At ten o'clock Mrs. Chedsoye was
ready for her pillow. She slept fitfnily;

"sTARvlNG", THE TARlFF T eoARD'

The democratic majority IN tne
house of representatives last nlgnt
PASSED the iron and steel tariff re-
vision bill after defeating motion 10
recommit the bill to the committee
with instructions to hold it until the
tariff commission reports on It's pend
ing investigation of the metal
schedule. In taking this action the
house played politics and did not dis
play craftsmanship. The appointment
of the tariff commission and the de-
cision to base future revisions OF the
tariff on Investigations made by this
non.partisan body marked long step
forward in the. solution of the tariff
question. There was popular demand
for some action that would take the
tariff out Of politics and give congress
a hasis Of fact upon which to base re-
visions OF the tariff. The democratic
house sees tit to disregard this COM
mission and is proceeding to rip up
the tariff schedules Unfortunately.
They 60 further and threaten the ex-
istence of this tariff board by relus-
ing to make an appropriation to con-
tinue It's work. BY persisting IN this
course the democratic house leaders
will lose some of their strong sup
porters. An indication Of this is given
by the Saturday Evening Post, paper
that Is pronounced advocate of Tree
trade. The Post serves notice on the
house that it cannot afford to "starve'
out the tariff board in the following
editorial:
The democratic house cannot afford
to starve the tariff board. It should,
on the contrary, support it literally.
The country has had more than
enough of superficial, partisan. ex-
parte tariff investigation. It wants
something different-a comprehe ensive,
disinterested, intelligent, inquiry into
the important facts. There is no good
reason to doubt that the tariff board
is willing and able to supply this want.
No such inquiry was ever before un-
dertaken in this country To organize
it's staff and map out the groundwork
cost the board months of time and a
great deal of money. 1t is now in good
running order and, as must always be
the case with every similar body, 1t
gains in efficiency with experience To
check the board now would mean to
throw away, in good part, the time,
effort aNd mssey that have been ex-

ping out the ground to be done over
again at some later day; for il this
tariff board doesn't do it some future
tariff board will. The country will not
be content until it has tariff inquiry
of this scope and nature.
Congress, of course, is not in the
least bound by the boards conclusions
In the woodpulp and wool reports the
board presents a body Of facts that are
above the suspicion Of party bias. Diff.
ferent conclusions may be derived
from these facts, according to the
tariff leanings Of the concluder; but
there is a basis Of fact to begin with
No. one can attack the board without
giving occasion for suspicion that
he prefers conclusions first and facts
afterward.

It is doubtful if the convention of
the United Mine Workers, in passing
favorably on resolution calling for
the government ownership of in
dustries, fully considered what the re
suit of such ownership would be to
the men employed in such industries.
Government ownership of industries
takes away from the young people en-
ployed in such work the possibilities
of advancement. No one ever heard of
a man working up from mail carrier
to postmaster The most, of the rail-
road officials in this country started at
the bottom of the ladder and worked
up If the government owned the rail-
roads man who started as switch
man, or brakeman, or telegraph
operator, would remain in the same
position unless he quit the business.

An OLD STORY Boes UP~

II few wears ago 1t was the pidS'AS
n Iowa for cheap politicians to 60 up
and down the state declaring that inc
railroads owned the newspapers,
These politicians sometimes expresseu

owned the railroads. These statements
we're so ridiculously false that tne
newspapers properly ignored them any

statements they changed their tune.

There were intimations after the
confessions of the McNamaras that
the Los Angeles authorities intended
dropping the Investigation of the jury
|bribing that contributed to clearing
up the dynamiting cases, but the in
dictments just returned show that this
matter will be sifted to the bottom.
It is well that this is so. Every angle
|of the dynamiting cases should be
|probed to the bottom, the entire rani'
fications of the plots traced to their
source. Only the McNamaras have
been punished, and manifestly they
could only have been part Of the
plot, The men who aided them in
planning the explosions, the men who
appropriated the money for this. pur-
pose and the tools who aided in the
hundred or more dynamite Jobs
should he traced down and punished.
It is as important that the men who
had part in the attempts to bribe the
jury at Los Angeles in the interest of
the McNamaras should be punished.
