JAPAN FIRST.

The same old tale, issuing from
the Department OF Commerce, makes
its monthly appearance with respect
to July: Importations from Japan
continue to increase; July, 1915,
they totaled 100000; July. 1916,
the totaled s53,OOO,OOO; for the
seven months period ended July,
1916, they totaled 95,OOO,0OO. Our
exports to Japan for the two periods.
respectively, were valued at $685.
100000 and s57,5OO, 900. We gained
S22,OO0,OOO on the japanese mar
ket; Japan gained s42,0O0,O00 in
ours. A large percentage Of our ex-
ports to Japan consisted of war ma
terial for manufacture and sale to
Russia; Japans exports to US con-
sisted wholly of peace products.
Japan got her goods into our market
practically duty free; We got our

goods into the Japanese market after
paving a high tariff. Japan brought
all her goods to us, and then some,
in her own ships; she took about all
our goods to her ports in her own
ships.
The natty little tailors and the
nimble little shirtmakers of Japan
send their statesmen to this country
and they measure all Of US for suits
and shirts. Secretary Redfield
preens his oriole whiskers and brags
about our increased exports OF textile
machinery to Japan or China; the
statesmen mail their measurements
and orders to Japan. and the natty
little tailors and the nimble little
shirtmakers make up the suits and
shirts from cloths woven on ma
chimes copied from those purchased
in America. Eighty per cent of the
employees working on the japanese
looms are women. receiving from y
to "a cents a day. The suits and
the shirts are shipped to the United
States and pay the ridiculously low
duties required by the Wilson-Under-
wood tariff law, and some more
American labor is denied its wage.
We don't miss il now, of course. We
are making up uniforms, oyercoats,
socks. blankets and shirts for blood
crazed Europe. But what is going
TO check the everincreasing volume
OF Japanese imports if the end of the
war finds us still operating under
tariff policy which even the demo

DEMANDS FOR FEWER LAWS.

Many candidates for legislative Of
fices are promising to enact no new
laws, but to repeal some.
Public sentiment and business in
terests are demanding more and
more a let-up in the volume of legis-
lation.
Still many political conventions
adopted platforms pledging candi-
dates to enact new laws if elected.
If all the measures promised are
brought before the state law-making
bodies, there will be perfect deluge
of new legislation, and lawyers and
courts will have the time of their
lives in giving it logical interpreta-
tion.
The statute book of every state in
the Union is burdened already with
more laws than are needed, and
amendment of existing statutes, with
a view to avoiding contradiction and
promoting uniformity, is most essen
tial of all. Business is throttled or
hampered on all sides by conflicting
and contradictory laws and regulat-
ing commissions,
In the language of Thomas Jeffer-
son, that community which is "gov-
erned" least is governed best. 1t is
the fashion with the thoughtless to
Judge of a legislators value by the
number of bills that he introduces,
and with too many legislators to
think they are neglecting their duty
and not earning their salary unless
they propose a new act every day.
The truth is that the country would
in many instances be better served
and would save. money If its law
makers we're paid for doing nothing
at all.

THE ISSUES OF NOVEMBER.

The first duty OF the national gov
ernment is to so make and admins
ter laws as to promote and facilitate
the work Of the people. Therefore
the relations Of the government to
the business community become per-
haps the most vital issue that the
voters have to determine at presi-
dental elections.
The so-called prosperity argu-
ment" is often attacked as an appeal
TO sordid motives. But less superb
cial thought shows that prosperity"
is most vitally related to the ad
vance OF the people. All progress
stands on a bread and butter basis.
Industry is fundamental in any COM
munity. If the factories are closed
or idle part of the. time, there can
be no social or economic gain.
II becomes, then, the first duty of
government to encourage enterprise.
The very foundation of all business
prosperity is confidence. If business
men feel that the government is hos
tile, or oppressive, or ignorant of
commercial conditions, they become
fearful of the future. They become
too alarmed to risk their money in
the ordinary ventures of trade, and
they curtail operations. When any
considerable number of producers do
that, the result is a panic or indus
trial depression such as character
lied the first eighteen months of the
Wilson administration.
At this time of disaster unemploy-
ment reached the highest level for
years. The sufferings of the poor
were pitiful. Conditions were re-

Dear Sirs: Pleast find enclosed
check for $3.50, for which renew my
