Balkan War Compels

Balkan troubles, which would seem
far enough away to have little effect
in Georgia, are blamed by the Seaboard
Air Line railway for its present plight,
which forces the Seaboard to ask per-
mission to issue $6,OOO,OOO per cent,
three-year notes to pay for improve

The Seaboard now says the bonds can
not be sold at the moment. and it pro-
poses to pledge the 1918 installment as

to be disposed of later for payment Of
the notes.

New and Untried Members To
Be Tested on Tariff Before
Given Committee Places.
ASSIGNMENTS TO BE
HELD UP FOR PRESENT
Even Older Members Will Be
Ignored if They Move With
out Leaders Approval.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-First-
term men of the s;xty-third con-
gress and even some of the older mem
bers will be ignored in the matter of
choice assignments if they make radi-
cal moves without the sanction of the
house leaders. The word has been
passed around TO this effect among the
rank and file of the newcomers.
The ways and means committee has
grasped this club to hold over the heads
of the new members who have strong
independent convictions as to tariff re-
vision. 1t is said no committee as
signments will be made during the ex-
ira session, and Majority Leader I'm
derwood has announced that until the
tariff bills are out of the way nothing
may be looked for in this line
The reason for this delay in making
committee assignments is given by the
leaders as the scarcity of work for any
committees except the ways and means
committee. rules and mileage Al
though the sundry civil and Indian ap-
preparation bills failed at the last ses-
sion, it is not necessary to have new
committees to take them up again. 1t
is planned to pass them under special
rule, without committee work.
The real reason, it is claimed by the
insiders, is that Majority Leader I'm
derwood and his lieutenants want to
have a chance to size up the new men,
bers and determine who can be depend
ed upon in a pinch and who might
prove tricky.
Notes will be taken on the inclina-
tons manifested by new Democrats to-
ward tariff revision, and a balance will
be struck at the end of the extra ses-
sion

Of JOINER
AND CUMMINGS
REVEALED
Fire Chief, at inquiry, Declares
Predecessor "Four-fIuShed"
on Hose Contracts.

The investigation of the city fire de-
partment by the special committee of
council has brought to light an old
feud between Chief w. b Cummings
and eX-Chief w. r. Joyner. Efforts
to discount one administration by COM
parsons with the other consumed most
of the time of the first meeting OF the
investigating committee.
1t was shown that the requlsition
system of purchasing supplies required
of all city departments had never been
followed by the fire department In
stead of asking the comptroller's de-
partment TO secure needed supplies, the
officials of the fire department always
have gone ahead and bought them
without consulting the comptroller.
Mayor Woodward declared that such
conduct was illegal and it was one Of
the principal reasons he had asked for
an investigation.
Joyner Claims Hose Rebate.
Elk Chief Joyner explained TO the
committee that he got a special ten PEI
all hose purchased when he was chief.
Mayor Woodward's charges were based
on the fact that Chief Cummings has
received no such rebates When joy
ner finished his testimony he asked %
be excused, saying that he lived out or
the city.
i am going to say some things here
that may cause some one to want you"
declared Chief Cummings.
Gentlemen" began chief Cummings,
Il want to say that this ten per cent
rebate business is all a fake. Tine
amount gas added on to the actual
price Of the hose to provide for a grand
fourhush."
He showed voucher draw Just be-
fore the retirement of Joyner showing
that a ten per cent rebate had been
granted. He said that when he became
chief the next month and asked for
prices on hose from the same company.
the Southern Betting Company, they
quoted him the same net secured by
Joyner without mentioning any rebate.
Reads Letters as Proof.
He read letters from Nashville, Co
lumbus and other cities TO prove that
they had secured better prices on the
same grade of hose from the Same
company than Joyner had secured for
Atlanta.
Just after Mr. Joyner became may
or he sent for me one day" continued
Chief Cummings. He had letter from
a company that had bid on a piece of
fire apparatus, the price being $780,
We know you better than we 10

he will accept our bid of 5000 and draw
a voucher for that amount we will mail
him a check for 500 and he can turn
it over to the city"
Chief Cummings said that last SEN
tence implied IF you want to" clause,
and that ne refused to approve the bid.
There was clash between Mayor
Woodward and J. j. Rafter, of the Fab
ric Fire Hose Company Rafter denied
that his company would make any ten
per cent rebate on hose to the city
Raises Veracity Issue.
Mayor Woodward declared that Raft
er had told him he would make such a
rebate and complained that he was I'M
able to get any Of Atlanta's business.
1t is a question of veracity between
us, then said Mr. Rafter
Mayor Woodward said he would pro-
duce witnesses to prove his statement.
Mr.. Rafter later apologized for his
statement about veracity
The investigation will be resumed
tonight.

EDITOR

Two factors would. it seems To us, work
against the success of such plan. The first is
that to carry it out, the United States would
have to discriminate not only between classes Of
japanese immigrants but between immigrant
races The history of immigrant legislation of
the past few years Indicates that the United
States is averse to imposing any kind of a Fit
eracy test OH those aliens who come to our
shores. The latest immigration bill does not
provide a literacy test To allow European i'm
migrants, for instance, to enter the United
States without the imposition of such test, and
to require Japanese immigrants to take the test,
would raise point of discrimination quite as
important as that raised in California. Japan
would argue, and with some justice, that if I'M
educated Europeans are allowed to enter the
United States, and uneducated Japanese are
not, Uncle Sam is tacitly declaring the Japan
csc inferior to the Europeans.
The second factor arises from the recognize
condition that it is the coolie class, the unedu-
Gated class, and not the student merchant and
travelling classes, that has brought about the
land-ownership controversy.
To refuse naturalization in the future to the
cooIie class will not solve the present question,
which arose from the realization of California
that she has an alien land-holding population
active in her midst The United States cannot
enter consideration of the naturalization ques-
ton along the lines proposed by DIR. Gulick un-
til it has settled this landownership controversy.
Japan's recent notes to the United States indi-
cate that Japan is not satisfied with Uncle Sans
answer to the protests made through Ambassa-
dor Chinda. =
Hence it should be clear that discus
sion of japanese naturalization which in
wolves distinction between classes Of immi-
grants must be preceded by a settlement of the
question of what the United States is going to
do with the japanese who already own lease
lands in California and elsewhere

MAKE EVERY DOLLAR COUNT

The territorial administration is taking wise
departments the wisdom of strict economy dur
ing the next few months.
No emergency exists, nor is there anything
deeply alarming in the situation, but the trend
of affairs financial in the United States is a
powerful argument why Hawaii should keep a
considerable amount of cash on hand. Money
in the territory is somewhat ''tight" now andswiIl
be. tighter il the territorial officials make a
heavy drain on the treasury and deposit ac-
counts, for the deposit account particularly has
q direct bearing on the ability of the banks to
carry on their ordinary commercial business. AT
the present time there is considerable sum on
deposit in Hawaii's banks which may be con-
served under policy of strict economy and of
making not-one cents expenditure that is not
demanded BY following such policy, the ter
ritorial administration may be of unique bene-
fit to the people in general.
Governor Frear's cabinet conference of yes
terday,-the second of the kind, it is said during
his term, should not be the basis for alarm. 1t
was held to bring home to the various depart
ment heads the absolute necessity for guarding
their expenditures and for putting the territory
in position to meet without fear the expected
drop in income tax receipts.
There is some talk of an extra session of the
legislature, but the Star Bulletin does not be-
lieye an extra session will be advisable or neces-
sary if the territorys officials adhere to the line
of economy marked out.
