sonable duty on wool, on the wool content, viii be a
feature of the next protective bill that is made Up
and put on the statute books l. Is so reasonable and
so sensible that II YOU gentlemen on that side ever
again revise the tariff and come to the rescue of the
sheep as well as the goats Of the country you win put
II there 20 and when you go to bed and sleep over
It you will pat yourselves on the back because OF the
fact that. notwithstanding the idea originated on this
wool tariff in this country and have got the proper
basis, which. carried out, gives nc more duty on wool
content per pound in the wool in the manufactured
article than IL does oE wool in the grease"
At the time Mr.. Payne spoke he did not believe that
a Democratic law on the tariff subject would long en-
dure and his judgment would have easily been vim
Dictated but for one thing. The historic hypocrisy of
"he kept rs out of war"
free traders, when he told them: Confident that this
will go into q tariff bill in the near future, / am recon
eiled to whatever you do in the Underwood bill on
any subject"
sent to the discard in favor of free wool. He died
in 1914, but the practicabiity and fairness of his
theory has endured and its appeal is so forcible that
the first Republican committee that came into power
to write a tariff law and fulfill his predictions has
adopted the principle he advocated.
Another change in the wool schedule which he
could not foresee, but which improvements in wool
combing machinery since 1914 have made possible, is
the lack Of any appreciable distinction today between
Class l and Class ? woods, and it is announced that
the forthcoming tariff bill will not include those elias
sihcations. The news which is received from day to
day concerning the pending Republican tariff bill
gives assurance that it is being framed along lines
far more scientific than have ever heretofore char
acterized tariff legislation, and should amply repay
those impatient ones who are insisting on speed. No
tariff bill which was speeded through congress ever
gave satisfaction to the country. 1t is the most la
borious and painstaking phase of legislation with
which the American congress has to deal. and il it is
to endure with any degree of permanence it must be
drafted with utmost care.
, 1921-06-28
THE u

The ways and means committee of the house franz
ing the permanent tariff measure has abandoned the
traditional method of establishing the base rate of
duty on wool by accepting the secured pound instead
of wool in the grease. Each method has had its
champions in the past but the wool in the grease"
advocates have always been numerous and strong
enough TO write their idea into the law.
When the Democratic congress of 1918 came to
revise the tariff, which by the way, resulted in more
of q free trade law that what could properly be
called a tariff act, there was almost a nationwide
discussion of Schedule K" the wool schedule, and
in consequence it attained to much fame.
1t will be remembered that on that occasion the
then Republican minority leader Serene E.. Payne,
sought TO make the identical change which the pres
et day committee has determined upon. Mr.. Payne
offered as II substitute for paragraph 7 of Schedule
X the following:
1.-THE duty on all woods and hair of class 1. If i'm
ported in the grease, shall be laid upon the basis of
its clean content. The clean content shall be deter
mined by securing tests which shall be made accord
ing to regulations which the secretary of the treas
ury may prescribe"
Speaking upon this phase of the subject Mr.. Payne
told the Democratic majority:
'In my Judgment the principles of this substitute
viii yet be written into a tariff law. a sensible, rea.

DIET FOR HALE OLD AGE.

There is nothing particularly new in the dietary
advice given by Prof. McCollum of Johns Hopkins
university" says the Brooklyn Eagle, 'but it is re-
assuring to have the simple life at the table set forth
by a man of such eminent authority in the field of
hygiene.
'The marked conquest of infectious diseases and
the lowered death rates from them in recent years
have been accompanied by a steadily rising death rate
from intestinal diseases and those in which harden
ling of the arteries is a controlling factor. DR.. Nc
Collum points out, as other physicians have done, that
the overeating of meat and the undertaking of milk
and vegetables is chiefly responsible for these condi-
tions. He would begin his quart of milk a day and
his free use of green and salads in early manhood, SO
that the diseases from which SO many business men
suffer would never get a start.
But diet; although potent, is not the whole gospel
of health. There is just published here a letter from
Lord Leverhulme to Tom Drier of Boston, in which
he cites an observation of Mr.. Gladstone in the old
days of stage coaches. Mr.. Gladstone advocated level
roads for coach routes until he found that the coach
horses of the hilly roads lasted half as long again as
those on the level, from which the then young states
man deduced that it was variety and change, uphill
and down valley. collar work at one point and no col
lar work at another that was best for the health of a
horse, and. in his experience. best for the health of
man. Variety and vegetables would not make a bad
health slogan"

the sensational advances in the price
of cotton have not yet stimulated any

has created an undertone OF con-

improving conditions and encourag-
ing optimism
At the request of the War Finance

bodies in this territory have nominat-

ate in passing on loans to farmers,
and this is expected to bring the

There is a well grounded convic-
tion in business circles that the worst
