THE TARIFF PAST
s' PRESENT AND FUTURE


Congress to revise the internal tax
laws and relieve business and the peo-
pie generally OF the onerous and bur-
densome war taxes.
3, Chairman White pointed out that
the Republican party was in power
the last two years Of the Wilson ad-
ministration in both branches of Con-
gress, and although appealed to by a
Democratic president to revise the tax
laws oppressive to business and the
public generally, that party never Of
fered any constructive legislation on
revenue revision or anything else.
''The Democratic party" said Chair
man White, "is on record two years
and two months in favor of such re-
vision"
''The Tariff, Past Present and Future''
Republicans of the House seem to
ignore the fact that a world war has
upset and transformed many condi-
tons, especially economic conditions.
Sometimes, it would seem that they
forget there has been a world war.
But Herbert Hoover, who perhaps
ranks highest among Republican
economists, has not forgotten, and his
newspaper, the Washington Herald,
has recently called attention to these
changed conditions with particular
reference gtortthe tariff question. In
its issue OF Feb. Q, 1921, the Herald
editorially pointed out the difficulties,
| il not impossibilities, of equitable
tariff adjustment which apparently
has been unheeded by Thea junker
tariff makers and their beneficiaries,
the highly protected campaign con-
tributors. 1t said under the above
caption:
.. II is one thing to be the
worlds greatest debtor nation and
quite another to- be the worlds great
est creditor nation 1t is another dis
turbing factor no have a comparative

deprecated as compared to that OF

vexing element to have these relative
values as variably as is the number
OF competing nations.

All Mention of Fight at End

In Testimony of Lieu

Acts Not Questionable

! Rockaway, n. y, Jan. lS.-Avold-

tween Lieutenants Hinton and Far
rell, which brought to a surprising
denouement their balloon flight into
Canadian wilderness and tramp back
to civilization, Lieut.. Louis A. Kioor,

scribed their experiences today be-
fore the naval court of inquiry.
Newspaper accounts have re-

Conduct of the party y
Picking his words, Lieutenant
Kloor praised the personal conducr
of his companions until they reached
Mattice, where the fight occurred.
That's all have to say he de-
clared, but the court reminded him
his story had not brought the air
men back to Rockaway.
Then he mentioned that Lieutenant
Hinton had left the private car in
which the two of them were seated at
Mattioe, to deliver to Lieutenant Far
rell, Secretary Daniels order against
granting interviews.
Avoids Mention of Fight.
Hinton said he would tell Farrell,
and in doing so he had to go to the
Hudson Bay company store, after
which he returned to the private car"
Lieutenant Kloor said.
1t was while Hinton was gone tina.
the fight occurred, but the witness
made no mention OF it.
The conduct of Lieutenants Hin
ton and Farrell on our return from
Mat,ice, he continued, was in no
way questionable"
Concluding. Lieutenant Kloor
turned to the newspaper men and
smiled. He was then excused.
During the weeks they spent in
the northern forests, at Moose Fac
tory and in trudging through the
snow back to civilization. Lieutenant
Kloor said each man made sacrifice
