Discussing the subject strictly as It
affects Canada the Baltimore Sun be-
lieves that what Canada can do If
the Fordney bill becomes lay, is to
pass tariff law of her own. Cana
dian papers are very frank in their
statements that such action would be
both proper and necessary; and they
more than hint that the United States
will, both in the near future and in
the long run, lose more than she gains
If she initiates tariff war. The To-
ronto Globe says: The first step in
reprisals will undoubtedly be a sub
stantial tariff preference upon goods
from the motherland.' The Toronto
World believes that Canada could put
through an emergency tariff in a few
days which would embarrass Ameri-
can exporters. and says that Cana
dian manufacturers will have a great
opportunity which they should make
good
There are rare instances when high
tariff is permissible and perhaps nee
essary, but a general program such
as the Fordney bill proposes might
have the effect of a boomerang upon
this country. At least it would revo-

The South in the Cabinet.


Fred Upham, treasurer of the re-
publican national committee. who is
one of our more noable winter guests,
fresh from the north and just as fresh
from political intimacies at Marion.
makes the not altogether surprising
prediction that the south may be rep
resented in the cabinet of Mr.. Harding
by one and perhaps two representa-
tive citizens.
There are many reasons why the
southern states should have men in
the cabinet The industrial and agri-
cultural Importance Of the south GER
tainly ought to entitle it to- an i'm
portant place in the national govern
ment
While democratic administrations at
Washington have been generous in Sc
lecting cabinet officers from the south,
the republican administrations have
recognized only few of our able men
as being worthy advisers of the pres
ident
: President Grant evidently thought
the south was proper place from
which to draw a postmaster general
His first appointment was of j. W.
Marshall, of Virginia, followed by APP
pointment to the same portfolio of
Amos r. Alderman, of Georgia, and
David NICK. Key, Of Tennessee.
President Hayes recognized the
south by appointing Horace Maynard,
of Tennessee, postmaster geneTaI.
President Garfield made William
H. Hunt, of Louisiana, secretary of
the navy
President Roosevelt's secretary Of war
President Taft made j. NJ. Dicl1in-
son, of Tennessee, secretary of war.
So far as republican honors go in
relation to the cabinet, Tennessee had
four of the seven that have come to
the south. The party managers may
see in the recent flop Of Tennessee to
the republican column very good rea
son for handing that state an occa-
sional cabinet job.
The presumption now is that the
nation has outgrown the use of cabi-
net appointments for political expedi-
ency and that the sectional lines will
be dropped in proper recognition of the
ability of men and their knowledge of
the immediate needs of the whole ma
ton. 1t is wisdom, however, to have
members of the cabinet represent
widely different sections of the coun-
try in order that the true sentiment
of the people may be brought into
the conferences at the White House
The south has many able repubIi-
cans who know the nations needs and
at the same time can be of tremendous
help in placing before the president
and ron press the needs Of the sra taS
which, in recent years, have shown
splendid growth from both an indus
trial and agricultural standpoint.
The first exhibition of Mr.. Harding's
fitness will be in his choices for his
cabinet. The south naturally will think
him a very wise man if he chooses at
least one and perhaps two Of her wor-
thy men.-Miami Herald.

Inviting a War of Tariff ReprisaIs.


Canada is greatly wrought up over
the Fordney tariff bill. and the con-
sensus of opinion among the Cana
dams seems to be that its passage
means war of reprisals, or to be
more specific, that its adoption will
force the trading neighbors of the
United States to- resort tic. similar tar
ifs
The neighbor on our north does an
enormous business annually with the
United States and a certain amount
Of Importance must be attached to its
views on the subject. During 1920
the United States exported SS90.000. 900
worth of goods to Canada. The i'm
ports totaled s537 900, 900. VARYING to
apply the same attitude to European
countries, the identical proposition
holds true
Although the United States is the
greatest exporting nation in the
world, a tariff OF the nature suggested

will present this condition to the leg
islature when it meets next summer
and ask that an emergency appro
priation be passed to make up the diff
ference; that is to pay new" class al
well as the $15 and $25 increases
given by constitutional amendment
to the "old" classes, and thereon il
bound to come a vigorous legisla
tive fight.
Already there is a strong DISPOSE
ton to believe that influence will be
brought to bear on the Legislature to
repeal the law which provided for
the increases in the old pensions and
to repeal as we'll that provision which
let down the bars and added the new
class to the list. That some such
intention was in mind is held to be
evidenced from the fact that the leg
islature this year wrote in such rigid
restrictions around the distributor of
the fund it appropriated for pensions
in 1922 and 1928.
Wants Debt Wiped Out.
Another significant thing is. the
fact that in conversation Governor
Hardwick strongly referred to that
part of his administration policy
which seeks to bring the state out of
debt by the end of the present admin
istration and, if possible, to establish
in the treasury at least small sur
plus to work on. He has declared
he does not believe it right or proper
that the state should carry in the
treasury any considerable surplus,
but, as a matter of good business, it
should have just enough surplus to
bring to an ending the custom of
exiting" from time to time during
the year to make ends meet.
In reference to the possibility of
emergency" appropriations being
passed up by the next session, the
governor dropped the remark that if
any such money bills are passed the
legislature had "better be sure it
passes them by two-thirds vote of
both houses, because that's what they
will be required to do with any fur
ther appropriations which 'dossnot
