PREFACE. 



Reference to the contents of the present issue of The 
Daily News Almanac and Year-Book is, perhaps, unnecessary 
here, as the index, which begins on the opposite page, tells the 
whole story. However, it may not be amiss to call attention to 
the fact that the new tariff law passed at the extra session of 
the 61st congress is given practically in full, only some of the 
redundant verbiage being omitted for the sake of brevity. The 
important sections relating to the corporation excise tax, the 
application of the maximum and minimum rates, and the 
Panama canal bonds are reproduced verbatim. Some compari- 
son also is made between the Payne-Aldrich and the Dingley 
tariff acts, though the changes in classification and the substi- 
tution in many cases of specific for ad valorem or of ad valorem 
for specific duties make such comparison unsatisfactory. While 
much space has been devoted to this one subject, other features 
have not been neglected. The more notable historical events of 
the year, such, for example, as the remarkable achievements 
announced in arctic and antarctic exploration, are treated with 
some fullness, though here as elsewhere throughout the book 
condensation has been the rule followed. Substantially all the 
statistics and other data, whether general, national, state or 
local, found in previous issues have been repeated in this vol- 
ume with additions, corrections and changes intended to in- 
crease their value or to bring them down to date as nearly as 
possible.

CHRONOLOGICAL CYCLES. 

Lunar Cycle or Golden Num- 
ber 



Solar Cycle. 



Dionysian Period 239 

EXPLANATOBY NOTE The Dominical letter or 
letters (two for leap year), or Sunday letters, 
indicate the day of the year on which the first 
Sunday occurs, the first seven letters of the al- 
phabet being used. Thus, for 1910, the Dominical 
letter is B, the second letter of the alphabet, and 
hence the second day of the year will oe the first 
Sunday of the year. In leap years two letters are 
used, the first being for January aud February, 
and the latter, being the preceding letter, an- 
swers for the last ten months, in order to main- 
tain the cycle. The rule for obtaining the Do- 
minical letter for any year is somewhat compli- 
cated and for that reason is omitted here. The 
Golden Number is that number of a cycle of nine- 
teen years which shows how many years have 
elapsed since the new moon fell on Jan. 1, for in 
nearly nineteen years the solar and lunar years 
nearly come together. The chief use of this cycle 
is in fixing the date of Easter, and in this same 
connection is used the Epact. The Solar Cycle 
is the number of years that have elapsed since 
the days of the week fell on the same days of 
the year, or when there will, therefore, be a recur-

rence of the Dominical or Sunday Letter. This 
would be the case every seven years but for leap 
year, hence four times seven is the cycle, or 
twenty-eight years. It is the remainder found by 
adding nine to the year and dividing the sum by 
twenty-eight. The Roman Indiction is a cycle of 
fifteen years and is of no utility except to chro- 
nologers. It is the remainder found by adding 
three to the year and dividing by fifteen. The 
Julian Period is a cycle of 7,980 years and is the 
product of the three cycles. Golden Number (19), 
Solar Cycle (28) and Roman Indiction (15), and 
hence shows the time when these cycles will co- 
incide or begin at the same time. The first of 
this- cycle will be completed in the year 2267; it 
is the year + 4713. The Dionysian Period is a 
cycle of 532 years and is called the great Paschal 
cycle, being the product of a completed solar and 
lunar cycle (28X19). It is the remainder found 
by adding 457 to the year and dividing by 532, 
and with the Julian Period is chiefly used by 
chronologers. The Jewish Lunar Cycle is always 
three less than the Golden Number and is used 
by the Jews in fixing the time of their festivals.

NOTE To ascertain any day of the week first 
look in the table for the year required and under 
the months are figures which refer to the corre- 
sponding figures at the head of the columns of 
days below. For example: To know on what 
day of the week July 4 was. in the year 1895, in the 
table of years look for 1895, and in a parallej 



line, under July, Is figure 1, which directs to 
column 1, In which it will be seen that July 4 
falls on Thursday. 

*1752 same as 1772 from Jan. 1 to Sept. 2. From 
Sept, 14 to Dec. 31 same as 1780 (Sept. 3-13 were 
omitted). This Calendar is from Whitaker's Lon- 
don Almanack, with some revisions.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1910. 



THE PLANETS. 



MERCURY will be brightest: 

1. As a morning star, west of the sun, rising 
about lh. 20m. before the sun, Feb. 8-16 and Occ. 
6-14. He will be farthest west of the sun Feb. 
19, 27, and Oct. 11. 18. 

2. As an evening star, east of the sun, setting 
about lh. 25m. after sun, Jan. 6-14, April 13-21 
and Dec. 22-30. He will be farthest east of the 
sun Jan. 10, 19, and Dec. 24, 20. 

On two other occasions Mercury will be at his 
greatest angular distance from the sun, but other 
conditions will be such as to render it difficult, if 
not impossible, to see him. 

Look for a red star near the sunrise or sunset 
points of the horizon about an hour before sunrise 
or an hour after sunset, within the limits of the 
dates given and you will be very apt to catch this 
elusive planet. 

VENUS will be brightest as an evening star 
Jan. 7 and as a morning star March 18-19. At the 
beginning of the year she will be an evening star 
and so continue until Feb. 12, after which she 
will be a morning star until Nov. 26, and then an 
evening star until the end of the year. On Feb. 12 
she will pass between the earth and sun (inferior 
conjunction), and on Nov. 2 she will be on the 
opposite side of the earth from the sun (superior 
conjunction). This planet is very beautiful when 
at or near her greatest brilliancy, and at such 
times will cast a distinct shadow in the dark of 
the moon. An added feature of interest is her 
phases, for, in the course of her orbit, she pre- 
sents all the phases of the moon and with a far 
greater difference in apparent size or diameter, as 
shown by the annexed figures. 

Towards the Sun ^m - 
N 




Is seen In the Mom As seen in the Eve, 

A Fifteen days before superior conjunction, or 

Nov. 11. 1910. 
B At greatest elongation (angular distance) west 

of the sun, April 23, 1910. 
C When brightest as a morning star, March 18-19, 

1910. 

D Just after inferior conjunction, Feb. 17-28, 1910. 
E Fifteen days after superior conjunction, Dec. 

11, 1910. 
F At greatest elongation east of the sun, July 7, 

G When brightest as an evening star, Jan. 1-10, 

1910. 
H .fust before inferior conjunction, Feb, 1, 1910. 

All these phases may be seen by the aid of a 
small telescope or good field glass. The motion of 
Venus past the stars is so rapid that it is very 
Interesting to follow her in her journeyings. As 
her orbit is within that of the earth, she will 
more than make the circuit of the heavens in a year. 
In connection with the following data see "Chart 
of the Heavens." also table of "Rising, Southing 
and Setting of the Planets." 

ITINERARY OF VENUS. 

Jan. 1 as an evening star in -c, moving slowly east- 
ward, stationary Jan. 20 in eastern - ; retrogrades, 
moving slowly west past the stars, until March 3, 
when she will be west of her place on Jan. 1 and 
stationary again. Being at inferior conjunction 
Feb. 12 she will not be visible for a few days be- 
fore and after that date. As a morning star she 
will first be seen low in the east the last week in 
February and will advance with increasing velocity 
past the stars until Aug. 5; then her daily rate 
of motion will decrease until Oct. 8 and then in- 
crease until Dec. 20. As shown by the figure she 



will appear largest early in February and steadily 
diminish in size throughout almost the entire year, 
until at the last she will be apparently only one 
thirty-sixth of her size in February. 

On April 23 she will attain her greatest angular 
distance west of the sun (46), appearing as in B 
in the figure a half-moon phase with the illumi- 
nated hemisphere toward the sun. Throughout May, 
June and July Venus and Saturn will be more or 
less close companions in the eastern morning sky. 
June 5 they will be only four minutes of arc, or 
one-eighth of the moon's apparent diameter, apart, 
Venus being the most northern. On the previous 
day (June 4) the moon will pass south of and 
close to them, but too late in the morning to see 
them at the time of nearest approach. Both will 
be occulted by the moon on this occasion. This 
grouping of these three bodies will take place near 
the boundary line between x and T. By June 25 
Venus will be only 5 below the Pleiades and by July 
about the same distance above (N) of Aldebaran, 
the brightest star of theHyades. On or about July 
20 she will be close to the great Crab nebula in tt, and 
between the tips of the Bull's Horns, with the glori- 
ous Capella just above (N) and the brilliant Orion 
nearly equally distant below her. From this time 
on she will rise later and later until the time of her 
superior conjunction, No^. 26, becoming invisible con- 
siderably before that date. About Aug. 10 she will be 
nearest and just south Of Castor and Pollux in H, 
and on Sept. 10 Regulus, in the handle of the Sickle 
in f}, will be close to and south of her. About the 
last we shall see of her as she becomes lost in the 
morning twilight she will be about 5 above (N) of 
Spica in np , with Mars just south of her a beautiful 
stellar combination in the twilight. When she is 
next visible she will be on the other (E) side of the 
sun as an evening star the last half of December, 
when she will be just above the Milkmaid's Dipper in 
?. (See "Conjunctions," etc,, for various conjunc- 
tions with the moon.) 

MARS will not be conspicuously bright at any time 
this year. He will be an evening star until Sept. 27 
and afterward a morning star. At the beginning of 
the year he will be in eastern x and close to b , hav- 
ing been in cf with the ringed planet Dec. 31, 1909, 
when cf was only 3 north of b. By March 10 he will 
have advanced to eastern T, just below the seven 
stars or Pleiades, and the last week of March he will 
pass j ust above the Hyades. April 2u he will be about 
midway Capella on the north and the belt of Orion 
on the south; by June 1 in K, south of Castor and 
Pollux, and Aug. 1 close to and north of Regulus in 
the Sickle in C. Hia conjunction with Spica Virginis 
and Venus Oct. 24 was alluded to under "Venus," 
when d 1 will be 3 north of Spica and (Oct. 22) less 
than 1 south of 9. At the close of the year he will 
be in m. , close to and above (N) of the red star An- 
tares. 

JUPITER will be brightest March 31 as an evening 
star. He will be an evening star from Jan. 4 to 
Oct. 19 and a morning star until Jan. 4 and after Oct. 
J'J. At the beginning of the year he will be in TIP and 
remain there until November, when he enters =. 
Oct. 1 he will pass 3 north of Spica, setting in the 
evening twilight. The superior planets, those ex- 
terior to the earth, may very properly be called "all 
night" stars at or close to the time of their opppsi- 
tion, or when they rise at sunset and set at sunrise. 
This will be approximately the case with a until 
March 31. 

