| A BOUT eighteen months have
| ~ passed since consideration of a
permanent tariff was begun in
the House committee. Early
in January, 1921, the ways and means
| committee started hearings. Every
| opportunity was given to all inter-
| ested in the rate to be heard. The
hearings were continued daily almost.
! and when printed comprised more than
! 5000 pages. There was no limit. prac-
tically. to the briefs. tables and docu-
ments witnesses on both sides were
permitted to insert in the record.
This vast amount of testimony and
information and compilation of opinion
all had to be Stenogra aphically reported,
Transcribed and prepared for the print
ers. Necessarily. the bulk Of the record
comprises arguments Of representatives
OF American manufacturing and indus
trial and agricultural interests in favor
Of an increase in duties. Comparatively
little came from opponents.
Record Of U. 8. Industry.
Examination shows that more than
$4,000 articles and products were con-
sidered.~ directly or indirectly Every
sort of product. from needles and pins
and peanuts to the most complicated
and unheard-of chemical compounds
with unpronounceable names. were
brought to the attention of the COM
mittee. A preliminary print Of the
days testimony was ready for the COM
mittee within twenty-four hours after
the hearing. Later a revision was made.
pleted 1t was found to be the longest
and most complete story of American
industry ever offered.
When the tariff bill was sent over to
| the Senate in July. 1921. elaborate
preparations were made for another
ground covered by the House commit
tee. These hearings were attended by
substantially the same interests that
appeared before the House committee.
The proceedings were reported steno-
graphically. printed. corrected and re-
printed. and when completed comprised
eleven large volumes of about 500 pages
| each-a total of $500 pages. This record
| was even more voluminous than the
House record and covered a longer
! period. There were protracted contro-
versies. more pronounced than in the
House. because opponents Of proposed
propositions and rates reserved their
ammunition for the Senate.
Harmony Generally Prevailed.
However, in both houses. despite ap-
pearances to the contrary. there was a
prevailing spirit Of good nature and 10y
atty to American interests on both sides
| In this more-than-a-year discussion of
the details Of the biggest problem be-
fore the country. There were differ
ences of opinion and frequent sharp
| passages of words, but altogether it
was splendid tribute to the courtesy
| and harmony that can characterize
variations Of views on vital questions
Despite all Indications to the contrary,
there was a broad and patriotic atmos-
phere in both House and Senate hear
| ings.
Now that the Senate has passed the
tariff bill and it has gone to confer
ence with many changes and many
| nove suggestions arising out of unusual

plate what the probable cost has been

AIR SERVICE

Hurting four and a half miles
through space with a parachute was
the recent experience of Capt. A. w.
Stevens, A. S.. stationed at McCook
Field. The jump from fhe high alti-
tude of 24.206 feet was made from 2
supercharged Martin bomber.
Capt. Stevens fall lasted approxi-
mately twenty minutes, and the oscil-
lations of the chute, due to the pre-
vailing winds, made him thoroughly
seasick by the time half the descent
was over. He admits that 1t was a
pretty rough voyage, but is willing
to try jump from a still higher altf-
tude as soon as he RECEIVERS from a
fe& broken foot bones. which he sus-
tanned upon landing.
No longer will 1t be possible for
enemy battleships to glide in near
our shores during the dark Of the
moon and "get away with it," If the

was almost gone, and before proceed
ing any distance 1t was entirely OUT

ing. objects could be seen on the
ground just as easily as in the bright

Lieut.. Bissell picked up four battle
ships and three destroyers lying at
anchor just east OF Yorktown. He
states that it was easy to see these
ships, due to the light on them. but
adds that even had there heen no
light the ships could have been picked
up by the glow of the fire coming out
of their tunnels. and concludes that
this ability Of air pilots to pick up
seacraft at night may have an impor-
tant bearing on the utilization Of the

NIIDDLE-AGED people find it hard

forty years ago. This is the reason:
Youth is forever seeking the hori-

frontiers. Forty years ago the from
tier was in the Black hills in the
Rocky mountains. in the desert and
upon the broad plains where fierce
men and wild beasts were waiting
to be conquered. So youth dreamed
westward. Today the frontier is in
the wide reaches of the air. the mys-
terious places of the sky. the deep
youth dreams in radio. in electrons,
in the hidden forces of palpable

Wheat Below the $1.00 Mark

Three years ago the farmer was re-
ceiving So. 35 and So. so for bushel of
wheat. Tuesday the price dropped
to 99t cents, which is the lowest price
since December, 1921, when it touched
9Scents.
This slump recalls the days when
"dollar wheat" was the supreme &c a.
of the farmer. In the period from
1896 to August, 1914, wheat only pass :
ed the dollar mark seven times and
those were events of great moment.
During the famous Letter corner In
1898, when wheat hit the 81 mark, there
was unusual excitement all over the
Middle West and Northwest. In Min
neapolis G.. Q. Pillsbury, the great
miller, assisted by a brass band, led a
parade of shouting thousands in that
city. Similar demonstrations were held
in other milling cases.
