Benefits We're Real

DOR MONTHS the Democratic press, following
L the lead of the Democratic national committee
and Democratic members of congress. has been
claiming the emergency tariff, enacted by the spe-
cial session of the Republican congress, is a gold
brick, insofar as the American farmer is concerned.
This charge has been repeated so often that its
constant reiteration has carried conviction in some
quarters where the facts were not known. The
farmer and live stock grower have not been deceived
by this campaign of Democratic Misrepresentation
because they know what the beneficial effects of the
emergency tariff have actually been. The best evil
dence, with the exception of the official market quo
tations, that the emergency tariff has not proved a
gold brick" to the agricultural sections of the coun-
try is the fact that no representative from any agri-
cultural community has made any effort to have
the emergency tariff repealed, which would natu-
rally be so were the tariff ineffective as a protec,
tive measure to farming interests.
Democratic critics of the tariff have based al
most all their charges of its inefectiveness upon the
fact that since it became a law in May, 1921, prices
of grain and of live stock have declined in the
United States. In stressing this fact and using it
as alleged proof of the failure of the emergency
tariff, Democratic speakers, such as Senator HITCH
COCK, of Nebraska, have been guilty of conveying
a very false impression by the old dishonest method
of stating only half a truth.
Had Democratic critics of the emergency tariff
been honest they would have given the range of
prices of grain and live stock not only in this coun,
try since tho tariff became a law, but in Canada
and in other primary markets of the world. They
dld not 60 TINS. The reason they did not is at once
evident from an inspection of the market quotations
in Winnipeg, Toronto, Liverpool, Buenos Aires and
other primary markets for grain and live stock.
The market quotations the world over for grain
and live stock since May, 1921, show that prices for
all kinds of agricultural products have declined in
every market. The significant thing is that prices
for farm products and live stock in the United
States have declined far less than prices for SINH
lar products in any other nation of the world where
there is a market for grain or live stock.
Reaten in their effort to show that the emergency
tariff has not benefited farm prices, some Demo

Contingent Funds

A CONTINGENT fund is a fund appropriated by
! the legislature and placed at the disposal of
state officers to expend as they see fit. These funds
are intended to be disbursed in payment of the legiti.
mate expenses of the several offices. So far as the
Taxpayers are concerned they never learn where the
money goes or what it goes for.
Since the CAKEY administration came in the con-
tingent funds have increased from SOL $50 to $751;
554. Hereis a rise of $255,904. 1t exceeds a quarter
of a million dollars. Quite a sum to the back town
ship taxpayer and one he may rightfully inquire
about. Some of it his own money, dug up by hard
work and sacrifice that officials might have luxuri-
Gus appointments, and devices to save themselves ex-
|ertion.
There is no excuse for the great increase In the
funds referred to. The present is the time to save
and cut expenses and the state is no better than
its humblest citizen in TINS respect. 1t should set
the example.
The contingent fund as a general principle is a
temptation to waste and extravaganza.
Will JOSEPH kindly inquire of RcsERr Where
the money goes?"

Professor Gross explains tina the
association OF black mustaches with

~tances Of the northern European PEG
pies. His theory is hat the blond
races which settled America were al
ways at war with the dark southern
people n grew to associate the
black boards of their enemies with
wickedness. Professor Cross could
make out an excellent case for this
theory from the legendary literature
and fair- lore of the northern races,
but his explanation. though plausible,
is not convincing.
specialists are prone to place
everything in relation to their spe-
cialty. and Professor Cross is inten-
slvely interested in literary origins or
he would not be a professor Of com
parative literature. And so It is nat
ural for him to build up such a the.
Dry as he did. overlooking the obvious
fact that the association OF darkness
with evil is instructive with the hui
fnan race. That explanation is at
least as plausible as his own.
1.-THE professor ascIibes the evil
symbolism of the cigarette to strong
opinions taken by the public fifty
years ago, which persist in the un-
conscious views of the race and come
to light in its writing. 1t is indeed
remarkable that in a time when Gig
arettes are smoked by nearly every
body. $1,000 persons, of whom prob.
ably 15 5000 use cigarettes themselves,
should in the average represent the
cigarette as standing for weakness
and untrustworthiness. Professor
Cross must be right. There does not
seem to be any other explanation.

Straight Talk

IT is ENoUGH that the state tax rate has adj
i vanced during the CAREY administration from
3 5000 to ( 351O0 mills in the face of a property
valuation increase from S24617S,O3S TO s412,792,691
and a revenue increase from taxation from s961 ,924
10 S1.6+4,431.
Study the figures closely.
They prove that there was s166,614,653 more prop
erty to tax during during the CAREY administration
than there was previous to it.
They prove that the state received S6s2,507 more
in tax money in 1921 than it did in the first year
of the CAREY regime.
They prove that the CAREY administration is cost
ing the people of the state annually approximately
three-quarters of a million more than it should.
They prove the unftness of the CAREY admins
tration to longer conduct the public business of the
people.
They prove also the overwhelming demand for a
man of the type of JoHN HAY at the helm Of state
affairs who will establish efficiency in public bust
ness and economy in its conduct.
The reckless extravaganza of the CAREY admins
tration means only bankruptcy of the state and the
poverty of the people.
