DISHONEST TARIFF TACTICS

The American Economist, official orr
gan of the American y, Protective
League, is making desperate effort
to- capitalize the effects Of. the war in
behalf of it's persistent propaganda in
favor of, a. high protective tariff. The
Economist declares that the nation is
in Financial straits, due to the opera
ton Of the Underwood tariff, y" and it
proceeds to offer series of prizes to
undergraduates in college who will
prepare the best articles connecting
the, Underwood tariff with depressed
conditions. The Economist processes
to believe that the, deficit in the Fed
era1 revenues is due chiefly if not sole
ly, to the operation of the present
tariff law.
The Economist is wasting good bait
in an effort to catch gudgeons if it
thinks the American people are to be
50 easily deceived on this phase Of
the tariff question. The Federal rev.
dutiable imports. The European war
put stop to most of the imports. The
revenues would not be measuraDly
larger if the tariff wall were high
enough to suit the taste Of the Ameri-
can Protective Tariff League.
Further tariff may be necessary.
The: people want an honest tariff,
whether it is high or low. The meas
ure of the schedules must eventually
be determined by the result Of the op-
Grafton of the Underwood tariff in
time Of peace, not in time Of war.
The war has practically abolished all
tariff acknowledgements Tribune

some OF the legislators against both
the Elwen and Dunn road laws. The
Elwefl law has not been taken advan-
tage Of in this territory, but in a num-
Der of places where it has been, they
are very favorable to it. There is no
doubt room for a betterment of the
Dunn road law, but any great change
in it before it has had a chance to
make good, would seem to be mis-
take. Many miles of excellent roads
have been built under these laws.
At the spring election, for the first
time in it's history, at least us Il city,
Little Falls will vote OH the liquor
license question. Previous to last year
cities OF this class were Unable to reg
lister their will on the liquor question,
this. action being made possible by an
act which passed the legislature Of
1913. TO this right, which previously
had been extended only to villages,
there can be no real valid objection.
The people, for that matter, should have
the right to express their opinion on
all matters that are Of general public
concern. There is no particular baro-
meter in the local situation whereby
to base the strength Of the antlsaloon
forces at this time, but that the tend
ency throughout the whole nation, as
we'll as throughout the world, is to-
ward the elimination of the liquor
traffic, is very evident, due in a great
degree to the actions Of many of those
in the business. While no doubt the
large majority Of those signino the pc
tition favor the abolition OF the sa-
loon, there are likely among them,
those who do not consider the particu-
lar question at issue, but believe it
proper to submit the matter to the
people. OF course, the number Of pc
titioners does not show the full
strength Of the movement and those
back Of it predict strong vote for
no-hcense. AS the proposition is new
to the local voter, he will give the mat
ter due consideration before he casts
his ballot.

Once Is Too Much.

The controversy between the Treas
ury Department at Washington and
the principal national bank of that
city may turn out to have grave i'm
portance in a political way. IT
crystallizes and makes concrete what
is likely 10 be the principal argument
against the Democratic Administra
ton, namely, that il is unreasonably
hostile-even vindictive--not merely
toward bad business nor even toward
big business. but actually toward bust
ness as such. The case is still before
the courts. and therefore is to be dis
cussed with some restraint, although
the obligations Of that restraint have
been waived somewhat by the frank
ness, even the explosiveness. with
which both parties to the case have
themselves rushed into print.-Col-

be remembered that about 10 years ago
there was a sudden descent on the
Penobscot bay scallop beds and Tor
a time everybody went after them.
and there seemed to be a good pros
pect that they would be entirely
stripped within q very short time. Four
years ago the scallop fishermen work
ed hard TO have the law changed to
have the Monroe Island beds closed
from April Il to Nov. i, and they be-
lieve that by doing this they secured
good profitable winter business. James
Donahue, the late fish commissioner
estimated its value at 31so.6oo year
The new law, however, rescinds all
that and makes it lawful to take the

them out Of the state.

Smoking Out" the Underwood Tariff

Smoking OUT the Underwood Tariff.
The Outlook recently published an
article on The High Cost Of Smoke"
which prompted E E. Gregg, of the
Federal Lumber Co, Of Pittsburgh. TO
write to the Outioek's editor as fol-
lows:
The accuracy Of your statements
can usually be relied upon, and am
willing to admit that this article was
Substantially correct as applied to con-
ditions in times past, but it cannot be
applied to present times.
Nothing like this is happening now,
due to the fact that there il no smoke
in Pittsburgh, and has not been since
March 4, 1918.
Your article. applied to conditions
Under the reign Of the G. O. p, was
very apropos In those times smoke
was issuing from every stack, pay
rolls were averaging approximately
sixteen million dollars every two
weeks, and, while the smoke may have
been detrimental in some respects. yet
we were enjoying the benefit Of these
pay-rolls.
Now, however, as always under
Democratic misrule. We have neithe'
smoke nor pay-rolls. True, the war is
making some business. without which
Pittsburgh would look like a white
washed cemetery.
Please write another story based
upon the High Cost Of No Smoke.
This is the condition in Pittsburgh to-
day
Give us the smoke We can erect
new buildings if we have the pay
rolls"
