locker OF that increasing accumulation
of wealth in the hands of section OF
the community naturally given to
altruism and increasingly interested
in civic affairs. Analysis of the list
of conspicuous donors shows that
among them are descendants OF the
Pilgrims and Puritans and also of
more recent emigrants from Germany
Russia and Ireland. Strains Of human
stock that formed the habit in early
New England of financing new col
leges and churches in the Mississippi
valley and in the far west are still
obedient to the vision of wealth ac-
auired for social ends. But none the
less SO are Americans who sought the
land at later date and whose faculty
for assimilation OF ideas and ideals is
no less remarkable tnan their capacity
to acquire wealth.
Comparing the list of objects now
showered with gifts with those of a
decade or two ago, the esthetic and
civic classes show relatively high
gains. Religion, education and char

TARIFF PROTEST MADE
BY JAPAN AND FRANCE
Each Declares Discrimination
in Favor of American Ships
a Treaty Violation.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

! Washington, oct l6.-Japan and France
have added formal written protests 10
those submitted to the State Department
by other countries against the provision OF
the tariff law which grants to goods car
ried in American vessels a discount OF ,
per cent in the customs duties. Each OF
these countries says that the new law is
in violation Of an existing treaty. In the
case OF Japan il is the treaty OF 1911.
France goes back TO the Convention OF
Navigation and Commerce Of 1922.
What will be done about the complca-
ton depends primarily on the interpreted
ton of the law by the Attorney General.
A week ago the Treasury Department
asked the Department Of Justice for
decision I'm the matter. but II has not
yet been made
President Wilson'S stand is matter
of conjecture Joseph w Folk. solicitor
of the State Department. announced a
week ago that the only solution was TO
repeal the law and he had conference
with the President on the subject. After
that conference Mr.. Folk consulted the
leaders of the Senate and House and Of
fcials Of the Treasury Department 10
urge n repeal because the clause violated
numerous treaties. II has been officially
stated that Mr. Folk did this with the
knowledge and consent OF the President.
Mr. Folk found a stumbling block In
Representative Underwood. Trainer OF the
tariff bill Mr. Underwood said that ne
would not stand for repeal: that the
clause was put I'm with full knowledge;
that il was not In violation Of treaties.
and that It was designed 10 give the State
Department a weapon TO be used in max
ing new treaties and thus obtaining con-
cessions from other countries. There
after il was stated that the President
was against repeal. The President was
asked to-day about his attitude, but he
declined 10 commit himself

paign purposes. | am unwilling to accept
the view that the constitution arbitrarily
forbade the Assembly to impeach or Tor
bids this court TO try the respondent be-
cause that offence was committed before
he actually entered upon his office. The
offence was committed after his election
and therefore that arSument-Wihch
might sometimes apply-that the people
by electing him had aPsolved him from
his fault does not apply here
81 think that the offence with which he
has been convicted on the facts, OF yio-
lating this statute. rises TO the dignity
of an improbable offence. II hardly
seems to me pertinent or very relevant
10 discuss the possibility that some public
offcia might be impeached. and tried Tor
some remote. or trivial. or political. or
personal fault: that is not the question
which is presented here.
1T seems 10 ma that this statute which
we are considering had two purposes; one
was by compelling a candidate to state
the contributions which he had received
to furnish the starting point for the de-
termination, whether. in his expenditures.
he had been guilty OF corruption or
bribery, or fraud. and. in that aspect.
the statute applied to every candidate
whether successful or not, and not espe-
cially to the respondent as a successful
candidate
But it seems TO me that the statute
had that other aspect. which has been
referred to. of compelling a candidate to
disclose the contributions which had been
made 10 his campaign. and in that way
10 disclose those influences which con
tributed to his election, and which. per-
haps, might attend and follow him as he
entered upon his Office while he was in
the office and during the performance Of
his official acts. and influence which
might enter into the performance OF those
acts. and In that respect 1t applied espe-
cially to the responder, as the successful
candidate and. as l say, rises to the
dignity of an Improbable offence.
Il am not deferred. as perhaps others
may have been by the fear that we are
setting dangerous precedent 1t seems
to me, as / have indicated. that the
statute and the viola ton Of II related to
the official tenure and TO the official acts
OF the respondent II this view shall
seem TO be wrong in its Interpretation
Of the constitution, II the people OF this
state feel that we are indeed setting
dangerous precedent I'm adopting that
view. we are on the eve OF a consttu-
tional convention. and they can write into
the constitution in language which will
be subject TO no mistake that no official
shall be impeached or tried for any
offence which he has committed before he
entered upon his office"
