"Go INTO SOMETHING ELSE ,

Some of the extreme radicals in the
coterie Of Democratic politicians who
are so clanorous for low tariff have the
gall 10 say that ''if removing the duty
on sugar destroys the domestic industry,
let those engaged seek employment
elsewhere This sentiment, or the
meaning of it, is attributed even to
Chairman Underwood, who surely ought
to know better. 1t is not question of
going into something else" for those
who have made large investments in
the sugar industry. 1t would be hard
enough upon the employees to tell them
that their occupation is gone, and that
they must "go into something else';
but what about those who have in
vested their money by the hundreds Of
thousands of dollars in the construc-
tion of sugar factories, in the acquire.
ment of land, water rights. and the like

them good on their investment so that
they can take their money and ego into

ton TO reimburse these men for the
expenditures they have made and for
the property which they own, the use
of which may be destroyed by hostile
legislation.

their capital invested in sugar fac

LIQUoR COST IN MAINE.

Maine is a prohibition State, Fol
some sixty years the sale OF liquor has
been absolutely under the ban there
and cargoes of liquor were subject to
confiscation at any time that they came
within the jurisdiction of the State
And yet it appears from the intcrna
revenue reports of the Government
that there are about as many liquor
dealers paying special tax as such, pei
capita, in Maine as in the other States
in the Union.
There has been an especial revival
of interest in the liquor laws in Maine
By reason Of the close vote last Sep.
tember on the repeal Of prohibition, and
because OF the deposition Of some sher-
ifs in that State because they refused
or failed to enforce the law. The sher-
iff Of the county in which Lewiston is
situated has been deposed from office
because he undertook to regulate rather
than suppress the liquor traffic. Now
they propose to have sheriff who will
enforce the law and will take no hand
in Regulating" the sale of liquors
prohibited by law.
This situation brings out computa-
ton in the Lewiston Journal to the
point of showing the extent of the
liquor traffic in that city in spite Of
prohibition. That estimate is that
"about 100000 drinks have been sold
over Lewiston bars to The thirsty class
since the first OF January at a charge
of close to $4,000 MONTH This es-
innate covering tho first two months
of the present year. For tho four
months the total sales would amount.
at the same rate, TO $2sO,0O0, and for
year it would amount to $4,000.
That is surely "going some" for a
city in prohibition State. The popu-
lation of Lewiston by the census of
1910 was 26,247. If 100000 Of drinks
were sold in that city in two months
that would be 100000 drinks 4
month. or say, something close to forty
drinks a month for every inhabitant of
the city. Undoubtedly there must be
an appreciable portion of the citizen.

sHoRT.TIME ENLsTMENTs,

The law governing tho service in the
army Of the United States has changed
of recent years, by extending the period
Of enlistment from three years to seven
four of these years being in active
service and three in tho reserve. The
term thus provided for is surely un
necessarily long, and has resulted in de
creasing the number of enlistments
And when one considers the question
fairly, il is extremely difficult to sec
why recruits should be held four years
in the active service merely for the pur-
pose OF learning the routine of military
life. AS a matter Of fact, that routine
can be learned very easily by most men
with one year g active service, and two
years would be ample for any one to
learn it who is capable of learning it
at all
II the law Of military service were
made to be one year with the colors in
continuous active service, and three
years, or even five years, or seven if
need be, in the reserve. the trained men
being subject to call for active service
at any period when needed during what
ever term is specified, the army could
be very largely increased and its eff
ficiency thoroughly built up. The main
thing is to give a fair elementary
training in military life to as large a
number of our young men as possible,
so that they will be in condition for
fair effectiveness IL any need calls them
TO service.
1t is probable that legislation will be
passed in the present Congress on the
lines indicated. The effectiveness Of
any nation for military defense should
not in a popular government be made
to depend too much upon a huge stand
ing army, but should be in provision
that would keep the recruits in a short
time enlistment long enough to give
them fair practical instruction in their
military duties; that amount Of training
in the manual Of arms, and in the ele"
ments of obedience to orders and ready
knowledge Of the ordinary evolutions
would be sufficient. If we could get,
say, 100000 recruits yearly. train them
thoroughly for a year in military ex
ercises, then dismiss them from actual
service, subject to recall at need for
such number of years as the law would
specify, then take on another 100000
and so on year by year, we would soon
have throughout the Republic pretty
fair body of citizenship able to rally
Ia the colors and do effective service
almost from the first month of recall.
We believe that military system such
as this would be by far the best that
could be introduced in the United
States: and we should be glad to see
Congress wake up to the importance of
providing an adequate force to be avail
able at need, and available at once

