CONSTRUCTIVE" LEGISLATION.

What influence caused the amazing change in
sentiment with regard to the mine tax measure
which distinctly the issue before the Fifteenth
assembly? So-called constructive" legislation
was the real means Of defeating a graduated mine
tax. People have come to think of the success
or failure Of their Representatives in terms of bills.
The man who returns to his constituents from
other dangling at his belt, is often viewed a
legislative failure. AS matter of fact he may
have been of more benefit to the state than many
of those who were responsible for the passage Of
several measures.
The anxiety of legislators to enact laws is
sponsibe for the passage Of many bill such as
the Gould BILL which palced a tax all corpora
tons that few might escape the payment of their
just obligations to the state To prevent enact
ment Of new laws may be legislators highest
merit and many laws passed under the head Of
constructive" legislation far from being of
benefit to the state.

PARLIAMENT DEBATES
PROTECTIVE TARIFF

London. March 12.-The new Lloyd
George government will meet the first
difficult hurdle in the house of COM
mons Wednesday when parliament
will be asked to authorize new
policy in India in placing a protective
duty on cotton goods. Special prep
arations are being made by all parties
in anticipation of a critical division.
The reply of ]. Austen Chamberlain,
secretary for India, to a dcputation
representing all sections of the Lam
cashire cotton industry today seemed
to imply that the government intended
to stand fast by it's decision, in which
case there would be a straight fight
between the protectjonists and free
traders in parliament. 1t IS impos-
siblc to forcsee the result the ordinary
party clcavages being disturbed by
the war. Mr.. Chamberlain appealed
to the Lancashire deputation, saying
that India's financial assistance in the
war is needed and that the members
ought in spirit of patriotism waive
their objections to the cotton duties
which were requested to enable India
to meet the interest on the war loan.

THREE PERCENT BEER

Wallace Press-Times: Beer manufact.
ured hereafter is, by order of the pres
idcnt, to contain not more than 3 per
cent alcohol. This brings beer almost
within the classification of "soft
drinks Formerly the beverage con
tanned from 4 to q percent alcohol.
lnere are temperance beers,'' made
to be sold in "dry' territory, that
contain 21a percent alcohol. Ginger
ale, root beer, etc, often contain nearly
that much.
1t doesn't necessarily follow that
anyone who gets drunk on the new beer
could get drunk on ice cream sodas, but
obviously the possibilities in that line
are much diminished. For purposes of
comparison, it may be stated that eight
Wines are likely to have about Is per
cent alcohol, heavy wines or highballs
about rs percent, and whiskey about
SO percent.
The manufacture of whiskey and
other spirituous liquors is already for
hidden. There is said to be a suffi-
cient supply of them in the country
to last about two years. If the war
continues longer than that, it is evident
that the drink problem may be virtual
ly solved even if present prohibition
prospects fail of realization.

now raging, an allied naval council has
been created to direct naval operations

Of the military was some weeks ago
agreed upon. In the allied naval coun-
Gil, the United States, France, Eng

sented, each by its civilian head and

ell will insure close cooperation among

''CA.NTONMENT''

Baker (Ore.) Herald: In view of the
big part that the cantonment is PLAYING
in American life, it might be good
idea to learn how to pronounce the
word Sc tar, everybody pronounces
1t the way he pleases. That is true not
only of the general public, but of the
government and military authorities.
1t is said that about half of the mil
itary and civil officers call it "can-
tone ment,' accenting the second syl.
liable. That might seem to be suffi.
cient warrant for that pronunciation.
But President Wilson, who is at once
the head of the nation, the head of the
army and scholar of no mean attain
ments, says "can-t nm MT aceenting
te first syllable. And lest it be
thought that this is peculiarly a
Princeton variation. ii must be re-
corded that Professor Hunt of Princeton
calls it ''ean-tonn ment, accenting the
second syllable. All these prononci-
ations are heard right along. And
there is a fourth variation, "can-toc
ment,' which is said to correspond to
the British use of the word in Ind,
President Wilson seems to have
nearly all the dictionary authority on
his side. But the Standard Dictionary
also authorizes DIR. Hunts "can-tonn-
ment." That, by the way approx.
imates pretty closely to the French
prononciation-a fact that might
have some weight, because it was
originally French word. How it can
be tortured into the form "can-tone-
ment" is probably beyond the under
standing of anybody familiar with the
ordinary rules of English and French
pronunciation.
But it's nothing to quarrel about.
Since there s so much confusion, why
not compromise and let everybody call
it .encampment' or "camp?'

DRY LAW UPHELD

In holding that citizen has no con

the other day upheld the Idaho state

those who argue against bone-dry pro-
hibition as violation of the federal CON
stitution.

A SECOND GETTYSBURG

The Germans are preparing for a
titanic massed attack on the allied
front in France. Press dispatches from
Europe are indicative that the Teutons
are about to launch great offensive
along the Anglo French line, where, for
two years, they have been on the de-
fensiye. The Germans know that they
can more effectively strike now, than
when the United States throws her
armies into the fray. With victories
on the Italian front, and the virtual
elimination of Russia from the war,
Germany, her soldiers filled with new
courage, and her war chiefs cognizant
that they have but one chance left, is
about to fling legion after legion on
the allied line, in final effort to repel
her foe, before America can become an
important factor on the battle-line pro-
per.
Press reports show preliminary moves
winch prompt this conclusion, and at
any time may terrific attack be ex-
Pected on the part of the Teutons.
The Germans will try to bring the war
