PATIENCE REWARDED

THE patience of the residents in the
= neighborhood about Old York road from
Broad street to the city line is at last being
rewarded.
This street has been dangerous to pedes.
trians for many years. There has been no
continuous sidewalk. The street car tracks
were on the side of the roadway so that
pedestrians had to walk in the center. Ac-
cidents were frequent, and inconvenience
was continuous.
Now it is announced that the work Of
improving the street will be completed on
October 1. The car tracks have been moved
to the center of the roadway and walks are
being laid on both sides of the street, thus
making It as safe as any other street in the
city.
The motorists who used the road will be
as grateful us the people in the neishhor-
hood for the improvement, for they will no
longer have to be on the alert lest they run
down n pedestrian. The highway will be
used only by wheeled vehicles.

Member of the Associated Press
A FLEXIBLE TARIFF

II IS apparent from the size OF the ma
L jority by which the Senate has adopted
the plan for an elastic tariff that sentiment
has advanced a considerable distance in the
direction of more scientific adjustment Of
tariff rates than that to which We have been
accustomed.
The plan. in brief provides that the
President. after investigation. may increase
or decrease the rates fixed in tho bill by not
more than 80 per cent If the facts Justify il.
Mr.. Harding has asked that Congress
provide by law that the Tariff Commission
be the body to make the investigation. but
he has announced that If this Is not done he
will by proclamation designate the Commis-
sion as the fact finding body.
Two objections have been raised 10 this
plan for an elastic tariff. The first is that
1t is proposed at this time as mere cleo
tioneering trick. Congressman seeking re-
election can tell their constituents that the
duties fixed in the bill are not final. They
are merely the basis from which the Presi-
dent will work in arriving at an equitable
rate. If the farmers say the rates ar" too
high, they can be told that the President
will lower them and if the manufacturers
say the rates are too low, why. the prest-
dent can raise them.
This objection comes from opposition
sources. The Democrats have been planning
to attack the Tariff Bill. II was 70 be their
chief source of ammunition against the Re-
pubicans. Bur The flexible tariff plan pours
water on all their gunpowder. They are
naturally indignant and they are charging
that its sole purpose is to fool the voters.
1t might be possible to treat this sort Of
talk seriously if it were not for the fact
that students of tariff legislation in and
out of Congress have been urging the plan
IN l.. La,
cooked up for political emergency.
The second objection Is that the plan de-
stroys all stability in tariff rates. 1t has
frequently been said that business can ad-
just itself to any tariff provided il i assured
that the rates will he pormanent-some Of
the saints. according to tradition, nrcus-
toned themselves TO sleeping on a bed uf
spikes. Every time Congress begins 70 con-
slider a new Tariff BIZ business is checked
and no commitments are made unit! il is
known nat the now law is 10 be.
If we are TO assume that the President
and the Tariff Commission will act in good
faith this objection loses much Of its force
There will be no changes in rates which the
facts admitted by the interested parties do
not Justify There will he no long period
of uncertainty pending III" proclamation OF
a new rate: and rate arrived at after
careful investigation will he more likely to
be equitable than a rate agreed upon by the
vote of Congressman aCtuatod by purely po-
litical motives.
A further objection las been raised,
namely, that the plan IS unconstitutional,
as it involves the surrender by Congress TO
the President Of is taxing power. As the
SMyHne Court has not passed on this qucs-
tion II would be prcsumptuous fDr any lesser
