pledges upon which it's
members as we'll as the president were
elected by revising the tariff upwards
instead of downward. The masses of
both parties have been trying to solve
this mystery ever since the extraor-
binary session of congress- Interest
will be increased if the regular session
should break in turn the party pledges
to carry out the policies to which they
were pledged.

support, and the house adjourned, just
35 minutes after the time agreed up
on for the democratic caucus. The
democratic caucus then assembled.
At the democratic caucus, Repre-
sentative Rainey, of Illinois, who was
denied a place on the Ballinger- Pin
chot investigating committee by the
republicans, addressed his colleagues
and withdrew his name from further
consideration in that connection.
Representative James also asked to
be relieved from a service upon the
committee, but upon motion of Mr.
Rainey, the caucus voted to ask Mr..
James to continue.
Mr. Lloyd, having stated a desire
to be left off the committee, the eau
Gus expressed vote Of confidence in
Mr.. Lloyd and decided to meet again
tomorrow night, when the question OF
acting upon the latter's successor will
be taken up. A motion by Repre-
sentative Sisson of Alabama, that

HOW THE TARIFF PUTS UP FOOD
PRICES.

The Statesman has often asserted
that excessive protection puts up all
prices, even those of articles not di-
rectly affected by it. We have been
hearing that the rise of farm products
couldd not be the result of the tariff
because the farmer never has had any
but shaw protection from the tariff.
For fine example of this indirect
but powerful influence examine the
effect upon American trade with Ger
many of the maximum duties that must
be put in effect within three months,
unless the plain intent of the Cannon
Aldrich law can be defeated by some
righteous Juggling of schedules by the
president through the treaty making
power or the tariff commission.
Germany's dutiable imports to this
country are more than 100000, 900.
The % per cent increase of the maxi
mum schedules will be applied to
these at the cost of the American peo-
pie We must pay so much more for
whatever articles of consumption we
import from Germany; indeed, we are
probably paying now in anticipation.
Here is the direct boost of prices.
Then our exports to Germany are
$500, 100000, including wheat, corn
cotton, meats, dried fruits, lumber and
the like On many of these Germany
will be obliged to apply her maximum
duties. This will transfer our market
in Germany for these things to Can
ada, South America and other coun-
tries, unless farm producers adopt the
manufacturers device of selling abroad
for half price and making il up with
higher prices at home.

DO SUBSIDIES BUILD UP.
SHIPPiNG?

Do subsidies really build up ocean
to shipbuilders and owners? The old
debate is revived by some statistics
collated by a secretary of a German
steamship company.
1t appears that the nations with the
largest subsidies have fewest ships in
proportion. For example, France
whose annual payment, more than
$4,000, 900, is almost equal to any two
others, gets only one ton of shipping
for every Sc paid. Austria with nearly
$5,0OO,OO0 gets about the same re-
turn. Germany with less than $4,000
900, the lowest subsidy payment on the
list, gets one ton of shipping for every
A cents spent.
The annual mail subsidies of Great
Britain, SIS, 100000, come next to those
of France, but her merchant navy is
so huge that she gets a ton of shipping
for every 40 cents paid. That is to
say, the largest shipping in Europe
pays the smallest relative subsidy.
Other European countries and Japan,
whose total shipping is about equal
to Germany's alone, have to pay from
So to IS a ton.
1t probably will be said that this is
because it takes time to build up
shipping with subsidies. But subsi-
dies. are paid by the ton and German
shipping has increased 100000 tons
and British 100000 within the last
ten years under these low payments,
while others have barely held their
own.
The United States has practically
no ocean shipping, but the indirect
subsidies to our coasting trade by nav
igation laws and protection are prob
ably the highest in the world

MARCOAI TO
BUILD PLAN

LONDON, Jan. 21-William Marconi
the inventor, sailed today for America,
where he will direct the new installa-
ton of his transatlantic wireless APP
paratus at Glace Bay, in place of that
destroyed by fire. The station at
Clifden, on the Irish coast, has been
re-equipped, and Marconi is confident
ly looking forward to a resumption
of transatlantic wireless service in
the course of the next month.
Experience in the actual working
of his. system before the destruction
of the Glace Bay apparatus had given
occasion for valuable observations
which will be utilized in the re-equip-
ment of both the Irish and Newfound-
land stations.

