Representative Carl Hayden of Ari-

Of $27, 900 asked for by the national
park service, said among other things:
"There are "a national monuments

TARIFF VITAL TO
TRADE REVIVAL
Reintroduction of Tariff Bill
Vetoed BY Wilson
FOOD OF COUNTRY AT STAKE.
Retail Prices Observation-Disclosures
Members OF Committee Drafting
Statement Opposing Passage
OF Measure.

Washington.--The House Ways and
Means Committee adopted the sub
committee report to accompany the
reintroduction In Congress of the
Emergency Tariff Bill, vetoed in the
last session by President Wilson. The
report was written by Representative
Young, of North Dakota, chairman of
the committees subcommittee on agri-
culture, who announced that the
House would be asked to take the bill
up for consideration Immediately.
In recommending repassage Of the
Tariff Bill, the report declares that
revival of all business is largely de-
pendent upon restoration to the farm
ers of their lost purchasing power,
adding that conditions have not
changed with respect to the inability
of the agricultural interests to dis
pose of their products at reasonable
prices.
The paralysis" of agriculture has
not forced reduction in prices OF
commodities which the farmers must
buy, the report says, and warns
against complete collapse" Of other
lines of trade unless the food produc-
ton of the nation is encouraged.
''The consuming public and the COM
mercial public have an absolute and
definite interest with the farmer in
helping to make cost of production
and fair profit" the report continues.
1.-THE primary interest of the consum.
ing public is that the farmer keep on
producing food. The farmer will do
that only il he makes profit on his
production. II he must sell his com.
modities below cost Of production for
a term of years, he must either go out
of business or lower his standard OF
living to the extent that he becomes a
public menace. In either event the
consumer will suffer from reduced
supplies"
Danger Of permitting a continued
dumping of foreign products into
American markets also concerns the
committee, the report says. predict
ing that if this continues there Will
be more rapid depletion of the ranks
of the farmers than has been the case
even in the face Of adverse marketing
OF home products.
The report says that a revival OF
agriculture, with its consequent ad-
vantageous reaction on other lines,
would aid in providing employment
for hundreds Of thousands of men
now idle, and denies that the proposed
course would have the effect of ad-
vancing retail prices.
Foreign food products, it says, have
been and are being bought in at a
Exer basis Of cost, yet are being sold
at prices equal to the prices for which
the home products could be sold. Mid
dlemen and others in the trade are
taking the extra profit, it says.

gress appropriates for each separately
and not always with discrimination.
The Department Of Agriculture,
through the forest service, controls
the national forests. They are de-
voted to grazing and numbering and
contain about 156,OO0,OOo acres. AS
the national parks are created from
national forests, the Agricultural de-
partment has been opposing national
park legislation. Also the Agricultural
department has been openly campaign
ing to secure control of the national
parks By the transfer of the national
park service from the Interior de-
partment. AS part of this campaign
the forest service has been developing
national forests for recreation pur-
poses, In competition with the national
parks.
In addition to the 10 national parks
there are seven national military and
other parks under the control of the
War department: Chickamauga and
Chattanooga, Antietam, Shiloh, Get
tysburg, vicksburg. Lincoln's Birth
place and Guilford Courthouse.
There are SO national monuments.
Twenty-four are under the Interior
department, 10 under the Agricultural
department and two under the War
department.
The "a national monuments under
the Interior department were granted
an appropriation of but $12,5OO for
the calendar year of 1921, Instead of
$27, 900 asked by the national parl,
service. In 1920 the appropriation
was but $1,000. The result is that the
national park service is unable prop
erly to protect these monuments, to
say nothing of improving them.

congress does not appropriate money

The ACCESSIBILITY Of putting all the

one control is thus set forth by Direc-
tor Stephen T. Mather Of the national
park service:
"All Of the national park areas of
the country are Tot under the jurisdic-
ton Of the national park service, and
the time is at hand when the national
park system should be consolidated
under one head. Surprise is often
expressed at this anomaly. The ma
tional park service was created for
the express purpose Of administering
and developing, under the direction
of congress, all the great scenic at
fractions of our national domain.

