NON DAY, MARCH 3, 1918.
THE WEBB BILL.

On page one of this issue Of The Fo-
rum viii be found a copy Of the Webb
bill, which was passed over Taft's veto
by congress and therefore becomes the
law Of the land. 1t will be noted that
this law does not say that liquor cam
not be shipped into a prohibition
state. What it does say is:
That the shipment of liquor from
one state to another state. which liquor
is to be use in violation Of any law Of
such state is hereby prohibited.
1t is apparent, therefore, that this
law will not prohibit any person from
shipping liquor into North Dakota for
his own use. The North Dakota law
does not prohibit a man from using
liquor or from having it in his possess
sion. 1t does. however, prohibit him
from selling it or giving 1t away.
What the law will do therefore will
be to make any violator Of the prohi-
bition law, subject to federal control.
The man who ships liquor into North
Dakota for the purpose of selling it
will hereafter have Uncle Sam to deal
with, as we'll as the state officials.
AS the law says the shipment or
transportation Of liquor" the new law
will probably cause the railroads and
express companies to be very careful
in making shipments, as they also will
become liable under it's terms. The
Webb bill is going to be e. very effec-
tive weapon in heading off the blind
pig business, provided 1t is constitu-
tional.

IMMIGRATION,

Though the refusal Of the house
Of representatives to pass the DflIing-
ham-Burnett immigration bill over
the veto of President Taft blocked its
adoption as the law of the land, it is
worth while to see what would have
been the direct effect of such a law,
which was intended to bar aliens over
Is years of age who could not
read the English or some other Ian
guage,
The latest figures available on i'm
migration r those for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1911, or the S7S,5S7
immigrant aliens who landed at Ellis
Island during the year referred to
there were 1928 Of IA years
or over who could not read or write,
AS the proposed law fixed the exclu-
sion limit two years higher, the num-
Der of i~lliterates to be excluded would
have been somewhat less thar the
figures given for the lower limit.
Taking the figures of the year re-
ferred to, the great bulk of those who
could not read came from ~Italy-near-
ly 100, 900. Hebrews came next, 1S, 757,
with Russians third, with nearly 49,
900 i~lliterates. Mexicans and Lithu-
anians each tent about 5000 who
could not read. Among the races
which sent as many as 10000 immi-
grants, Scandinavians sent the small
est number Of iliiterates-84, out of a
total OF nearly $4,000. Scotland sent
10s, England $50, and Ireland 434. 1t
will thus be seen the new exclusion
law would have hit the Italians espe-
cially, and that the remainder OF
those exclNded-considerably less than
half, Judging by the year referred to
would be scattered anon a number
OF other nationalities.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

The colored people have a splendid
champion in Booker T. Washington.
There ia surely hope for a ace that
can boast a man as brainy, as Clev-
er and with the common sense that
is characteristic of the great negro
who talked to thousands Of Fargoans
last night.
Washington has no illusions as to
the future of his rae He knows that
it has a long way to go before it
reaches the high state Of civilization
Of the white race. and that is the
point he emphasized in pleading for
a less harsh judgment of the black
men. when you measure the black
nan, in comparison with the white
man of America, you are using q. pref
ty severe yard stick" said Washing
ton.
But Washington is not in the least
fearful of the black mans future. He
is indeed proud of the progress that
has been made by a. race that fifty
years 9 was in slavery, and he gave
some figures that may have been sur
prising to many of his audience, to
show what a really great advance
the race, as a whole, has made.
Washington believes that education,
along practical, common sense lines
is the solution of the race problem.
and he told of the results that are
being obtained in his great institution
for the negro to prove his point. He
gave the people of Fargo a new point
OF view from which to see the negro
problem.

or primary group and indeed related
to them practically as partners i'll
many of their larger financial enter
prIses, are the IewSrfui int Irrational
banking houses of Lee Higginson &
Co. and Kidder, Peabody & Co, with
three AFFILIATED banks in Boston.
I'm New York City the information
al banking house OF Messrs. Kuhn,
Loebe & Co., with it's large foreign
clientele and connections, whilst only
Q~ualifedly allied with the inner group,
yet through its close relations with
the National City bank and the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce and other
financial institutions, with which It
has recently allied itself, has many
interests in common. conducting large
joint account transactions with them,
especially in recent years, and hav-
ing what virtually amounts to an
understanding not to compete, which
is defended as a principle of bank
ing ethics Together they have with
a few exceptions pre-empted the
banking business of the important
railways of the country.
In Chicago this inner group as
sociates with and makes issues of
securities in joint account, or through
underwriting p~articipations primarily
with the First National bank and the
Illinois Trust and Savings bank. and
has more or less friendly business
relations with the Continental and
Commercial National bank, which
participates in the underwriting Of
security issues by the inner group.
There are the three largest financial
institutions in Chicago, with combined
resources of $561,000,000.
"Radiating from these principal
groups and closely affiliated with
them are smaller but important bank
ing houses, such as KiSsel, Kinnicut
e. Co., white, Weld & Co., and Harvey
Fisk g. Sons. who receive large and
lucrative patronage from the dominate
ing groups and are used by the lat
ter as jobbers or distributors OF
securities, the issuing of which they
control but which for reasons Of
their own they prefer not to have is
sued or distributed under their own
names. Messrs. Lee, Higginson &
Co., besides being partners with the
inner group, are also frequently
utilized in this service because Of their
facilities as distributors of securities.
Beyond these inner groups and
sub-groups are banks and bankers
throughout the country who CO.
operate with them in underwriting
or guaranteeing the sale of securities
offered to the public and who also act
as distributors of such securities.
The patronage thus preceding from
the inner group and its sub groups is
of great value to these banks and
bankers, who are thus tied by self
interest to the great issuing houses
and may be regarded as a part of this
vast financial organization"
Concluding its findings as to the
existence of a money trust, the COM
mittee said:
"Your committee is convinced that
however well founded may be the as
surances of good intentions by those
now holding the places of power
which have been thus created. the
situation is fought with too great
peril to our institutions to be tolerat-
ed.'
