Two Tariff Laws.

The Gorman.Wilson lcw-1894-
heads the list Of failures in our tariff
legislation. The man under whose
direction it was drawn and passed
through the House favored a very low
tariff-was almost confessed free
trader. The measure, however, even
under his shaping, carried a smart de.
gree of protection.
When it reached the Senate for re.
view 1t fell into the hands of a con.
fessed protectionist. Mr.. German made
no secret Of his tariff views, and he
applied them to the Wilson bill. He
not only gave a twist to the protec-
tion the bill already CARRIED, but added
new protection featureA Failure was
inevitable. A hodge -podge of that sort
cannot succeed.
The Dingley law-1897-heads the
list of successes in our tariff legisla.
ton. 1t was straightout protection
measure. Those who drew it in the
House and those who reviewed it in
the Senate were members of the same
tariff school. They differed as to some
details, but were working to a com
mon end-the protection Of American
industries and American wage scales
and standards of living for wage-earn.
ers. The work thus turned out sue.
ceeded beyond the expectation of its
authors. 1t was a symmetrical act,
and bound to win in operation.
The authors of the Fordney bill and
the men who will review it in the
Senate are members of the same tariff
school. They ought to work. not at
cross-purposes. but to common end.
If they do. and turn out a symmetrical
law, they may have their reward. and
the country through them it's reward,
as in the case Of the Dingley law
twenty-four years ago.

When the President and the major

their relations are very close. They

Railroad Valuations.

Nearly a decade has passed since
the Interstate Commerce Commission
embarked on what it believed to be
frontal assault on the railroad
problem-the valuation of the car
riers. That work Is still being car
ried on. From time to time state
ments have been issued by the rail-
roads saying that the official valua-
tion fully vindicated their book
values. Outside of that they have con-
tributed nothing to the current study
of the transportation problem. Many
of the high hopes held out for the
result of this great constructive
work of valuation have faded and
vanished.
The nation has spent more than
$16, 100000 on a valuation of it's rail-
roads only to find that the fluctua-
ton of money during the war infia-
ton, and after, has practically
rendered it valueless. If valua-
ton is designed to ascertain the
original cost of building the carriers,
it Is not necessary, for that fact can
be ascertained by consulting the
books of the roads themselves. If it
is designed to ascertain the repro
duction cost. the whole issue re.
wolves around the time at which the
valuation is made. Certainly re-
production cost based on wartime
values would be decidedly favorable
to the roads. The same issue enters
into an effort to ascertain the So
called fair value.' which is the mean
between the original construction cost
and the reproduction cost-Baltimore

The Playground.Safety Fund.

Prompt response by the citizens of
Washington to Commissioner Oyster's
appeal for funds to open the school
Fairgrounds to the children during the
summer indicates that the community
is keenly alive to the importance of
maintaining these places Of Juvenile
recreation regardless of the season.
Indeed, it is generally felt that the
Fairgrounds are more necessary In
summer during the vacation period
than at any other time of the year.
Little doubt can be felt that enough
money will be subscribed to open all
the grounds and maintain them until
the reopening of the schools.
1t is queer condition that calls for
this resort to the public purse in order
that the children of Washington
should have proper recreation space at
the time when they are most in need
Of it. The school Fairgrounds during
nine months Of the year are available
to them for certain hours Of the day.
But of general public Fairgrounds,
supplementing those school spaces,
there are not enough to meet the re-
quirements. Large areas Of the city
are unprovided with them. Some of
these public spaces are privately own
ed and may be closed at any time by
the reclamation of the grounds for
building purposes. Only by opening
the school Fairgrounds can the sum-
mer sports and plays of the children
in safety be insured.
Washington is very much behind
other cities in this respect of prOtec.
ton to the children while playing. 1t
started tardily to provide these spaces
and the provisions for them have been
meager and halting. Yet there can
be no doubt that Fairgrounds save
lives and limbs by taking the children
off the streets, where they are in con-
slant peril.
Instead Of curtailing the playground
facilities in summer the city should
increase them. There should be within
a few blocks of every home in Wash
ington a space where the youngsters
can romp and play their games in
security. with equipment and appa-
ratus, and with supervision. AS it is
there are at least 5000 children today
in the District who cannot safely and
conveniently reach a public play
ground. And If they could all do so
those spaces would be jammed beyond
the possibility of any sport or recrea.
ton. The result is that thousands Of
these children are in the streets from
morning until night, exposed to the
perils of traffic.
A check sent to Commissioner
Oyster may be the means Of saving a
life. Send it quickly, so that no more
time may be lost. for time lost means
an increase Of the danger to which
the children of the capital are hourly
exposed.

The Southern Sanitary Situation.

Promptly upon the announcement
from the White House that President
Harding had addressed communica-
tions to the head Of the public health
service and the American Red Cross.
calling upon them to organize for the
relief of the people of the cotton sec
tions of the south, suffering from in
adequate food and from pellagra. pro-
tests arose from that part of the
country: There was no famine in the
south and there was no more than the
usual prevalence of pellagra. stated
governors and state health officers and
representative citizens. A conflict Of
fact appeared. The President had
based his letters to the public health
service and the Red Cross upon re-
ports received by him. Yet it was to
be assumed that those who spoke so
promptly and vigorously for the south
ern states were fully acquainted with
conditions and could be expected to
know as much about them as any fed
eral official.
Now a conference has been called,
to be held in this city on the 4th Of
August. at which the whole situation
will be discussed. If the public health
service is wrong and there is no un-
usual prevalence of pellagra and no
exceptional lack of wholesome food
among the poorer people of the south
the figures will quickly demonstrate
at the meeting. And the country will
greatly rejoice. 1t is of no moment
particularly how the official reports on
which the President based his letters
originated. 1t is. of course, of moment
to the south if those reports are un-
warranted. And it is of special mo-
ment to the country at large if aid is
not needed.
1t cannot be-indeed, it is not denied
that the cotton market is in a most
unfavorable condition. and that this
seriously affects the southern economic
situation. Whether it has gone so far
as to cause suffering among the people
Of the cotton belts for lack of whole
demonstration. And if this condition
exists there should be no hesitation
about admitting it. If the resources
of the states are not sufficient to pro-
vide relief for the sufferers from this
unfavorable state of the market for
the great staple product of the south
it is the duty of the federal govern
ment to aid and the people of the
country will gladly respond to any call
for assistance.
Let there be full information on this
subject. If an injustice has been done
by the executive announcement no
harm has been inflicted. If, on the
other hand. there is an abnormal de-
gree Of suffering for lack of good food,
If there is an unusual prevalence of
the disease that comes from eating
unwholesome food. let there be no con-
cealment of the fact, but a speedy ac-
ceptance of such aid as the situation
requires.
