He had gone but half block down the street
when the weight of 1t forced him to stop TO rest.
He mopped his perspiring brow and looked proud

n ARIS reports that a powerful
group of Scandinavian bank
ers has agreed to finance Aus
tria's reconstruction, if the Allies
will defer their indemnity claims
for twenty years-and as indemnity
claims against Austria are worth
less, that part ought to be easy.
. The real significance of the pro-
posal is that the Scandinavian
bankers are doubtless only camou-
fage behind which powerful allied
financiers are working, with the full
knowledge of the allied govern
ments, which are only too glad to
remit the indemnity claims, but want

The March !.
OF EDents
.rlHE outstanding domestic prob
lems are the Fordney Tariff

lcIllb dIc tHC SANASy
bill, the Soldiers Bonus bill
and the Hitchcock bill to create
Bank of Nations.
The Hitchcock bill has not yet
reached the stage of discussion, but
the Congress seems to have made
up its mind about the tariff and
bonus bills. The bonus bill Will
probably be allowed to sleep IN
committee. But the Fordney bill
seems likely to pass, unless public
sentiment is reused to change some
votes in the Senate and the House.
A worse economic measure than
{ this Fordney bill it would be hard
TO imagine. Partly the product OF
profound ignorance of conditions
and of economic causes and effects,
and partly an unconcealed payment
of political debts to powerful inter
ests, the bill, if passed, will tend to
raise prices and put an additional
handicap upon our exporting trade
and our merchant marine.
The Fordney tariff is not pro-
F., tective tariff. 1t is an almost pro-
hibitory tariff upon many things.
1t is not constructive, but destruc-
tive. 1t will not diminish taxes,
J but business. 1t will make it harder
{ for our debtors to pay us and make
us poorer and more in need of col
lecting our debts. The proposed
Fordney Tariff Act is a vicious
measure because it will tend to re-
strict trade, to increase prices, to
decrease the power to pay taxes,
and to breed and foster home mo-
nopolies.
1t is such an extreme measure
that it is hard to see how any SEN
sible man in the Congress can vote
for it, unless he is under the infiu-
ence of the interests which alone
will profit from the general harm.
The railroads are to get five hun
dred millions more from the United
States Treasury-though the Treas
ury is bare enough as it is, heaven
knows.
The railroads have been per-
mitted to raise freight and passen-
ger rates to heights unknown be-
fore, and yet they come to the
Treasury crying for more money,
for all the world like so many hogs
squealing around the feed trough.
If nearly doublsd rates cannot
keep the railroads in funds enough
to pay expenses, how would it be to
trim fares down to reasonable linn
its and so find out whether a revival
of business and shipping is not more
profitable all around than a policy
of sandbagging the public every
time it wants to ride or to ship
freight
