WILSON WILL WELCOME
TAFT BACK TO CITY
Former President Is Head of Ameri-
can Bar Association, Which
Meets Here October 19.

President Wilson and former Presi-
dent TAFT are to speak from the same
platform In Washington next week.
The occasion will be the combined
meetings of the commissioners on uni
form state laws and the American Bar
Association. The invitation to Presi-
dent Wilson to speak was extended by
former President Taft, as president of
the American Bar Association, and
the President will deliver an address
OF welcome to the meeting pre-
sided over by the former President.
The sessions will begin October 10.
These two organizations are closely
affiliated.
Among the important questions to be
brought before the commissioners this
compensation, incorporation, partner
snip, cold storage, as forming part of
the pure food regulations, and the ad-
visa ability of Incorporating into the
marriage and divorce act the principles
of eugenics.
Ten Uniform Laws.
During the twenty-four years of its
existence the commission has adopted
and presented to the different state
legislatures ten uniform acts. In the
order OF their adoption, with the num-
Der of states that have placed them
upon their statute books, they are:
Negotiable instruments. 46 states;

lading, IL states; sales of goods, IL
states; certificates of stock, 9 states;
divorce, states; child labor, family
desertion, states; probate of foreign
wills. 9 states, and marriage evasion, 3
states.
The uniform laws commission had
its origin in committee appointed
American Bar Association to discuss
the need of greater uniformity in state
laws. AS a result of it's action the
legislature of New York state created
board of commissioners In 1889 and
invited the other states to meet to
consider the subjects upon which uni
formity was desirable. Every one of

Wear and Use
More Cotton Goods

Every woman who buys
and uses cotton goods at
this time is helping to re-
vive American industries.
She is helping the south to
move its cotton crop; she
is giving impetus to the mills
and spinners.
Cotton has a multitude of
uses-it is the worlds great
staple.
Today, because of the
European war, it is lower
in price than in many years.
That means lower prices
for manufactured cottons-
better buying opportunities
than in many a day.
The stores are offering
many attractive values in
cotton goods, as can be
seen by the advertising in

Tax on Circulation.

I'VE respectfully suggest that the
paragraph relating to shipment OF
newspapers be changed so that the pay
ment of tax does not demand the issu-
ance of manifests or bills of lading:
that instead of placing stamps thereon
for cancellation each newspaper be
taxed on its sworn circulation state
ment now made semi-annually to the
United States government, and paid
daily. weekly. monthly, mi-annually
or annually. as may be imposed, either
applying on past business or payable in
advance.
TT is worthy of note that newspapers
mailed through the United States post
office are received and delivered with
out afhxing any stamps, special ar
rangement for weekly payment being
In effect: The recognition on the part
of the Post Office Department of the
necessities of a daily newspaper es-
tablishes a precedent that might con-
sistently be applied in the application
of the proposed tax legislation"

Have No Objections to Paying Fair
Share Of Revenue, But Oppose
Proposed Requirement.

Newspaper publishers are asking the
senate to change the section Of the
House war revenue bill providing for q
| stamp tax on the bills of lading on all
packages so that 1t will not be neces-

| dies OF newspaper. The newspaper own

tax, they say. but to the method Of Its
enforcement. They contend that the
| transportation companies will not hold
| their cars until the newspapers in bun
dies are checked, stamped and re-
ceipted for.
The publishers Of Pittsburgh, Pa, are
active In the effort to have this pro-
vision changed. They suggest that q
tax could be imposed on the basis Of
sworn circulation, instead of the tax
now in the bill
Pittsburgh Publishers Statement.
A statement issued by the Pittsburgh
publishers, giving their objections to
the House bill and offering suggestions
for change, follows:
THE law as proposed is impracticable
as applied to shipment OF daily news
papers, which in all sections Of the
country are handled by transportation
companies in a method quite different
from that applied to all other mer-
chandise. Manifests or bills of lading
are not issued by railroad companies.
Newspapers are not delivered in
freight Offices. They are taken direct
to trains passenger trains) at last
possible moment before departure. Fa-
cilities for issuing bills OF lading or
receipts are lacking at trains.
ITO comply with provisions of the
proposed law would require newspaper
publishers to go to press many hours
before time of shipment, and their
worth. Many hours time and great
labor would be required to make out
manifests for each bundle and afix
stamps thereto. with still additional
delay made necessary by cancellation

Russo-Japanese War 10O4-5.
In 1894, Corea renounced her al
legiance to China, proclaimed her in
dependence and called upon Japan
for aid. A war ensued between China
and Japan which lasted till 1895,
when a treaty of peace was signed.
The independence of Corea was rec
ognized and China ceded to Japan
the Pescadores, the Lao Tung pen
insula and Kiao-Chow and agreed to
pay an indemnity of 2OO,0OO,OOO
taels, equal to $14O,OOO,OOO.
Germany under pretex of main
tanning the integrity of China with
the concurrence of France and Rus
sia, compelled japan to give up the
Lao Tung peninsula on which is sit
uated the fortress of Port Arthur,
and Kiao-Chow on the peninsula of
Shantung. Shortly after Russia oc-
cupied and held Lao Tung and Ger
many exacted from China Kiao-C Chow
as indemnity for the murder of two
German missionaries.
Not long afterward disputes arose
between Russia and Japan over the
boundaries of Corea, in which king
dom Japan had a paternal interest.
The strained relations between the
Colossus of the West, and the EN-
pire of the Rising Sun eliminated
in the Russo-Japanese war of 19O4-5,
one Of the bloodiest wars of modern
times. Japan beat her unwieldy an
tagonist by land and by sea.
The battles of the Sha-Ho. the bat
ties of Mukden, the naval engage
ment of Tsu-Shima, and the storm
ing Of Port Arthur, in all of which
the japanese were victorious, rank
among the greatest victories in anci-
ent or modern times.

dated by the United States, Russia
conceded almost everything which
Japan demanded, and was compelled
to undergo the most humiliating dis
aster in her history.
