think it necessary to make any remarks.
1t is a strange thing though, to see a
Budget with a deficit of over eighty
thousand dollars laid before the Coun-
Gil; and again, how can we vote money
that we have no prospect of getting ?
Of course | do not believe that Congress
will refuse to appropriate money for
these Islands. We hope and trust that
they will give US sufficient to cover our
deficit; and as long as they give Us
money to cover our deficit we may rest
content.
4th Appointed Member (BLockWood)
remarked: Mr.. Chairman. AS far as
the immigration Tax goes | endorse the
remarks of the Honorable LIST Member
for Christiansted Country District. The
matter was discussed in the Council
sometime ago and it was claimed that &C
cording to Section 4 of the act of Con
gress this fund should be turned into
the Colonial Treasury. 1t does not seem
10 me a practicable thing to do.
The immigration Fund is a voluntary
tax paid By the Planters to maintain la
Dor Ia this Island; it was Instituted by
Planter Newton, and the Government
contributed a certain sum to the fund
yearly, nat went on until 1904 when the
fund reached such a proportion that the
in crest and tax could keep it up and
the contribution was discontinued. The
question in our las meeting in regard
to this fund was, whether the whole of
the fund should revert to the Colonial
Treasury. We argued that point and
voted that the fund and tax remain for
the purpose for which il was created,
and that the lntere t and tax be added
TO the fund annually.
We are short Of labour here, and if the
industry OF the Island is to be kept up we
certainly must have laborers; and the
planters by taxing themselves have pro-
vided this amount, so that when the time
for importing laborers they will
not be a burden to the Government;
therefore, | see no reason why our pres
ent Government should object to the
fund and the interest and tax remaining
for tx purpose for which it was created.
1st Member for Frederiksled Country
District andersen remarked: Mr..
Chairman. | propose that LIST Discus
sion remain open SO as to give members
a chance to consider this matter as |
think it an injustice TO- take away this
fund from the Planters. Many good
laborers have left the Island and there
might be a time when it will be neces-
sary to import laborers or do something
for the good ones we have so that they
will not desire to leave the island.
The Chairman put to the vote Whe-

WOULD PERPETUATE
ROOSEVELT IDEALS
Richard Chew Suggests Formation
of National Society.

A suggestion to form national
society to ''perpetuate the noble, pa
triotic ideals of Theodore Roosevelt"
is contained in a letter to the Wash
inton Herald from Richard B. B.
Chew, local attorney. Mr. Chew also
suggests that the proposed society be
formed on February 9, which is to be
named Roosevelt Day"
Such society,"" he says, would
keep constantly in view the American
ism which was so dear to the heart
of the illustrious dead"
This one word Americanism, which
must always seem to belong specially
TO this American citizen, expresses
the chief principles for which he
stood and which he struggled so earn
estly to attain-that one language and
one nag should prevail throughout
this country and that there should be
no hyphenated or half-hearted Amer
leans" "
And no surer fame than this can
come to any man-to live in the hearts
of the boys of his land as one whose
doings and sayings they would wish
to make their own"

FOR FEBRUARY.
Agreement of Packers and
Livestock Men Means Con-
tinuation of High Prices.

That q close association OF the
packer and the live stock producer
may result from their joint meetings
with the Food Administration was
the statement Of Thomas F. Wilson
in approving the refxing of the
price Of hogs at $3.50 at the
joint meeting Of representatives of
the packers, the live stock men, the
Food Administration, and the Ag-
ricultural Advisory Committee yes
terday. The joint action extends the
present price now operative on hogs
to the farmer throughout February.
The packers agree to pay that price.
This means there will be no break
in the price OF pork product. no mat

market

ut makes no difference to the
packer whether he pays IL. II, or 14c
for his hogs, as he makes the same
margin on profit, no matter what the
price is. But 1t is OF Importance to
the farmer and live stock producer"
said +. s. Snyder, head OF the meat
division of the Food Administration,
who presided at the conference.
Suggestion for another and different
agreement - understanding to stabi-
lie the market and keep prices from
breaking was made by Mr.. Snyder.
I'D suggest that the Agricultural
Advisory Committee and the packers
get together to regulate the flow OF
hogs to the market" he urged. He
had pointed out that the use Of the
railroad ertargo and the whole
CIR shipment plan had operated to
keep the markets at any given point
from being glutted.
Enormous Foreign Orders.
When the packers. before the final
agreement to the $3.50 price. asked
for definite information regarding for
eign orders, because of the big stocks
they had on hand. Mr.. Snyder told
them. that the Food Administration
lad total orders on hand Of 225, Coz
rounds. This satisfied them, though
they said through Mr.. Wilson that
their orders had been less than they
had been lead to expect by the Food
Administration.
Germany Gets a share.
The orders now in hand include 80.

Employment Service, recently of EN-
Tloyers' Association of Chicago, COM
pared the salaries paid by the gov
ernment and private employers, de-
clartng that in his own experience the
majority of the men who were receiv-
ing $500 from the government, were
paid at least 81 $50 when entering the
service Of private persons.
Every position should pay a nving
wage" he said. ''and above that point
efficiency and job tests will show what
the work is worth"
The case OF the women employees of
the government was presented by Miss
Ethel Smith. secretary of the IegisIa-
tive committee of the National Wom-
ans Trade Union League. Miss Smith
emphasized the fact that the figures
collected by the National Federation
of Federal Employees showed that 20
to IS per cent of women workers had
others than themselves to support.
Unfair to Limit Women.
IF a mans wage is to be fixed on a
basis of five" she declared. cit is un-
fair TO estimate a woman's wage on a
basis of one"
Application OF the minimum wage
principle was discussed by Henry
Sterling. legislative representative OF
the American Federation of Labor.
MIR. Sterling declared that the mimi
mum wage was not an innovation, but
the very foundation of trade union ac-
tivity, the defense of the economi-
cally defenseIess.
Luther c. Steward. president of the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes. told the committee that even
with the 1865 bonus asked of Con-
gress by the government employees
there would be many salaries that
would fall below the s3 a day mimi
mum.

sists of Senator Jones, of New Mex
