The Commerce Court
The Commerce Court must have the
final consideration of Congress and
President Wilson during this session
of Congress.
' With consideration fair, logical,
complete consideration, free from the
shadows of prejudice, which individual
officials and individual judgments have
cast the government cannot discon
tinue the court without stepping backt
ward.
The present age, with it- man clous
development of art and science,' and
the other components of what we call
the higher ciili7ation. is commonly
called an age of specialists. In every
branch of human knowledge and ac
tivity, the best work, the real work is
.done by specialists.
In medicine, the family physician re
fers his patient to the 'pccialNt who
has devoted his life to the study of
the particular disorder from which the
patient is suffering. In the law. the
general practitioner refers his client
to the man who has specialized in
criminal or civil cases. In commercial
life, in mechanics, the man doing most
to adxance humanin is the man doing
special w ork.
The Commerce Court was intended
to be. and is, a court of specialists, of
jurists, instructed by the duties laid
upon them by their masters, the people,
to adjudicate matters of law and fact
appertaining to the subject of inter
state commerce The court was in
tended to relieve, and it docs relieve,
the I nitcd States courts of general
jurisdiction from the congestion of lit
igation which appeals from the In
terstate Commerce Commission neces
sarily put upon them.
The purpose of the court certainly
was good If its judgments, failing
of popular approval, have seemed not
good, if any individual members of its
official personnel have seemed un
worthy, the American people, looking
back upon about a century and a quar
ter of history, in which even their Su
preme Court of the United States has
not been perfected beyond har-h crit
icism, certainly should determine that
this bench of specialists should have
a better trial than is afforded in the
short time of its existence.
Tiie present administration delights
in the nomenclature of progrcssive
ness Surch. if the administration de
serves such descripthes as its friends
like best to attach to it. it cannot log
ically a1olish its court of specialists
and put back upon its general workers
in the judiciary labors which its spe
cialists of the Interstate Commerce
Commission can do most efficiently,
of course, but not as a court of final
rcort.
To abolish the Commerce Court and
give over interstate commerce to the
Federal District Courts of general ju
risdiction is to go back from the spe
cialist to the familv doctor.
London Times Descends from Pedestal.
The only surprising thing about the
announcement of the price reduction of
the London Times from threepence to
twopence is that it did not come years
ago. No doubt that this greatest of
all newspapers has given its readers
full value for the threepence received
often a good deal more but the ob
vious truth is that in these days of
the big halfpenny London papers there
are not sufficient readers left to sup
port a threepence paper, though it
may be really worth its price and
more.
Inc London limes is a sort ot a
British national institution, fpr which
reason its domestic affairs always have
been a matter of legitimate prTblic in
terest ,
The Times, after the price reduction,
should lessen its quantity, but keep up
its quality. It might also drop party
politics. It is difficult to understand why
an ' organ that is practically without a
rival in point of general merit, hence
one which everybody who can afford
it wants to read should dish up to
its many and intelligent readers the
claims of one party only. This is a
dangerous doctrine from a purely
business point of ' view, and as the
Times is now trying for an enlarged
clientele by reducing its price, it
might well widen this appeal still more
by revising its political methods.
Why not run political columns for
each party in fairness to each. In
this respect our greatest contemporary
could learn from American newspa
pers which throw open their news col
umns to all alike, no matter what their
editorial policy 1
' GvtteMaliL ""
Preparations to bring Guatemala to
time are progressing at London. Th
British government; of course, is re
sponding to those British bondholders
whose claims Guatemala so long has
ignored. So long as the Roosevelt and
Taft administrations' recognized a re
sponsibility as between delinquent Cen
tral American states and European
creditor nations, little was heard from
London. A dispatch from the British
capital describes Downing Street's re
luctance to intervene, but Guatemala's
plea to Washington for protection
from British coercion has riled thef
British lion.
Diplomatic relations between Great
Britain and Guatemala are to be susr
pended on May 15 unless the little re
