It has diverted the annual expendi-
ture Of $4,000, 100000 year for bever-
age intoxicants to more helpful busi-
ness activities. 1t has increased the
wealth of the nation by increasing the
productivity and efficiency of labor and
by stopping waste and wreckage caused
by the liquor traffic. 1t has benefited
labor because sobriety means clear
thinking and the power to defend ones
rights.

hospitals for inebriates have closed and
many private institutions have either
closed or turned their buildings over
to other activities. Deaths from alco-
holism in New York City in 1917 were

Arrests for drunkenness have de-
creased in former wet territory ap-
proximately SO per cent. In New York

in 1917 were 13,884, and in 1921 6,247;
in Boston in 1917 1887, and in 1921
S0,40s. The arrests for crimes related
to Intoxicating liquor have decreased
about 40 per cent.
The decreased consumption Of In
toxicating liquor, according to esti-
mates made by opponents Of prohibi-
ton. Is 20 per cent, and the number
Of drinkers of intoxicating liquors in
tho United States has decreased from
2o,ooo,ooo to about 100000.
Thirty-ssven leading insurance COM
panies, which transact 80 per cent of
the life insurance business Of the
country, show that the death rate
among policyholders has been reduced
from 9.S per thousand in 1920 to s.24 in
1921.
The infant mortality rate in b1e
cities Of the United States, according
to the American Child Hygiene Asso-

No Coal Naturalization
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

Sir: It Is becoming apparent to the
thinking public that the labor union
plan Of equal representation Of
operators, miners and the public, or
Of operators and miners only, on a
board of arbitration is based on the
assumption that the representatives of
the public, as we'll as the operators,
will feel the overwhelming pressure
Of numbers Of workers as compared
with operators, and finally yield to
this pressure.
There is dispute between miners and
operators. Why should not this dis
pute be brought before an unbiased
committee Of the public, or before the
courts or some impartial tribunal well
organized? In other cases this Is the
procedure. Why not in strike?
The appeal Is not to justice but to
force in such cases. and this Is still
further proved by the demand for na.
ttonalizing the minors. In ssssncs che

JERSEY COMMUTER.

New-York tribune., 1922-04-12

Prohibition has been gradual
growth. 1t Is great moral reform.
lt Is never possible to measure the re-
suits Of any great moral movement in
terms Of dollars and cents alone. To
attempt to apply such test to pro-
hibition would be as futile as endeavor-
ing to compute the economic value to
the world of Christianity.
There are certain benefits which may
be said to flow directly from prohi-
bition, and others equally great or
greater to which it indirectly contrib
utes. It bears an intimate relation to
life in all Of its aspects-economic
social and moral.
It has outlawed 177,7oo saloons, 1890
breweries and 23s distilleries, whose
product daily tempted the weak, de-
bauched the youth and made poor those
Of moderate incomes.
1t has decreased the withdrawal Of
whisky from 100, 10000 gallons annual
ly before prohibition to 12,600, 900 gal
Ions in 1920 and on the present basis
Of Withdrawals it will be less than
100000 in 1929.
It has stopped The waste Of 1e.665,1s5
bushels of grain in making distilled
liquors and 1909 s.9ss, ,4B7 pounds Of food
Of 3Al {~ l-Aa
eating liquors.
Thrift Barometer
Savings banks, the natural barometefs
Of the thrift of tho country, indicate
a marked increase in savings and in the
number Of depositors, according to the
report from the Comptroller of the
Currency. Returns from e23 mutual
savings banks show that on June 80,
1921, there was a gain Of $338,S36, 900
in the deposits of these banks and
gain Of 1898 in the number Of de-
positors during the last fiscal year.
Life insurance statistics disclose an
enormous increase in the amount of
insurance in force, indicating deeper
appreciation Of the responsibility for
the care Of dependents.
Under the former license system the
cost Of caring for the derelicts created
by the license traffic was imposed upon
the taxpayer and public charity. Pro-
hibition tends to prevent their creation
and thus relieves the necessity for

