Naohonk Lake Speaker Advocates In
ternationaI Council.
Mohonk Lake, N. Y, Oct. 24.-Con-
troll of the Philippines by an interna-
tDnal council was proposed at the
Lake Mohonk conference of Friends
of the Indians and Other Dependent
Peoples.
The suggestion came from A. S.
I-anier of Richmond, Va, assistant
solicitor Of the United States depart
nent Of agriculture, who spent several
years in the Philippines as assistant
secretary of the bureau of justice +
Nj. Lanier made it known that he
had just submitted his plan to Presi-
dent Wilson and to the departments
of state and war. He offered it as a
solution Of a problem which he' con-
sidered not only .perplexing but men
acing and the one of all others most
likely to embroil this country with
Japan.
, The plan provides for a council
composed OF members selected by the
United States, England, France, Ger
many, Russia and Japan and possibly
other nations.

The Memorial Bridge.

Appropriately following closely upon

duction in the House by Representative
Mccall of a resolution creating a com
mission for the building of a memorial
bridge between the Lincoln temple and
Arlington. This is a natural sequel to
the Lincoln memorial action. Indeed
it should have been simultaneous with
the project of COMMUNICATING the

The Dinner to the President.

The citizens of Washington are to give
a dinner to the President of the United
States shortly before his retirement from
office as means of expressing their ap-
probation of his services as the chief
This is a happy custom to establish and
1t follows appropriately the dinner that

old days when the District possessed a

presidential term for those bodies TO pass
resolutions thanking the retiring chief
executive for what he had done for
Washington in the course of his service

has won this distinction by virtue of the
difference in time between that state and

A congressional joint resolution propos-
ing to amend the Constitution is without
limit as to time. AS soon as the joint
resolution adopted by Congress by two
thirds vote in each house has been ap-
proved by the President 1t acquires viz
tual perpetuity. and ratification can be

sion for the recalling of an amendment
resolution, and thus as far as precedents
now go all Congresses are bound in this
respect by the action of any predecessor.
On the other hand any state may at any
time prior to action by three-fourths of the
legislatures withdraw its consent to rati-
fication previously recorded. This was
done by New Jersey. Oregon and Ohio

Ohio and New Jersey in the case of the

The Income Tax.

An assured income tax at once simplifes
and complexities the tariff problem No
anxiety need he felt now respecting the
raising of sufficient revenue. The ques-
ton is one merely of adjustment. Rates
may be raised or lowered as needs and
experience suggest If at first they are
fixed too low. the next Congress can
remedy the matter without going into the
feature of customs duties. If they are
fixed too high. and too much money is
collected from incomes. they can be put
at the proper figure in the same way.
Here then is the chance for the low
tariff men. They will be able to insist
now on their full program. What if
deep cut in wool and wooiens reduces the
amount of revenue from that source?
What if deep cut in cotton goods pro-
duces the same result? Why longer con-
slider the sugar tax principally from the
revenue point of view? 4 hundred mil
lions. or more. may be spared now from
those and other sources without incon-
venience so far as the liberal support OF
the government is concerned.
But how about protection as protection?
That must be considered. If customs
duties are made too low. and a compet-
tive tariff makes competition too brisk
for American dividends and the Ameri
can wage scales. what will be the effect
on capital and labor? Capital insists on
being employed profitably. and labor in
sists on good wages gauged by the Amer
lean standard of living.
The matter must be solved and Mr..
Underwood and his friends have the first

lar. 1t comes into existence by the action

party divisions other questions.
Some discussion may arise to wheth-
er the Gorman-Wilson tariff law would
have made good If the income tax fea-
ture of it had been sustained by the STU

by the court crippled the new law a

awkwardly arranged in an effort to soften

icy: and the general result. as in all
cases of huggermugger compromise,

The new amendment to the Constitution
is a very important one. and may develop
questions and conditions far beyond the
aims and ideas OF its authors and abet-
tors Much interest attaches to the first
application of it.

The Loan Shark Bill a Law.

Tie Presidents signature of the loan
shark bill today is a gratifying conclusion
of long fight for the cure Of grave
evil in the District of Columbia. The
rno< ement in the beginning was designed
to prevent the collection OF from I'D TO
90 per cent year as interest from those
who are forced by circumstances 10 OBJ
tain small loans 10 meet emergencies.
people of slender incomes and without
bank accounts or other reserves upon
which to draw in case of pressing neces-
sfty The original proposition of those
who advocated this new law for the Dis
trio: was to limit the interest on loans of
this character to per cent month and
il was not designed TO include pawnbrok-
ers in the scope OF the statute But Con-
gress in its wisdom has framed the biii
limiting the legal interest charge 10 l.
per cent "A wear and has included pawn
brokers in its operations.
1t should be possible to show from the
experiences of other cities that II pei
cent will secure loans on chattel secur-
itv. or no security at all. to the extent TO
make money available for borrowers. and
if that showing is made. ii l. per cent
will keep lenders without security in
business. il should surely suffice for the
paWnbrOkerS who nave IuI security Ill
their possession The wise decision OF the
President is that il is better to go ahead
and test out the matter on the basis OF
the limitation to IL per cent. and the in
clusion of the pawnbrokers rather than to
undo all the work of Congress in the way
of preventing extortions.
The question can be very quickly tested
as to whether the money needed by the
small borrowers who have no security to
offer will be available at - per cent. If
not il will be easy to amend the statute
IN that direction. and meanwhile large
sums will be saved to borrowers in the
form of usurious interest. and numbers of
people will be spared great distress OF
mind and acute privations Had the sup
posed defects of the new law been
garded as of sufficient gravity TO warrant
the disapproval of the bill it would have
been necessary to begin over again at the
beginning in order to obtain a more sat
isfactory form of regulation. 1t has taken
several years to secure this enactment.
and the rejection of this measure. on the
ground of possible imperfection. would
have compelled a repetition of the long
and weary struggle, 1t is far better to
be pinched. if at all. at the II per cent
end of the line than at the 40 or 240 per

that Pauline, who has ministered to the
Taft family for some years, is to re-

woods of Wisconsin to become once
more a member of the encourage of
Senator Stephenson. Doubtless Mr.. Taft
felt that the academic atmosphere of
New Haven would prove unsatisfactory
to Pauline. who has notably dropped at
the White House. However. she has
done her duty. she has seen it, and
is entitled to credit. There ought to be
