has suffered no serious flood damage
following the storm OF the last two

To the north and west the Los An

from the ravages OF the high water,
but the Golden State woolen mills,

soMETHING OF A PROPHET.

r T is evident that House Leader James k. Mann Is
something Of n prophet In August, 1912, discuss
ING the proposed Democratic tariff, Mann said that
the Democrats would add to wages paid abroad
would add to idle labor here they would add happi-
ness 10 the foreign laborer and cause notices OF de-
oreases OF wages 70 the American laborer."
Exactly those things happened as a result OF the
enactment of the Underwood tariff law. Thousands OF
American factories went on part time or closed down
entirely. we made increased purchases abroad ana
reased our sales abroad so that the foreign aborer
had more work and larger market for his product.
There was rejoicing in foreign factories and weeping
and wailing AMI gnashing of teeth among the fami-
lies Of unemployed throughout the length and
breadth Of America.
The influence OF the in restoring Industrial
activity at a later date, does not alter the iac'
that Representative Mann made an accurate propneo'
as TO what would happen

EXTRACTS FRoMA CRITICAL REvI

The shipping bill assumes to regu-
late. by way OF prohibition and direc-
ton. only those ships which answer
the legal description Of a common
carrier"
Considering the matter in hand, we
may divide the worlds merchant ma
rine into two fleets--the common
carrier and the independent
In the first are the "liners"-pass-
enger and freight-serving all COM
ers on regular routes.
II the other fleet are the "tramps,' y
moving hither and yon, under cable
direction, to promising ports, or voy-
aging under special charter; and in
this fleet are the considerable num-
ber Of vessels employed by indus
trial companies exclusively in their
own business.
The employments Of the chartered
and the company ships plainly eX-
clude the carriers obligation afore
said, since the one is governed by
special contract and the other is bu
a branch Of particular business en-
terprise. While the tramp may II

assume the common carrier obliga
ton she is usually free from It.
In this case Il is noteworthy tina
the bill claims jurisdiction over IN
smaller fleet, for II is well know
that the bulk Of the worlds commerc
is carried by Independent ships.
The broad preliminary criticism q
the bills regulations concerning com
mon carriers by water in torelg
commerce is that they affect but
part, and the lesser part, OF our To-
eign transportation.
Imagine the plight OF our immooil
railways with a fleet OF tramp az
