OF TARIFF PROTEC
TON MADE PLAIN.

While the revenue bill was under
discussion in the house the other day,
Representative Fordney of Michigan,
took occasion to point out the differ
ence between internal taxation and a
tax on imports. In other words, he
explained the difference between the
democratic method of raising revenue
by direct taxation of the people and
the republican policy of taxing i'm
ports under (which the necessary rev.
enue is raised and American indus
tries are at the same time protected
against ruinous foreign competition
Mr.. Fordney said:
my friend the difference be-
tween an internal tax and an inn
port tax is this: Suppose you
and are engaged in the same line
of business in this country, any
thing that we may be producing,
no matter what it is, we add to
our cost Of production our taxes
and insurance and all overhead
expenses. Your tax is the same
as mine on the internal tax, or
war profits tax, or the con-
sumption tax. or any other kind
of internal tax that is imposed
upon the article that you and l
are producing. We must add it
to our cost, and your cost is the
same as mine, and consequently
we both add it to the cost, and
the consumer must and does pay
that added cost. There Is no ar
gument against that Now, then,
suppose you are engaged in pro-
ducing an article abroad, similar
to an article / am producing here
raw material and labor cost is
below my cost. My good friend,
we must impose an import tax
on your product; otherwise you
will undersell me and put me out
of business; and the minute you
put me out of business, up goes
the price and you control the
market; and under such cir
cumstances the consumer then
pays the tax. and none other.
There is no comparison between
an import tax and an internal
revenue tax"

FORD AND THE SENATE.
New York Times).

It would be great pity If the gov
eminent were to lose the benefit OF
Henry Ford's skill and ability, as II
would do IL he were to be elected to
the senate. Mr.. Ford would have to
give up all his contracts with the gov
eminent. He would have to stop doing
all the work that he is so well quail
fled to do. so qualified above other
men. The law forbids any one in
terested in government contracts from
holding office. Even If Mr.. Ford could
find a way around the law, public
opinion would not tolerate his doing
it; it would be a scandal. 1t Is not
thinkable that he could put his inter-
ests in some one else's name.
II the government were to sacrifice
all this for a greater gain, it could be
endured. But there would he no great
er gain to offset it. There would
be no gain at all. There would be a
loss. Mr.. Ford Is man Of lovable
qualities, but there are many men OF
lovable qualities who are not qualified
for the United States senate; and Mr.
Ford is disqualified by possessing
kind of mind which, no matter how
we'll he might apply himself to the
study, would leave government and
politics a seal book to him all his days.
His entrance into the senate would
create vacancy both in the senate
and in the automobile business, and
from the latter Mr.. Ford cannot be
spared.

Though the information vouchsafed
by the department of justice in the
cases of graft in the quartermaster's
department Is very vague, a highly
suggestive train of thought is set IN

price which the government paid for
the goods ran as high in some cases
as 20 per cent. Assuming the average
to be half this sum, n the commits

UNlONISM AND THE WAR.
(Boston News Bureau).

A banker who has been giving
great deal of consideration to the labor
problem believes the death-knell Of
unionism has been sounded and that
its demise will be due to the war, in
spite of the fact that labor and social
istic tendencies are apparently grow
ing stronger the longer the war lasts.
1.-THE answer to the whole question,

found in the difference between 400
rivets customarily driven by rivet-
| ing crew before the war and the Won
derful totals now demonstrated as the
possibility of a, days labor. The in
ternational riveting contest has shown
that the prewar average days work
was about per cent of possible pro-
duction, and perhaps half what it
should be as an average output.
"All of which proves that labor
unionism has within itself the seed
that will eventually destroy it. That
is the principle that the average days
labor production shall be measured by
the weakest and not by the strongest

ed on minimum effort and maximum
remuneration is economically unsound

LET US HAVE WAR CHEST IN
sHosHoNE COUNTY.

The matter Of creating a war chest
to meet the demands of the various
war activities which must be financed
by the voluntary contribution of the
people Is still under consideration in
this county, and the Miner trusts
that 1t will be adopted The drives
which have been made have become
a serious burden to committees made
up of business men who have given
their time to this patriotic service
While these drives have invariably
been successful in raising the neces-
sary funds, always going over the top,
1t is a fact that the burden has not
been equally distributed, many con-
tributing more than their proportion,
many much less, and a considerable
number contributing nothing. This
Is time when every citizen must
bear his share of the burden of war,
and if there are those who are dis
posed to escape 1t, steps must be TAX
en- to compel them to perform this
most essential patriotic duty. The
war chest affords the means to dc
this. 1t Is estimated that a monthly
assessment of " per cent of individ'
that would pay the quota of this
county to the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A.
X c., Y. w. c. A., Salvation Arm,
and all other funds which have beer

eminent as necessary in the conduc
OF the war. BY this plan every person
In the county would be enlisted in tn

assuring ample funds to meet ever,

tage of paying the allotment of tn
county and no more. If there ar
those who for personal reasons di
not desire to contribute to certai
funds, the committee having charg
of the payments could have the fac
appear on the record and the fun

with directions. However, it is no
likely that there would be man

Men who continue to travel despite
the increase In the cost of railroad
tickets report that there has been
marked letting down in the courtesy
which conductors and trainmen show
toward passengers since the govern
ment took over the direction of the
railroads. One travelling salesman
SAYS that conductors and trainmen
now behave toward passengers the
way customs inspectors used to be
said to behave toward returning
tourists from Europe. This, or
course, is a necessary accompaniment
of government ownership. 1t is to be
found everywhere that government
ownership has been tried and 1t
reaches it's height on the government
