Administrators g Program.

Retention of the import duty on SD
tear. and extension of the "war emer'
lsency" tax beyond December 81. are
..2hs only two revenue measures de-
lcided upon by the administration.
In an official announcement from the
peasury department Secretary Nc
LAdoo states that these two measures
win be recommended to congress at
she opening Of the session.
| Just what, If any, additional meas
;ures will be taken, has not been de-
Itermined by the administration.
Though Secretary McAdoo and other
advisers have consistently frowned
upon a bond issue, it is possible that
an Issue Of Panama canal bonds win
he made to finance the army and navy
ifn the preparedness program. and kept
as separate transaction, leaving the
sordinary receipts to care for ordinary
disbursements.
Secretary McAdoo will recommend
that the free sugar provision Of the
Underwood bill, which places
sugar on the free list May 1, 1916, be
withdrawn for several years. and that
the emergency tax be continued until
the close of the war in Europe.

MORE THAN NORMAL
'SteeI-Making Industry Shows
Gratifying Increase.
May Be Taken to Mean Prosperous
Activity for other Occupations
Confidence About All That Is
Now Needed.

There was a significant item in the
business news the other day. 1t was
the statement of leading steel trade
journal that this country's steel
making capacity for the present
has been practically reached, and that
buyers who omitted to do their shop
ping in that line early will have to
wait their turn some time next year.
The significance Of this item lies in
the basic character of the industry
whose services have been bespoken
for months to come. This is the age
of steel, and when that industry's
plants and workers are thus fully en-
ployed it is because the materials they
supply are wanted and in active de-
mand by a thousand other lines OF
industry.
The crops, the steel trade and the
money market-these are the recog
nized markers OF conditions that mean
prosperous activity for all other oc-
cupations ministering to the vital
needs of life as distinguished from its
luxuries and ornaments. When their
indications are favorable we know
that general prosperity is at least at
the door waiting to come in.
Nor may these signs be dismissed
as mere hectic fushes with the re-
mark WAR orders!" Such comments
ere superficial. There is demand for
the tools of destruction from warning
Europe. But there is also a rising
and swelling demand for the materials
and tools of construction here at
home.
An the American people seem to
need is just little more calm con-
fidence in their destiny and In their
ability to cross bridges when they
come to them. and a little more reso-
luton to shut their ears to partisan
clamors and to make hay while the
sun is shining with hard-headed bust.
ness judgment, for the sea Of pros
perity to rise to full tide and float to
fortune all who are prompt, energetic
and bold.

PASS AROUND THE BENEFITS
Policy of Protection Should Be Made
of Value to Worker as Well
as Employer.

The boosters Of protective tariff
should be forced to make good their
promises Of it's benefits to laborer and
consumer, says the New Republic.
"Let us assume that the representa-
tive heads Of a great industry appear
before the committee on ways and
means Tor before tariff commission
If the future grants us this boon1 to
ask for a specified increase in Gus
toms duties. After listening benevo.
lently to the recital by these business
men Of their present hardships and
their hopes of betterment under high
er protection, why should the chair
man not ask them for definite state
ment of the ameliorations which in
creased tariff rates would enable them
to make in the condition Of their en-
ployers?
"The appearance at this juncture be-
fore the committee Of representative
workers invited from every branch of
the industry under consideration
would give desirable concreteness to
the discussion. In the end, the grant
of higher duties could be made con-
ditional upon definite minimum wage
standards, or at least the establish
ment Of regional wage boards empow-
cred to determine minimum wages.
Similarly, certain standards regarding
hours of labor, workmen's compensa-
tion, arbitration of Industrial disputes,
safeguarding dangerous machinery,
and Che like, might be stipulated.
Women workers could be guaran-
teed conditions of labor that would
preserve them for their future func-
tions as wives and mothers. There
would seem to be no reason whatever
for the employment of children of ten
der years in industries enjoying the
special favors of government, and any
Industry which sought higher tariff
rates without cleansing its hands in
this regard, or pledging such cleans
ing within a short period, should be
forced out of the committee room
without ceremony"

|PARTY's RECORD BAD
country's Revenues Wasted by
the Republicans.
Millions Thrown Away on "Pork." and
Vet Leaders Presume to Advise
Democrats as to Proper Method
of National Defense.

National defense is not partisan
matter. but it is just as well to say
right now that the administration ana
the Democratic majority in both
houses of congress would do well to
pay scaht attention to Republican
icounsels.
The present comparative helpless
ness of the United States is directly
and specifically the result Of Republi-
can blindness, Republican carelessness
and Republican pork"
The Republican party had absolute
control of the nations affairs for SIX
teen years. It managed so well that
at the end of that time the trained re-
serve Of the United States army con-
sisted of sixteen men. It saw the Span.
fish war increase our responsibilities
and difficulties at least tenfold, yet
was content with an army less than
four times as great as had sufdced dur
ing our previous isolation, while our
fleet takes lower rank among the
nayies of the world today than 1t did
fin 1898.
Through all those sixteen years. In
spite Of repeated warnings, the Re
publican party. was spending enormous
sums on pork" putting $5,Oo0.ooo into
n single fort" on the bleak, inacces-
!sfble plains of Wyoming for the ben
ieht of Senator Warren; building navy
yards in Maine that no battleship
Icnuld reach, for. the benefit of Senator
Hale; wasting the nations money on
.every side. And yet this is the party
which comes forward now and claims
% monopoly Of wisdom in the matter
tnf national defense!
Such impudence is sublime. but not
convincing. President Wilson and the
Democratic majority in congress can
get all the advice they need from
Grained experts in the army and navy.
They do not need any counsel from
Senator Warren, Reed Smoot, Gussie
Gardner, OF any other Republican

Poor Policy to Advocate.

The trade balance in favor Of this
country for the month of September
lis S146.343,919, or at the rate of about
81 ,760. .oo0. 900 per year. Such COM
lmerce is too onesided to be healthy.
England and France already have be-
gum paying with bonds for supplies
(which in ordinary times they would
nay for with goods. We need larger
imports to keep exchange steady. to
make permanent trade.
Yet this is the time which RepnDli-
can craftsmanship" chooses as appro-
ipriate to raise the tariff and cut down
still further our already too scanty
imports!
The party which advances scheme
like that must be hard pressed for an
issue.
