TARIFF

n RESIDENT WOODROW WILSON
of Princeton in the North Amer
Il lean Review gives a scholar S
analytical view of tariff legislation. He
calls the Payne-Aldrich measure
a "make- believe" He says it is not a
settlement of the tariff question, but
is miscellaneously wrong in detail
and radically wrong in principle. 1t
disturbs more than it settles, and by
its very failure to settle forces the
tariff question forward into a new and
much more acute stage.
He goes to the root of the matter
when he says the Republican party is
old at the business of tariff making
and has established a business con-
stituency. It's leaders feel they must
satisfy that constituency. The business
of tariff-making grows more and more
complex, naturally comes to involve
a greater and greater complexity Of
interests.
Those who conduct it extend their
clientage from generation to gen.
GRAFTON, to make sure they have
may underlie tariff making and how
ever valid that principle may be,
however fundamental to the general
development and prosperity Of the
country, tariff schedules arranged for
protection are governmental favors.
Those who make them, though acting
for the nation, are the patrons of the
industries favored; they dispense the
largess of the government, and those
who receive the favors will be their
partisans and followers so long as the
favors continue.
President Wilson goes on to say:
"The relation of favor-dispensers and
avoided. The only thing that can be
avoided is the corrupting influence of
the relationship, and that can be
avoided only by very strong men. A
political party cannot withstand it for
many generations together; cannot,
mean, withstand the gradual corrup-
tion of its will-the temptation to
make use of the patronage it dis
penses for the perpetuation of the
power it derives from it, the unfailing
support at the elections of the wealth.
lest and most influential classes of
the country. Here in a protective
tariff are the entertainments of special
privilege, and every beneficiary of
them will, of course, crowd into them
on the day Of battle, determined to
keep his own. Shall man not defend
what he has?"
The chief difficulty in the way Of tar
iff reform, and of all reforms, is to
compel the gamers by existing condi-
tions to realize their gains are ill-got-
ten. Custom or habit is second ma
ture, and when a man is in the habit
of deriving from any source more in
come than is legitimately his, soon
er or later, if he should not be dis
turbeC, he will regard himself as the
rightful owner of that income, and in
some mysterious way will reason him
self into the belief it is honestly gained
No gain that is made at the expense
hurt and injury of a neighbor or by
his deprivations is honestly gained
but there are some human beings con-
stituted so peculiarly they think
black is white If it is sanctioned by Gus
tom. People who cannot see the light
or discehrn the right intuitively and
without coaching have our most sim
cere pity.

HARBOR IMPROVEMENT

CAPTAIN LOUIS HANSEN gave a
practical saltwater view Of San
" Pedro harbor before the City
Club, and his talk had that tang of the
sea that comes only from actual ex-
perience. Captain Hansen's testimony
as to the excellence of San Pedro har-
Dor is of great value. He pointed out
the improvement of San Pedro has
cost much less than that of various
foreign harbors of worldwide fame,
while the big harbor expenditures of
foreign cities have produced results
which far more than justified such ex-
penditures. 1t is a fair inference,
therefore, that the profits of the harbor
of Greater Los Angeles will be much
greater than of others which have cost
more. Any money expended for the
purpose of harbor improvement will be
in the nature of a very lucrative in
vestment
The most signal example of the re-
suits which came to a great city from
a display of pluck and prudence in
harbor expenditures is probably that
of Rotterdam, which spent S30,000,000
bond money on it's harbor. AND IN
CREASED ITS POPULATION 200 PER
CENT IN 40 YEARS. Since the in
crease of population of Greater Los An
geles is already phenomenal, it is GER
tain the consequences of harbor i'm
provement and the steady upbuilding
of a great commercial port at San
Pedro can have only one result, and
that will be to make Los Angeles the
greatest, most populous, most prosper
Gus city in the west, and one of the
giant cities" of the United States.

SOCIAL QUESTIONS

TN a recent review of the work of
H. G. Wells we find the following
a striking passage: "Mr. Wells is
the only novelist who with large and
democratic sympathies has perceived
that a civilization that is guided by
the Jerry-built ideals of an ignorant
democracy and of plutocratic cunning
is running counter to the laws of social
health No English-speaklng democ-
racy can be accused of ignorance in
the sense of illiteracy, therefore we
presume the critics language is used
with reference to the we'll known dis
like Of society at large to turn its at
tention to the study of social ques-
tions.
When these questions come in a po-
litical guise, such as primaries, which
have to do with the right of the peo-
pie to select their own candidates for
office as we'll as to elect them, then
they are accepted placidly as part of
the days work. But when separated
from the issues of the day and pre-
sented in concrete form, with direct ap-
peal to the people of the intelligent
nations of the world to investigate the
great laws governing the world and
ascertain for themselves some way of
amending conditions which are justly
described as unhealthy, then too often
the questions are Stunned or lodged
or put aside.
We hold the cure for conditions pro-
duced by F'plutocratic cunning" is an
instructed democracy. The people per-
ish for lack Of knowledge. Educate
them. Teach them the history of the
United States. Explain the causes and
consequences of the revolution. Tell
American citizens why they are Amer
leans. Show them present conditions
are not accidental, and neither can a
remedy be accidental. The drift away
from the first principles of American
ism must be stopped by a deliberate
return to the first principles of Amer
icanism. 1t is easier to drift than to
steer, row or sail. But it is the duty
of all educators and statesmen and cit
liens to steer, row and sail. So lend
a hand.

URGES OLD=AGE PENSIONS
BE GIVEN TO AMERICANS

SAN DIEGO, Oct. S-[Editor Her
add: Never in the history of
the American republic has the
nation realized and felt the need
of the old-age pension law as
in this modern age of the world. Some-
thing in the line of reform legislation
must be resorted TO. Every state in
the Union sees the need of the old-age
pension law in behalf of her American
born subjects who are homeless and
without visible means of support. The
elderly people bordering on to fifty are
not In demand to fill the wants of en-
ployers. 1t is the young men and
young women that employers want to
fill positions
England and other nations that have
the old-age pension law in force have
realized their duty as nations to legis-
late in behalf of their aged homeless.
This grand American republic must
speedily follow suit with her sister ma
tions on this important old-age pension
law. There Is no man or woman de-
sires to become an inmate of the
county poorhouse or hospital. They
should all be pensioned on the same
system as the war veterans.
Uncle Sam is rich enough to pension
his subjects each SIS per month.
