They claim that Canada is one of oar best customers, and they are con fident that the President will handle the maximum and minimum rates of the tariff without creating serious friction with the Dominion. The opinion prevails among the members of the committee that the present agitation Is due-to apprehension on the par; of Canada that the maximum tariff rate will be applied on her ex perts to this country because of her commercial treat? with France. Thoee familiar with the situation aay that Csnada should not be unduly alarmed on this point, because the United States has a commercial treaty with Cuba which might be con strued as a slight Infraction of the faVored nations clause, but nfne of thi countries with which we do busi ness ever made a protest and it would hardly seem fair to Canada if our government should want to slap the maximum tariff on Canada's products because of the latter treaty with Vvtace. : j 's ? There la another fact not generally understood. The maximum tariff when applied to a country which "un duly discriminates" against any pro duct of the Uoltod States, must be applied to every srttcle of export from t&ht country..

MEETING. held CHARLOTTE CHOSEN Democratic State Convention Meets July 12 THE ORGANIZATION PLAN Bectioaa Ten and Twelve Are Amend ed ? The New Plan Ittffen in Pew Reepect* From tbe Old? Heatiment For Short Campaigns la Fall/ Ex pressed by Members. Raleigh, .March 10. ? The Suite Democratic Executive Committee In sessloa here tonight selected Char lotte ka the place for the State Demo cratic convention and July 12 aa the date. * The rote aa to place was Charlotte, IS; Greensboro. 21. Charlotte'a Invitation was made by State Senator Phase and Representa tive W. C. Dowd, and the Invitation for Oreenaborov by C. A. Hlnes and W. G. Bradsbaw, the latter a staunch Republican, who had been extended the courtesy for the purpose. The latter caused considerable ripple of fun by suggesting that the Fifth dis trict and Guilford needs the Inspira tion of a Democratic convention. He told them that alnce the Democrats last convened In Greensboro certain disaster had befallen the Democracy In that section. They possibly might redeem somewhat of their losses, he Baid. He heartily Invited the convention on behalf of the city and commercial organisations, assuring the commit tee of adequate hall and hotel facili ties. Mr. Hlnes also gave a hearty Invi tation for Guilford Democracy. July 12 was selected for the con vention because of tne Bentlment for short campaigns. When the questions of the time and, pla?e for the State convention were disposed of the committee went Into executive session to consider the proposed revision of the plan of par tyo organlatlon. After Chairman Eller had present ed the report and explained briefly that the proposed plan of organiza tion Wmr different from the old in ?Uly three or four important re jjjets^tb^gessrai coaanAtee being committers given terjr grest powers, possibly, he said, too great poweti. Also three methods of selecting the State, district and local candidates provided. The reading of the plan by Mr. Murphy proceeded, nntll the twelfth aectlon was reached, without changes other than a few technical ones sug gested or made. Section 10 was changed so the 8tate executive com mittee can be called election years In Raleigh any time In March Instead of during the - first week of March. .This was on motion of Maj. H. A. London combined with suggestions from W. C. Dowd and others. * Section 12 waB the worst snarl and was happily smoothed through a mo tion by J. R. Blair. This section, as the committee reported it. provided that "the manner of ascertaining the choice of Democratic electors for such candidates shall be one of three methods as follows: 'Precinct meet ing; two, by primary election; .three, I by county convention (In mass). Mr. Blair's amendment, one of a number offered, adds 'unless the ex ecutive committee adopts the second or third plan the first, ?or precinct; meeting plan shall be followed.' " It required until 1 a. m. for thej committee to complete the reading, , discussing and amending of the pro posed plan Of organization so that' It could be adopted as a whole. Then I [there still remained the Important duty* or agreeing on me aaie ior me county and township primaries or convention*. The great mass of the changes made were of .minor Impor tance bearing on the details of the plan.

' The vpecUcK of a millionaire Celling his hearers that he made hla millions by robbing the people, that all monopolists do. but that he had begun to recover hla conscience and was going to devote his wealth to fighting the system which made it poasible, was the unique entertainment provided by the City Club at its luncheon today. The speaker wa a Joseph Fels of Philadel phia, head of a naptha soap company bearing his name. He said he was a disciple of Henry George and would always remain a "snrRTb taxer." "We can't get rich in a lifetime nowadays," Mr. Fels said, "under the present system of things, unless we do so by robbing the people. 1 have made my money that way, and my firm is still doing it. You are all do ing It. Every one of your Helf-tnade millionaires has done It. However, I want to say I have begun to recover my conscience, and 1 am going to de vote my 'swag' ? I like to call It that, for that's what it is ? to doing away with the cursed syBtem which makes it possible. "If any of your millionaires feel the same way about It, for God's sake let's cross hands on It. I may be an oddity. It is unusual, though, for a man who has made hli money by robbing the people through a monop oly to be called a curiosity. It Is also a curiosity to find a man. after nearly fifty years of monopely-mon gerlng, to admit It and undergo a' change of heart, gut I am aincere."*' $100 APIECE Ten Dollars Jvst to Bit la the Bleach era at lifiln luhaaia FtgfcU San Priadacoi March tl.. ? -fto molers of the Jeffries-Johnson fight announced yesterday that Ma U would range from $10 In the bleachers to flOO at the ringside.