public shows signs of paying up.
As we have already pointed out, the
administration's undefined policy with
regard to the obligations of debt
ridden Latin-American states N leaves
the qucstioil in much the same posi
tion that it occupied a dozen years ago.
President Roosevelt, in his message
of December 3, 1901, wrote:
The Monroe doctrine has nothing to
do with the commercial relations of
any American power, save that it in
truth allows each of them to form such
as it desires. We do not guarantee any
state against punishment if it miscon
ducts itself, provided the punishment
does not take the form of the acquisi
tion of territory by any non-American
power.
Within a week the German Ambas
sador addressed to John Hay, then
Secretary of State, a note which re
cited Germany's futile endeavors to
collect the claim of the German Bank
of Discount from Venezuela and gave
notice of this programme of coercion:
After the posting of an ultimatum,
first of all the blockade of the more
important Venezuelan harbors that is.
principally the harbors of La Guaira
and Porto Cabcllo would have to be
considered as an appropriate measure
of coercion, as the levying of duties
for import and export being nearly the
only source of income for Venezuela
would, in this way, be made impossible.
Likewise it would be difficult in this
way to provide the countn, which de
pends on the import of corn, with
food. If this measure docs not seem
efficient, we would have to consider
the temporary .occupation on our part
of different Venezuelan harbors and
the levying of duties in those places.
Ft will be interesting to observe
whether such a situation is to return.
Collecting international debts by co
ercion might be considered by some
as on a par with imprisoning men for
debt Will the Wilson interpretation
of the Monroe doctrine permit it?
The Comptrollership.
We arc not surprised to learn that
there are as many as thirty applicants
for the position of Comptroller of the
Currenc), made vacant by the resigna
tion of Mr. Lawrence O. Murray last
month, to become president of a local
trust company. A post in 'the Federal
-service that is endowed with a salary
of five or six thousand dollars per
year, provided it is not a foreign ap
pointment, naturally would be much
sought after.
Yet the compensation will not be
quite as large or satisfactory as here
tofore. Mr. Murray's salary as Comp
troller was $5,000, and, besides, he
drew an extra $1,000 as disbursing of
ficer of the old Frcedmen's Savings
and Trust Company funds. The his
tory of that institution, which was or
ganized about fifty yearsago by Peter
Cooper and other philanthropists, was
one of misfortune. Bad management
ruined it and caused its failure many
years ago: a commission was named
to liquidate the concern and wind up
its affairs. The work finally was
turned -ocr to the Comptroller of the
Currency, and recently the final trans
action in the settlement of its affairs
was made and the account closed.
Hence, further payment of this
$1,000 ceases, and the next Federal
Comptroller of the Currency will be
obliged to get along with a pittance
of $5,000 a year, which joking aside
is not a great deal for a man of fam
ily in the social swim, as things are
counted in Washington nowadays.
.
NATION'S MEN ;OF AFFAIRS IN CARTOON
Shifting the Burden.
Consumers, as a result of the re
duction in tariff duties, which the
lower House adopted Thursday, will
gain in proportion of about $8 for
even additional dollar paid- into the
Federal Treasury, if the following very
distinct comment, lucidly presented by
a British critic and economist, is
borne out by the facts:
If the United States carries its new
financial proposals into law it will have
transferred a considerable amount of
taxation from the poor to the rich
And it will have done more for, of
course, import duties raise not merely
the price of imported goods, but the
prices of home production of the same
kind. Consequently, when you abolish
an import duty upon "an article of com
mon consumption, and obtain the rev
enue which the protective duty pro
duced by substituting for it a direct
tax on incomes over a certain level,
you relieve the poor of an amount of
taxation much larger than that by
which you increase the taxation ofsthc
well-to-do. The relief to the poor is
out of all proportion to the loss of
revenue by the abolition of the im
port duty.
The burdens of free government
should be adjusted, as nearly as pos
sible, to the burden-bearing ability of
the taxpayers. But outside of this con
sideration there is a large fiscal in
justice to be repaired. For almost a
century a disproportionate share of
the cost of the public service has been
bornet by those' citizens who, at the
same time, were the victims of Indi
rect, taxation for the benefit ' of the
protected interests.

