DESIRABLE LEGISLATION

"a FLEXIBLE tariff policy. and an industrial
\ tribunal have been the most discussed Suggestions
made by President Harding III his message to Con-
gress. fhc public recognizes and halls common sense
Legislation where ever II appears, and the unanimous
agreement reflected in the press upon these two issues
measures The need for both.
"A fixed tariff rate which may have been
fair and Just al the time OF its declaration may, IN six
months become under a developing change OF condl-
tionS either over-taNation OF mdcr-taXatlon with no
means Of relief. If a non-partlzan. or a bipartisan
tariff commission, could be appointed by congress with
power to make such adjustments as occasion demanded
it is hardly necessary 10 point out that constant adjust
ment could be made in exact ratio to prevailing condI-
tons, and there would be 10 waiting for months tor a
change that was justiiable Immediately.
While there may be objection from those who will
be wary Of turning over the tariff policy either TO a
mmissio or 10 the executive. the proposition OF I.ir:
Harding's regarding an industla! tribunal, will Ind
fewer dissenters. The fact that a somewhat similar
court was able 10 ward of one Of the most threatening
strikes in the recent controversy between tie railroad
operators and their employees, demonstrates the
efficiency Of such a body.
More and more the very necessities OF lie are in
dangered by the strike. The recent mix strike which
affected millions Of people, and the meat strike which
* now in progress and whose effect is being shown III
riiotipg, Mil serve to illustrate just how periousIy the
whole industrial world is X balanced. When a group OF
workers or a combined group Of workers can lie up
The transportation Of a nation, can cut of the food
supply Of the public. ii is high time that there should
Be some way Of handling such situations other than
leaving il to an embittcrcd. antaannisic body of
employers and employees.
An industrial tribunal where each side may air
difficulties and gel impartial attention. where abuses
NAV be ironed out while work proceeds as usual. IS
surely a better way to handle a situation wherein the
general public has always been the greatest sufferer.

THE coNsoRTlUM

A NEW term has been creeping into news reports.
( Ahas been employed most frequently in the Wash
ington Conference discussion regarding foreign invest
ments in China. The word is "consortium and its
meaning is obscure 10 most people. Because of lack
Of understanding the tenn has aroused suspicion and
tho "consortium" has been referred to as a Term mean
ing dollar diplomacy.
In order 10 cnlighten the public as 10 the Censor
tium and its purpose the New York I Eibunc explains
ii IN a lengthy editorial which says in part:
The consoruum IS in tie nature Of a financial
league Of peace. The principal nations which have
economic and financial relations with China in times
past have been under constant temptation to compete
qrccdily for priivHcgcs-ro their own injury and 10 the
dissatisfaction Of China. To end this unwhoIesome
rivalry financial groups Of the various nations said:
Let each Of US agree TO cease grabbing and hcncctorth
cooperate Hence the consorlium.
Under governmental auspices banking groups IN
the United States, Great Britain, France and Japan
came together and at a gathering in New York on
October IS. 1920. adopted tic consortiums eonst'-
tuition. This provided that the open doos principle
should be respected and that if China applied Tor
loans 10 carry through large economic DEVELOPMENTS
the application should not be to the flnancicrs OF par
GScular countries but 20 the joint organization. which
would aIlot The appropriate participation to ITS mem
hers. The financial statesmen were q year ahead OF
the political statesmen in striking at the heart O TIC
Chinese problem.

recorded the past year. The men who are building
cars for the public claim that the automooile ITSELF

with pedestrians. and bicyclists, and others who

DANGEROUS STATE OF MIND

From the Arkansas Gazette
 NJ HBERT K. CHESTERTON, Eng W 7 slish author and lecturer whose
 >S unusual mind often takes a whimsical slant, has been in Ardmore, Okla, recently. He says he was drawn there by the lure of fine plot for story, the same being the Clara Smith Jake Hamon affair Commenting on the case, Chesterton said "In England we would have been reluctantly forced to hang the young woman. The homicide rate in England is disgustingly low for hard-working detective story writer in search of plot from real life
 Gilbert is kidding us. Gilbert knows the homicide rate is disgustingly low in England because the stupid English be- lieve in enforcing the law. Over there murders are followed by hangings. In America murders too often are followed by acquittal or by inadequate punish ment. So it happens that the murder record of this country is a national dis grace. Compared to the murder record of England, it all but shows us as saw ages For instance, there were more murders in. one year in Shelby county Tennessee, in which is the city of Mem phis, than in all of England, and 1t

Field Made . Fortune
 With Minstrel Shows

rfr HE death of Al G. Field removes H the last of the minstrel kings. For more than 30 years his company was the most popular and the most successful organization of it's kind in America. Its. annual tours were almost invariably profitable from a financial point of view. Other min- strel organizations came and went. Most of them failed for one reason or another, but Al G. Field kept on and made fortune. His career was striking contract to the careers of many of his contemporaries. Some of them were better comedians than Mir. Field, but they lacked his busi- ness acumen. It was not as a per- former that he was most successful, but as manager and producer.

wasn't such a corking good year fol murders in Shelby county at that
 Mir. Chesterton might find entertain ment, as well as subject matter for most interesting lecture. If he went mor' deeply into American murder trials. He would find little to justify to slop over ir sympathy for the murderer and the mur. dererts family, Forgetting justice as wei as sympathy for the murdered and the family of the murdered. He would fint that the frequent miscarriages of justice in the United states in the trials of mur- derers is due in great measure to a state of mind rather than to the failure of the judges and prosecuting attorneys to do their duty.
 What we lack in this country is crystalized public sentiment that de. mahds prompt and rigid enforcement oi the law particularly in cases of mur. der. What we have is state of minc that shades everything for the murderer. or the theory, apparently, that the mur- dered is dead and won't come back this way, so there is no need to make the murderer's family suffer unnecessarily
 The law will never be enforced prop. erly in the United States until this state of mind is changed.
