NoUember Gives the Answer

NOVEMBER contributed its answer TO the chant
OF the Democratic party and newspapers prior
TO the passage of the Fordney tariff law that the
law would paraliZe export trade. Free trade papers
ana a number of Democratic congressman who were
loading the Congressional Record for free cam
paign distribution, worked themselves into
hysteria IN condemning TIE tariff law and assur.

come into the country, and as a consequence moth.
ing could get out, for the nations of the world
would stop buying.
October showed an export trade of s3T1. 900, 900.
tne greatest since March, 1921, when past-war buy.
ing was still going on. But October included
about Il week of September, tho bill becoming n
law on the 22nd Of that MONTH" explained the
Democrats who sought TO belittle the fact. The nro-
lection SITS let it go ut that Tho November fivnres
however, give the opponents Of protection some
thing to think about, for during that ,Lonth our
exports reached the comfortable total of 1888, 600,
ooe That was at the rate of sl2,sO0,OOO daily, and
since the figures wero announced we haven't
heard a peep out of the free traders.
Tho Democratic tariff law which went ont of
existence September 90 was enacted in October
1913. During that month We exported S272 600 600
worth of products and the following month they
lection restored showed a considerable increase
over che last month under the Democratic policy
For example, the last full month under that policy
August. we exported nearly 1902, 100000 worth or
SSl ,00O.0O6 less than the first full month under the
Republican laws.
The reason is not hard to find. Our exporters
know where they stand under the present law. They
know the foreign competitor will not have the Oh.
portunities under protection to appropriate the do.
mesuc market while our exporters are building up
markets abroad. They know that n Watchdog is on
guard at every port of entry while Uncle Sam is
clearing his export fields abroad. They know they
can go ahead with commercial expansion and that
their share of the domestic market will be such
as to permit them to operate their factories and
farms at capacity which means lower unit cast and
a larger number of hands employed.
In the near future we shall no doubt see what, to
Democratic minds, would appear TO be n paradox,
namely lower prices under protection, for the i'm.
porters, who have monopolized the market under
The Democratic law. and soaked the buying public
for all it would stand, will find themselves forced
to compete with the American manufacturers.
The present tariff law is bravely facing down
the atrocious libels uttered against it in the recent
campaign, and it is vindicating the party which
placed it on the statute books.
BY the thine the next campaign has rolled around
the people will have realized its virtues.

The Travelling Dollar

fTHE HOUSTON Post has been conducting Il
l. spend it at home" campaign which should be
Inltlated in our national business policies. Recent
" the editor of the Post having received a dollar
bill as part of his weekly salary, attached a piece
of blank paper to the bill, wrote his name on the
blank and then spent the dollar at a local depart
Inent store for some handkerchiefs. lie asked that
the recipient of the bill write his name on the
blank sheet of paper and spend the money in Hou-
ston so that it would be used to build up Hou-
ston trade, and also requested that each person who
tached thereto. In two days that dollar bill had
passed through the hands of twenty-four merchants
in Houston.
NomlnaIiy, the editor of the Post Is a Democrat.
but at neart he is manifestly a good Republican.
The Democratic theory is to "buy where YOU can
buy the cheapest" The Republican principle is to
buy at home. Abraham Lincoln illustrated the Re
publican principle many years ago when, in dis
cuss1ng the tariff question he said that if we buy
some foreign goods, the foreigner has the money
and We have the goods, but if we buy goods made
at home, we have both the goods and the money.
srhe editor of the Houston Post has been giving his
home people a practical demonstration of the work
ing of the Republican principle.
Starting his story Of the travels OF the dollar
bill, the editor declares that IF every dollar earn
ed in Houston were spent in Houston this would be
the most prosperous city in the country. Money
would be instantly available for every civic need
and every request would be Immediately satisfied"
OF course the editor knows, as everyone else does,
that Houston does not produce all its needs, and
for climatic reasons, can not do so. But, SO far as
practicable, observance of the doctrine laid down
would produce the results he describes. The same
thing may be said of the nation. If every dollar
earned in America were spent in America, this
would always continue to be, as it is today, the
most prosperous country in the world.
After the Houston dollar bill had passed through
the hands of "a people, it returned to the editor
presumably in part payment of a subscription and
this is what the bill said TO the editor: 81 hope
that L won't fall into the hands of some disioyaI

