THE PRESIDENTS NEW POWER

Senator Lodge said in effect two
years ago at the Republican Ma
tional Convention: Let us get
rid Of Wilson and his party. The
President has usurped the func-
tons OF congress as defined in the
constitution. He is a dangerous
autocrat.
In came Harding the antithcSiS
OF the autocrat as the result of the
reaction against the leadership IN
the White House. Now the same
men who feared and detested 4
President like Wilson have put
crown on Harding's head. In the
new tariff law they have given
the President the power to deter
mine what the rates of duty shall
be throughout the entire dutiable
list. 1t is d blank check for the
President to fill in and sign. And
according to Senator Simmons.
The ranking Democrat on the SEN
ate finance committee, President
Harding can write into this check
the sum OF at least five billions OF
dollars as profits to the special IN
tcrcsts and as a tax to be paid by
the American people.
But why was the, amiablc gcn-
tlcnan who was put into the White
House in response to the clamor
against the autocrat' in turn
clothed with the powers OF an
economic autocrat; The RepubIi-
cans determined ii they car<e into
power that there must be d new
protective tariff written by them
into the law but the world OF
prices and values were never in
such a flux. For more than eish-
teen months they have WrcStled
with the tariff problem.
The house passed bill with
American valuation. The senate
passed a bill with higher rates but
with foreign valuation and gave
the President the power to raise
or lower the rates ON dycstutfs ard
a few other commodities. The
conference committee assumed the
role OF legislator according to the
Democrats. 1t reported a bill
with the American valuation plan
OF the house and with the senate
authority to the President on dye
stulfs extended to all the rates III
The bin.
The bill came ont OF the con-
terence committee hopper and now
goe to the President as something
catireN different from the biH
timer house had originally passed
the tariff buck up to the President.
This new sweeping revolution
arr po,er in the hands OF strong,
ambitious, man i'll the White
House might tempt him to become
an au,ocrat. But that is not ITS
greatest danger, What IS to be
most feared in the view OF STU
dents OF this abrupt departure
from what they believe TO be the
plain meaning OF the constitution
is the placing OF TINS power in the
hands OF an aniabIe, or weak
President. who believes in a nigh
tariff and who is inclined to listen
to the demands OF the tariff ba-
ron~. In other words these Spe-
c;al interests can lar more easily
dominate such a man in the White
House who may want second
term .han they can congress OF
l45I men divided between the two
great parties.

PROVES ANTIQUITY OF PERU
According to University Of Pennsyl-
vania Professor. the Country Was
Founded Before Roman Empire.

A professor of the University Of
PENNSYLVANIA claims to have traced the
history Of Peru back 10 500 Is. &.
That date Is earlier than any trust
worthy detailed history of Europe. II
is before the founding Of Rome, before
the days OF Scion at Athens. In fact,
Il comes about midway between Homer
and Scion. The empires Of the East
are far older. Of course; but Peru had
been IA going concern some centuries
before NehuchadnezZar became king
of Babylon. Apparently, civilization
Of the Western continent IS older than
had been supposed.
The marvel Is that with 81 many
centuries no greater advance was
made. old MS Peru seems, the clylliza-
tion of which Homer sang was at
least NJ high rs anything which the
Spanlard found In South America In
the sixteenth century. With 300
years of recorded development, II
seems strange that iron was unknown,
that even copper was used with less
confidence than In the ancient life of
the old world. that domestic, animals
were So fcwNnd so imperfectly tanned,
The one outstanding achievement was
the royal highway system.

issued a proclamation to the People

of the document No. o. shorn u

milllards gold marks, from which amount the following deductions should be made; Thirty milliards gold marks in state property thelong- Ing to the empire individual states, and local authorities, such as rail- ways, canals, forests. etc), l3 milli- ards Of property held by the poorest classes which escapes taxation, and further, a sum amounting to about 20 per cent of the total which either Is especially favored by the regula- tions for economic reasons, or man. ages to evade taxation. This amounts to about 65 milliards gold marks.
 Deductions
 Dedueting these los milliards from the pre-war average of estimates, a balance Of 222 milliards remains. From this total, however, Reconstruc- ton states. the following sums must be deducted as result of the war: Twenty-Five milliards in values de- stroyed by the war (amounting or lginally to so milliards. one half hav- Ing been made good by reconstruc- lon); 30 milliards loss on capital in- iested abroad; 25 milliards loss of territory. and 10 milliards surrendered 70 the Entente in railways, ships. etc
 The sum left after taking off these 70 milliards in losses, the publica- ion sets roundly at 13o milliards sold marks. In converting gold Into paper marks, 1t states, the following ndex numbers based on the prices 'urrent in the home German market mould be employed: Personal and cal property, IS, town landed prop rty, ?; rural landed property, 10; inning property, 10, and goods, ships. tc., 60.
 When the various categories of are multiplied by these fig tres their values in paper marks are etermined. According to this cal ulation. the average depreciation in- ex figure is thus giving 1850 mtlu- rds paper marks as equivalent to 30 milliards in gold.
 The question then arises" says Reconstruction, How is the gold alue of this property to be main alned?' The experts who have made his calculation during the past few Teeks are convinced that the gold alue is an important factor in any onest economic policy, whether for nanclal or reparation purposes
