THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1910 COMPILED BY JAMES LANGLAND, M. A. ISSUED BY THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS COMPANY [Copyright, 1909, by The Chicago Daily News Co.] PREFACE. 6104 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 comparison also is made between the Payne-Aldrich and the Dingley tariff acts, though the changes in classification and the substitution 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 volume with additions, corrections and changes intended to increase their value or to bring them down to date as nearly as possible.
