The secretary draws the com- parison that the commerclal and financial life of the nation has become nationalized and suggests that it is now in order to na- tionalize its corporate lite. Another important recommendation made by Secretary Nagel in his report is for broader and more efficient laws to stamp out the white slave traffic. While the pressent statutes prohibit the importation of women for immoral purposes, there is no law against transporting them from one state to another within the borders of the country, The secretary says it must be realized that the white slave trade ls an organized, a developed business, and that tighter laws are needed to enable the federal authorities to fight it successfully Reviewing the work of its sixteen differ- ent divisions and bureaus, the report tells of the vast ramifications of its work, and tells the history of a year of progress in all directions.

The price re- celved by the producer of sugar has in- creased 25 per cent. These are In- creases which may be attributed wholly to the true trade relations, fluctuatio in the world's markets having been elim- inated.” General Edwards says up-to-date the im- portations into the United States of Philip pine cigars has been at the rate of about 76,000,000 per year, or one-half the limit for free admission. The effect on the Ame ican Industry, he adds, of this importa- tion “may well be judged by the fact that these clgars may be found only with the greatest difficulty.” The imports ot the Philippines during the last fiscal year, was over $27,000,000. postponed until after the first.of January. Chairman Tawney of the committee on ap- propriations, has upset this scheme by de- claring that an apropriation bill could be prepared and passed before the Christmas adjournment as easily as not. Mr. Tawney has found a ready second In | Chairman Payne of the ways and means | committee, and the two putting their heads | together have arranged a program which | will insure the passage of the District of | Columbla apropriation bill and possibly the army bill before the departure of the Solons for their home. “They must earn their turkey before they eat,” Mr. Tawney said, when remtnded of the anxlety of some of the members of both houses to get away next Saturday. The determination to immediately begin work on the supply measures is an indica- tion of the program of the leaders of the present congress. They are going to have the appropriation bills passed as early as possible. This plan Is independent of all other legislative schemes. There are two elements in congress. One favors extensive general legislation. The other takes the position that, In view of he fact that a general tariff bill was passed In the long extra eession of the spring and summer, congress should be content to do very little mdre during the present session than pass the appropria- tion bills. The latter faction take the po- sition that in recent years there has been too much legislation, rather ‘than too lit- tle.

At the special election Dunkle was given a franchise by gn overwhelming vote. With the franchise in his pocket he sailed for Chicago, and that is the last Cedar Falls ever saw of him. People here think he had expected to sell the franchise for a big rake-off, but think that the city at- torney slipped one over on him and drew wants a rest. President Asks Much. All zecognize, however, that some effort probably will be made to carry into effect the Pecommendations ‘of the presjdent, whether contained in his anpual message or in the speclal meséages which he has promised. He is laying out an extensive program, and nobody believes that it will be possible to do all that he will ask to have done.

But Secretary Nagel belleves the time Tas ecme for a far wider and more com- plete application of those principles.

This work must be carrled on by the federal government, the secretary belleves, becaude It s the orly agency which has jurisdiction commensurate with the matter it has to consider and which can prescribe uniform conditions for the entire country. “Any sttempt to the question through state action has been and neces- sarily will be futile,”” says the report. considerable number of states can ever agree on establishing or maintaining any one system. No state alone can make Its system effective. In financlal and com- mereinl eonditions the country has become nationalized.
