PREPARING A TARIFF BILL

However diverting the %colloquy,
nothing important is eve accomplish.
ed when the pot calls the kettle black,
and the kettle replies by calling at.
tention to the source of the reproach.
A good deal Of secrecy has always
been employed in the preparation Of
tariff bills. The Wilson bill of twenty
years ago was wittily named the
dark lantern bill" 1t had been pre-
pared in a room in the basement of
the capitol, where those at work could
not be interrupted. The democratic
members of the house charged with
the duty of revision wanted quiet
and s%eclusion until ready to call in
their republican colleagues and show
what had been agreed upon. They
took every means they thought mate,
rial to inform themselves about their
task.
The Dingley bill, which followed af-
ter three years, escaped witty charac-
%terization, but was prepared in secret
very much as the other had been. Mr..
Dingley and his republican colleagues
of ways and means took the informa.
ton that had been gathered at hear.
ings and otherwise into account
among themselves, and did not cal
in the democratic members Of the
committee until the measure was
ready for reporting to the house. To
some extent it also was a dark Ian
tern bill"
The failure Of the Wilson bill, as
law and the success of the Dingley
bill as law did not grow out of an,
secrecy that had been employed i,
their preparation. In the one case 8

The Williston sub.station has been

under irrigation and dry farming. In
1912, however, the rains came so
seasonable that no irrigation was
done.
A great deal of work is being car.
ried on in plant breeding, as we'll as
in fruit growing, variety testing, TO-

North Dakota a larger acreage than
usual has been disked in, a method
requiring exceptionally good weather
conditions to produce results. Thus
far the weather throuout the north

ideal for the growing plant, producing
strong,hardy roots. Wholesale trade
has gradually %lessened, but the coun-
try merchant is carrying practically
no surplus stock and is obliged to buy
frequently of the jobber, but in small
lots. This makes a steady volume of
sales much more satisfactory to the
jobber than the old.time occasional

OUR PROBLEM WITH JAPAN

In all probability the Japanese gov.
eminent will be automatically in.
sistent upon an early repy to it's 70.
test against the California alien land
law. While that government, Off.
cially, is without reason for doubt
Ing the good faith and %friendliness
OF the one at Washington, there are
political reasons why it should press
Tor some sort or understanding pre-.
liminary to an early opening of me-
gotiations for the making of a new
treaty. The present Japanese minis.
try is not very strongly intrenched
In office. It's title might even be call.
ed precarious, under existing condi.
tons In Japanese politics. If the state
OF the public mind in that country
has not been exaggerated, there WI:
come a demand for immediate action,
or some promise Of early action, as
soon as the California law becomes
effective, or perhaps as soon as it is
signed by the governor.
The policy to be pursued at Wash
ington is said to be one of delay.
That is certainly the most obvious
policy, but one likely to be attended
with difflculties. The Japanese min
lister at Washington will be under
constant pressure from Toxic to have
the Washington government do some
thing, or take steps toward doing
something. And there is but one thing
for the Washington government to
40. 1t has failed, in an intervening
capacity, to stop, or in any material
way to modify, the a~nti.Japanese leg
islation long pending in California.
Governor Johnson, in his letter to
Secretary Bryan, says again that the
California law will not conflict with
the treaty rights of Japanese as guar.
anteed under the treaty now in force.
This contention is nothing more than
a "~reassertion OF what the Japanese
government has often denied. But
the Japanese government will find the
one at Washington powerless to &C.
cept it's Interpretation CT the doc,l-
ment over that of California. In fact,
the Washington government can do
nothing else than defend the Calilor.
mia Interpretation.
Exchange Of opinion on this point
should naturally lead to a proposal
for the making of a new treaty.
While such a treaty was in course of
preparation, the public opinion of
both countries could calmly await the
development and announcement of
whatever plan their diplomatic repre-.
sentatives might agree upon for the
settlement of this and other cues
lions. With the terms of the treaty
made known, public opinion in both
countries could then make itself felt
in determining whether or not they
should be accepted. In view of the
certainty that the Japanese will still
insist that the California law violates
the present treaty, and the equal Ger
tainty that our government cannot
admit that it does, the making of &
new treaty is the only open course
for reaching that amiacble adjust
ment of all differences which botf
