THE TARIFF AND SOCIALISM.

1--WE cannot afford to have our import
duties fixed by those who are to be
primarily beneficiaries under them, and
we must never again permit even the
appearance of it. Neither car we afford
to be put in the position of protecting
waste, shiftlessness, poor organization,
bad methods or privileged class
against competition, whether foreign or
domestic. We cannot both guarantee a
reasonable profit through tariff legisla-
ton and keep a straight face when we
attack Socialism"
The above quotation is from notable
address recently delivered in Boston by
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, who this
year received the Republican electoral
votes for vice president.
Horatio Seymour used to speak very
plainly Of the evil Of what he called the
Communism Of protection. The good
old word Communism has largely given
way in political discussion these later
years to the word Socialism.
Call it Communism or Socialism, rs
you will, what Dr. Butler and others
call the principle Of protection is but
the distribution Of special privileges.
1t is great hindrance to the general
welfare

"What has been said above will APP
ply with equal force to the Democratic
press of Wisconsin. How any news
paper before election can advocate the
election of a Democratic president and
were the very essence of the issues in
the campaign and then after election
hesitate or refuse to endorse and an
plaud the action of the president in
attempting to carry out these pledes is
beyond my comprehension. 1t seems
to me that every Democratic news
paper claiming to be the exponent of
Democratic sentiments and Democratic
ideas should actively and persistently
aid and encourage the administration
to make good the promises of the party
The time has gone by when the people
will forget or ignore pre- election pro-
misses and pledges.
There is only one thing to do and
that is to carry out the provisions
the Democratic platform. That presi f
dent Wilson is earnestly and honestly
endeavoring to do this no fairminded
person questions. That any Democrat,
Democratic official or Democratic
newspaper opposing or hindering the
carrying out of the program is repud
iating the obligations of his party is
equally plain The rank and file is in
no mood to be tritled with. They ex-
pect and insist that every Democrat
who occupies position of power and
responsibility do his duty. Unless the
Democratic party fultills it's obliga
tions can not doubt that the American
people will see to it that their purposes
will be carried out by some other party.
IL have faith that the Democratic
party through it's faithful president and
representatives, will make good in
every respect, and by so doing will not
only retain the confidence of the
American people but will prove it's
worthiness to live and be continued in
power indefinitely

Good Team Work

Springfield Republican: The com
bination of House organization and
presidents influence has proved to be
in absolute control of the democratic
caucus on the tariff bill, and the meas
ure was taken up this week in the
House with practically a solid party
support for it. Under House rules, Il
month later should see the debate ended
and the bill sent over to the Senate sus
tanned by IA humping majority. The
Senate is still rather uncertain guam
tity, and it is impossible to say how
much obstruction by speciH interests
may be possible or to what extent com
promises may be forced upon the
House and the president. From n pure
ly political point of view, Of course, the
Senate situation is notably better for
the democrats than il was 10 years ago
when the last democratic revision
downward was attempted.

new LAND BILL
is NOW READY

CeSSiOn TO Administration.
BRYAN HAS DRAFT OF BILL

Provides Aliens Not Eligible to citi.
zenship May Hold Land as Provided
in Existing Treaties-State Does Not
Relinquish Its Rights to Make
Land Laws.
Sacramento, Cal. April 30. - The
new alien land bill, which will affect
only in a negative way those ineligi.
BILE to citizenship by legislation to de-
termine the rights of those aliens
eligible to citizen, is now in the hands
of Senator A. f. Boynton and is the
bill that will be showed through both
houses of the Legislature and signed
by the governor. 1t will be a strictly
administration measure, handled by
administration men. The counsel of
Mr.. Bryan has been heard but not en-.
tirely needed
The New Bill.
The new bill will provide that all
aliens eligible to citizenship may hold
land the same as native foreign born
citizens. That all other aliens may
hold land as provided in the existing
treaties and not otherwise; that the
state does not relinquish any right to
regulate the ownership of land in this
state by the enactment of the law
notwithstanding any treaty now in
effect or to made later. The draft of
the bill has been submitted to Sec
rotary of State Bryan and he has had
1t telegraphed to President Wilson. A
reply has been received, the nature of
which has not been made known, but
which it is expected will be divulged
to the members of the legislature at
secret session.
Bryan Is Mum.
Secretary Bryan laid the corner
stone of the new Y. NJ C. A. building
here and during the remainder of the
day until late in the evening, was en-
gagged in conference with leading
Democrats of the state and with DR..
David Starr Jordan and others. He
has not declared what his attitude
will be upon the bill presented and
which follows out the ideas expressed
by Governor Johnson at the secret
session, when he declared the state
has the right and will legislate to pre-
vent the acquisition of land in this
state by aliens ineligible to citizen
ship.
Secretary Bryan has announced
that he would return here from San
Francisco Thursday morning and
would remain until some definite ac-
ton is taken on the alien land bill.
David Starr Jordan, who came to
Sacramento at the suggestion of Sec
rotary Bryan to counsel with him,
condemns the bill which the state ad-
ministration declares it will pass. He
says it carries the sting of discrim-
ination. which might have been
avoided if Bryan's advise had been
needed In view OF the fact that DR..
Jordan and Bryan have been in ac
cord in their utterances in the last
two days, it may be assumed that
Jordan says of this bill is what Bryan
thinks of it.
