Oar legislators have been in session four weeks today and their time is nearly half way out, and so they are now "warming up" to their work, and it is to be hoped that they wili push their work actively so that there will not be the unseemly rush that characterizes the closing days of every Legislature One bill of national importance has passed the Senate, by an al most unanimous vote, nly one against it, and will no doubt be passed by the House almost unanimously. It is the bill to ratify the proposed., sixteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States for the levy ing of an income tax on corpora tions. Another bill of mueh import ance has been reported favorably by a unanimous vote of the joint committees of the Senate and Hotise, and will probably pass both bodies, the Senate and House, but not without some op position and discussion. This is the bill providing for a bond is sue of one million dollars for the erection of an administration building on the site of the pres ent Supreme Court and Agricul tural buildings, which are pro nounced unsafe. The bonds are to draw four per cent interest and to be payable in forty year3 from the first day of January, 1911. The proposed building is to be fireproof so as to preserve the valuable records and other documents of the State. IE this bill passes, as now seems prob able, we hope that the proposed building will not cost more than the amount stated in the bill. In most of the States whenever any public building is to be erected the cost first estimated is usually largely exceeded, and additional appropriations have to be made. One notable exception to this was in the construction of the fine capitol of Georgia, which js srad to have cost a few dollars less than the amount first esti mated and appropriated. A bill to increase the Govern or's salary to $6,000 a year (it is now S4.000) was passed by the Senate with only two negative votes, one of them being a Dem ocrat and the other a Republi can. As stated by Judge Star buck, the Republican leader in thp. Senate, it is a measure upon tomVh both narties could unite." This bill will no doubt be passed bv the House. The proposed in crease cannot go into effect until j the next Governor is inaugurat ed, and therefore Gov. Kitchin cannot be benefited by it. An increase in the salary has been recommended by all our recent Governors, Russell, Ay cock, member of the Legislature is in favor of some amendments to our State constitution, yet a ma jority seem to prefer to have the amendments voted on separately J ducts cheaper abroad than in the by the peple instead of calling a convention. The first "conference commit tee" that we have noticed ap pointed thus far during the ses sion was upon a bill to regulate the killing of game in Alamance county, changing the time with in which partridges may be hunt ed in i that county,. The House had passed the bill as introduced by the Representative from Ala mance, but the Senate amended it and then the House refused to concur in the Senate amendment, and thereupon, as is customary when the Senate and House do not concur, a conference com mittee was appointed, consisting of three Representatives and two Senators. This instance shows the necessity of an amendment to the State constitution by which the Legislature may be relieved of all such local matters, which ought to bo acted on by the county commissioners or oth er local officials. Many bilh have been intro duced to prevent the throwing of saw-dust in certain streams and much time wasted in their consideration, whereas all such matters ought to be under the control f the local authorities, or a general law might bs passed to prevent throwing saw-dust in any stream in the State. Increased appropriations are being asked for all public insti tutions of every kind- Several of these institutions were estab lished only a few years ago, at different sessions of the Legisla ture, with the understanding (if not positive promises) that the small appropriation at first asked would not be increased- Quite a number of bills have been intro duced in and passed by previous Legislatures to establish institu tions of different kinds, and those bills would always carry quite a small and reasoaable ap propriation, but in every such case the appropriation first made has-been insignificant compared with the increased appropriations made for them at each succeeding Legislature. The first appropri ations were entering wedges, for if they had been larger probably none of those bill3 would have been passed. A resolution has been intro duced in the House to appoint a joint committee of the Senate amd House to ascertain the num ber of employees of the State and to recommend such reduc tion of salaries as may be deem ed advisable. We would sug gest that, if such committee is appointed, it also ascertain the INJUSTICE OF TARIFF. Letter from Lieut.