SATURN will be brightest Oct. 27, being at that 
time an all-night star. He may also be considered 
as an evening star until April 16 and after July 
30, and as a morning star from April 16 to July 
30. He is in eastern X and will cross into T and back 
again into x at the close of the year. At no time will 
he be near any bright star. His wonderful ring sys- 
tem will be best seen during the summer months, 

URANUS will be brightest July 16 as an even- 
ing star, and then only faintly visible to the naked 
eye. 

NEPTUNE will be brightest as an evening star 
Jan. 8. Both Uranus and Neptune are too distant 
and faint to be objects of general interest.

The sun's surface is 12.000 and its volume 
1,300,000 times that of the earth, but the mass 
is only 332,000 times as great and its density 
about one-quarter that of the earth. The force 
of gravity at the surface of the sun is twenty- 
seven times greater than that at the surface of 
the earth. The sun rotates on its axis once in 
25.3 days at the equator, but the time is longer 
at the higher latitudes, from which fact it i3 
presumed that the sun is not solid, at least as 
to its surface. 

THE EARTH AND THE MOON. 

Earth The equatorial diameter of the earth is 



STJN AND PLANETS, 

7,926.5 miles and the polar diameter 7,899.5 miles; 
equatorial circumference, 25,000. The linear ve- 
locity of the rotation of the earth on its axis 
at the equator is 24,840 miles a day, or 1,440 
feet a second; its velocity in its orbit around the 
sun is approximately nineteen miles per second, 
the length of the orbit being about 560,000.000 
miles. The superficial area of the earth accord- 
Ing to Encke. the astronomer, is 197,108,580 square 
miles, of which two-thirds is water and one- 
third land. The planetary mass is about 256,- 
000.000 cubic miles. 

Moon The moon has a diameter of 2,162 miles, 
a circumference of about 6,800 miles and a sur- 
face area of 14,685,000 square miles. Her mean 
distance from the earth is 238.840 miles. The vol- 
ume of the moon is about l-49th that of the earth 
and the density about 3 2-5 that of water. The 
time from new moon to new moon is 29 days 12 
hours 44.05 minutes. The moon has no atmos- 
phere and no water and is a dead world. 
VELOCITY OF LIGHT 

Light travels at the rate of 186.300 miles per 
second. It requires 8 minutes and 8 seconds for 
lisht to come from the sun to the earth.

CHART OF THE HEAVENS. 




-~*T4 nan ^ 

Scale of Magnitudes* 



EXPLANATION The chart of the heavens 
shows all the bright stars and groups visible In 
the United States. Canada. Mexico, Cuba and 
Hawaii. Stars of the third magnitude are some- 
times shown in order to complete a figure. 

If a bright uncharted body be seen near the 
"ecliptic circle" it must be a planet. To locate 
the planets or moon, refer to the tables "posi- 
tion of planets" and "moon's place" in the 
almanac pages, find the proper signs on the chart 
on the "ecliptic circle" and an inspection of that 
part of the heavens, comparing with the chart, 
will serve to identify the planet and all the sur- 
rounding objects. 

Because of the earth's motion from west to 
east (opposite to the direction of the arrow in the 
chart), the stars rise 4m. earlier each day or 30m. 
oer week, or 2b. a month. The chart shows the 



position at 9 p. m. Then if the position for any 
other hour be desired, as for 7 p. m.. count back 
one month, or ahead one month for 11 p. m.. and 
so on for any hour of the night. 

A circle described from the zenith on the 
"zenith circle" for the desired latitude with a 
radius of 90* (see graduated meridian) will show 
what stars are above the horizon. Thus Capella 
is near the overhead (zenith) point on latitude 40 
north Jan. 15. 9 p. m.. as will be Algenib in the 
handle of the Big Dipper at 3 a. m. Then from 
Capella or Algenib all the surrounding visible 
groups can be identified. The "pointers" being 5 
apart and always in sight may be used as a conven- 
ient unit of measure; also when visible the Belt of 
Orion, 3. or the sides of the square of Pegasus. 
The observer is always supposed to stand under 
the overhead point and to face south and north 
alternately.

EXPLANATORY NOTE The figure shows at a 
glance when all of the major planets are bright- 
est, and whether east of the sun (evening stars) 
or west of him and morning stars, at the time. 
It also shows the relative duration of visibility 
and brightness as to the superior planets. Mars. 
Jupiter and Saturn. With Venus the light-shaded 
portion simply Is the approximate measure of 
duration and place of visibility and not of bril- 
liancy, while of the others it (the light portion) 
shows both the duration and brilliancy. Thus, 
Jupiter will be brightest the last of March, and 
then will shine equally in the morning and even- 
Ing: he will be dimmer, by half, at the beginning 
of the year, and visible wholly after midnight. 
From April 1 he will decrease to invisibility the 
latter part of October and first of November ; after 
the last of June he will only be seen in the even- 
ing east of the sun. and after his period of in- 
visibility he will reappear on the other (west) side 
of the sun as a morning star, and as such in- 
crease in brilliancy the remainder of the year, and 
at the end of the year be visible for about four 
hours. It will be seen that Mars does not attain 
his maximum degree of brilliancy within the year, 
but will be brightest of the year at its beginning, 
when he will be mainly an evening star. Venus, 
being an inferior planet, between the earth and 
sun. can never be seen opposite the sun, as in the 



case of the others on the chart, nor is she at her 
greatest brilliancy when farthest (In angular dis- 
tance) from the sun, as shown. 

From this it will be seen that the light portion* 
represent the comparative angular distance of the 
planets from the sun. Then each of the twelve 
spaces will be one-hour spaces of 15 each when 
the day and night are equal, and more when the 
night is more than 12h. duration. Thus, on April 
23. Venus will be at her point of greatest angular 
distance west of the sun 46, or about 3h. of 
time between the rising of the sun and Venus. 
Again. Jupiter will be at opposition, or 180 from 
the sun March 31. or 90 on each side of the cen- 
tral line, and rising, therefore, at sunset, and he 
will set with the sun or rise with it Oct. 19. 

Of course, the chart can only show an approxi- 
mation as to the boundaries of the light portion, 
as this mut change with the latitude of the ob- 
server, and. to be exact, such boundaries would 
not be straight, and the scale is too small to ad- 
mit of greater exactness. It will, however, prove 
a valuable aid to the average person, who is not 
an astronomer, in understanding the movements of 
the planets, and definitely settling the question of 
what constitutes evening and morning stars. In 
this connection see "Planets Brightest," "Evening 
and Morning Stars" and the table of "Rising, Set- 
ting and Meridian Passage of the Planets."

TIME AND STANDARDS OP TIME. 



TIME AND STANDARDS OF TIME. 



Various kinda of time ere in use in this coun- 

1." Astronomical Time or Mean Solar Time 
This is reckoned from noon through the twentv- 
four hours of the day and is used mainly by 
astronomical observatories and in official astronom- 
ical publications. It is the legal time of the 
Dominion of Canada, though "standard" and 
"mean" time are in general use there as in this 
country. 

2. Mean Local Time This is the kind that was 
in almost universal use prior to the introduction 
of standard time. This time is based upon the 
time when the mean sun* crosses the meridian 
and the day begins at midnight. When divided 
into civil divisions years, months, weeks, days, 
etc. it is sometimes called civil time. 

3. Standard Time For the convenience of the 
railroads and business in general a standard of 
time was established by mutual agreement in 1883 
and by this calculation trains are now run and 
local time is regulated. By this system the 
United States, extending from 65 to 125 west 
longitude, is divided into four time sections, each 
of 15 of longitude, exactly equivalent to one 
hour (7% or 30m. on each side of a meridian), 
commencing with the 75th meridian. The flrst 
or eastern section includes all territory between 
the Atlantic coast and an irregular line drawn 
from Buffalo to Charleston. S. C.. the latter city 



being its southernmost point. The second or cen- 
tral section includes all the territory between 
this eastern line and another irregular line ex- 
tending from Bismarck. N. D., to the mouth of 
the Rio Grande. The third or mountain section 
includes all the territory between the last-named 
line and nearly the western borders of Idaho, 
Nevada and Arizona. The fourth or Pacific sec- 
tion includes all the territory of the United States 
between the boundary of the mountain section 
and the Pacific coast. Inside of each of these 
sections standard time is uniform and the time 
of each section differs from that next to it by 
exactly one hour, as shown on the map. 

*Owing to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit 
and the inclination of the equator to the ecliptic, 
the apparent motion of the sun is retarded or 
accelerated according to the earth's place in itg 
orbit. Hence, to take the actual SUB as a guide 
would necessitate years, days and their subdi- 
visions of unequal length. Therefore an imag- 
inary or "mean sun" was invented. The differ- 
ence between apparent and mean time is called 
the "equation of time" and may amount to a 
quarter of an hour in twenty-four hours. It Is 
the difference between the figures in "Sun at 
noon mark" column in calendar and twelve hours. 
The figures on a correct sun dial give the ap- 
parent time.

It is obvious that to express the time of rising 
and setting of the sun and moon in standard time 
would limit the usefulness of such data to tlie 
single point or place for which it was computed, 
while in mean time.it is practically correct for 
places as widely separated as the width of tlie 



continent (see note at bottom of February cal- 
endar), and persons having obtained the mean 
time by the rising or setting of the sun or moon 
may easily ascertain the correct standard time 
of any event by making use of the following ta-

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1910. 




All the calculations in The Daily News Alma- 
nac and Year-Book are based upon mean or clock 
time unless otherwise stated. The sun's rising 
and setting are for the upper limb, corrected for 
parallax and refraction. In the case of the moon 
no correction is needed, as in the sun, for "par- 
allax and refraction": with her they are of an 
opposite nature and just balance each other. The 
figures given, therefore, are for the moon's cen- 
ter on a true horizon such as the ocean affords. 

The calculations in each of the geographical 
divisions of each calendar page will apply witn 
sufficient accuracy to all places in the contiguous 



North American zones indicated by the headings 
of the divisions. 

