AGAIN TO TALK
GARBAGE PLAN
Officials May Recommend
Installation of Second
lncinerator
MAY NOT FORCE
WRAPPING IDEA

A conference will be held tonight
on the garbage situation by the mem
mers Of the City Board OF Health
and city Council. sitting In commit
tee Of the whole. The meeting will
take place in the large committee
room OF Council in the Public Build
ing.
Although officials of the Health
Board decline to discuss In advance
their object in requesting tonight's
conference, II is understood that the
board will ask Councils approval
OF plans for the erection OF an addi-
tional municipal incinerating plant.
In his recent report to Council
]. II. Gregory. the expert from Johns
Hopkins University. engaged by
Mayor Harvey 10 make survey Of
the garbage situation. recommended
an additional plant like that Of the
Nye incinerator now used by the
city, which cost $4,000. He advo-
Gated further that the plant should
be capable OF dispos.ng OF fifty tons
Of garbage and rubbish daily. and
should be ready for operation by
next May.
Although the Mayor and members
Of the Health Board and Council
who visited Trenton. \. j.. were
much impressed by the method OF
wrapping garbage employed there. il
is questionable II any effort will be
made. at present at least. TO enforce
such a plan here. Speaking OF the
Trenton method, a prominent city
official said today:
Wrapping Of garbage Is far more
sanitary and cleanly than the loose
manner in which refuse Is now col
rected from householders. Every
good citizen should desire that his
home should he maintained in the
cleanest manner possible. We wrar
all garbage at my own home. and
know Of scores OF other people who
do the same thing. The result is
that our garbage pals are clean
neat and dry.
III wrapping OF garbage. however
should be put into effect Throughout
the entire city, more collections shal
have to be made each week by tn,
Street and Sewer Department. a.
wrapping serves TO increase the bull
OF refuse considerably and garbag'
cans now owned by most house
holders would not contain It unles
more frequent collections were made
1T Is a curious fact" continue,
the official, that the collection bust
ness is kept in the background
Whenever IL has been brought ul
heretofore, such questions as th'
working capacity OF the incinerato
or rumored quarrels between Coun
Gil and the Health Board have beei
raised. Apparently the purpose
to keep the collection system in tn
background as much as possible"

A High Tariff Will Not Bring
ProsneritY.

1t is greatly to be feared that those
sanguine souls who are looking for
| the Fordney tariff measure to hasten
the return of that much desired period
| OF normally" are doomed to disap-
pointment. In one view of the case
it will prove beneficial. That is, it
will introduce an element of certainty
into business operations. It is reason
ably sure to remain in force until an
other political upheaval shall change
the complexion of Affairs in Washing
ton. That it will come eventually is
| certain. 1t may be FASTENED, or it may
be retarded by the workings of this
very tariff, which its advocates claim
is 'the Magma Charta of the Ameri-
can standard of living" But when
the tariff is once adopted whether
for good or i'll, it will remain in force
until the complexion of congress has
changed and that will mean two years
at least. The fact that the tariff has
been made the football of politics has
always been detrimental to business.
Business can adjust itself to a bad
policy, even, if it can be certain that
it will be stable for any length of
IlIIlS' II - the INSTABILITY lldL IS ueL-
rimental.
An esteemed exchange in signifying
it's acceptance of the inevitable says
in discussing the tariff, lets make
it of uniform height and applicable
to all commodities" forgetful of the
fact that such a tariff would find no
advocates. A tariff that benefited
and cost all men alike would be de-
sired by nobody. 1t is the chance of
getting some advantage over the 9TH
er man that makes a tariff attractive
to the freebooters of big business. If
you doubt this watch congress when
the making of a tariff is IN hand. Note
how the cormorants and buzzards of
business gather round and insist on
protection for their pet industries. Old
Man People is the only one not rep
resented, and he is the only one who
pays the bills.
The only excuse for a tariff is the
raising of revenues. If the tariff is
too low, it will not raise enough rev.
enue, neither will it if it is too high
The happy medium must be struck
if the full success as a. revenue raiser
is to be expected. There is another
danger which the tariff tinkers must
look out for. If it advances the cost
of living too much the people will raise
in their wrath and snite the makers
at the next opportunity. They are
very sensitive about the h.cl Just
now, and the tariff makers will do
well to bear that in mind-Tampa

