GENERAL BUSINESS
WILL NOT SUFFER
Democrats Not to "Run Amuck" on
Tariff lssue-conmon Sense
Is to Rule.

Washington. Democratic lead
ers in the senate and house are
emphatic in the statement that the
party in the extra session viii not
make a general attack upon the pres
ent tariff. but will eonfine their labors
to the reciprocity question and few
schedules that involve trust" prod
ucts."
Senator Owen, the new leader Of
the progressive Democracy in the up
per house; Senators Bacon and Over
man, and Champ Clark, who is to be
speaker, have declared that sanity
and common sense will be the rule Of
action of their party.
According TO the program these
representative men have talked over
the reciprocity agreement is to be
ratified and those schedules that in
yolve monopoly controlled products
and the necessities OF life VIII be re-
vised. The remainder OF the sched-
ules will be left for the regular ses-
sion There will be no wholesale
revision and no upsetting OK business
generally. While the reciprocity
agreement is under way in the senate
the house committee will work out
its scheme of revision regarding wool
and cotton, wooden and cotton goods.
-four dressed meats and other neces-
saries Of life and probably agricul-
tural implements.
The farmer is not to be overlooked.
Whatever action the Democrats may
take It will compensate the farmer
for the free admission of agricultural
products from Canada and remove
from his shoulders the burden of car
rylng the entire load Of tariff taxa
ton. In return for free farm prod
ucts from Canada the farmer is to
be given either free or at greatly re-
duced rates the articles he consumes
and the implements with which he
raises his crops.
The general business interests will
not suffer. unless It be the agricul-
tural implement trust. With this kind
of a program before them the respon.
sible leaders believe the extra ses-
sion can be limited tn about three
months

May Block Appropriation.

University appropriation bills in the
legislature may encounter a stumbling
block In the attitude of the university
college of agriculture toward pending
legislation on the tuberculin test for
cattle. Some farmer members of the.
assembly and senate threaten to vote
against increased appropriations for
the institution unless the university
withdraws its opposition to bills pro-
viding for a repeal of the test law.
Farmers throughout the state are
pouring into the legislature petitions
praying for the repeal of the tubercu-
lin test law enacted at the 1909 ses-
sion. Already more than a hundred of
such petitions have been received,
bearing the names of thousands.
Legislators representing rural COM
munities hold the agricultural college
responsible for the condemnation of
cattle not afflicted with tuberculosis.
E. D. Parkinson, assemblyman from
Lafayette county, declared:
If the university persists in its at
tempts to force the tuberculin test
upon the farmers for another two-year
period It will not have my vote for the
increased appropriations which it asks.
The farmers won't stand for the tuber-
culin test, at least when administered
by incompetent students. 1t is unfair"

UNFOLDING THE AMERICAN HEN.

There can be no doubt that the hen
deserves all the fame she has received,
and all the good newspaper space that
Is allotted her Whatever concerns
the American hen concerns the great
American public. The other day the
United States court of customs ap
peals, sort of glorified legal lezi
con, decided that bird" was not
definition for hen" In short that
hen is not a bird, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer The hen has feathers,
II flies, it sings. but 1t mustn't be
classified with canarles. wrens, spar
rows and tomtits. OF course. this de
cision wasn't drawn out by any chance
seeker for knowledge. 1t was the re
suit Of an important official appeal.
Eggs imported from China-N hich diff
fer materially from china eggs-are
usually broken out Of the shell and
frozen. The customs officials declared
that these eggs entered into competi-
ton with those of the American hen,
and assessed a duty on them OF five
cents dozen. The importers insisted
that the eggs were entitled to admis-
sion free as birds eggs, in accordance
with a certain section Of the tariff.
They also contended that the eggs
were albumen and only dutiable as
such. But when the question reached
the five judges Of the court of appeals
they nobly took the side OF the Ameri-
can hen. declaring that the oriental
product was a competitor, that hens
eggs are not birds eggs, and that the
duty levied by the customs officers
should stand
