not pay a1y tax directly in the-way of
a real estate tax, but his rent rises au-
tomatically as the tax on real estate

Majority leaders are planning to
make an upward revision of the tariff
the first undertaking of the new con-
;-ress when it assemblies in extra ses-
sion. In the past always it has been
urged that a high tariff was needed
in order to maintain high standard
OF American wages. But at this time
1t generally Is agreed that wages al
ready are so high as to be a drawback
to business progress and prosperity, so
the only excuse left for an increase in
duties is that it will enable producers
TO sell at higher prices. The truth is
that this has always been the sole OBJ
ject of a tariff. The suggestion re-
garding a maintenance of high wage
schedules was put forward for the
purpose of attracting votes. With ev-
cry increase in wages there has ever
been a corresponding advance in the
cost of living. 1t will continue to be
so. There is no escape, since tho costs
of the necessaries of life are based on
the labor cost.

There is always burden to bear
There is always a task to face,
There's never a day that comes our way
And never a sunny place
But knows the shadow of sorrow too.
For life is made up of things to do.
We cannot forever smile
Nor always be light of heart.
And foolish the man who thinks he can
Escape from the sterner part;

Must come TO trouble and bear its blow.
Not ever the sun shall. shine

And never q man shall live life's years

KEEPING PRICES HIGH.

4 statement by Secretary of Com
MERGE Hoover that-definitive figures
on this countrys foreign trade, for
February would show that Imports
OF goods already in large supply here
were increasing alarmingly has been
followed by tho announcement that
the Republican members of the house
ways and means committee and tho
senate finance committee. with the
approval OF President Harding. have
agreed upon the passage OF an emer-
-gency tariff bill as the first item on
the legislative program of the special
session of congress called for next
month
Mr.. Hoover sees indications of a
contering of world shipments upon
American markets because of the high
prices prevailing here and the desire
to obtain dollar credits. He declared
that Notwithstanding the large sur
piuses of such domestic goods as cot
ton. wool, food products and other
primary commodities, foreign impor-
tations Of these same commodities are
being received steadily. In his opinion
tariff legislation is apparently the
only alternative now visible to stem
this flood of foreign commodities
coming to compete with domestic sur
piuses for sale in American markets.
1t has been decided therefore, it is
said. TO repass. without change, the
tariff bill vetoed by President Wilson,
except that its period of operation will
be reduced from a year to six months.
The program as announced also con-
templates the enactment of an anti
dumping law to prevent dumping of
foreign goods on American markets
until the tariff schedules can be in
creased.
The cry for a reduction of living
costs has been general and loud ever
since the close of the war, yet every
( thing tending to bring about such re-
duction is fought vigorously by some
special interest. The truth seems to
he that American producers find
themselves in possession of lot OF
high cost goods and high cost pay
rolls. necessitating that they sell at
