THE FARM TARIFF BILL AND
COTTON.

The farm tariff bill that was vetoed
by President Wilson, but which will
be repassed by Congress and signed
by President Harding, provides heavy
tariffs on lemons and olives. thus
pI otecting the California. Florida and
Texas industries having to do with
the raising of these fruits; and also
protects sugar and wool, working
for the benefit of Louisiana growers
of sugar and the beet sugar indus
~ u northerly and western states.
The bill also, of course, aims TO help
the wool growers including those
who raise wool largely "on the side"
The wool grower is in a peculiar
situation. There is said to be more
wool in the country at present than
is being used. The wool is in stor-
age. So long as manufacturers can
make "all wool" goods that are only
partly wool the market for wool in
this country will not be much helped
by tariff, it is claimed by compet-
ent observers. A law compelling more
wool in wool clothes would do the
trick.
But what concerns Herald readers
most is legislat lion that will boost
the price Of cotton. If the United
States imported cotton to any con-
siderable eX ent a high protective
tariff would help, but unfortunately
just at It's time the United States
cannot Xport much Of the big sur
plr II has on hand. Therefore it can
be aiken for granted that there will
ne no tariff legislation affecting cot
ton.
The cotton farmer being in a class
b. himself must depend largely or
his own resources. Curtailment oi
acreage is his only hope. Nothing that
congress could do would be of any
immediate benefit. The buying pow
er of Europe is at its lowest ebb, and
it is doubtful if the United States
could raise money enough to put Eu
rope on its feet again any time soon
The Improvement must come slowly
and in the meantime the cotton far
mer must make up his mind to take
care OF himself.

Though railroad executives and Of
ficials are opposed to government
ownership of the roads, some OF them
admit that the only way out of the
present chaos in the transportation
industry is increased governmental
supervision. President Harding is ex-
pected to send a message to Congress
which will practically suggest in
creased federal control. AS the rail
roads have been getting millions of
dollars from the government it is
logical to assume that the govern
mlent should have some say in man
aging the roads. especially as neither
the railroads nor the employees seem
able TO agree on practical method

The U. S. Steel Corporation is in

Its profits during the war years were

1t had surplus left of only $780,

In connection with the reported seiz-

Sicily, owned by absentee landlords,
the National Geographic society has
issued from its Washington, D. c.
headquarters the following bulletin
concerning the largest island of the
Mediterranean:
Land beloved of the gods and bat
tlc-grOund of West and East, the later
history of Sicily has had much to do
in making the history of modern Eu-
rope" says the bulletin, which is
based on a communication to the So
ciety by Mrs. George c. Bosom, Jr.
1T is as peaceful now rs its bill

"Phocnicians, Greeks, Carthaginians,
Romans, Vandals, Saracens, Normans,
Spanish Savoyards. BourbOns Carl
baldi, Italians-these have fought and
ruled in sunny Sicily from 1876 b. G.
until this year of grace Is it any
wonder that Goethe declared Sicily
to be the key to all'-of mythology,
tradition, history, of archaeology,
poetry, and Natures perfect beauty?
Perfect Greek Temples.
"The Parthenon at Athens has been
wrecked and crushed by earthquakes
and Turkish bombs, but in Sicily one
may see Greek Temples in nearly per-
feet grandeur.

among those Corinthian columns

Etna in its majesty, a pearly cone
against the dazzling azure; tawny
rocks and gray old town, splashes
of pink where almonds bloom, and
glossy green of lemon trees for miles
and miles and miles.
There is perhaps no place in Eu-
rope which has such a distant indi-
viduality as Syracuse possesses. 1t
is so easy, when one sees 1t, to I'M
derstand its history, since so many
important incidents occurred fIvm its
