Mohammedans, Buddhists and Taoists
have had before the state at least
presumptive equality with confucian-
lists. President Yuan Shih-kai said in
speech before the national assembly
on April 20, 1912: I'm view of the
religious liberty OF the people. all reli-
gions will be regarded as being on the
same footing, and there will be no dis
elimination against any particular one.
There should be mutual respect and
avoidance of mutual distrust among
tho people irrespective Of whether
they practice any particular relig-
ion or not, or whatever faith they
embrace, SO that they may all share
in the enjoyment of public peace and
happiness"
Naturally enough the Christians OF
the republic. now numbering almost
a million, including all branches OF
the Christian church, are not stand
ing idly by watching without protest
the movement to establish confucian-
ism as the state religion. A commit
tee of seven has been selected and a
counter-movement is under way. The
duty of the committee is that of in
forming Christians throughout the
country concerning the various activ-
tiles of the confucian propaganda and
they are also seeing to 1t that a
is presented to the as
sembly, calling for unconditional relig-
ious liberty and rejecting the pro-
posal to have a state religion for the
republic.

the BEEF SHORTAGE.

Prof. Kennedy, agricultural expert
at Ames college says:
cat present there is great deal OF
speculation as to what. effect the new
tariff law, which has placed meat on
the free list, will have on the cost
and supply of beef in this country. 1t
may serve temporarily to somewhat
reduce the cost of beef but it will not
have a permanent influence on the in
dustry. This is due to the fact that
Europe is meat hungry, thus will bid
against our people for the surplus
meat of the Argentine. Australia and
any other exporting countries. Even
the. most optimistic believers in free
meat figure that at the very outside,
not more than 1000 head of cattle per
week or 100000 pounds of beef can
be expected. This amount would
barely furnish enough beef for our
annual increase in population. The
very lowest estimates on our annual
per capita beef consumption place the
amount at Sc pounds per person, or
14,4OO 900 pounds per day, thus our
people would eat the entire amount OF
anticipated yearly importation Of beef,
some 10O,OOO,OOO pounds in about seven