New-York tribune., 1922-04-12
The Senate's Tariff Bill

Senate yesterday was prepared
under exceptional circumstances. The
public, engrossed in other things, has
exercised little influence on its writ
ing. The Senate committee to an ex-
ceptional degree has been let alone.
1t is, therefore, something of
shock to learn, if the analysis of The
Associated Press is accurate, that
the rates of the bill are, on the
whole, higher than those Of the
Payne-Aldrich law, and particularly
that the wool duties (Schedule X
are higher than those of the House
bill and higher than those against
which the late Senator Dolliver
made his memorable attack. If the
bill is as described, believers in tariff
sanity and reasonableness have need
to grid themselves for another bat
tie. If President Harding stands for
reelection it is scarcely fair to han
dicap him as was President Taft in
1912 by the Payne-Aldrich act.
But, descending from the general
to the particular, it is pleasing to
note that the so-called American
valuation provision as carried by the
Fordney bill when it passed the
House is happily absent from the
Senate draft. Here is good rid
dance--one that suggests that the
Senate has not shut it's ears to rea-
son, and perhaps in other matters
may alter its mind and save the
country from calamity and the Re-
publican party from a colossal blum
der.
When the Senate committee first
began its labors a majority of it's
members favored the provision
Viewed specifically, it was attrac-
tive. Those who quickly saw what
it meant and realized how it would
introduce paralyzing uncertainty
into business almost despaired of it's
defeat. 1t looked as if it were to
be railroaded through and real con-
sideration denied. But the Senate
listened and wisely reversed its first
opinion. American valuation may
be regarded as dead, though Chair
man Fordney apparently does not
know it yet.
American valuation is objection
able for many reasons. Under it
importers making purchase S three or
ak months ahead could not know
what duties would be collectible on
the goods they bought; it would open
the door to surreptitious increases
and decreases of rates, requiring the
selection Of an arbitrary percentage
to be applied to all rates in order to
translate them from the old system
into the new; it would make almost
valueless the appraising decisions of
century, decisions and rulings vital
In the administration of tariff law.
The net effect would thus be to
make 1t impossible for importers
and domestic manufacturers alike to
know where they stood-the one
class as to the duties its members
would be asked to pay, and the sec
ond the price level its members
would be compelled to compete with.
On all counts, therefore, American
valuation is well gone.
As to the Senate bill as a whole,
Its authors are likely to have diff
Guilty in recognizing their child when
it becomes law.

When glad returning robins ra nged
The woods with songs of love.

My youth and health renewing.
And ne peered out behind a clod

Many Happy Returns!

Sir: How can better celebrate my
eightieth birthday than by sending you
the following lines?
OF all the sad surprises
There is nothing to compare
With the treading in the darkness
On step that isn't there.
W. P. H.
Sir Arthur Conan. Doyle has set forth
the matrin,onia! status of residents IN
Paradise, but he continues inerpIcobly
silent on tho subject of oeEest4al prohi-
bition.
If Sir Arthur has any information Of
this nature he should be made to
divulge it for the sake of an ALREADY
over-disillusioned humanity.
1t would be terrific shock to the
spirit Of a prohibition agent, on being
ushered into the abode Of Eternal
Spring, to find the golden streets bor-
dered by May wine and book beer
signs. And picture tho dsmay Of the
wrath of the hootch guzzler who is In
formed that because he broke the mum
dane law he must be sent to q plane
lower than that on which fountains of
f've-star forever flow.
On the other hand, 1t doesn't seem
fair to usher into An arid Paradise
without due warning g soul who had
lived an upright and law-abiding life
on earth In hope Of a wetter hereafter.
Unless Sir Arthur's reticence is born
Of ignorance, the cause of human hap
pness would be served better by hav-
ing showdown on the subject here
and now.
