PROTECTION AND WAGES

care of Protection, the country would

other industries, 1t requires Protection

same Tariff reformers that there are

though small in comparison to the dye
industry which are suffering today
from the lack OF Protection due to the
Underwood Tariff New York Post.

Horse and mule colts suffer more
from heat and flies during July and
August OF their first year than at any
other time. During these two months
many plump, well developed. smooth
haired youngsters become thin, pot
bellied, listless and begin to show
staring coats. In this condition they
are likely to be weaned in September
and perhaps before they have be-
come thrifty again they are put on a
scant supply of dry winter feed. Such
set backs cut profits seriously.
Colts from work mares should be
kept in the barn or lots while their
mothers are in the field and should
not be turned In with their mothers
II the mares are warm Immediately
on their return from the field at noon
or in the evening. They should be
kept separate until the mothers are
thoroughly cooled.
The colts should be eating grain

OF July and II they have not yet learn.

equal parts of crushed oats, ground

Improved Living Conditions In This
Country safeauarded by the
High Tariff

Perhaps some Of the readers who
sincerely believe in the betterment
of social conditions will then see that
Protection rather than a low Tariff is
the basis Of better living conditions
for the masses. It probably will be
difficult for some of your readers who
have been fed on literature and car
toons depicting Protectionists as
bloated employers to believe that all
Protectionists are sincere advocates
of laws restricting the employment
Of child labor under the age of four
teen years. Many of us prefer to see
the minimum placed at sixteen years.
In addition to the age limit, many
of us desire that the state should
guard the physical and moral well be-
ing OF children as well as women in
workshops. We believe that such
legislation should be evolutionary but
not revolutionary; gradual, not imme'
diate; and national in scope, not only
state wide. In short, we believe that
labor should get steady employment
at wages higher than anywhere else
in the world that children and wom'
en- should not be allowed to work long
hours; that the workshop should be
clean and healthful and the machinery
safe: that the best working conditions
in the world be right here in our
country.
You must recognize the fact that
to do this manufacturers cannot com.
pete with the low priced labor Of Eu'
rope and the Orient unless they are
safeguarded by high Tariff. Some
of your readers may laugh cynically
and instance tn epay Of employees In
some so called Protected industries.
hut to those readers let US say that
Notwithstanding the statements maze
by irresponsible people, these so call
ed Protected industries were not suf'
| 6ciently Protected or that, on account
OF the intense domestic competition In
the industry itself, the employers
we're not able to pay the employees
sufficient wages to allow them to live
In the condition in which all fair
minded employers hope their EN-
ployees will be able to live.
II may be taken as an axiom that
where profits are large wages are
large and social living conditions i'm
proved, but 1t does not follow that
wages are large where profits are sup
posed to be large by Tariff reformers.
The war has disclosed the fact be-

Report On Pub|c.Land Oil Matters

Most people engaged in the oil bus.
mess in the States containing public
lands believe that the policy OF with
drawing oil lands from entry began in
1909 and that the first Withdrawals
were based on a desire to conserve
the country's natural resources. As a
matter Of fact, the first oil land with.

made in 1900 and were based on pc.

result there were three reservations
