WHY TARIFF
is NEEDED

A European cartoon reproduced
in this country depicts an English
man returning from a trip loaded
with goods bought in Germany and
boasting that the goods cost him
next to nothing. But British work
men looking on remind him that if
the merchant buys goods in Ger
many which he could get at home
he is putting the British workmen
out of a job. Therein is the sum
of the reasons for a protective
tariff.
just at present we may hear
much about the effect the tariff bill
now under consideration, will have
if it become a law. 1t is claimed
that it will add to the cost of liv-
ing. Even if it should, the man
with a job at good wages is better
able to buy higher priced goods
than one without a job is able to
purchase cheaper goods. Unques-
tionably Germany under present
conditions can produce at a frac-
ton of the cost in this country. The
deprecated currency enables her
to do that. If cheapness is the only
object we should have no barrier
of duties to discourage the impor-
tation of foreign goods. Then We
could buy manufactures at less
than we now pay. Yet, what we
would pay directly for the foreign
goods would not be all that we
would pay. We could pay an adj
ditional sum in the loss in idle in
dustries and idle men.
1t would be ideal, perhaps, could
that which an individual wishes to
buy be duty free and that which he
sells be subject to protective
tariff That appears to be the
kind Of tariff a good many peo-
pie want. The absurdty of such a
proposition is apparent, though Con-
gress in framing tariff law has to
face demands in their essentials not
less ridiculous. Because there are
so many conflicting interests, each.
pulling for itself, is the reason
tariff bill arouses opposition, yet so
long as we have need to raise
revenue from every possible source
duties must be levied. in levying
them we not only get the revenue
but we benefit those citizens who are
producing in competition with the
foreigner who ships his goods here.
All tariff measures arouse opposi-
ton while pending. The present
one seems to be meeting merely the
fate of predecessors.

ARE PROBES
USELESS?

"There ought to be some way of
stopping these fool federal investi-
Cations" says the Inland Oil Index,
editorially. whenever some dema-
cog in Congress finds himself in
danger of not being returned by
his constituents he starts some
idiotic investigation, and usually
picks upon the petroleum industry.
None of these investigations get
anywhere and none ever will"
1t is Unfortunate that the results
of Congressional investigations have
not been such at to inspire great
confidence that the present inquiry
into the constant increase of the
cost of gasoline will afford the peo-
pie relief. Nevertheless the pro-
testation of those defending the
manipulations of petroleum prices
will not quiet the suspicious of the
people aroused by certain fire.
quently published reports as to
petroleum production and accumu-
lated stocks.
A very important branch of the
oil industry itself has made the
charges which found the belief that
no good reason exists for advancing
gasoline prices. The independent
oil producers made the statement
that there is now "above ground
and in storage in the United States
the greatest amount of oil in stor-
age in the history of all time" The
fact was confirmed by the United
States geological survey. Not
withstanding, during the past year,
when the greatest additions of sur
plus stock have been made the
price of gasoline to consumers has
increased 2 per cent. 1t is cur
rently reported that the production
and distribution of petroleum pro-
ducts is so controlled that these
price advances were possible wholly
without reference to stocks on hand.
These are the reasons prompt
ing the demand of gasoline users
for an official investigation and
publication of the facts. The en-
terprise is not that of some isolated
"demagogs." 1t may be well for the
petroleum interests to recognize
with whom they have to deal in
this matter. Nor is it the part of
wisdom to boast that the govern
ment is SO constituted that it can
not serve the peoples interests
if the oil companies interpose a
veto. It is exceedingly dangerous
for any group of individuals TO
claim to be bigger and more power
full than the government of the
United States.

BAD FOR
AVIATION

The best stunt for aviation in
this country would be to put an
end to stunt flying, save as it may
be required by the tactics of the
air service of the army and navy.
As means of public entertain
ment it is menace.
A young man is chopped to pieces
IN mldair as he attempts to pass
from one plane to another. Thou
sands of persons see his mangled
body hurtled 1000 feet to earth.
The loss of the young mans life
in this useless performance is a
tragedy. The effect upon the spec
tators is not to be calculated. The
interests of aviation would have
been benefited not one whit had the
feat been successful; the failure
adds to the popular impression that
the use of airplanes is impracticable
and foolishly perilous.
What aviation needs is con-
eihdodo, pIdCtlCdl demonstration IN
useful ways. And the country is
in need of such demonstrations
The airplane has passed the ex-
perimental stage and is rapidly
making for itself an important place
in the service transportation. Its
future will surpass all present ex-
pectation, but it needs, above all
things, public confidence. Under
takings which especially emphasize
perils, mishaps and shocking ac-
cidents do not have favorable in
fiuence upon the public mind.
The flyer who carries mail be-
tween important points, and per-
forms this important service con-
sistently, continuously and promptly,
is performing the stunt that will
do most for aviation and for the
important chain of business inter-
ests promoting the making and use
of the airplane.

