WASHINGTON. Feb. 3-Caucus rule

FOES o. RECIPROCITY.
canadian Manufacturers Bring Up Most
Favored Nation Treaties.

OTTAWA. Feb. 3.-The Canadian Manu-
facturers Association issued an anti
reciprocity manifesto to-day in which it
is set forth that under the most favord
nation treaties made by Great Britain
Canada must grant the same tariff con-
cessons to these nations rs will he granted
to the United States IL the reciprocity
agreement be enacted into law. These
nations are the Argentine Republic,
Austria. Bolivia. Colombia. Denmark.
Japan. Norway. Russia. Spain. Sweden.
Switzerland and Venezuela. The manu-
facturers say that the agreement will
work out as follows. taking into account
also the Franco Canadian treaty:
Butter the product Of the United Kind
dom, Australia. Denmark or the United
States when imported from those coun-
tries will be free.
Beans the product Of the United King
dom, Austria. Hungary. Japan or the
United States when imported from those
countries will be free. but II imported
from France will be subject to duty at rs

and cooked corn. we're imported into

Importations Of the articles named
in the agreement have been principally
from the United States and therefore the
British preferential tariff has not been
seriously affected
The conservative caucus was in session
again to-day. but did not agree upon
concerted action. The resolutions offered
by the Minister of Finance will be adopted
by practically "a party vote. after which
the Minister of Finance will Introduce a
bill in the House of Commons amending
the customs act. This bill must under the
rules of Parliament he considered sched-
ule by schedule and in this process mem
bers on either side OF the House may and
doubtless will support certain schedules
and vote against others according to the
interests OF their various constituencies,
but with the result of carrying through
the entire proposition with little better
than the normal Government majority.

VS.. Judgment.
Berea College. Defendant.
In this proceeding certain proper
ties of Berca College are sought To
be assessed for purposes OF taxation.
The defendant claims an exemption
under Section 40 OF the Constitution
which specifies what properties shall
be exempt. and uses this language:
institutions OF purely public
charity and institutions Of educa-
ton not used or employed for
gain by any person or corpora
ton, and the income Of which
is devoted solely TO the cause OF
education"
The state comedies that Berea Col
lege is such an educational institu-
tion as that provision contemplatcs
and no contention 10 made that It's
buildings. grounds and other general
property should be taxed. but. at the
hearing OF this case. the state urS-
ed that certain properties, dcsignat-
ed by President Frost as utility ad-
iuncts, should be taxed because the
defendant. In the use OF those ad-
,uncts. is conducting lines OF busi-
ness which are not educational or
necessary to educational work. anil
thereby compctes with individuals
Who do pay taxes on like properties.
The only adjuncts which the repre-
sentatives OF the state. at the hear
ing. seriously insisted should be
taxed are the Water Plant. Boone
Tavern. the Laundry. the Printing
Plant. and the Store. The exact con-
Rection Of each OF these with Berea

Ia shown by the testimony OF. Presi-
dent Frost. the only evidence pre-
sented, and transcript OF that Is

gent necessity. and the sales Of wa

Works.
The Laundry Is educational and
