Two Sides to the Tariff.

To hear some people talk we would
think that the tariff reduction to
which the Democratic party is pledg-
ed was simply and solely blow at
capitalistic monopoly In the interest
of the downirodden workingman.
Well. the employees OF ten of the
largest pocketknife factories in the
United States met the other day at
Newburgh. n. Y. and arranged to
send committee to Washington to
demand that the present tariff on
pocketknives be maintained They
Insist that their present wages de
pend upon maintaining the present
tariff and state that there isn't cut
lery concern In England. Germany
and France that is not preparing 20
send it's goods to this country in case
the tariff is reduced
Apparently the cutters OF this coun-
try see two sides to the tariff ques-
tion and are not especially anxious for
blow TO be dealt at oapitalistic
monopoly.

DESTROYING THE NAVY
DEMOCRATIC POLICY THREATENS
SEA POWER OF COUNTRY.
Refusal to Build Battleships to Take
the Place Of Those Rendered OBJ
solete by Time Can Mean Only
That One Thing.

Addressing the Navy league OF the
United States, Franklin ID. Roosevelt.
assistant secretary of the navy. de-
clared for an efficient navy. large and
powerful enough to maintain the ma
tons prestige. His announcement
was accepted as representing the
views of the White House and of the
Democratic party In control OF the
government.
Well, If the Democratic government
does desire an adequate navy. is 1t 60
ing to try to get 1t by pursuing the
scrap-heap policy Of the Democratic
house of representatives in the last
session? We say scrap-heap policy.
because it is a scrap-heap policy. ana
nothing but scrap-heap policy, to
fail to build more first-class battle
ships either retired from year to year
as out of date or not classed as ade-
quate fighting machines.
Surely there can be little doubt
that the Democratic policy OF one bat
tleship a year would soon destroy not
only the comparative efficiency OF the
United States navy. but the compara-
tive existence Of the American sea
power.

Democratic RESPONSIBILITY.

The Democratic house was not en-
tirely responsible for the appropria-
tions OF the late congress. which ex-
ceed those OF any other congress.
The senate was Republican. But the
house was certainly responsible in
large part.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, chairman of the ap-
propriations committee. says that the
expansion OF the country requires in
creasing appropriations. OF course.
that is true. 1t does not necessarily
follow, however, that the expansion
of the country justifies all the appro-
priations that are made. This excuse
that the growth of the country jusu-
fed billion dollar congress recently.
is the one that the Republicans have
been making all along. The Demo
Gratis have denied that 1t was sufii-
cient justification. But II is now to
be made by the Democrats II was
good for the Republicans, and the
Democrats were not justified in re-
jecting 1t. We must have n single
standard for both parties. The Dem
ocrats have got either to economic
or to cease talking about Republican
| extravaganza.

State Bank Matter

A LOT of time, money and news
paper space has been wasted or the
State Bank middle the past few
years. 1t is undeniable that a lot OF
people who did not lose a cent have
taken the keenest interest i'll this
bank failure, and the efforts OF the
Receiver to put some money back
into the hands of the depositors have
been handicapped. Those who have
hampered the movements have kept
the Receiver in law suits. i'll bicker
ings. and have prevented the carry
ing out of the business as it should
have been, to a certain extent.
The question of the salary allow
ed the Receiver has been settled by
ion of the Judge was long delayed
and should, many believe, have been
rendered much earlier in the affairs.
Then other court matters have been
determined and adjusted. The di-
rectors paid a specified compromise
sum. 1t was distributed to the de
positors. 1t was like water in a
l.drouth. as it came when there was
little other coin in sight. Other ne
g%otiations were on, which by law
suits and happenings, have to a GER
tain extent been retarded. 1t has all
cost the depositors money and no
good has resulted to date.
1t is evident that there is a wheel
within a wheel in this State Bank
matter. 1t seems that the Tonopah
people, certain of them, want the
CONTROL of this affair, and for reaS-
ons well known to them. Several eff
forts, in different way. have been
made to dethrone the appointed Re
c%eiver, mainly to get the affairs in the
southland. They failed before the
courts and the District Judge.
On top of this a Legislative act was
passed to further crumble the cred
its and it is having its desired effect.
This investigation proposition went
through the legislature at the insti-
CATION of those directly interested,
and not from the wishes of the de
positors. 1t is known that certain
parties wished some time ago to get
control of properties. The efforts
failed and Legislative action followed
1t does no appear to those who have
watched the game that any Of the
moves are in the interests OF the de
positors, but in the interest of out
siders who would handle certain OF
the affairs of the institution for their
own benefit.
Now comes another move. 1t IS
proposed to circulate a petition, also
at the instigation of the same inter
ested parties. to GUST the present Re
celver and appoint a new one While
it is doubtful if the depositors, who

nonsense, yet such a scheme is
brewing. 1t will then be up to Judge
Langan to take a stand. If his Re
ceiver is doing his duty, and he IS
entitled TO the salary that the Judge
has allowed, it would seem that the
Judge would take a firm hand, would
bring this matter to an issue and
send the schemers about their bust
ness. 1t is a strict business propo-
s%sition.
For certain reasons Receiver Frank
Wildes was not to the liking OF the
lonopah parties on the inside from
the start and the were much inter
ested in the appointment Of a Re
c%eiver.
No man or set of men can work to
advantage with a lot of chickering's,
happenings and legal gnarls about
them. If they are to bring a brok-
en- thread to gether they must not be
Handicapped with a lot OF other trout
bles. Either the present Receiver
must given a free hand to handle the
muddled affairs as his business juds-
ment warrants, or else he will make
a Door showing.
Just why a new man from the
south is needed to to guide the fallen
wreck is a question that is making
some Of the big depositors take no
tice. The Appeal has nothing in
common with the Receiver. has no
dip IN the treasury and has no differ
ences either way, but as a matter of
sound sense it fails to see why the
Nye County section needs a hand in
an affair that cost Carson as dearly
as any other section in Nevada.
An investigation was ordered. In
order to make a case to work on
charges had to be made against the
present Receiver, but making chargcs
and proving them to be true are en-
tirely different propositions.
There has been too much ham
any good, and the sooner it is elm
mated thebetter it will be or the de-
p%ositors. The muddle is and was bad
enough. but this sort OF strife is not
adding any dollars to the deposit
ors' accounts and a great many OF
them are beginning to see it that way.
