The organs of digestion, assimila-

What a great day it was recent
" for the farmers when Congress
extended the Emergency Tariff
law a few months longer. How
long does congress think they can
fool the farmers by such gold brick
methods? They would make be-
lieve that it's passage was to hold up
the price of American wheat, hogs,
cattle, etc. 1t is needless to state
that it has done no such thing.
Where is there the person who can
honestly say that this measure has
done the farmer the least good in
the world? Last May when the
emergency was passed wheat was
bringing about $3.50. A duty of 35c
per bushel was put on wheat, and
the result has been that the price
has been dropping until now it is
selling for about 81. What farmers
need is a broad foreign market
and least of all a restricted one,
such as this tariff has made. Some
body is getting the benefit of the
highest tariff ever built around any
industry in the q. S. A., not the
farmer though. He is getting it
where the turkey does the ak, just
before Thanksgiving.

THAT 1O-YEAR HOLIDAY

This country was somewhat star
led az the promptitude in which the
countries at the naval limitation
conference in Washington, fell in
with the policy OF Sec'y Hughes ten
wear naval holiday. But why should
they not? They had been threshing
out and had settled this very prob
lem at the Versailles peace confer
ence. This we learn was one of the
foremost provisions Of the League
of Nations. Sec'y Hughes knew
this, and he wrote his plan in such
a manner that it would not interfere
at all with the League. In fact the
Secretary's plan is practically the
same as that provided in the League
of Nations covenant. Article OF
the covenant says:
"The council, taking account
of the geographical situation
and the circumstances of each
state, shall formulate plans for
such reduction (of armaments)
for the consideration and action
of the several governments"
We find that Great britain, Japan,
France and Italy are represented in
the council of the League, and they
are also represented in the Wash
ington conference now in session
Had the United States joined the
League there would be no need oi
this conference at all, since it is
seeking to do the very things the
League would have done. The
League covenant also says that the
plan for armament reduction shall
be subject to reconsideration every
ten years. Since the naval holiday
now proposed is for ten years, the
fact is so extraordinary" that one
cannot help calling attention to it.
The source of Sec'y Hughes plar
was Woodrow Wilson. Let us hope
that Congress does not find this out
lest they visit it with a senatorial
curse.
