Legislation inspired by the presi'
dent, and fortified by caucus rule, has,
70 large extent, been the method
that has prevailed under this Demo-
cratic administration. And under this
method congress has been in ses-
sion two years, seven months and
fifteen days of the three years and
seven months that have transpired
of President Wilson's term. This
leaves less than year of his term
up to date that congress has not been
in session.
Tariff Protection Destroyed
President Wilson was inaugurated
the 4th of March, 1913. Although our
country was then in most prosper
GUS condition, under the Republican
tariff law of 1909, yet his first pur-
pose was to uproot and destroy this
system of tariff protection and to SUBJ
stitute therefor a so-called free trade,
or "tariff for revenue only" system.
In pursuance of this policy, he sum-
moned congress in extra session; and
congress, in obedience to such sum-
mons, met on the 7th day of April,
1913. In his message he declared
that:
II have called the congress together
in extraordinary session because a
duty laid upon the party in power at
the recent elections which 1t ought
to perform promptly, in order that
the burden carried by the people under
existing law may be lightened as soon
as possible and in order also that

DIR. SCHMARYA LEVIN ORIG
INATOR OF LOAN PLAN.

The plan looking to a loan from
America for the rebuilding Of Jewish
homes in the war zones, earnestly adj
vocated by DR.. Judah H. Magnes, who
has come straight from the scenes of
Jewish misery in Europe, was first
propounded nearly two years ago by
DR.. Schmarya Levin, the Zionist lead
er. 1t has been considered for some
months by Justice Louis D. Brandels
and other Zionists, and differs only in
detail from the relief measures now
proposed.
This plan, unlike the Magnes plan,
contemplates great national loan to
Jews of the countries devastated by
the war, at a rate Of interest. The adj
vocates of this plan think it would Gre

sibility that would be an uplift in the
work of reconstruction in Russia and
Poland.
''There are in the Jewish world at
least a hundred communities that are
in position to take part in this loan
each with contribution of $2OO,OOO.
This would reach the sum of $2O,O00,
OOO In addition there are at least a
hundred communities and organiza-
tons which can raise 100000 each.
This would yield $1O,O00,O00,' said
Dr. Levin.
The plan was to raise the necessary
fund for the proposed loan through
the Jewish communities and organiza-
tons in this country. 1t was figured
that these owned property amounting
to between $30O,OOO,O0O and $780,
100000, and that through Jewish bank
ing interests amounts could be realized
on this property.
"Our loan cannot be obtained in the
name of the united Jewish race, sim
ply because we lack the representative
body which might step out in the name
of the Jewish people and be recognized
as such from the international point
of view," said DR.. Levin. 1--WE have
sufficient territorial national organiza-
tons in the various countries which
possess accumulated wealth, and are,
therefore, deserving of a certain cred
it, All these organizations must create
legitimate representation, which will
be recognized in the individual coun-
tries and which will have all the ri ghts
of legislative body. The legitimate
representative bodies of the various
countries will more easily find a way
of co-ordinating their activities.
"There are other organizations that
can get credit for smaller sums. Each
can do it's share in raising the great
amount needed I merely outline the
plan. Experts will have to work out
the full details. 1t is easy to get rec
ord of our wealthy communities and
organizations that can get credit on the

SILVER BOUND FOR
A HIGHER FIGURE
PREDICTION MADE THAT WHITE
METAL WILL CONTINUE
TO MOUNT

A new record for silver will be
set before long is the opinion of
well informed mining men who have
been watching the gradual rise in
the price of the white metal. It
reached &c cents today and within
another week it is expected that
the high mark Of IT, which was
reached about a year ago, will be
passed by at least four points.
"Silver is going to go to so
SOON" said Ed Smith Of Smith &c
Amann. "The demand will not re-
ceive any setback because of a
conditions and the European
tries need silver. The mines of Ne
vada are feeling the effect OF the
pr esent high prices more and more
every day. The low grade proper
ties and old mines resumed opera
tons when silver was as low az

market is noticeable. Tonopah
stocks are going up gradually and
other silver camps are feeling the
effect.

ed now the mining stocks will be
benefited. The industrials will
break somewhat and the money will
be put into mines."-Gazette.

.DISK|N SPEAKS
ON ACQU|TTALS
DISTRICT ATTORNEY PANS JURY
FOR ACQUITTAL OF
MURPHY

This morning in the district
court Charles C. Chambers, who
ON Oct. 25, is alleged to have poked
q gun into the stomach of Albert
Schragle, one of the proprietors OF
the Belmont bar, and pulled the
trigger, the hammer falling on an
empty chamber, saving S~chragle's
life, changed his plea of not guilty
to a charge of assault with intent
to kill to a plea of guilty of SIM
pie assault.
The plea was accepted and on
Saturday afternoon, being but two
days before Christmas, Judge Walsh
will play the role of Santa Claus tc
Chambers. The penalty for as
sault is six months in the county
Jail or a fine of $500.
The action of the jury in the
Murphy case in acquitting the de-
PENDANT evidently aroused the ire
OF District Attorney Diskin, as in
accepting a plea of guilty to as
sault from Chambers, he said:
i WANT the RECORD 10 SHOW WY
the district attorney is consentinS
to the changing of this plea. With
out noting the members who sat
or the jury that tried the Murphy
case, l want to state, in view of the
fact that We have tried that ease
and in view of the fact that a mar
lost a portion of his arm by rea-
son of the assault, and the facts
shown to the jury to prove that
the defendant was guilty of assault
with intent to kill, there could be
no reason why the evidence would
not constitute a conviction, but Of
course that does not make a jury
convict"
He then referred to the expense
OF trying Chambers and the time
of the court that would be taken
up by the trial and the possibility
that in the end and ecquittal would
result, as in the Murphy case anc
said: "I therefore consider it bes'
to take the defendants plea OF
guilty to simple assault for the
reason that he will receive some
punishment in this way while &
jury would turn him loose"
