THE TARIFF COMMISSION

At last we have before us in black and
white President Wilson's idea of a "non-par-
tisan" tariff commission.
There are two theories, either of which
would explain, in a clear and logical manner,
the presidents choice of the men who are to
inaugurate a new era in dealing with one of
the most vital problems of the day, a problem
that intimately concerns the prosperity of the
nation, that affects the interests of every
American wage Garner. manufacturer and con-
sumner. and that has been the basis of more
political controversy than any other subject
ever discussed before the American people.
The president may consider that congress
created the tariff commission for the purpose
Of creating new Jobs for deserving Demo-
Gratis, and that this is a good opportunity to
reward various kinds of men who support
ed him in his campaign, for er-election. If we
are correctly Informed the new board consists
wholly of men who supported President Will
son, last November. Thus it includes three
Wilson Democrats, one Wilson independent,
one Wilson Progressive, and one "pacifist Will
son Republican.
Another theory is that the president mere
ly undertook to make this "non-partisan' COM
mission as safely partisan upon the vital tariff
question as was possible without a technical
violation of the provisions of the act of con-
gress. In appointing mot more than three per-
sons of any political party" the president may
have complied with the literal requirements of
the law. but he has made not more than a
beginning of giving the nation a truly nom
partisan board of commercial and industrial
tariff experts, who would take the tariff out
of politics and give us a revenue producing
tariff law with incidental protection far alike
to wage Garner. manufacturer and consumer.
The announcement of the presidents ap-
pointments to this board has been met with a
storm of protest which is wholly justifiable.
This is not a non-partisan tariff commission
and It is not a fair and honest bipartisan COM

Freakish was the fortune of the
State Flag Bill. Two years ago
The LEGISLATURE passed an act pro-
viding for a state flag. The design
was by Col. A. E. Koehler and it
was opposed by club women and
others because of its bizarre COM
position and colors. However, il
went through mainly because of the
lobbying by Col. r. E. Twitcheil.
But the Colonel determined to de.
sign a new flag. a design that would
meet approval from those aestheti-
caiiy and artistically inclined. The
bill was introduced as House Bill

and fed only once a day; I asked of the first boy-he was little more than that what his offense was. He was being pun ished because he had broken the silence at meal time; the silence system is in use at the penitentiary there as it is in some others in the United States. Think of that"
 T have travelled through 23 states since came to America in the summer of 1s15," said Professor Heery, and I have visited prisons in all these states, and let me say that there are conditions which I cannot discuss in regard to them i; the moral side, for instance, which is unspeakable"
 Tt is very difficult for man with an unprejudiced mind to ascertain actual prison conditions. Those who wish to improve existing systems are either looked upon with suspicion or they are classed with the hysterical females who weep over the condemned wife murderer. Others are regarded as crahks and treated with the gentle deference usually accorded to the dreamer. But the hard headed American citizen rapidly is realizing that it is up to him to tear away the veil of secrecy that has always cov- cred the treatment of convicted men. Statistics show that about 80 per cent of crimes are committed against prop erty, so we must admit that our eco homie conditions are, to large extent, responsible for overcrowded jails and penitentiaries. Day by day the factories of poverty, vice and greed are steadily grinding out a steady stream of unfortu- mates and defeetives and officers of the law are continually engaged in gather ing them in and turning citizens into con- victs. A penal institution is the sickest, saddest place in the world, but it's sick ness is as old as the story of Eden, and the bulk of it's sadness could be elim- mated. On the surface everything is glassy smooth, and a suave diplomacy meets and disarms the investigator at every turn, but the smoothness covers a boiling, swirling whirlpool, and the dip- lomacy is meant to deceive
 And what is the remedy for all these conditions?" I asked interestingly.
 ''An awakening of the public con science" said Professor Heery. Prison system reforms are based on human kind ness; the golden rule has proven suc- cessful in the treatment of prisoners to an extent that far surpassed the most vivid expectations. There are today hun d, eds and hundreds of fine, stalwart men and women working in the interest of prison reform, and it is no sentimentality that calls for a change of method of deaI- ing with prisoners, but an enlightened mind that is dealing scientifically with the laws of cause and effect. But until the support of an aroused and extended public sentiment is obtained, the work will be far from effective. At the pres- ent time public interest in prisons and the welfare of prisoners is limited and luke warm. Changes are certain to come, and these changes will be based upon changed economic conditions.

But for the sake of argument,
that was two years ago and liv-
ing expenses have increased much
since then and salaries in private
employment have increased. Cor
rect. But wait a minute. There
was a session of the Legislature
last winter and those salaries
which had been cut were boosted
back to the old figures and In
many instances increased over
the old figures, so that in mSs'
every instance state employees
now are being paid salaries
which will offset the raise in llv'
