Trade Follows the Loan.

Woodrows picked chickens are COM
ing home to roost. When the Six
Power loan to China came up, shortly
after Mr.. Wilson's Inauguration, finan-
ciers in the United States were asked
to subscribe to the loan. They were
willing to do SO, provided they could
have those governmental guarantees
which were accorded by France, Italy,
Great Britain, Russia, and Japan to
their flnanciers. Mr.. Wilson refused
categorically to extend these guaran-
tees because Of the obligations they
would impose upon this government,
so there were no subscribers in this
country.
Recently China desired to contract
a new loan, and the State Department
at Washington was asked to obtain
the money from American bankers.
An immediate loan of 100000 was
desired. and when it became evident
that it would be difficult to obtain
this amount. an effort was made to
obtain 100000. This was to be
followed by an effort to obtain
$30,00o.000. The State Department
has been busy ever since trying
to make the touch for China, but
American bankers remember the
contrary attitude Of Woodrow Will
sin in 1913, and the taking Of

Democratic testimony that the I'm
derwood tariff bill fails by upwards OF
5000, 100000 to raise its share Of the
revenue needed to carry on the gov
eminent is furnished by the Senate
finance committee which has, after
strenuous labors, reported a supple
mentary revenue bill imposing special
taxes designed to raise s205,000.ooo
revenue. Probably many Democrats
would be reluctant to admit that this
means taking out Of the pockets Of
Americans over s20,o00,oOO which. I'M
der a different tariff could just as we'll
be taken out Of the profits Of foreign
ers; although there is much evidence
to support that contention, clearly es-
tablished instances where the whole
sale price Of the foreign manufacturer
has been advanced exactly the amount
Of the reduction in the tariff, so that
the American consumer gained moth
ing from the reduction of the duty.
But no Democrat can deny that these
special taxes are made necessary by
the failure Of the Underwood bill to
provide sufficient revenue.
The special taxes are bound to be
onerous in many cases. For instance,
every theatre or place of amusement
which seats $50 must pay a tax of s25;
which seats 500, tax Of $50, and so
on up. All bowling alleys and billiard
parlors must pay a special tax Of S.
for each alley and each table. Every
mortgage and certificate of indebted
ness must pay a stamp tax of so cents
for every 500 OF amount. A form Of
duty is imposed by special taxes on
all goods entering and coming out Of
custom houses and bonded ware
houses. Steamship and Pullman
tickets bear special taxes, and many
other things, all in addition to doub-
ling the income tax, and imposing
heavy taxes on heritances. The House
tax on war munitions was rejected
when it was found 1t would hit cotton,
and there was substituted an addi-
tional tax on the profits of corpora
tons which, it is expected, will be COL
lected almost entirely in the Northern
states

oemocracy's Little Mistake.

While the Democratic organization
in Maine is frantically endeavoring BY
trickery and deceit, in press and on
the stump. to mislead the labor vote,
Democracy seems to have forgotten
many things. First they have forgot
ten to say that as many Democrats as
Republicans signed the referendum Pc
titions on the 54-hour law. They ig-
more the fact that many or perhaps
most Of these signers affixed their sig
natures because they believed the
people should have a chance to study,
discuss and give expression on this law,
or because somebody who so believed
urged them to give the people a chance
to exercise their rights under the ref
erendum law.
We have heard 1t claimed that not
only many who have from the first ad-
vocated the 54-hour law. but some OF
those who voted for 1t in the Legis-
lature signed the referendum petitions.
We do not know this to be a fact, for
we have not studied the petitions: but
We do know Of men who favor the
law and who conducted their places Of
business under the spirit Of that law
before there was any active movement
for 1t in Maine. and signed the referen-
dunn petition.
The Democratic organization does not
care for these little matters Of fact if
they can embitter some Of the unin-
formed labor vote. They seem to have
forgotten that they are living in a glass
house. and that If Republican press and
speakers really attempt to show up the
Democratic attitude. high and low.
toward labor. 1t will prove very inter-
estins reading for the Democratic or
ganization.

lic, nationally, has so bitterly arraigned

row Wilson. In his baccalaureate SER
mon to the students Of Princeton Uni

President Wilson, in his high position
as educator and historian. has intoler-
antly viewed the union slogan of De-
creased hours always brings increased
wages" He had no patience with this
unbridled claim to which was never
limited limit. He saw no minimum
that would be recognized by arrogant
leaders and he denounced them in
terms that still ring in the ears Of hun
dreds of college men.
If Democracy wishes to take up and
make much Of the pretense that the
people have no right to weigh and pass
upon anything that union labor wants;
that no man before the public shall be
considered as other than opposed to the
law because he dared sign referen-
dunn petition, then Mr.. Democracy
should beware Of the consequences for
its record is bad.
Let voters exercise their judgment
and spirit of fairness. Here are a
few important facts to be considered
by all:
If the need and purpose Of the law
do not exist, then why the active OPP
position on the part Of certain indus
trial interests against which most
complaint has been made by labor?
If the law is not perfect, is it not a
public and a party duty to discuss it
until the understanding Of conditions
and abuses is general, and all the
people may vote in fairness to stand by
the laborins man against any oppres-
sion?
II we remember correctly one Of the
strongest advocates of the referendum
law was the American Federation of
Labor, and we believe it has nothing
to fear in going honestly before the
people with it's case, the 54-hour law.
And we believe that law will be per-
fected and stand, in spite of the play of
politicians to deceive few voters.

Hon. Obadiah Gardner, American
chairman of the International Joint
Boundary Commission, left Rockland
Monday for Ogdensburg, N. Y, where
the commission will have a very i'm
portant session. One Of the matters to
be considered is the establishment Of
new level for the Lake of the Woods.
The subject has been under discussion
ever since 1888, when the Canadians
built a dam at the outlet, which so
raised the level that a rise Of a foot
meant the flooding of hundreds Of acres
on the Minnesota side. Two years ago
the subject was referred to the Inter-
national Commission to see what level
can be maintained for the best interest
Of all concerned. Engineers tackled
the problem and had their reports in
readiness for the commission when
there came the abnormal floods Of last
Spring, and 1t became necessary to
send the engineers back for another
survey. The commission may also
make report on remedies for water
pollution in the boundary waters, the
importance of which may be Judged
from the fact that it concerns the Great
Lakes.
