Some people are opposing Ameri-
can valuation, some of the great i'm
porters of the country. Some OF
them have sent out circulars appeal
ing to the merchants of the country,
the manufacturers, to appeal to their
congressman and their senators to
oppose American valuation. Why?
shall tell you why. Last year in the
customs Office Of New York alone
there were fifty-four hundred cases
of under valuation, and this year
they are running ~ the rate of FIVE
hundred cases month.
why do foreigners who export to
this country or people of this coun-
try who import from foreign coun-
tries underva1ue? Because they pay
less duty. Profit is made in the duty
if they can import at fifty cents on
the dollar of the real value of the
goods" ~

Kansas is declared to be badly in
need of 5000 railroad cars. In con-
sequence of this lack of cars, it is
said, banks are refusing to rediscount
agricultural paper. The policy of
railroad batting which prevailed for
years has returned to plague its in
ventors. The supply Of cars is made
quate because the roads have been so
Impoverished by restrictive legislation
that they have not had money to pay
Cor needed equipment and have been
unable to negotiate necessary loans.
Capitalists have SHE'D at financing an
Industry that was always being ham
pered by restrictive legislation. 1t has
been impossible to guess what was
coming next in the way of railroad
legislation. Even now there is a
strong movement on foot again to
place the rate making power in the
hands of the states.

HOW IT WORKS.

An Omaha merchant is quoted in
the Bee" as follows:
Our firm had placed an order for a
large consignment of gloves made
abroad. Last week we were notified
by the importers in New York that
because. OF the tariff, they could not
fill our order at the price quoted.
We Immediately Cancelled the order
for the foreigp-made gloves and
placed 1t with an American manufac-
turer at Gloversville, N. Y.
The money paid in wages for max
ing these gloves will go to American
and not to foreign workmen. Under
the tariff the American manufacturer
can now compete with Europe.
The comment Of the Bee" Is that
this is all that was expected of the
tariff. But this is not all that it does
1t forces the wearers of gloves to pay
much higher prices than they other
wise would. In all arguments in sup
port of the tariff no consideration is
ever shown to the consumers, who
practically are the entire population
of the country.
1t has been notorious for many
years that the glove schedule in the
protective tariff bills has been written
in Gloversville, N. Y. The Glovers-
Vile people apparently now are get
ting their rake-off.

HEART AND HOME PROBLEMS

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am girl
16 years old and am in love with

broken. AS long as he was in this
town he never went with her. but she
has used her influence against me,

BROKEN-HEARTED
You should do nothing to make the
boy GO with you instead of your girl
friend. Probably you are mistaken In
thinking that she influenced him
against you. Usually a boy leaves one
girl for another because he is tickle
and his interest for the first wanes
while it grows keener for the second.
Let the boy go IL he wants to.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell
me what I can do to get my hair
blond again. I did have pretty blond
hair, but now it is about light brewn.
Blond hair almost always grows
darker. Put the juice OF lemon into

not recommend anything to bleach
the hair. because it makes it brittle
and harsh and the shade uneven.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a girl
sixteen years old and a sophomore at
school. I am dearly in love with q
boy about my age, but he writes TO q
girl friend of mine What should

He also writes to me and persists in

You will have to hide your Jealousy
and let the boy do as he pleases about
corresponding with your friend, since
you are not engaged. To be serious
about such a thing is foolish.
The stamp filtration is most annoy
ing at the postoffice and should not
be used. Besides It Is in very poor

The trend of prices recently has
been notably upward. 1t probably
would have been healthier, all things
considered. in the view of Forbes
Magazine. if the cost of living had
continued to move gradually towards
somewhat lower level. The new
tariff. however. it continues, is ealeu-
lated to interfere with further read
iustment in prices and the immigra-
tion law will tend to force up wages
1t is logical, therefore, to figure that
costs are more likely to rise than to
fall in coming months. Some of the
perpetrators of the Ferdney-MeCum-
Der law have beseeched those they
have protected" not to take advan-
tage of the terms of the new law by
squeezing the public. The likelihood
IS, however, that so much dissatisfae-
tion will by and by rise over the cost
of living that the president will be
driven TO a modification of the law
Authority to do this was conferred
upon him in the bill.

