OFFERS AND BIDS.
BUTTER AND CREAM DUTIES.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some inequalities must inevitably
exist in any tariff system designed 70
meet the requirements of large and d.
versely interested country such as this
but one recently brought to public atten-
tion is so manifestly unjust TO a large
class and so manifestly ridiculous IN It's
results that it merits special attentions
The makers Of the tariff certainly did
not contemplate such an inequality In 1ts
operation. and probably none OF them
We're expert enough in that particular line
to realize what an incongruity they had
incorporated into the law. A dairyman in
Northern New York brings out the point
as follows:
The duty on butter and cheese is six
cents a pound. The duty on cream is hye
cents gallon. gallon OF arnn cream Weisns ara75
cent. Canadian cream is being shipped In.
running from so to 81 per cent lat, guar
anteed not TO be below 80 per cent
gallon of 50 per cent cream contains 424
pounds of butter. with a % per cent over
run This will mean 517 pounds Of but
shipped in the form OF cream, less than
one cent a pound
From the Atlantic TO the Pacific. all
along the border. cream is being shipped
into the United States. and this dairy
man predicts that IN another year. IL this
state of affairs continues. we shall be
Hooded with Canadian butter. The mat
ter has been brought to the attention OF
the Treasury Department but, Of course.
Congress only can make the necessary
change Whether even with the competi-
tion OF Canadian butter the price in this
country would still be high enough to give
American dairymen a good profit. and the
tariff on butter should be lowered 10
equalize II with that now levied on cream,
whether the tariff on cream should be
made six times that which now applies,
is a question for the tariff experts them
selves to determine, but certainly the
present arrangement is ridiculous. This
government could hardly contemplate so
much encouragement for shipping cream
into this country to be turned into but
ter and placed on the market almost on
equality with the home product, while
penalizing with six cent duty the irnpor-
tation of the article itself. This hardly
falls within the, scope Of the free raw
material policy. A

were asked and answered In relation
thereto. First of all arose the question
of precedence as between the President
of the Assembly and the v1ceroy Of the
province, which was properly answered
with the reminder that the Assembly
had no imperial functions, but was
purely provincial in its jurisdiction.
In return for this the Assembly
shrewdly declined to undertake any
dealings with the currency system, much
as it recognized the need of reforms, on
the logical ground that that was prop
erly a function of the imperial govern
ment, and that there would be no satis-
factory reform until 1t was undertaken
and executed by the central authority
and thus was made uniform throughout
the empire. Acts were passed prohibiting
the official subsidizing of newspapers
and suppressing lotteries, and calling
for an investigation of opium smoking
and a census of all opium smokers in
the public service. On the whole, 1t
was a profitable session and it gave
promise of permanent efficiency for
these provincial legislatures. Its pro-
ceedings were carefully observed by the
imperial government, not with a view
tc interfering with or hampering its ac-
tivities, but rather to encouraging 1t and
to learning from its experience things
which may be valuable for remembrance
when an imperial parliament Is sum-
moned to meet at Peking. If the man.
ner In which these provincial legislators
acquitted themselves at their first essay
be any criterion, the success Of the con-
stitution in China should be assured.

WATER CONSERVATION AND DIS
TRIRUTION.

