The Hides Test

In voting down the Finance Com
mittee-farm bloc duties on hides,
boots and shoes and shoe leather the
Senate returned to sound protection
doctrine. The neo-protectionists, led
by Senator Gooding, want to clap
duties on everything produced within
the United States, regardless of the
economic effects of such a policy on
anybody but a relatively limited
group Of producers. They are isola
tionists, working to give the Ameri-
can worker a tightly closed home
market. They ignore the larger ad
vantage of putting the country on
basis to compete freely in the worlds
markets, in addition to supplying do
mestic wants. Whatever extends
trade and broadens employment here
ultimately benefits all by diversity
ing industry and enlarging con-
sumption.
Practically every Republican tariff
bill has put hides, shoe leather and
boots and shoes on the free list.
The reasons for this are plain. We
export boots and shoes to the value
Of $25,00O,000 a year and import
boots and shoes to the value of $780,
900. We lead the world in this in
dustry. What excuse is there for
duty on footwear?
The boot and shoe manufacturers
are obliged to import hides in large
quantities, the domestic supply being
insufficient. A tax on hides might
benefit some cattle raisers, though
this is disputed, the opponents of q
duty saying that the benefit would
go solely to the packing houses. 1t
would, however, increase the average
price of pair of shoes about 20
cents, according to Senator. Lenroot's s
estimate. Considering the interest
Of the country as whole, there is
therefore no prospect of economic
betterment in boot and shoe, shoe
leather and hide duties.
Rational protection seeks to de-
velop economic resources, to increase
occupation and create new national
wealth. None of these objects was
to be attained by the leather sched-
ule duties which the Senate rejected
Common sense fortunately triumphed
over the new Gooding- -Capper con-
ceptions of Chinese Wall protection.

Russia's Unhanged Hostages

The proceedings at Moscow which
have ended in imposing sentences of
death on fourteen leaders of the So
cial Revolutionary party have, of
course, not been a trial. No one.
either inside or outside of Russia, has
pretended that they were. They were
merely an exploring investigation to
discover, from the standpoint of
political expediency, whether it was
better to be merciful or merciless.
The special tribunal appointed to
hear the cases did exactly as the Boil
shevist executive committee directed
The so-called verdict is accompa-
MED by an announcement that the
death penalties will not be inflicted
If the Social Revolutionary party
dissolves. In other words. the con-
victed men are to be treated as
hostages. A moose is about their
Necks which will be frightened If the
members of their party venture to
act in different manner than Le-
nine and Trotzky order. 1t is as if
President Harding, when he took
office. had seized Messrs. Wilson and
Cox, decreed their execution and
then said that if the Democratic
party would go out of existence thew
might escape the gallows.
The policy Of the Soviet govern
ment is frank and the psychology of
its leaders is as simple as that of a
cannibal chiefs as candid as a<sin-
gle-piece bathing suit. There is no
respect for justice. "Do our way, and
your head" they say, sis safe on
your shoulders; but make faces at us
or be other than an obedient prole-
tariat, and we'll choke you to DEATH"
From time to time it has been said
by critics of the Russian experiment.
as it is euphemistically called, that
Bolshevism merely revived czarism.
This is unfair. Bolshevism has
earned the right to be considered
much worse than czarism!
And the Bolshcvists are such pla-
giaristsl Not by word do they ac-

If it is needful that bathing su.ss
be regulated, the remedy is not to
keep the overfrank costume Bearer
off the beach. All that is necessary
might be accomplished by draping the

ceased great-aunt and then sending he,
to parade the sands Of Revere.
The theory of our society Is tha
those over the age of twenty-one sn
capable of disciplining themselves; but
in a multitude of instances the theory
does not work. The meanest man,
the cruelest woman, are both, as &
rule, beyond reach Of the Law. How.
ever, revised "Mikado" system might
be employed to get at them. The
woman with serpent's tongue might
be obliged to go shopping with q harm

Oil Upon the Waters

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: If something could be done in
this vicinity to keep the adjacent waters
free from oil it would, l am sure, be
much appreciated by the people of the
New York and New Jersey resorts, who
now never know when they dive into
wave whether they will reappear on
the other side Of 1t covered with oil or
not. Oil-bilge is nasty stuff to get ON
you.
Here is an interesting clipping on
this subject from "The Baltimore I'm
derwriter and National Agent:
while tremendous Improvement
has been shown in oil-clingage con-
ditions in the Baltimore harbor
through the passage of en- ordinance
and the arresting and fining of ship
ping masters for pumping oil-bilge
into the harbor, still further step
has been decided on as helpful. The
harbor board engineer and the fire
commissioners Of Baltimore found that
some masters were willing to pay
the maximum fine of $100 for the Of
fense, as it was cheaper than paying
for the hauling away of oil-bilge,
At present an ordinance has been in
troduced in the City Council to raise
the fine to $500, and that half Of this
fine go to the informer."