WHEN EVERYBODY WORKS.

Railroads are the measure of busl-
ness. When the railroads are fully
employed business booms. Reports to
the interstate commerce commission
show that for the first time since Mo-
vember, 1890. there are no surplus
freight cars. The demand for freight
transportation facilities exceeds the
capacity of the railroads.
The postoffice department reports
for the month OF September an in
crease of lis per cent in postal re-
ceipts in fifty selected cities as COM
pared with September, 1921. These
cities average 81 per cent OF the total
postal receipts OF the country and are
selected because they are typical cities
which taken together reflect accur-
ately conditions in industrial, agricul-
tural and business communities.
The United States department of la
Dor has just completed its analysis for
the month of September. This analy-
sis is based on information gathered
from 355 principal industrial centers.
The report shows that there is IN
creased employment in all but four in
dustrial groups. These four groups
are: Liquor and beverages, clay and
glass. metal and metal products other
than iron and steel, and vehicles for
land transportation.
The report shows that employment
has increased in all parts OF the coun-
try. In New England. the Middle At
lnntic and the middle western states
there is a greater demand for indus
trial workers than there is supply.
In building trades there is a shortage
IN the labor supply. In fact, accord
Ing to this report, there is n threat

SERVING SPECIAL LINES.

Under the caption, Department
Store Parties" the Chicago News in
an editorial article draws a COMPARE
son between political organizations in
this country and In Europe, which is
to the advantage of the one or the
other, according to the view of the
voter. The article in part follows:
The theory of American political
parties is more and more what might
be called the department store theory.
Many European political parties
might be regarded as specially shops
Each goes in for one line of goods
Each has one certain view of life.
One specializes in agrarian measures
for instance. another in urban meas
ures or in some other set of known
measures for familiar customers.
American political parties disdair
big business and a rapid. turnover Is
the public interested fob the moment
in the railroad question: Each party
puts in a railroad question section sc
arranged and so stocked as to appeal
to the largest possible number of citi-
zeps.
Does a voter wish to obtain a con,
tinuation Of the Esch-Cummins trans
portatiou law? The Democratic party
serves it to him at the counter where
Mr.. Pomerene of Ohio is a diligeni
salesman. The Republican party also
serves it to him from the accomme-
dating hands of Mr.. Kellogg of Min
nesota,
But does the voter wish to get re-
peal of the Eseh-Cummins law? All,

He walks across the street to ths

there-sure enough-he finds that al

JUST FOLKS
EXCUSES
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

EXCUSES
Oh, there never was a failure but could
readily explain
How disaster overlook him and his efforts
all were vain,
And the tramp upon the highway and
the beggar on the street
Can give dozen causes and excuses for
defeat.
The crook that lands in prison says be
never had a chance,
And can justify his downfall thru the
web Of circumstance;
The deserteF and the gutter and the
coward and the cheat
Have excuses for their conduct which
they readily repeat
When duty crosses pleasure, when we've
tried to win and lost,
We dread the blame and eensure and
We fear to pay the cost,
So we offer explanations which shall hide
the wrong We do
And we hope the world will take them,
but we know that they're untrue
The excuse is always handy, 1T is always
To hurry US to failure and to stop us
It makes quitting very easy, for Il

OF fighting to the finish when you've got

But there are no good excuses, SO be deaf

The proposal to make taxable a
class of securities now free from taxa
ton may be good campaign material
but that is about all that can be said
for it. Taxing bonds on broad scale,
means merely an increase in the ratio
of interest to be paid by borrowers. No
law can compel the purchase of bonds
or compel anybody to lend money.
There should be no law compelling
people to pay taxes on what they owe.
The interest charged is enough.
