Overlooked Lands Exempted.

BY vote of - yeas to 0 nays,
the Senate a few days ago, passed
a bill by G. II. Couvillon of Avoveles
to amend Section of Article 10 of
the constitution so as to exempt over
flowed lan's from taxation. The
proposed amendment reads. "Over-
flowed farms or plantations becoming
non-productive by such inundation
shall be exempt from taxation for
the year or years, said overfows oc-
CURED. This exemption shall in
cludc the Year 1922" Although many
amendments to the constitution have
been introduced in both houses, this
was the first to pass either house
at the present session. 1t now goes
to the House where it is expected to
receive Il practically unanimous vote.

Republican Press Condemns Senate
Tariff Bill. ISL.


Here are some additional editorial
opinions on the Fordney- Me- umber
tariff bill from leading Republican pa
pers:
The st. Louis Globe Democrat, the
leading Republican organ of the
| Southwest, says: "The bill seems to
have applied the principle of protec-
ton to everything. without regard to
present world conditions and without
regard to our altered position in rela-
tion to the worlds trade. IF orr tariff
docs not permit fair competition with
other countries how are we to main
tain the world trade that is now so
essential to our prosperity?
The Boston Transcript, the grand
mother of the New England Republi-
can press, expresses the opinion that
party guidance is thrown to the winds
with respect to the tariff and says this
is undoubtedly due to the prevalent
chaotic conditions of interest and of
views. 1t then adds: "There may be
some consolation in the fact that it
will take long time to straighten out
the chaos of views and that the delay
will give an opportunity to get rid
of some of the injustices involved in
the Senate bill. But in the mean
time, the manufacturers Of the coun-
try are carrying all or most of the
expenses involved by the war with
out the market which the war created
and are consequently pretty nearly
paralyzed. In this situation they are
to some extent prepared to regard
strikes as a blessing and are content
to let the tariff repose at the switch"

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, May 8.-The fourteen
points which Senator Simmons (Dem.,
N. c. made against the Calamity
Tariff bill epitomized the main OBJ
jections to the measure and formed
the basis for the mastery discussion
of the principal features of the bill
and the economic situation by the
Senator from North Carolina, former
chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, which followed.
Senator Simmons fourteen points
in turn may be epitomized as follows:
/. The bill was framed with view
of maintaining present prices and to
enable protected industries to further
advance high prices without the risk
of foreign competition.

Republicans to Aid Senator Kendrick
in Exposing Oil Scandal.

III Exposing VII ocaTuai.
Senator LaFollette (Rep., Wis., is
backing up Senator Kendrick (Dem.,
Wyo.) who brought to light the scam
DIAL of leasing the naval oil reserves
to Standard Oil subsidiaries, by a
resolution directing the Secretary of
the Interior to send to the Senate a
list of all oil leases in the California
and Wyoming naval oil reserves, but
according to a reliable Republican pa
per Senator'S Smoot and Curtis have
notified Senator LaFollette that his
resolution will not be allowed to pass
if they can prevent it.
Secretary Fall in statement issued
by the Interior Department officials,
undertook to justify these leases by
saying that naval oil reserve terri
tories had been tapped by private in
terests under the previous admins
tration. This aroused former Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels, who not on
ly showed that the oil reserves had
not been tapped but who showed con-
clusively that he had prevented such
action.
When the LaFollette resolution is
called up it is certain to receive the
support of other Republican Senators,
and when the facts are known there is
every indication that the turning over
Of these oil lands reserved for the oil
burning ships of the navy will prove
to be one of the most odorous scan
dals that follow the alliance of the big
interests with reactionary politics.

Here's how figure it out" says he,
With my ears to hear and my eyes to see
And my legs to walk and my hands to work.
And head to bow and cap to jerk
Whenever dame that know goes by
It's we-equipped for this life am I.
Kings and princes and high and low
Have noses to smell when the blossoms blow,
And eyes to see, but don't suppose

Or sees more charm with his kihgy eye

But eyes and ears and legs and hands
Don't always follow the same commands;
And some find beauty in dollar bills,
And some in the streams and the misty hills;
Some people hear nothing but mortal words,
And some are tuned to the songs of birds.
Some grapple with facts that are stiff and cold
And some visions all tipped with gold;
Some hands tender and others rough,
And some are gentle and others gruff;
But each must follow life's pathway through,
Doing the things which he likes to do.

! protect the industry, and therefore
the article must be transferred to the
American valuation, with the rate at
tached under the American valuation.
In that event, of course, the duties
will be exceedingly high. There is no
doubt about that; no one is trying to
deny it; in fact, will say to the SEN
ator now that If the duty under the
foreign valuation was go per cent,
which did not give sufficient protec-
ton, and the article were transferred
to American valuation, and the Presi-
dent exercised all power which he is
authorized to exercise under this bill
and increased that go per cent duty to
one of 80 per cent, under the Ameri-
can valuation, that would mean there
would be 900 per cent duty on that
article. | do not deny it; there is no
question about. The American peo-
pie might just as well know it now
as at any other time, but / do not
want Senators to be deceived about
it."
1t is only proper to pay tribute to
Senator Shoots frankness. He is
one of the few Republican Senators
who admits facts. He is the one Sem
ator who has repeatedly told the SEN
ate that there will be no reduction in
taxation, despite all the pretentions
of his fellow-Senators and of the
President himself that they were prac.
ticing great economy and saving mon
ey and reducing taxes.

