Uncle Ted's Bedtime Series

Uncle Ted's Bedtime Series
'T just don't understand it, that's
|all," said Ruth.
"Well, don't understand much my
|self but | know enough from what
Uncle Ted has told us that Freddie is
ALL wrong. 1t is silly to say that if
we keep others countries from send
ing all the goods they want into our
country to sell that we can't sell any
thing to them" Jack was more than
emphatic with his ideas about the
tariff.
"The heat doesn't seem to worry
you Riddles much when it comes to
an argument" said Uncle Ted as he
came into the room wiping the perspir-
alton from: his face. "You know it is
MUCH cooler in your room and there
is big fan there too, so what do you
say if we wind our way toward the
land Of nod?"
"Oh, Gee! Uncle Ted," said
Jack, eve don't want to go to bed yet.
It's too hot to go to bed"
"What is harder for you Riddles than
going to bed? I'll tell you. If you
will get undressed you can come
down here for half hour and I'll tell
you something that will help both of
you when Freddie asks you again
about selling goods to other countries"
1t was no sooner said than done and
Uncle Ted had no more than seated
F; himself as comfortably as possible
when the kiddies were ready for their
story.
"You see, children, the Republican
party has always stood for what is
known as a protective tariff to protect
American workmen and American
products against the sale of foreign
goods in this country at lower prices
and of inferior quality in many cases.
Now, of course, with new tariff law
in sight those opposed to protective
tariff are spreading all kinds of wild
stories. They say that if we don't
buy from other countries we can't
sell to them. That is not true because
anybody can write to the Department
Of Commerce at Washington, as !
have done, and they will find that in
"A of the 49 years since 1947 we have
sold more goods abroad than we have
purchased. It is foolish for anyone to
argue that other countries are buying
from us simply because we have
from them. There is no more senti-
ment in international business than in
national business, not as much, if we
admit sentiment enters into national
business. We buy California oranges
because we want them and like them
and they buy our automobiles because
they are good cars. These free trade
people try to paint an awful picture of
what will happen to our trade if we
put a protective tariff into effect,
that other countries will stop buying
our goods, eCc. Ihefe is no truth IN
this argument.
"Here are some figures for argu-
ment's sake. During the year 1912
and 1913 the Payne-Aldrich protect
i've tariff bill was in effect, but there
was no such trouble as free traders
would have us believe. In 1912 Cam
ada bought goods from us amounting
to $329,257,194 while our purchases
fromher haunted to only $10S,813,-
1868. That was quite difference but
in 1913 the difference was even great
er the amount of goods sold to us
$50 while her purchasers of America

will be the effect of that action on

Another consideration has been
overlooked by Mr.. Hays and other

some influence on the men and women
who make up the moving picture col
ony in and around Los Angeles. The
refusal of the public to reaccept Ar

ition to them to abstain from drunken
orgies and indecent conduct at their
social gatherings.

of public forgiveness can not Justly

The fact is that the Hollywood col

direction just at this time in making
every effort to get rid Of them.

THE FATTY ARBUCKLE CASE.

The daily papers for the past few
days have been teeming with articles
bitterly protesting against the recent
decision Of Will Hays the big Poobah
who was hired for the purpose of
reforming the movie world and max
ing them decent, to the effect that
the notorious Fatty" should have an
other cnance as a movie actor. The
club women particularly are fighting
Hays decision and at present it be-
gins to look as though William has
gotten in bad all around. The fact is
Fatty Arbuckle has no place in the
movie world. AS far as he is concern
ed he might as well be dead and bur-
led. The American people have just
about exhausted their patience with
the depraved, licentious bunch of
would be movie actors and actresses
of Hollywood, and anything that Hays
may say or not say will not recon
;ile the general public to the fact that
they are tired and thoroughly disgust
ed with the Fatty Arbuckle type The
following editorial clipped from the
Review regarding this
subject is rather pat and to the point:
will Fl. Hays generalization that
every man is entitled to chance to
'edeem himself is not properly appli-
cable to the Arbuckle case The pic
ture tneater should not be made a
reformatory
"A sOunder point Of view was ex-
pressed by the president of the board
If wOmens clubs of Los Angeles.
There is no animosity on our par,
toward Arbuckle,"' she said, '"but,
despite the fact that he was acquitted
on the charge of causing the death
of Miss Rape, the testimony at his
trial was of such a character as to
bar him forever from appearing before
a decent, self-respecting public"

A BIG PROBLEM.

The biggest problem before the COM
ing session of the legislature, which
will meet in Olympia, January 8, will
be reduction of the oppressive burden
Of taxation in this state.
Solution of this problem will not be
simple matter. 1t will be complicat-
ed, not only by the difficulties in the
way of cutting existing levies without
imparing the essential needs of gov
eminent, but more particularly be the
reason for many more new demands
that will be presented and backed by
militant forces in this state and which
will add tremendously to the required
outlay of tax money If enacted into
law.
While tax organizations throughout
the state have been studying the prob
lem of tax reduction and formulating
definite plans for accomplishing that

The Department is using every
means to acquaint holders Of these
notes with the fact that after Decem-
Der Is, 1922 no more interest will be
paid on them, and that the owners
should therefore lose no time in pre-
senting their notes for redemption.
Owners can also exchange these Vic
tory Notes for the new issue Of IL
per cent Treasury Notes, series C-1925
dated December Is, 1922, and maturing
June Is. 1925; or they can convert
the redemption proceeds of their Vic
