summer into the methods pursued by
other governments with reference to
the fixing of tariffs and the determin-
alton of their effect upon trade, show
that each government maintains an
office or bureau, the officers and en-
pToyes of which have made their life
work the study of tariff matters, OF
foreign and home prices and cost of
articles imported, and the effect of
the tariff upon trade, so that whenever
change is thought to be necessary
in the tariff law this office is the
source of the most reliable informa-
ton as to the propriety of the change
and its effect. am strongly con-
WINGED that we need in this govern
ment just such an Office, and that it
can be secured by making the tariff
board already appointed permanent
tariff commission, with such duties,
powers, and emoluments as it may
seem wise to congress to give. 1t has
been proposed to enlarge the board
from three to five. The present num-
Der is convenient, but l do not know
that an increase of two members
would be Objectionable.
Whether or not the protective policy
is to be continued, and the degree Of
protection to be accorded to our home
industries, are questions which the
people must decide through their cho-
sen representatives; but whatever po-
Icy is adoptd, it is clear that the ne
cessary legislation should be based on
an impartial, through and continuous
study of the facts.

yards more than double the number,
and there are several of these ship
yards extensively equipped with mo-

ton the secretary of the navy believes.
to be entirely useless for naval pur-
poses. He asks authority to abandon
certain of them and to move their ma
chinery to other places where 1t can
be made of use.
The secretary points out that the
most important naval base in the West
Indies is Guantanamo, in the south
eastern part of Cuba Its, geographical
situation is admirably adapted to pro.
tect the commercial paths to the Pana-
mac anal and he shows that by the
expenditure of less than half million
dollars, with the machinery which he
shall take from other navy yards, he
can create a naval station at Guam
tanamo of sufficient size and equip
ment to serve the purpose of an emer-
gency naval base. I earnestly join
in the recommendation that he be CIV

mendation that an appropriation be
made to construct suitable crypt at

1t has always been the policy Of the
Electric Light company to enlarge and
improve the plant instead of attempt
ing to pay dividends. This is decided
ly good thing for the consumer who

The Electric Light Plant has never
paid a dividend, although the Electric
Light. Ice & Power company mas paid
cash dividends on the following occas-
ions during the ten years of its oper.
ations: In 1905, per cent dividend.
in 1907, 10 per cent dividend; in 1905,
per cent; in 1909, 5 per cent; an av-
erage of 21s per cent per annum.
But it must be borne in mind that
these dividends were paid wholly out
of the proceeds OF the ice plant and
that the light plant, instead of paying
any surplus. has absorbed most Of the
earnings of the ice plant

crowds attend every service. and enter
into the song service in an enthusias-

these children sing would put life
and yigor into the coldest heart. Bro.

the memory remains there still, and
hard indeed, must be the heart of any
man or woman who can not be touch

as they are made each evening by
Evangelist Phillips. Bro. Cameron
