Only pisnified Way To Address Both

simple. l think that that is the only
dignified way for the President to ad-
dress the houses at the opening of the
session instead of sending the address
up by messenger and letting the clerk

DELICATE QUESTION RAISED.
Considers the Contemplated Law Pro-
hibitins Alien Ownership OF Land
As Being Aimed Against the
Japanese.

Washington.-The Japanese govern
ment has lodged formal protest with
the State Department against the pro-
posed enactment by the State of Cali
fornia of what it considers anti-Japan-
ese legislation, the measure prohibit
ing the alien ownership of land in Cali
fornia.
1t was learned here that this pro-
test was made nearly fortnight ago.
Secretary Bryan and Viscount Chin
da, the Japanese ambassador. were
closeted at the State Department in a
private conference, the subject OF
which neither would discuss.
1t is known that Secretary Bryan
is giving close attention to this deli
cate subject, studying carefully the
history OF the negotiations that took
place between Secretary Root and
Baron Takahira in the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, when severe strain
was placed upon the relations be-
tween America and Japan by the at
tempt Of the California authorities
to exclude Japanese children from the
public schools.
The next step may be communt
cation from the Secretary of the
State to the Governor Of California
calling his attention to the interna-
tional questions involved in the pro-
posed action Of the legislature.

very far indeed from the field In which
our prosperity might have had nor
NAL growth and stimulation No one
who looks the facts squarely in the
face or knows anything that lies be-
meath the surface Of action can fail to
perceive the principles upon which
recent tariff legislation has been
based. We long ago passed beyond
the modest notion of protecting" the
industries of the country and moved
boldly forward to the idea that they
were entitled to the direct patronage
of the government. For long time
a time SO long that the men now active
in public policy hardly remember the
conditions that preceded tive have
sought in our tariff schedules to give
each group of manufacturers or pro-
ducers what they themselves thought
that they needed in order to
maintain a practically exclusive
market as against the rest of the
world. Consciously or, unconsciously,
we have built up a set of privileges
and exemptions from competition be-
hind which it was easy by any, even
the crudest, forms of combination to
organize monopoly; until at last moth
ing is normal, nothing is obliged to
stand the tests of efficiency and econ
omy, in our world of big business, but
everything thriyes by concerted ar
rangement. Only new principles of
action will save us from a final hard
crystallization of monopoly and a
complete loss of the influences that
quicken enterprise and keep inde-
pendent energy alive.
1t is plain what those principles
must be. We must abolish everything
that bears even the semblance Of priv
ilege or of any kind of artificial ad-
vantage, and put our business men
and producers under the stimulation
of constant necessity to be efficient,
economical, and enterprlsing. masters
of competitive supremacy, better
workers and merchants than any in
the world. Aside from the duties laid
upon articles which we do not, and
probably cannot, produce, therefore,
and the duties laid upon luxuries and
merely for the sake of the revenues
they yield, the object of the tariff du-
ties henceforth laid must be effective
competition, the whetting of Ameri-
can wits by contest with the wits of
the rest of the world.
Development, Not Revolution.
1t would be unwise to move toward
this end headlong, with reckless
haste, or with strokes that cut at the
very roots of what has grown up
amongst US by long process and at
our own invitation. 1t does not alter

FIRST MESSAGE IN
WILSON WASTES FEW WORDS IN
TELLING CONGRESS WHAT 1T
SHOULD DO.
TARIFF REVISION HIS TOPIC
President Says the Schedules Must Be
Radically Changed to Square With
Present Conditions, but Work Re-
quires Careful Consideration.

Washington, April s.-President
Wilson's first message to the Sixty
third congress, assembled in extraor-
dInary session, was read in the senate
and house today. 1t was surprising
ly short, being in full as follows:
To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
have called the congress together
in extraordinary session because a
duty was laid upon the party now in
power at the recent elections which it
ought to perform promptly, In order
that the burden carried by the people
under existing law may be lightened
as soon as possible and in order, also,
that the business interests Of the
country may not be kept too long in
suspense as to what the fiscal changes
are to be to which they will be re-
quired to adjust themselves. 1t is clear
to the whole country that the tariff
duties must be altered, They must
be changed to meet the radical altera-
tion in the conditions Of our economic
life which the country has witnessed
within the last generation.
While the whole face and method OF
our Industrial and commercial life
were being changed beyond recogni-
tlon the tariff schedules have re
manned what they were before the
change began, or have moved in the
direction they we're given when nc
large circumstance of our industrial
development was what 1t is today
Our task is to square them with the
actual facts. The sooner that is done
the sooner we shall escape from suf
fering from the facts and the sooner
our men Of business will be free tc
thrive BY the law OF nature 1.-THE na
