Furnishing rarIn Robbers.

Even the men trained in the service

this class OF corporations. For in.
stance. Judge James B. Dill, OF the
New York Appellate Court, has been
telling some interesting truths about
trusts. Before his elevation to the

yer In America.
When Judge Dill. therefore, points
out the danger to American consumers
OF allowing certain classes of trusts to
get the upper hand we may be sure he
speaks with exact knowledge. He Of
fers no Utopian plans OF reform. He
simply says. Hold the trust magnates
personally responsible" When Judge
Dill says that the growing laxity in
business morals is directly traceable to
criminal trusts. and that the only way
to check the evil is to visit the laws
penalties personally on the directors
instead of merely filming the corpora
ton, he gives both warning and ad-
vice.
Yet he might have said more. He
might have pointed out that the crime
of all crimes, in connection with trust
manipulation. is the robber tariff that
enriches private stockholders Of trusts
under. the forms Of law. Because, IN
this case, we have the United States
government aiding and abetting, as
in the Aldrich-Taft tariff schedules,
these direct thefts from the pockets u
American consumers And the real
battle Of to-day is to take away the
power Of these trust manipulators to
control Congress. The robber trusts
do not fear fines. but they do fear an

1t is said that when the first Chinese
entered California the Indians were
very curious about them. A dispute
arose among some Of them as to what
country the strangers might hail from
and whether or not they were Indians
The Indians decided to apply the wa
ter test. One day a party Of Indians
met party Of Cinnamon approaching
little stream. The strangers up
preached the bridge and started
across. The Indians. too. fled across
and. meeting the Cinnamon In mid
stream. pushed two of them into the
angry, spooming current below. The
test was conclusive. They could not
swim. They were not Indians.

Senator Aldrich's trade war with
Canada is the elimination Of series
OF deliberate affronts to Canadians by
the high-tariff clique of Washington.
Sir John Macdonald's famous ma
tional policy on which he returned
to: power in 1878 and thereafter ruled
Canada until the early nineties, was
the direct result of "standpatism'' by
United States tariff barons.
Macdonald's predecessor, Alexander
Mackenzie, bombarded Washington
fruitlessly for even slight reciprocal
trade relations. Eastern mill bosses
and their lumber barons would not
yield, and their influence at Wash
ington kept Canada out in the cold
Therefore Macdonald began in 1873
to make Canada Independent, as far
as possible, of the United States In
trade matters. Canada's economic in
dependence got slow start, but has
grown apace.
Even up to ten years ago Canada's
statesmen were ready for the renewal
Of a reciprocity treaty with the
United States. But, as they gradually
learned that United States tariff
barons had absolute control of Con-
gress, they dropped the idea. They
began building up other foreign mar
kets, and gave Great Britain, the
mother country, preferential tariff
agreement.

To ascertain to what extent the In.
crease in our purchases abroad may
be due to the new tariff would require
exhaustive analysis, but the conclu-
sion that the decrease in our sales of
agricultural products is due to the
high prices of those products is ire
sistible. We are consuming more of
these products at home than formerly.
We hence have less to sell abroad than
formerly. The prices of those products
are advancing all over the world, but
there are agricultural countries where
prices are not yet as high as they are
here and the purchasers of the world
are~buying in the cheapest markets.
Nothing alarming is disclosed by the
condition. Our exports of nonagricul-
tural products are Increasing. The in
crease in those products alone for Fab
ruary was almost enough to Offset the
decrease in farm products. If it had
not been for an increase in our i'm
ports this increase in nonsgricultural
products would have been enough to
leave the balance of trade in our ia
yor not far from the February normal.
The significant feature of the condi-
ton is that we seem to have reached
a time when, pending the introduction
Of more intensive system Of cultiva-
ton or some other change, agricultur-
al products will continue to constitute
an ever lessening and nonagricultural
products an ever increasing proportion
of our total export trade.-St. Louis
Republic.

Export. and the ship subsidy.

EXPORTS ana the snip Subsidy.
In February, 1908. exports from the
United States exceeded imports into
the United States by $515,0OO,OO0; in
February, 1909, the excess of exports
over imports had fallen to ,o00,-
900; in February. 1910, exports exceed
ed imports by only s1s9,0oo,000.
The demand for American ships to
carry American goods to foreign mar
kets is founded on absurdity and pro-
ceeds from self-interest.
England, Germany and France, our
greatest commercial competitors, are
steadily developing foreign markets by
sensible trade methods. The United
States, by putting premium on man,l-
featuring for home consumption, de-
liberately retards the development Of
export business.

TRUSTEES PASS ON
 SCHOOLHOUSE PLANS Conditional Aeceptane of the Set Submitted by Creighton and
 Albright.

Pursuant to the plan of the trustees of school district No. 1, outlined to the mass meeting of voters some time ago and endorsed by them. and the usual advertising, the trustees on January received plans from vari- ous architects for the construction of the school building proposed to be erected on the Pemberton property on west Adams street. As has been wide ly published. the trustees expect to erect on that site a modern sanitary building for grammar school purposes to cost approximately s70.o00. That there will not be a scarcity of archi- itects for the work was demonstrated when sixteen different persons and firms presented plans for considera- tion. The plans have been under care- full consideration since the Sd, and those of Messrs. Creighton and AL bright have been tentatively accepted.
 Those who submitted plans were: l.. c. Knipe of Phoenix. J. C. Pool of Santa Barbara. Cumming & Weymouth of Oakland, R. NJ Woolpert of Alhambra, Cal. J. C. Austin of Los Angeles, w. J. Bliesner of Phoenix. A. W. Angel of Los Angeles. Charles Benjamin Tut tie of Wichita, Creighton and Albright of Phoenix and Los Angeles respec- lively. Hotchkiss and Harris of Peoria, H.. w. s. Elliott of Prescott. Eli s. Blout of Tucson, Leonard l.. Jones of San Francisco and Benjamin Scholes of Long Beach, Cal.
 nf ha f,,Irr factory, although many of them were indicative of very desirable school buildings. Practically all of the plans were for structures of two stories and basement. though one or two only pro- vided basement area for heating plant and similar purposes. Some were well planned for school purposes but objectionable on account of outward features. and others vice versa. Some were quite desirable. but the board satisfied itself that the accompanying estimates were entirely too low; that is. that the buildings could not be erected in accordance with the plans for the amount of money available The estimates submitted ran from $5S.0000 to s7s.000. but the board. after due conference. came to the conclu- sion that in several instances the esti- mates were too low.
 The board finally decided that all things considered, the plans submitted by Creighton were the nearest to it's ideas of cost. facilities and architec- ture, and designated that set as sort of preliminary survey" of what is wanted MT. Creighton was told that the plans would be accepted con-. ditiOnally: that if Mir. Albright would come here and confer with the board, learn the features it wanted changed and submit q set of plans modified to suit their ideas. the board would then accept the newer plans.
