AN AMERICAN TARIFF

With President Harding's approval OF
the Fordney- McC umber tariff bill, needed
legislation, whose working out was neces-
sarily difficult, reaches successful conclu-
sion. The new tariff law may not be per-
feet, but it more nearly meets requirements
for scientific apportionment of duties than
any protective legislation ever enacted by
an American congress on this subject. Its
passage through the two houses may seem
to have been long, but time was necessary
to attain the desired degree of protective
efficiency. 1t may not include every inter-
est that might be bettered by protection,
but it comes nearer to being an "all-Ameri-
can" tariff bill than any of those proceed
ing it.
For the first time in history agricultural
interests figure large in the protective
schedules The farmer, who under previ-
GUS tariff laws has to certain extent been
left out in the cold, is by this measure af-
forded substantial protection. The SEIZED
ules of this law have been prepared with a
view to extending protection where it is
needed-and without respect to section or
the political complexion of sections af-
fected.
A notable feature of the bill is the pro-
vision for elasticity. Realizing that chang
ing conditions relative to cost of produc-
ton at home and abroad might necessitate
changes in rates-if protection is to be
kept at proper points makers wrote
into it terms providing for determination
of the need for such changes and their eff
fectuation by the executive. This fexibil-
ity is essential to the scientific application
of. tariff and is to be listed as long stride
forward in protection.
The enactment Of this legislation clears
the way along one Of the widest avenues
leading to increased prosperity. With in
dusry and trade definitely assured as to
the protection to be extended, business ac-
tivities will surely find stimulant The re-
action of economic conditions under the
emergency tariff is an indication of the re-
action to be expected under the permanent
tariff. The routing of depression that fol-
lowed so swiftly on'the heels of that tenn
porary legislation is an earnest of the re-
suits of this law.

to see that the woman was his wife.
Being a Los Angeles policeman's
wife probably gave her inside in

contempt for law.

Mr.. Townley writes exclusively for the
Leader. A page by him appears in
every issue. He has now completed
his 90-day sentence in the jackson
county jail Elsewhere in this issue
we report his first speech since leaving
jail, at reception and big meeting for
him at Minneapolis, and we also give
the facts about the new case brought
against him, which has been played up
in the newspapers all over the country.
Mr.. Townley will continue to write a
page in every issue of the Leader. He
believes the Leader the best medium
through which to reach the farmers.
Don't miss his articles. They ap-
pear only in the National Leader. |
The National leader., 1922-02-20

I wonder why that makes me think
Of the conferences the president has
beemhaving in Washington? Itseems
absurd, doesn't it? wonder if there's
any resemblance. "
You will remember there was a con-
ference early in the winter about en-
ployment. All the wise experts from
all over the land were there. Millions
OF men were out of work; something
must. be done. The conference met
and considered the problem, long and
earnestly. Then the conference pass
ed some. resolutions and adjourned.
Yesterday | walked on the street in
Minneapolis and man stopped to ask
me for the price of a meal. ''Times are
terrible, BROTHER" he said: There's
hundreds Of us here in town looking
for work and we can't get it. You
don't happen to know Of a job, do
you?" - .
I didn't. I couldn't do any better
than the presidents conference. Yes
