The Chicago Platform.

These questions are asked: wiz the
Sixty Congress steer by the
Chicago platform? If so. how will it
be possible for democrats who helped
elect Harding and Coolidge longer. to
cooperate with the republicans?
What else is there to steer by? In
one sense, last months victory was
not a partisan one. Great numbers
Of democrats voted for the republican
ticket.
But the victory was achieved under
republican leadership and on a decla.
ration Of republican principles. Hence
the republicans will organize the next
Congress-, and being committed to
their principles must try to live Ut
to them in their legislation. Any
other course would be dishonest and
disastrous. The country would not
stand for skullduggery attempted un.
der any sort Of casuistry. The victors
must give the country square deal.
The democrats who voted for the
Chicago ticket knew the terms Of the
Chicago platform, and that success a,
the polls would obligate the winners
to steer by the party chart. Can 1t BIZ
assumed that they had no other oh
ject in view than to assist in turnins
out the administration? Are they 4,
liberty now. after helping to put the
republicans in power, to try to pre-
vent them from using that power &C
cordins to the promises they have
made?

Cabinet Speculation.

Geographical considerations are, as
usual, entering into cabinet specula-
ton. The. east would like to have the
State Department. the Treasury De-
partment, the, Navy Department and
the Department of Justice. 1t is very
much interested in the diplomatic
questions that will come before the
Harding administration. New York
city is the financial metropolis Of the
western hemisphere. and may in
crease its Importance to cover the
world. The great shipyards and naval
Department of Justice has to do with
big business. and, as rule. big bust
ness is eastern.
The west would like to have the In

ment. and thinks a western man best
qualified to administer it understand
ingly and successfully.

Harding, and Of the encouragement
for the future that would flow from
such recognition. She will be salts.

Mr.. Wilson's cabinet appointments

Texans-Mr. BurIeson and Mr.. Greg

a plurality Of six hundred and seventy
five thousand votes, has now two

Congress and the Tariff.

Mention the tarln, and Congress
all attention. The subject reaches far
1t touches the pocket nerve. which.
as all know. is very sensitive.
We may see by the present furry,
which springs from q mere emergency
proposition. how great the furry will
be in the next Congress when general
tariff revision is taken up. While that
is, in hand everything else will play
la subordinate part.
The Underwood revision brought
out the two old parties on familiar and
conventional lines. 1t was the tussle
often witnessed. between the protec-
tionists and the anti.protectionists.
The law under consideration-the
Payne law-was only four years old,
but its enactment had split the re-
publican party into two factions, and
paved the way for the democratic
House elected in 1910. and had assisted
in the complete democratic triumph Of
1912.
The Underwood law, now to be con-
sidered. has been on the books seven
years; but during six years of the
time business. both at home and
abroad, has been seriously dislocated.
and the law, therefore. robbed of op-
portunity for operation under normal
conditions.
Still, its year Of operation under
normal conditions did not impress the
country favorably with the measure
1t made no appeal to business, and
as revenue producer it left much to
be desired.
What is now wanted and what Con-
gress will prepare is measure drafted
on protection lines, with the double
object Of fostering business, and yield
ing the greatly increased amount Of
revenue the government now needs.

Government and the 0ut-of-Work.

OF fifteen recommendations in the an
nual report Of the Secretary of Labor
six relate to the reduction Of unemploy-
ment. All but one of these involve far
reaching action. penetrating in some
cases to the very heart Of our Industrial
system. Such is the cure Of unemploy-
ment through the so-called regulariza-
ton Of industry, involving the co-opera-
ton of employers and workers as well
as states and municipalities. Only less
elaborate are the methods for combat
ing unemployment through the 6pread
OF industrial education and the encour-
agement of migration from the cities
back to the land. Plainly. these meth
DDS. while essential to a permanent So
luton Of the unemployment problem, do
not serve us in the emergency.
But there Is one method Of combating
unemployment that can be applied with
little loss of time. This is complete
system Of labor exchanges-local. state
and national-with body like the fed
era1 employment service as a regulatory
agency. The federal employment serv-
ice was born with the war, and all but
died with 1t. AS Secretary Wilson rec
ommends, 1t ought to be revived.-New

Wall Street in q Slump.

Many people thought that when the
date Of paying the last installment Of
the income tax had been passed there
would be a recovery in the stock
market, which for some weeks prior
to that date was in a steady slump.
1t was figured that this decline in
stock prices was due in large part to
liquidations for the sake Of getting
cash for the tax payments. The 18th
is past and there has been no recovery.
On the contrary. the market has con.
tinued to sag and yesterday it went
low" record for 1920. Some Of the
declines were sensational, with two
Of the most active industrial stocks
leading the downward movement The
bears took advantage Of the slump to
hammer the market and accelerated
the action until the whole list showed
a turnover for the day Of moro than a
million and half shares, the heaviest
on record since April ~, when the
volume Of business touched more than
1 100000 shares.
Search for the cause Of this .phe-
nomenon goes far afield. Is it the
continued tendency induced by the tax
payment liquidation movement? Or
lis it a symptom Of the industrial stu.
alton? Do the closing mills and short.
ening labor forces and lowering wage
scales mean that stock values have
lessened? Or is it the fact that pro-
fessional traders are merely working
up selling movement by making the
most of all unfavorable reports and
conditions?
The country Is essentially sound and
the financial situation is excellent.
There is plenty Of currency. The de.
mand for money, which was excessive
a short time ago. is lessening and
there is no reason for fear of panic.
