Blanton's Hybrid Idea

1t remained for Representative Blan-
ton of Texas, to add new definition
to the encyclopedia of tariff lore.
While debating the emergency tariff
bill in the House the other day, Mr..
Blanton seriously declared: 81 will
say this, that l am for tariff for
revenue only. It is a Democratic prin-
ciple, and ] am standing on that prin-
ciple.- But I am in favor Of putting
only such tariff on any article. farm
article or otherwise, as not to form
a subsidization, but only to be a diff
ference in equalization of cost as be-
tween the cost Of production in this
country and in foreign countries.
There is not an item in this bill that
covers more than that difference in
cost Of production"
And then Mr.. Blanton serves this
warning on his Republican colleagues:
81 want to put you on notice now, as
to every bill that you bring in here
with tariff provision in 1t that seeks
W pioSc "a uuSs ihBhci ehoh ehe dAA
ference in the cost of production be-
tween this and foreign countries, that
| am going to fight against it, and you
have got to keep within that rule to
get my vote"
OF course the whole principle of pro-
lection to American industries, cham
pioned by the Republican party since
its organization, has been postulated
on that difference in the cost of pro-
duction " in this country and in fore
ign countries" while the Democratic
party has championed the policy of
free trade, opportunizing now and then
with talk Of tariff for revenue only,
or what the late Representative E. ].
Hill called, "free trade with handi-
cap" Mr.. Blanton's threat will not
disturb the Republicans. He is cor
daily invited to make it good, and the
majority of the voters Of his State
are for protection.

fusion ought to be his middle name.

The American Legion is right in
opposing "drives" for raising funds
for soldier relief. The United States
owes it to the soldiers to "care for
those who bore the battle and for their
widows and orphans" and under the
leadership of Republican President
and Republican Congress, the obli-
cation will be met. Raising and dis
bursting funds for soldiers through
"drives" is not only unnecessary but
wasteful.

WORD FROM WASHINGTON
SmoOt Sales Tax.

Washington, Apr. 2.-(Special cor
nce)-Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah has introduced his bill for a
sales tax to take the place of the ex-
cess profits tax which it is proposed
to repeal. The measure places levy
of per cent on all sales, both of raw
materials and finished products, in ex-
cess of $4,000. The exemption is
made for the benefit of farmers and
small merchants. 1t is estimated that
the tax would yield about $1,000, ,0O0.-
900 annually. Senator Smoot says that
his tax would be simple in application,
easy to compute. and exceedingly diff
ficult to escape. He declares that it
would add an average of only 3h per
cent to the selling price of an article,
whereas the Department Of Justice
has asserted that the Objectionable ex-
cess profits tax is responsible for an
average increase in price of upwards
of % per cent.

Unfittest Survival.

''The defect of most labor organiza-
tions," says Judge Gary, "is that they
are planned to protect the poor worker
from the good worker and try to level
down-not to level up" And in nine
cases out Of ten, it is the poor worker,
the chap who slacks in the tugs, who
is the red-eyed radical demanding
government ownership and an oppor-
tunity to make the taxpayers stand
for wage-scale the height Of which
would be controlled only by the capa-
city of the public treasury. The good
worker endeavors to earn his pay.

illusion by calling Russia an economic