The heavy dotted lines show the arbitrary (stand- 
ard) divisions of time in the United States. The 
plus and minus marks on either side of the me- 
ridian lines show whether it is necessary to add to 
or subtract from the mean time of points east or 
west of these lines to arrive at actual standard 
time. Example: Chicago is 2% east of the 90th 
meridian, therefore Chicago local time 2% x 4 
= 10 to be subtracted from mean time to = stand- 
ard time, and for Boston standard (eastern) time. 
16m. must be subtracted from mean time.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON OPIUM.

INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT TAFT, 



William Howard Taft was sworn in as president 
and James Schooleraft Sherman as vice-president 
of the United States In Washington. D. C., at 
noon March 4, 1909. Owing to a severe storm of 
wind and snow that part of the exercises usually 
held on the east steps of the capitol had to be 
transferred to the senate chamber. The oath of 
office was first administered to Mr. Sherman by 
the retiring vice-president, Charles W. Fairbanks. 
Then, in the presence of a distinguished assem- 
blage of jurists, ambassadors, senators, representa- 
tives, governors and other invited guests the new 
president was sworn in by Chief Justice Fuller, 
the chief executive resting his right hand on an, 
old bible long used in the Supreme court. 

In his inaugural address, which was delivered 
immediately after the taking of the oath, Presi- 
dent Taft outlined the main policies of the new 
administration so far as they could be anticipated. 
Following are the most important declarations 
made: 

"I have had the honor to be one of the advisers 
of my distinguished predecessor and as such to 
hold up his hands in the reforms he has initiated. 
I should be untrue to myself, to my promises and 
to the declarations of the party platform upon 
which I was elected to office if I did not make 
the maintenance and enforcement of those reforms 
a most important feature of my administration. 

"Relief of the railroads from certain restrictions 
of the antitrust law has been urged by my prede- 
cessor and will be urged by me. On the other 
hand, the administration is pledged to legislation 
looking to a proper federal supervision and re- 
striction to prevent excessive issues of bonds and 
stocks by companies owning and operating inter- 
state-commerce railroads. 

"It is imperatively necessary that a tariff bill 
be drawn in good faith, in accordance with the 
promises made before the election by the party in 
power, and as promptly passed as its consideration 
will permit. 

"I recommend a graduated inheritance tax, as 
correct in principle and as certain and easy of 
collection. 

"The putting into force of laws which shall se- 
cure the conservation of our resources, so far as 
they may be within the jurisdiction of the federal 
government, including the most important work of 
saving and restoring our forests, and the great im- 
provement of waterways, are all proper government 
functions which must involve large expenditure if 
properly performed. 

"Our government is able to afford a suitable 
army and a suitable navy. It may maintain them 
without the slightest danger to the republic or 
the cause of free institutions, and fear of addi- 



tional taxation ought not to change a proper pol- 
icy in this regard. 

"Having assured to other countries by treaty 
the protection of our laws for such of their sub- 
jects or citizens as we permit to come within our 
jurisdiction, we now leave to a state or a city 
not under the control of the federal government 
the duty of performing our international obliga- 
tions in this respect. By proper legislation we 
may, and ought to, place in the hands of the fed- 
eral executive the means of enforcing the treaty 
rights of such aliens in the courts of the federal 
government. 

"The incoming congress should promptly fulfill 
the promise of the republican platform and pass 
a proper postal savings bank bill. x 

"The necessity of the establishment of direct 
lines of steamers between North and South Amer- 
ica has been brought to the attention of congress 
by my predecessor, and by Mr. Root before and 
after his noteworthy visit to that continent, and I 
sincerely hope that congress may be induced to 
see the wisdom of a tentative effort to establish 
such lines by the use of mail subsidies. 

"I propose to devote all the energy possible and 
under my control to the pushing of this work 
[Panama canal] on the plans which have been 
adopted, snd to stand behind the men who are 
doing faithful hard work to bring about the early 
completion of this, the greatest constructive en- 
terprise of modern times. 

"The colored men must base their hope on the 
results of their own industry, self-restraint, thrift 
and business success, as well as upon the aid and 
comfort and sympathy which they may receive 
from their white neighbors of the south. * * 
It [the fifteenth amendment] never will be re- 
pealed, and it never ought to be repealed. If It 
had not been passed it might be difficult now to 
adopt it; but with it in our fundamental law 
the policy of southern legislation must and will 
tend to obey it. 

"I am strongly convinced that the government 
should make itself responsible to employes injured 
in its employ. 

"Another labor question has arisen which has 
awakened the most excited discussion. That la 
in respect to the power of the federal courts to 
issue injunctions in industrial disputes. As to 
that my convictions are fixed. Take away from 
courts, if it could be taken away, the po.wer to 
issue injunctions in labor disputes and it would 
create a privileged class among the laborers and 
save the lawless among their number from a 
most needful remedy available to all men for the 
protection of their business against lawless in- 
'vasion." 



INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON OPIUM. 



An international opium conference was held in 
Shanghai, China, Feb. 1-26, 1909, to consider what 
measures should be taken to regulate, and if pos- 
sible suppress, traffic in the drug. The commission 
was composed of delegates from the United States, 
Great Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, 
Japan and China, and was presided over by 
Bishop Charles H. Bent of the Philippines. The 
net result of the conference, which was called at 
the instance of the United States, was the adop- 
tion of a set of nine resolutions to the following 
effect : 

1. The sincerity of the government of China 
in trying to eradicate the production and consump- 
tion of opium in the empire recognized. 

2. Each delegation urged to influence its own 
government to take measures for the gradual suo- 
pression of opium smoking in its own territories 
and possessions. 

3. The desirability of a re-examination of their 
systems of regulating the use of opium in the 
light of the experience of other countries urged 
upon the attention of the governments concerned. 

4. It is the duty of all countries to adopt rea- 
sonable measures to prevent at ports of departure 
the shipment of opium, its alkaloids, derivatives 
and preparations, to any country which prohibits 
the entry of opium. 



5. The commission finding that the unrestricted 
manufacture, sale and distribution of morphine 
already constitute- a grave danger, and that the 
morphine habit shows signs of spreading, strong- 
ly urges on all governments the importance of 
taking drastic measures to control the manufac- 
ture, sale and distribution of this drug and of 
other derivatives of opium productive of like ill 
effects.

MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT. 

On the second day of the session the following 
message was received from the president: 

"To the Senate and House of Representatives: 
I have convened the congress in this extra session in 
order to enable It to give immediate consideration 
to the revision of the Dingley tariff act. Condi- 
tions affecting production, manufacture and busi- 
ness generally have so changed in the last twelve 
years as to require a readjustment and revision 
of the import duties imposed by that act. More 
than this, the present tariff act, with the other 
sources of government revenue, does not furnish 
income enough to pay the authorized expenditures. 
By July 1, next, the excess of expenses over re- 
ceipts for the current fiscal year will equal $100,- 

"The successful party in the late election ?s 
pledged to a revision of the tariff. The country 
and the business community especially expert it. 
The prospect of a change in the rates of import 
duties always causes a suspension or halt in busi- 
ness because of the uncertainty as to the changes 
to be made and their effect. It is therefore of the 
highest importance that the new bill should be 
agreed upon and passed with an much speed as 
possible consistent with its due and thorough con- 
sideration. 

"For these reasons I have deemed the present 
to be an extraordinary occasion, within the mean- 
ing of the constitution, justifying and requiring 
the calling of an extra session. 

"In my inaugural address I stated in a sum- 
mary way the principles upon which, in my judg- 
ment, the revision of the tariff should proceed, 
and indicated at least one new source of revenue 
that might be properly resorted to in order to 
avoid a future deficit. It is not necessary for me 
to repeat what I then said. 

"I venture to suggest that the vital business 
Interests of the country require that the atten- 
tion of the congress in this session be chiefly de- 
voted to the consideration of the new tariff bill 
and that the less time given to other subjects of 
legislation in this session the better for the coun- 
try. WILLIAM H. TAFT. 

"The White House, March 16. 1909." 

Speaker Cannon on the same day appointed the 
following committees: 

Rules The speaker. Dalzell (Pa.), Smith (Iowa), 
Clark (Mo.), Fitzgerald (N. Y.). 

Ways and Means Payne (N. Y.), Dalzell (Pa.), 
McCall (Mass.). Hill (Conn.). Boutell (111.), Need- 
ham (Cal.), Calderhead (Kas.), Forney (Mich.), 
Gaines (W. Va.), Cushman (Wash.), Longworth 
(O.), Crumpacker (Ind.), Clark (Mo.), Harrison 
(N. Y.), Broussard (La.), Underwood (Ala.), Griggs 
(Ga.), Pou (N. C.). Randell (Tex.). 

Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the ways and 
means committee, introduced the tariff revision 
bill March 17 and it was referred to the ways 
and means committee, which reported it back to 
the house March 18. The measure was debated 
until April 6. when it was passed by a vote of 217 
to 161 in substantially the same shape as reported 
by the committee, except that tea and oil were 
placed on the free list and the countervailing du- 
ties on oil, coffee and lumber were removed. The 
high duty placed on gloves and stockings was al- 
lowed to stand, in spite of the strong protests 
made against it. The bill was reported to the 
senate April 12 with a number of amendments and 
was debated for nearly three months. Efforts were 
made by Senators Cummins, Beveridge, Dolliver, 
Nelson. 'LaFollette and others to secure reductions

THIRTEENTH CENSUS. 

The house passed a bill providing for the thir 
teeuth and subsequent censuses March 18. The 
measure was passed by the senate April 10 and 
approved by the president July 2. 

CORPORATION TAX. 

June 16 the folio-wing message was received from 
President Taft: 

"To the Senate and House of Representatives 
It is the constitutional duty of the president from 
time to time to recommend to the consideration 
of congress such measures as he shall judge neces- 
sary and expedient. In my inaugural address, im 
mediately preceding this present extraordinary ses- 
sion of congress, I invited attention to the neces- 
sity for a revision of the tariff at this session 
and stated the principles upon which I thought 
the revision should be effected. I referred to the 
then rapidly increasing deficit and pointed out the 
obligation on the part of the framers of the tariff 
bill to arrange the duty so as to secure an ade- 
quate income and suggested that if it was not pos- 
sible to do so by import duties new kinds of tax- 
ation must be adopted and among them I recoin 
mended a graduated inheritance tax as correct in 
principle and as certain and easy of collection. 

