DEMOCRATS
UN7RIED MOB
So Says Senator Tillman
of Congress.
Laws Enacted Last Two Years
Crude And Faulty To
y Last Degree.

| washington, II. u, June 4.-AS
compared with the Republicans we
are an unframed mob with little
knowledge of parliamentary law and
with very little effective knowledge
of the rules
Senator Tillman, Democratic SEN
ator from South Carolina, spoke
these words in an address to the
United States Senate. In the light
of subsequent events they have be-
come warning and prophecy.
The laws enacted within the last
two years are crude and faulty to the
last degree. AS illustrative of this
fact, few notable examples Of the
many plumbers contained in the tariff
bill alone have been hitherto pub
lished.
Lest we forget" brief summary
of these examples follows, merely to
emphasize the general principle of
inaccuracy prevailing in the Demo-
cratic laws:
The tariff bill as whole was q
blunder. because it was a revenue
measure that produces many millions
of dollars less than were needed, a
depleted Treasury being the re-
suit.
The provision for five per
cent discount in duties on mercban
disc imported in Americana vessels,
involving millions OF dollars. was de-
clared imperative by the Attorney
General over year ago. and went
to the Court of Customs Appeals.
Another provision affecting hum
dreds of business concerns is before
the same court because of the In
sertion of an obscure phrase that
neither customs officials, lawyers nor
business men affected could UNDER
stand. f
A vital provision in the income
tax law, a part of the tariff bill. re-
iating to, deductions allowed in COM
putting gross income. must go to the
courts like hundreds of dollars.
The entire income tax provision
has been pronounced the Taxation
Committee of the American Bar As J.,
ISOLATION. a nonpartisan body, "as
open to the gravest objections both
in structure and specific defects"
twenty-five imperfections being point
ed out.
Necessity for amending the law
has forced administration officials to
the work of formulating report of
its crudities, as q basis for amend
ment by Congress.
On innumerable occasions during
the debate on the tariff and other
bills. Republican floor leader James
R. Mann of Illinois cautioned the
majority to use greater care. and
gave on reason for the dividing line
between the two sides of the House
as "a lack of information on the
part of the Democrats.
Like Senator Tillman's utterance.
these words have assumed prophetic
meaning. Literally hundreds of 9TH
er blunders in the tariff bill might
be cited. Typical results that fol-
lowed the employment of slovenly.
inaccurate methods of legislation.
Practically every important statute
passed by the present administration
is likewise honeycombed with need
less imperfections, that must be cor
rected by expensive legal procedure
or legislative action. They are facts
with which everyone should become
and with the object In view
the subject will be dealt with in flu
ture articles.

EUROPE'S SLAUGHTER LIST

The 10000 pages of names Of Austrian and Hungarian soldiers kneL
wounded and otherwise incapactated that have been filed in the congress
sional library by the Austrian embassy form only the preliminary chap
tiers of this war, and they relate to only a minor part of the forces en-
gagged. However heavy, they are only a small fraction of the total losses
on both sides .
The Prussian lists, Of which l42 have 20 far been published, are
necessarily incomplete and not up to date, but they account for 953 III
casualties. To be added to these frghtful figures are l4S Bavanan, 1903
Saxon, los Wurttemberg and II navy lists.
On the other side, Premier Asquith stated lin the House of Commons
this week that the British casualties up to February 4th amounted to
about 100000 men, and the great bulk of the British army has not yet
been under fire. OF the French and Russian losses during the six
months of continuous fighting no official figures have been issued, but
they must have been on the same enormous scale. The sacrifices made
by Belgium, Servia and Turkey remain to be reckoned in the appalling

than avail himself Of the employers liability act was told in effect by
a decision rendered 10y Superior Judge Shenk of Los Angeles that the
proper thing or workingmen to do is to seek compensation under the
liability law. Hugens had declined to apply to the accident commission
on the ground that the law wa unconstitutional. The decision ws
regarded as important because it upheld the consttutonahty of The
compensation act, and at the same time indicated that the supposed
choice between two methods of legally recovering damages does not
exist.

General Trade Conditions.

R. G. Dun & Co. say: Domestic
trade gains slowly, but war orders and
food exports continue very heavy in
all branches of business. The big adj
vance in cotton is a great relief to the
depression in the south, while in the
west high prices for farm products
make for continued activity and in
spite of low temperature in the winter
wheat section crop prospects are re-
garded as favorable.
A notable expansion of stock ex-
change activity is a speculative ex-
preston both If the improving bust
ness condition and of the increasing
hopes of peace. The action in remov-
ing all restrictions upon STOCK trading
means a complete return to normal
market conditions.
Bank clearingS, commercial failures
and other statistics of business, how
ever, still reveal the wide extent and
effect of the depression that was pro-
duced by the war, but it is significant
that these indications of trade activity
are growing better month by month.
1t is noteworthy that American bank
ers are arranging large credis for Eu-
ropean buyers of American commodi-
ties.
Settlement of the wage scale with
sheet and tin plate workers, permit
ting independent plants to resume,
was the most noteworthy development
of the week in iron and steel.
Considerable activity has prevailed
in the retail dry goods trade and re-
ports indicate a steady movement,
with an increase on the better staple
merchandise.
Wholesalers are displaying more in
terest in the footwear market and an
increased volume of business soon is
expected.
Bank clearings for the week total
$2,640,792 ,s91, a decrease of 1874 per
cent, as compared with the same week
last year.

DEADLY BARB WIRE

Indiana Firm Expects to Turn Out
Enormous Quantities of Its

1t has remained for an American to

t~ortl1cation that can be used in the
present European war.
Since the latest inventions in big
siege guns have made ordnance forti-
ncatlons not only useless but death
traps to their garrisons barbed wire
entanglements have come into general
use to hold the enemy at bay.
But where was the kind of barbed
wire necessary for this work to be
found? A Kokomo (Ind,) manufacture
er has answered the question to the
satisfaction OF some OF the nations at
least.
A plant at Kokomo manufacturing
wire has just completed special ma
chlnery for turning out a m%urderous
type of barbed wire for use in the
European conflict. The drawing shows
the wire in its actual size. This spe-
cial wire has barbs more than an
inch long, wound on a one-eighth-inch
steel rod. The barbs are placed in
sets of four at one-inch intervals along
the steel core, the points standing out
at right angles. The barbs are sharp