E. W. Pou introduced a bill to remedy this gross injustice, but of course the Republican House would not, even consider such a measure, no less ' pass it. In confirmation and corroboration of the truth of our statement we can now pro duce evidence that ought to con vince the most doubtful, even though he be a Republican. This evidence is furnished by Mr. Clarence C. Poe, the well known editor of the Progressive Farmer, whose veracity nobody doubts. He is now on a trip around the world and is writing most interesting and instructive letters to his paper. In last week's Progressive Farmer is a letter written by him from Pek- mg, tne capital oi cnina, ana from it we copy the following ex tract: "Here in the hotel where I write this article one of. the fore most journalists in the Far East tells me that the average tariff protected American industry sells goods to Asiatic buyers at 30 per cent less than it will sell to the peeple at home. Thirty per cent, he says, is the usual discount for Oriental trade. An electric dy namo which is sold in America for $1,000, for instance, is sold for Chinese trade at $550 or $600. Quite a number of times on this trip have men told me that they can get American goods cheaper over here, after paying the freight ten thousand miles, than we Americans can buy them at our own doors. For example, a man told me a few weeks ago of buying fleece-lined underwear at half what it costs at home; a missionary tells me that he saves 20 cents on each 2-pound can of Royal baking powder as compar ed with American prices; Libby's meats are cheaper in London than in San Francisco; harvest ing machinery made in Chicago is carried across land and sea. half way around the world, and sold in far-away Siberia for less than the American farmer can buy it at the factory gates "And these are only a few in stances. Hundreds of others might be given. How long the American people are going to find it amusing to be held up in such fashion remains to be seen." the carpets. people were extremely cordial, asking us to return and spend several days with them, and even asked us to have any of our friends or relatives, traveling through England, to stop and pay them a visit. 4 As I had the 4 a m. to 8 a. m. watch that night I had to leave on the 7 p. m. train for London, arriving aboard ship about 10:30. London was ex tremely quiet on Christmas night, very few people on the streets and everything closed up. Paris and London are very different in that respect. No theaters are open in London on Sunday night . whereas everything is running full blast in Paris. For that j matter, the vaudeville shows in beattle are running on bunday afternoon andnight." Sedentary habits, lack of outdoor ex ercise, insufficient mastication of food, constipation, a torpid liver, worry and anxiety, are the most common causes of stomach troubles.

The House committee has re ported favorably the bill to pro hibit the sale of "near-beer" anywhere in the State, and it is made the special order in the House tomorrow night.

Give me a country where the temperature doesn't go below GO degrees and where the wind and rain doesn't make life unbearable, even if it must get to 90 degrees in the shade occasionally. I can stand that. 4 I have not told you as yet about my Christmas in England. As I wrote at the time I spent Christmas eve and Christmas vith friends in Dedham, Essex, Sir Hamilton Lang and his family- Dedham is EG miles fror London, and the fast train we took carried us there in 1 hours. ' The weather was cold and damp. The thermometer was about 85 degrees, - but so much rain had fallen during December that all the landscape was green as it was in France. The coun try reminded me very much of French Brittany. All the land seemed to be cultivated, very few trees, and the fields were much larger than in France. This part of England is flat and slightly rolling. "We were met at the station by the Langs' machine and were warmly greeted when we arrived at the "Grove." - The house was a large square stone building, situated in the center of a park. We had tea at 4 p. m., a thing the English people never miss, and at 5 o'clock went to a near by tenant's house where a Chris' - mas .tree had been prepared tor the children of the estate. Af ter the tree was stripped the children were started .playing games. I was interested in ob serving that all the games they played were familiar to me, though they called some by names dnrerent from what we called them at home. Tney called our "Going to Jerusalem" "Musical Choirs. " They called "Clap in and Clap Out" by some other name. We had a quiet dinner Christmas eve at home at the "Grove.'' Among other things they asked us about our relatives at hme, and seemed much in terested in our description ot American things and customs "Christmas (1910) was a beau tiful day in England, the sun rising like a ball of fire about 8:15 and setting about 3:50, mak ing the day very short It was what we would call cold and windy, making a heavy overcoat very comfortable. We didn't hang up any stockings Christmas eve, but they do observe that custom in families where there are any youngsters. At breakfast we found some small present as a souvenir of our visit to the "Grove.'' I had prepared for return Christmas gifts and had brought with me from the ship several articles I still had left from my Chinese cruise.
