WHY ’FRISCO GOT THE FAIR
When San Francisco was given the Panama exposition the
other day the administration had an ulterior motive, says the
Butte (Mont.) News.
In connection with struggle between San Francisco and New
Orleans for the Panama exposition, is has become known that
the administration is inclined to throw its support to the Pa­
cific coast city in the hope that the favor will be returned in
the form of toleration, if not positive good will, for the new
Japanese treaty, a year hence. Inasmuch as the exposition can­
not be held until 1915, the administration's policy may be
shrewd and practical. The exposition will need government ap­
propriations to make it a real success, and the rest of the coun­
try must become interested in it as a show worthy of attention
and a trans continental journey. For the sake of the exposition
as a whole, California is expected to be good and make no fuss
over the treaty.
•
The only doubt is whether the Californians, once the exposi­
tion has been secured, would be able to carry out their part
of the implied agreement. One's faith is somewhat shaken by
the statement of Congressman Hayes, who says he can assure
us that “my people will protest in time" against a treaty which
contained no clause similar to the one in the present treaty bear,
ing on immigration. He promises, fair or no fair, “a yell of pro­
test all along the coast."
The present treaty provides, as has often been pointed out,
that nothing therein shall affect “the laws, ordinances and regu­
lations with regard to trade, the immigration of laborers, po­
lice and public security which are in force or which may here­
after be enacted in the two countries.” An immigration law
specifically including Japanese immigration laborers could be
enacted and enforced under that provision, and the Tokio gov­
ernment would have no ground for protest.
All this, however, will, before long, form a new basis for
exaggerated war talk.

year. The principal outcry was about butter and eggs, whereas
under the last and heaviest year of the treaty the imports of
butter from Canada were only $1,868,972 and of eggs $184,-
494.
Under this treaty importations amounting to about $18,-
tion. These fell to $11,000,000, and afterwards rose to $40,-
000,000, when the treaty was abrogated. The entire imports
during the period of its existence were $229,000,000, an aver­
age of less than $20,000,000 a year.
Upon the termination of the treaty the trade with Canada
rapidly declined unutil the irresistablc growth of the two coun­
tries forced its rehabilitation even without reciprocity. Yet it
did not equal even its former limited dimensons until 1900,
when almost for the first time in many years it approached
$40,000,000.
The diametric desires of the east and west divisions of the
dominion within the past decade of years has been remarkable.
One remembers the talk of the secession of the West during
Bryan's first campaign. The issues today in Canada are much

Sayer ,as well as the fact that the state printer is making net
»rofits of from $20,000 to $30,000 annually, is just now of ab-
< orbing interest. The Guard believes that the office should be
abolished entirely and the larger jobs of the state printing let

This plan is followed in Idaho and several
Í •
¿ther states and graft in public printing has been practically
<!eliminated. In Oregon we believe this course would reduce the
p
Annual printing expense by at least one-half.
In this connection ,the best editorial we have seen lately is
£rom the Dallas Itemizer. It follows:

"If the legislative assembly at Salem really desires to do
something - to eliminate graft

- the bur-

ti tion to the large amount of money that is being annually expend­
JI
ed needlessly for the printing of state measures. Willis Dunni-
