territory who have eaten the corn in
Houghton declare il To be the finest
they have ever found. 1t appears that
the soil and climate OF the copper
country. particularly on farms close
To Portage Lake are peculiarly adapt
ed TO the development of the best
qualities OF this corn. Ii seems To be
sweeter when grown here than the
same variety produced elsewhere.
Yellow bantam corn has been grown
in Houghton county for only "A few
years. 1t was introduced by q. w,

sweet corn held the highest favor of
epicures but Copper Country Corn is
by the best friends of the
older variety tn be superior
While Manndale farm has promoted
and has developed the market for 1t,
the proprietor of the farm is not de-
sirous Of monopolizing the market and
he urges all farmers along Portage
lake to plant considerable field to
this corn next year and take advan-
tage of it's commercial possibilities.
This corn is ninety-day corn mean
ing that three months elapse between
planting and the development of the
green ears To table quality. Natural
~ the corn is planted later in the
copper country than i'm other sections
and it is ready for use somewhat after
the corn season of other sections have
passed. The ninety days period gives
the copper country ample time To suf-
hciently mature the corn and still
brings il to market at time when
green corn is not procurable in the
older corn sections. Copper country
farmers. at least those of the Portage
lake district, would seem to have here
an opportunity well worth cultivating.

committee tariff taxation for their approval
a form of referendum on the request for perma-
nent tariff commission In the immediate future it
will be submitted to all organization members of the
chamber of commerce of the United States for their
and by the vote the chamber will be hereafter
guided relative to this important subject
The chamber of commerce of the United States at
its first annual meeting unanimously passed
luton calling for the creation of permanent tariff
board commission. The referendum proposes
permanent tariff commission in the following form:
Organization of Commission:
THAT the commission be composed of experts
to be appointed by the president with the advice and
consent of the senate
2-That in order to make the commission an eff
fective administrative body the number of commits
sioners should be limited preferably not than
five
3-That the term of office of members of the COM
mission should be sufficiently long to give the board
stability and permanency, preferably six years. and
the terms of members should expire in rotation in
the interstate commerce commission
4-That a provision should be made for minority
representation in the of the interstate com
merce commission where not more than three of the
five members shall be of party.
Powers of commission
Ito gather investigate, and tabulate technical
and statistical facts of all kinds pertinent to the tar
iff schedules, both in this and other countries.
2-The reports of the commission should be
fined to ascertained facts and should exclude
mendations unless called for by the body having
power to institute tariff legislation. The informa-
ton secured by the commission should be available
to either house Of congress and to the president.
The businessmen of the country agree that in
Spouse to the pledges given the people, the adj
minstration should revise the tariff without delay,
to the end that it may be more equitable The fact
is recognized however that consideration of the tar
iff problem which has concerned the country for
many years has never been based upon scientific,
businesslke asceraining of facts and action based
on those facts 1t is the belief of businessmen that
the of the past should not be repeated that,
coincident with the enactment of tariff laws
there should be created permanent tariff commits
sion in order that future tariff changes may be
based upon knowledge of world conditions well
as domestic demands and not merely upon desire
for change.

HONOLULU'S ENCOURAGEMENT TO SHIPPING

Honolulns preparation for great commerce
OF the future is not proceeding at Il rate COM
mensurate with the necessity for it, and there
fore the announcement of the board of harbor
commissioners in this paper few days ago of
plans for bonded coaling-station is Of more than
usual significance.
Members Of the harbor board protest against
the alleged unfriendliness of certain large inter
ests here to any plan that means special taxation
to build up the waterfront facilities of this and
other cities of the territory Whether the latest
plan of the board,-to establish a bonded coal
warehouse and put the territory into the bust
ness of furnishing cheap coal for foreign vessels,
will be opposed by local concerns is still to be
ascertained
The Star-Bulletin was told last sweek by
representative of a big San Francisco shipping
business, that the port charges here are entirely
too high and that this city is not encouraging
traffic to come here. He declared that Tanning
island, a thousand miles to the southwark, may
yet wrest from Honolulu the bulk of trans Pa
cific shipping. He looks upon the proposal for a
bonded coaling-station here as progressive and
likely to attract considerable trade, and suggests
that the fuel-oil pipeline should be used to Sc
cure the calling of vessels burning OIL 1t is said
that the Togo Kisen Kaisha is already consider
ing plan to get all of its oil in this port instead
of in Japan, which would add considerably to,
the volume of local business
The opening of the Panama canal is set forl
next October and Honolulu is far from ready forl
any large increase in shipping here The wharvesl
are inadequate to handld.some of the freight car
goes, and while the plan for bulkhead wharf at
the foot of Fort street will somewhat relieve the
situation, there is huge task ahead of this com
munity in lowering the general shipping charges
here. Building wharves is not the only encour-i
agement that must be given to commerce Ho-
nolulu must make this port stand ont in the
minds of shipping companies and shippers as a
port where charges are low and service of water
fuel and other supplies plentiful and certain.

IMPENDING STRIFE in CHINA


China's political crisis is considerably more
imminent than has been commonly supposed, if
the tenor of dispatches received by the local Chi
nese newspaper, Sun Chung Kwock b. and pub
lished in this paper Saturday, are indications OF
the division of power.
DIR. Sun is apparently in control of the upper
house, or rather DR.. Suns party is in control
In the lower house, the Yuan ShihKai support
ers have effected combination of three parties
and are now in control there with the Progress
sive party, as opposed to the Tung Mung or Ma
tOnalist party, to which DIR. Sun belongs
1t is apparent that the ambition of Yuan
Shih-kai, long known to be active and often de-
clared INSCRIPTIONS, is at work to achieve domi-
nance, and that the split between the president
and DIR. Sun Vat Sen is impending may be
gained from the report that-the NationaIists are
TRYING to prevent the provincial revenues from
going forward TO the central government They
do not trust Yuan Shih-Kais financial methods.
Not long ago an eminent Chinese traveller and
lecturer, speaking at a Chinese banquet in this
city in the presence of many of his own race and
very few Americans, declared that the internal
strife at Peking has been largely concealed from
the outside world. That he has not exaggerated
is indicated by the tenor of recent dispatches

Isnappy bali here, they ought to back

POSTMASTER PRATT = Four or
five years ago l suggested that by
working over the Hawaiian mail in
San Francisco and arranging it for the
routes here, we could greatly increase
the efficiency of the local service. The
San Francisco office at that time
could not furnish the facilities for
routing the mail. When Inspector
Hall was here, we went over the
whole thing and he has been success
full in getting the needed facilities in
San Francisco. The change is work
ing out admirably, and the new serv-
ice is not only rapid and accurate in
making early delivery of mail from the
steamer, but is money-saving in the
postoffice itself.
