CURIOUS MENTAL PROCESSES.

Decorate reasoning if 1t Is per-
missiblc TO designate the peculiar
mental processes of the Democrats by
so dlgnified term-consists of in
sistence that the European war Is re-
sponsible for the abjcct failure of the
Underwood bill as revenue pro-
duccr and, regardless OF the facts and
figures presented to the contrary by
Democratic official statisticians, are
determined to impose additional di-
rect taxation on the pretoXt that the
deficit in revenues is purely tempo
rary. The statisticians calculate that
the total foreign trade for 1916 will
amount to six billions Of dollars. and
that the imports for this year will
amount to considerably in excess of
two billions. Had the Democrats
been content with reasonably mod
crate tariff revision, or even had they
been loyal to their own time hon
only," there would have been no need,
with such imports as these, for i'm
posing numerous burdensome and
veXatious special and direct taxes. But
the freo-trade element In the party,
ably abetted by Woodrow Wilson and
William j. Bryan. took the bit in
their teeth and, against the advice of
such experienced legislators as Oscar
Underwood and other members of the
ways and means committee, passed a
bin which has played havoc with the
treasury as 1t has with many Ameri-
can producers, which would have
played havoc with tho farmers had
not the European war temporarily
suspended foreign production, and
which would bring unparalleled dis
aster to this country should the war
end before it was repealed.

ALLEGED GANG IS
BEING ROUNDED UP
Police Believe They Have
Two Members of a
Stickup Trio.

In the capture of John Bauhaf
alias Dutch" a youth of 20, detec-
tives believe they have made an ar
rest that will throw much light on
the operations of the band of stick
up men who have been making this
their headquarters for the past sew
eral weeks.
Bauhaf, who is suspected of being
implicated in several like jobs in other
cities was arrested by Detective
Harry Sanders following the arrest
of o. Merrett late Tuesday evening,
who was picked up at the Frisco sta
tion and was found to be armed with
sap and a gun, which resulted in
charges of carrying concealed weapons
being placed against him.
The latest alleged member Of the
gang arrested Is said to have been
operating in almost all parts of the
west having stated that he has made
most of the states from Canada to
Mexico in his travels with a carnival
company. Though given chance
last night to unburden himself to the
detective department, he refused to
do so, but is being held and will prob
ably be given another sweating" to-
day when the officers hope to secure
more evidence, not only against the
youth and Merritt, but against other
members of the gang who have not
as yet been captured.

A WORLD TARIFF REVISION.

Professor Henry G. Emery, who
was chairman % the late tariff board
appointed under Republican ad-
mnistration which the Democrats
permitted TO die for want of financial
support, thinks that the time is near
when the mos. favored nation" fea-
ture of tariff laws viii be abolished
Tho American idea OF tariff faVors
demands quid pro quo, while In
Europe concession granted to n
third country under this clause be-
comes ipso facto extended to the
other party of the treaty. II Is highly
probable that when this war closes
the European idea will be abandoned
and the American application viii
come into general use, or In other
words, commercial treaties Will be
based on reciprocity rather than on
favortsnl. Tho American idea Of a
tariff bargain Is the giving Of favors
in return for favors. and the only way
for us to meet rcadiustmcnt on the
coming OF peace, the only way for us
to properly safeguard our export in
dustrlcs, is To make a wide extension
Of this bargaining principle so as to
be in position to offer concessions
In exchange for similar favors. one
thing is certain. and that is that no
such safeguards can be applied under
the existing Democratic law, for tho
reason that that law leaves MS moth
ing to trade upon. We canot have
reciprocity with South America, be
cause ninc-tcnths OF our imports
from that continent enter our ports
free of duty. The Underwood duties
are so low that Europe and Japan
had no difficulty in hopping over
the tariff wall Until these condi- !
tions are reversed we have nothing
to trade upon. The outstanding
truth liz that the Republican tariff
policy not only encourages industry
at home but 1t provides for bargain |
ing with other countries ana extend |
Ing our foreign trade along such lines |
as commercial policy may dictate
having always in mind the best in
terests of our domestic producers.
