FIGHT ON TARIFF
PLAN IS FORESEEN
Basing the Duties on Prices
of Goods Here Stirs
Opposition.
BY n. O. MESSENGER.

1t is evident at the outset that the
agreement of the republicans of the
House and Senate to essay to put
the wholesale price of goods in this
country. instead OF the price abroad
will be vigorously fought. While the
understanding is that the agreement
was practically unanimous in the
conference last evening. its effectua-
tion is classed as fraught with diff
Guilty.
The first objection to the plan, which
will be urged by low tariff republi-
cans as well as democrats. is the
charge that the new tariff legislation
is in the hands of the New England
coterie. representing the extreme
country. 1t is alleged that the plan
looks to the interests of the Ameri-
can manufacturer solely, without re-
gard to expansion of foreign trade.
and with no thought of the ultimate
consumer.
In Temporary Measure.
The fact that it is to be but a tenn
porary measure pending later scien-
tific revision Of the tariff is held to be
no amelioration from the claim as
serted that the change in policy will
enable the high sprotsetionists when
they get to work on the permanent bill
to put into effect rates which though
no, higher IN sum than the Payne AID
rich rates. will, In fact. be much higher
In effect: q ''camouiage proposition it
ia charged.
The statement is made that the in
crease in the actual protection will in
cases run as high as several hundred
pei cent, owing to the difference in ex-
change conditions. The new plan will
bear heaviest against imports from
Germany, less oppressively upon Eng
land and France and still less oner-
ously upon Japan. according to pres
ent exchange conditions.
Consumer Will Pay.
The consumer will pay. it is stated
the proposition it is likewise contend
ed that il the consumer is not taxed
American Industries will be over
whelmed. will languish. throwing men
out Of work. and in the extinguish-
ment of American shops put the coun.
try finally at the mercy of foreign
manufacturers.
One instance in support Of this pro-
posed protection Of American indus
tries is cited in the case Of American
war this home industry was built up
extensively. Now. it is testified. Ger
man-made gloves Of this type are sold
at retail cheaper than the cost Of manu-
featuring them in this country.
The New York importers are expected
to oppose the proposition. In this con-
nection it is recalled that in the tarifY
hearings the board Of general apprais-
ers was not favorable to 1t. 1t is urged
against it that it will make a difference
ing price at the port of entry or the
price at interior points, and whether the
rates are fixed as of the date Of entry
or the date of purchase. Months might
elapse, it is urged, between the date Of
purchase and the date Of delivery, with
consequent important market fluctua-
tions.
The proposed new plan has the ap-
proval of Thomas o. Marvin. secre-

CUT DOWN THE
EXPENSE OF ALL
GOVERNMENT
Postmaster General Hays Recon-.
mends a General Program
OF Economy In All
Civic Affairs.

Postmaster General Hays made the
following remarks on business condi-
tons at luncheon given by the Wash
ington Rotary Club on August 10, 1921,
The last sentence of these remarks
which is capitalized, was received
with great enthusiasm by the Rotar-
ians.
II would like to fill the country with
the Spirit Of Rotary.
There is lot Of business that Is
really sick, still staggering with the
shell shock of war and the debauch Of
extravaganza, but there is a good deal
more that Is merely malingering. What
we need more than anything else is
the common sence Of courage and con-
fidence. There is, of course, the great
est era Of expansion and prosperity
ahead that the world has even SEEN
Everyone knows this and the only
question discussed is when 1t will
start. Well, it's time to go out and
meet 1t.
LET US HAVE LESS OF THOU
SHALT NOT AND MORE COME ON,
LET'S Coz"
At the same luncheon the Postmas-
ter General made the following sug-
gcstion concerning campaign wheich
no proposed should be iDaugurated by
the Rotarians throughout the country
to extend economy in town, city, town.
ship, county, and state expenditures.
The Washington Rotary Club unan-
imously adopted his suggestion and |
will recommend it to the International
Rotary Clubs for action.
You are familiar with the Presi-
dents purpose to lower the expenses
of the Federal Government to the ir-
reducible minimum This is neces-
sary and will be done.
The expenses Of the Federal Govern
ment, however, constitute but part of
the expenses Of government.
The authorities in control in our
town, cities, townships, counties and
states just as certainly owe similar
service to the situation.
In very few instances this service
is being attempted, but there is no sys-
tematc effort whatever in this direc-
ton.
The total expenditures of the towns,
cities, townships, counties and states
excel those of the Federal Govern
ment, except only the payments on the
already contracted war Indebtedness
which cannot be avoided.
The opportunities for economy are
Just as great.

They have asked you how your last baby was thriving, and they have agreed with you that the city. state and national affairs have been carried on with absolutely no intelli- gence by public officials
 It matters not to them whether they have helped those officials gain their offices. They are sincere in their agreement with you, if you are voter, and the tears they have shed with you have been not all crocodile tears.
 Incidentally, they are the men who have spent many hours and days and years working for you Often their hearts are so big that they break through the tough skin of their cro- codile bodies and almost are they tempted to forget that they are poli- ticlans and become human beings in order that in n>your case, at least, jus tice may be done

 Little Girl I have seen you now and then With a care-free sort O. smile
 In your eye, And your laughter seemed to yell: Let the old world go to - well, ( Let the old world run pell mell.
 Care not r. You have looked at me and laughed
 More than once, While old Time was tracing lines
 With his months, Making marks upon my face, Like some interwoven lace Such as you would never trace On a dunce. So, I know I'm growing old, Day by day, When I see you drawing nigh, On the way To your trysting place with him Who is known as Sunny Jim, Who is clever, young, and slim, And so gay. Were I younger but I'm not, And it's cruel would challenge Sunny Jim To a duel. would fight him to the death, Till freed him of his breath And as Scripture sometimes saith, Turned him fuel.