"The house of representatives has adopted the 
suggestion and has provided in the bill it passed 
for the collection of such a tax. In the senate 
the action of its finance committee and the course 
of debate indicate that it may not agree to this 
provision, and it is now proposed to make up the 
deficit by the imposition of a general income tax 
in form and substance of almost exactly the same 
character as that which in the case of Pollock 
versus Farmers' Loan and Trust company (157 
U. S. 429) was held by the Supreme court to be a 
direct tax and therefore not within the power of 
the federal government to impose unless appor- 
tioned among the several states according to pop- 
ulation. This new proposal, which I did not dis- 
cuss in my inaugural address or in my message at 
the opening of the present session, makes it ap- 
propriate for me to submit to the congress certain 
additional recommendations. 

"The decision of the Supreme court in the in- 
come tax cases deprived the national government 
of a power which, by reason of previous decisions 
of the court, it was generally supposed the eov- 
ernment had. It is undoubtedly a power thena- 
tional government ought to have. It might be in- 
dispensable to the nation's life in great crises. 
Although I have not considered a constitutional 
amendment as necessary to the exercise of certain 
phases of this power, a mature consideration has 
satisfied me that an amendment is the only prop- 
er course for its establishment to its full extent. 
I therefore recommend to the congress that both 
houses, by a two-thirds vote, shall propose an 
amendment to the constitution conferring the 
power upon the national government to levy an in- 
come tax without apportionment among the states 
in proportion to population. 

"This course is much to be preferred to the one 
proposed of re-enacting a law once judicially de- 
clared to be unconstitutional. For the congress 
to assume that the court will reverse itself and 
to enact legislation on such an assumption will 
not strengthen popular confidence in the stability 
of judicial construction of the constitution. It is 
much wiser policy to accept the decision and 
remedy the defect by amendment in due and regu- 
lar course. 

"Again it is clear by the enactment of the pro- 
posed law the congress will not be bringing money 
into the treasury to meet the present deficiency, 
but by putting on the statute book a law already 
there and never repealed, will simply be suggest- 
ing to the executive officers of the government 
their possible duty to invoke litigation. If the 
court should maintain its former views no tax 
would be collected at all. If it should ultimately 
reverse itself still no taxes would have been col- 
lected until after protracted delay. 

"It is sail the difficulty and delay in securing 
the approval of three-fourths of the states will 



destroy all chance of adopting the amendment. Oi 
course, no one can speak with certainty upon this 
point, but I have become convinced that a great 
majority of the people of this country are in favoi 
of vesting the national government with power to 
levy an income tax, and that they will secure tht 
adoption of the amendment in the states, if pro 
posed to them. 

"Second, the decision in the Pollock case lefl 
power in the national government to levy an ex 
cise tax which accomplishes the same purpose as 
a corporation income tax and is free from certait 
objections urged to the proposed income tax meas 
ure. 

"I therefore recommend an amendment to the 
tariff bill, imposing upon all corporations and joint 
stock companies for profit, except national banks 
(otherwise taxed), savings banks and building 
and loan associations, an excise tax measured by 
2 per cent on the net income of such corporations 
This is an excise tax upon the privilege of doing 
business as an artificial entity and of freedom 
from a general partnership liability enjoyed bj 
those who own the stock. 

"I am informed that a 2 per cent tax of thk 
character would bring into the treasury of the 
United States not less than $25,000,000. 

"The decision of the Supreme court in the cast 
of Spreckels Sugar Refining company against Mc- 
Clain (192 U. S. 397) seems clearly to establish the 
principle that such a tax as this is an excise taj. 
upon privilege and not a direct tax on property 
and is within the federal power without appor 



tionment according to population. The +ax on net 
income is preferable to one proportionate to a per- 
centage of the gross receipts, because it is a tax 



upon success and not failure. It imposes a bur 
den at the source of the income at a time when 
the corporation is well able to pay and when col 
lection is easy. 

"Another merit of this tax is the federal super- 
vision which must be exercised in order to make 
the law effective over the annual accounts and busi 
ness transactions of all corporations. While the 
faculty of assuming a corporate form has been 
of the utmost utility in the business world, it i& 
also true that substantially all of the abuses and 
all of the evils which have aroused the public to 
the necessity of reform were made possible by the 
use of this very faculty. If now by a perfectly 
legitimate and effective system of taxation we are 
incidentally able to possess the government and 
the stockholders and the public of the knowledge 
of the real business transactions and the gains and 
profits of every corporation in the country, we 
have made a long step toward that supervisory 
control of corporations which may prevent a fur- 
ther abuse of power. 

"I recommend, then, first, the adoption of a 
joint resolution by two-thirds of both houses, pro 
posing to the state an amendment to the consti- 
tution granting to the federal government the 
right to levy and collect an income tax without 
apportionment among the states according to pop 
ulation; and, second, the enactment, as part oi 
the pending revenue measure, either as a substl 
tute for, or in addition to, the inheritance tax, of 
an excise tax upon all corporations, measured by 
2 per cent of their net income. 

"WILLIAM H. TAFT. 

"The White House, June 16, 1909." 

The president's corporation tax proposal was 
formulated into an amendment to the tariff bill 
and the amendment was adopted by the senate 
July 2 by a vote of 59 yeas to 11 nays. The re- 
publicans voting against it were Borah, Bristow, 
Bulkeley. Clapp, Cummins, Dolliver, Heyburn and 
LaFollette. The democrats in opposition were 
Chamberlain, Hughes and Shively.

character as have been heretofore usually im- 
ported from Turkey. Greece, Syria and else- 
where, excepting improved wools hereinafter pro- 
vided for. 

Whenever wools of class 3 shall have been im- 
proved by the admixture of Merino or English 
blood, from their present character, they shall 
be classified for duty as class 1 or class 2 as the 
case may be. 

The duty on wools of the first class shall be twice 
the amount of the duty to which they would be 
subjected if imported unwashed; and the duty on 
wools of the first and second classes which shall 
be imported scoured shall be three times the 
duty to which they would be subjected if im- 
ported unwashed. The duty on wools of the 
third class, if imported in condition for use in 
carding or spinning into yarns, or which shall 
not contain more than 8% 9f dirt or foreign 
substance, shall be three times the duty to 
which they would be otherwise subjected. 

Unwashed wools shall be considered such a shall

and prior thereto are excepted. The duty upon 
the wool of the sheep and the hair of the camel, 
etc., which shall be changed in its character for 
the purpose of evading the duty, or which shall 
be reduced in value by the admixture of dirt or 
any foreign substance, shall be twice the duty 
to which it would otherwise be subject. When 
the duty assessed upon any wool equals three 
times or more that which would be assessed !f 
said wool was imported unwashed, the duty shall 
not be doubled on account of the wool being 
sorted. If any bale or package of wool or hair 
invoiced as of any special class shall contain 
any wool or hair subject to a higher rate of 
duty than the class so specified, the whole bale 
or package shall be subject to the highest rate 
of duty chargeable on wool of the class subject 
to such higher rate of duty, and if any bale or 
package be claimed by the importer to be shoddy, 
mungo, flocks, wool, hair or other material of 
any class specified in this act, and such bale con-

or into any of Its possessions (except the Philip- 
pine islands and the islands of Guam and Tu- 
tuila), the rates of duty prescribed by the sched- 
ules and paragraphs of the dutiable list of sec- 
tion 1 of this act, and in addition thereto 25 
per cent ad valorem; which rates shall constitute 
the maximum tariff of the United States; pro- 
vided, that whenever, after the 31st day of March. 
1910, and so long thereafter as the president 
shall be satisfied, in view of the character of 
the concessions granted by the minimum tariff of 
the United States, that the government of any 
foreign country imposes no terms or restrictions, 
either in the way of tariff rates or provisions, 
trade or other regulations, charges, exactions, 
or in any other manner, directly or indirectly, 
upon the importation into or the sale in such 
foreign country of any agricultural, manufac- 
tured or other product of the United States,

States or the products thereof, and that such 
country pays no export bounty or imposes no 
export duty or prohibition upon the exj>ortation 
of any article to the United States, which un- 
duly discriminates against the United States or 
the products thereof, and that such country ac- 
cords to the agricultural, manufactured or other 
products of the United States treatment which 
is reciprocal and equivalent, thereupon and there- 
after, upon proclamation to this effect by the 
president of the United States, all articles when 
imported into the United States, or any of its 
possessions (except the Philippines. Guam and 
Tutuila). from such foreign country shall, except

scribed by section" 1 of this act. The proclama- 
tion issued by the president and the application

exclude from its effect any dependency, colony 
or other political subdivision having authority 
to adopt and enforce tariff legislation, or to im- 
pose restrictions or regulations, or to grant con- 
cessions upon the exportation or importation of 
articles which are, or may be, imported into 
the United States. Whenever the president shall 
be satisfied that the conditions which led to 
the issuance of the proclamation no longer exist, 
hfc shall issue a proclamation to this effect, and 
ninety days thereafter the provisions of the max- 
imum tariff shall be applied to the importation 
of articles from such country. To secure the in- 
formation necessary in carrying out the provi- 
sions of this section the president is authorized 
to employ such persons as may be required.

long to citizens or subjects of that country -from 
which the goods are first shipped. Goods im- 
ported contrary to this provision and vessels 
bringing such goods are subject to seizure and

of a foreign nation which does not maintain a 
similar regulation against vessels of the United 
States.

tion, and the fees and charges connected there- 
with, and all appealable questions as to the laws 
and regulations governing the collection of the 
customs revenues; and the judgment or decrees

ters of reappraisement and classification of im- 
ported goods and of all litigation incident there- 
to,, and shall represent the government in all 
the courts and before all tribunals wherein the 
interests of the government require such repre- 
sentation.

other than dividends, paid within the year on 
policy and annuity contracts and the net addi- 
tion, if any, required by law to be made within 
the year to reserve fund; (6), the amount of in- 
terest actually paid within the year on its bonded 
or other indebtedness to an amount of such 
bonded and other indebtedness not exceeding the 
paid-up capital stock of such corporation, joint 
stock company or association, or insurance com- 
pany, outstanding at the close of the year, and 
in the case of a bank, banking association or 
trust company, stating separately all interest 
paid by it within the yea* on deposits; or in 
case of a corporation, joint stock company or 
association, or insurance company, organized 
under the laws of a foreign country, interest 
so paid on its bonded or other indebtedness to 
an amount of such bonded and other indebtedness 
not exceeding the proportion of its paid-up capi- 
tal stock outstanding at the close of the year, 
which the gross amount of its income for the 
year from business transacted and capital in- 
vested within the United States and any of its 
territories, Alaska and the District of Columbia, 
bears to the gross amount of its income derived 
from all sources within and without the United 
States; (7), the amount paid by it within the 
year for taxes imposed under the authority of

of, and separately the amount so paid by it for 
taxes imposed by the government of any foreign

therein; (8), the net income of such corporation, 
joint stock company or association, or insurance 
company, after making the deductions in this 
section authorized. All such returns shall as 
received be transmitted forthwith by the collect- 
or to the commissioner of internal revenue. 

