X Stands for Kick.

Representative FoRDNEY has not,
as far as THE New YORK HERALD
knows, disclosed the motive for sub
stituting numerals in place OF the
familiar letters to identify the sched-
ules Of the tariff law. Thus in the
old days, which lapsed in 1913 with
the repeal of the tariff act enacted
by the Republicans, wool and wool
manufactures came under Schedule
X, letter which fairly bristled with
possibilities. The mere mention Of
Schedule Kin the old days--sent
hundred Congressman sprawling
instanter with ears glued to the
ground to hear what the folks back
home we're saying.
Schedule X not only stood for wool
and articles into which wool entered:
it also stood for knockout, kick-and
kill, il necessary; it was the Ku Klux
kleagle of all that certain territory
bounded at one end by wall of flli.
buster and fortified at the other by
the power of veto.
Thus and there it was that the
fate Of nations hung suspended by
a slender fillet Of the stun without
which there could have been no
Schedule X.
What was the Ways and Means
Committee in 1921 trying to escape
when it abandoned the letter system
and adopted numerals for all the
schedules? Was there a hope that
the change would work a magic
charm and do away with the dissen-
sion and dispute which always have
been part and parcel of tariffs made
and in the making? If that was the
hope, then it has not been realized.
We have before us a copy Of an
open letter addressed to the Congress
Of the United States by the Carded
Woolen Manufacturers Association.
Boston, Massachusetts. This letter
informs Congress that at is better
to tell the truth about tariff bill
before 1t is made law, when there
is still time to remedy its defects,
than after it has been placed on the
statute book, when usually IL can
be amended or repealed only after
a change in party control OF the
Government" The man, woman or
child who would attempt to refute
that statement certainly would be
wasting time and energy.
The Carded woolen Manufactur.
ers Association then launches
broadside at that provision of the
Fordney tariff on wool which lays a
specific duty Of 25 cents q pound on
the secured content" Of imported
grease wool.
Now, gentle reader, you must know
that what you cherish closest to you
in both your waking and your sleep
ing hours during the cold winter
months was once a raw. fibrous sub
stance heavily laden with grease and
dirt II had to be put through many
cleansing and working processes be-
fore It was transformed into the fin.
ished garment.
Sometimes the raw wool as IL is
landed here contains four times as
much grease and dirt as useful fibre.
Sometimes tho content of useful
wool is in much higher proportion
to the grease and dirt. Sometimes
the wool is high grade and some

ment OF what then appeared SO
huge a sum. None of them could
foresee that in single year
and that almost within gener-
alton OF the time of purchase
Alaska would yield nearly 1000
per cent upon the purchase price

OF exports of minerals and mer-

1t is to Seward s. foresight
and persistence that the United

consummated the bargain was as

for the many acts of kindness and
the courtesy shown us last SUI
day by those who attended the

such an extent and at rate so much
higher than the great mass of proper
ty that an unjust and excessive bur-
den will be placed on all other states
needing these products of nature but
not fortunate enough to possess a
supply within their own borders. In
effect if not in name super-taxes of
this kind are export taxes and are so
intended. In the Minnesota legisla-
ture the chief argument used by the
proponents of the so-called occupa-
ton tax on the mining industry was
that the state should receive addiction
al revenue from this source because
practically all of the ore was shipped
beyond its borders never to return.
The same argument was advanced in
Pennsylvania.
There should be the greatest free
dom in the interchange of commod-
tiles between the states, and this is
particularly true in regard to the pro-
ducts of the earth, such as coal, iron,
oil and the various metals in common
use. These are the heritage Of the
entire nation and not of any particul-
ar state and the system of taxing
them more heavily than other proper
ty seems to many to be out of keep
ing with the free commerce ideal as
expressed in the Federal Constitution
and as established by the many decis-

