settle these differences by arbitration.
The personal characteristics of the
English people were described by Mr..
Cooper. The Englishman is not a
snob, but he never bows down to any
man. You cannot treat an English
man as you do a foreigner
England and America must get to-
gether. England must recognize
America. America must recognize
England. There is new England
today. The new policy of England as
Lloyd George pointed out must be
one of friendship with America. The
speaker told of the things England is
ferred to the need of both countries
for new foreign markets. China, In
dic and Africa with their millions of
population were referred to as filled
with great possibilities for trade cen
ters.
We, as individuals, should WELD out
influence as peacemakers rather than
trouble makers was the message Rev.
Mr.. Cooper brought ont in concluding
his remarks.
His address was greatly appreciat-
ed by the large gathering at the ser
vice. The Scripture reading was Civ
en- by Rev Howard Fl. Brown, pastor
Of the church. and the group singing
was led by Mrs. Anterior.

been honored by having been Junior

Regimental Association he is now the
president of that well known organ

ing business man of this city where
he has resided for many years. He,
like many others, is the fortunate
possessor of an automobile. but while
it is for public use it is not for pub
lie hire. But is used often and will
ingly in carrying comrades and mem
hers of the Relief Corps to and from
their meetings.
Although not in at the beginning OF
the great struggle between the states,
he was in at it's close and did all that
a brave and loyal son of the North
could do to bring to an end that
fratricide strife. and in the World
War he devoted much of his time to
public speaking in behalf of the
many patriotic enterprises of those
stirring days.

head such men as John d. Myrick.

When congress gets to work on
President Harding's suggestion. made
ia his message to that body Tuesday.
that tariff law be passed as soon
as possible to replace the present
hastily adopted emergency tariff mea-
sure. it should not overlook the eX-
tending opinion among American bust
ness men that changing conditions de-
mand different sort of tariff from
the old one of Mckinley and Dingley
and Payne Aldrich tariff days.-Daven-
port Democrat.
That emergency tariff embraces but
few articles. The tariff law enacted
10y the democratic congress and signed
|by the democratic president in 1913 is
still the one the country is operating
under and results are Just the Sane
as they were under the tariff law en-

but it is apparent that the present tar

The principle of protection is just as
sound now as il ever was and expert

Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1922-01-02
UNWIsE SUGGESTION.

There is strong opposition to the Sug-
gestion of President Harding that pow
cr be lodged in a tariff commission and
the president to change tariff rates
when in their judgment such changes
are WISE This opposition, the Freeman
Journal believes, is founded upon sound
principles. Congress alone has power
to regulate commerce by levyins I'M
post duties and it should not delegate
such powers to any other body or to
any president. Stability in tariff sche-
dulles are most desirable. Business men
and manufacturers have the right to
know what impOst duties are going to
be levied from time to time, to the end
that they can plan for the future. If
the tariff commission could alter du-
ties or if the president could, at the be-
hest of the commission, there would be
little stability. and uncertainty would
prevail.
There is nothing to the talk that the
tariff commission would he nOn.parti-
san Men big enough to secure Il place
on the commission are men of ideas
and they are either for or against pro.
lection. 1t is easy to contemplate what
would happen if free traders gained
control of the commission. and there is
no question but that they would try to
get control if the recommendations of
President Harding We're agreed to by
congress. OF course. right now the tar
if commission is all right. 1t is COM
posed of men who believe in protec-
ton. But it could very easily happen
that with a change Of administration
without corresponding change OF con-
gress. as happened in the election OF
1884. a free trade tariff commission
would be chosen to respond to the de-
sires of the president. In such event
the power to regulate the tariff would
he taken from congress and lodged IN
the hands of the president alone. as
he would control the tariff commits
sion.
The Freeman-Journal. in common
with many who believe in the principle
of protection to American industries
at all times. is rmalterably opposed to
the plan suggested by the president
and is hoping that congress will not
delegate the power to anybody or any
set of men to alter tariff schedules fin
e,l by the law-making power. OF the
government.