Fourth. Whenever evidence shall be produced be- 
fore the commissioner of internal revenue which 
in the opinion of the commissioner justifies the 
belief that the return made by any corporation, 
joint stock company or association, or insurance 
company, is incorrect, or whenever any collector 
shall report to the comtnisslouer of internal rev- 
enue that any corporation, joint stock company 
or association, or insurance company, has failed 
to make a return as required by law, the com- 
missioner of internal revenue may require from 
the corporation, joint stock company or associa- 
tion or insurance company making such return 
such further information with reference to its 
capital, income, losses and expenditures as he 
may deem expedient; and the commissioner of 
internal revenue, for the purpose of ascertaining 
the correctness of such return or for the purpose 
of making a return where none has been made, 
is hereby authorized, by any regularly appointed 
revenue agent specially designated by him for 
that purpose, to examine any books and papers 
bearing upon the matters required to be included 
in the return of such corporation, joint stock 
company or association, or insurance company, 
and to require the attendance of any officer or 
employe of such corporation, joint stock company 
or association, or insurance company, and to 
take his testimony with reference to the 
matter required by law to be included in sudi 
return, with power to administer oaths to such 
person or persons; and the commissioner of in- 
ternal revenue may also invoke the aid of any 
court of the United States having jurisdiction 
to require the attendance of such officers or em- 
ployes and the production of such books and 
papers. Upon the information so acquired the 
commissioner of internal revenue may amend any 
return or make a return where none has been 
made. All proceedings taken by the commis- 
sioner of internal revenue under the provisions 
of this section shall be subject to the approval 
of the secretary of the treasury. 

Fifth. All returns shall be .retained by the com- 
missioner of internal revenue, who shall make 
assessments thereon; and in case of any return 
made with false or fraudulent intent he shall 



add 100% of such tax, and in case of a refusal 
or neglect to make a return or to verify the 
same as aforesaid he shall add 50% of such tax. 
In case of neglect occasioned by sickness or ab- 
sence of an officer of "such corporation, joint stock 
company or association, or insurance company, 
required to make said return, or for other suffi- 
cient reason, the collector may allow such fur- 
ther time for making and delivering such retucn 
as he may deem necessary, not exceeding thirty 
days. The amount so added to the tax shall be 
collected at the same time and in the same 
manner as the tax originally assessed unless 
the refusal, neglect or falsity is discovered 
after the date for the payment of said taxes, in 
which case the amount so added shall be paid by 
the delinquent corporation, joint stock company 
or association, or insurance company, immedi- 
ately upon notice given by the collector. All 
assessments shall be made and the several cor- 
porations, joint stock companies or associations, 
or insurance companies, shall be notified of tue 
amount for which they are respectively liable 
on or before the first day of June of each suc- 
cessive year, and said assessments shall be paid 
on or before the 30th day of June, except in 
cases of refusal or neglect to make such return, 
and in cases of false or fraudulent returns, 
in which cases the commissioner of internal rev- 
enue shall, upon the discovery thereof, at any 
time within three years after said return is due, 
make return upon information obtained as above 
provided for, and the assessment made by the 
commissioner of internal revenue thereon shall 
be paid by such corporation, joint stock company 
or association, or insurance company, immedi- 
ately upon notification of the amount of such 
assessment; and to any sum or sums due and 
unpaid after the 30th day of June in any year, 
and for ten days after notice and demand there- 
of by the collector, there shall be added 5% on 
the amount of tax unpaid and interest at th 
rate of 1% per month upon said tax from the 
time the same becomes due. 

Sixth. When the assessment shall be made, as pro- 
vided in this section, the returns, together with 
any corrections thereof which may have been 
made by the commissioner, shall be filed in the 
office of the commissioner of internal revenue 
and shall constitute public records and be open 
to inspection as such. 

Seventh. It shall be unlawful for any collector, 
deputy collector, agent, clerk or other officer or 
employe of the United States to divulge or make 
known in any manner whatever not provided by 
law to any person any information obtained by 
him in the discharge of his official duty, or to 
divulge or make known in any manner not pro- 
vided by law any document received, evidence 
taken or report made under this section except 
upon the special direction of the president; and 
any offense against the foregoing provision shall 
be a misdemeanor and be punished by a fine not 
exceeding $1.000, or by imprisonment not exceed- 
ing one year, or both, at the discretion of the 
court. 

Eighth. If any of the corporations, joint stock 
companies or associations, or insurance compa- 
nies, aforesaid, shall refuse or neglect to make 
a return at the time or times hereinbefore speci- 
fied in each -year, or shall render a false or 
fraudulent return, such corporation, joint stock 
company or association, or insurance company, 
shall be liable to a penalty not less than $1,000 
and not exceeding $10,000. 

Any person authorized by law to make, render, 
sign or verify any return who makes any false 
or fraudulent return, or statement, with intent 
to defeat or evade the assessment required by 
this section to be made, shall be guilty of a 
misdemeanor, and shall be fined not exceeding 
$1.000 or be imprisoned not exceeding one year, 
or both, at the discretion of the court, with 
the costs of prosecution. 

All laws relating to the collection, remission and 
refund of internal-revenue taxes, so far as ap- 
plicable to and not inconsistent with the pro- 
visions of this section, are hereby extended and 
made applicable to the tax imposed by this sec- 
tion. Jurisdiction is hereby conferred upon the 



CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1910. 



Circuit and District courts of the United States

moned under this section to appear to testify or 
to produce books, as aforesaid, shall reside, to 
compel such attendance, production of books and 
testimony by appropriate process. 

PANAMA CANAL BONDS. 

Section 39. That the secretary of the treasury is 
hereby authorized to borrow on the credit of the 
United States from time to time, as the pro- 
ceeds may be required to defray expenditures 
on account of the Panama canal and to reim- 
burse the treasury for such expenditures already 
made and not covered by previous issues of 
bonds, the sum of $295,569,000 (which sum to- 
gether with the $84,631,900 already borrowed 
upon issues of 2% bonds under section 8 of 
the act June 28, 1902, equals the estimate of 
the isthmian canal commission to cover the 
entire cost of the canal from its inception to its 
completion), and to prepare and issue therefor 
coupon or registered bonds of the United States 
in such form as he may prescribe, and in de- 
nominations of $100, $500 and $1,000, payable fifty 
years from the date of issue, and bearing inter- 
est payable quarterly in gold coin at a rate not 
exceeding 3% per annum; and the bonds herein 
authorized shall be exempt from all taxes 
or duties of the United States, as well as from 
taxation in any form by or under state, munici- 
pal or local authority; provided, that said bonds 
may be disposed of by the secretary of the treas- 
ury at not less than par, under such regulations 
as he may prescribe, giving to all citizens of the 
United States an equal opportunity to subscribe 
therefor, but no commissions shall be allowed or 
paid thereon; and a sum not exceeding 1-10% of 



the amount of the bonds herein authorized is 
hereby appropriated, out of any money in the 
treasury not otherwise appropriated, to pay the 
expenses of preparing, advertising and issuing 
the same; and the authority contained in sec- 
tion 8 of the act of June 28, 1902, for the issue 
of bonds bearing interest ut 2% per annum is 
hereby repealed. 

Sec. 40. That section 32 of an act entitled "An 
act providing ways and means to meet war ex- 
penditures, and for other purposes." approved 
June 13, 1898, be and the same is hereby amended 
to read as follows: 

"That the secretary of the treasury is authorized 
to borrow from time to time, at a rate of inter- 
est not exceeding 3% per annum, such sum or 
sums as, in his judgment, may be necessary to 
meet public expenditures, and to issue therefor 
certificates of indebtedness in such form as he 
may prescribe and in denominations of $50 or- 
some multiple of that sum; and each certificate 
so issued shall be payable, with the interest 
accrued thereon, at such time, not exceeding one 
year from the date of its issue, as the secretary 
of the treasury may prescribe; provided, that the 
sum of such certificates outstanding shall at no 
time exceed $200,000,000; and the provisions of 
existing law respecting counterfeiting and other 
fraudulent practices are hereby extended to the 
bonds and certificates of indebtedness authorized 
by this act." 

Section 41 repeals sections 1 to 4 of the tariff bill 
of July 24, 1897, and all acts and parts of acts 
inconsistent with the present act. 

Section 42 provides that unless otherwise herein 
specially provided, this act shall take effect on 
the day following its passage. 

Approved. Signed five minutes after 5 o'clock,

PAYNE-ALDRICH AND DINGLEY ACTS COMPARED. 



The following table shows some of the principal 
decreases and increases made in the United States 
customs duties by the Payne-Aldrich law of 1909 
as compared with the Dingley act of 1897. Owing 
to numerous changes in the description and classi- 
fication of articles and the substitution of ad 
valorem for specific duties, or vice versa, it is in 
a great many instances impossible to indicate the 
changes in tabular form. In some cases it is a 
matter of doubt whether there has been an in- 
crease or decrease of duty. Approximately there 
were 590 reductions and 300 increases in the law of 
1909 as compared with the law of 1897. In the list 
appended only a portion of these changes are 
shown. Details of classification are omitted, it 
being understood that the rates compared are on 
articles of the same description. The Dingley 
rates are given first and the Payne-Aldrich rates 
second.

COPYRIGHT LAW OF THE UNITED STATES. 

