AGAIN THE FoRDNEY BILL.

YESTERDAYS reports from Washington indi-
Gated that Republican leaders intend to drag
out the Fordney Tariff Bill and re-enact It.
The Fordney Fake which President Wilson
vetoed Is considerably more than the "Wo-inch"
bill which the President recommended to farmer
lobbyists last week. Apparently Mr.. Harding is not
sure what he wants. but has come to the conclusion
that something has got to be done about it, and
Is grabbing for the Fordney bin because Pnesiden:
Wilson vetoed it,
But the President is reported to have in mind
one change. The original Fordney Fake was to
have term of eleven months. When, the measure
was proposed The Evening World poirtted out how
this would not benefit the farmer whose 1920
crops were already sold, nor would ii insure him
higher prices for his 1921 crop.
If the Fordney bill were re-enacted now with tn
eleven-month provision, it might actually increase
farm prices on a few commodities-not many
while il placed heavy load on the consumer
but President Harding is said to favor six
month term for the new tariff. In other words,
sich a tariff would fave the Objectionable features
Of the longer term, but without the problematical
benefits to the farmer which an eleyen-month bill
might now bring.
Moie than one President has been wrecked by
foolish and ll-advised tariff legislation. If Pres.
dent Harding sponsors a six-monh Fordney Fake
he will be making the worst possible start.

He also contradicts himself by stat

A HEAVY LOAD.

THE Republican plot to have the State of New
York hog-tie the City of New York in order
to clear the way for boost of fares on metro.
potan traction lines was pushed to its final stage
last night.
The Assembly obediently passed the Traction Bill
by vote of 81 to So, and Gov Miller is scheduled
to sign It next week after public hearing which
will put the last ironic twist to piece of unnit
gated tyranny.
The fourteen ASSemblymen from Greater New
York who betrayed their home city by voting for
the bill should be carefully noted. They are:

function did not prevent their grossly misrepresent
ing the great community to which they were re-
sponSibe when their party bosses cracked the wtip.
Nor will that party itself escape the consequences
of what it has done
Republican AssenIblyman Jesse of New York,
who refused to be traitor to his city, warned his
fellow Republicans in the Assembly yesterday:
'The bill Ia destined to win this year. But
let me tell the Majority Leader he is going to
ride to victory on a measure that will bankrupt
Ghe Republican Party.
I'VE have such tremendous majority here
in this House that we are drunk with power
1t is going to take the Christening influence of
defeat to bring home to you what you are doing
here to-day. have voted for every party
measure in this House. But this is not a party
measure, and had Il been made one by intro
ductOn in the Saratoga platform or during the
campaign this Legislature would be overwhelm-
ngly Democratic"
That IS plain truth
The people of this State are going to have a
reckoning with party and a Governor that came
into power for purpose revealed only after the
election
The plot against this city is not likely to be for
gotten in the next two years.
Gov. Miller may sign his Traction Bill, but that
will be only the beginning of fight in the courts
fight which will be constant reminder that where
there should have been openness there was du
plicity, that where there might have been cooper
alton there IS antagonism, that instead of concen.
tratng on the traction problem the city is forced to
defend itself against tyranny
Responsibility for such a situation will prove a
crushing load for the Miller Administration.

2-ANTlClPATE.

Many persons-and some OF them
ought to know better-cruelly misuse
Anticipate by confounding 1t with
expect" Anticipate" is derived
from the Latin words ANTE" (before)
and "capio" q take). To anticipate
an event means TO take suitable ac-
ton looking to that event
Expect" is derived from the Latin
words tex (out) and "specto" q
look)--that is TO say, to look forward
to, whether with pleasure OF with
dismay.
The Important difference between
the meanings of the two words was
aptly illustrated in the late war.
Everybody, including Uncle Sam,
"expected" the conflict. But Uncle
sam did not anticipate" 1t. That is
TO say, he took no adequate measures
of preparedness before he entered 1t.
This incident shows how impor-
tant IL Is for nations as well as indi-
viduals to use language with a
proper regard for its exact meaning.

InCrements, Earned and Unearned,

TO uhc baNOt % me Evening World:
have seen many letters appearing
lately eNpounding that impossible
doctrine, and no one to answer in the
negative.
Assume that we are going to enact
single tax, will the present owners be
compensated? THE land belongs to
no one, God made the land"-Henry
George. True, but how about the
poor buffers who paid for the land?
Single Takers would nationalist the
land. How about the industries? One
man invests money in land, another
in manufacturing or stocks. Both do
nothing, Single Tax calls the former
unearned increment, the latter earned.
II seizes the formers income and
does not touch the latter's.
In conclusion, II Is a half hearted
measure and will never remedy the
present fundamental unrest or solve

The Will of the Majority.

To the Editor Of The Evening World;
May l be permitted, through the
columns OF your valuable paper, to
ask "Optimist." whose letter appears
in to-day's issue, one question:
Does he not, in the last analysis,
consider the will OF the people of this
country the law of the land? II he
does, then l should include in this
question: When have the whole
people had an opportunity to express
suoh an opinion?
Now, l don't care about referen-
dums held in different States in
which the majority voted dry"
They are the most sparsely popu-
lated in the country, and II he will
| consider the people in these States
who are against the Eighteenth
Amendment with the vast majOrities
in the Eastern States who have
never voted on the question and
which comprise, should say, rs per
| cent. OF the population of the entire
country, he will have to agree there
is serious doubt whether the Eight
zenith Amendment represents the will
of the majority of the people the
country over.

the people Is beyond praise. More

The Penalty of the Election.
To uhs EdAOr OF The Evening World
The voters Of the last election have
changed conditions to a much more
serious state than they were before,
When the State was under the Dem
ocratic Party's control, conditions in
This state were not at all bad. But
because OF being dissatisfied with our
| eN-President, they the voters, thought
II the Democrats were again in
power II would make matters worse.
In order TO prevent such disaster, they
decided to vote for the other party,
although that party's platform was
clearly known to have many principles
that did not meet the demands of the
working people. Since the majority
OF voters in this State are working
people, cannot conceive how they
should desire to pay the Scent fare.
No doubt they will reply that they do
not agree with that policy. Yet they
voted for the party that stood behind
that policy,
l have still to wait several years to
be able 10 vote, and would like 10
have the readers OF The Evening
World tell me why the people OF to
day do not care to understand the
principles OF the party ne or she votes
for Since the people OF to-day care
so little for the principles OF the vaTi
Gus parties, why do they complain II
