Plenty of Law.
(New York World -Telegram.)

Once more existing immigration laws have been searched, and this time they found to con- tain a provision described by the Labor Depart ment little known and seldom used"
 By enforcing this provision, aliens who have Sr rived within the last three years, and who are in need, can be sent home with their own consent at Government expense.
 Some months ago. 1t was discovered that the immigration laws contained a proviso touching Mexican immigration This has been ordered strictly enforced, and the tide of immigration from that country has lessened tremendously
 Later the so-called public charge" clause discovered in the laws and it's strict enforce ment has curbed immigration from European countries
 Now comes discovery of this new" provision which should help clear up the unemployment sua- ton in of cities by deportation of indgent aliens
 Might not it be good idea to have thor ough study of the statutes affecting immigra- tion? It might be discovered that have laws enough and need ones at all

PROFITING THROUGH SERVICE.

When merchants build new stores, add additional sales space install fixtures improve their show windows augment their sales forces replenish their stock with the best and newest it is for the public Of course they in business for the purpose Of making living. but to make that living they must first give service their first objective is always "to serve and please"
 Fair exchange is robbery" is a business phrase which has been handed down from gen. eration to generation and seems to have ac- quired immortality The aborer exchanges his labor for his wage The capitalist exchanges his money for his interest The manufacturer exchanges his products for his cost of production plus profit, the professional exchanges his services for his fees his salary, the storekeeper exchanges his goods for cost plus service charge. Everybody is in busi ness for himself by being in business for somebody else Like the public official the merchant is in business for society and therefore every member of that society is his employer his boss.
 One of the compensations of business is that public recognition and appreciation come to none sooner than to the businessman who really serves. flourishing trade is synonymous with public trust and confidence Service must ever precede success in business.

SPIRITED FIGHT TO FILL VACANCY.

Death has again intervened to make more confused the already chaotic situation in the House of Representatives of the Seventy Second Congress When the veteran Henry Allen Cooper dean of the House, and insurgent Republican answered the roll call of the grime reaper just before the end of the last session of Congress, it split the next House squarely in the middle and gave the Democrats another chance to organize it.
 The membership stands PIT Republicans PIG Democrats. one Farmer-Labor and one vacancy If the Democrats elect a successor to MT Cooper their chance for House control considered better that even Thus it is certain that they will exert every possible influence to carry the Wisconsin dis trict which the veteran Cooper had represented for 36 years. Faced with possible loss of control in the House and further injury to its prestige throughout the country, the Republican Party will stubbornly contest for the place.
 If there is somewhere from which the shades of the departed view such mundane things the spirit of MT. Cooper will probably witness the struggle with sardonic amusement For the party which will seek to keep his old district Republican was more often his enemy than his friend His insurgency was repellant to the organization and he was almost always of the minority which found itself at odds with the powers that be in the House He opposed them on many historic occasions including the Union Pacific controversy the rebel

MOTORING BILL CUT
BY ROAD REDUCTION
Shortening of Minnesota Highway
Lengths Will Aid
Autoists.

The economies that go with proper
highway building are frequently so
startling that they may be difficult to
believe
For instance, Minnesota this year will
reduce her trunk highway mileage by
IL miles through relocation of rights-of-
way for concrete highways. Estimating
that the original roads carried 1000
cars daily, as do many miles of Min
neSota trunk roads, the elimination Of
these IL miles will save II, 900 miles Of
travel daily.
In the course Of year more than
100000 miles of travel will be saved.
But reducing this saving to dollars, it
becomes even more amazing. 1t costs
about cents a mile to operate the
average car. At that rate Minnesota
motorists will be saved $3.50, 900 yearly
by the 11-mile reduction
Minnesota recently approved a $751;
900 900 bond issue for road improve
ment. This saving of $3.50, 900 men
toned above is nearly equal to half
the interest on bond issue of that
size
The 1881 road program in Minnesota
also eliminates So sharp turns and nine
railroad grade crossings. This Is a
noteworthy reduction in hazards.
The shortening of highways nearly
always accompanies permanent paving
and strangely, this is one Of
the benefits rarely considered by the
taxpayer when he goes to the polls to
vote on highway bond issues. The long
est way home may be the sweetest, but
not the cheapest. .

REALTY TAX MOVE
OPPOSED BY HENRY
A. A. A. Head Condemns Use
of Money Raised From
MotoriSt.

