MAY NEED "BIG STICK
WILSON TARIFF STEAM ROLLER
STRIKES eoULDERs.
Foreign Nations Already Are Protest.
ing Against Two Features Of the
Administration Riii and
May Retaliate.

The Woodrow Wilson tariff steam
roller has fattened into silence the
house Democrats who rea onably
feared its destructive operations on
great industries of their several states
1t is fiattening into silence the Demo-
cratic senators who felt the same
fears.
Only two of them, Messro. RansdeI
and Thornton OF Louisiana, have stood
up TO be counted against the proposal
that a revolutionary tariff bill shall be
put through without giving the bust
ness interests of the country their day
in court or any public hearing for their
cause.
The roller is rolling on TO put
double, treble and even quadruple tax
ation on all life insurance policy bold
ers, thus Furnishing them for seeking
10 provide for their families when the
bread-winner is taken away. The life
insurance companies have heaps Of
money in sight, and the millions Of
customs revenue that are TO be thrown
away must be made up somewhere.
Therefore, disregard the promise
that men who have not incomes OF
$4,000 a year or more shall be exempt
from the income tax! Take it out of
life insurance policy holders, their
widows and orphans. no matter how
much below $4,000 their incomes may
be. The administration needs the
money to buy Alaska railways from
1.-THE Guggenheims and to build armor
plate mills.
The roller is now striking boulders
IN the form of protest from foreign
nations against two features of the
Woodrow Wilson bill One is the re-
duction OF five per cent. granted 10
goods imported in American ships.
The other is that foreign merchants
and manufacturers exporting goods TO
this country shall open their books
TO inquisitorial investigation.
The former protest is technically
more important, since ii rests on a
charge of violation of express treaty
agreements. The latter. though ii may
be more easily overcome in it's legal
practical importance. We may, OF
course, fix the terms on which we will
permit foreigners to trade in our mar
kets But If we fix too onerous terms
we are likely to provoke retaliation.
Right al this point is where we are
likely to miss the tariff big stick"
which the Woodrow Wilson bill has
Whitfield down TO broom straw Re-
publican tariff. bills made their rates
the minimum, and empowered the
president to impose greater rates on
the goods of countries which discrimi-
mated against our experts.
The Woodrow Wilson bill makes it's
rates the maximum, and empowers the
president TO grant lower rates to coun-
tries which offer some apparent ad.
vantage TO our exports or refrain from
discriminating. Yes. we are likely to
miss our tariff big stick" before we
get through with our experiment with
Democratic tariff making.-Chicago

THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS

Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfully says:

great migration han put an end t.
fear, freely expressed not many YES
ago by those who Knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast of Van
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break in two because of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This is true. While the immigra-
ton from the United States is large,
running close TO 10000 a year, that of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number, max
ing total of 100000 per year. there
is a strong influx from Eastern Can

provinces that these people go, but
mary of them continue westward. the
glory Of British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture

prominence. Then the vast expanse
os the plains attract hundreds Of thou

still room, and great opportunity in
the West. The work of mans hands,

is spread before the aye on journey
through the country, Nature is still
supreme, and man is still the divine
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
uneonquered half continent.
The feature that post commends
itself in Western development today
is the "home-making spirit" The
West will find happiness in planting
trees ana making gardens and build

lts character Revealed

The tariff measure in the senate is
being brought TO the glass OF truth
and as its reflection appears to view
in this framing it is seen to be ono
o. the most desperate and destructive
bills that has ever been proposed.
Even though the Republicans may not
seek actively to defeat the measure,
rather relying upon it to show tho
country the inexpediency Of Democrat
C rule, the bill still has strong chances
Of going upon the rocks. The upper
house cannot view with tolerance the
prospect it opens up.
