HoYNE BURSTS ANOTHER BOMB

HoYne as a feature of his war on
taxdodgers held a conference with
the Board Of Review and the Board
of Assessors. He suddenly shocked
both these bodies by making the fol-
lowing statement:
There is a certain Illinois corpora
ton with an authorized capitalize ton
Of ,S5,00O,000 of which $4,000, 900 is
fully paid. The records Of the Board
of Assessors show that the corpora
ton was originally assessed at a val
uation of $500,D00 Later, the books
show, this assessment was reduced to
$50, 1000, and the records Of the Board
of Review show that it was still
further reduced by that body to $751;
600, on which amount taxes were
paid. That is not right. We do not

California; Lancaster, Pennsylvania;

have been under cultivation much
longer than Whitman and TIE farm
ers long ago adopted the intensive
system of agriculture, which is Just
Icing introduced here.
No well informed person questions
that, when the farmers of Whitman
county turn their attention to the
production of live stock and dairy
products, and cease using all their
land to grow grain year after year,
the value of the agricultural pro-
ducts of the county will increase by
leaps and bounds, and that the grain
yield per acre will also be materially
increased. Whitman county has the
soil and climate to produce crops of
greater value than those of any
county in the United States. 1t is
simply up to the people to make it
the leading agricultural county of
the nation. 1t is now a question OF
farming methods, not of resources.

RADIUM FOR AMERI-
CANS.

Secretary Lane of the Interior De-
partment expresses himself in no UNI
certain terms in his belief that the
American people will strongly sup
port him in the broad-gage policy
that aims to extract from lands now
in public ownership sufficient Ameri-
can radium for American hospitals,
in order that the poorest patients
may secure promptly the treatment
now necessarily limited to the
selected few.
In a reply to protest against the
proposed legislation allowing with
drawal of public lands known or be-
lieved to contain radium ores, Sec
rotary Lane states the issue as one
which is believed to be that of life
and death to hundreds of thousands
of Americans.
The apprehension seems to be, the
secretary states, that vast areas in
"any part" of Colorado are to be
closed to entry ION suspicion" and
thus prospecting not only for radium
but for the precious and semi-prec-
ious metals as we'll will be stopped
The distribution of misunderstanding
minerals as now known in Colorado
is fairly well defined and there is no
intention in the interior department
to apply Withdrawals outside Of the
relatively small areas known to con-
tain these minerals.

is already entirely owned by indi-
viduals and corporations and a single

THE FREE TOLLS QUESTION

The granting of the free use of the
Panama canal to American vessels
engaged in Coastwise traffic has been
. popular policy with the people and
at first glance appeared to be per-
fectly fair and just. The United
States built the canal and why
should it not have the privilege Of
regulating the tolls and discriminat-
ing in favor of American vessels?
President Wilson contends that this
can not be done for the very good
reason that our treaty with the Eng
lish government prohibits it, and
study of the Clayton-BulWer and
Hay auncefOte treaties shows that
he is right.
When the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
was negotiated in 1850 it was with
the idea that the United States and
Great Britain should jointly con-
struct a canal or railroad to join the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans. In
1900 the government of Great
Britain was induced to abrogate this
treaty and to negotiate a new
convention, known as the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, by the terms of
Y hich the United States was to alone
construct an inter-oceanic canal
The wording of the clause guaran-
teeing the use of the canal to all
cations without discrimination, is
such that it leaves room for argd-
ment as to whether the granting OF
free tolls to American vessels en-
gagged in coastwise trade is viola
ton of the treaty. The English gov
ernm ent contends that it is, while
n.any prominent Americans hold
that it is not. But a reference to
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty throws
scme additional light on the intent
OF the new treaty.
In the preamble to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty it is stated that
the purpose of that treaty is to re-
move any objection which might
arise under the provisions OF the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, to the con-
struction Of the canal by the United
States, without impairing the gen
eral principle of naturalization es-
tablished in Article VIII of that con-
yention. Article VIII of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty reads:
THE governments of the United
States and Great Britain having not
only desired, in entering into this
convention, to accomplish particu-
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1914-03-27

lar object, but also to establish a
efeat principle, they hereby agree to
extend their protection, by treaty
stipulations, to any other practicable
communications. whether by canal
o. railway, across the isthmus which
connects North and South America.
In granting, however, their
Joint protection to any such canals
or railways as are by this article
specified, it is always understood by
the United States and Great Britain
That the parties constructing or own
lng the same shall impose no other
charges or conditions of traffic
thereupon than the aforesaid gov
ernments shall approve OF as just
aid equitable; and that the same
canals or railways. being open to
the citizens and subjects OF the
United States and Great Britain on
equal terms, shall also be open on
like terms to the citizens and sub
Jects OF every other state which is
willing to grant thereto such pro-
lection as the United States and
Great Britain engage to afford"
This language is plain and leaves
no room for quibbling. 1t says tnat
the canal is to be open on equal
terms to the citizens and subjects Of
the United States and Great Britain
and shall be open on like terms to
the citizens and subjects OF other
states complying with stated cond!-
tons. This government should say
what it means and mean what It
says and can not afford to Justify
the reputation OF eyading its agree
ments. Great Britain claims that
the granting of free tolls to Amer
lean vessels engaged in coast-wise
trade would be a violation OF both
the spirit and letter of the treaty,
and the claim seems we'll founded.
The honor of the nation is at stake
and must be maintained at any cost,
but in this case the cost happens to
be light, for the proposed free tolls
would benefit only a monopoly.
What should be done is to repeal
the laws which provide that all in
terstate shipments must be carried
in American vessels, and prohibit
the purchase of foreign built vessels
to sail under the American flag. The
removal of this protection to the
shipping industry would result in
substantial benefits to the farmers
and consumers of the country.

The official statistics of 1913 as
to our exports of uranium and yaua-

a larger content of radium in the
Colorado ores shipped to Europe
than in the somewhat greater ton
mage OF ores treated or kept in this
country. The Joint resolution sub
mitted by the secretary for the con
sideraton OF congress contains au-
thority not only for the president to
withdraw radium lands from further
private appropriation. but also for
the secretary of the interior to lease
these lands or otherwise provide for
the mining of the ores so as to secure
the needed supply Of radum for the
government and hospitals Of the

serve by reason of the urgent nature
Of the matter would demand that
there be no delay in opening the de-
posits to purposeful utilization. The

not reservation from use. but rather
