A Democratic Message

A Democratic Message
President Wilson'S first mes
sage to congress is Thoroughly
democratic. Like most of Mr..
Wilson'S writings it will bear re-
reading. Under the circum-
stances it must be regarded as a
great public paper. This is so
because it displays wisdom in its
devotion to one subject : the
tariff; and for the further reason
that it deals with that subject in
the frank and thorough fashion
that has already come to be ac-
cepted as the Wilson character
istic.
There is, first, the recognition
of the duty laid upon the party
in power at the recent election
the duty of doing something that
shall actually give the people re-
lief. The program suggested is
not an abnormal one. On the
contrary, it is an effort to restore
harmony in our fiscal affairs.
There have been radical changes
in the conditions of our economic
life during the last generation,
but, in the language Of the pre-
sident- and this paragraph
should be held firmly before the
eyes of those who object to tariff
changes the language of the
president: while the whole
face and method of our indust-
rial and commercial life were
being changed beyond recogni-
ton the tariff schedules have
remained what they were before
the change began, or have moved
in the direction they were given
when no large circumstance of
our industrial development was
what it is today. Our task is to
square them with the actual
facts. The sooner that is done
the sooner we shall escape from
suffering from the facts and the
sooner our men Of business will
be free to thrive by the law of
nature (the nature of free busi-
ness) instead of by the law of
legislation and artificial arrange
ment. "
There is here no apology to
the system that stands today
frankly for plunder where a
generation ago its advocates hon
estly regarded it as patriotic.
According to the president it is
now direct patronage of the
government" for the private in
dustries of the country which
were once merely to be pro
tected." In the building of our
tariff schedules the thought up
permost in the builders minds
has been ito give each group of
manufacturers or producers what
thew themselves thought that
they reeded in order to maintain
a practically exclusive market a.
gainst the rest. of, the world"

retention of the old system. We
were told that the caucus was
the place where loyal party men
met to formulate party policies.
and we were warned that 'the
enemy would be told of our plans
if the people were admitted to
the gallaries. The supporters of
the new order replied that po-
litical party should have NO Sc
cRETs. They argued that we
were public servants and that we
should not resent the presence OF
our employers while we were
doing our work. The arrange
ment finally agreed to was in the
nature of compromise, All i'm
portant motions and resolutions
are to be made public and 25 per
cent of those attending the eau
Gus may force record making
roll call which will also be given
to the press. That's at least a
step in the right direction. |

way in the near future.

cent of those attending the eau
Gus may force record making
roll call which will also be given
to the press. That's at least a
step in the right direction. I
think we will go the rest of the
way in the near future.
AS l stated last week, the
House is standing by the Presi-
dent. The Democratic majority
lis putting in full eight hours a
day on the tariff bill. Every
schedule is being scrutinized and
an average cut of one-third is
being made in the rates. The
necessaries of life are being
slashed even more. while the
burden of maintaining the gov
ernment is being gradually
shifted to the backs of those who
are most capable Of bearing it.
The trusts still hope that the
Senate will prove their sword and
buckler but the Senators are
hearing from the people and are
showing signs of weakening.
No one who is in touch with
public sentiment can doubt that
the American people indorse the
position of the President and the
House. Now that Senators are
to be elected just like other pub.
lie servants it behooves the oc-
cupants of the upper chamber to
hesitate before they defy an a.
reused public sentiment.
While the beneficiaries of the
tariff are predicting an Industrial
depression, and possibly panic,
as the direct result of the revision
of the tariff, it is we'll for US to
recall a we'll established histor-
ical fact:
None of our great panics can
be traced to changes in the tariff.
Our Republican friends would
have us believe that a protective
tariff is sort of ARK of the COW
ENANT and that when the people
place sacrilegious hands on it
they are punished with hard
times and, when they bow down
and worship it they are rewarded
with good times. The fact is
that in all the history of our
country the tariff has had little
or nothing to do with good times
or bad times.
The panic of 1893 illustrates
the point. So far as Colorado
and the West were concerned
the panic was directly tracable
10 the closing of the mints to
silver. The Republicans pre-
sistently ignore the fact and at
tribute the panic to the Wilson
tariff bill, but the Wilson bill
latter German and the other
Democratic traitors got through
with it in the Senate.was so
weak it would not have affected
the health of a sick cat. In ad-
dition the bill was not passed
until more than a year after the

Federal Cooperation for Good Roads

Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture says that the state
and federal governments should work
together for highway Improvement in
order that large proportion of the
money annually spent for road con-
struction may not be wasted.
In his own department the office of
public roads has been demonstrating
the value of proper road building by
the. construction of certain object
lesson roads, and the forest service is
carrying out his idea of national and
state cooperation in road building. The
law requires that 10 per cent of the
gross receipts from the national for
ests shall be spent in the states in
which the forests are situated. This
money is expended for road improve
ment under direct control of the sec
rotary of agriculture.
The amount appropriated under this
act, based on the receipts of the ma
tional forests for the fiscal year end
! ing June 80, 1913, is $234,63S.6s. From
the 1912 receipts for this 10 per cent
road item, there is an additional $134,
s31.10, which is still available.
In administering the 10 per cent
road fund, forest officers charged with
the actual plans and expenditures In
the neighborhood of their forests have
in almost all cases, secured an equa
or larger cooperative fund from state

said of him he did after election pre-
cisely what he promised the people
before election he would do.
Campaign after campaign the poll
ticians have been promising the peo-
pie to do certain specific things, each
time forgetting the promises as soon
as they we're safely elected, pretend
ing that the people had misunderstood
their platform or had placed wrong
construction on their statements from
the stump.
Things had come to pass where the
masses of the people had begun to
lose all confidence in platforms and
election promises. They considered
them a joke. In the course of my cam
paign for congress last fall, while
meeting hundreds of voters every day
and having the opportunity Of talking
to them and learning their sentiments,
l could not help but be impressed by
the lack of confidence the average
man seemed to have in the platform
promises of all parties. The average
man appeared to feel 1t made little
difference what promises the various
political platforms contained, because
the party promising the reforms
would not carry them out even If it
was successful.
At the very outset of my campaign
