LET it be understood that legisla-

not for the benefit of any class, but
for the benefit of the masses.
sour ships are not only penalized
by statue, but they have not even the

II find, too, that an English ship
can actually go through this canal at

"The first step we must take to
maintain an efficient merchant ma

American flag to pass through the

Effect Of High Taxes
"From what have seen abroad !
am convinced that excessive taxes
tend toward leveling downward.
"The supply of free capital arising
from profits, instead of being returned
to industry. is being poured into the
Golfers of the government,
1T is perfectly obvious now that
what big business wants is precisely
what every individual wants-the OPP
portunity to make living.
"Never was time more propitious
than the present, but we are stagger-
ing under high taxes on corpoi alton
profits and on personal incomes.
II believe that excessive taxation,
while taking away from the incomes
of the rich, also is taking away the
means of increasing the wealth of the
nation.
"In France, Italy and Germany men
and women are getting together and
working hard.
There is but one way from now on
to further decrease the cost of living
here, and that is for everybody to get
together and work.

the other nations Of the world.
In that century our population in
creased ten times. Our exports in
1920 were 1876 times greater than in
1920 and our imports were "a times
as great.
American territory increased during
the century from about 100000
square miles to over 100000 square
miles.
Raw Gotten neld the first place in
1921 in our exports, the value being
$20,157, 484. It maintained that posi-
ton in 1920 with value of 81 1885,
408,9l6. But cotton comprised 1915
per cent of our exports in 1921, where
as the percentage had fallen to 1929
last year.
A hundred years ago the principal
exports following cotton were tobac-
co, wheat, flour, rice, lumber, hog
| products, fish, and pot and pearl ash
es. In 1920 iron and steel, which did
not constitute ] per cent of the 1921
trade, had climbed to position sec
ond only to cotton. Breadstuffs came
next, with wheat figuring as the larg-
est single item.
A century ago piece goods, coffee,
iron and stees were the leading i'm

predominant. In the re-exports Of
l 100 years ago coffee was the principle
litem, but today raw hides come FIRST
and coffee takes second place.

THE TARIFF ANb
MODERN CONDITIONS.

When Thomas W. Lamont, New
York financer, of the type formerly
sympathetic with the stand-pat Repub-
lican theory of the tariff, warns the
Harding administration that any at
tempt to modify existing tariff sched-
ules will only result in business confu-
sion and in hampering American ex-
port trade, the time has come for the
Republicans to admit that their doc
trines of the tariff are now ci-devant.
They cannot sustain protective sys-
tenn unless the big moneyed interests
Of New York and elsewhere stand be-
hind them. with their millions for pro-
paganda and campaign purposes, de-
signed to convince the people that pro-
lection is the cure-all for industrial
and economic ills Of every kind. If
the interests which finance the great
industrial and manufacturing organ
izations, formerly most concerned in
demanding the prohibitiye tariff sched-
ules for which the Republican party
has stood consistently. desert this
standard, the Republican Fetch be-
comes obsolete.
Mr.. Wilson limited at the collapse
Of the tariff program Of the programs
in his veto Of the so-called emergency
bills; even Senator Penrose at first
opposed the bills. and antagonized tho
proposals to revise the tariff sched-
ules. Bankers like Lamont and A.
/ Barton Hepburn, business men such
as the head of the Baldwin Locomo-.
tive works, and many Republican
newspapers of the highest rank have
served notice on the Republican adj
ministration and upon Congress that
any tariff tinkering can only mean dis
aster.
Will the Republicans face this sit
uation, or will they blindly turn to
their old idols an6 ignore the condi-
tions Of the hour? The United States
has become creditor nation, not only
so far as the government is concerned,
but our money markets and centers of
trade hold the bills Of banking hous-
es, manufacturers and merchants
throughout the world. The world is
paying interest to us, the specie ex-
changes are in our favor, trade bal
ances are on the credit side of our
ledger. and the ports of the world are
open to our ships and to our enter
prising exporters. We have mer-
chant marine, built by Democratic
administration, in the face of persist
ent Republican opposition, that car
res our goods into every mart on the
globe. All this is different from the
debtor days Of the Mckinley bill, the
Dingley bill and the Payne-Aldrich
linicuity. Does the Republican party
adhere so steadfastly to the dead
!, things Of yesterday that It viii dare
interpose tariff wall Of the old school
ideas between the American business
| man and the markets Of the world !?

INCREASE OF WILD
FOWL SINCE PASSING OF
MIGRATORY LAW

; Washington, March 22.-Conservs-
ton of water and marsh areas is
necessary to the perpetuation Of the
migratory wild fowl, the Depart
ment Of Agriculture declared in "a
statement today. - ~
Reports received by the Biological
Survey during the last few months
show there has been an increase of
wild fowl since the passage of the
migratory bird law. The statement
also says that, under proper condi-
tions, water farming" Of many
lakes and ponds and of marsh and of
swampy lands will yield a larger re-
turn than would the same area drain
ed and used for agriculture.
DIR. f. w, Nelson, chief of the sur
vey, declared the rapidly increasing
drainage of lakes and marshes
throughout the country indicates that
wild fowl resorts and feeding places
will be practically eliminated from
most of the states unless a considera-
BILE number of the best of them are
conserved.

sometimes more. Somehow Joe all
ways had space enough to get in all

ton grew from a bundle you could

Campaign Of Criticism Was a Failure
There was another town where the
editors conceived it to be their duty
to sharply criticise the farmers for
patronizing mail order houses instead
of their local merchants, who helped
build roads, pay taxes. furnish high
schools, and SO on. The crusade was
| not success. The farmers had been
doing some buying from foreign hous-
es because the town merchants had
/ not taken the pains to give them the
service they felt they had right to
expect, and when the papers began
finding fault with them for sending
their money away, they conducted a
counter campaign against the town.
In all relations of life we should
treat others as fellow-mortals with the
same desire to be fair as ourselves.
you can't drive trade into your net by
coercive measures. You must produce
"the goods. If you do your part as
a wise merchant, recognizing the
rights of your customer to buy wher-
ever he pleases, and at the same time
showing your appreciation of his pat
ronage by fair and courteous treat
ment, all the chances are in your ia
vor.
A recognition of this will do more
to bring town and country together
than all the noise that could be kicked