FAIR TO MINING INTERESTS

fAlh ~ MINING INTERESTS.
Judge John A. Marshall of the L. S
District Court of Utah, decided a propo
sition of very great Importance to the
mining industry of Utah in the suit OF
the Utah Copper Company to recover
excess taxes collected from that com
pany by the county treasurer Of this
county. Judge Marshall gave instruc.
tlons 10 the jury to find for the mining
company, the amount decreed to be re.
turned amounting to S29,444.S3.
The excess taxation imposed on the
company was at the instance of the
State Board of Equalization. which
seemed to act as though certain amend
ments TO the Constitution proposed at
the election last fall had actually car.
ried, and that legislation in accord with
those amendments had been passed. II
will be remembered that those amend
ments were designed largely TO increase
the taxation in the State, and that the
legislation which was favored in pur-
suance Of them would have given e1.
traordinary powers TO the State Board
of Equalization 20 increase at its arbi
trary will the taxation on any company
or any individual in the State, regard
less Of the county assessment and equal
ization. Fortunately for the State, the
people awoke to a realization Of what
the amendments really meant, and the
voters defeated those amendments by
handsome majorities-
The point at issue in this suit was the
allowance in a business-like way, as
business men usually would make al
lowance, for expenditures in the devcl.
opment of the mining property and the
providing of facilities for handling and
reducing its ores. Tho company claimed,
and Judge Marshall allowed the claim,
that these expenditures were properly
to be deducted from the gross revenues
of the company before the net profits
were established. That is. until these
were deducted the amount
claimed by the Board as net profit was
by the amount of these expenditures ex
of the matter, and Judge Marshall rules
that that is also the law OF the case.
If it were not so, and if the rule sought
to be established by the Board of
could be made the law OF
the State, then miner or a mining
might expend hundred thou
sand dollars in bringing the property
10 productive position, and would then
have to pay taxes on practically the |
same amount over again as net profits, |
since these development expenditures |
are Aot to be deducted from the net |
profit as the law was construed by the |
State Board of Equalization. Fortu-
lately, however, Judge Marshall ap-
olies the business-likc and common
sense ruling, and, above all, it is the
aw. Judge Marshall has made this
10 very clear that there can no longer
DC any controversy about it; and when
ve consider how oppressive, how exact
ng, how arbitrary, and how obstructive
he principle sought TO be enforced by !
he Board of Equalization would be as
.pplied against the mining industry, on
which it would impose double and even
riple taxation, every one in the State.
nd especially the miners. have reason
o congratulate themselves upon the
uling made by Judge Marshall, and
Ipon the judgment in this case.

HOW BRITONS VIEW THEM.

In the matter of the treatment OF
Japanese, it is interesting to no
tice that the antipathy toward
them is fully as great and pro
nounced in British Columbia as il
is in our Pacific States, The same
feeling is evident in Australia. as the
public press fully apprises US from time
to time. We have in this connection ar
enclosure from 2 correspondent showing
the feeling in Brisbane, Australia
where strong complaint is made against
Japanese intrusion by way of taking
pictures and roaming at will throughout
that place. whereas in Japan Britor

espionage from the moment he comes
ashore until he returns to his ship. In

WON'T BE CHEAPER CLOTHES.

Tho Tribune has often urged that
the admission of foreign wool into the
United States, free of duty, as pro.
posed in the Democratic tariff bill
would not in fact reduce the price of
clothing or of woolen goods of any
kind TO the ultimate buyer in this
country We have urged that sufi-
cient reason would always be put forth
TO the effect that the trade was obliged
to charge substantially the old prices
in order 10 make good on its expenses.
| This view is now fully confirmed by a
statement from Mr.. William Goldman,
President Of the National Association
of Clothiers, and Chairman of its Tariff
! Committee. Mr. Goldman sets forth
in full the conditions as they exist
now, contrasts them with the condi-
| tions which existed in 1894, when the
former Wilson bill was enacted, and
| concludes that "It is not reasonable
TO expect that the reduction in the
! cost of cloths during the first year after
the passage Of the bill will be greater
than the fluctuations that we fire.
quently witness in our own market
uninfluenced by tariff legislation - And
ne concludes, summing up his state
meut, by saying: lowing TO the free
wool basis, there will bo a reduction
in tho cost of cloth in the medium
range from ten cents to twenty-five
cents a yard, and the clothing manu-
fscturers can make a moderate saving
on Innings as we'll. This saving Of
fifty cents TO one dollar per suit in
the cloth value would he largely off.
set by the increased cost of labor in
making clothing. and il is reasonably
certain therefore, that the difference
in the cost Of clothing during the first
year following the adoption Of the
new bill viii not be appreciable.' - He
expects that there will be stiffen-
ing in the prices of foreign wools, this
evidently on the assumption that the
American production of wool will be
seriously crippled.
Mr. Goldman makes it very clear that
during the first year after the enforce
ment Of the proposed free wool, there
would be no appreciable reduction in
the cost OF clothing Doubtless the
same reasoning would apply to the
production of all kinds Of wooden goods.
And as there is no likelihood Of any
reduction during the first year, what
reason is there to expect reduction
the second year. the third year. or
any other yearV If we are not to
have any immediate benefit from free
wool in the price OF clothing and of
wooden goods after free wool goes into
effect, why should we expect such re-
duction at any timeG And if we are
not 10 have such reduction the first
year, and probably not in any other
year. what becomes Of the argument
that putting wool on the free list will
reduce the cost Of clothing and of wool. |
en- goods generally7
The truth is that the whole Demo
cratic assumption is mere theory, and
as soon as practical men, like Mr..
Goldman, get hold Of the proposition,
they at once show its practical alb.
surdity and that the theory does not
in fact apply to the practical affairs
Of industry and trade.