The act to amend and consolidate the acts re- 
specting copyright, in force July 1, 1909, provides 
that any person entitled thereto, upon complying 
with the provisions of the law, shall have the ex- 
clusive right (a) to print, reprint, publish, copy 
and vend the copyrighted work; (b) to translate the 
copyrighted work or make any other version of it 
if it be a literary work; to dramatize it if it be a 
nondramatic work; to convert it into a novel or 
other nondramatic work if it be a drama; to ar- 
range or adapt it if it be a musical work; to fin- 
ish it if it be a model or design for a work of art; 
(c) to deliver or authorize the delivery of the 
copyrighted work if it be a lecture, sermon, ad- 
dress or similar production; (d) to perform the 
copyrighted work publicly if it be a drama or, if 
it be a dramatic work and not reproduced in 
copies for sale, to vend the manuscript or any rec- 
ord thereof; to make or to procure the making of

any transcription or record thereof by which it 
may in any manner be exhibited, performed or 
produced, and to exhibit, perform or produce it 
in any manner whatsoever; (e) to perform the 
copyrighted work publicly for profit if it be a mu- 
Bical composition and for the purpose of public 
performance for profit and to make any arrange- 
ment or setting of it in any system of notation or 
any form of record in which the thought of an 
author may be read or reproduced. 

So far as they secure copyright controlling the 
parts of instruments serving to reproduce mechan- 
icaJJy the musical work the law includes only com- 
positions published after the act went into effect; 
it does not include the works of a foreign author 
or composer unless the country of which he is a 
citizen or subject grants similar rights to Amer- 
ican citizens. Whenever the owner of a musical 
copyright has used or permitted the use of the 
copyrighted work upon the part of instruments 
serving to reproduce mechanically the musical 
work, any other person may make a similar use of 
the work upon the payment to the owner of a roy- 
alty of 2 cents on each such part manufactured. 
The reproduction or rendition of a musical com- 
position by or upon coin-operated machines shall 
not be deemed a public performance for profit un- 
less a fee is charged for admission to the place 
where the reproduction occurs. 

The works for which copyright may be secured 
Include all the writings of an author. 

The application for registration shall specify to 
which of the following classes the work in which 
copyright is claimed belongs: 

(a) Books, including composite and cyclopedic 
works, directories, gazetteers and other compila- 
tions. 

(b) Periodicals, including newspapers. 

(c) Lectures, sermons, addresses, prepared for 
oral delivery. 

Dramatic or dramatic-musical compositions, 
"lusical compositions. 

taps. 

Works of art; models or designs for works 
of' art. 

(h) Reproductions of a work of art. 
(i) Drawings or plastic works of a scientific or 
technical character. 



Drs

Maj 
Woi 



(j) Photographs. 



Prints and pictorial illustrations. 

These specifications do not, however, limit the 
subject matter of copyright as defined in the law 
nor does any error in classification invalidate the 
copyright protection secured. 

Copyright extends to the work of a foreign author 
or proprietor only in case he is domiciled in the 
United States at the time of the first publication 
of his work or if the country of which he is a citi- 
zen grants similar copyright protection to citizens 
of the United States. 

Any person entitled thereto by the law may se- 
cure copyright for his work by publication thereof 
with the notice of copyright required by the act, 
and such notice shall be affixed to each copy pub- 
lished or offered for sale in the United States. 
Such person may obtain registration of his claim 
to copyright by complying with the provisions of 
the act, including the deposit of copies, whereupon 
the register of copyrights shall issue to him a cer- 
tificate as provided for in the law. Copyright may 
also be had of the works of an author of which 
copies are not reproduced for sale by the deposit 
with claim of copyright of one complete copy, if it 
be a lecture or similar production, or a dramatic 
or musical composition; of a photographic print if 
it be a photograph, or of a photograph or other 
Identifying reproduction thereof if it be a work of 
art or a plastic work or drawing. 

After copyright has been secured there must be 
deposited in the copyright office in Washington, 
D. C.. two complete copies of the best edition 
thereof, which copies, if the work be a book or pe- 
riodical, shall have been produced in accordance 
with the manufacturing provisions of the act, or if 
such work be a contribution to a periodical for 
which contribution special registration is requester! 
one copy of the issue or issues containing such 
contribution. Failure to deposit the copies within 
a given time after notice from the register of 
copyrights makes the proprietor of the copyright 



liable to a fine of $100 and twice the retail price 
of the work and the copyright becomes void. 

The text of all books and periodicals specified in 
paragraphs (a) and (b) above, except the original 
text of a book of foreign origin in a language 
other than English, must in order to secure pro- 
tection be printed from type set within the limits 
of the United States, either by hand, machinery or 
other process, and the printing of the text and the 
binding of the books must also be done within the 
United States. An affidavit of such manufacture is 
required. 

The notice of copyright required consists either 
of the word "copyright" or the abbreviation 
"copr.," accompanied by the name of the copyright 
proprietor, and if the work be a printed literary, 
musical or dramatic work, the notice must also in- 
clude the year in which the copyright was secured 
by publication. In the case, however, of copies of 
works specified in paragraphs (f) to (k) inclusive 
(given above) the notice may consist of the letter 
C inclosed within a circle, accompanied by the ini- 
tials, monogram, mark or symbol of the copyright 
proprietor, provided his name appears elsewhere on 
the copies. In the case of a book or other printed 
publication the notice shall be applied on the title 
page or on the page immediately following, or if a 
periodical either upon the title page or upon the 
first page of text of each separate number or un- 
der the title heading; or if a musical work upon its 
title page or the first page of music. 

Where the copyright proprietor has sought to 
comply with the law with respect to notice, the 
omission of such notice by mistake from a particu- 
lar copy or copies shall not invalidate the copy- 
right or prevent recovery for infringement against 
any person who, after actual notice of the copy- 
right, begins an undertaking to infringe it, but 
shall prevent the recovery of damages against an 
innocent infringer who has been misled by the 
omission of the notice. 

In the case of a book in English published abroad 
before publication in this country, the deposit in 
the copyright office within thirty days of one copy 
of the foreign edition, with a request for the res- 
ervation of the copyright, secures for the author 
or owner an ad interim copyright for thirty days 
after such deposit is made. 

The copyright secured by the act endures for 
twenty-eight years from the date of the first publi- 
cation. In the case of any posthumous work, peri- 
odical, encyclopedic or other composite work upon 
which the copyright was originally secured by the 
proprietor thereof, or of any work copyrighted by a 
corporate body, or by an employer for whom such 
work is made for hire, the proprietor of such copy- 
right shall be entitled to a renewal of the copy- 
right in such work for the further term of twenty- 
eight years when application for such renewal shall 
have been made within one year prior to the ex- 
piration of the original term. In the case of any 
other copyrighted work, including a contribution by 
an individual author to a periodical or to a cyclo- 
pedic or other composite work when such contribu- 
tion has been separately copyrighted, the author of 
such work, if living, or the heirs, executors or 
next of kin, if the author be dead, shall be en- 
titled to a renewal of the copyright for a further 
term of twenty-eight years. In default of such ap- 
plication for renewal the copyright in any work 
shall end at the expiration of twenty-eight years. 

If any person shall infringe the copyright in any 
work protected under the copyright laws of the 
United States, such person shall be liable: 

(a) To an injunction restraining such infringe- 
ment; 

(b) To pay to the copyright proprietor such dam- 
ages as the copyright proprietor may have suffered 
due to the infringement, as well as all the profits 
which the infringer shall ha^e made from such in- 
fringement, and in proving profits the plaintiff 
shall be required to prove sales only and the de- 
fendant shall be required to prove every element 
of cost which he claims, or in lieu of actual dam- 
ages or profits such damages as to the court shall 
appear to be just, and in assessing such damages 
the court may, in its discretion, allow the amounts 
as hereinafter stated (in numbered paragraphs), but 
in the case of a newspaper reproduction or a copy- 
righted phot graph such damages shall not exceed 
the sum of $200 nor be less than $50, and such dam-

ages shall in no other case exceed the sum of $250 
and shall not be regarded as a penalty: 

1. In the case of a painting, statue or sculpture, 
$10 for every infringing copy made or sold by or 
found in the possession of the infringer or his 
agents or employes; 

2. In the case of any work enumerat&d in the list 
(given above) of works for which copyright may be 
asked, except a painting, statue or sculpture, $1 for 
every infringing copy. 

3. In the case of a lecture, sermon or address, 
$50 for every infringing delivery. 

4. In the case of dramatic or dramatico-musical 
or a choral or orchestral composition, $100 for the 
first and $50 for every subsequent infringing per- 
formance; in the case of other musical composi- 
tions, $10 for every infringing performance. 

(c) To deliver up on oath all articles alleged to 
infringe a copyright. 

(d) To deliver up on oath for destruction all the 
infringing copies or devices, as well as all plates, 
molds, matrices or other means for making such in- 
fringing copies, as the court may order. 

(e) Whenever the owner of a musical copyright 
has used or permitted the use of the copyrighted 
work up >n the parts of musical instruments serv- 
ing to reproduce mechanicaDy the musical work, 
then in case of infringement by the unauthorized 
manufacture, use or sale of interchangeable parts, 



such as disks, rolls, bands or cylinders for use in 

cing machi 
action shall be brought, but in a civil action an 



mechanical music-producing machines, no criminal 



injunction may be granted upon such terms as the 
court may impose and the plaintiff shall be en- 
titled to recover in lieu of profits and damages a 
royalty as provided in the act. 

Any person who shall willfully and for profit in- 
fringe any copyright, or willfully aid or abet such 
infringement, shall be deemed guilty of a misde- 
meanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be pun- 
ished by imprisonment for not exceeding one year 
or by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than 
$1,000 or both, in the discretion of the court. It is 
provided, however, that nothing in the act shall 
prevent the performance of religious or secular 
works, such as oratorios, cantatas, masses or octavo 
choruses by public schools, church choirs or vocal 
societies, provided the performance is for chari- 
table or educational purposes and not for profit. 

Any person who shall fraudulently place a copy- 
right notice upon any uncopyrighted article, or 
shall fraudulently remove or alter the notice upon 
any copyrighted article, shall be deemed guilty of 
a misdemeanor and shall be subject to a fine of 
not less than $100 nor more than $1,000. Any per- 
son who shall knowingly sell or issue any article 
bearing a notice of United States copyright which 
has not been copyrighted in this country, or who 
shall knowingly import any article bearing such 
notice, shall be liable to a fine of $100. 



During the existence of the American copyright 
any book the importation of any piratical 
copies thereof or of any copies not produced in ac- 



cordance with the manufacturing provisions of the 
copyright law, or of any plates of the same not 
made from type set in this country, or any copies 
produced by lithographic or photo-engraving proc- 
ess not performed within the United States, is pro- 
hibited. Except as to piratical copies this does 
not apply. 

