UNCLE SANS INCOME.
W.-The Tariff.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

| "T have changed my mind because all
the circumstances Of the world have
changed"
This was what President Wilson wrote
to Representative Claude Kitchin. major
fly leader Of the House. concerning a
tariff commission. The tariff has always
been a big issue in the United States.
and European conditions bring home to
all Of US the necessity Of looking it over
anew in the light Of new developments.
In our system Of government finance.
the tariff always occupies a position Of
pre-eminent interest, whether the sui sct
is. discussed from political, an economic
or fiscal viewpoint
Fiscally. every preconception of the
usefulness OF the tratn as a revenue pro-
Queer has been upset by the war. No
matter whether high duties will produce
more revenue. as some contend, or wheth-
err low duties, by encouraging greater i'm
ports. will produce the greater revenue.
as others assert. when the trade routes
Of the world are paralyzed and there are
no imports tariff revenues fail. whether
the duties levied he great or small.
Economically a REORGANIZATION is
necessary. because changed world cir
cumstances require a much broader &C
counting of the economic facts involv-
ed. There was time when higher
tariff. designed merely to keep out for
eign competition and foster home in
dustry.. was believed to be all that
could be desired by the economists.
Now. however. the American people are
face to face with a complete reorsani-
cation Of all the business of all the
world. In tariff making hereafter it
will be an absolute necessity for Amer
leans to consider not only the economic
effects of their tariffs upon their home
industries. but also upon foreign trade
conditions. This was foreshadowed in
the prophetic utterances of President
Mckinley nearly a score of years ago.
but until the actual melting of all the
worlds trade in the cauldron of war it
has been easy to ignore certain great
principles that now cannot be blinked.

plank in the progressive platform of
1912. and now. under the leadership of
the President, the democrats have also
taken up the same demand. Under the
circumstances, it would seem that the
esta blishment of a tariff commission
are many distinctly different things
that might be established under the
comprehensive name OF tariff COM
mission. 1t would be better to wait I'M
til Congress has acted before laying
any wagers.
When the commission is established
If 1t is-it does not follow that the
political content of the tariff disputa-
ton will be in any wise diminished.
There was a tariff commission back in
the days of President Arthur that re-
Congress and succeeded in having
about 10 per cent of them adopted.
There was tariff commission in the
time of President Taft which labored
nightly, but If 1t had any influence
toward taking the tariff out of politics
| 1t was not discernible to the naked eye
| of the Washington observer. So with
the next tariff commission. The tariff
gress. Congress is a political body.
And whenever Congress imposes tax
there is politics in the taxes, politics
in the discussion and politics in the
final action. whatever may have been
the constitution of the body that re-
ported the facts upon which the action
was based.
Tn 1915 the tariff brought in about
$2o5. 900. which is 27k per cent less
than the receipts for the preceding
year. 1t is also just little less than
half the amount of the internal reve-
nues; SO that the tariff is responsible
for about one-third of Uncle Sans in
come.
Ono way to increase this income. of
course is to raise the tarin duties or

Tby Congress. One Of these is the re

Both the other two methods involve
the establishment OF a tariff commits
sion. One, which is favored by those
whose views tend toward higher duties
and more complete protection, Is a
commission that would examine into
all the facts concerning the tariff. with
especial reference to ascertaining the
difference in the cost of production of
pa rticular commodities at home and
| abroad. and after digesting the facts
would report to Congress a complete
system of ia riff schedules scientifically
worked out.
The other plan, favored by those
whose tendency is to favor lower duties
and an approximation to a tariff for
| revenue only, is a tariff commission
which would gather all the facts at
fecting the tariff. not only with respect
to difference in the cost Of product
| abroad and at home. hut also with re-
spect to the influence of customs duties
on foreign trade. and would then re-
port the facts. without specific recon-
mendatiops for revising the schedules,
to Congress.

this tariff our receipts from the i'm

totaling more than fifteen millions.
Now. by repeating the law which would

SCHOOL HOUSE MOVED DOWN
STEEP HILL.

A rather spectacular piece of house
moving was accomplished in Los An
geles recently when the frame school
house, says Popular Mechanics, was
brought down from the top of a high
hill to a street which is 300 feet lower
than the buildings original site. The
last step in the descent was to lift the
structure over a four-foot retaining
wall and deposit it in the street. Ow-
ing to the lay of the land it was nee
essary to tilt the building at a sharp
angle to do this. but the task was fin
ishcd without mishap.
