GRAVE POINT RAISED.
Bill to Repeal Reciprocity Act
Claimed to Be Unconstitutional.

grave constitutional question has
been raised in connection with the
action of the Senate finance committee
in recommending the McCumber bill
for the repeal of the reciprocity bill.
1t is claimed to be in violation of a
clause in the Constitution, which pro-
vides that all bills affecting the revenue
are to originate in the House. The
reciprocity bill is considered a revenue
measure, and a bill repeating 1t, 1T is
argued. is a revenue measure.
Not great deal Of attention is be-
ing given the question, however, for
many of the leaders predict that the
repeating bill will not get through
Congress, certainly not. through the
House.

WALL STREET AS A SOCIAL CLUB.

The defense that the New York Stock Exchange
is to make this week before the house banking and
currency committee is to be the same as that which
was successfully used before the Hughes commit
tee three years ago.
In that case many powerful reasons were urged
against incorporation, but every one OF them ig-
nored public rights. The virtues of voluntary as
ISOLATION were duly explained, but it was notec'
able tina, they all redounded to the benefit OF the
exchange and its members and were not neces-
sarly of value to the people.
The organization of private clubs is admirable
for the purposes of private clubs, When a pm
vate club buys and sells every year for specuIa-
tive purposes thousands Of millions OF property
which il does not own. and when by its control
over the banks it is able at times to lock up in
its own CANDLES most OF the peoples money, IN

NEW VERB SUGGESTED.

One feels that a new verb should be added to
English. to blease. Then only will it be pos
sible to keep pace with the daily activities OF the
governor of South Carolina. AT the same time it
would effect enormous economies in time, in print
ers ink. and in temper.
To blease' would mean doing a great num-
Der OF obnoxious things at the same time or in
quick succession, as. for instance, invoking the
sacred name of the law and the starry flag in one
breath and melting to murder in the next; exalt-
ing the chivalry OF southern manhood as exerted
in the defense Of women's honor, and sending
women shamefaced out of the room by the foul
ness of ones language uttering loud cries in de-
tense of the misunderstood, mistreated southland.
and making other southern governors writhe in
their seats in disgust.
To please is a vertable treasure house of
anomatopeia. 1t Immediately suggests a host of
other expressive verbs; to blow. to bleat, to
scream. to wheeze, to blab. 1t is adapted emf
nently to describe the act of raising clouds OF dust,
getting red in the face, threatening to have a mans
life. defying heaven. the lightning, and the dis
pensary laws of ones state.
To the press associations the verb would
bring untold savings. Instead OF sending out col
umn dispatches, a newspaper correspondent would
merely have to wire, He bleases again. New
York Post.

COOPERATING WITH MOTHER NATURE

The first prize farmer Of Texas is Charles A.
Doss. Of Roekdale. Texas Mr. Doss made a net
profit of 1905 81 on ten acres Of land which was
reward enough in itself without the thousand dol
lar prize from the Texas Industrial Congress.
Mr. Doss' achievement should be given the wild
est publicity among Texas farmers for IT shows what
book larnin' " can do in aiding the planter. Far
mer Doss accepted the advice. from time to time,
of the Texas Industrial Congress, which distributed
free booklets to all the contestants. He grew his
crops on bottom land and used no commercial fer
tilizer. Doss kept on the culture methods and
adhered to the policy Of Intensified farming. His
reward was greater from those ten acres than many
planters who put fifty acres in cotton and give their
crops the usual haphazard cultivation.
All the entrants in the Texas Industrial Con-
gress could not win first prize but many OF them al
most eaualed Mr.. Doss' enviable record. Their
showings in crop raising prove that the Doss victory
was not an incident. an unusual achievement which
cannot be accepted as a yearly possibility. Scores
have demonstrated that all Mother Nature needs IS
lust a little encouragement, intelligent cooperation
and industry on the part of the farmer to produce
crops that will set much higher standards of aver
age yields.

MAKING A CITY CHARTER.

