mere word Republican" is a panacea
for economic ills.
UP To Individual
However, the cofdition is here. Let
us now consider what politics can do
for It, and what the new administra-
ton can do for it. The first thing to
be said in any consideration is that no
politics and no administration and no
congress can do as much as the indi-
vidual can do. And must do for him.
SELF That, however. is material for
a different kind of homily.
The immediate plan of the admins
tration is first to revise the taxes.
Any sound revision, of taxes and any
sound refunding of the public debit
will, of course, help in the long run
and will be a benefit for years to
come. But there is no conceivable
revision of the taxes that will work
an immediate cure of the present sit
uation, nor even markedly affect it.
Revision of the taxes is merely a
thing that ought to be done and must
be done for it's own sake. Its rela-
ton to the present situation can only
be the beneficient but yet quiet effect
that sound principles of government
have at all times. But tax revision
ca n make little change in the present
acute distress in the farming COM
munities.
Tariff Is Needed
The next step in the plan of admin
istration is to pass a protective tariff.
This again cannot affect the present
condition from the point of view of
the accepted traditional purpose OF a
protective ia riff. 1t Is probable that
in years to come we shall need pro-
lection for our standard of living
more than ever before, because labor
abroad is going to be compelled to
work at wages which will make a
standard of living lower than had ex-
listed even in Europe within recent
genera tions and lower than has ever
existed in America-lower,-w we hope.
than ever will exist in America.
But for the immediate present a
protective tariff will be of no help. II
is idle to tell farmer who cannot
that he is about to be saved from
being compelled to sell it in compe
tition with foreign corn.
Must Revive Cycle
There is one thing. and one thing
:, only, that the administration can dc
to be of material help. That thing il
to start foreign trade moving. AS
Hoover expressed it the other day, the
normal cycle Of exchange of commodi
ties between producers and consumers
who are widely separated is paralyzed
and must be revived And when it is
said that this is a thing within the
power of the administration to accom-
.. plish, let not expectation 60 too far
1t is not within the power of the
new administration nor within any hui
man power, to bring back to the world
all the foreign trade that once existed

are dead, to the extent that these men

NETS $2,o55 PROFIT

A net profit of $2,O55.23 was real
lied by the local high school student
council as a result of the recent sec
tional basketball tournament held in
the Coliseum, according to detailed
report filed with Principal Bate. Sale

iting teams, and many other incident
ais totaled $1,172.
In accordance with the plan under
which the student activities in the
high school are carried on, the money
has been turned into the treasury Of
the student council. 1t will be used
for the purchase of things in which
the entire school will share.
Out of this money comes the money
with which the new band uniforms
were purchased. Athletic equipment,
books for the library. films for the
weekly chapels. honor letters. pins
and medals, and other things provided

Mr.. Meyer is the father of the idea
he believes in 1t, and by experience
and ability he is adapted to the work.
He will undoubtedly succeed in bring

which would otherwise remain in the

How we cling to tradition and old
expression! There is no such thing
in baseball as the pitchers box. There
has been no such thing this long, long
time. Yet not a day goes by that some
one does not refer to the fact that
Curver or Shooters has been knocked
out of the box like cantalaupes loosen
ed from crate. Some pitchers are
melons at that. The pitcher was
knocked out of the box away back in
the COS and never has returned 1t
was the cruelest knockout of baseball.
The pitcher pitches from a plate today
and it would be much more accurate
to say that he had slid from the
plate.
The members of the Brooklyns have
tried out the headguard invented by a
group Of Pittsburg men and have
found it wanting. 1t is like caps used
by ballplayers. and around the bottom
between the silk lining and cloth is
! rubber tubing. The chief fault found
! by the players is that it fails to protect
the vital spots on the head. Unless
! the cap is placed on one side of the
batter's head the temple is left IN
covered. Manager Robbie expects a
sample of the cork headgear invented
by Charlie Koran to be sent to the
camp. If it arrives the players will
experiment with it.

Looking over the list of scores of

game he wins. II Rudolph's arm is
right-and he says it is-he may earn
considerable money, for he is wise
little pitcher. and he also has what
the critics say is much better team
behind him than the one George Stall

any rate, Owner Grant has seen to
it that it is a more satisfied bunch Of
ball players.
