reforms in the immigration laws.
"From the standpoint of Repubi-
cam" declared Mr.. Focht, "the
measure commanded favor, as it will
protect our own wage earners from
the cheap labor abroad, and thereby
stimulate our home markets.
During the consideration of the re-
cent agricultural appropriation bill
Representative Lindley H. Hadley, of
the State of Washington, called at
tention to the very interesting work
of bulb raising in which the Govern
ment is engaged in his State, and
made strong plea for an increase in
area of land at the disposal of the
Department. Extensive experiments
are being carried on intending to
show the farmers of this country how
bulbs, which are now imported in i'm
mense quantities from Holland and
other European countries, can be rails
ed proftably at home. According to
Mr.. Hadley such work is in line
with the Republican theory of the
cultivation and protection of home
industries, but it being contrary to
the ideas Of Democrats, Mr.. Hadley s
plan for an extension of the work
was. not looked upon with favor by
the majority.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1917-03-30

Congress established the tariff COM
mission reluctantly. 1t will be cost
ly creation to maintain; and it's labors
will be of doubtful value. Under the
Constitution, no tariff board can es-
tablish rates of duties, it can only
make Investigations and state con-
clusiOns. The House of Rrepresenta-
tives must originate all legislation af-
fecting the revenues; and the House
has always looked askance at tariff
commissioners appointed by the
President, reporting to him, and in
evitably coloring its opinions by his.
In the present instance, Congress
was urged to make the tariff commits
sion "non-partisan." To this end
the commission was established with
six members-an even number, of
whom three were expected to be
Democrats and three Republicans, in
order that no party should have an
advantage cover another in what was
spaciously advocated as an effort to
"take the tariff out of politics. -
The President has now discredited
that argument After waiting sever
al months before naming the tariff
commission, he presents "nen-par-
tisan' group of six men, all of whom
are believed to have voted for Wilson
last November and only one of whom
can lay claim to Republicanism even
in an emasculated form.
We are not surprised. In this, as
in almost every exercise of the APP
pointing power, the President has run
true to, form. In campaigns appeal
ing pfor .non-partisaD support; gof-
flee displaying partisanship of the
most obnoxious character. This is
Woodrow Wilson. The new tariff
board furnishes only cumulative evil
dence on this point.
"Where has the money gomez" is
the question people will now be ask
ing since they have read the state
ment of Ambassador Gerard that he
is astonished that no progress has
been made. in preparedness for de-
Tense. What has been done with all
those "war taxes" we have been pay
ing for the last two years?

The Standard Machine Co., one of
Owosso''s Youngest industries, is bad
ly in need ofemen, according to E. w.
Brown, secretary, treasurer and gen.
eral manager of the company. Forty
two men are now being employed, and
the plant is operating until 10 o'clock
at night and would operate "a hours a
day if the men were available, MIR.
Brown says. The company has so much
business that it has been necessary
for it to turn down several orders in
the past few days, one of them being
for $4,000.
Machinists are badly needed by the
company and advertisements for
them have been inserted in the state
papers, as none ARE available in this
city.
The company is at present turning
-out complete equipment for big
saw-mill for the Charcoal Iron Co.,
of America, located at Mariska,
Mich, in the extreme northwestern
part of the Upper Peninsula. The
order aggregates $4,000. The com
pany is also building a smaller plant
for company at Antrim, Mich. The
Standard company's principal output
is mill machinery.
The company is just getting settled
in its new plant on South Washing
ton street. The plant consists of two
buildings, the machine shop and the
foundry. The former is 44x120. feet
in dimensions, and two. stories high,
while the foundry is 80x60 feet in d.
mansions and one story high. Both
are of brick. The offices of the COM
pany, conveniently arranged, are in
the front part of the machine shop.
The first floor of the latter is given
over to machinery, while the second
is used for storing patterns and if
necessary light machinery may be in
stalled there later. Both the north
and south walls Of the machine shop
are largely glazed glass, affording ex-
cellent light for the workmen.
The foundry, which Is in the rear
of the machine shop, is equipped with
one furnace and another one will be

Congressman Edward L. Hamilton,
Of Michigan, attributes the success Of
the Democrats last November to a
well-organized publicity service which
he contends will elect anybody if suf-
ficiently financed. 'One of the spec

has created the false prosperity in

JACK TARS NEEDED
 FOR AMERICAN NAVY
President Authorizes Increase and
 26,O00 Are Wanted at Once

Washington, March 26.--President Wilson has issued an order authorizing the increase of the enlisted strength of :he navy to 87 900 men. The action Is in accordance with a provision in the naval appropriation act of Aug. 20, 1916. which fixed the permanent en- listed strenEth of the navy at 77,956 men. of which 68,700 may be enlisted men proper. 5000 apprentice seamen, and the rest scattered under other classif1cations.
 The act also empowers the president 'sswhenever in his Judgment sufficient national emergency exists. to increase the authorized enlisted strength of the navy to 87,O0O men," It was under this authority that the president Issued his executive order.
 There are now about 61 900 enlisted
 men in the navy. Tn the present crisis the, navy is in desperate need of men to man the great fleet that is to he mobilized to deal with the German st.. uation.
 \ net increase of about $500 enlist ed men has been obtained since the act was passed last August. But this is far from sufficient to- enable the navy to man the new ships going into
 
 the reserve force and put them into Ac- tive commission. All Of the ships ndk in reserve, which have skeleton or rs-I duced crews on board. are now to be placed in active service as rapidly ao recruits can be obtained for them. For the fun mobilization of tho fleet alone . total Of 73.817 enlisted regulafD and 25,2Io enlisted reserves will be re- Quired. 3s sess9 <. ss TO Mako All ships AvaiIable.
 Steps arc being taken to increase tho number of men to . point where HI ships Tn reserve may be aplaced in Hull commi&sion, and all new units cOm- missioned to the full enliSted strength as rapidly as they are conr r1eted. dss With tho president.s approval 6ect retary Daniels has made q personal appeal to managing editors thrcuelir out the country to aid the navy In its efkort to obtain recruits by giving the Widest possible publicity to the fact that the efa1isted strength Of tho navy IS to be increased.
