The excuse offered by tho administration oetuorrats for nullifying the frco tolls plank In tlio Baltimore platform Is that It conflicts wltu another platform declaration proclaiming op position to tho principle of subsidy. Hut while mc aro disputing ovor tho policy of encouraging our own shipping Industry, there Is ono coun try that Is not only not afraid of subsidies, but is alive to the opportunities which tho opening of tho canal will present. . . Word from Japan ts to tho effect that tho Japaneso Dlot has passed a bill designed to pro mote a now titeamsljlp service by tho Nippon Yusen Kalsha between Japan and New York through the canal. By this bill provision in made for payment of a subsidy of $50,000 n voyage for seventeen voyages a year. This steamship lino Is now maintaining regular serv ice between Japan and the Pacific coast, and what is contemplated therefo-o is nn extension direct to New York. It Is fair to Infer that the $50,000 which the Japanese government will pay for each steamship voyage will moro than relmburso the tolls exacted for passage through tho canal and no one will set up violation of ony treaty obligation. True, tkls has nothing to do with our Amer ican coastwise shipping, but It must mako us rejoice that Japan appreciates so highly the value of the canal built by American Ingenuity and enterprise. sib a Sevcntfor-a-Quarter Huntr Uni. i By tho Issuance of a temporary .'injunction against Its enforcement, Judgo Serfrs has hunt'; up tho seven'-for.'a'-quarter Initiative ordinance Indefinitely anil the street railway company wins tho first skirmish In what will probably be a long-drawn legal battle.- In other wort'n.

Altogether, tho prospect Is a dreary one for the chautalkors and fenco-bulldors, particularly the democrats, who aro up against the taBk ot squaring Issues with the people largoly on ac count of tholr now tariff law, with which tho country as a wholo acorns to be much dla Batlsflod. So far as tho chautauqua8 aro con cerned,, they may have to go without tho larger part of their congressional supply of speakers for whllo chautalklng and political fence building havo In many cases become one and tho sanjo thing those days, tho neceaalty of mak ing previous engagements will militate against booking many membora of oongress liable to bo hold in their places at XVashlngton by the pnrtv whip. , Possibly tho president has tho Idea that It will not take much time for his partisans to put th6ir fences in order. Or has he concluded that tho dilapidation la so cqpplote that the less time tho hotter? Our Country Abroad in Movies.. According to export' figures," tho fiscal year will Bhow shipment' of 96,000,()00 linear feet of moving picture film from tho United States to foreign countries more than 36,000 miles In all. Only about 7,000 miles of tho fjlra aro exposed pictures setting forth stage and real life In America, however. That, of course, is enough to" give a. Very oxtensive idea of what w are and what Ave are dplng hero In this country. The ordinary business concorn that relies largely on advertising for results would unhos itatlngly pronounce that a fairly good meaaura of publicity. But what of the quality? That Is tho quos tlon for our country. Aro these 7,000 miles of film about euch aa we see In the average mov ing picture placo in the United States, portray ing he harrowing scenes of wild west life-. In diana and cowboys In battle", bandits robbing trains tnd stages and otherwise terrorizing the natives. If this Is tho character of advertising we aro getting through this channel of publicity then so much the worse for us. As it Is. a good many people. Jiot only in distant lands, but in tho eastern part of our dwn country;' imagine that the western half of the United States la still a land of wild and desperate life. .

Letters from n Pnlltlrnl Ilrnthrn Mrxlrp. 80MKW1IERB, May 12. -To the BdJtor of The Hec: It Is not my purpose to write a history. I shall only touch on such things as concern the t'nlted States And-such other matters aa aro necescary to a proper understanding of the situation. The third president of Mexico was Vin cent Guerrero, a mulatto, the man who act on foot tho Insurrection which finally culminated in the Independence of Mex ico. This man had been born n slave! and, on becoming president, he freed his race. Ho, In a certain aense, he was the Lincoln of Mexico. Mr. Editor, I am now entering upon a sketch of tho darkest chapter In the his tory of our country. That part of the Mexican state of Coahulla south of the RIo Grande had been settled by adven turers from the United States. They were nearly all from below the Mason and Dixon's line; and Hamncl Houston, the squawninn; James Howie, the In ventor of the knife which bears his nam- and David Crockett who needs no Intro duction were fair sample. These peoplo believed In and practiced slavery. They rebelled against the edict of ' emancipa tion. Mind, you, this was not the secce elon of a stato from the Mexican federa tion. It was tho rebellion of an undcflncJ .portion ot a state ngalnst a constitu tional law. Owing to the remoteness of the district, afterwards called Texas, anil to Internal troubles In Mexico, these ou' lawa succeeded In keeping Up tho sem blance of an Independent government for u few years. In tho meantime Mexico had gathered her wind ad. .was prepar Ing to reconquer thq rebellious province. Then Texan as she called herself turned 'and whimpered lor admission to the American union. This meant war with Mexico, and this waa the Issue In our presidential campaign of 1R44, when Henry Clay of Immortal fpme went down before the Intellectual bantam weight. James IC. Polk-tho third person In tho trinity of mediocrities who have occu pied the XVhlte House, Vlr: Monroe, Plerco and Polk. Oh, tell It not In Oath, neither publish it In tho streets of Asle lon. John C Calhoun-the ablest and most unscrupulous statesman America ever -produced waa tho manipulator of the senate. Consistency required us to deal with Texas aa with nn Independent gov ernment. How could one annex her with out a treaty? A treaty required a rati flcatlon by a two-thirds vole of the sen ate. But moro than one-third of tho sen ators were opposed to annexation. Then this man Calhoun-the strict construc tionist of the constltutlon-thls political chameleon, with the Intellect of an Arls tole and the conscience of a snake, be thought himself of the expedient of a Joint resolution of both houses of congress. And so It waa done. Calhoun and every-, body else knew this act waa unconstltu tlonal. DER HEIDE. Sera. Tracks of Stnndnnl oil. NORTH LOUP, Neb., May 12.-To the Editor of The Uce; Can the fact be es tablished that the present democratic administration Is playing Into the hands of associated corporate wealth? Let us take a look at the subject and find by the cold legal fac.ts. Last year a news note was published , through the Associated Press reports to the effect that a new method "of giving awa-y Our natural resources had beon'Se vlsed by Secretaries Lane and Houston. Tho news note reads: WASHINGTON, D. C. July 29, 1913.-A new policy In granting water power per mits was begun today when authority for development of an electric project, with an ultimate capacity of 350,000 horse power, on tho Pend d'Orellle river, Wash ington, was granted to the International Power and Manufacturing company. The grant may run perpetually, and can be revoked only for violation or Its terms or the provisions ot tho general regula tions. At the time this newa note appeared I felt' certain that the Baltimore resolu tion In kindly omitting Standard Oil from, condemnation had a far-reaching effect, and I, therefore, sent to Washington for a copy of the franchise. In studying Its provisions I find many legal phrases carefully masked by a multitude of words a sure Indication of Standard Oil methods. Here Is ono provision; Section R. No compensation for tho "per mission (franchise) given will be required prior to tho year 1925; but on or before February I. 1924, tho permittee (holder of the franchise) shall pay, by certified check, to the order of tho secretary of the Intorlor. At any time not less than ten years after tho date for the first payment un der this- section or after the last revision of the rates of compensation the secre taries may revise such rates after appli cation by notice to the .permittee and Im pose such now rates of compensation, un der a rule which shall, be uniform for all -permittees under like conditions. fnder the above provisions the reader may readily see that no chango ot rates for elctrlo energy can" bo effected prior to the year 1931, In another place In the franchise the following provision occurs: The maximum price at which electrio energy developed by or transmitted from the power project may, be disposed of to customers and consumers shall not ox ceed 8 cents per kUbwatf hour, and the maximum price atwhich such electric energy In excess of . 2.00ft, kilowatt hours per annum with an .'average annual de livery of more than J& per cent of the connected Installation wfthln the year may be disposed of to customers and con sumers shall not .exceed 2 cents per kilowatt hour. f.. Under these provisions' any consumer of electricity must, use,, 2,000 kilowatt hours per year In -order to obtain thn price of S cents, wldoh would amount to 1W per . annum. Now( 'p'ow many thou sands of families cannot? afford to pay per year for llghfj -If they cannot pay that amount for llghj annually they are subject .under the franchise to a price ofe cents per kllowafthour. Henc th 6-cent. price Is intended for Mr. Common rcopie. ana tno s-oent price for the man who Is able to make, a political noise. There are not many people who realise the fact that 3C0,0(X .horsepower has a greater efficiency than all the product of the oil fields of Kansas. In the event such product Is hurried In the locomotive boiler, computing the' efficiency at S per cent, which Is better than a locomotive can do. The price of St.nrtr mi i . democratic national campaign comes high, atautkk JOHNSON, Engineer. They Should "Worry. ' ' Washington rest. A Washington lecturer aya the women f Finland would feel insulted 1f men fllrtsd with them; if , the few photo graphs seen are at all representative, they should worry. Rural Credit Legislation Projeet Halts Because of the Large Difficulties that Present Themselves Complicated Prnlilrm In flnncr. National legislation designed to facilitate farm de velopment through loans at lower Interest rates than now obtains, owing to diverse views and vast dif ficulties goes over to the next session. The Wash Ington correspondent of the Boston Transcript. In an extended review of the subject, says the question Is a much harder nut to crack than many persons expected when It was commonly said thnt a bill once prepared by competent authority could be passed without much debate. Two commissions, one author ized by tha United Btatea government and anothei rent by the Southern Commercial congress, had visited Europe to study the subject of agricultural credits. Their reports were carefully prepared and voluminous, and It appeared not a wild Inference that when these had been digested and embodied In the form of a bill, the most authoritative word had been spoken. But the prophets of quick legislation did not take Into account the slse of the United States; the fact that a system which might work admirably In a country like Germany or Prance might disclose grave defects In a country where