The State Water Commission Of New
Jersey has disappointed the city Of
Newark with one of its recent decisions,
but it has enunciated a salutary ana
valuable principle in relation to the con-
servation and distribution of supplies
of potable water which may we'll be
generally maintained in that state and
elsewhere.
The city of Newark wanted to ac-
quire for its own use the important
Wanaque watershed, which would give
it supply sufficient for its needs for
years TO come. The project was hailed
by many with much favor, as prudent
and farseeing. as 1t certainly was. IN
deed it would have been altogether
commendable had no other communities
been concerned. But there were others,
and the commission took account OF
them
1t was held by the commission that
Newark was aiming to acquire supply
far In advance Of her present needs,
that she had no more right to the Wa
naque Valley than other communities
which might need the water from 1t be-
fore she did, and that for Newark thus
TO establish a monopoly Of that region
would be an injustice and might prove
a serious hardship to others. For that
reason it refused to grant Newark's
application for the Wanaque region.
The principle enunciated by the com
mission is that all unappropriated
watersheds should be acquired or con-
trolled by the state, which should con-
serve and protect them and then ap-
portion their supply equitably to those
communities or corporations which
actually need II. That would prevent
a monopolistic corpora ton from acquir-
ing all available supplies and charging
exorbitant rates therefor, or an ambi-
tious city from pre-empting supplies far
i'll excess Of its needs, TO the deprivation
of others.
The commission points out, also, that
such a policy will be Of much pecuniary
profit to the state One water using
corporation some years ago acquired
for 100000 rights and property now
valued at $50, 900, 600. Similarly, the
Wanaque watershed, which could now
be acquired and developed for Sc, ,OO0, 900,
would, if thus used. be paying returns
on twice that capital In few years.
The commission argues that the state
should not give away rights involving
such prospective profits, even to its own
cities, but should retain them and Sc
cure those profits for itself, for the bene-
fit Of all the people. That is a sound
policy, that the natural resources of the
state which are required for public use
shall be conserved by the state for
equitable distribution and for the gen.
eraI profit, and it is probably. as the
commission suggests, the only policy
by which the rights of all can be effect
ually protected.

CHINESE LEGISLATORS AT WORK


Mention was recently made in these
columns of the constitution of provin-
cial assemblies or legislatures in China
as a part of the constitutional reorgani-
zation of that empire and as a preparl-
tory step toward the establishment of q
national parliament. Some skepticisn
had been expressed concerning the prac-
ticality, the value and the permanence
of these assemblies, and there was nat
urally general curiosity to see them at
work and TO see how the Chinese would
conduct themselves as el&tive and rep
resentative lawmakers. This curiosity
has now been gratified, and the result
should confirm the eXpectancv of those
who take optimistic views of the con-
stitutional experiment In China and
who believe that capacity for enlight-
ened government was not necessarily
bestowed by the Creator upon the Cau-
casian race as its exclusive possession.
One Of the most important and char
acteristic of these assemblies was hat
at the ancient imperial capital OF Nan
king. We are told that its first session
was conducted throughout with perfect
decorum and with an earnest and eff
flcient application to business which
might profitably be emulated by parla-
ments of lands which consider them
selves superior to mere "Mongolians."
Speeches were mostly brief and per-
tinent there apparently being no Prov
ince OF Bun-Kum on the map OF China.
Naturally much attention was paid to
considering and defining the sphere OF
the Assembiy's powers and duties, and
more than hundred specific questions

Development has not yet been attained,

OF the worthiest ambitions which can
he cherished by the city as whole or
by Its citizens as individuals. Especially
is that true when regard is had to quail
ity equally with or perhaps more than
mere quantity. New York already leads
all other cities In the amount of in
struction which is given. reckoned by
the number of persons to whom it is
given. 1T should not be satisfied until
1t similarly leads, without dispute, in
the thoroughness and efficiency Of the
instruction which 1t gives.

SUBWAY CROWDfNG.

The killing Of a passenger who was
crowded off the 14th street platform of
the subway calls attention 10 the danger
Of the jam at that and the other most
used express stations. The crowding at
18th street is as bad as if not worse than
the celebrated bridge JAM used to be
before the opening Of the subway and
another bridge TO Brooklyn alleviated it,
And il is more dangerous. In the
bridge jam" all the passengers were
going one way into the train. But on
the express platforms there is the con-
fusion of those entering and leaving, of
those rushing from the express to the
local trains and Of those rushing from
the local 10 the express trains. 1t ap-
pea rs 10 have been this struggle that
forced the unfortunate man upon the
tracks last Saturday.
The situation regarding travel on the
subway is grave because, owing to the
Interborough Rapid Transit Companys
resistance 10 every move tending TO an
Increase In facilities, there is no certain
prospect of relief until year from now,
when the platforms will have been
heightened. The putting in of side doors
in the cars and the extension of the
platforms would have been undertaken
and completed long ago IL the company
had been actuated by an earnest desire
20 afford the public the most ample IA
cuities within It's power
In view Of the situation. il is well
that the Public Service Commission has
begun an inquiry into the question
whether or not as many trains as pos
sible are now being operated during
rush hours. rhe key to the question
seems TO be in the delay at the stations.