Tax Them Equally

ONE SIXTH of the income of the United States
- is taken away from the people in taxes. Instead
or recommending new taxation to make up the def
icit which government revenues face, Secretary
Mellon advocates the lowering of surtax rates ON
large incomes from the present fifty per cent to
twenty-five per cent, contending this action would
result in capital being drawn from its hiding
places and put to productive work, thus creating
new tax sources naturally.
Great wealth, Mr.. Mellon pointed out, now sinks
itself in tax-exempt securities and other tax free
investment fields and yields the government moth
ing: If this money is released, he pointed out, it
will multiply tax sources.
"The %surtaxes are gradually defeating their own
purpose" his report said. "High rates are becom-
ing ineffective because of the steady disappearance
of taxable incomes they are intended to reach"
in he face of such conditions our laws still stand
without change permitting the continued issuance
of taxexempt securities by cities, states and ma.

New Tricks and Weapons

ANYONE who believes that all the tricks of hold.
n up men have been tried should change his ideas.
There is always the remote possibility of almost
anything being tried. Robberies of such wellguard-
ed places MS big banks and government minis are
conclusive proof that there can be no relaxing in
keeping every money depository as carefully guard
ed as possible.
Modern inventions and speedier methods OF
travel have complicated the problem. The automo-
bile offers n quick way of making n getaway after
a crime has been committed. The men who held up
the mint made an immediate escape by jumping
into an automobile. Many bank robberies have
been committed in the same way. Before the author
tiles or guards have time to cope with the situation
effectively the robbers can be many miles away.
The lesson to be drawn from such a case, is that
every modern Improvement must be used in coping
with such possible crimes. Would it not be a good
idea to use mounted guards who could take up i'm.
mediate pursuit? If the robbers are going to take
advantage of modern developments, these new
weapons must be turned against them as well. The
mint employees certainly showed unusual valor in
doing what they did to try to ~frustratc the rob.

False Prefenses

THE DESTRUCTIVE type of extreme radicals
L arrogate to themselves the right to appropriate
the name Progressive" That group by that preda-
tory act provokes the ire of the real constructively
progressive element. Only sanity in legislation can
ccynmand approval and support.
Real "Progressives" are as strongly opposed to
radicalism on the one hand as they are to the dry
rot of reactionism on the other. Theirs is that sane
common ground on which the great mass of Amer
leans have always shown inclination to stand un-
der valiant leadership.
The term progressive" has q definite signifi-
canoe and meaning expressive of that type of Amer
icanism which reverses organic law.
They insist that American law is fundamentals
intended to serve the people and that respect for
law depends on the sincerity and the integrity of
that service. Prograssivism means that the pro
cesses and methods of government, when and where
they fail to serve men and women, must be changed
and made to function for human welfare and hap
piness. That is where it parts company alike from
blind and unintelligent reaction and the dragnet of
untried experiments.
When radicals meet and appropriate the designa.
ton Progressive" the group is attaching to itself
a label to which it is not entitled and is bidding
for popular support under false pretenses.

Between the Two MiHstones

ACCORDING to statistics the purchasing power
"a of the farmer is now only two per cent above
the 1921 level. That is TO say what the farmer has
to sell will buy only two per cent more than it
would in 1921. The reason for this is plain-the
prices of things the farmer must buy have not come
down from war prices in proportion TO the decline
In prices Of what the farmer sells. 1t was the re-
cent boast OF Mr.. Gompers that the wages paid to
union labor had declined less than five per cent
from wartime peaks. Tho farmer is getting many
times five per cent less for his labor than he got
during the war. If the leaders of the new Farm
Labor party can work out some plan to equalize
the incomes of farmers and city laborers, the agri-
cultural community ought TO be duly thankful.