one state alone Is larger than Germany and France put together. Moreover, the people of the United States do not take as naturally to federal aid In their affairs as the people pf Europe, and often see an embarrassment In federal Intervention where Europeans would see only a help. InctilintlnK n Land Ilnnk Hill. Thus the rural credits bill did not emerge readily from the congressional Incubator. Several bills were Introduced, notably one by Senator Fletcher of Florida and Representative Moss of Indiana, em bodying the conclusions of the United States com mission. No bill has been reported yet by the bank ing and currency committee of either house. On the contrary, tho two committees side-stepped th whole subject, to a certain extent, by appointing a Joint sub committee charged with the duly of preparing a bill back of which tho Wilson administration would be willing to stand. Now it develops that serious differences exist among tho members ot both branches over funda mentals. Senator Hollls, for example',' would 'have a national land bank capitalized by the government, whllo Representative Moss and men of hfs ' school of thought give cogent reasons- why prlrate capital should bo employed. Representative Bathrlck has In. troduced a bill making the postal bank funds avail able for use by the land banks. This Is a detail, al though prohably an Important one, and may form a separata subject for serious discussion. Ift PrUntv Capital llentf The Fletcher-Moss bill .provides for the Incor poration with private capital of national farm land banka through the office of a national commissioner of National farm land banks, such tanks to bo established to the extent of one or more In the vari ous states, according as the necessity for their ex istence shall bo proved to the satisfaction of the commissioner. A principle upon which all are united Is that the mortgages taken upon farm property shall be Used an, the basis for an Issue of negotiable bonds which shall be non-taxable. It Is pointed out that this plan presents advan tages over any other, Inasmuch aa It would put up squarely to every community the responsibility for Its own transactions. In the middle western states, like Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and others In the corn belt, the land bank problem Is relatively simple, be cause the farm lands have a quick market' value, which would warrant free capital In organizing and supporting a bank devoted solely to farmers' loans. In this region Interest rates are relatively low, be cause almost any farmer can raise money easily, as his security Is sound and practically fluid. Farmers Mny Not Like This. ' No valid objection could be made to this plan If It would cdfer only states of the- character named. Bu t is said that f banka with private capital are to o organized and then federated' in. great districts covering several states the stockholders In the popu lar Mates will soon be some dissatisfied at receiving a rate of Interest onciquarter or onelialf less than the banks In another state may be paying because of tho risks and delays Incident to loans In virgin territory. In other words. It Is prophesied that If, say, eight districts should b oreated throughout the United States the lack of uniformity In profits due to varying Interest ratea would bring about dlssaatts faction that might cause the "collapse of ther -whole system. It. )s said also that farmer capitalists will be unwilling to subscribe their money for a. land bank In Indiana, for example, to be loaned out upon lapds of which they know nothing, away up In Montana. The government, by supplying the capjtal. of course, could provide a uniform rate of Interest although upon that point It may be remembered that In the federal reserve bank, system uniformity of In terest rates in the various districts Is not prescribed by law. The practical farmers of the middle west are said, to be doubtful as to the expediency either of-, borrowing government ' money "With wMdlt "t6' finance, tho land bank system, or of extending the operations of any Individual " bank beyond tho' terrN' tory of which It Is the more or less Immediate center. Some States May Itrject It. Representative Moss, who Is also, a prosperous farmer, summarized this middle west sentiment In about these words: "In my country we have what Is known as the 'gravel road' system, which, to my mind, represents the essence of what a 'land bank system should be. Suppose we want 'to build a road coating, say, J7.CO0. We get our estimates and apply to the county commissioners for a bond issue cover ing the cost. Bonds are then Issued and sold, and the contractors go to work. I obligate myself to pay a certain amount a year for twenty years. - If I fall to make my payments the atate has thn right to step In and sell my farm. "In other words, we capitalize our own improve ments; and that Is what I think should be done under thn proposed land bank , system. Let the banks be organized with private capital to operate in a cer tain limited territory. If the people of Montana, want money to develop their land, let them raise It. They know better than anyone else whether their lands are worth developing and will make good security. If they have not money enough In their own com munity there Is no objection to their going to Chi cago or 8t. Louis or anywhere else and raising it for their capital stock, but they should not take the money of one farming community- to pay for the de velopment of another, nor should they have ap praisers traveling away up from somewhere in the middle went tn Innk nv.r thrll- farm ljinria wh.n.v.p they want to make a loan. If some such plan as this j Is not adopted, I am very doubtful whether the scheme will prove attractive In many states."
