A conscientious worker on the Ju-
dietary committee of the house is
Congressman Walter w. Magee of
New York. One of the subjects that
engaged the attention of that com
mittee during the last session was
the woman suffrage constitutional
amendment. Extended arguments
were heard. and Mr.. Magee says the
committee intends to give a report on
the matter TO the house during the
present session, having observed the
agreement that nothing but war
measures was to be considered during
the special session of last summer.
The sudden creation of a committee
on woman suffrage, TO deprive the
judiciary committee of its jurisdiction
in the premises, did not commend IT.

the only subject such committee

constitutional amendment. Repre-

matter itself.

Taxation md Production.

The national foreign trade council
has submitted to President Wilson a
statement of principles which in
clude the suggestion that price fixing
end taxation should be so co-nrdi-
mated as to stimnlate production. That
is n wise sncgestior-so clearly sound
that 1t would seem superfuous to even
make the suggestion. 1t is a good
policy in either peace or war. Ani yet
the administration has not followed
that policy in either war or peace. In
1913, as room as this administration
came into power. a special session
was called to enact q taxation law
n tariff or-revenue-only law-and
the whole purpose and effect of that
law was to difrourage production.
by reducing the import duties, the
purchase of foreign made goods was
encouraged, and the production of
homemade goods also correspondingly
diminished. The early experiments
In price fixing since we entered the
war were not such as TO induce
greater production Rather the con-
trary. The principle enunciated by
the foreign trade puncil Is sound,
but itsvadoption In practice has been
slow Of accomplishment.

An Aeric at Buffalo.

Representative William +. Waldow
of the state OF New York is the author
Of two bills introduced by him at the
last session, upon which he will en-
deavor to secure action during the
winter. They authorize the secretary
Of war and the secretary of the navy,
respectively, to establish an aviation
training station and a training sta
tion for the use of the Naval Coast
Defense Reserve at the city Of Buffalo,
N. Y. Mr.. Waldow contends that no
more available site exists than in the
vicinity OF Buffalo, with its perfect
harbor on Lake Erie. free from the
possibility of hostile attacks, to which
such training stations located on the
coast would be liable. Congressman
Waldow will exert himself to secure
early and favorable reports from the
committees having charge of the two
measures.

conflict upon American business. -
Rochester.-(N. " Times.
This is a rather ambiguous state
ment. Was the Increase in Canada's
imports, experts or total? Canada's
fiscal year ends March I. From that
date to September 80, 1916, (seTen
months) Canada's total trade with the
United States alone was SASS, 600, 600,
of which $134,000.00D was the value
of our imports from her and 1851, 600
coo the value OF our exports to her.
For the first seven months OF the Ca
padian fiscal year, 1917, March~Sep-
tember, Canada's trade with the Uni
ted States totaled S764 900, 900. of
which $24S,000,000 consisted of i'm
ports from, and S516, 900 of ex-
ports to Canada. Here is an in
crease in total trade with the United
States alone of s279, 900, 900, compar
ing the two periods, or 81 per cent.
Our imports from Canada increased
90 per cent; our exports to her but
At per cent
If 1t is desired to go little farther
into the study of our trade with our
northern neighbor, let us consider two
similar esven months period, March
September, 1913. when the Repub-
lican protective tariff law was on the
statute books, and March ptember,
1914 when the Democratic tariff law
was getting In its paralyZing work un-
restrained by the war. For the 1913
period Canada's total trade with the
United States was $S23, 900, 900 of
of which S75, 900, 600 consisted of i'm
ports from, and s24S, 900 of eX-
ports to Canada. For the 1914 period
the total trade was S302, 900, 600. inn
ports being 500. 100000 and exports
being s203,000, 900. Comparins the
Republican period of 1913 with the
Democratic period of 1914. Canada's
total trade with us fell off S21 ,000.0OD
or per cent, imports from Canada
increased 33 per cent and exports to
Canada decreased nearly 20, per cent.
Or to put it another way, Canada In =
creased her sales TO us nearly S25,-
100000, while our sales TO Canada
fell off $45,00O,000. The Democratic
law was putting us to the bad at the
rate of s10,000,000 a month in our
trade with the Dominion.
Comparing the Republican period
of 1913 with the 1917 period, the total
trade between the two countries in-
creased during the 1917 period lao

lation is adopted. There is nothing
in such prospect to brighten the
brow of American business.

other friends OF our shipping, sue
ceeded in retaining In the bill an ex-
emption of the Alaskan trade from
competition by foreign ships. Con-
gresham White declared that high
speed Canadian ships were ready and
waiting to pounce on the Alaskan
trade once 1t was thrown open to
them. The result would be a COM
plete loss of the trade to this coun-
try, as has happened in every case
where our ships have been brought
into competition with the subsidized
vessels of other nations.

ure that will probably receive the
early attention of the house is the
bill directing the secretary of the in
terror to make classification of the
lands coming under the 640-acre
homestead act of last year. Great
annoyance to settlers under that act.
and delay in its administration have
resulted because the surface of the
Snblic lands in certain of the west
rn states has not been properly clas-
lhied. In New Mexico, for instance,
ibnator Albert b. Fal of that state
declares the necessary surveys have
all been made and the notes of the
surveyors are in the land office at
Washington. 1t only remains to put
the information they contain in
proper shape for the purposes OF the
640-acre act. The bill passed the sem
ate only few days before the end of
the last session, and is now pending
before the committee OH public lands