(a) To works in raised characters for the blind; 

(b) To a foreign newspaper or magazine, al- 
though containing matter copyrighted in the 
United States printed or reprinted by authority of 
the copyright owner, unless such newspaper or 
magazine contains also copyright matter printed 
without such authorization; 

(c) To the authorized edition of a book in a for- 
eign language of which only a translation into 
English has been copyrighted in this country; 



(d) To any book published abroad with the au- 
thorization of the author or copyright proprietor 
under the following circumstances: 

1. When imported, not more than one copy at a 
time, for individual use and not for sale, but such 
privilege of importation shall not extend to a for- 
eign reprint of a book by an American author copy- 
righted in the United States; 

2. When imported by or for the use of the 
United States; 

3. When imported, for use and not for sale, not 
more than one copy of any such book in any one 
invoice, in good faith, by or for any society or in- 
stitution incorporated for educational, literary, 
philosophical, scientific or religious purposes, or 
for the encouragement of the fine arts, or for any 
college, academy, school or seminary of learning, or 
for any state, school, college, university or free 
public library in the United States; 

4. When such books form parts of libraries or 
collections purchased en bloc for the use of socie- 
ties, institutions or libraries, or form parts of the 
library or personal baggage belonging to persons or 
families arriving from foreign countries and are 
not intended for sale. 

No criminal actions shall be maintained under the 
copyright law unless the same be begun within 
three years after the cause of action arose. 

Copyright may be assigned, mortgaged or be- 
queathed by will. 

There shall be appointed by the librarian of con- 
gress a register of copyrights at a salary of $4,000 
per year and an assistant register at $3,000 a year. 

These with their subordinate assistants shall per- 
form all the duties relating to the registration of 
copyrights. The register of copyrights shall keep 
such record books in the copyright office as are re- 
quired to carry out the provisions of the law, and 
whenever deposit has been made in the copyright 
office of a copy of any work under the provisions 
of the act he shall make entry thereof. 

In the case of each entry the person recorded as 
the claimant of the copyright shall be entitled to 
a certificate of registration under seal of the copy- 
right office.

EARTHQUAKES IN SOUTHERN FRANCE. 



On the night of June 11, 1909, several severe 
shocks occurred on the northern coast of the Medi- 
terranean from Italy to Portugal. They were felt 
most severely in Provence, France, where a num- 
ber of small towns were partly wrecked. The 
greatest damage was done at Lambesc, St. Cannat, 



Rognes, Venelles and Vernegues. Between 75 and 
100 lives were lost and about 300 persons were in- 
jured. The property loss amounted to thousands 
of dollars. The same region was visited by an 
earthquake Feb. 23, 1887, when 650 lives were lost.

DAYLIGHT-SAVING MOVEMENT, 



The movement begun in 1908 for making a 
larger use of daylight during the summer months 
made considerable progress" in 1909. In Great 
Britain a bill with this end in view was favor- 
ably reported by a select committee in the house 
of commons, but did not become a law. In the 
Canadian house of commons the following bill was 
introduced in March: 

"Whereas, it is desirable to adopt standard 
time in advance of the standard time now in use, 
with the object of promoting a more extended use 
and enjoyment of daylight during the summer 
months; therefore, his majesty, by and with the 
advice and consent of the senate and house of 
commons of Canada, enacts as follows: 

"1. 'Phis act may be cited as the daylight-sav- 
ing act. 

7 '2. This act shall not apply to the Yukon 
territory. 

"3. From and after 2 o'clock in the morning 
of the first Sunday of April in each year until 2 
o'clock in the morning of the first Sunday of No- 
vember in each year the standard time shall be 



2. To promote the greater use of daylight for 
industrial and recreative purposes of all kinds. 

3. To benefit the physique, general health and 
welfare of ail classes of the community. 

4. To reduce industrial, commercial and domestic 
expenditure on artificial light. 

The act was not pressed to a conclusion. 

In the United States the lead in the movement 
was taken by the National Daylight association, 
formed May 6 fc 1909. The organization had for its 
purpose the saving of one hour of daylight earh 
day for the five summer months, Mn.v 1 to Oct. 
1, of each year to all the people of the United 
States. A committee visited Washington and had 
an audience with President Taft, who considered 
the proposition favorably and who suggested that 
specific plans be made and carried into effect in 
tne city of Cincinnati. The suggestion was adopt- 
ed, and June 28 the following ordinance, pre- 
sented by Mr. Michael Mullen, was passed unani 
rnouslv: 

"Whereas, the health and physical welfare of 
the people of this community can be greatly en-

Twilight is the refracted sunlight visible before the sun rises or after the sun has set. It begins 
and ends when the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon. 



one hour in advance of the standard time now 
in use. 

"4. The time hereby established shall be known 
as standard time, and when any period of time 
is mentioned in any act of parliament, deed or 
other legal instrument, the time mentioned or 
referred to shall, umless it is otherwise spe- 
cifically stated, be held to be standard time under 
this act. 

"5. Greenwich mean time, as used for the pur- 
poses of astronomy and navigation, shall not be 
affected by this act. 

"6. This act shall come into force after the 
passing thereof on Jan. I, 1910." 

The select committee to which the act was re- 
ferred reported it back with the recommendation 
that it should be put into force as soon as possi- 
ble. The committee held that the effect of the 
proposals of the bill would be: 

1. To move the usual hours of work and leisure 
nearer to sunrise.

"Whereas, in order to accomplish such results 
it is desirable to adopt a standard time in nd%ance

TTuci^ao, ^ consequence of this change no 
railroad will be compelled to change a single 
schedule, nor any factory its hours of work; 

"Now, therefore, be it ordained by the council 
of the city of Cincinnati, state of Ohio: 

"Section 1. That from and .after 2 o'clock In 
the morning of the first day of May of each year 
until 2 o'clock in the morning of the first day 
of October in each year the standard time shall 
be one hour in advance of the standard time now 
in use. 

"Sec. 2. This ordinance shall take effect and be 
in force from and after the first day of Jan- 
uary. 1910."

LAKES-TO-GULF WATERWAY PROJECT. 



June 10, 1909. the special board appointed under 
authority of congress to investigate the feasibility 
of constructing a ship canal from the lakes to the 
Gulf of Mexico reported that a fourteen-foot chan- 
nel could be built at a cost of $159,000,000 and 
eighteen years of labor. It estimated that it 
would take $128,000,000 to construct such a channel 
from St. Louis to the mouth of the Mississippi 
alone. 

"It is not desirable," said the board in Its re- 
port, "to construct a navigable channel fourteen 
feet in depth from St. Louis to the mouth of the 
Mississippi river, or from Chicago to the mouth 
of the Mississippi river. The present demands of 
commerce between "St. Louis and the mouth of the 
Mississippi river are adequately met by the exist- 
ing projects, having for their object the obtaining 
and maintenance of an eight-foot channel from St. 



Louis to the mouth of the Ohio, and a channel of 
not less than nine feet depth below the mouth of 
the Ohio. The board believes that an eight-foot 
channel from Chicago to St. Louis, corresponding 
to the present eight-foot project from St. Louis to 
Cairo, is the least that would adequately meet the 
demand of commerce, and believes such a water- 
way would be desirable provided its cost is rea- 
sonable. Present and prospective demands of com- 
merce between Chicago and the gulf will be ade- 
quately served by a through channel nine feet in 
depth, which may be obtained without violent 
changes of existing methods of improvement." 

The board consisted of Col. W. H. Bixby, Lieut. - 
Col. C. McD. Townsend and Lieut. -Col. J. G. War- 
ren, corps of engineers. U. S. A., and Henry B. 
Richardson and Homer B. Ritter of the Mississippi 
river commission. 



DEATH OF HENRY H. ROGERS. 



Henry H. Rogers, for many years one of the 
leading financiers in the United States, died at his 
home in New York, N. Y., May 19, 1909. from a 
stroke of apoplexy. He was 69 years of age, hav- 
ing been bora in Fairhaven, Mass., in 1840. He 



was vice-president of the Standard Oil company, 
an active spirit in the organization of the Amal- 
gamated Copper company and a director in many 
railroad and other corporations. His wealth was 
estimated at more than $50,000,000.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S LONG RIDE. 



President Roosevelt rode ninety-eight miles on 
horseback Jan. 13, 1909, in seventeen hours. He 
left the White house in Washington at 3:30 a. m., 
accompanied by Dr. P. M. Rixey, Dr. C. Grayson 
and Capt. Archibald Butt, and returned at 8:40 
p. m. The ride was to Warrenton, Va., and 



back and the last thirty miles were made In 
sleet, rain and darkness. The president showed 
no signs of undue fatigue. The ride was taken 
to prove that the army order requiring officer* 
to take a physical test by riding ninety miles in 
three days was not an unreasonable one.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1910. 



UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE. 
Civil-service act approved Jan. 16, 1883. 



Officers Three commissioners are appointed by 
the president to assist him in classifying the gov- 
ernment offices and positions, formulating rales and 
enforcing the law. Their office is in Washington, 
D. C. The chief examiner is appointed by the 
commissioners to secure accuracy, uniformity and 
justice in the proceedings of the examining boards. 
The secretary to the commission is appointed by 
the president. 

General Rules The fundamental rules governing 
appointments to government positions are found in 
the civil-service act itself. Based upon these are 
many other regulations formulated by the commis- 
sion and promulgated by the president from 'time 
to time as new contingencies arise. The present 
rules were approved March 20, 1903. and went into 
effect April 15, 1903. In a general way they re- 
quire that there must be free, open examinations 
of applicants for positions in the public service; 
that appointments shall be made from those graded 
highest in the examinations ; that appointments to 
the service in Washington shall be apportioned 
among the states and territories according to popu- 
lation ; that there shall be a period (six months) 
of probation before any absolute appointment is 
made ; that no person in the public service is for 
that reason obliged to contribute to any political 
fund or is subject to dismissal for refusing to so 
contribute; that no person in the public service 
has any right to use his official authority or influ- 
ence to coerce the political action of any person. 
Applicants for positions shall not be questioned as 
to their political or religious beliefs and no dis- 
crimination shall be exercised against or in favor 
of any applicant or employe on account of his re- 
ligion or politics. The classified civil service shall 
include all officers and employes in the executive 
civil service of the United States except laborers 
and persons whose appointments are subject to 
confirmation by the senate. 

