VIRTUE IN A SURPLUS

WASHINGTON-"If Messrs. Leni1
and TrOtsky and their fellow Bolshe-
visits in the United States would listen
to reason they would find some rather
convincing facts in the recent finan-
cial statement of a large corporation
engaged in the manufacture of rail-
way locomotives" declares the Re
publican Publicity Association, thru
its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr. According to that statement this
concern is in strong financial position
Notwithstanding the large amount of
credits extended during the past year
Ability to weather business de-
preston with such satisfactory re-
suits to stockholders may be attribut-
ed to the enterprise and foresight of
President Vauclain who utilized his
large surplus to get business on a de-
ferred basis -
"As everybody knows, there was a
great depression in various lines of
manufacturing industry due to lack
of orders. The lack of orders was not
due to lack of demand but to lack of
money. A concern that was in a po-
sition to extend credit could get or
ders and this was done by the loco
motive company just mentioned The |
company had built up large surplus /
out of net earnings and, to use a COM /
mon expression, kept this surplus for
use 'On rainy day.
"Messrs. Lenin and Trotsky and
their Bolshevik friends in the United
States do not believe in surpluses.
They would have the Government con-
fscate not only the surplus but the
capital itself. Many others who would
not entirely confiscate the capital or
Ill of the surplus, would, neverthe-
ess, impose an almost confiscatory
ak which would leave a corporation
Without surplus funds on which to ex-
end credit during a depression.
"It will be noted that the financial
tatement quoted says that this cred-a
business was done with advantage
o the stockholders. It might also
ave said just as truthfully that it
as done with advantage to wage ear
ers. Without that surplus the con-

zone Of the biggest subjects and
most important covered by the Presi-
dent is the tariff. In a general way, he
would have a permanent tariff law
passed at once and give more power
to the Federal Tariff Commission to
straighten out the details. Enemies of
a protective tariff law, that is, a law
that would keep cheap articles from
being dumped into this country from
foreign countries to undersell our own
products, feel that this would be hard
on some of the countries suffering
from the war. President Harding be-
lieves that there are sufficient means
to avoid extreme exclusion of foreign
products, or the reverse, which would
be the flooding of our markets with
the same products. He would have
provisions that would give the Presi-
dent power to modify rates after rec
concentrations from the tariff commits
siCn, so that the United States can
keep on buying as well as selling and
at the same time protect our markets, |
our labor, and our industries from a
flood of cheap goods from Europe. !
This plan is the most sensible that |
could be proposed. The status of fore |
ign finances and industry must be
studied before hard and fast rules can
be laid down. 1t would mean that
rates would be changed to meet chang
ng conditions of the world. Under
such an arrangement a permanent
ariff law can be framed and put on
)ur books.
"An interesting fact regarding this
Message of President Harding is that
was the first time in years that
congress listened to a presidential

rst time in years that President ad-
ressed Congress when the United

funded and power granted so that he
can settle the minor problems grow
ing from this debt. Naturally, as he
said, he would do nothing as to final
settlement without the approval of
Congress.
These matters are all important
but one of the most significant things
about his whole address, was the way
in which he stated his feelings re-
garding the powers of the chief ex-
ecutive and those of Congress. He
not only does NOT want more power
but he feels that the powers of the
President are too great now. Let me
read that part of his address to you.
1t is certainly refreshing to hear
President who knows that he does not
know it all, and besides is not only
willing to listen to the advice of those
who know more than he does on GER

The wind was blowing harder anC

been having the time of their lives all
day-ever since early morning, when
they awoke to see the world covered
with white blanket, they had been
rOmping, sliding and making a huge
snow man. Now they were huddled
before the open fire-tired, but with
rosy cheeks and the satisfaction that
comes after a day outdoors and a
hearty dinner. All that remained to
make the day perfect was a story
from Uncle Ted, and he had promised
that at dinner.

Germ would not have been able to ex-
tend credit; there would have been
fewer orders for locomotives; con-
structiOn Of locomotives would have
been curtailed and the workmen
would have been thrown out of en-
plOyment. Instead of that, the locomo-
tive works were operated on credit
orders and the men received compen-
sation at very slightly under war
time wages.
1t is pertinent to remark also in
this connection, that if this locomO-
tive organization had been operated
on the Plumb Plan, with control by
the workers, there would have been
no surplus built up. The management
selected by the workers, desirous of
currying favor with the workers by
making monthly incomes as large as
possible, would have distributed the
surplus in the form of wages or bon
us. The internal politics of the man
agement of a large concern whose
managers are selected by the en-
plOyees would have forced the distri-
button of all the profits leaving no
surplus to be utilized in time of finan-
cial depression.
Frequently in the past few months
we have had the suggestion that in
dustry be kept moving by extending
credit But if credit is to be extend
ed, there must be some one to put up
the money to meet the monthly or
weekly payroll. Money to meet a pay
roll when credit is to be extended can
be secured only through a surplus