MINORITY IS
IN CONTROL
BRIEF Time
Republican Members Alb
sence in House Brings
About Curious State

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-An at
tempt by Representative Lloyd of
Missouri to resign as member of the
joint congressional committee to in
vestigate the Ballinger-Pinchot con-
troversy, brought about a curious
condition today in which the house,
for a time, found itself practically in
control of the minority, actual con-
troll of the body being prevented only
by parliamentary tactics.
1t having been given out that there
would be- a democratic caucus at 4:30
o'clock, most Of the republican MEM
bers went home, while practically
every democrat was in his place.
Motions to adjourn were defeated by
vociferous cheers from the demo-
Garlic side.
Mr. Lloyd's resignation was read,
whereupon Representative TaWney
made the point Of order that no one
was authorized to receive it and would
not be so authorized until the joint
committee should be organized. Even
then, he explained, the committee
would have authority to receive
resignation from one of it's members
only by inference. Mr.. Tawney I'M
dertook to demonstrate that Mr.. Lloyd
having been elected to membership in
the committee, could not escape ser
vice.
Underwood Is Opposedeto View.
This view was combatted by Mr..
Underwood of Alabama, who said the
no rnSjOnafIOn
Mr.. Lloyd attempted to obtain the
floor for an explanation, but was bar
red out by the parliamentary situa-
ton.
Mr.. Tawney, seeing the Impossible
ity of an adjournment attempted to
resume consideration of the deficiency
bill as a means to force an adjourn
ment. Again the democrats, in over
whelming numbers, voted down his
motion. Renewing his motion to ad-
journ. Mr.. Tawney demanded roll
call on the ground that no quorum
was present. While the roll call was
in progress and republican members
were being called from their homes
and hotels several miles away, Mr..
Underwood arose to make an explana-
ton.
| After some delay the A1abaman
succeeded in saying there had been a
general misunderstanding. He ex-
planned that he had no knowledge of
| Mr.. Lloyd's intention to offer his res
,, ignaiton at that time. The minority,
he added, had not purposely taken adj
vantage of the absence of republican
members He said it was manifestly

ORDINANCE NO. 1922.

An Ordinance providing for the con-
StructiOn of a sewer on College aven-
ue, beginning at a point "a feet NORTH
of the man11ole at the intersection OF
Isaacs avenue and College avenue
thence running north on College aven-
ue a distance of 1850 feet to the CEN

of Walla Walla, and creating an as

The City of Walla Walla does or
dain as follows:
Sec. 1. That a sewer be con-
structed on College avenue, beginning
at a point "a feet north of the man
hole at the intersection of Isaacs aven-
ue and College avenue, thence run

lance of 1850 feet to the center line
of Figuero street in the City of Walla
Walla, by the City of Walla Walla,
according to the plans and specifica-
tions heretofore adopted therefor, and
all lots and parts Of lots abutting on
said street between said terminal
points excluding improvements there
on, are hereby created into an as
sessment district for the purpose of
paying the cost of said improvement.

rected to publish in three successive
issues of the city official paper, no.
tice in accordance with the provisions
of Ordinance No. 1888, of the intention
to make, such Improvement
Sec. 3. The City Assessor is, here
by directed to make an assessment
and appraisement of all the lands ex-
elusive of. the Improvements included
in said district, and to report to the
council in tabulated form the assess
ment number, name off owner, or if
owner be unknown, report that fact;
description of lots appraised; value
and amount of benefits to be received
by the making Of said Improvement,
by each lot, piece or parcel of land in
said assessment district, together with
the amount of the estimated cost Of
said improvement to be assessed
against each lot, tract or parcel of
land, which report shall be filed by
the City Clerk for public inspection.

cannot receive the proper care, nur-
ture and education. A growing recog-
milton of this fact has led during the
last thirty years to fall in the BIRTH
rate among all the white races of the
world but the Slavic.
France started the movement about
a generation ago. England followed
in 1878; the Scandinavian countries ir
the .eighties Australasia in 1888,
Austria Hungary, Germany, Belgium
and Italy, in the nineties. In the Unit
ed States, in spite of the immigration
of prolific races, there has been a
steady decrease in the birth-rate dur
ing the. past 40 years.
The professor tells us that his in
yestigations in France, where the an
nual birth and death rates are about
even. show great Improvement in the
condition of all classes. Germany
wAich used to boast of it's annual roll
of 100000 more births than deaths
and call it an annual victory over
France, has experienced a change Of
heart. There is no longer a belief
that it is a woman's duty to bring as
many children as possible into the
world.
/. The ideal marriage and proper
sense of parental responsibility woul6
involve in all cases, according to Prof
Ross theory, the rearing of a family
of children So proportional to the FAM
lily income as not to be a burden to the
parents or a menace to the state by
increasing it's poverty stricken class.
More than this must inevitably lead
to national deterioration.

being succeeded by a falling barometer
caused by a disturbance over the west

Fair weather with low temperatures
