Congress intends to repair at this ses-
sion, as 1t should, the error by which the
Panama Canal bonds whose issue was
authorized by the Payne law were not
made redeemable in gold, and the certifi-
Gates Of Indebtedness also authorized to
be Issued, were not exempted from all
federal. state. municipal and local taxa
ton. The House of Representatives has
passed a bill supplying those guaran-
tees. 1t is an interesting commentary
on the fallibility Of clerical work that
one Of the guarantees was in the Payne
act as it passed both houses and was
accidentally stricken out at the eleventh
hour in the conference committee.

FILIBUSTER AGAINST COST OF
LIVING INQUIRY.

The democratic flibuster against the
Lodge resolution authorizing the ex-
penditure OF $50, 900 for extending the in
vestigation into the cause of the high
cost Of living was continued again to-
day As on previous days of this week.
the flibuster was effective in preventing
action by the Senate on the resolution.
The democrats are holding up The pas
sage Of the resolution, SO that they will
have plenty of opportunity to present
their views on the tariff law as a cause
of the cost OF living. They do not fail to
point out close connection between
them.
After the democrats have lambasted
and pounded the Payne-Aldrich law to
their hearts content, and supplied enough
material for the Congressional Record to
keep democratic campaigns eoing, 1t is
said by republicans they will offer no
ton. or course. they will vote against
Its passage.
1.-The republicans are charged by the
democrats with wanting the 1000 to

furniture, paper and various artlcies oi

been intolerant of foreigners. and nearly
every great disaster. whether 10y famine

to the evil influence of foreigners, whose

feeling among the people has been that
practically every public calamity has been
accompanied by demonstrations against
the foreign population and nearly always
by the destruction Of their residences and

DEFENDS MR.. BALLINGER.
Seattle Bar Association Censures Re-
cent Publication.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 22-The Sc
attle Bar Association at a meeting last
night adopted with but one dissenting
vote resolution condemning the action
of an eastern magazine in publishing an
article containing an attack upon Secre-
tary of the Interior Ballinger. in which
he was referred to as "shyster.''
The article referred to was termed an
''unwarranted and vicious assault upon
the character OF Mr. Ballinger and re-
neotion upon the good name OF the bar
and of the federal courts Of Seattle. The
resolution reviews at great length the
court records in the cases referred to in
the magazine article and the report OF
the special referee in bankruptcy and Of
a previous investigation Of the bar which
exonerated Ballinger.
The resolution also contains renewal
OF the Endorsement of Ballinger and de-
clares that the charges adopted by the
magazine are without any foundation
whatever.
