COOLIDGE'S TARIFF VIEWS

Calvin Coolidge. vice prcSilcnt-elect,
expressed Il great truth in a speech de-
livcred in Atlanta, Georgia., or Thurs
day. when he said that the tariff Ques-
ton must be emovcd from politics and
worked out on an eCunmtc n scientific
basis. America has been imposing
tariff duties on imports Of foreign goods
since shortly after the Revolution, and
there has been no time in all that period
when the subject might not nave been
reduced to the kind Of basis described
by Mr.. Coolidge. Instead, the tarIn
question has been 4 political football.
One political division always has stood
for the principle knowna as a protective
tariff. The other has consistently sup
ported what is called n tariff for rev"-
nue. only. Since the formation Of the
Republican party. il has ben IN" cham
rion OF the protective plan. while the
Democratic party has adhered To the
revenue theory.
Time efter time each has been test
ed. and the general results invariably
have been the same. II has been demon
stratcd conclusivcly that. unless extra
ordinary conditions interfere. a tariff
for revcnue only permits heavy imports
Of all kinds Of foreign products which
ere placed on the American market ~
a price lower than at which our Arncri-
can plants and American workers can
produce them. This always Comp"ls
many Of u home industries to shut
down and throws q large number or men
out Of employment.
1t has been demonstrated with equal
conclusivcncss that. barring eEtraordin-
airy conditions. Il protective tariff. by
euualizing the price OF imported and
Amcrican-made products. keeps he
greater part Of our big home market

Despite the fact that the h"u,' an"

firmly Of the opinion that an army OF
$50, ono is big enough. Representative"

Mr.. Harding at Marion, and states NAV
the president-clect suggested appronrl-
atoms for only 10000. These. together
with the reserves. National Guard and
other available forces. would be sut-
tcicut. Mr.. Harding IS said 10 have as
serted.
This cut, together with the other re
visions in the report submitted by the
war department. would reduce army cN'
pcnditurcs for tho coming year from
$500. 0On. 600 to S&"S. o0O. noe. From @O."p'

states Of National Guard regiments,
which are to be maintained at the "N-

CONGRESSIONAL NONSENSE

For pure nonsense, ii would be hard
10 beat the action Of Representative
Mason Of Illinois. who tried TO get n
salary appropriation FOR n minister L"
Ireland. In response u an nGu!ry
whether he had any indication or assur-
ancc that Mr.. Harding would designate
n minister, Mr.. Mason replied that he
had no promises, but had hopes.
Mr.. Mason's optimism is certainly
wonderful. but not much can be said for
his Judgment. Recognition OF Ireland
as an independent nation would he
necessary before n minister could he
named. and recognition "f Ireland by
the United States Is not now 4 possibility.
All such gestures in congress are calCu-
lated to arouse the resentment OF Eng
