NEW YORK, July 26.-Copies of
resolutions calling upon the United
States government to take prompt
measures to bring about the recall
of commercial restrictions placed up
on American citizens by Great Britain
were sent today to members of the
senate and house of representatives
and the governors OF all states. The
resolutions were adopted by the Asso-
ciatiOn to Resist British domination
of American commerce, composed of
representatives of firms and individ-
uals on the British trade blacklist.
Maurise B. Blumenthal, counsel for
the association, left for Washington
late last night carrying a copy of the
protest which he hopes to hand to
President Wilson today
Compelling America.
The preamble of the resolutions
says that the measures adopted by
Great Britain are intended ito com
pei American aid in destroying the
commerce of her adversaries, regard
less or consequences TO American
trade rights"
1t also declared that the facts upon
which the blacklisting of American
firms was based were gained by "un-
lawful seizure, detention nd examina-
ton of American mails" Fear is
expressed that eventually Great Brit
ain may dominate the important com
mercial activities Of the American
people. 1t is also stated that it is
manifest that Great Britain's trade
ships cannot be accorded the hospital
ity of American ports or negotiate
commercial affairs with any American
citizen or firm on these shores cor
elsewhere" so long as ether citizens
are restricted in their rights of trade.

MONEY FOR "PUssYFooTERS"
Evening Wisconsin

Evening Wisconsin
Secretary McAdoo asks Congress for
a million dollars to be expended by the
government on secret service endeavors
to discover evasions in the payment Of
federal income tax. He asserts that
eight million four hundred thousand
dollars has been added to the proceeds
of the tax by the reason of discoveries
proceeding from the kind Of work he
desires to pursue.
1t is a description of ''pussyfooting"
to which the American people have not
been subjected in the past, and makes
some of them very angry. When the
raising Of revenue by a federal income
tax was proposed, one of the objections
was that the American people detest
espionage, and that system Of es-
pionage would be its certain accompani-
meut This prediction has come true.
and now the system is 10 be extended.

Some of those upon whom it will press
most irritatingly probably will be the
numerous class on the border of liabil-
ity to taxation. OF course there will
be countless instances in which the ex-
pense of making investigation will be
heavy, in comparison with the gain,
any, from increased tax payments.
The secretary is confident, however,
of huge financial margin or says he
is. In any case, If the appropriation
goes through, the administrations pow

In the first ten months of the current

million dollars in revenue receipts from
spirituous liquors and decrease OF two
million dollars in revenue receipts from
beer. Prohibition has made great gains
In the United States, but it is sadly evil
dent that temperance is getting no as

the consumption Of beer and increase
the consumption of drinks containing a

The Tribune as a Stawart sheet. In

in the atonement ranks. The Tribune
Is Republican as taughtand practiced
fifty years ago. Stalwartism from our
viewpoint is domination and control by
money powers, corporations, etc, to
make laws for their enhancement at
che sacrifice of the welfare of the mas
ses, IL necessary. That is not Repub.
licanism. Because of the click calling
themselves stalwarts Ia unique bua
deceptive title) and clubbing their
opposition half-breeds, The Tribune
felt forced to side with latter in the hope
of better maintaining Republican prin-
eiples. But the latter faction having
displayed such extravaganza ard greed
