FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

The librarian is proposed for an in
crease from s., 500 to $4,000.
1.-The trustees says a note explaining
| this recommendation, have for several
years been recommending that the salary
| of the librarian be increased to $4,000.
| This sum is required to make the salary
commensurate with the services rendered
and to put 1t on par with the salaries
| raid to the chief librarians of other mu-
nicipal Libraries of equal rank
In urging an increase for the assistant
| librarian from 81 500 to $1,000 the trus-
tees note that by reason of the made
quacy of the present salary. twice within
two years recently, the library has lost
its assistant librarian. Such frequent
changes should be avoided
The chief of the circulation department
is suggested for an increase form 81, 100
to 81, 100, and it is urged that there be
chief of the order and accessions divi-
sion at 81 1000. and chief of the indus
trial division at the same annual COM
pensation.
1t is also recommended that the position
of chief of the catalogue division be
created at $1,000 per year.
THE volume and grade of work that
Is being done, a note explains, require
an officer of high technical skill and
good administrative ability to cope with
it. At least fifteen, cataloguers holding
subordinate positions in local libraries
receive as much as or more than the estf-
mated salary.
A legislative Limitation suggested in con-
nection with the library estimates would
authorize the Commissioners to enter into
contracts for binding books for the Public
Library for three-year periods, subject
to annual appropriations by Congress.
Contingent and Miscellaneous Ex-
penses.
Under this head $4,000 is asked for the
maintenance of the Takoma branch Ii
brary and all expenses.
This appropriation says a footnote,
was carried in the deficiency bill 1t is
sufficient only to open the branch for
seven and one-half months. The terms
Of the Carnegie gift require a minimum
annual maintenance of 10 per cent of the
cost of the building, $4,000. Even the
estimated sum will probably not be suf-
ficient to keep the branch open full hours.
Better results can be secured by not sub
dividing the appropriation for main
tenance'
Increase in Postage Allowance.
1t is urged that the postage for strict
~ official mail matter of the District gov
eminent be increased from $4,000 to

markets is decreased from $1,000 to

! for second elective term. At Presidential
primaries the voters would be called on to

election in my state indicates that the

Maryland send Taft delegates to the

Captain Harry New, national com

ing:
The Indiana delegation will be in

Howard Taft. There is, in my judg-

comes TO the election there will be d
Aght, but President Taft will be the
strongest candidate the Republicans
could name, and ! believe he will re-
ceive the electoral vote Of Indiana. We
are used to hard fights In my state. and

There is still considerable time before
the convention. and President TAFT IS
getting stronger every day. II viii be

he is the only man who cam carry that

TARIFF FIGHT IN CANADA
Laurier to Propose Increase in
British Preference Rates.
CABINET WILL OPPOSE IT
Borden Government to Close I'm
migration Offices in the
United States.
rBy Telegraph 30 The Tribune

Ottawa, Dec l0.-Canada's biggest tariff
fight is scheduled for the reassembling of
Parliament on January 10. It was learned
to-day that Sir Wilfrid Laurler's plans for
the rest Of the session included a few things
which promise TO make the session one OF
the most brilliant and spectacular ever wit
ressed.
Mr. Dordcn's recent assertions to United
States audiences that reciprocity was dead
and that he had its scalp dangling at Lis
side have not been relshed by Sir Wilfrid
and his followers, who firmly believe that
the defeat Of reciprocity was not due TO a
discussion Of the question on its merits but
rather was due TO appeals 10 ant-American
prejudice and 20 appeals 10 imperialistic
end pro- British sentiment.
It is learned tonight that S.r Wifri1
and his followers propose TO test the gen
uineness of the imperialistc sentiment that
was 50 much I'm evidence I'm the recent cam
paign by proposing In the House Of Com
mons an increase of the present British
preference tariff Of % 1-3 per cent 10 70
per cent or 75 per cent. This will be op-
posed by tho Borden government and by
al the protectionists in Parliament. At
the same time the Opposition will oppose
: Mr. Borden's resolution for permanent
tariff commission.
This resolution will be introduced by the
Prime Minister almost Immediately after
Parliament reassemblcs. The proposition
has TO so through the preliminary resolu-
ton stage In the committee Of the whole
house before tho bill itself is introduced
and. the House OF Commons having no
closure rule, the opposition VIII have an
unlimited field for the discussion OF the
whole tariff question and Of reciprocity,
too. 1t IS the purpose OF tho Opposition IL
precipitate the greatest tariff discussion the
Canadian Parliament has ever seen.
The purposo of this plan IL to bring up
the whole tariff question, 10 keep reci-
/ procity alive in the Vest and to give real
! imperialists a chance 20 get into the Lib
! eral party. The Opposition asserts that II
| Is solid for the increase In the preference
and that many OF Mr.. Borden'3 followers
are ready 70 Join with them q s soon as he
definitely announces that hts EiGh protec-
ZIONIST leanincs viii prevent him from IN
I Gorslng increasing tho British preference.
The government has decided to reyolu-
tionize Canada's immigration policy BY
closing up its agencies in the United states
and ceasing its advertising activities In
! that country Tho Boston Immigration
Office IS to be the first TO 90. The offices
/ IN Syracuse and in the Western cities will
! also be closed up soon.
| Government officials say that this oCes
not mean that Canada does not want
American settlers. but that they will here
after concentrate government activities in
tie immigration field 10 Great Britain.
