FoRD's TALK.

Some men fall to appreciate the One believes that Henry Ford is big hearted man, His treatment Of cate this It would be good thing 1T there were more employers who followed his example, say some.
 But because of Mir. Ford's popu- larity his words are given undue weight and he seems 10 fall to realize that he should not discuss matters he knows nothing about. It has been shown in court-in his cross-exam- nation in the libel suit he brought against the paper which called him an Ignorant idealist"-that he does not understand the meaning Of com paratively common words. Yet he does not seem to hesitate to discuss matters upon which his opinion is valueless. .
 But what he says Is lauded because Of his popularity among a certain class of people. It is probable that he does not realize the harm his un- considered remarks may do. The only psychology with which he is familiar is the psychology of an en- zine, and that is governed more or less. by fixed laws. Owners of "Fords" insist however, that those laws are elastic.
 He now says that the moneyed in- terests of Wall street are behind every disturbance in the ranks of capital and labor. and If we get them" we will bring about industrial peace.
 Haters of Capital. and opponents of Labor" will resent this statement. Capital will laugh at 1t and Labor will denounce it. And yet the state- ment coming from Henry Ford, ridic- uous as it is, only adds to labor's sense of injustice and makes capital all the more heartless. Men like Henry Ford, admiral ble in many ways, should be careful how they talk

REFUSE ETC.

The committee appointed to look into the matter of municipal collec- tion of refuse Is going about its work seriously. It Is visiting and commu- nicating with several nearby cities with view to ascertainins data on which to base a report to the com mon council as to a plan to be adopted here if possible.
 The committee is going about it's work seriously, And yet it is be- lieved that there is feeling that 1t will be some time before the council, refecting public sentiment will feel it best to adopt any plan looking 10 an orderly and systematic collection of refuse. At least one member of the committee, an ardent advocate of the plan that, in general, is wise and progressive, has expressed his doubts privately as to the possibility of per suading the council to spend the money necessary This mental atti- tude of mild hopelessness, in consid- ering progressive improvement. is the result Of the general attitude of the council toward anything that costs money. The first question that is asked is How much will 1t cost?" not How badly do we need its" In one case the need was admitted zen.

LOCAL LAND VALUES,

It is possible that opinions may differ as to the correctness of the announced estimates of land values here, given by the assessors CO., operative committee. There would seem to be little question, however, IS to the value Of the assistance such a committee is able to give the asses sors, if there is full cooperation by the taxpayers and the assessors At the time the appointment of such a committee was suegest9, there seemed to be some question as to whether or not the assessors would welcome the help of such a body. It is to be hoped this question is set tled and that the work of the com- mittee is being and will be facilitated and the committee retained.
 It would be advisable to have the committee a permanent one, as to personnel, as far as practicable. The viewpoint or men appraising land from a judicial standpoint differs from that of one appraising with an idea of buying or selling Members of the committee would gradually acquire this judicial viewpoint. when doing the work given it, and increas- ing familiarity with such duties would result in appraisals that would be- come fair the longer the committee remained in power. One of it's sug- gestions, as bearing on this point is of especial value. It advises that the assessors-and through them. the committee--be notified of any im- provements made in the city to the end that the basic values may be correspondngly changed This prac- tice would bring the gradual change in assessment that would be proper and fair, and prevent the sudden jumps which bring many complaints.

HEREIN.

It is rather slur upon a states reputation to confess that one looks through the list of those seeking evl- dence against the guilty in the Herrin outrage matter. in the hope Of finding someone who is active who is not representative of Williamson county Illinois, or of the state of Illinois. It would give more hope that the guilty will be found and punished, if the name of some United States official were mentioned as directing the gath ering Of evidence in this matter.
 The officials of Williamson county have been placed" in the mind of the public which longs to see the out rage sifted to the bottom, the guilty punished, Upon those county officials has been placed the blame for the delay i& doing somsthing, Com paisance under such circumstances cannot be underStood by those far run lHe lel1 or the recent crimes. Yet the county officials seem to have been complaisant. The state officials have not displayed any energy in talk ing the proper steps to discover who are the guilty as the first move toward experimenting and punishing them. The personal troubles of Gov ernor Small have occupied his atten- tion, but that is no excuse for the lack of even decent attention that has been given this outrage which not only brands the black stamp upon the county and state. but which also taints the whole country.
 Possibly the attitude of Williamson county officials and the state officials does not make them, as officials, ac- compices after the fact. but an utter failure to fix the blame and drop- ping of the matter should not be allowed to pass without effective action by the highest power in the state--the people, a majority of whom 1t must be, abhors the thought of the terrible affair.

THE CONSTITUTION.

