TARIFF ON ART DEPL0RED
Said to Work Injury to Small
Museums of Country.

Washington, May 15.-Revision OF eX-
isting stringent tariff regulations that pre-
vent the creations OF American artists
working and studying abroad from enter
ing this country for display was urged To-
day at the afternoon session OF the CON
vention OF the American Federation OF
Arts.
Tariff revision was brought TO the at
tention OF the convention by Thomas
Wood stevens. Of the Art Institute OF chi
cago In discussing the problems and needs
OF the small museum. He declared that
one Of the reasons why the small museum
failed 70 flourish was the lack OF proper
exhibits This. he added, was because
many OF the American artists working
abroad would not ship their works nome
for exhibition purposes because OF the req
tape encountered In the Underwood
tarin bill now pending. works OF ART are
placed on the free list.

Public Interests versus Special Interests

II i distinctly unkind Of Alderman Folks. when
the Board Of Aldermen is suffering the pangs Of the
taxcab graft inquiry to recall the fact that for a
couple of yea rs the board has refused to pass de-
cent moving picture theatre ordinance II is much
less than charitable for him to couple the adermanc
conduct in the two cases with declaration that
whenever special interests and special privilege come
into conflict with the public interest special privilege
doesn't get the worst Of IL from the City Fathers.
Yet in these specific il happens be the pre-
else truth That's probably why his statement hurts
the aldermen.
For nearly two years efforts have been made 10
enact al ordinance which would make compulsory
decent heating lighting ventilation. seating ar
engagements and fire protection in existing moving
picture theatres and practically hreproof construc
ton for new ones. When the public demand for II
became so great that the aldermen dared not
ignore II further they killed il by passing 1t with
so ridiculous an amendment that Mayor Gaynor
had 10 veto H. Meantime the thousands OF women
and children who frequent the motion picture
houses are inadequately protected TO make the
improvements required by the ordinance would
have cost special interests" considerable money.

A JAPANESE SUGGESTION
Naturalization Should Rest on Abl-
ity. Not on Race or Color.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. Permit me 10 express through
your columns my most hearty appreci-
alton Of the views advanced by Dr. John
r. Mott on the question OF Immigration
and naturalization which appeared N
your issue Of Yesterday. DR.. Motifs IDEAS
strike me as eminently sane, just ana
within the range OF practicabiiity. lie

tude OF the japanese nation toward the
anti-alien land bill enacted by the Cali-
fornia LEGISLATURE when he says that

rigid requirements both for immigration

To solve the problem he advocates the
establishment or d system Of rigid ana

irrespective Of race. In other words his
idea is that the requirements FOR the
granting Of such privileges should De based
not upon the color Of the skin, but upon
the physical economic. moral and intel

could be fairer than this. No reasonable
man or nation can or will object 10 such
just treatment. Least Of all. the Jap

complaint against such an equitable sys-

when ne asserts that the Japanese look
upon US with the utmost frendliness as
the people who opened the door OF West

not stand. az no great race could, the
intimation that they are in any way in

The wisdom OF Dr. Motifs plan lies in
the fact that II would also be a guarantee
that the American immigrants would be
the pick or the world and well itted q

quirements established. I cannot but re-
loice TO see that such a just view. which.
YOU will permit me TO say. I have always
held and hoped 70 be realized In this
land OF equality and justice, has already
begun 70 be voiced here. and that by SUCH
an influential citizen as Dr. Mott. I can

DISTRICT OFFICIALS
PAY INCOME TAX
Subject to the Law to Extent of One
Per Cent of Income, Says

terday. These officials will be required
to pay ! per cent of their incomes o9
$, 1000 IL single or 1900 IL married.
Alonzo Tweedale, aduitor for the Dis
trict, submitted this matter to the de-
cision OF Mr.. Osborn, together with the
argument that all officers of the District
are exempted from the income tax by
the provision that the compensation of
all officers and employees OF a State or
any political subdivision thereof, except
where such compensation shall be paid
by the United States government shall
be excluded"
Mr.. Osborn based his ruling upon this
section of the income law that nothing
in this section shall be held to exclude
from the computation Of the net income
the compensation paid any official by the
government OF the District Of Columbia,
Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands or
the political subdivisions thereof"
District officials whose salaries exceed
5000 are: Three Commissioners, 5000;

"U. S. Is FACING PANIC"
IS REPUBLICAN WARNING
Representative Mann Says Underwood
Tariff Bill Has Only Caused
Business Unrest.

That the business Of the country Is
frightened and that II Is on the verge
of a panic was asserted in the House
yesterday by Representative Mann, Re-
publican floor leader.
II shall not at this time" said Mann,
SAY more than that this country now
is facing a panic. Men all over the
country in financial and industrial insti-
buttons are nearly scared to death. This
condition follows the incapacity OF Demo-
cratic legislature. At a future date / shall
tell this House what the true condition
CT affairs is.
Mann said the Wilson-Underwood tariff
bill has not reduced the cost OF living,
but has produced business unrest. The
Mann speech followed an attack made by
Representative Helm. Of Alabama, on
gambling in cotton futures Helm criti-
cised the government board on its recent
estimate of the cotton crop asserting that
the board had over estimated the crops
of 1910, 1911 and 1872 He asserted that
cotton should now be selling for Is cents
