likely to safeguard his own blood

refrains because his own head is in

but by the clear-headed intelligence
of the western world he is regarded
the blacklist heart and most dan

THAT HUMOROUS
OLD TARIFF BILL.

There are two things that can be
said for the American Protective
Tariff League-the organization
never sleeps and it has a sense OF
humor If it is possible for an or
ganization to possess humor. The
league works 365 days in the year,
366 during leap year, and the night
is the same as the day. 1t is for
work, for the stirring up OF more
sentiment for high tariff. 1t goes
after the boys, the young men about
to become voters, and puts its liter
ature in their possession. Cards
are even now being sent out ask
Ing the friends of the league 70

Their high sounding literature, with
the names OF prominent men thrust
into ones sight, and the apparen,
vital necessity of high protection
for the prosperity of this country
act on the youthful mind with a
telling force. The boy becomes
a man with the idea ingrained IN
him that protection is a necessity
and although he finds prosperity
not as prosperous as had been taught
in his youth If he is not thinker
the cause of his burden Is NOT ap-
parent. The tariff league is work
ing and undoubtedly its work has
much force,
But the league is almost as funny
as IL is busy. Its quaint bit OF
humor is found in the very begin
ming of the principles of the league.
This reads tThe object of the Amer
lean Protective Tariff league IS, by

products, to protect American Ia.
bor, whether agricultural, manufac-
turing, mining or commercial,
against the. competition of low-pric-
ed labor Ia foreign countries. And
then after solemnly parading that
as its chef article of faith the
league works for the highest duties
possible Cd anything and every
thing. The leaders in the league
are all manufacturers and very
wealthy men and yet with the aver
age very wealthy mans disregard
for the laboring man they think
only of the latter. Their dreams
are disturbed at night for fear the
Iaboring man won't get high enough
wages. That is the humor of 1t
all. The nice sleek, fat capitals,
worrying about his neighbor, the
poor working man. Doubtless the
perpetrators of this joke enjoy 1t
hugely. 1t is doubtful II the vic
Tins do.
II is wonderful how long this old
cry Of Elow tariff and low wages"
has been worked. In the beginning
ii contained some virtue but when
vast robberies are carried on under
its cloak the time has come to cal
a halt. A tariff with a diferential
allowing fair profits and decent
wages no one objects TO seriously.
II is when the tariff Is raised so
high the manufacturer Or capitalist
gets all the profit of the advance
that the big steal comes In. If man

Columbus, o., April 21-Since the

represent the present administration.
Here is an example eGovernor
Harmon wanted taxation reform
and he got it in the bill to APP
praise real estate quadrennially. :"
In like manner tine Mooney bill
TO submit to a vote of the people
in 1910 the proposition to cali .
constitutional convention to draft q
new state constitution, is pointed
out as a step toward taxation re-
form because such convention
would give an able and represen-
tative body of mep opportunity to
discuss the great subject Of taxa
ton in an intelligent manner and
would give the state a system that
would be fairly popular.
All such talk is the merest twad-
die, for which there Is not even O
shadow of foundation, as can cas-
lily be proven
TO begin with, the governor die
not ask for either OF these meas
ures, nor does either of them reach
or even approach the kind of taxa
tion reform he urged in his inaug
ural address and messages to tn,
legislature. Both of these meas
umes pertain to something to b,
done in the fut ure.

and stated in plain language to tn,
legislature, was to have sometnIni
done right away to meet the imme
dlate needs OF the state on account
of a heavy falling of or revenues

Neither quadrennlal appralsement
OF real estate nor constitutional

II is true that Governor Hnrmol
signed both these measures. HI
did so that the purposes for which
the Mooney constitutional conven
ton bill and the Rathburn quac
ennial appraisement bill were pass
ed may have opportunity TO bt
worked out. BY approving these
bills, however, Governor Harmon
did not signify that he accepted
them in full satisfaction of wha
he recommended. He knew thes,
bills were passed when he sent II
bis special message at the begln
ming of the last day of the session
to urge that the needed action b;
taken before adjournment else re
