THE FREIGHT TARIFF

TN BIGGEST tariff ever laid against grain by the American gov.
ernment hurts instead Of helps both The American grain grower
and the American bread consumer.
u is tc railroad rate from the wheat country o. he middle west
TO he Atlantic seabaard.
Under this rate i costs today SO cents 10 ship a bushel Of wheat
from Minneapolis to New York.
AZ The same time IL costs only y cents a bushel to ship the came
amount Of wheat from Argentina 20 New York.
That amounts TO a tariff Of 26 cents n bushel against the Ameri.
lean wheat grOweri
Even " congress should enact the provision Of the emergency
tariff bill establishing an import duty Of 40 cents a bushel on wheat.
more than half the apparent protection would be wiped out by trans
Iportaton charges alone.
This Is merely one of the situations emphasizing the necessity Of
la revision Of existing railroad rates.
Any reduction in railroad rates on wheat from the middle west
TO the coast will help the farmer exactly as much as a corresponding
import tanf.
And at the same time II will help the railroads by giving them
IN fife that is not now being moved, according TO one view of the
situation.
"f existing rates are continued says one cabinet official who
has studied the situation carefully, we may expect the whole At.
lantie seaboard TO be fed with Argentine wheat and all demand for
American wheat for export be killed
The effect Of existing freight RACES ON our grain market is only
typical of their effect on our whole commercial and Industrial fabric.
They threaten TO put the railroads in receHership by July.
The whole railway situation, in all its aspects, must come up for
revision-and that az oneel

FOREIGN TRADE FICTION

A LMOST daily some business giant says unemployment is due
n largely TO the falling on Of he enormous foreign trade built up
by the United States during the war. That business giant is
looking at the situation crosseyed. He hasn't wsed up to the great
foreign trade hoax.
As matter Of fact, the huge wartime increase in our exports was
in values or prices, not in actual amhunts Of goods shipped abroad.
TAX. the record year, 1920. Compare it with a normal year,
IJSV exports .-.....s... .FS,22SOOOOOO
~" exports S,4o4Olo,2JZ
According TO the above figures. America exports last year were
nearly three and a half times as big as 1913.
But think of il in terms of actual shipments-bushes Of wheat
tons Of steel, etc-and 1920 exports really were only 10 per cent
greater than in 1918. That's the calculation Of the Boston News
Bureau, financial paper. Other experts put the increase as low as
6 per cent.
To get the idea in simple terms; Suppose a farmer before The
war sold 100 eggs Tor $3.50. In 1920 he sold 1l6 eggs for $500. He
got more money. hut he sold about the same number of eggs. That's
Uncle Sans plight when he forgets the price hoax and thinks Of his
foreign trade in quantities instead of inflated values.
In many items, exports actually were less in 1920 than in 1913.

There was similar decrease, during 1920. of exports Of corn. pig

American business men will not get out Of the woods until they
again think Of business in terms Of actual commodities instead Of in
hated vaues.

Troy, August 22.-Judge A. B. Foster today sustained demurrers of the states attorneys in complaints brought against the state tax com mission by tax payers of Coffee county attacking the assessments ct taxes in that county since the tax records of the county were stolen or destroyed last winter.
 W. H. Bailey sought to have set aside assessments made by Fred Fol- som. tax official. on the ground that they were illegally made. The other case was that of w. F. Clark, tax payer of the same county, who sought to prevent Coffee county paying part of the expenses of making the new assessments after the books disap- peared.
 A suggestion was made in the opinion that the remedy might lie on the law side instead of in the equity division, and 30 days time was al lowed compliments to amend their bills if they so desired. temporary injunction formerly issued against the state tax commission was dis solved by the court.
