Concerted action by the farmers of the
State to obtain labor has been suggested
by officials of the State Bureau of Immi.
grafton. Lately it is said, the bureau has
been in receipt of letters from farmers
asking if something could not be done to
assist them in getting labor. and the in
ability of the bureau to respond has caused
the suggestion that the farmers themselves
take some action.
The following letter was sent by John
A. Tschantre, secretary of the bureau, to
S. NJ. Whiteley. Longwoods, Talbot county
Md:
my Dear Sir :-Acknowledeing your fav-
or of October 27, wish to state we are
unable to assist you in securing the de-
sired help, have studied the labor ques-
ton somewhat and realize its seriousness.
| have come to the conclusion something
must be done soon to solve it. In my
opinion the simplest way to solve it is
Either the next Legislature create a labor
bureau or the farmers organize themselves
to this end. The best source from which
to draw farm labor is the agricultural ele-
ment of the world you are aware of this
fact as well as |.
If our farmers should organize, they
must appoint man of integrity. who will
face the obstacles of our contract labor
law and the laws of the States in the old
world intended to prevent solicitation of
emigration, and induce industrious farm
laborers to come to Maryland. This is
done by railroads here and cannot see
why farmers organizations should not be
able to accomplish the same thing. Farm
labor in most of the sections of Europe is
very cheap and the only reason that it
does not appear on our labor market is the
lack of travelling expenses The members
of such a farmers organization must be
willing, therefore, to advance these ex-
penses.
1.-THE farm labOrer across the big pond
is accustomed to hire his services for an
entire year. The average wage paid him
is SIS year. There would be no diff
Guilty to induce him to come here by offer
ing him $3.50 year, with the stipulation
that he return to his employer $50 paid
for his travelling expenses. AS said, the
agent who does this work must be an
honest man. He must investigate the
record of every laborer he brings here.
Although this bureau is under no legal
obligation to furnish labor for our farmers.
we have in the past supplied many farm
ers with help; but have found that men
picked up here in Baltimore were either
unfamiliar with farm work or went to the
country to work there until they found
work again in the city.
Il will keep your application on file and
as soon as | hear of suitable family.
shall communicate with you again"

To Scotch The Hon. VIM. H. Ander.
son By Amending The Corrupt
Practices Act.

Mr.. Editor 1T is to be hoped that the
coming session of the State Legislature
will see the passage of two amendments
to the corrupt practices act which will rem
der impossible two abuses which the past
campaign has shown TO be possible.
The first is an amendment which will
render obligatory upon any organization or
individual who seeks in public way to
influence the election the same public ac-
counting for moneys expended which is
now required of the candidate. II is said
that about $50, 900 was spent by the Anti
Saloon League in its efforts to secure the
election of such candidates as were agree
able to itself. Without raising the ques-
ton as to the integrity of its motives, it
can readily be seen that the same method
can be applied to a most Objectionable
propaganda, and the law should be so
drawn as to render it impossible. Another
amendment should be drawn which would
disqualify from taking his seat any elected
member who can be shown to have made
ante election pledges or binding promises
member.
The Constitution guarantees to the citi-
zens of the State the right of petition. but
the proper time for the exercise of this
constitutional right is during the session
of the General Assembly. Before the or
ganization of this sovereign body a pledge
exacted from the candidate as private
citizen ought not to be held binding either
IN law or good morals upon the actions,
votes or conscience of the properly consti-
tuted public servant such as member of
the General Assembly is. By no stretch
of Interpretation can this growing practice
be regarded as an extention of the right of
petition. 1t is a corrupt practice pure and
simple and it should be brought under the
penalty and disqualification of the law.
Even if there be some scruple about ac-
cepting this general doctrine, there can be
reasonably none. am sure, that the an
nounced program of the Anti-Saloon
League. an irresponsible lobby, to require
from candidates a prediction pledge to
vote at its dictatiOn so as to determine
without legislative conference or debate
important matters of public policy. is de-
cidedy against the principles of constitu-
tional government. 1t certainly abrogates
the constitutional guarantee of the right of
petition. 1t seems quite as clear that if
this promise is made sequent TO proffer
of support in the campaign, il is an at
tempted bribery. and should be made amen
able to the penalty of a comprehensive
corrupt practices act.
1t is true that under the unskilled man
agement Of the leagues superintendent,
Mr.. Anderson. no great harm has resulted
from the practice, but it is not to be sup
posed that all Hobbies will be so stupidity
and incOmpetently Differed.

This activity "is directly traceat,le to. the
,opening Of the Panama Canal, short time
hence, and to the expectation that preferential
rates will be given to American shipping using
the canal Other reasons, however, exist for
this expansion
One rs that the overseas commerce OF the Uni
ted States has been increasing at tremendous
rate 1t is greater this year than it ever has
been. 1t is a rich prize for which the CONNER
cial fleets of England and Germany are con-
stantly contending Also there are great posi-
bilities opening up in other parts Of the globe
With the opening of the Panama Canal prob
ably many hundreds of thousands of immigrants
will be distributed along our Pacific coast The
Encouragement of the trade routes that will fol-
low will mean, of course, greater facilities for
the Interchange of commodities and lessening
in their cost of transportation, as well as de-;
velopment of regions that hitherto have stood
still because they we're comparatively difficult
of access. AS England is the center of the
worlds slip-building, these varied influences
have been felt sooner and in greater degree
than anywhere else
Naturally, the price of new ships has adj.
vanced. Practically everything that enters into
the eohstruetion9of a seagoing vessel costs much
more now than it did three years ago. As a re-
suit foreign vessels today are selling at an adj
vance Of about 20 per cent above the market
values of the early part of 1910. Still another
reason for this is that the ships that are being
built nav, as a .rules are better constructed and
better equipped in mechanical way than yes

rhents are higher, even for cargo boats, and AMI

On an oilburning vessel of 5000