Ever since The Big Stick flirt put

Since he got into the Cabinet work

steadily upward, until it is now
pretty high.

President Huerta, of Mexico, Refutes
to Take Up Matter of Special
Interest.
The effect of President Iluerta's retali
ation asrahiht the Kovernmcnt or me
United States for its refusal to recognize
the government of Mexico will be fur
ther to complicate the relations now ex
isting between the two capitals. Presi
dent Huerta's announcement to Ambas
sador "Wilson that he finds he must
refuse to take up such matters of spe
cial interest to the United States as
American claims in view of the fact
that "the government of Mexico has no
personality before the government of
the United States' is unprecedented,
but It is no more unprecedented than
is the refusal of President Wilson to
recognizo the Huerta government. Con
sequently, while routine business will be
carried on between the two governments
much as before, an additional irritant
has been injected into a situation which
has been ever since Marcli 4 rather un
satisfactory, to say the least.
President Wilson has made it most
clear here that he does not intend to
recognize the Huerta government in
Mexico, and that he will recognize only
that government which comes into power
as the result of a popular election.
It has long ben known that Huerta
has been resentful of the refusal of the
United States to recognize his govern
ment, -which has been recognized by
Great Britain and Spain. .It is now be
lieved that he hopes to embarrass the
Wilson administration by bringing down
upon the President strong pressure from
Americans with claims asrainst Mexico
The Mexican sitution is unique Inas
much as It is the first time any admin-'
istration in the United States has ever
scrutinized the methods by which a
government in Mexico came into power
and applied a sort of a moral test for
qualification for recognition. Popular
sentiment in the United States was ar
rayed against the Huerta regime in the
beginning because of the methods by
which it came to being. President Wil
son has. as far as can be ascertained
here, shared in this general repugnance
of the manner of creating the Huerta
government, and is waiting for the
election of a successor to the provisional
president before sanctioning any govern
ment in Mexico.
Henry Lrfine Wilson. Ambassador to
Mexico, has been openly in favor of
recognition of the Huerta government
ever since it was organized.
NEW JAPANESE TREATY
MAY BE THE OUTCOME
Alien Law Test in Courts May Be Fol
lowed by Framing of An
other Pact
The difficulties between Japan and the
United States over the California anti
alien land laws will be settled without
any formal interchange of views if
Secretary of State Bryan's present policy
is successful.
Mr. Bryan yesterday informally ac
quainted Viscount Chinda, the Japanese
Ambassador, with" the desire of the ad
ministration to settle the California
land law in an amicable manner, and It
was learned that as a result Japan
probably will present no written note
on the subject.
Mr. Bryan's view Is that as a tempor
ary assurance to Japan the California
law may be attacked In the courts, in
which event it may be held unconsti
tional. As a permanent relief. Bryan
has suggested the framing of a new
treaty. This would consume a long time
and a considerable exchange of views.
That Japan is fully satisfied with the
action of the administration was evi
dent. Mr. Bryan will have another
conference with Ambassador Chinda to
day, at which farther details of the pro
pospd adjustment will be discussed. On
account of the informal manner in which
the proposed adjustment is to be brought
about, it was considered wise not to
make public any of the details at this
time.
The only danger in the present situa
tion is believed to He in the attitude of
the Japanese people, and it is Secre
tary Bryan's belief that an announce
ment can be made within a short time
that will allay any anti-American senti
ment in Japan and make easier the task
of the Japanese government in bringing
about a complete understanding with
the United States.
The conference between Secretary
Bryan 'and Ambassador Chinda will be
held at 9:30 o'clock.
Yesterday Mr. Bryan left on the 12:30
train for New York, where he spoke
last night at a dinner given to dele
gates from England here to arange for
the centennial celebration of the Ghent
treaty of peace between England and
the United States.

Vice President Comments
Cenrge Han ey'n Siicech.
Tn answer to Col. George TIarvev's
charge, made at a dinner in Xew York
of representatives from the Trust Com
panies of America, to the effect that
Vice President Marshall's criticism of
wealth acted as an "incitement to the
predatory poor," the Vice President said
yesterday:
"If anybody will produce a public ut
terance of mine advocating the curtail
ment of the accumulation or distribution
of honest wealth, except by a fair in
heritance tax, I will go to Wall Street
and personally apologize.
"In the course of a long professional
career, however, I have ascertained that
the witness who 'had knowledge of fraud
invariably got mad when he was Inter
rogated as to the fraud."
The Vice President at first was in
clined to take the matter as a Joke. He
said, however, that he wished to have.
Senate Committee Hears Witnesses,
but Indian Commissioners
Board Is Retained.
A determined effort was made by the
Senate Committee on Indian Affairs yes

Commissioners. It finally was agreed
that the question would be left open un
til after Jthe proposed investigation of
Indian affairs is completed.
Senators La Follette and Townsend
made an ineffectual effort to have the
appropriation for the board increased, so
that it might be more efficient.
Charges of inefficiency among Indian
inspectors were made by Mrs. Laura
Kellogg, and the heirship law was at
tacked by. Thomas Sloan, a Winnebago
Indian lawyer. The committee agreed to
increase the lump appropriation for In
dian schools $!50,000. making a total of
$1,"0.000 for this purpose.
"I heartily approve of the proposed in
vestigation by the Senate of the admin
istration of Indian affairs." said F. II.

dian Affairs, yesterday.
"The more first-hand, accurate infor
mation Senators have of conditions on
reservations the easier will be the tak
of the administrative officer In charge
of the work. The Senate should have ob
tained detailed information long ago."
Senator Townsend. who Introduced the
resolution for investigation, declared
that he had no charges to make against
the administration of the service, but
thought Congress should know for wu&t
