"a more partisan tariff commission
than that proposed by the bill introduc-
ed for the Wilson administration could
scarcely be devised"
This statement was made by Repre-
sentative George w. Fairchild Of New
York, a member Of the ways and
means committee, after careful
analyst. Of the provisions Of the ad-
ministra.ion tariff commission bill
THE establishment OF a tariff COM
mission the powers Of which even sug-
gest a partisan report is neither neces-
sary, valuable nor desirable" said Mr..
Fairchild. The Democratic tariff COM
mission bill not only suggests but in
vites and insures partisan action.
The bill contains two provisions
stamping it as a partisan measure.
First, Section provides. among
other things. that the commission, ave
in number. shall investigate the ad-
ministration ard hsca, effects Of Gus
toms laws now in force or to be here
after enacted, the effects OF ad valo-
rem and specific duties, and the oper-
alton and effects Of the customs tariff
laws, including their relations 10 the
federal revenues
A report on the EFFECT Of tariff
can only be al expression o. opinion
OF the men making the report. Since
the bill specially permits the appoint
rlenr o. ma o-ity O. the same poli--
ical faith on the commission, such ma
jority would unQuestionabiy render an
opinion in conformity with the tariff
policy Of the political party from which
they were chosen. thus completely de-
s1-oying the non partisan character OF
the commission.
Second, the partisan character OF
the administration bill IS further en-
lhasized by provision that the com

GIVE PEOPLE GKEAiER POWER

The people of Kentucky are inter-
ested, deeply interested, in education,
rs is shown by the advance made in
the last ten years. The people want
this development and advancement
to be of strong and lasting type, but
this can not be accomplished either
IL ?idly or consistently so long as the
school system remains in politics.
very good citizen and parent in the
state wants the management of their
Child's educational advantages d.
vorced from politics.
The Superintendent of Public In
struction is a constitutional officer and
must be elected at regular election
of state officers, and he can not sue
coed himself. To make this little
palmer, it might be well to state that
the name Superintendent of Public
Instruction is one CT the many names
on the ballot, and interest in the cleo
tion is centered, not on him, but upoh
the head of the ticket. Frequently
a state ticket is elected on a big pub
lie issue, absolutely foreign to school
matters, and the result is the Super
intendent of Public Instruction goes
into office, not as a school man, but as
part of a successful party ticket.
No business c"l'd be carried on with
thorough success. if the general man.
ager knew that at the end of four
years he must give up his position to

deciding what changes are to be made,
the school machinery must at least
slow down and time is lost.
There isn't a man, woman or child
in Kentucky who doesn't wish to Sc
cure better rural schools and q more
efficient school system. The biggest
single thing they can do is to take
the system out of politics. The
next biggest thing Is to allow
the superintendent to succeed him.
self, II he has shown that he can really
do constructive work. No one wishes
the child-life of the state hampered or
hurt by their having poor schoolhouses
or weak system. The Superintendent
is not to blame because he is abso-
lutely tied hand and foot by the Con-
stitution of Kentucky. If he is set
free, both the man and the system will
be placed in a position to do real work
for the school children Of the state.

MUST HURRY TO CATCH UP.

Kentucky is making progress with
her present school system, but it is
not nearly fast enough. She is SO far
down the line in the list of the states
in educational matters that she must
hurry even faster than she is now
going to merely catch up with the
main portion of the procession. The
main obstacle to the rapid progress
is the necessity for the chang
ing of the Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction every four years.
No two school men, no matter how
we'll equipped they may be for this
most important position, can have ex-
actly the same ideas and ideals. So,
while a new Superintendent is striv-
ing to adjust himself to the work be-
gun by the man leaving the office, or