The American Bar Associations committee on American ideals has made a report dealing with the con stitution, which brings up important considerations, After stating that many people believe the constitptloh aids the powerful and rich, especially, the report says: They (many peo- ole) do not know that the constitu- tional limitation invoked by the cor poration to protect its property Tn time of danger (through the injunc- ton. for instance-Ed) is exactly the same limitation upon which the widow, the, working man and the farmer rely to guard their possessions against wrongful invasion. Be- cause injunctions are issued in certain cases judges are bitterly criticised, when 10 deny the right of injunction would be to violate the oath the nudge has taken to administer the law as it is. It Is much better for individuals and for society that wrong should be prevented than to award damages after wrong is done. . Resistance to authority is resistance to the will of the people, who can have any law they desire"
 It is time people realized to what they are indebted for their welfare. It is to the limitations of the consti- tuition upheld by the courts Were it not for these any man could pick up and use for himself anything he wanted, no matter to whom it be- longed. The people want things to be protected; they are protected. If most of the people wanted unlimited license and should organize to get it, there would be unlimited license be- cause the people could abolish all law. Chaos and anarchy and blood and suffering would prevail and it would be a pretty uncomfortable country in which to live.
 A man wants to feel he can have a home where he may live He wants to be sure that home will be there at night when he gets home from work So he elects a government to protect that home-he exercises his constitutional right. The moment he . attacks that government, that con- stitution upon which the government is founded, he attacks the body which assures him his home will be there at night when he gets through work If he destroys the government, the courts which are arms of the gov ernment, he threatens his home. No government; no assurance that some one else, during the day, will not step in and occupy that home.
 If someone starts to take his home from him or to burn it down, he can get an injunction and stop him-he can exercise his constitutional right.
 Thus, on consideration, the danger of advocating any movement by a group of the people which would defy the government or which would seek to destroy any constitutional limitation, as against the welfare of the whole people, may be seen, And the poorer the man, the fewer his material resources, the more he would suffer.

EMPOWERED
 ID CHANCE DUTIES
Senate Approves Proposal to Place
 Powers in Executives Hands

Washington, Aug. 12.-A flexible tariff plan proposing authority for the president to increase or decrease tariff rates in the pending bill until July l, 1924, was approved last night by the senate. The vote was 3s to 20, with three republicans opposing and two democrats supporting.
 The roll call on the flexible tariff follows:
 For a flexible tariff: .
 Republicans: Brandesee Bursum, Calder. Cameron, Capper. Colt. Cur tis, Dillingham;, Edge, Frelinshuysen, Hale, Harreld, Jones of Washington, Keys, Lenroot, Lodge. Mccormick, Mclean. Moses. Nicholson. Norbeck, Oddie. Pepper. Phipps, shortridge, smoot, Spencer, Sterling, Sutherland, Townsend, Wadsworth, Warren and Watson of 1ndiana-34.
 Democrats: Broussard and Kend- rick-2; total 3s.
 Against flexible tariff:
 Republicans: Goodins, McNary and stanfeld-3
 Democrats: Ashurst, Dial. Fletcher, Gerry. Henin. Hitchcock, Jones of New Mexico. Myers, Overman, Pom. creme, Ransdell, Reed, Shepard, Sim. mons, Smith, Trammel and Walsh of Montana-17; total 20.
 Just before approving the plan the senate adopted, 24 to 1s, an amend ment by Senators Bursum, republican, New Mexico, which would provide that after July 1, 1924. no duties could be changed except by authori- ty of congress. Eighteen republicans and all of the democrats supported this amendment.
 Sharply Modified.
 The plan as finally approved is . sharp modification of that originally proposed The president is prohibited from using American valuation ex- cept in the case of dyes and certain coal tar chemicals, covered in two paragraphs of the bill and is re- quired to base changes in rates on the differences in the costs of pro- duction" at home and abroad in- stead of on differences in Conditions of competition
 Also the president could not change duties from specific to ad valorem or from ad valorem to specific nor trans fer articles from the dutiable list to the free list or from the free list to the dutiable list, nor could he raise any rate beyond any maximums spe- cialy fixed in the bill. Among items limited to 30 per cent of the figures fixed In the bill would become ef- fective within SO days after the is- suing of proclamation providing for such changes, but proclamation could not be issued until there had been investigation and a report of findings as to facts by the tariff com- mission. The president would be re- quired to make public these findings as soon as practicable after the changes had been proclaimed.
 With the flexible tariff out of the way, the senate began consideration of the so-called scientific tariff amendments proposed by Senator Frelinshuysen. republican, New Jer- sey and Jones. democrat, New Mexi- co. The Freinghuysen amendment was rejected 34 to IS. Three demo- crats, Ashurt, Hitchcock and Kend- rick supported it.

LACK OF APPRECIATION.

We, as a people, are about as ap preciative of the things that are being done for us, the investigations being made to bring greater comfort to us, right all the sacrifices made for him without even saying Thank you" stop to express our satisfaction with the weather, but we are not especially sincere when we perfunctorily give thanks for it. But in regard to the conveniences of life-we don't write Edison about electricity: we never spoke or communicated with the late Dr. Bell, telling him how much we appreciated the telephone. In fact we take these things for granted and go about appreciating. most of all, ourselves.
