4 Few Facts TO Show Why the Pend
ing Reciprocity Legislation Should
BE Carried Through-It Would
Open Larger Market for Things
Produced In Our State.

Cotton seed oil will enter Canada
from the United States free OF duty
under the pending reciprocity legisla-
ton. II is at present taxed by Canada
at the rate OF II IL per cent ad va
loren. The value of Canada's conces-
sion of free cotton seed oil may be
measured by the fact that In the
calendar year 1910 we exported to
Canada s1.l11.443 OF cotton seed oil.
on which she collected approximately
sl95, 900 in duties. The concession is
Of interest to North Carolina since
the manufacture OF cotton seed oil.
etc, ranks among her leading half
dozen industries, according to the
United States census Of manufactures
of 1905; which states North Carolins's
output Of the oil at 6,269.062 gallons.
valued at s1,690,s50.
Fresh vegetables and fruits are
made free by Canada under the agree
ment, when imported from the United
States. Her ratio upon potatoes has
been twenty cents per bushel, and
upon most other vegetables thirty per
cent ad valorem. Upon fresh fruits
her general rate has been two cents
per pound, apples being taxed forty
cents per barrel. During the year
ended March 81. 1910. the United
States shipped to Canada fresh fruits
and vegetables aggregating s2,f37,000
in value, which were taxed more than
s500,000 by Canada. The removal OF
al restrictive duties by Canada ca
this class Of importations offe-s a
large opportunity for North Cardinals
early potatoes and garden or orchard
produce. North Carolina produced
81 .49S,0O0 Of potatoes during the
calendar year 1909.
Oysters in any state will be admitted
by Canada free OF duty when from this
country. Heretofore canned oysters
have been taxed three cents per pack
age when In pint tins, and five cents
per package when In guar, tins: and
these rates have been well-nigh pro-
hibitive. North Carolina put up
sl77 900 OF canned oysters in 1905.
Peanuts are 10 enter Canada from
the United States at one-fourth Of the
present duties OF unshelled or at one
third OF the present duties II shelled.
Canada imported about $4,000 Of un-
shelled peanuts from the United
States In the year ended March 81.
1910, and about $4,000 OF shelled pee
nuts. She collected approximately
$4,000 more in duties on this charac-
teristic North Carolina product than
II The pending reciprocity had been
IN force. In place OF two cents per
pound on unshelled peanuts Canada
will levy only one-half cent per
pound. and in place Of three cents per
pound on shelled peanuts she will
levy but one cent per pound.
Farm wagons from the United
States will be admitted into Canada
at reduction Of ten per cent from
her former rate. which was one
fourth OF the value OF the wagon.
During Canadian fiscal year 1910
Canada purchased s21s0OO worth Of
farm wagons from the United States.
North Carolina might compete for a
portion Of this business. inasmuch as
her manufactures OF wagons and car
riages IN 1905 we're valued al

INCREASE IN
| HOUSE D. OPPOSED
Some Who Voted for 4s' Mem
bers Regret Their Action
WANT PRECEDENT BROKEN


Washington, Feb. 16.-Being some
thing OF precedent smasher himself,
Senator LaFollette Is reported ON the
trail Of one more hoary tradition
which some folks think has served its
usefulness.
This is the tradition that the senate
must accept any bill that the house
passes apportioning membership Of
the house. The house has decreed
that the apportionment under the 1910
census shall give the house 433 mem
bers. Many people believe this is too
many. and this belief is shared es-
|pecially by insurgents. who think a
smaller house would be better quail
fed for deliberation and real debate
without giving the speaker or rules
committee too much power.
House Would Reverse Action.
Ordinarily, under the precedents.
the senate would accept any such bill
the house passed. II the house should
decree a membership OF fifty, or a
membership Of $50. It should be per-
mitted by the senate.
But this year some curious influ-
ences have come to bear. The Cannon
organization IN the house favored the
increased membership that would de-
prive no state of any members. The
organization won. but the people who
voted with II we're not all convinced
that they We're doing quite the right
thing.
Now. II is said. some intimations
have been conveyed to the senate
leaders that II they will reduce the
membership to 39l, the house will
probably accept II. Advances have
been made, In fact. with a view 70
getting the senate to reverse the
houses action.
Some OF the leading tradition wor-
shippers In the senate favor this
course. they think the house and
country would be better on II the
house were not allowed to become any
more unwieldy: and they urge. more
over. that II the precedent Is accepted
now. OF reducing no states repre-
sentatIon, It will be harder than ever
TO dislodge ten years hence.
Could Hardly Get Acquainted.
II the house keeps on growing In

bers will have to be elected for ten.

house. He sympathizes with this view
