Appeal of Mr.. Kitchin.

Representative Kitchin, in his introduc-
ton of the measure, declared that the
continuation of the war makes necessary
a continuation of the war tax.
We democrats know. of course, that
this bill is unpopular he said. "and we
know that no tax is popular in time Of
peace. 1t is impossible to write a Dill
that will appeal TO the judgment OF every
man, but the country has placed this
government and its finances in the con-
troll of the democratic party. The neces-
sity exists to raise a certain amount OF
revenue. The deficits are there, and
believe we should be unworthy OF the
record of the democrats under this ad-
mnistration if we do not have the courage
and the patriotism to do an unpopular
thing and arrange sufficient revenue to
meet the necessities of the government"

and the income tax collectors swelled
the balance to 100000 by the end

Interior Department Is Waiting on
Congress for the Money, Secretary
Lane Reports.

Only the authority of Congress to
spend the money is needed for the In
terror Department to go ahead and de-
velop the national parks o. the country
into grand national Fairgrounds as
well as the public laboratories of ma
ture study, according to Secretary Lane
in that portion of his annual report on
national parks. made public today
He directs attention to the millions
of dollars which were kept in this
country this year as a result of the
war, because the people could not get
to the scenic beauties of the foreign
lands, and says that revelations were
made to them when they spent it in
visiting the wonders of the national
parks of the country.

Destiny of National Parks.

1T is the destiny of the national

to become the public laboratories Of
nature study for the nation. And from
them specimens may be distributed to
the city and state preserves, as is now
being done with the elk Of the Yellow
stone. which are too abundant, and
maybe later with the antelope.
IF Congress will but make the funds
available for the construction of roads
over which automobiles may travel
with safety Cfor all the parks are now
open to rnotors) and for trails to hunt
out the hidden places of beauty and
dignity we may expect that year by

LAW NOW SUGGESTED
T0PREVENT DUMPING
Bill May Be Drawn Making It Grim
inal 0ffense to Sell Foreign-Made
Goods Here Lower Than Cost.

Serious consideration is being given
by officials of the Department OF COM
merce and the federal trade commission
to the drawing of bill that will make
it criminal offense for importers 10
dispose in this country of foreign-made
goods in unfair competition with Amer
lean goods and at prices lower than
the cost of manufacture abroad. the
object of the bill is to meet the dump
ing of foreign goods into this country
either before or after the close of the
European war.
Until short time ago Secretary Red
field had in mind the preparation Of a
bill that would prevent dumping
through appeal to the courts of the
country by proper governmental ON
still uppermost in his mind, IT is un-
derstood. but at the same time the
suggestion has been made by legal Of
ficials that with the antitrust laws as
more effectively by criminal statute
than by any other process. The sug-
gestion is that by imposing a heavy
fine or Imprisonment or both upon the
importer who violates the law dump
ing will be serious thing
Justice Department to Prosecute.
The duty of bringing prosecution
would rest with the Department of
Justice, through United States attor-
neys who would receive complaints
from American manufacturers or busi
ness men.
President Wilson and Secretary Red
field have both been under the i'm
preston that the federal trade COM
mission is given broad powers along
the lines of a tariff commission and
that this organization would be the
best one in which to place the initia-
tive for action against bumpers, but
there has lately arisen some doubt. it
is said, whether the powers claimed
are conferred upon the trade commits
sion.
Former GOV. James NJ. Cox of Ohio
conferred with President Wilson a few
days ago about a tariff commission,
which Mr.. Cox strongly advocates.
While the details of the conversation
were not made public it is said that
Mr. Cox sought to impress upon the
President that the democrats should
stand at the coming session of Con-
gress for tariff commission inde-
pendent of any other body and upon
which are conferred extensive powers.
The President is considering the sug-
gestion and when the bill against
dumping is finally drawn by officials
of the administration the Presidents
views on a tariff commission may be-
come known.