cause Minnesota has practical mon
opoly of the merchantable iron ore
tonnage of America may she tax this
to such an extent that the levies will
become burden on the rest of the
Country? Because Pennsylvania
has monopoly of the anthracite coal
tonnage may she do like wise?
The 6 per cent tax on iron and the
IL per cent tax on coal in the due
course of events will be pyramided
and thus passed on to the consumer.
These rates in themselves may not be
excessive, but once the principle is
established there is no limit upon the
power of the state to impose taxes of
this character. If Minnesota can
apply a super-tax to the production
of iron ore, other states can follow
suit, as has Pennsylvania, by applying
super-taxes to natural resources of
which they happen to have a mono
poly. While this state will gain by
the tax on iron, it's citizens must pay
part of the Pennsylvania tax on coal
There is no escape from such sit
uation if the principle of this man
ner of taxation is sustained and it will
be seen at glance that the effect
may be far reaching. If the process
be continued each state containing a
product for which the nation as a
whole has vital need may tax it to

Now and then we are reminded of
the old Indian who heard that his
white brother gained much comfort
from sleeping on feathers, and who
one night secured single feather,
slept on that one feather all night,
and arose in the morning to declare
that the white man was a confirmed
fool. Sleeping on single feather
and expecting to be comfortable is
about like putting one ad in news
paper and expecting to get rich.
You've got to have several feathers
to make bed, and you've got to run
several ads to build up a business.
The merchant who feels the pulling
power of advertising will tell you that
spasmodic advertising seldom pays.
You've got to keep, hammering it into
the heads of the people you want to
sell to that you have what they want
and at a price that will satisfy them.
The makers Of Pears soap advertised
for fifty years and few years ago
they stopped advertising and tried
to live on their reputation. It only
took few years for them to see that
the soap men who were advertising
started advertising again before it
was too late. There is only one
way to advertise-and that is reg
ularly and Systematically. The
"easy to do business" time has gone
and the man who expects to get bust
ness must work for it. Grumbling
over the lack of business gets one
nothing. The business man who can
create business when apparently
there is none has the goods on his
competitor.

What an awful mess that Dulut

What an awful mess that Duluth
bunch has kicked up in its charges
Of Encouragement of county funds
This same condition has been on for
years and was only discovered when
it was proposed to build roads on the
ranges and outside the city OF Duluth
and when the act to assist the strug-
Cling school districts of the county
was passed. Not content with Civ
ing figures that might tend to inform,
the financial reformers" have taken
to uttering untruths and barefaced
mistatements to bolster up their sell
fish wall. The ranges have been
the feeders for Duluth and through
this fact the Zenith City has waxed
fat and saucy and now takes the pos
ition of some of the retired farmer"
towns in the southern end of the
state whose inhabitants having Sc
cured everything for themselves
necessary for creature comforts, are
determined that others get nothing.
The road program was voted by the
people because they wanted roads
NOW and not fifteen years from
now. This vote was carried by a
majority of eight to one. This
bunch of treasury watchdogs fur
Their goes on to pick the eyes out of
the eight-tenths of a mill school bill
passed by the last legislature and
pronounces this vicious" From
the looks of things anything is "vic-
ious" that does not "do it for Dull
nth" and edo" the ranges while doing
it. Editor and Representative R.
w. Hitchcock, chairman of the Ed
ucational Committee of the House
and in a large measure responsible
for the passage of this vicious
legislation, explains the measure in
q recent issue of his Hibbing Tri-
bune and shows that the charges
made by the reform movers in Dull
nth fall fiat on every charge.

Editor Peterson of the Cook Jour
nal means well but he cannot get
away from that Capitalism" bunk
with which he is innoculated. After
reading Editor Hitchcock of the
Hibbing Tribune a lesson on his
analysis Of the Socialistic tendencies
OF the convention of the American
Federation of Labor at Denver, he
goes on to offer a panacea for all the
ills Of which the body polite is heir.
by taking from the men who have
spent years in developing, the mines,
railroads and every other thing now
in the hands of corporations and
handing them over to the proletariat.
Pete evidently forgets that Russia
has had about two years of this kind
OF stuff and now as the last resort
to keep from going down out of
sight, are going back to the old form
OF capitalistic regime.
