FARM TARIFF PASSES
House UNAMENDEb
Bill Vetoed BY Former President VIII
son Passes House As II Comes
From Senate.

Washington, April l6.-Unamended
the emergency tariff bill combining
the farmers tariff measure, vetoed by
President Woodrow Wilson, with the
anti-dumping bill, was passed in the
House late Friday by vote of 269 to
112.
Despite strenuous efforts by the
Democrats to divide the large Repub-
lican majority by a cry of sectional
ism. the first House legislative act of
the special session was accomplished
by an almost united Republican vote
There was little real interest mani
tested in the two days debate. With
the exception Of the exchange valua-
tion section the bill had been thor
oughly discussed in the last session
and the speeches for the most part
we're directed against the section
which aims to correct the difference Of
exchange rates or were partisan in
character.
Most of the day was devoted tC
political efforts on the part of the
Democrats to make their position
clear for the November election neXt
year and to break the Republican
party into factions.

Ample production we know promotes
public and private interests, gives en-
ployment' to labor, adds to incomes OF
the government, builds cities, helps to
clear the wilderness, pays freight;
but to bring about all of these deslr-
able conditions and in order that the
public may be benefited it is essential
that the individual be benefited-that
is, produce proftably.
It has been fully considered that
ample production is public gain and
gives to business greater activities oy
bringing into action more persons
with greater amount and variety OF
talent; but in the Judgment Of those
who are closest to the situation, upon
whom rests the burden of solution OF
this problem, and who should there
fore be entitled TO voice, no good
end can be served by the indefinite
piling up of a surplus of cotton or OF
any commodity for which no demand
exists. The South has already passed
through more than one notable era
of: five-cent cotton and the disastrous
effect in the form of mortgages, I'M
poverished land and stock, tumble
down schools, ETC., are still fresh IN
the minds of the people. No sane
man, farmer or banker, contends that
land or labor should be idle, but sure
ly the producer will be guilty of no
if he elects to divert a
greater proportion of his energy to-
ward the production of other crops as
essential in their way as cotton and
for which he may find market that
will allow him fair return on his IN
vestment. Any article, no matter how
Inherently valuable, for which no
adequate demand exists may be CON
sidered, to the extent of the unusu-
able surplus, worthless one, and it
should be difficult to persuade the in
telligent cotton planter or his finan-
cial hacker that it would be advisable
to continue to bend his unrewarded
efforts toward the production of such
an article until such time as supply
and demand come once more INTO ap-
prpximate relation.

We live at time when the COM
merce of the world seems to be touch
ing a new era, when the energy Of
man is being tested to point here
tcfore unconceived, and business is
about to acquire activity beyond all
previous example, and never before
in history was there more need for
broad-minded men of calm and sober
judgment than today.
Let us hope that we are not 10 wit
ness another "fool's paradise such
as we have had for the last few years.
What we need is fewer soap-box ora
tors, strict economy in the operation
of Federal and state government
public improvements within our
means, less government in business,
quicker and more businesslike solu-
ton of the imp ortant problems before
our Federal legislators, less uneasi-
ness about the effects of prohibition,
a substantial reduction of our present
heavy burden of taxation, which IS
weighing down business, and which IS
nothing short of the redistribution OF
wealth by means of taxation, and last
but not least, the complete annlhila-
ton of all socialistic principles and
tendencies 50 much in evidence Of

minutest excess or deficiency in the
supply of any article Of human want
produces proportionate effect on the
exchange or buying power of all other
articles. If, as consequence of lg-
norance or lack of forethought or Ill
advice, this inviolate economic pfln-
ciple of supply and demand be made
light of; if we fail to follow that lamp
by which our feet have been guided
for wears, we all become sufferers in
common cause.
The, full economic effect Of an III
advised reduction in acreage has not
been overlooked by those whose duty
it is to advise the cotton producer OF
the South. 1t is folly to presume or
to conclude that only the interest OF
the cotton farmer is at stake in this
problem. The banker realizes that
capital is the handspring Of the busi-
ness operations of civilized society
and functions properly only when
employed to yield a profit. The in
! exorable law Of supply and demand
| is at once and alone the necessity FOR
acreage reduction. The plea for re-
duction is not made with any idea of
bringing about imitation. Exaggerated
and even false views prevail on this
subject and may do infinite mischief.
