An Unfortunate Example

To a young man who stood
smoking a cigar the other day
there approached the elderly
ard impertinent reformer of
immemorial legend.
"How many cigars doyou smoke
a day." asked the meddler.
"Three," answered the young
man, as patiently as he could.
GLOW much do you pay for
them?"

the smoker.

The Auto Tax

Burlington Hawkeye: And
now the state is going to tax
the autos and there will be no
local tax of any kind on ma
chimes And the money is to
be used for the purpose of i'm
proving the roads of the state.
1t will be but a drop in the
bucket. But it may help some.
That is, if the drop ever gets
into the bucket. Perhaps there
will be a couple Of dozen law
makers in the next general as.
sembly who will have. a. good
place to put that auto tax
money, and it will be the story
of the hunters license fund
over again. There was talk of
game farms and game pre-
serves, and 1t all dwindled
down to a few Hungarian
Ipheasants, who are liberated
here and there. The auto tax
might help to build a few main
roads through the state, and it
is to be presumed that they
would all start from Des
Moines, and some of them
might never get beyond the
limits of Polk county. Even
that would be better than SIM
ply frittering the sums away
and having nothing to show for
them.

IT costs $3.50 to protect American
labor 6 Scents worth in the manufacture
of print paper. And that's about the
proportion that will be found in sugar,
steel, cotton, and wool when the
tariff board investigates those indus
tries. There might have been time
when the system of protection" to
American labor was an actual benefit
to labor, but official investigation
shows that the protection is now
absorbed by the trusts. In view of
these figures, is it any wonder that the
manufacturers are making the fight
of their lives against reciprocity with

court ordering the dissolution of the
Standard Oil Co., which is the injec-
ton into the law by the court of the
word unreasonable" when referring
to the restraint of trade. The bad
feature consists in the fact that it
leaYes it with the court to say what
may be unreasonable. Our experience
teaches us that courts are very apt to
err in the use of their discretionary
powers, and to thus have the court
assume to be the only power to say
what shall be recognized as unreason
able leaves too much in the hands of
few men who, though they may be
honest in their intentions, are too
often governed by evidence introduc
ed on the subject, and that evidence
often restricted through the rules
of the game, thus not giving the court
all the facts and conditions for con
sidesation. And then there is the
great big chance of getting man on
the bench who at heart favors the
special interests, and we know to our
sorrow that we have great many of
the latter on the bench in the differ.
ent courts. Perhaps there is some
way to amend the antitrust law so as
to remove this objection. If there is
way, it should be done speedily.

of print paper.we have an illustration
of how little benefit the labor derives
from the tariff. In this instance labor
derives 6 cents per ton benefit out of
a duty of $3.50 per ton. The manu-
facturers then receive $3.50 per ton
out of the tariff as against 6 cents per
ton for labor. The newspapers of the
country in reality, are compelled to
contribute $3.50 per ton to the manu-
facturers as premium for using their
old and out of date machinery, while
they give the laboring man 6 cents
per ton Those protectionists who
stand for tariff on print paper must
change their position somewhat to be
consistent. They can no longer vote
for that duty under the pretence that
it is for the benefit of American labor.
They must either vote to abolish the
duty, or vote to retain it with a full
knowledge that they are voting for a
law that allows the trust to levy a
tribute of $3.50 on every ton of print
paper. There is every reason to believe
that an investigation into other lines of
manufacture will show about the same
proportion of benefit to labor.

CHARGING one great purpose of the
bill TO be to put news print papers
and wood pulp on the free list, Sena-
tor Crawford asked why this was so.
Replying to his own question, be said,
"Simply because the great newspapers
and the great magazines of the United
States as special class aggressive
ly organized for the purpose demand
it and propose to get it as special
privilege"
We are greatly disappointed in
Mr.. Crawford's stand on this matter,
and still more surprised in view of
the report of the tariff board, which
shows that So SO of the tariff on ton
of paper goes to the trust for each
and every 6 cents which goes to the
labor involved in its manufacture
Are the publishers asking special
privilege when they ask to be relieved
of the burden of contributing $3.50 to
the trust for the privilege of using a
ton of papera Or does Mr.. Crawford
consider that everybody else must
contribute to the trusts in the same
proportion, and that to be relieved
from this sextortion would be Especial
privilege" to the users of paper7

The tariff board has made report
of its investigation into the cost of
the manufacture OF print paper. 1t
finds that the cost of manufacture In
this country is $5.35 per ton more
than in Canada. This difference in
cost is almost entirely due to the
difference in the cost of woodpulp.
But the difference in the cost of wood
pulp is almost entirely due to another
tariff schedule which enables the
woodpulp men to boost their prices.
The tariff board finds that the differ
ence in the cost of labor is only 6
cents per ton. Another difference in
the cost of production is due to the
use of old and out of date machinery
in the United States, although the
machinery for the paper mills in
Cauada was made in this country.
The primary object of tariff, il has
always been claimed, is to protect

SENATOR CRAWFORD has gone on
record as against the reciprocity treaty
in speech of several hours in length.
His principal objection seems to be
that it does not go far enough, and
that it leaves too much protection to
some lines of manufacture. This
objection may be all right from a
political standpoint, but it is not
valid from the standpoint of states
manship. There is nothing in the
agreement that grants to the trusts
more than they are now receiving,
nor more than they will continue to
receive if the reciprocity treaty falls
by the wayside. Also, there is moth
ing to prevent the introduction of an
amendment to the tariff schedules
reducing the present rates if it is de-
sired. Such an amendment can as
easily be put through that way as by
tacking onto the reciprocity measure
Again, there is nothing to prevent the
repeal of the reciprocity agreement at
any time it should be found undesir-
able. There has been no objection
raised against the reciprocity treaty
that cannot be cured at any time con
gress sees fit to do SO.
