Sir. James R, Garfield, head of the
bureau of corporations, continues to
maintain that under existing conditions
Insurance U commerce and therefore
may be subjected to federal regulation
through affirmative action by congress.
Mr. Garfield suggests the enactment of
law providing for the granting of a
federal franchise or license, with the
Imposition of all necessary requirements
as to corporate organization and man
agement as a condition precedent to the
grant of such franchise or license. He
would also require such reports and re
turns as may be desired as a condition
of the retention of the franchise or li
cense. He will doubtless urge these
views in his annual report, but whether
or not with the endorsement of the ad
ministration cannot be said, president
Roosevelt believes that there should be
some federal regulation of Insurance,
but be may not make any suggestion as
to the course to be taken.
It will be interesting to note as a con
tribution to the discussion of the subject
that former United k States Senator
Chandler Is among those who assert that
there is no constitutional ground upon
which congress can regulate insurance
companies created by the states. Mr.
Chandler says: "The reason for federal
supervision and regulation of nearly all
the corporations of the country are many
and plausible. But has the general gov
ernment the right to take control and
give such supervision' and regulation?
We control and regulate the railroads
under the commerce clause.. But under
what clause shall we take charge of all
the fire and life insurance companies and
follow up our mission by Including all
other corporations which do business
with the citizens of Wore than one
state?" There are some very able law
yers who do hot concur ri Mr. Chand
ler's view, but no one can Bay what
opinion will prevail in congress, when
the stfbject shall be presented to that
body. Meanwhile it is receiving the
public attention and discussion which
Its manifest importance merits.

dividends from the copybook motto,
"Honesty is the best poller."

FOR A SEW COMMERCIAL TREATY.
It la stated that on the return of the
German ambassador to the United
States, about the middle of this month,
he will be prepared to take up with the
Department of State the negotiation of
a new commercial treaty. He will then
reveal the attitude of the German em
peror on this Important subject and it is
said to be the hope of the administra
tion that the German government will
adopt a reasonable policy in connection
with trade matters. It is apprehended
that unless a satisfactory agreement can
be reached during the coming winter a
disastrous trade war will be precipitated
which will lead to serious consequences
for both countries. The new German
tariff which, goes Into effect a few
months hence is hostile to American In
terests, barring out of Germany prac
tically all American meats and grains.
.It is understood to be the desire of
the Washington administration to nego
tiate a treaty that will be acceptable to
the senate. It Is realized, however, that
this will be no easy matter. The senate
has not only shown a determined hos
tility to reciprocity treaties generally,
but so far as Germany is concerned
there will doubtless be opposition on
the ground that the course taken by that
country has the character of an attempt
to force a new trade agreement Prob
ably there are senators who feel that it
would be better to run the risk of a
trade war, if Germany Is prepared to go
as far as that, than to yield in this mat
ter. It Is argued that in the event of a
trade war this country would lose no
more than Germany and is in a much
better condition to stand the loss. Al
ready there Is great popular complaint
In Germany because of the scarcity and
high price of meats and the situation
will bebome much more serious after the
new tariff goes Into effect
Our trade with Germany has attained
to large proportions and a number of
American interests are profoundly anx
ious that It be maintained. These in
terests have- strongly expressed them
selves on the subject and will bring all
their Influence to bear in favor of a reci
procity treaty, if an agreement satisfac
tory to the administration should be ne
negotiated. Strong as this influence is,
however, it Is very doubtful if It will
be able to overcome the- antagonism of
the senate to reciprocity.
OMAHA INVESTMENTS STAND II WH.
One feature of the evidence adduced
in the New York legislative insurance
investigation, which has a local bearing
upon Omaha, shows decidedly to the ad
vantage of investments in Omaha realty.
During the '80s the New York Life
Insurance company erected a chain of
palatial office buildings in the then
booming cities of the central west
While varying In size and cost, these
structures were projected along the
same general plan as fireproof office
buildings of the first rank, located In the
heart of the business center. A tabu
lation of the financial exhibit of these
buildings makes up as follows:

POLITICAL CVhVITlOXS J2f CVBA.
If General Gomez, . leader of the lib
eral party in Cuba and recently its can
dldate for president of the republic, cor
rectly represents political conditions
there they are about as bad as tbey well
could be. Gomes arrived In New York
a few days ago, it has been assumed to
report to this government en the Cuban
situation, and in an Interview declared
that liberty in the island republic is a
faree. He charged the party in power,
called the moderates, with numerous po
litical outrages, such aa Imprisoning lib
eral leaders and adopting unfair means
to gain the elections. He stated that
today judges In Cuba do not decide in
accordance with law, but according to
their political views. Teachers are ap
pointed ouly on political preferment and
all are compelled to give a percentage
of their salaries to tlif campaign fund
of the controlling political element
Gomes expressed the opinion that the
government of the United States has an
Indirect responsibility In the matter.
"According to the Piatt amendment the
American government will intervene in
the event of the disturbance of public
order and the Cuban government takes
advantage of this. It Is with the Piatt
amendment In view thai the Cuban gov
ernment commits all its Improprieties,
assured that the people of Cuba will not
protest by force or violence." It Is to
be Inferred from this Jhat but for the
amendment which Is a part of the
Cuban constitution, the party of which
Gomes is the leader, might now in
open insurrection against the govern
ment As to the charge that the amend
ment encourages political wrongdoing on
the part of the government some more
trustworthy testimony win be required.
specially in view of the fact that Gomeg
has always vigorously antagonized this
provision for American intervention in
Cubim affairs.
However, there can be no doubt that
political conditions in Cuba could be
very greatly Improved and perhaps will
be under a .second term for President
Palma, who unquestionably has a pa
triotic desire to make the republic
wbrthy of the world's respect and also
to promote Its Industrial and commer
cial welftrre. That there is still an In
surrectionary spirit in Cuba is not to be
doubted. Indeed It was virtually ad
mitted by Gomez. This may openly
manifest Itself at any time in a way to
call for American Intervention.

