The Tariff and Politics.

The democratic platform adopted at
Indianapolis yesterday declares that
.the tariff has been eliminated from
politics by the tariff commission, which
investigates and recommends rates on
a scientific basis"
1t was at Indianapolis several years
ago that a national convention repre-.
senting American manufacturers de-
manded that the tariff be taken out of
the hands Of Congress, and committed
to a commission of experts with power
to fix rates on Scientific basis" The
Constitution Of the United States,
which commits the power of taxation
to Congress, was either forgotten or
lightly brushed aside.
As q matter Of fact, the tariff has
not been eliminated from politics"
It is littlo discussed these days be.
cause of the war, which has dislocated
business everywhere and made tariff
revision for the present impossible.
But when the war ends the tariff
will be a bigger question than it has
hitherto ever been, and a bigger po-
litical factor than ever. The tariff law
which will succeed the present, the
Underwood, law must be fashioned on
a business situation unexampled not
only in America, but in the world.
It is hardly necessary to add that in
framing our new law we shall be
obliged to take into consideration new
tariff legislation by other nations. AL
will be engaged on such enactments

EXEMPTION BOARD
OF S. D. DISBANDS

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 1.-THE ex-
emption board of South Dakota,
which had charge of selective draft
matters for. the entire state, now has
gone u Of existence. Headquarters
in Sioux Falls have been abandoned.
The board was organized at Pierre
in August, 1917, and in October, 1917.
the headquarters were moved to
Sioux Falls.
The district board acted upon $50
appeals of selective draft men from
county boards. Two hundred and
se%venty-four of those who appealed,
were held for military service. The
war ended before all the ~1S-year-Old
registrants nae returned their ques-
tionnaires to county boards, the result
being that only 342 sue registrants
reached the district board with claims
for deferred classification.
None of the registrants between the
ages of 81 and As were considered by
the district board. Quite a few
questionnaires of this class of regis
trants were on file when the district
board went of business. but all
were returned without any action be-
ing aiken.
In addition to the 40,2sO question
naires considered by the district
board this yea last yea the district
board passed or 4,121 claims for dis
charge under the first draft. Under
that draft the board certified 1886
men for service, although the net
quota required was ais.

B[|EICIANS SAY
HOLLAND WILL
BE CONSIDERED
Declare Peace Conference
Will be Directed Against
Germany and Holland.

London, Dec. 1O-(By British Wire
less Press)-Belgian claims that the
peace conference will be directed not
only against Germany but against
Holland, according to the Metropole
of Antwerp which prints a statement
made by the Belgian minister of for
eign affairs. The minister is quoted as
follows:
"Obviously our first demand from
Germany will be the restitution of all
of which we were robbed in hundreds
of ways. AS far as territorial readjust-
ments are concerned, if o carefully
read between the lines of the passages
of the recent speech from the throne
which refers to the old treaties they
will tell you as much as l can"
The passages in question deal espe-
cially with the international treaty of
1899 which liked the status OF Bel
GUM. This treaty deprived the young
kingdom of Belgium of the principal
portions Of her provinces of Leswig
and Luxembourg and enriched the
German confederation by the Belgian
towns Of the provinces of Liege such
as st. With, Eupon. Malmady and
Montjoie. 1t likewise made the king
dom of The Netherlands master Of
the lower Scheldt.