Anticipating probable action by the
A. A. A. national convention, which
meets in West Baden, Ind, on June 8,
Thomas p. Henry, president of the ma
tional motoring body, in effect charged
today that there Is an organized move
ment on foot to tighten real estate
taxes, this objective to be achieved by
using motor funds for general State
revenues and the virtual declaration of
a bodybuilding holiday.
"A group of large real estate opera
tors" said Mr.. Henry, "are advocating
the diversion of motor vehicle taxes to
the States general fund so as to tighten
the burden upon land by placing it on
the n1otorist.
Sees Selfish Motive.
"They would rob the highway fund
and proclaim a bodybuilding holiday,
because there Is no market for sub
division lots, anyway. When times were
prosperous they were the ones who
pressed hardest for every form of high
way improvement that would make
their lands more accessible, more useful
and consequently more valuable"
While Mr.. Henry's statement took
the form of an open letter to the Gov
ernor Of Michigan and specifically re-
TERED to proposals advanced in that
State, the A. A. A. executive inferred
that the Michigan movement has its
counterpart in many States and for this
reason endangers the national road
building program, its contribution to the
solution Of unemployment and at the
same time provides an incentive for
wholesale diversion of motor tax funds.
The reason, said Mr. Henry, why the
motor tax Is proving so attractive from
the standpoint of general State revenue
40 lad f~,-
its concentration in the interest of
efficient road building, that they pay
as they go, and that, unlike many other
taxes, motor levies cannot be concealed
and delinquency in payment means that
the car cannot be used.
Hardships on MOtOriSt.
"a landowner may be delinquent and
owe his taxes and still enjoy the full
use Of his property, but when the owner
of an automobile has no money with
which to buy a new license he and his
family are prevented by law from using
the vehicle until the tax Is paid. Gov
eminent trusts the landowner, but
makes the car owner pay C. o. D.
THE efficiency in the spreading and
collecting of motor taxes in this State is.
in large part, responsible for the fasci-
nation that the automobile revenues in
aggregate have for every job holder and
tax spender. There is only one collect
ing agency for motor taxes and there
are at present the minimum number of
disbursing agencies"
Comparing taxes in Michigan (where
the tax approaches the average for the
country, Mr.. Henry declared that
levies on the automobile, based on its
average value over its lifetime, are now
nearly five times greater than taxes on
land Of the same value and for the same
period.

3. A policy of automobile liability
insurance acceptable to the State Of
Maryland
In connection with item 3 the ins1r-
ance policy acceptable to the State COM
plies with the act If the carrier issuing
it is licensed to transact business In
Maryland. It is only when such S=rrie-
is not licensed TO execute an insurance
business in Maryland that the Maryland
act specifically enumerates conditions to
be met by the carrier for State recogni-
ton Of its policies OF insurance.
A further stipulation regarding the
insurance and incorporated into the act
generally is that indemnity in the
amount Of $4,000 be furnished for one
injured, $4,000 for two or more, and
that $1,000 be furnished to cover prop
erty damage.
Now, just what are the requirements
by the State of Maryland of insurine
carriers not licensed by the State? They
are these, viz:
Maryland Requirements.
(a) Execution by the carrier OF q
power Of attorney authorizing the COM
missioner to accept service In any ac-
ton arising out Of a motor accident in
Maryland
(b) Adoption of a resolution by the
carriers executives to construe their
policies to cover their assured's while
operating in Maryland.
(c) Agree to accept as final any judg-
ment arising out of an accident occur
ring in Maryland If in the motorists
home State there is a similar law in
effect to which the carrier gives due
recognition.
1t can readily be seen that the easiest
way for the nonresident motorist TO
comply with the new financial respon-
sibility act Of Maryland is to secure
sound indemnity in an insurance car
rier licensed to do business in Mary
land. Failure to do so would impose
serious doubt, not only as to the essen
tial validity of his policy in the State in
question but even as important involve
the serious item Of the probable liability
Of his insuring carrier to Immediately
help him should he get into distress.

DISTRICT MOTORISTS SUBJECT
TO MARYLAND INSURANCE LAW
Financial Responsibility Act Effective in
Neighboring State January l Affects
Residents of Washington. :

For some years since the use of the
automobile came into existence in this
country there has been widespread
demand on the part of the public for
the adequate financial support Of these
of its members who have been killed
or manned by the negligent motorist.
The problem has been one Of affording
maximum relief TO the injured with the
minimum expense to the public.
In accordance with this growing need
various States throughout the country
have enacted So-called financial re-
sponSibility laws with the object in view
OF reducing to q minimum the per
capita tax necessary to hospitalize and
support the growing list of injured
through the fundamentally of the
automobile. 1t so happens that Mary
land Is now one Of these States.
Clearly Defined.
BY an act approved April IT, last.
adding 10 new sections to article Sc of
the annotated code of Maryland, to be-
come effective January /, 1892 the obi
CATION OF the operator or car owner,
both resident and nonresident, by way
OF proving his financial responsibility
after his first accident in the State Of
Maryland is clearly defined.
II Is a fact of real importance to note
that every District of Columbia motorist
or car owner Immediately upon crossing
the District Line into Maryland be-
comes subject to this act.
In substance this act provides that
after an accident involving a District
OF Columbia driver or car owner in
which personal injury or property
damage or both is done in an amount
in excess of $50 and final Judgment
remains unanswered following a period
OF 80 days subsequent to rendition of
same, that the commissioner of motor
vehicles Is authorized to transmit to
the nonresident offenders resident
State an abstract Of the final judgment
existing against him, together with
written proof Of his ability to respond
In damages. On the failure of the
motorist to furnish the latter the conse-
quences are serious, involving the strong
possibility that he will be refused the
privilege Of driving in his home State,
as well as having judgment against
him.
Satisfactory Evidence.
How, it may be asked, can the nom
resident motorist furnish evidences of
financial responsibility satisfactory to
meet the requirements of this new act?
A glance at the act reveals the answer.
1t provides three methods of proof, viz:
/. Deposit by offender Of S11 900 in
cash or other collateral satisfactory to
the commissioner of motor vehicles of
the State Of Maryland with the State
treasurer following first ACCIDENT, adj
ditional evidence of responsibility to be
furnished when demanded; or
