TARIFF OUT OF POLITICS

An appeal by the National Chamber
of Commerce, representing the COM
mercial interests of practically every
large city in the United States, for the
removal of the tariff question from
perennial political agitation by the es-
adjustment Of a tariff commission in
dicates the growth of the commission
sentiment in influential quarters. If
anybody has right to demand that
the tariff question be handled on a
business basis, instead of being tossed
about like a political football, it is the
men actively interested in the coun-
try's commerce. Every unbiased bust
ness man will admit that the primary
evil of the tariff question is not in the
occasional shifting Of schedules, but
in the agitation and uncertainty which
almost constantly afflict business with
the tariff question subject of perpet-
ual political campaigning.
There will be vigorous opposition to
the proposal of a commission to handle
the tariff, of course; the politicians of
both parties will be loath to give up an
asset of such long standing; the inter
ests which have enjoyed fat protec-
ton subsidies will want to retain their
plums; the free traders will demand
the elimination of the tariff altogether
But the demand Of an organization like
the National Chamber Of Commerce
for q tariff commission ipd;cotac roo
clusively that common sense is making

est representations that have been
necessary.
America is today contending for the
rights of its citizens to travel and TO
traffic on the high seas. 1t is endeav-
oring to uphold the guarantees of in
ternationai law and the principles for
which the founders of this nation
fought England in 1872. President
Wilson, combating new conditions, is
applying the doctrines of humanity
TO cover the shortcomings of law and
has succeeded in winning admissions
from his opponents of the justice of
his contentious.
America is not yet assured that the
pledges which Germany and Austria
gave the United States have been VIC
lated, but President Wilson, prepar-
ing for contingencies that may arise,
has announced that he is prepared "to
act" should it develop that the Persia
was sunk by Teuton submarine. In
what action he may be constrained
TO take lie should have the support
Of the whole people, for it is certain
that his broad patriotism will not per-
nit him to a narrow decision.
Senators Gore, O'Gorman, Owen and
Hitchcock have failed to measure up
to their opportunities.

PENSIONS IN THE SOUTH.

Most people will be surprised that
the United States distributes annually
more than one-tenth of its pension ap-
preparations to citizens living in the
south. Last year more than fifteen
million dollars was thus distributed
OF this sum Kentucky veterans of the
Civil war received more than four mil
lion dollars. Ex-soldiers in Tennessee
received more than three million dol
lars. Pensioners in Arkansas and Vir-
ginia received nearly two million dol
lars each, while an average of about
to pensioners in Louisiana, Florida and
Mississippi. Even South Carolina has
living within its borders pensioners
who receive in the aggregate about
three hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars among 1900 veterans.
Many of the southern pensioners are
soldiers who located in the south soor
after the war and many are negroes
who served in some capacity in north,
.ern regiments and their records
proved them worthy of being placed or
the pension rolls.
The Civil war pension roll is fas
lessening in size. The money paid by
the government, south as well a!
north, as rule goes to those wht
need it and deserve it. They were
members of the volunteer army tina

A NEW INTERNATIONAL,
(San Francisco Bulletin

Most men are workingmen. Work
ingmen need not argue about war.
They need only refuse to be used in
war. That they are not yet prepared
to refuse is altogether too obvious. 1t
is quite possible that a carefully aimed
emotional appeal would sweep the
working classes even of the United
States into whole-hearted support Of
an unjust war. Yet 1t is perfectly
clear to all of us now. whether we are
workingmen or not, that the working
people of Europe are doing themselves,
collectively, CHASTITY harm, and that
their possible gains from war, whether
economic, political or moral, are at the
most an infinitesmal fraction of their
certain losses in all three of these
ways. They even know this them
selves. but they have been trained and
organized in such way that this
knowledge is OF no use to them.
To save himself from being caught
in the same trap the American work
lngman needs to take thought. He
needs to watch his governments mill
tary and naval preparations. He needs,
above all, to keep an eve on its foreign
policies, He should demand absolute
publicity of every detail of his govern
ment's diplomatic acts. If we go to do
police work in Haiti he should know
why; he should know it clear to the
bottom; he should know whether
American financial interests are con-
cerned in the matter and how they are
concerned. This implies two factors:
Frankness on the part Of the govern
ment, and resolute intelligent self-in-

BOOSTING PRICE OF GAS

Official government figures just made
public disclosed that in the face Of
rising prices of gasoline production
of crude petroleum during the last
year was greater than in 1914, al
though production was 'purposely re-
tarded as far as practicable" that re-
serve stocks Of crude petroleum now
being held in the country are the larg-
est ever recorded; and that exports
of gasoline, to which the rise in prices
frequently has been attributed, were
in the last 10 months of 1915 less than
the exports during the corresponding
period of the two years previous.
Both the department of justice and
the federal trade commissions are pre-
pairing to investigate gasoline prices.

On two meals day, one being milk,
