SAN FRANCISCO. December 3o.-The
San Francisco chamber OF commerce has
forwarded to Washington a protest
against any action by Congress that may
tend % lower the tariff on foreign cane

endanger the trade in California.

Knife Cuts Both Ways.

IT is a two-bladed knife-this railroad
regulation-and it cuts both ways. When
the hurt begins to be felt. as ii surely
will be as times improve, the people who
are behind the politicians will be obliged
to move for the relief of railroads and
for their own protection y change of
sentiment is already being strongly felt
i'm that general direction and is reflected
in the editorial expressions of the news
papers of the country.
There is pause in the conversational and
publicity efforts to boost the anthracite
coal road stocks. They have been ener-
getically doomed on gossip about dis
tribution OF hidden assets, segregation of
coal lands and all that sort of thing

THE YEARS RECORD.

iAt year just CLOSED was one or reason
able activity for a year in which great
economic issues were the subject Of con-
troversy at home and a revolution In
China, war between Italy and Turkey,
and dispute over Morocco that involved
France, Germany and England combined
TO unsettle the International money mar
kets. says r. G. Dun & Co. in their an
nual review of trade. 1t was a year in
which the inland trade In volume was of
more than fair proportions, and the for
eign commerce notably larger than in
any preceding year.
Measured by bank clearings and rail-
road earnings, 1911 was under that of
, 1915, yet the reduction was 80 Slight as
TO Indicate no pronounced loss Of ground.
Business fairly held its own. The trans
-actiops were indeed Of such proportions
as to show that on the whole, the Amer
lear people were living well.
Consumption was not equal to produc-
:. tive capacity, and in some instances was
far below IL, and yet labor was well en-
plants come from invested capital, to
the effect that existing uncertainties
made IL impossible to enter into large
new enterprises. Nevertheless, dividend
and interest payments during the year
make an aggregate in excess of other
years.
Enormous Cotton Crop.
The most notable event of 1911, from
the standpoint Of national welfare, was
the enormous cotton crop believed to ex-
coed 15.OOO.OOO bales; the benefcent eff
feet of this can scarcely be overestimat-
ed. Already the magnitude Of the crop is
serving to bring about more normal con-
ditions in the long depressed cotton goods
trade. which is now manifesting many
signs of revival. The grain crops did
not redeem the bright promise of early
summer and were reduced In quantity,
but were of greater value than In 1910.
TIE sudden revival In the iron and steel
frasle in the last three months OF the year
.0vershadows in Importance the preceding
depression, especially as it was brought
.about by the significant buying Of rails
and equipment by leading railroads. There
$was also a late but pronounced improve
tment in copper.
:, The foreign trade was of remarkable
dimensions, and especially notable for
the growth of exports. DUE in no small
part. to the more intelligent and persistent
pursuit Of foreign markets by manufac-
turers and merchants: this contributed
nightly to the strength Of the United
States in the International money mar
kets- There was reduction in aggre-
gate liabilities OF defaulting concerns. This
demonstrated that the position was sound
lin spite of changes brought about by new
.eonditionS. 1t Is noteworthy that the last
sfhree months were the best of the year-a
proof of improving conditions-the pro-
~gressive betterment being the best promise
for the new year.

The penalty for corrupt practice,
which means the violation of any pro-
vision of the law, is severe. For a

ment. The fine is to be from 500 to
$500 and the Imprisonment not to ex-
oeed six months. Or both the fine
and imprisonment can be imposed.
The Kimble law is the result of the
revelations of vote-buying in Adams
county, where hundreds were dis
franchised by Judge A. u. Blair. The
law is introduced by the representa-
tive in the general assembly from
Adams county, Mr.. Kimble.
In addition to the restrictions as to
campaign expenses and the like, the
law goes lurtheT and prevents en-
ployers or others from using any in
huence of any sort to control the
votes of those in their employ The
law prevents the use of force, vic
lence or threats of damage, harm oil
loss or the practice of intimidation In
any manner. The law would thus pre-
vent a shop manager or employer
from making even vague threat
against any of his employees who
might fail to vote as he directed. Fur
ther, the law prevents the employer
from placing any political motto, de
| vice or argument, containing even al
implied threat, on the pay envelopes
of his employees. An employer, un
der the new law, can not even post |
handbill or placard to the effect tina
If any election does not result In {
particu,7T way, there will be partia
suspension o. business or decrease IL
wages. An employer making such
statement even verbally would be
amendable to the new law and nigh
be sent to Jail for six months.
This provision of the law is intend
ed to correct an abuse that has bee
rampant in past years, and that ha
been used flagrantly and more or les
effectively in every presidential can
paign.