The rend of Justice
(From The Boston Daily Clobe)

After passing sentence the judge
the convicted person a bit of extreme
ly human advice: tells him to give his
pay envelope to his wife and avoid
bootleggers, to tend the garden in
stead of attending prizefghts. The in
genuity of the man on the bench is the
only limit to his advice, and yet his
counsel has the force of law. The
probation officer sees to that. If the
person does what the judge tells him
to, he has no further trouble; if not,
suspended sentence is dropped upon
him and he gets the thirty days.
All that is required to bring about
reformation of those who are
nuisances to their families, friends
and neighbors is lthe application of
American inventive genius. The text
book is still the lines of "The Mikado, !,

The social consequences of giving

My object all sublime
] shall achieve In time
To make the punishment fit the crime,
The punishment fit the crime.
So said the Mikado of W. s. Gilbert s
imagination, but the author can hardly
have hoped that the day would come
when actual Mikados would, from the
bench, mete out such perfect punish
ments. Yet that has come to pass.
Several judges in this part of the
world have been handing down sem
tences suggestive of the poetic justice
foretold in "The Mikado." The man
who kept his horse in filthy stall was
told by the judge to sleep himself in
the same stall for two nights. A
young woman whose wanderings have
been extensive and unwise has found a
special curfew bell ringing for her
each evening. She must be indoors at
9 sharp. The milkman who sold
skinned milk for real must supply
the families he cheated with an extra
portion Of cream.
OF course, there is nothing in the
law books which directs that man
who mistreats a dumb animal shall
have the tables turned on himself, or
that the milk peddler who skins before
delivery shall be compelled to make
restitution with jars Of cream pur-
chased in the open market. The law
itself is dull, unimaginative stuff, pre-
scribing so many dollars fine or SO
many days Imprisonment, or both, for
the offenses which come within it's
view. The handle used by the Mikado-
minded judge is the probationary sys-
TEN, with its suspended sentences.

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
Vain Regrets

Whenever I see, in a movie show,
A hero ride into town.
Break open the villains bungalow
And ruthlessly shoot him down,
Then, giving his riding crop q
swish,
Bid the sheriff a gay adieu-
I sit in my seat and vainly wish
That | was a hero, too.
Whenever he chases a runabout,
With the villain behind the
wheel;
When he lifts a lovely lady out.
With an arm that's as strong
as steel:
And then, with a jovial uncon-
Germ,
Knocks the villains features
flat
I sit in my seat and fondly yearn
For the nerve to behave like
that.
For never in all my plodding life
Have known the thrill and
zest
Of sharing the wild and ardent
life
Of the great and boundless
West.
| never have shot villain down
And scowled while the caitiff
died;
I never have licked all the louts
in town
To win me a charming bride.
am happy enough in my hum
drum way,
Though l never have killed my
man,
AS the heroes do in 9 movie play,
And I fear that I never can.
And now l begin to get along,
And my thread is nearly spun;
begin to think that l started
wrong,
For I've missed quite a lot of
fun.

First Man Set Fire
of Season Reported
in jefferson Forest

The fourth fire reported in the JEFF
ferson forest this season and the first
set by the carelessness of q man, was
reported to headquarters in Great
Falls Wednesday.
The fire was one started along the
trail on Belt creek and the ranger who
reported it said that it evidently had
been started by someone throwing
away a lighted cigarette. When the
ranger came by. supposedly a short
time later, the fire had progressed to
a stage where it covered some 40
square feet or more, but was easily
controlled and e~xtinguished by the
ranger.
OF the previous fires in the forest
this season, two were from lightning
and one from a spark from a loco
motive.
The forests are now becoming dry
and the danger from carelessness of
campers or other persons in the for
ests is growing greater, according to
A. Weholt, assistant supervisor. The
forests dry out less quickly than the
bench country and valleys and the
grass is yet too green to burn easily,
he said. The danger, however, will
not be over in less than a month, and
sometimes fires have broken out as
late as October.

Il Forty-two claims have been received
by Mrs. Harriet Carrier of the home

Tuesday of the tour of the board OF ap-.
peals of the United States veterans
bureau through Montana. The date the
board will be in Great Falls has not

and it is advisable that all ex-service
men who care to have their cases
tried at that time mail or personally
deliver their affidavits and all papers
relative to their eases to the Great
Falls Red Cross office at once.
Only completed cases which have
been disallowed or given unsatisfactory
ratings will be considered and the en-
tire file of all letters and documents
relative to the case must be brought
before the board for investigation. The
board will arrive in Great Falls after
it has completed it's hearings in Helena.
