AS TO REVENUE.

Opponents of protection who are
against protective tariff because,
they say, it will not yield a fair
amount to the treasury have no logical
grounds upon which to stand. The
Freeman-Journal cannot recall the ex-
act figures at this time, but it knows
| that under the protective tariff policy
of the republican party before the
resent law was enacted the impost rev.
enucs from importations valued at
81 .S00000,C0O amounted to approXi-
mately the same as the revenues from
more than S5,0OO,C00,O00 did under the
present law. We have Just found the
June 30. 1913. under the Payne-Aldrich
protective tariff law, imports amount
ed to 81 .S13.00OOG0 and the govern
ment collected in impost duties upon
these importations the sum OF S3!S.-
S91 GOO. In 1920. under the democrat
ic tariff. importations amounted in
value to S5,23S, C00,000 and the rev
enues collected amounted to 22.9O2,-
COO While we imported substan-
tally three dollars worth of goods I'M
der the present law to one dollars
worth under the one it superseded,
the revenue derived from each was al
most the same, the increase under the
latter being very small percentage.
Hence it is plain as revealed in the
school of experience that tariff for
revenue only is not. after all. q very
good revenue getter. a protective tar
iff discouragcs impoTtations. of
course. but as revenue creator it is
quite as proficient as is a tariff for
revenue only. because the foreign pro
duccr has to pay much higher rate
to get into the American market with
his wares.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1921-10-31

II il be true as stated by leaders OF
the railroad unions, that the roads are
d wing only 4 per cent on approximate
/ " $1O,O0O,OQ0,OG0 worth Of bonds, they
should not be allowed to charge up to
| expense interest on the investment Al
& per cent In other words. the public
lsl.3uld get the benefit of the difference
between six per cent and 1 per cent on
SIC. GOO 100000 worth Of bonds, which
Is $500, 100000 per year. The inter
state commerce commission should at
once investigate this matter and if the
roads are getting money at per cent
they should not be allowed Il rate of
slX per G2nt as a basis for freight
charges. With the cut of approximate
liy $1O0,O0O,O00 in wages the interstate
commerce commission ought TO see its
way clear TO order Il reduction OF
freight and passenger charges aggrc-
eating at least SGG0,OOO.GG0 per ainum.
roads are getting this money ut 4 PEI
cent If that cannot be done under
time in amending the law. What the
country wants and what il is going to
Insist upon is square deal to the men,
to the roads and TO the public.

WHAT is 4 LIVING WAGH?

| An advertisement appeared III one OF
rEc Chicago paper; Il few days ago
giving the highest. lowest and aver
age wages paid to men III the various
departments Of the Eric railroad and
Il parallel road between Chicago and
New York.
The purpose OF the advertisement
clearly is to inform The public regard
iMg The amount of money the men Who
propose 10 strike are now receiving.
Ii is hardly probable that the Erie
railroad would make false statements
under the circumstances. as there would
bn come backs that would be damaS-
ing to the road. as the men could
easily establish the real truth. Hence
statements Of the advertisement should
be accepted as facts, ut least until re
futcd by competent witnesses.
The figures are based upon the pay
lot 5000 employees who draw the wages
iScd hy the labor board. 1t is also
shown just what the reduction would
be lElder the order of the labor board
taking effect July first of this year.
TIE maximum monthly pay Of
freight engineers on the Eric was
$1tSSG, minimum $17G.32 and the aver
age S2G7.Sl before the reducing order
was issued That order took S23S2
from the average. leaving it at $213.93.
Freight tircmen received d maximum
% $Ss1.23 and an average of $225.22
The present average is S2Oi 81. Accord
passenger engineers and fremcn re
ceivc less than the engineers and fire
men OF freight trains, the average pay
OF the Passenger engineers now being
$2lJ.2l and that Of iiremen S179.2G.
On the parallel road the average for
freight engineers is s52SJ.4J and Of fire
men Sl93.23
On the Eric freight conductors
maximum was size Is and their aver
Gge S261.G1 before the cut Their av-
erage at present * :s.3J.l Present
average pay OF brakemcn is !1IS.T3.
Their maximum before the cut was
$@3I2J and their average $2c4.26.
Eaggagemrn's average before the re-
duction was $1SS92. present average,
: 1919. I'clcgraphcrS average has
leen cut from $l4G.2J to $13l.G2 Thai
Of track forcmcn from maximum
of $2J1.1i and an average of S1J7.J1
before the order to an average Of
Sl3..3I ut present. and trackmen
v hose maximum was $.l2.G7 and aver
age ST.. 1G to S102.G1.
The average of machinistS IL the en-
lioy Of the Erie before the cut was

Now the averages are SlG6.G0 and
