THE TRUTH IN FABRICS
BILL

The Truth In Fabrics" bill. which
VAS ably advocated Friday before
senate committee By Cray Silver. Is es-
sential to the protection OF both the pro-
Queer Of wool and the wearer OF wool
garments. There IS vast difference be-
tween a garment made Of virgin Wool
and one made OF "reworked" wool or
"shoddy," although both are AL wool
and can be so advertised without vioiat-
i-S present laws.
As long as manufacturers can ouy
shoddy, mix # with virgin wool and sell
the product at virgin wool prices. they
will do so. The demand for new WOOL
will thus continue comparatively small
and the wearers Of wool garments Will
continue to be legally swindled. 4 IA"
requiring the percentages Of virgin WOOL
sboddy and cotton 20 be stamped on
every yard Of the manufactured fabric
would be the most substantial encour-
aSement the wool growing industry
could possibly receive. The Truth in
fabrics bill should pass. The people
kf America should get behind IL and see
MAT II docs pass.

A JUST VERDICT

There will be little criticism OF the
Ierman court which has acquitted
Salomon Teilirian. an Armenian youth
)who killed Talaat Pasha last March IN
a suburb Of Berlin. The prisoner freely
admitted that he killed Talaat, but stat
ed that he did so 10 avenge the massacre
Of 1000, 900 ArmeniaRs, Including his own
father. mother. sister and brother VINO
were killed by the orders OF Talaat. He
asserted that his dead mother appeared
10 him in a vision and pleaded for ven
yeance on the Turkish grand vtzier'
after which he followed Talaat Pasha
10 Berlin and shot him dead.
Such "a case. tried m any country eI-
cept perhaps Turkey. would almost GER
,ainly result in verdict OF acouittal.
The killing of Taiaat Pasha can hardly
DC called murder. II was aSsuredly JUS

case documentary evidence was intro

Assigned Car System
Under Fire in Senate
From West Virginia
Special Dispatch to The 1ntelligencsr.

Special Dispatch to The Intelligencsr.
Washington. June o-In the senate
Senator Howard Sutherland has intro
duced a bill TO amend the act to regu-
late commerce under which the assigned
car system as applied to distribution
Of cars to coal mines, has developed
with many attendant evils. according
10 men engaged in the coal mining bus
mess.
The law as il now stands ostensibly
makes the interstate commerce commits
sion responsible for the distribution OF
cars to the mines. but as a matter OF
fact the coal mine owners assert that
responsibility was delegated to or taken
over by the railroads, and as result
the law has been an abuse instead OF
a protection. They charge up 1t all
sorts of determinations, unfairness and
injustice.
The Sutherland amendment Is offered
TO subdivision fifteen Of section one OF
the act known as the act to regulate
commerce. approved February A. 1887.
and provides that nothing contained IN
the foregoing sub-diision shall author
i've the commission at any time 10 sus-
pend modify. cancel. alter or amend the
provisions Of subdivision twelve OF this
section which requires. equal proper
,ionate distribution OF cars to coal
mines"
In brief it aims 10 abolish the as
signed car system entirely
The nroposal has the backing OF the
National Coal association and All the
coal operators organizations In west
Virginia.

FRANCE AND THE SALES TAX

What the French think OF the sales
tax is interesting TO the taxpayers Of
;n.S country. Our national lawmakers
are seeking a means TO raise additional
revenue which the government must
have. and the sales tax is one OF the
methods advanced. France passed q
sales tax law after extremely roseate
predictions had been made concern
ing 1t.
In a dispatch from Paris II Is stated
that bill has just been presented in the
chamber Of deputies 10 double the sales
tax. because it has produced only about
half what was expected. 1t IS also stated
that this proposal Is being "furiously
opposed" by French business men. who
are unit in demanding that the tax
be repealed or. II maintained AT all, that
Il be extended to farmers instead of be-
ing Increased. The position OF the bust
ness men is that an Increase in the sales
tax would be dangerous and unjust, and
would result in an inevitable increase
in the cost Of living.
Our own lawmakers would do we'll TO
consider the workings OF the sales tax
in France and in other countries before
approving II for American use.
