TARIFF REVISION
THWARTED

The democrats do not intend RI
give the people any relief from
tariff taxation at this session of
Congress. They are passing
through the House bills revising
individual schedules which NAV
possibly squeeze through the SEN
ate with the aid of Republican
insurgents, but which are doomed
t. be vetoed by the president
hey know this. They know.
therefore, that their bills will
not result in any reduction of
duties collected on imports, which
is what the people really desire.
The democrats are keeping the
word Of promise to the ear and
breaking it to the hope
That their purpose is not to
reduce the tariff, but to play
politics with it, is made plain by
the manner in which they 90
about their work. Knowing that
the president is committed to
the policy of revision of each
schedule only after the facts re-
lating to that schedule have been
ascertained and reported by the
tariff board, they deliberately
sidestep the wool schedule, on
which such a report has been
made, and take up the steel sched-
ule, on which they have no such
report. Had they taken the
wool report as the basis of
bill and had it reached the presi-
dent and been vetoed by him,
the issue would be squarely join
ed between the rival policies of
protection and revenue only.
Each party would interpret the
facts reported by the tariff board
Ito fit it's own theory. Those facts
would be before the people as
guide to discussion and decision
between the two parties in the
campaign.
But the democrats do not wish
to give the voters an opportunity
ITO vote on the tariff issue in
the light of facts ascertained by
ia non-partisan board and of the
bills based on those facts by the
advocates of the rival policies.
They pigeonhole this impartial
statement of facts and build a
steel tariff on their own partisan
version of facts relating to the
steel industry. Knowing that this
bill will not become law, they
can safely slash duties without
mercy. They make much of

they want butter along about May /,
will have TO go TO market themselves
and try 10 outhid each other for the
small supply that will be left about
| that time.
There was never a more complete
famine in any article in the United
States as there now is In butter. "
Is so complete famine that most OF
us will be forced 10 kiss butter good
bye for the next three months.
What caused the butter famine
The commission men for one thing
Usually they buy butter in June for
from l5 10 90 cents a pound; they
store il and sell II in the winter for
from 26 TO so cents.
Last summer Mr. Farmer had the
whfphand. He wouldn't sell butter
for less than 20 cents. The commits
sion men. used 10 big profits in pre-
yious years. refused to buy butter for
storage at this price The result Is
that there Is no butter now. and there
will he very little fresh butter until
the first green grass appears in the
United States, which is in May in
Texas and Kansas.
When II comes TO high prices there
is a fine hair line, which the general
public won't pass. In sugar this fine
line is I cents q pound. When sugar
costs more than that the public won't
buy. During the sugar famine the
sugar trust did its utmost 10 keep
sugar down below 7 cents.
In butter this fine hair line is un-
known. Most commission men figure
ID at 40 cents a pound.
For many weeks the butter makers
al Elgin. ILL.,, did their best 10 keep
butter down below this mark. But
rich New York kept bidding up until
Al cents was reached, and the best
butter was going TO that place
AT last Elgin men were forced 10
get on the lid. For a-month they had
sat on butter volcano. The price
blew up cents at one jump and
passed the hair line mark of 40 cents.
tAa=@ark- where Mr. Common People
stop eating butter.
Now, Mr. Common People need not
be surprised if butter goes TO 90 cents
a pound.
