Just Reciprocating.

Sisson discussed at length points of
pute and declared that California was
cndeavoring TO do only what Japan
had already done.
"if Japan now threatens us with
war what would she do when millions
of her citizens have acquired land in
our country?" he said. Il lay down
the proposition that an alien popula
tiun holding land within our borders
would be IA fixed and constant menace,
1--WE must preserve to the American
farmer the right to own the soil of
OUR country without competition
which would drag down his standard
of living. I would not surrender it
unless we had spent the last drop of
blood in American manhood and inn
poverished our country for hundred
generations"
"Tfcaty~ making can never deprive
the states of a reserved power con-
tinued Sisson. "This California ques-
ton is far reaching and important in
its results. Nearly all of the states
have statutes regulating the rights Of
aliens in refernce to acquiring real
estate. Nearly every state has some
limitation.
This democratic administration
should announce with no uncertain
tone to the world the right of the peo-
pie of these states to determine who
shall own the land within the state
and that the United States govern
ment will not prevent the states from
making such land laws as they see fit

Policy Criticized.

Representative Murdoch, the pro-
gressive leader, criticized the tariff poll
icy Of democrats and republicans. He
said the Underwood bill vas an "un-
reliable, chaotic tumble of inconsist-
encies,'' and urged that the tariff be
placed in the hands of non partisan
tariff commission. IF this bill passes" :"
he said, before christmas its sponsors
will be offering anendments.'
Representative Raincy of Illinois,
democrat, declared the bill represented
a new era in the governments fiscal
policy, making lighter the burden of
taxes upon the consumers of the cotn-
try and compelling great wealth to
contribute it's fair share toward pay
ing the government expenses"
Representative Chandler, New York,
progressive, advocated the reduction of
certain tariff duties and replied to
Representative Heflin of Alabama
who he said, had called Theodore
Roosevelt the wild man from Africa
and in the same breath had invoked
the spirit of Andrew Jackson to guide
the deliberations of a democratic con
gress.

Washington. April 2S.-A war
speech in support of the proposed
California anti-alion land law was
delivered in the house today by Rep
resentative Sisson of Mississippi.
IF we must have war or submit to
this indanity, | am for war" cried
Mr. Sisson. Il am with the people of
California in their efforts to prevent
these aliens from acquiring land.
Il believe said MIR. Sisson that
no non resident alien should be al

the territory of the United States,
What would Washington say IN am

sion? What would Jacson say?

Mr. SisSon took the position that

ing against alien land legislation was

the states.
THE president and secretary of
state" said Mr., Ssson should only
assure an alien government that the
people of the alien nation would be
dealt with fairly in accordance with
the law of the state. ANY other posi-
tion would lead to the federal govern
ment taking out from under the laws
of the states the citizens of another
nation. But all citizens or aliens res
ident in this state must be held sub
ject to it's laws and to exempt the
alien would give him privileges over
and above those accorded to American
citizens"
Representative Mann, the republican
leader, suggested the United States

tending that the foreign governments
did not have a similar right. MI. Sis

garding alien holding of land AS in
lhcir judgment seemed best when
such laws did not infringe upon the

DEBATE IN HOUSE
COMES TO END
IN ORATORY
FRIENDS AND FOES SPEAK FOR
AND AGAINST WILSON, uN-
DERWOoD MEASURE.

Washington, April 2S.--General de
bate on the democratic tariff bill in
the house wound up tonight in a final
outburst of oratory. Democrats spent
alternately republicans and progress
sives attacked it's provisions.
The house, weary after week of
tariff oratory, did not produce Il
numerous attendance and most of the
speeches of the day We're made to
empty benches However Representa-
tive Payne of New York, the ranking
republican member of the ways and
means committee and the father of the
present tariff law, had a goods sized
audience to listen to his denunciaton
of the bill. He painted a vivid word
picture of ruined industry and impoV-
erished labor which he presented as
the inevitable result of the Underwood
bill. Republicans vociferously ap
plauded when he declared that the re-
duction in the cost of living promised
by the democrats as a result Of the
tariff revision was n fallacy,
Mr.. Payne criticized the ways and
means committee for putting wool on
the free list while leaving on the duti-
able list the hair of Angora goats, in
timating that it was the work OF Rep
resentative Garner, the Texas member
of the COMMITTEES,

Retaliation.

After the action of the supreme
court today, Attorney General Barker
made the following statement:
notwithstanding the assurance this
department gave the insurance COM
panies that they safely could transact
business under the present law, they
met at Pittsburgh, and by concerted
agreement, which we think is in viola
ton Of the anti trust laws of this
state, decided to suspend business in
Missouri and quit writing policies, and
to withdraw from the state on
April 80.
"The law about which they COM
planned is not effective until June %,
and the fact that they agreed to leave
on April 80 shows that they were act
ing in a retaliatory and revengeful
spirit.
1T is not a question whether the
present law was wise or unWise, be-
cause the insurance companies were
given every kind of assurance of pro-
lection under it. l filed proceedings
in the supreme court to fine these
companies for entering into this lille
gal agreement, and asked the court to
restrain them from canceling all poll
cies in this state and from perfecting
this illegal agreement.
This decision was a complete vic
tory of the people, and / do not think
the insurance companies will dare at
tempt to carry out their illegal agree
ment in face of this order"
Attorney General Barker today filed
quo Warranto proceedings in the state
supreme court against Sc fire insur>
ance companies in the Western In
Surance bureau
The attorney general seeks to re-
strain the companies from carrying
out their threat to leave the state
April 80.

