West Samoa
Protests Rule
OF New Zealand

Apia. Samoa, Aug. 6.--Natives
and residents of western Samoa.
the former German possession In
the South Pacific, mandate over
which was given to New Zealand,
have united in a protest against
the administration of this terri
tory by the New Zealand govern
ment. Unnecessary financial bur
dens, government without voice
of Samoans in affairs, and lack OF
respect for Samoans by the admin
istration are among the conditions
enumerated in petitions to King
George of Great Britain requesting
that the Islands be taken from
New Zealand control and placed
in the department Of colonial af-
fairs in the British imperial gov
ernment.
These sentiments were set forth
in letters and addresses to Il. +.
Lee. minister on external affairs
for New Zealand, who was ap-
pointed by the British government
to visit and inspect Samoa. Among
sentiments expressed by the ma
tiyes and foreign residents In their
uetitions were the following:
1--WE wish to express our hope
less feeling with regard TO the
future OF Samoa under New Zea-
land control Since 1915 the poTu-
lation has decreased about 20 per
cent and taxation has increased Dy
over 100 per cent, for which we
have received no extra necessary
benefits or services. New Zealand g
control OF Samoa has been a hope
less failure.
"The Samoans are dissatisfied
with the constitution ordef leGls-
lated by New Zealand because II
has been enacted without voice OF
samoans."

British Protest
Import Duties
Fordney Tariff

Washington, aug. S0.-British
makers of high speed steel appeal
ed to the senate finance committee
today to save them from what they
termed the 'prohibitive" import
duties carried in the Fordney tar
iff bill. They pleaded for read
justment of the rates so that they,
as Englishmen, might be allowed
to live, to work and to pay you
what we owe you"
The British representation was
made by Arthur Balfour, heading
deputation from the Sheffield
chamber of commerce who pic
tured the consequences to the busi-
ness of his home land should the
Fordney steel rates be retained.
I'VE know" he added, that the
peace of the world depends on you
and us. We want to do nothing 10
disturb, disrupt or destroy that
harmony which has so long exist
ed between our countries.
I'VE ask for no favoritism. We
never have dreamed of any retalia-
tory measures. We contemplate
no throat cutting. All we ask is
that we be allowed to live, to work
and pay you what we owe you.
And the only way we can pay you
is in trade. in goods. That We are
very, very anxious to do.'
The American valuation basis
of levying duties as provided II
the Fordney bill also was obJe' ted
to by Mr.. Balfour. Such a method
of laying import taxes, he said
would absolutely" cut off many
trade connections and create an
element of uncertainty dangerous
to trade.
mo customer, however old his
business relations may be, is going
to send us an open order he con
tinued, when he can't tell End We
can't tell what the duties are go
ing to be. 1t is upon the dutie:

Put Capitol
Snarl up To
People, Plan
General Vote Held to
Be Best Solution;
Land Vacated Many
Years Ago

All alarming doubts to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, the pro-
posed Capitol street from the north
line of Madison street to the fair
grounds road, which citizens are
eHdeavoring to get paved, has
been vacated, according to City
Attorney Ray Smith who, after
meeting of special committee
last night, made a search through
the city's dust covered records
with view to clearing up a doubt
which had loomed largely before
those interested in the movement.
The land was vacated in April,
1888, Mr.. Smith said.
In view of recent developments,
but little remains for the better
street advocates other than to
bring the issue to a vote Of the
people of the city, in the opinion
of Mr.. Smith. At the present time
the six per cent tax limitation
measure provides the city with
scarcely enough money to take
care of the actual expense of city
government and as a result the
city is in no position to pay Tor
the proposed paving on Capitol.
Owners of the land, through
which the street would pass, have
signified their willingness to grant
right of way, providing the ciH
will foot the paving bill.
Those who met last night to
consider the street problem were
