of the Cox administration, which

Now, it is decidedly interesting
to find that the State Tax Com

the politics of every "civil SER

that over 1850 of the 1866 were

The Tariff is Already the
Issue.
ISSUE.

No doubt the wish is father to
the thought of Democrats who in
the last few weeks have said the
Republicans would commit a ser
ious blunder if they insisted up
on making the tariff an issue in
the next campaign; that, in fact,
with the tariff question: at the
front. the Republican party would
be bound to lose.
These followers of Mr.. Wilson
must know that the tariff is al
ready an issue, and that any at
tempt to evade it would be futile.
Not only the men who voted the
Republican ticket in 1912, but
those who turned to the third
party candidate and thus made
possible the election of a Demo-
cratic president, believe that this
country must have a reasonably
protective tariff. There is rea-
son to believe that many Demo.
Gratis share this view. for disap-
poihtment over the operation of
the Underwood law is general.
The promise to lower the cost of
living by inviting a larger meas
ure of foreign competition has
not been kept. The voters have
not forgotten that the country
was prosperous under a genuine
ly protective tariff, and that a
change marked by decreasing
output of the products of Ameri-
can industry and serious condi-
tions Of unemployment became
apparent soon after the Demo
cratic tariff was put in operation.
The immediate outlook in GER
tain lines of production has been
made better by the war. which
has checked importations and
created an unusual demand for
articles that this country can
supply and which Europe is nc
longer able to provide in sufi.
cient quantities. But when peace
comes there will be revival OF
THE old competition and the need
of a protective tariff will be at
least as great as it was before
the war began. The tariff re.
vision issue will remain at the
front notwithstanding any eff.
forts that may be made by those
responsible for the enactment o1

the Underwood law to force il
into the background. The Cnly
way the Democrats in Congress
could weaken the popular de.
mand for the return of the party
of protection to power would be
by revising their own work ir

The Day Of Reckoning
Has Come.

ing majority in the Senate, Pres
ident Wilson took the oath OF
office March 4, 1918. With pro-
phetic eagerness he summoned
Congress in extra session month
later. With the exception of six
weeks of respite last fall the par
ty machinery has been in opera
ton ever since, grinding out eX-
perimental laws that affect every
phase of our social and CONNER
cial life.
What does a study of that rec
ord show?
1t discloses the fact that dur
ing that time the Democratic
Congress has enacted and the
Democratic president has signed
more crude, imperfect and nug9-
tory laws than ever W ere written
during the same length of time
by any American Congress. 1t
furnishes an indictment Of haste
and lack of legislative intelli-
gence that is hound to be humil-
iating to the party responsible.
That there has been tremen.
dous quantity of legislation can
not be denied. More than four
hundred public laws have been
placed upon the statute books by
the Democrats since they came
into power. These are designa-
ted public" because they ap-
propriate money for general pur-
poses or affect general law. In
addition to these, hundreds of
private bills have been passed.
Those who have closely OBJ
served the methods of legislation
used by the Democratic majority
are not surprised at the faulty re-
suits. The present administra-
ton has been admittedly notable,
even notorious, for it's steam rol
ler short cuts in enacting laws.
Every important bill passed has
been put through with small con-
sideration beyond that of party
expedience. AS soon as the Pres
ident proposed a law, then the
caucus approved it, the majority
rushed it through committees and
back to the President for his sig
nature, all with as little debate
as possible, and under iron clad
special rules that permitted no
chance for intelligent considera.
ton or amendment.
IL IS conceivable that a few
bills might he put through a leg
islative body in this way and e.
merge in perfect form. But to
use such methods indiscriminate-
| ly. as the Democratic Congress
has done. is practically to insure
the enactment of laws which fu-
ture Congresses must either re-
peal or spend many weeks to a.
mend. This is the task which
Democratic haste and lustfuI use
of a powerful majority has Gre
ated for future Congresses. Spe-
cifc examples of laundering will
not be enumerated in this article.