Examinations These are conducted by boards of 
examiners chosen from among persons in govern- 
ment employ and are held twice a year in all the 
states and territories at convenient places. In Illi- 
nois, for example, they are usually held at Cairo, 
Chicago and Peoria. The dates are announced 
through the newspapers or by other means. They 
can always be learned by applying to the commis- 
sion or to the nearest postoffice or custom house. 
Those who desire to take examinations are advised 
to write to the commission in Washington for the 
"Manual of Examinations." which is sent free to 
all applicants. It is revised semiannually to Jan. 
1 and July 1. The January edition contains a 
schedule of the spring examinations and the July 
edition contains a schedule of the fall examina- 
tions. Full information is given as to the methods 
and rules governing examinations, manner of mak- 
ing application, qualifications required, regulations 
for rating examination papers, certification for 
and chances of appointment, and as far as possible 
it outlines the scope of the different subjects of 
general and technical examinations. These are 
practical in character and are designed to test the 
relative capacity and fitness to discharge the duties 
to be performed. It is necessary to obtain an aver- 
age percentage of 70 to be eligible for appoint- 
ment, except that applicants entitled to preference 
because of honorable discharge from the military 
or naval service for disability resulting from 
wounds or sickness incurred in the line of duty 
need obtain but 65 per cent. The period of eligi- 
bility is one year. 

Qualifications of Applicants No person will be 
examined who is not a citizen of the United States ; 
who is not within the age limitations prescribed ; 
who is physically disqualified for the service which 
he seeks ; who has been guilty of criminal, infa- 
mons. dishonest or disgraceful conduct ; who has 
been dismissed from the public service for delin- 
quency and misconduct or has failed to receive ab- 
solute appointment after probation : who is addict- 
ed to the habitual use of intoxicating liquors to 
excess, or who has made a false statement in his 
application. The age limitations in the more im- 
portant branches of the public service are : Post- 
office. 18 to 45 years ; rural letter carriers, 17 to 55 ; 



internal revenue, 21 years and over; railway mall. 
IS to 35 ; lighthouse, 18 to 50 ; life saving, 18 to 45 ; 
general departmental, 20 and over. These age lim- 
itations are subject to change by the commission. 
They do not apply to applicants of the preferred 
class. Applicants for the position of railway mail 
clerk must be at least 5 feet 6 inches in height, 
exclusive of boots or shoes, and weigh not less 
than 135 pounds in ordinary clothing and have no 
physical defects. Applicants for certain other po- 
sitions have to come up to similar physical re- 
quirements. 

Method of Appointment Whenever a vacancy ex- 
ists the appointing officer makes requisition upon 
the civil-service commission for a certification of 
names to fill the vacancy, specifying the kind of 
position vacant, the sex desired and the salary. 
The commission thereupon takes from the proper 
register of eligibles the names of three persons 
standing highest of the sex called for and certifies 
them to the appointing officer, who is required to 
make the selection. He may choose any one of 
the three names, returning the other two to the 
register to await further certification. The time 
of examination is not considered, as the highest 
in average percentage on the register must be cer- 
tified first. If after a probationary period of six 
months the name of the appointee is continued on 
the roll of the department in which he serves the 
appointment is considered absolute. 

Removals No person can be removed from a 
competitive position except for such cause as will 
promote the efficiency of the public service and for 
reasons given in writing. No examination of wit- 
nesses nor any trial shall be required except in 
the discretion of the officer making the removal. 

Salaries Entrance to the department service is 
usually in the lowest grades, the higher grades be- 
ing generally filled by promotion. The usual en- 
trance grade is about $900, but the applicant may 
be appointed at $840. $760 or even $600.

80 



CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1910. 



The courts have held that neither Chinese, Jap- 
anese. Hawaiians, Burmese nor Indians can be nat- 
uralized. 

The naturalization laws apply to women as well 
as men. An alien woman who marries a citizen, 
native or naturalized, becomes a naturalized citi- 
zen of the United States. 

Aliens may become citizens of the United States 
by treaties with foreign powers, by conquest or by 
special acts of congress. 

In an act approved March 2, 1907, it is provid- 
ed that any American citizen shall have expatria- 
ted himself when he has been naturalized in any 
foreign state in conformity with its laws, or when 
he has taken an oath of allegiance to any foreign 

When any naturalized citizen shall have resided 
for two years in the foreign state from which he 
came, or five 'years in any other foreign state, it 
shall be presumed that he has ceased to be an 
American citizen, and the place of his general 
abode shall be deemed his place of residence dur- 
ing said years; provided, however, that such pre- 
sumption may be overcome on the presentation of 
satisfactory evidence to a diplomatic or consular 
officer of the United States, under such rules and 
regulations as the department of state may pre- 
scribe; and, provided also, that no American citi- 
zen shall be allowed to expatriate himself when 
this country is at war. 

Any American woman who marries a foreigner 
shall take the nationality of her husband. At the 
termination of the marital relation she may re- 
sume her American citizenship, if abroad, by reg- 
istering as an American citizen within one year 
with a consul of the United States, or by return- 
ing to reside in the United States, or, if residing 
in the United States at the termination of the 
marital relation, by continuing to reside therein. 

Any foreign woman who acquires American citi- 
zenship by marriage to an American citizen shall 
be assumed to retain the same after the termina- 
tion of the marital relation if she continue to re- 
side in the United States, unless she makes form- 
al renunciation thereof before a court having ju- 
risdiction to naturalize aliens, or, if she resides 
abroad, she may retain her citizenship by register- 
ing as such before a United States consul within 
one year after the termination of such marital re- 
lation. 

A child born without the United States, of alien 
parents, shall be deemed a citizen of the United 
States by virtue of the naturalization of or re- 
sumption of American citizenship of the parent; 
provided that such naturalization or resumption 
takes place during the minority of such child; and, 
provided further, that the citizenship of such mi- 
nor child shall begin at the time such minor child 
begins to reside permanently in the United States. 

All children born outside the limits of the 
United States, who are citizens thereof in accord- 
ance with the provisions of section 1993 of the Re- 
vised Statutes of the United States (see above), 
and who continue to reside outside of the United 
States, shall, in order to receive the protection of 
the government, be required, upon reaching the 
ege of 18 years, to record at an American con- 
sulate their intention to become residents and re- 
main citizens of the United States and shall fur- 
ther be required to take the oath of allegiance to 
the United States upon attaining their majority. 



NATURALIZATION LAWS. 

Approved June 29, 1906. 

Exclusive jurisdiction to naturalize aliens resi- 
dent in their districts is conferred upon the United 
States Circuit and District courts and all courts 
of record having a seal, a clerk and jurisdiction 
In actions in law or equity or both in which the 
amount in controversy is unlimited. 

An alien may be admitted to citizenship in the 
following manner and not otherwise: 

1. He shall declare on oath before the clerk of 
the proper court at least two years before his ad- 
mission, and after he has reached the age of 18 
years, that it is bona fide his intention to become 
a citizen of the United States and to renounce 
allegiance to any foreign state or sovereignty. 



Such declaration shall set forth the same facts 
as are registered at the time of his arrival. 

2. Not less than two years nor more than seven 
after he has made such declaration he shall file 
a petition, signed by himself and verified, in which 
he shall state his name, place of residence, occu- 
pation, date and place of birth, place from which 
he emigrated, name of the vessel on which he ar- 
rived: the time when and the place and name of 
the court where he declared his intention of be- 
coming a citizen: if he is married, he shall state 
the name of his wife, the country of her nativity 
and her place of residence at the time the peti- 
tion is filed, and if he has children, the name, 
date and place of birth and place of residence of 
each child living. The petition shall also set forth 
that he is not a disbeliever in or opposed to organ- 
ized government or a member of any body of per- 
sons opposed to organized government, and that 
he is not a polygamist or a believer in polygamy; 
that he intends to become a citizen of and to 
live permanently in the United States, and every 
other fact material to his naturalization and re- 
quired to be proved upon the final hearing of his 
application. The petition shall be verified by the 
affidavits of at least two credible witnesses who 
are citizens. At the time of the filing of the peti- 
tion there shall be also filed a certificate from the 
department of commerce and labor stating the 
date, place and manner of his arrival in the 
United States and the declaration of intention of 
such petitioner, which certificate and declaration 
shall be attached to and be a part of his petition. 

3. He shall, before he is admitted to citizen- 
ship, declare on oath in open court that he will 
support the constitution of the United States, 
and that he absolutely renounces all allegiance to 
any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty. 

4. It shall be made apparent to the satisfaction 
of the court admitting any alien to citizenship 
that immediately preceding the date of his appli- 
cation he has resided continuously within the 
United States five years at least, and within 
the state or territory where such court is at 
the time held one year at least, and that during 
that time he has behaved as a man of good moral 
character, attached to the principles of the consti- 
tution. In addition to the oath of the applicant, 
the testimony of at least two witnesses, citizens 
of the United States, as to the facts of residence, 
moral character and attachment to the principles 
of the constitution shall be required. 

5. He must renounce any hereditary title or 
order of nobility which he may possess. 

6._ When any alien, who has declared his inten- 
tion, dies before he is actually naturalized the 
widow and minor children may, by complying 
with the other provisions of the act, be natural- 
ized without making any declaration of intention. 

Immediately after the filing of the petition the 
clerk of the court shall give notice thereof by 
posting in a public place the name, nativity and 
residence of the alien, the date and place of his 
arrival in the United States and the date for the 
final hearing of his petition and the names of the 
witnesses whom the applicant expects to summon 
in his behalf. Petitions for naturalization may 
be filed at any time, but final action thereon shall 
be had only on stated days and in no case until 
at least ninety days have elapsed after the filing 
of the petition. No person shall be naturalized 
within thirty days preceding a general election 
within the territorial jurisdiction of the court. 

No person who disbelieves in or who is opposed 
to organized government, or who is a member of 
or affiliated with any organization entertaining 
and teaching such disbelief in or opposition to or- 
ganized government, or who advocates or teaches 
the duty, necessity or propriety of the unlawful 
assaulting or killing of any officer or officers of 
the government of the United States, or of any 
other organized government, because of his or 
their official character, or who is a polygamJst. 
shall be naturalized. 

No alien shall hereafter be naturalized or ad- 
mitted as a citizen of the United States \vho 
cannot speak the English language. This require- 
ment does not apply to those physically unable 
to comply with it: or to those making homestead 
entries upon the public lands of the United States.
