Service in letter TO the Department OF Commerce
outlining the work Of u. S Consuls
In other words while consuls perform commercial
duties for interests free Of charge they have
collected by other means chiefly through passport fees
more than the entire OF upkeep OF the American con-
suar service and this will be covered into the u s.

that service
The passport fee is $40 and there has been protest
against the Of its being excessive, but as Sena-
tor Lodge recently asserted It is well worth ten dollars

the United States.
While the Dillingham; law will restrict immigration,
there will yet be sufficient number come in TO pay the

Why the Farmers Tax Stand?
(From the New York HeraIdl. .

II the American farmer does not
know that he cannot prosper when
general industry and business are
suffering calamity he hos very
short memory.
It was only eight years ago that
the grim agricultural history Of
Grover Cleveland's second term as
President repeated itself. A mis-
taken economic policy during Mr..
Cleveland's administration put the
shutters up on mills and factories
all over the country. with Ameri-
can industry closed down and its
unemployed wage earners standing
in the bread line. the American
farmer could not sell his crops for
lack OF consumers able to give cold
cash for them. He could not give
them away because there was no.
body to pay the freight to haul
them off. He let his wheat rot in
the fields and burned his corn for
fuel.
After Mr.. Wilson entered the
White House in 1913 and he and
his party In Congress duplicated
the economic policy Of their party's
former control OF the Government
they duplicated the blow TO national
industry and business. Again wage
earners Of the mill and factory were
thrown out Of employment by the
hundreds Of thousands and again
the farmers crops were becoming
not worth the powder to blow them.
It was not until the German war
came to put every able-bodied

rN1E rail broiherhoods have voted overwhelmingly in
favor Of strike against the wage reductions ordered
by the Railroad Labor Board last spring.
The leaders OF the so-caed Big Four said 10 be
using their influence prevent walkout and have some
hope OF success
But It is to those very leaders, as most Deawareans
know that the present among the workers is
trlbutabe.
They were the ones who browbeat Democratic Con-
gess into the passage OF the infamous Adsmson law who
buied the Democratic director general Of railroads into
the grant Of wage after increase without any
thought OF the compensation received for similar work in
other industries and who have constantly nsiilled into
the minds OF the workers the conviction that their or
ganizations were powerful enough to win any demand
they might care to make.
Left to themselves the railworkers would have dis
cerned the process OF denaon that is taking place not
only commodity prices but in the price Of labor WE'LL
and would have realized that they must accommodate
themselves the inexorabe law Of supply and demand
But the leaders have bred contempt among their men
for natural economic laws and have persuaded them that
they law unto themselves Far wages and
ditions OF employment concerned
Too late those leaders now perceive that they have
been playing with fire that has got beyond their con-
troll
With unemployment conditions they are, and
with public sentiment largely aenated from their

fail OF its purpose but bring suffering those involved

have refrained from such a publica-
ton, even il there had been any
semblance of truth in 1t. Failing in
the common courtesy Of truthful
ness, however, there was no reason
to expect that they either would be
accurate or painstaking in printing
a report of the newspaper mems
meeting.
Easton folks joined whole hearted
ly in extending the royal welcome
accorded the visitors, naturally re-
sent the inference that a bunch of
boot-legging, law defying guests were
accorded honors by the Mayor and
Council, the Rotary Club, the Cham
Der of Commerce and other civic or
ganizations. The newspaper men
themselves, many of whom are
recognized throughout the state GER
tainly as fairly respectable and law
abiding citizens, bitterly refute the
insinuations, and all others who
were in Easton during the two day
visit deplore the Suns weak and
puny attempt to make a sensational
story of what was merely a quiet

Easton has splendidly demon
strated that fine old Eastern Shore
hospitality in the manner in which
il entertained the seventy or more
newspaper men here this week.

The insinuation in last Tuesdays

unwarranted and so wholly untrue
that the visiting scribes Of three

gust over a peurile attempt to eith-
er bolster open defiance of the con-

upon the publishers OF newspapers
