LIGHT ON RUBBER TARIFF.
Loopholes In Senator Aorich's De-
Tense Regarding His Company.

Senator Aldrich'S defense of his rub
Der tariff is that his company does not
manufacture rubber goods His friend
Colonel Colts company does. however
In June, 1907, Colonel Colt said in his
annual report:
"a suggested consolidation with the
Continental Rubber company Ghe AL
drlch company was deemed by your di-
rectOrs to be nonadviSable in the pres
ent development of the 50 called me-
chanical process of grinding up the
shrubs producing the gum, which is
done extensively by the Continental
Rubber company. But that company
and the General Rubber company have
now agreed upon the terms of an ar
rangement which insures complete har-
mony and cooperation hereafter be-
tween the United States Rubber COM
pany and the Continental Rubber COM
pany and between those connected
with both companies"
This quotation from the article on
"The Tariff on Rubber" by Samuel M.
Evans, in Worlds Work for September,
explains how the tariff affects Mr..
Aldrich's own company through it's aid
to the General Rubber company
The main facts of this chapter of the
tariff Of special favors are. the article
in question continues:
First-A company headed by Sena-
tor Aldrich's friend, Colonel Colt, con-
trolls the manufacture of rubber goods,
and this company works in harmony
and cooperation with another monop-
olistic company which controls the i'm
portation Of crude rubber, and in this
second company Senator Aldrich Is
large stakeholder.
SecOnd-A tariff. therefore, which
would raise the price Of rubber manu-
features would have a large profit to
be divided between the two compa-
MES. Senator Aldrich wrote such a
tariff and had it passed.
Third.-The price on rubber went up.
The two companies have increased
their dividends, and the public Is pay
ing the bill-paying for excessive prof
Its made possible by a tariff written
by man in public Office which bene-
fits his own friends private interests.
In the words of Senator Bristow Of
Kansas:
"a further tribute is to be levied
upon every family in this republic for
the purpose Of piling up additional
millions in the Golfers Of the rubber
syndicate, the controlling force Of
which is the man who shaped the tariff
legislation. Has there ever been in
the history Of civilized government a
more shameless prostitution of official
power ?''-New York Journal of Com

DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED
New Tariff Board Useless; Only In
tended to Kill Lime


tended to Kill Time.
Many people are expecting that the
new tariff board will help to throw light
upon the necessity of the present high
schedules Let them not place their
expectations too high, however. The
tariff board was not intended to be any
thing but a powerless, useless thing
an empty device to appease the anger
Of the people. The tariff board has no
power to take testimony, administer
oaths or compel the production OF
books and documents. All such pow
ers were denied it in the conference
bill which finally passed the house.
Their function as there stated simply
is:
ITO secure information to assist the
president in the discharge Of the du.
ties imposed upon him by this section
and the officers Of the government In
the administration Of the customs
laws"
Narrow administrative functions are
all that are here meant. The last thing
in the minds Of the trainers OF the
present tariff was that their work
should be liable to disturbance by such
a tribunal as this. But it now suits
them to make the claim that the tariff
board is q real, live thing and that
they meant it to be so all along; hence
we hear Of Senator Lodge and others
proclaiI1ing that the old, corrupt idea
Of tariff legislation by log rolling meth
dds is past and that the new era OF
scientific revision based on expert evil
dence has set in. And President TART
has, by bold Interpretation of the law
and by securing an ample appropr1a
ton for expenses, succeeded in per
guading a section Of the public that tn,
tariff board means business.
Meanwhile let US not place our trust
in tariff boards created by high TART
advocates One great fact we do knoN
without their assiStance-that our pro
tected manufacturers are selling large
~ abroad and selling at lower price
than at home. That ought to be
enough for US. If they can compete
successfully abroad with manufacture
ers who are aot protected WY should
we continue to let them have protec-
ton?

then followed, unhampered even by
his arch enemy, FitZroy, who slipped
away to the stables three minutes after
the close of the conference. But he
was not even there when, along in the
spring, Mr.. and Mrs. Rawdon came
out for visit to DR.. Mayhem. Like
Rawdon, he had received his dis
charge. Unlike Rawdon, there was
serious objection to his re-enlistment.

1t was not until mid-May that the

Lowndes had hardly got away on the

him of Kelly's arrest and charged him

Then the storm held him. Not until
the fire night did he summon up cour-
age to sneak home. He had no money
left and could buy no more liquor. He
stole into Lanier's back door to return
the civilian suit and recover the caval-
ry blouse and trousers left hanging in
Rafferty's room. He could hear the
lieutenant moving about overhead. He
had to strike light. He struck sew

The sixth annual commence

The class as a whole has made

and are to be congratulated on

where in this issue.
Friday evening, May Goth, the
class presented their class play
Uncle or Nephew, which was
put on in a manner that won the
hearty applause of every member
of the large audience. The many
humorous and dramatic situa-
tions brought about by the SINH
larity in appearance of the 'un-
cle"and nephew. held the inter
estiof every one from the raising
of the curtain to it's last fall, and
these situations we're fully
brought out by the clever acting
ofthe members Of the cast. Lack
of space prevents US giving fur
ther mention Of each character.
Much credit is due to Rev. Wal

ner in which the play was staged,
Last Sunday evening the class
attended the Baccalaureate adj
dress which was delivered by
Rev. Wallace in the Congregation

The class motto, Rowing not

than a mere motto by the energy
and enthusiasm the class has put
into it's work and the city of Hope
is justly proud of the 1910 pro-
duct of it's schools.