Leaving Scutari.

Vienna, April 2s.-Crown Prince
Danilo of Montenegro and his troops
have marched out of Scutari toward
the north, according to official dis
patches received here today. Only
five batteries of Montenegrin artillery
remain in the city.
Government circles in Vienna re-
gard the movement of the Montene-
grin troops from Scutari as equiva-
lent to the evacuation of the fortress
which had been demanded by the
European powers. =.

INSURANCE PEOPLE
ARE RESTRAINED
IN MISSOURI
STATE SUPREME COURT ORDERS
THEM NOT TO CANCEL ANY
CONTRACTS IN FORCE.

jefferson City, Mo, April 2S.-The
state supreme court today issued an
injunction restraining 1S2 fire insur-
ance companies from terminating con-
tracts now in force. The court did
not restrain the companies from ceas-
ing to write new business in the state.
The companies were given 10 days
to show why they should not be fined
for threatening to leave the state, and
10 days to show cause why they
should not be enjoined permanently
from cancelling present contracts.
Representatives of the insurance
companies when the injunction pro-
ceedings were filed today by the attor-
ney general said the companies had no
intention of cancelling present con-
tracts, but merely would write no new
business or renew present contracts
after April 80.

London, April 2s.-The mystery
surrounding events in the Balkans is
becoming deepened. No further news
has been received of Essad Pasha's
exploit in Albania and the situation
in Saloniki is difficult to understand.
A dispatch from Saloniki of current
date confirms the report that orders
We're given for the Bulgars to evacu-
ate all places occupied by the Greeks,
but that later these orders We're coun-
fernandez and that official attempts
were made to pretend they were never
given.
A Bucharest dispatch dated April
20, to the Daily Telegraph, expresses
the conviction that as soon as peace
is signed between the allies and Tur-
key, a new war will commence be-
tween Servia, Bulgaria and Greece.
A Bulgarian correspondent says
that large concentrations of opposing
troops are in readiness for these new
campaigns and adds that he has heard
from reliable sources that consider
able fighting already has occurred
and that three important engage
ments were fought in the last week,
concerning which the greatest Sc
crecy had been maintained. He de-
scribes fighting with heavy losses on
both sides, between the Bulgarians
and Servians to the northeast of Mon
astir on April 10, and fighting be-
tween the Greeks and Bulgarians for
a week in the vicinity of Nigrita,
Seres and Saloniki.e - &a5s s' ss4+s+

to the, fact that. whereas for few
weeks the Servians were endeavoring
to defeat and capture Djavid Pasha's
army, these operations appear to have
ceased and suggests that the cessa-
tion of the Servian attack is connect
ed with Essad Pasha's coup
Apparently the ambassadors con-
ference in London today postponed
it's decision until the next meeting,
which is set for May 1.

BONDS OR NO BONDS.

which contained good practical
argument in favor of them, and
yet there is room for much more
good argument in favor Of bonds
I'm the first place, let's see If we
can hope to ever have good roads
under present conditions This is
the only way to solve the problem.
We find, on investigation, that it
is impossible to build a mile OF
good road in the county with the
amount of labor to the mile.
L will give you some absolutely
indisputable facts in regard to the
number of miles of road, number
of hands, number of days worked,
etc. Ben'on County has'250 miles
of road under order to be worked
by $50 hands. This gives-3 hands
to the mile, Each hand is taxed 5
day s. labor, which gives Us days TO
the mile and $3.50 days to the roads
of the county. This work, at IS
cents per day, would amount TO
$2,8l250, which amount would
build about three miles of roadoa
year. At this rate it would take
fifty years to build the roads Of
the county. But this is not all,
for we must consider that there
are sixteen Road Commissioners,
who must have pay to issue war
rants TO about T50 Overseers. AS
the Overseers are selected from
the road hands, you see we have
just 5S4 hands that put in labor
ON the roads.
. The county pays about $50 men
$3S7.5O to oversee 5S4 and pays
the sixteen Commissioners about
Sl6O so TO issue warrants to those
Overseers. How about the work
of the hands? They work about
one-half the time they are on the
road, and all Of this is patch work.
The first heavy rains wash it away
and work and money is gone.
I met one of our citizens on the
public road who said he had work
ed the road 24 years. 4 askrd him
to show me one hours work he did
in this time, and he replied that he
could not, for it had all washed
away. This is the case all over the
county, so anyone can readily see
that it is impossible to have good
roads under the present system.
Next, let's See if we are able to
make 200 miles of first class road,
Yo begin with, we have the very
finest road building material in
the United States. Camden ebert
(graveD took first prize at the
National Road Convention held in
Chicago in 1914. This material
will be to haul only short dis.
lance when compared with other
West Tennessee counties.
Dyer, Madison and Shelby are
buying our gravel, which is costing
them about so cents per yard de.
livered on cars; added to this cost
they pay the freight and the cost
of hauling and spreading on the
road. Those counties are building
roads for about $1,000 per mile
In mary parts of our county the
item of hauling would'be small ,'fol

$4,000 n year.
How is this money expended?
1t is spent for road tools, lumber
for small bridges, metal culverts,

etc. 1t is conservatively estimated
that we expend about $40, 1000 per
year on roads and that this amount
is clear loss to the county.
Lets see, cash the labor of road
