EARLE W. HODGES.

From the Glade Springs, Va. Videttel
The name appearing as the
caption OF this article is an un.
familiar one to many readers of the
VidettC, but there is a story OF pluck
and perseverance and achievement
connected with it that should prove
an inspiration to many young men
who read it and to Danish from
their minds the erroneous idea that
any particular advantages of pull
or wealth or extraordinary genius
are requisite 10 success 10 life.
II is no disparagement to his
qualifications for the high Office to
which he now aspires with such
brilliant propects for success to
say that Earle ". Hodges started
out in life with neither pull. wealth
or extraordinary genius, Pull and
wealth are mere temporary aids TO
success, which cannot be made per-
manent without more substantial
backing. and genius is an abnormal
ity as apt to lead to disaster as to
success. a..
At the time when the writer of
this article first knew Earle ".
Hodges, he was simply a clean,
healthy, normal Young man who
was looking for a job in printing
office. He was ambitious, it is true,
to do good work, and he had the
faculty oi making friends by the
simple formula Of showing himself
friendly.
Wanting job is an accomplish.
ment which all young men have, or
think they have, at some period in
life, and a large majority of them
DO, as did Earle Hodges on this
occasion, sooner or later get the job.
Too frequently, however, the SINH
larity ends there, for Earle Hodges,
having secured the job, made good
on it.
Getting a job is generally magni-
fed by Young men into the object
to be sought, an end to be attained.
when it is, in fact merely the means
to an end, and that end is making
good.
Earle Hodges made good, and
there naturally opened up to him,
greater opportunities. In a few
years, he was publishing a small
country weekly Of bis own, and con-
tinuing the practice Of making good.
somewhere along about this time,
without waiting for the accumula.
tion Of great worldly POSSESSIONS, he
had the wisdom to get married aud
the Judgment to select the right sort
of a wife. Starting together not
very far from the bottom of the
ladder those two have climbed it
hand in hand, the ideal condition
for a life partnership.
When next we heard Of Earle ".
Hodges, he was Secretary Of State
for Arkansas. No need to inquire
the intervening steps by which he
rose to that Office, for the secret oft
all was learned back in the days
when he started out by making
good.
To-day Earle Hodges is the favor
ite in Il field of candidates for the
Democratic nomination rs candi,
date for Governor Of the State Of
Arkansas, a nomination which is
equivalent to election. If reports
that reach this office are to be relied
upon. there is every reason to believe
that he will be the next chief execu-
tive OF that great state.
1t is worth while to make good in
the lesser things that the greater
may be achieved,
In fact it is worth while to make
good in any way,

II will be noticed that there was a
material increase in taxable valua-
tions in 1915. an increase of s1.s51,2s5.
OF this total increase OF nearly two
millions OF dollars. the corporations
increase amounted to only s323,ss0. In
other words. the small property holder
found his property increased by s1.627,-
e25. while the increase on the plants
was almost negligible.
THE TINES story tomorrow will take
UP conditions that would result if the
taxable valuations were raised to what
would seem to be a fair figure.
Mr.. Harmon said that he wished it
understood that he had no quarrel
with the manufacturing industries o.
East Chicago: that he realized that
they constituted the prosperity Of this
community; and that he was in favor
Of making reasonable concessions such
as other cities were making: but that
the present taxable valuations Were
not fair to the plants themselves as I,
whole and were certainly unfair to the
small property holder who was paying
from ten to twenty times as much tax
in proportion to their holdings as the
industrial enterprises.

Those who are familiar with the APP
proximats true valuations OF the
plants have found many discrepancies
in the above list. In fact. as W. B..
Van Horne said at the meeting. 1t
would seem that the plants themselves.
especially those that are paying on
the higher valuations in proportion to
true values. would themselves well
come an equalization that would put
the big plants on a more equal basis
with their own Some industries have
doubled their true valuations with
only fifty per cent increase in tax
able valuations.
Attention was called to the plants of
the Interstate Iron and Steel Co. and
the Inland Steel Co. as Offering the
most striking examples OF low taxable
valuations.
The following table shows the total
valuations in the city during the pas

DEMOCRATIC :.T
TARIFF FAILURE

Two facts stand out prominently in
the statistics of American imports,
enc condemnatory of the Democratic
tariff policy and both, cautionary to
the country. The first is that the
Underwood Simmons tariff act is a
failure as revenue producer; that
because OF its failure direct taxation
Of the American people has been
made necessary to provide for the
ordinary expenses of the government.
The second Is that 1t has opened our
ports to enormous importations Of
foreign goods In competition with our
domestic produces even In var time,
indicating the food that may be ex-
pected when peace comes that we
must have tariff not only for the
protection of American industry but
also one that will yield revenue for
the country, Such a tariff will not be
provided by the Democratic party.
Whatever of protection Mr.. Wilson
and his associates will grant the
U. s. at this time is matter of
expediency in promotion of their
political fortunes, and they will not
surrender their fatu0us tree trade
policy. Even in the matter of a tarin
commission they aim to fool rather
than help American industry, for as
revealed in the pending revenue BILL
they do not propose to make the
commission permanent. On the 9TH
re hand, the Republican policy OF
protection is founded on conviction of
its righteousness and determination
to make American prosperity perman-
ent. F
Just one instance OF the injurious
failure of the Democratic tariff need
be cited. III the matter Of raw WOOL
the statistics prove that in the 80
