Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver ID again
making the request that a. many
citizens - possible give work at
these Jobs to men whose families
are destitute.
The mayor said that his request
has nothing to do with the building
|tradesmen situation and that as far
AZ he knows there are none OF these
men who are in need of help, but
there are hundreds Of men in the
city who are in need and that now
Is the time for the giving Of aid.
The city has been doing its best
to help out men on jobs cleaning
the alleys. Over five hundred men
have applied for these jobs and al
though a shift system is. being
worked. no man working longer
than two days, the city can not give
all work, as the cleaning will be
finished in another week.

taking charity and only ask the op-
pOrtunity to work.

The mayor says that he knows
that most persons do their owl
housekeeping and garden work
but that there are many who car
afford to hire men in need to do this

ing and that if they did they woult
not hesitate to take advantage o.
this opportunity to give worl
around their premises.

THE SOUTH AND PROTECTION

While the Herald believes in the good old Dem
ocratic doctrine of free trade SO long as it is uni
versaly applied throughout the country. it is
unaterably opposed to the south being a free
trade section for all outgoing goods and pro
tective-tarf section for all incoming goods. If
to pay an ncr@sed price for the cloth
ing, machinery, material and food which. we
bring into the state, demand an increased
profit on all citrus fruits vegetables and other
articles which we send out. 1t would be fool
hardy for us to live up to principle which is
dsregarded by the balance of the country--Mami
Herald.
The above is a fair sample of the plausible but
superficial logic by which protection interests
seeking to seduce the south from its traditional free
trade faith.
Notice the Herald believes in free trade.
Upon what grounds may we ask? Democrats for
the past hundred years have presented two great
objections to protection. CD 1t is dishonest (2)
1t is an unsound economic scheme, defeating its
own ends In the long run by concentrating wealth
and reducing the purchasing power of the public.
Which of these principles does the Herald &C
cept? Does it believe that it is intrinsically and
eternaIy dishonest to tax the many for the benefit
of the few? If so, it willing to go on record as
advocating dishonesty because the other fellow
is doing t2' Does it believe the second conten-
hon. that high tariff produces millionaires and pau
pers divides society into two casses-grafters and
victims-and builds communities of palaces and
soup houses? Does it believe that protection is
one of the greatest elements in the inequality of
wealth and opportunity In this country which
threatens the very existence of our institutions? If
it believes that how can ii consistently seek to i'm
pose on the south the conditions which it condemns
in the north?
OF course, if the Herald believes in protection
rejects all the postuates of free rade-then it can
with propnety argue for protection in the south
but there is no way under the sun whereby it can
hold fast to free trade doctrines and yet justify
a demand for protection

THE SPEAKER

The man who wants to make speech infests
all towns in which dwell The stalks along the
lonely beach, and fingers in the sylvan dell; for
years I've tried in vain to reach a pac ewhere he
won't come and yell. He speaks, and will not be
denied, wherever there is standing room, his
mouth is ever yawning wide and mutipies the
public gloom. and when a delegate has died, he
talks circle round the tomb. see him
soapbex stand and hear him howl until he's
hoarse. predicting that native land will be the
home OF all that's coarse unless the government
is canned, and Russian notions put in force.

stately prose Of sages who have deigned to write;

saving thought in sight. If he'd but quit when
he is done. we might forgive him now and then

Sheriff Baker of Palm Beach county, has resigned

Sheriff Allen of Dade county, follows with
statement that if he is compelled to stop Sunday
baseball he will shut down everything that is

THE PRICE OF WAR
L. of N. C. News Letter. ,

=. ~. Y.
The nations of the world are not likely to do
anything with the problem of disarmament until
the masses begin to have some acute realization
of the terrific money cost Of And it looks
palmer than pikestaf that western civilization
win either disarm or go into Bankruptcy How
could it be otherwise?
The federal income of he United States was
last year close to six billion dollars. Directly
and indirectly the federal government Fevies
tax upon the people of the United States of nearly
ffty-four dollars per inhabitant counting men.
women. and children; nearly two hundred and
seventy dollars year per family. For the most
part this federal tax burden is paid indirectly. in
small amounts, few cents at time but, all in
all, it is paid, and the total approaches three hun
dred dollars year per family.
Nearly sixty-eght per cent of our federal in
come is spent for interest on debt. Twenty
five per cent OF it goes for current military ex-
pendtures, army and navy.
Which is to say. ninetythree per cent of all
federal taxes account of past or future
wars
Only six per cent of the total goes for govern
ment functions-the salaries of federal Office hold!
ers from the president down, and for public
works-pubic buildings, harbor improvements,
good roads and so on. And only one per cent
goes for education, health, research agriculture,
forest protection, and the like; for conservation
and development in general 20
Less than one per cent of every dollar goes for
agricultural education and promotion.
In other words but for past wars and prepare
ton for future wars, our government could be
run for about per cent of what we are now
paying-for 1886 cents per inhabitant instead OF
$53.72.
We can stand this burden perhaps longer than
any other country in Christendom The Old World
countries are about to collapse under their bur-
den of war debt and current war expenditures.
J. Ellis Barker the distinguished English econo-
mist nothing but inevitable bankruptcy for
Europe this score.
There can be no peace on earth to men Of good
will SO long civilization is based on war and
preparations for war.
Billions for war! The end Is bankruptcy i'll
escapabe bankruptcy for Europe, and Almost as
certainty for America.