THE FoRDNEY TARIFF

Although the adoption OF high
protective tariff for a few industries
may seem desirable. the Fordney Tar
iff Bill has been subject to much un-
favorable criticism, states the current
issue of 1.-THE Guaranty Survey" a re-
view of worldwide business and fl
nancial conditions published monthly
by the Guaranty Trust Company OF
New York.
1.-THE American valuation plan has
likewise been the subject of serious
criticism" continues The Survey.
"Unnder this plan the duty is based
upon the value of similar articles in
the American market, instead of upon
the cost of the article to the importer.
The purpose of this innovation in the
law is to equalize the duty as between
countries the value of whose curren-
eies fluctuate widely and also to Sc
cure the full benefit of the results,
which the protective ad velorem duties
are designed to produce.
"Ad valorem levies, as compared
with specific duties, are liable to veri-
able and arbitrary Interpretation Ow-
I ing to the absence of fixed duties, the
calculations of importers would be
subject to additional uncertainty. with
the consequence that they would have
to allow larger margins of profit, to
the detriment of consumers. More
over, as foreign goods increase in
cost to- the importer by reason of the
appreciation of exchange, this scheme
would operate more promptly to de-
bar them from our markets than
would duties based upon valuations.
The intrinsic merits of revival of
this method of valuation. therefore,
are extremely doubtful.

THE COST OF GOVERNMENT.

Clearly the most important matter
for the United States, as indeed it is
for all countries, is the discovery of
ways and means for making govern
ment cheaper for the people. Already
a beginning has been made in this di-
rection, for the budget system has
been put in operation with General
Dawes as director, and President Har-
ding has announced plans for an in
ternational conference to consider dis
armament and the question of the
Pacific. If the budget and disarma-
ment plans can be prosecuted with
the success which all hope for them,
great progress will have been made
in the direction Of cutting down gov
ernmental expenditure.
On the other hand, taxation has
received little consideration in this
congress, although in view of the
present reimbursement there is no
reason why the question of taxation
should await decreasing expenditure.
Our present tax system is a burden
which ought to be lightenen through
readjustment, if it cannot be lightened
through n lowering of rates. The
ANtsnNACkA "a AAit ScNtA , lCNeAlutg
which affects so many adversely at
this time, should receive more active
attention than has yet ben given TO
it,
1t would bring added financial and
economic difficulties to inflict the pay
ment of a soldiers bonus upon tile
taxpayers at this time. The assump-
tion of such colossal obligation now
by means of loans would inevitably
occasion new initiation, unwarranted
increase in the cost of living, and fur
Their indus rial and unemployment.
1t should be remembered that gov
ernmental expenditures for 1920 ex-
ceeded those from 1891 to 1865. in
elusive, a period of 70 years, and the
financial problem confronting the
treasury which means the taxpayers
in the immediate future is so serious
as practically to make impossible the
necessity for raising of from $780,
100000 to $4,000. 10000 additional TO
pay soldiers bonus.

and perhaps not very many, speaking
broadly, care much. The Irish settle
ment, if there is to be one. will be
hailed with delight. The terms of the
settlement, however vital they may
seem to specially interested groups in
this and other countries, will mean
little to three quarters of the world.
Under the circumstances, one cannot
help wondering just why the prin-
cipals in the matter chose July IA for
their initial conference. OF course,
they planned their truce in the hope
that it would be observed, but they
might have known better. Almost any
other week in the year except the
third week in March would have Of

inauguration of negotiations.-St. Au-

faster than the church. The popula-
ton Of the country is not growing so
rapidly. No other agency is doing
the magnificent work for humanity
that the church is doing and no or
ganization on earth, no civic govern
ment. or other, is gaining i'm strength
and force as is the church in this
country today.
These figures will clear the mind
of some doubtful Thomases who have
been impressed with the cry that the
church was failing. The church is
not falling behind, but is leading the
procession everywhere in this country.