FEWER AUTO
ACCIDENTS

According to the National Bureau
Of Casualty and Surety Under
writers, automobile accidents caused
the death of 1880 persons in this
country last year and the injury of
over 100000. The number of ac-
cidents increased 4 per cent over
1920. For business reasons" as
the bureau frankly state, its men,
bers have subscribed substantial
sum of money to institute an ac-
cident prevention movement.
For the first time the companies
issuing automobile insurance will
undertake campaign of this kind.
For many years the fire and life in
surance companies and those issu-
ing policies against industrial ac-
cidents have been engaged in pre-
ventive work. The automobile in
surance companies feel that it is
time to follow their example. The
bureau will seek to promote better
control of traffic conditions, de-
velopment of safety education in
public schools and among drivers
and "the stimulation of an itel-
hgent and effective treatment of the
problem by local communities"
The National Safety Council re-
Gently announced that 80 of the
largest cities had reduced motor
vehicle accidents in 1921 as COM
pared with 1920. This statement
is not inconsistent with that of the
insurance companies. In these cities
special local efforts were made to
prevent accidents. st Louis de-
creased motor fatalities by five, de-
spite an increase of 10000 in the
number of motor cars in use. In
1921, Notwithstanding increased
population and greatly increased
vehicular traffic, $50 fewer per-
son were killed than in 1917. De-
troit decreased fatalities from all
traffic accidents from 240 in 1920
to 1874 in 1921. Buffalo's motor
fatality record in 1921 was 81, COM
pared with n the preceding year.
The death toll from motor ac-
cidents can and must be reduced.
Organized community efforts and
cooperation between authorities
and the general public will gain
the victory.

A MONEY
MAKING SCHEME

If Winnemuccans asst Reno in
that city's latest scheme for MAX
ing money, by means of a contest
to determine what Nevada young
lady will carry an invitation to
President Harding to attend Reno's
rodeo, then Winnemuccans can
properly be accused of disloyalty
to home interests. The Reno con-
test is nothing more than the old
queen contest scheme worked over
"a money making scheme purely
and simply wherein the promoter
usually gets half of the gross pro-
ceeds in return for no valuable SER
vice performed. Winhemucca is
to have a Labor day celebration and
if this city is to donate toward the
success of any such occasion-as
with other things, let's keep the
money at home.

A WOMAN FOUND
CAMP OF T0N0PAH

The suggestion has been made,
and most aptly, that the people of
southern Nevada should, by popular
subscription, provide sum to be
used in erecting a mausoleum to
the memory of the late Mrs. J.
Butler, the Mother" of Nevada,
says the Tonopah Bonanza.
The Bonanza concurs in the idea
intellectually, and offers the sug-
gestion that this mausoleum be con-
structed on the top of Mount Oddie,
overlooking the great Mizpah ledge
which was named by Mrs. Butler
as result of knocking the crop
pings from the great ledge, while
practically exhausted and awaiting
some word from her husband who
was searching the hills and ravines
for his lost horses.
Assurance has practically been
given that Mr.. Butler will look with
favor upon the construction of a
mausoleum on Mount eddie, be-
cause it was the discovery of Tono-
pah by his wife-the Tonopah that
has since added countless millions
to the treasury of the world, and
the Tonopah that has since proved
the salvation of the Sagebrush state,
when she seemed to be declining
into decay.
1t would be a fitting tribute to
one whom we owe our very exist
ence, and no more prettier compli-
ment could be paid to the departed
loved one-the Mother of Nevada
and Tonopah," and her surviving
relatives, than constructing high on
the loftiest point of Mount. Oddie,
mausoleum, large enough to per-
nit of resting in everlasting peace
the body of Mrs. Jim" Butler, and
when the ebb of life has ceased
flowing, also the remains of her
loved husband, "Jim" Butler, the
Father of Tonopah."
Surely had the wishes of Mrs.
Butler been considered in this mat
ter she would have readily acqui-
esced; certainly when Mr., Butler is
sounded on this subject, he will do
likewise. Mrs. Butler loved Tono-
pah; she loved the desert and had
much to do with making it blossom,
for had she not lived in southern
Nevada the greater part of her life;
she loved the miner; she loved the
very air she breathed, and her heart
was conferred upon Tonopah and life
made brighter as she witnessed the
wealth that came flowing from the
inner recesses of the earth that has
had so much to do In bringing cheer
to the homes of thousands of others.
1t does not seem right; 1t does
not seem just, that the body of Mrs.
Butler should be permitted to rest
outside of Nevada. It does not
seem proper that when the Grim
Reaper beckons the loving and de-
voted husband Of his former help
mate in life to his everlasting home,