money borrowed from some other
surplus. The facts in this case ought

NATIONALISTIC TAR
IFF TENDENCIES

WASHINGTON-S Some time ago the
Republican Publicity Association call
ed attention to a list of countries
which had adopted the protective tar
if idea and enacted appropriate leg
islation to make it effective. Topping
this list was Great Britain, which, in
her so-called safeguarding of indus
tries" act has provided for duty of
80 per cent on an exhaustive list of
articles, which may be added to as the
commission authorized by that act
may see fit. Other countries mention
ed, with summary of what they had
done in this particular, were Austria,
British East Africa, British Hondur-
as, JugOslavia, Rumania, Australia,
the Barbados, Czechoslovakia, Lat
via, France, Japan, and Argentina, all
of which have revised, or are revising
their tariff schedules upward.
Great Britain is extending her "safe-
guarding of industries" act in every
conceivable fashion, some of the ex-
tensions being amusing. In the case
of composite articles, of which an ar
ticle liable to duty forms a part, the
duty is to be chargeable against the
dutlable part. Hence, a doll with lamp
blown glass eyes, pays duty on the !
eyes, and an electric lamp with tung- I
sten wire filament, pays duty on the
flament.
To this list of protection countries
the Association now adds Finland,
which, according to the Department
Of Commerce is considering general
tariff revision along protective lines
with a great increase in import duties,
and an early adoption is predicted"
Monthly Commerce Reports state that
German import duties have been
doubled by a decree effective Novem-.
'er 2S.' The new tariff of Latvia be-
'ame effective October 18th.
Polish import duties on luxury
'oods, payable in paper marks, have I
'een increased from 300 times the
old rate to 800 times those basic
ates, and on those ordinary commod- f
lies not specified in any other list, 2

duties, as paid in paper currencS, have
been increased from 15U e.1es the
basic gold rates to 400 times those
rates. This is said to offset consider
ably the fall of exchange, hence it
means higher protection.
Consul Withey, at Tahiti reports
that "a recent decree has increased all
OctrOi de mer duties on goods i'm
ported into the Society Islands. Both
the specific and ad Valorem duties
have been increased 20 per cent"
These duties are in addition to the
regular customs duties and are, col
lected when the import duties are
paid. They represent an additional
tax to get into that small but some
what important market.
These actions on the part of COM
peting narions are hard blows to the
free traders. They used to point to
England as a classic example of free
trade, but England today is staunchly
protec%ionist.
Considered in their general aspects.
these tariff symptoms do something to
prove how inapropos was the league /
of nations conception which was bas-
ed on the idea, privately supported by
its sponsors, and publicly denied by |
them, that the nations of the world |
should acknowledge this body as a
super-government and that interna-
-ionalism should override nationaIism.
The whole tariff movement through
1ut the world is based on remark
lble revival of the spirit of national
SIN, a revival which seems to follow
lfter every great war. These tariffs
ire essentially nationalistic, and the
United States can not get back to it's
'wn national tariff policy any too
oon.
The argument of the free traders

PRESIDENT OF ALASKA COLLEGE
 VISITS SEWARD
Charles E. BunnelI Goes to States for
 Equipment Alaska College.

MT. Charles E. Bunnell, recently elected President of the Alaska Agri- cultural College and School of mines at Fairbanks was an outgoing pas senger on the freighter Latouche. MT. Bunnell will go as far east as Wash ington D. C., and while in the states will secure equipment and arrange for instructors preparatory to the opening of the College at Fairbanks next September.
 MT. Bunnell states that the pros poets for the success of the Alaska College is as bright as that of many institutions which have started with a smaller beginning and have grown and flourished. There are now about thirty prospective students desirous of taking short mining course when the college opens. One of the greatest needs of the institution at present, ac- cording to Mr Bunnell, is dormitory for the proper housing of the students in attendance at the college. The ap- propriations for the College have not contained funds for the construction of buildings and this need must be met in some other manner. It is ex- nected that everything will be in read mess for the opening of the college the first of next September. MT Bun nell expects to return to Falroanhs sometime next April.

 MT. Lincke together with Miss K. Wilson, daughter of Eugene Wilson, vice president of the National Bank of Tacoma, is writing history of Al aska covering the period from the Gold Rush to the present time. This book aims to show just what Alaska means to the world at large and es- pecially the United States. It will em- phasize all of Alaska's resources, pointing out the development in the gold, coal, oil, etc, industries. It aims to prove that Alaska is, not occupied merely by adventurers, but is land of homes and made up of home-lov- ing people,.
 This book is to contain historical data which will provide publicity to every town in the territory. It will feature stories showing Alaska in the summer rather than in winter. It will be similar to MT. Lincke's history of the Development of Alberta, Canada.
 Miss Wilson is at present in Sitka obtaining information and historical data from the pioneers at the Pioneers Home. In this way they hope to get first hand information which will give them the opportunity to pay proper tribute to the true Alaskan.
 As means of advertising, MT Lincke SugScou1 o,-~-.H-.-,n otinn nf a flying squadron consisting or the sec retaries of the Chambers of Commerce of all Alaskan towns. The purpose or this squadron will be to go to the States in order to enlighten the peo- nle as to the true conditions in Alaska.