Senator Jones of New Mexico Expos.
es Ruinous Policy of Rate
Fixing hy Executive

An explanation of some of the ad-
ministrative features of the tariff bill
by Senator Smoot (Rep., Utah)
brought on a colloquy between him
self and Senator Andrieus A. Jones
(Dem., N. Mex over the provision in
the bill which gives the President
power to fix tariff rates and to shift
items from the foreign valuation to
the American valuation. It takes a
pretty good man to get the better of
the Utah Senator in tariff argument.
but Senator Jones apparently did it
with ease. He contended that the
President was practically empowered
to fix tariff rates without limit which
Senator Smoot denied. Senator Jones
then gave his illustration:
San article sells for So. If the
tariff rate is so per cent, that would
mean a $4 tariff. The Senator allows
rs per cent as the overhead and profit
of the importer. That would mean
another 50. He allows another 10
per cent as transportation charges,
which would be 80 cents. So of the
So he has taken up S4 of it in duty,
So in overhead and profit of the i'm
porter and so cents for transporta-
ton. or $3.50.
Therefore, the article which cost
only $3.50 in the foreign countries
must sell for So in this market in or
der to pay the so per cent tariff un-
der the American valuation plan. He
has 81 of tariff under that plan. But
if it were 80 per cent upon the for
eign valuation plan he would have
only so per cent or $1.20. which would
be go cents. We have there varia-
ton from 60 per cent tariff upon an
article to 81 upon the same article,
and that is what is meant by the pro-
posed change from foreign to an
American valuation plan. When any
one talks to me about giving the pow
err to the President to change the du-
tv from 60 cents to 81. say that for
all practical purposes it is an author
ity without limit"
To this Senator Smoot disagreed
and cited an illustration of his own,
but the only difference was that Sem
ator Smoot put the 25 per cent profit
of the importer upon the landing
price plus the duty while Senator
Jones put it upon the selling price.
When Senator Jones asked the SEN
ator the foreign price of an article
selling for SO in the American market.
the tariff on which is SO pea cent OF
the American selling price, Senator
Smoot replied: mo living man can
tell what the cost of the article was
N the foreign countries"
Senator Jones again cited his So
illustration, following an illustration
by Senator Smoot, and showed there
was only 40 cents difference between
their circulation. which drew from
Senator Smoot this admission:
81 recognize, | think, what the Sen
ator is getting at, and will admit, as
have heretofore done. that whenever
this power is exercised it will be be-
cause of the fact that the tariff rate
based on foreign valuation will not

ear to the changed conditions of world
trade due to our change from debtor
to a creditor nation. 1t must give ear
also to a demand that the rates on
foodstuffs shall not be the highest ev-
er levied"
The Ohio State Journal, soundly Re-
publican, but with a sense of humor
constantly stimulated and aroused by
this administration, says: Economic
conditions in the world have changed
so much since the war that the tariff
problem is vastly altered. We are the
creditor nation now and the only way
in which our debtors can pay is in
their products. Our agricultural ana
manufacturing interests need, as never
before, wide, free foreign market.
No one apparently, except the hard
shelled old high protectionists, who is
wrong about it. has clear idea of just
what ought to be done. This is one
of the cases where it is better to do
nothing than to do the wrong thing"

Mellon Creates Surplus by Postpon.
ing Payments Due.

MehOH STeates surplus Dy fOStp0n-
ing Payments Due.
Secretary Mellon is certainly the
modern wizard of finance. By sim
pie twist of the wrist he changes a
deficit into surplus, thus:
There is an admitted threatened
deficit of $24,0O0,000 for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1922. Within
that period $71,000,O00 obligations
fall due. BY postponing the payment
of these obligations until next year
the Secretary Of the Treasury is able
to make it appear that there will be
surplus of $47,000,000.
This is the same kind of financial
slight-of hand by which $4,000, 900
is put in the list Of Savings" of the
Harding administration when ST.
100000 of Pittman Act certificates fell
due and were not paid.
Secretary Mellon has already admit
ted that there will be deficit of $4S4,-
100000 for 1923, but this does not in
clude a proposed $50.000,000 for Mr..
Laskar or $75 100000 for the initial
bonus, 100000 extra for rivers and
harbors and $60,O0O.000 extra for the
navy in excess of Gen. Dawes esti-
mates. There is prospective deficit
therefore for 1923 of $866,000, 900,
and the administration is going right
on claiming that it is saving money,
practicing economy and reducing tax
es.

Shipping Board operations showed a
loss of $3,704,155.22. Mr.. Lasker in
