WOODMAN SPARE THAT TREE.

"a thng-cut down a perfectly good

You probably have. And didn't you

trees, beauty and shade, you III
doubtedly did.
To the minds of a lot of people
about the first thing that can be
done to a street lined with fine trees
is to have one Of the property owners
hire a couple of men to use saws
and the axe.

A National Democratic slund.r.

One of the classic blunders of the
present administration is now before
the Court OF Customs Appeals, and a
decision is looked for at an early date.
The Court is expected to interpret
the meaning of the provision in the
Underwood Tariff bill proposing to
give a five per cent discount in GUS
toms duties on merchandise imported
in American vessels. Thus far that
clause has failed in it's purpose, just
as the tariff measure of which It is
part failed to provide adequate
revenue.
Enacted October 10. 1913, II failed
on its first test, and that test applied.
too, by the then Attorney General
less than thirty days after the bill
was signed.
No sooner had the tariff bill been
presented to the Secretary Of the
Treasury for administration than a
doubt arose in his mind as to the val
idity OF the five per cent discount pro-
vision. He appealed for advice to At

now on the Supreme Court Bench.
The provision was pronounced inop-
erative.
THE five per cent discount to
American vessels cannot be given"
is the language of the Attorney Cen
eral quoted by the Secretary, without
impairing the stipulations of existing
treaties between the United States
and various other powers, and conse-
quently the subsection is Imperative"
Acting on this opinion the Secre-
tary of the Treasury issued an order
to customs collectors instructing
them to make no allowance of dis
count on duties under this provision.
Importers who had relied on the law
appealed to the Board of General Ap-
praisers Their ruling resulted in
further confusion, and neither side be-
ing satisfied, the case was taken to
the Court of Customs Appeals, more
than a year after the law had passed.
The Democratic Committee report
on the five per cent provision defined
it as "a discrimination in favor of
American shipping, designed to build
up our merchant marine and keep at
home millions of dollars now being
paid to foreign vessels to carry our
products to foreign markets"
Yet although they fully realized the
tremendous Importance of this meas
ure which they said involved millions
of dollars, they lacked the foresight
to consult their own Attorney General
as to the possibility of enacting it
into law. They had a vague idea OF
what they wanted. adopted a vague
method of trying to secure it, and by
careless guess work threw the whole

DANGER OF MIXING SPRING

The unusual high price of wheat
during the present year has caused
many farmers. especially on the
plains region. to seriously contemplate
planting spring wheat even in those
sections where winter wheat is by
all odds the best adapted Such plant
ing must be looked upon as more or
less pernitious. In order TO obtain
good markets and in order to be able
to command good market prices,

few farmers in every community
could work serious injury to the com
munity by producing spring wheats.
They would injure not only them
selves but the community market as
well. because, unless spring wheat was
produced in sufficient quantity to JUS
tify separate cleaning and car filling.
1t would be mixed with the winter
wheat which came Ia. Such mixtures
always sell at lower price than pure
wheat OF either grade. On account OF

considered a bad practice. and bad

WASHINGTON LETTER

WILSON'S FOREIGN POLICY
Little by little the truth about Presi-
dent Wilson's foreign policy is COM
ing out. Genuine students of foreign
affairs have appreciated the facts for
some time, but writers on the subject
have been reluctant to expose the
humiliating truth. Now that it is evil
dent that all Europe knows the facts
and that it is only Americans who are
in the dark, however, they are begin
ming to tell the facts without further
effort to deceive the American public.
The great fundamental, deplorable and
uncontrovertible fact of the Wilson
foreign policy is that it has brought
this country perilously close to war.
Those who are best informed, includ-
ing the President and Secretary Lans-
ing, are those who most keenly re-
alize the danger. To make this clear
to those who have not had time nor
oppor tunity to study developments at
close range it is necessary briefly to
review the course of events in Wash