The work of drafting a city charter ought TO be
preceded by a thorough and careful study, not only
of povisions in the charters of other cities, but of
actual conditions in the particular municipality with
ter provisions that will fat readily the needs OF all
cities. or even OF cities that specifically appear TO
be alike IN Their requirements. All this ought to
be commonplace, but IN practice 1t is almost every
where disregarded Charters are drafted TO elab-
crate this or that set OF principles, and frequently
by men who have had no experience IN municipal
affairs whatever More often than not, the franz
ers fail to equip themselves for effective work by
any study of the city's actual problems. 1t would
be far better for our cities II every charter drafting
body would follow the example OF the Boston f.
nance committee, and devote a year to a relentless
probe of every branch of city government before
beginning its constructive work. As a rule too
much time and energy are spent in framing the po-
litical provisions OF a charter, the sections relating
to the methods of nomination, the machinery OF
election. the organization OF the council. and the
general powers OF the mayor. Not enough attention
is bestowed upon the administrative and the busi-
ness provisions, those which deal with the methods
OF making appropriations, with the safeguards
against extravaganza. the restriction of the city $
borrowing powers, the system Of municipal account
ing, the organization of the administrative depart
ments, the methods OF selecting subordinate off
GERS, the distribution OF official duties. and the re-
lations OF the municipality to public service corpor-
atoms. These are the most difficult provisions to
frame properly; the proper consideration OF them
requires a thorough grasp OF local conditions, and
upon the amount OF careful attention which they
receive, the successful working Of the charter will
largely depend.
AS to phraseology. the everyday rules that
ought to find observance in the framing OF ordi
nary statutes need to be scrupiously observed in
the drafting Of corporate charters. The meaning
OF a provision is too often hidden in a mass of
legal verbisge which seems to have for its aim the
violation Of every rule of English composition. This
Amarillo daily news. [volume] (Amarillo, Tex.) 19??-current, 1912-12-18

i. because charter makers usually copy. so far as
possible, the phraseology Of something already
upon the statute book, which has. in turn, borrowed
the language Of something that went before. An
avoidance Of all technical terms, the use Of short
sentences. and the policy Of saying no more than is
necessary to render a provision Ineligible would
make charters less forbidding In length and more
Ineligible to ordinary citizens.-From The Gov
eminent Of American Cities, by Prof William
Bennett Munro Of Harvard University.

NOTICE TO OTHER nations
Resolution Giving a Broader Scope to
the Monroe Doctrine Now
Before the Senate

Washington, Aug. 3.-Before the
Senate had proceeded far yesterday
with the Magdalena bay resolution.
the discussion began to touch so close
to government secrets that the doors
Of the Senate chamber were closed and
consideration went on in executive
session, Senator Lodge calling up the
resolution framed to record the dis
approval with which the United States
would regard the acquisition of any
property by foreign interests on the
western hemisphere, which might
eventually become military or naval
basis, and declared it's message was
in the interest of peace.
THE committee on foreign relations
believed it was that the United States
should make its position known and
should not let situation arise where
it might be necessary to urge upon a
friendly nation TO withdraw when that
nation could not do so without hu-
initiation" said Senator lodge He
said this was merely a statement of
policy Ito make clear the position this
nation will take under such circum-
stances.

ATTACKING THE OCTOPUS
Men and Methods Of the Steel Trust
Scored In the House Committees
Report

Washington, Aug. 3.-The report of
the majority of the committee of the
House of Representatives directed
more than a year ago to investigate
the United States Steel Corporation
was submitted to the House yesterday
by Representative Stanley of Ken
lucky, chairman of the committee.
The report of the majority deals with
the steel trust from its inception and
describes the various steps by which
J. +. Morgan and his associates built
up the corporation. In addition to
recommendations for legislation sug-
gested as remedial. the democratic
members of the committee make gen.
eral accusations against the men re-
sponsible for the organization.
]. T. Morgan and his associates are
held up as being the beneficiaries of
enormous profits realized from the
cver-capitalization of the subsidiary
companies of the steel corporation and
later of the corporation itself.
Judge E. II. Gary and his dinners to
steel manufacturers are credited with
a scheme by which prices and territory
were controlled by the steel trust
after pooling agreements were dis
carded.
Former President Roosevelt is in
dicted for making the control of the
steel trust absolute and is charged
with being responsible for the gigantic
stature which the trust has attained.
The United States Steel Corporation
Is flayed as an enemy of organized la
Dor, accused of lowering the sociolog-
ical conditions of its employees and of
contributing to American industry
workmen and work methods un-
American and foreign to the best in
terests of labor.
Principal stockholders of the steel
corporation are accused of eXerting a
powerful and injurious influence on
the business of the United States by
means of control exercised through in
terlocking directorates of railway and
industrial organizations.
The activity of the corporation in
politics is laid bare and its influence
described, and the steel trust" as a
Tariff beneficiary and it's part in the
making of the Payne-Aldrich tariff act
are touched upon by the democrats.