In explanation It should be said that
the policy of the insurance company has
been to carry these investments as
nearly as possible on their books at a
5 per cent basis, and that so much of
the cost has been charged off as to bring
the book value down to a capitalization
of net Income at 5 per cent In this
way the building at Kansas City has
been reduced by fiOO.OOQ; the building
at Omaha by $000,000; the building at
Minneapolis by $525,000.
The relative comparison of Invest
ments as found In the column giving the
per cent of present Income to the orig
inal cost shows the Kansas City build
ing as yielding a trifle over 3 per cent
and the Omaha building a trifle less than
2 per cent while the buildings tn Min
neapolis, St Paul and Montreal are re
turning considerably less. Taking into
consideration the fact that these build
ings were erected at a time when build
ing was quite costly, and upon real es
tate bought at boom prices, which have
not yet been regained, to say nothing
of the constant dividends from them as
an advertisement these real estate in
vestments, especially In Omaha and
Kansas City, stand high beside the aver
age run of insurance company investments.

Alum Baking Powders arc Condemned by Physicians
Fifty-two different brands of alum and alum-phosphate baking powders were
recently analyzed by an official chemist. In every one of these fifty-two different
brands sulphuric add was reported in large quantities, frequently greater than twenhr
five per cent of the whole weight of the baking powder 1
Chemical tests show that a portion of the alum from alum baking powder
remains as such and unaltered in the bread.
A1"01 baking powders are extravagant. They cost but two cents a pound to
make, yet they are sold at twenty-five cents a pound, or twenty-five ounces for
twenty-five cents.
But, can the housewife afford, no matter at what price, to use a baking powder
which puts alum and sulphuric acid in her food?

From the birth of the Mexican republic
to date the government and the Taquls
have been almost continuously at war. The
tribe claims to be Independent and has
steadily refused to accept Mexican rule.
Every effort- of the Mexican government
to enforce Its authority has met with armed
resistance. Every attempt at the alienation
of their lands has Invited massacre. It
has been represented at various times that
the tribe was subjected but subsequent
events Invariably proved the assertion to
be false. General Torres, who conducted
the last Taqul campaign", adopted the cruel
policy of extermination, sparing neither
men. women or children, in the hope of
establishing Mexican sovereignty over the
tribe's territory. The contract entered In
to with the Imperial Japanese Colonisation
company Is virtually an open confession
of the failure of Torres' policy and the cam
paign and an admission that the Taquls
are as far as ever from being subjugated.
Recently negotiations for peace were made
by the government, but they failed because
the Taquls dictated terms which could not
be accepted. Now the government admits
Its Inability to eope with the problem with
its own military organization and la about
to try the doubtful experiment of enlisting
an alien race to attempt Its solution. The
scheme Is, at best, a risky one, as the alien
element Introduced may become as much
of a source of trouble to the government
as the Taquls now are, for the Japanese
colonists may ultimately And the task of
policing the Taquls more difficult and less
profitable to them than that of co-operating
with the tribe against Mexican aggressions.

The poverty of India Is directly due to
the fact that the economic policy of the
government has ruined Industries and re

port entirely on agriculture. Originally
India, was a manufacturing country, and
had a large export trade. This baa been
suppressed by high duties, and importation
has been encouraged. For exsmple, cot
ton goods manufactured in India are so
heavily taxed tor home consumption that
they have no advantage of prices over the
cotton goods of Lancaster. Agriculturists
are reduced to poverty on account of the
high land tax and the vigorous land policy.
The lend tax Is uncertain, liable to re
vision now and then, and the government
professes a light to M per cent of the
economic rent, and sometimes to more In
the shape of land cesses. The poverty of
the country msy be Judged by the official

nowise abated. On the contrary, it is en
couraging them to proceed with the devel
opment of these machines upon a larger
scale than has been attempted before. The
first of a new type of these vessels Is to be
constructed at Cherbourg and will be called
a "submarine cruiser," on account of its
exceptional sMe, 182 feet long and fifteen
feet beam. This formidable craft Will have
eight horlxontal rudders and two propel
lers, the whole 'worked by two electrical
motors, supplied with current by two sets
of accumulators and two four-cylinder
petrol engines. Water tight compartments
are to be fitted along the sides of the
vessel, over two-thirds of its length. The
petrol tanks will be placed In the center,
one on each side. At this rate rfre may
look out for submarine llne-of-battle ships
before long.