why some Of these great national won

crease in the cost of living, it was
shown here in q comparison of the re-
suits OF series of surveys of wages
and prices made by the Department
of Labor.
Food prices now have decreased to
q point where the level is but So per
cent. above the level of 1913, accord
ing to the Department OF Labor's
price index. In June, 1920, the level
was 11s per cent. above the 1913
standard.
Wage increases in representative
trades range around 100 per cent, the
department reports show.
Workers in general, therefore, are
shown to be able to buy far more
than 10 months ago, when the peak
of high prices was reached with an
index figure that showed food prices
to be 1853 per cent. above the 1918
level The change in the economic
situation is believed to have bene-
fitted large majority of the $500,

now regularly employed. Compare.
lively few workers have agreed to
wage decreases. According to the
Census Bureau there are about 12,000,-

dustrial pursuits throughout the Unit
ed States. OF these, roughly 100000
now are idle or employed irregularly,
according to accounts made to the
United States Employment Service in
December The number of unemployed
is believed not to have changed ma
terially since then.
The survey Of wages covers hourly
rates of pay in " crafts up to the end
of 1920, and gives the average In
crease for each year, beginning with
1907.
The year 1913 is taken as the nor
NAL, and the average of wages for
that year in each craft is given as
100.
The price figures of the Labor De-
partment used in the comparison are
those relating to retail levels and are
collected and computed monthly by
the department. Here also the year
1918 is taken as normal, with an
index Of 100. The price survey covers
retail quotations OF % articles of
everyday table use. They represent
an average for the entire United
States and are based on prices
charged in grocery and meat stores
In more than so cities. The price fig
ures deal only with food. But food
is the largest single item in the ex-
penditures of the average American
householders. According to the Labor
Department the average American
family divided its income this way:
Food, 1872 per cent.
Clothing, 1855 per cent.
Housing, 1874 per cent.
Fuel and light, 5.3 per cent.
Furniture, 81 per cent.
Miscellaneous, 21.4 per cent.
These percentages rarely change,
according to department officials. The
wage schedule of the department
shows that of 70 trades studied, in
only eight was the percentage of wage

Santa Fe, N. NJ, that opens up the
whole national monument question.
DIR. Hewett's suggestion is contained
In an illustrated article in Art and
Archaeology, a magazine published BY
the Archaeological Institute of Amer
lea. In substance it is this:
ITO meet condition that exists all
over the Southwest, it is suggested
that under national monuments sec
tion of the act for the preservation
of American antiquities, it would be
feasible to establish national monu-
ments districts, in which all ruins of
a certain degree of Importance might
be set out and be protected by the
government. For example, from Mesa
Verde in Colorado and Aztec in New
Mexico to the Colorado river in Utah,
the San Juan valley, including large
number of tributaries, is region of
archaeological monuments. 1t seems
timely. to suggest to the National
Parks association and to the depart
ments of government having custo-
dianship of the antiquities on the pub
lie domain, that without withdrawing
a large area from settlement, the
most important ruins might be desig-
mated as units in national mOnu-
ments district, to be administered by
the national parks service. Parcels
of few acres will suffice in almost
every instance.
'tThe greater part Of these ruins are
on the public domain, and most of
those that are not might in some way
be brought under protection. It Is
probable that many private owners
would, if the matter were brought to
their attention, donate important sites
to the nation.
"The plan proposed for the protec-
tion Of the many ruins of the San
Juan valley would apply equally well
to the Rio Grande, ella and other
sections. The Pajarito plateau, and
the entire Jemez region to the west
are equally rich in ancient ruins.
in cases where ruins are on state
owned lands, as are old Pecos mission
and lin party Gran Quivira in New
Mexico, and numerous ruins on school
sections in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah
and Colorado, system of state monu-
ments might be established analogous
to the national monuments plan, and
administered in some cooperative
way"
