THE TARIFF IN ACTION.

Much censure is being heaped upon
the Fordney- McCumber tariff act.
For obvious reasons, says the Iron
Trade Review, the minority party has
loosed an avalanche of critical words.
Many of the majority party, it adds,
are skeptical, fearing the effect of a
tariff walIAat this time upon the mer-
chant marine, trade and debt situa-
lions. The importer has his individ-
ua1 viewpoint, and so has the pro-
Queer of raw material and the con-
sumner of it. 1t follows logically that
the selfish interest largely will actuate
criticism or approval.
The western tier of states is in con-
troll OF congress and so has forced its
will. 1t has been true to its basic in
misunderstanding apd mining. When
the Dingley and Payne-Aldrich acts
were written the east was in the as
cendancy and it's finished products
were protected and the western prod
ucts left more or less to shift for
themselves The Underwood act of
1913 was the expression of the free
trade mind of the south. And now

against alien competition.
But there are some general truths
that sectionalism cannot gloss over.
No matter how great the urge for pro-
lection. the higher the duty the SMALL
err the imports. The western farmer
may or may not get more for his
wheat but he is certain to pay more
for his pillow. He may find that some
of the duties his representatives in
congress have imposed will bar all i'm
ports, and the domestic producer will
take advantage. The western farmer
needs a merchant marine to carry his
grain overseas. but whence come the
return cargoes? Merchant marine
and high tariff are terms that cannot
long keep company. And can the
European debtors of the United States
be expected to repay the war loans
with the gold of the world monopo-
lized in the treasury vaults at Wash
ington and the customs doors barred
against imports?
The administrative sections of the
Fordney-McCumber act are commend
ed by the Review, which says: THAI
the tariff should be out of politics Il
accepted everywhere. The southern
! partisan is for . duty on his sugar
and he becomes hypercritical when hi
rails against duty on the finished
products of the north and west. By
eniarging the powers Of the tariff
commission and giving the act elias,
ITCHY by permitting the president t.
increase or decrease rates to NEE
emergency conditions the sponsors O.
the act did much to take the tariff
} out of the POLITICAL arena. The tariff
is political liability to congress; al
economic one to the country wheI

A. The popular belief that Indian sum

Indians, finds no documentary corrobora-
ton, and the idea that the term Indian

There is an old song which runs:
"Uncle Sam is rich enough to give us
all a. farm" These words no longer
are true, but Uncle Sam still is in the
business of dealing out farms under
certain conditions. For instance the
secretary of the interior announces
the opening to homestead entry of
1851 acres of public Iand in the
klamath Irrigation Project, Oregon
California. The land is divided into
ia farm units and will be opened on
Oetobero 81. 1922, by drawing at 2
O'Clock p. m. Under provisions of an
act of congress ninety days prefer
ence right is granted 70 ex-service
men of the war with Germany, after
which any lands remaining unentered
will be open to filing by persons quail
flied to make homestead entry in the
United States. In connection with the
work of the reclamation service in re-
claiming the arid lands embraced in
the klamath Project in southern Ore
gon and northern California. one OF
the most Interesting engineering fea-
lures in the drainage OF some 10000
acres of land in the bed of TuIe lake
which will be divided into farm units
and irrigated from the government
system. The chief source of water
supply for Tuie lake came from Lost
river. By means of a diversion dam
IN this stream the waters have beer
turned thru a canal into klamath
river, and Tule lake has been slowly
but surely drying up. The lands to be
opened comprise the area uncovered
, by this process.

THE MOON

THE MOON
Last night our baby saw the moon
A wondrous ball of yellow gold,
II seemed to her a toy balloon
Which she had strength enough to hold,
And SO she reached her arms above
AS babies ages long have done,
She wanted 1t to keep and love-
The moons great magic had begun
Here Is the monarch of our dreams,
From innocence to worldly-wfse,
This gentle, peaceful, planet seems
To lure us ever to the skies.
The moving tide of men he draws
In spite of all the battles fought,
The selfish striving for cause
To lofty dreams and nobler thought
He seems to hold a regal sway
Over the hearts and minds Of all
The scholar, worn and bowed and gay,
Turns when the shades Of evening fan
And in that glorious flood Of light
Sees what his lips can never teach.
Visions Of beauty and Of right
Which he has hope some day to reach.
The moon is father of our dreams,
He holds US all within his sway,
Into our clouied minds he streams
To wash the doubts and fear away;
And like the babe who reaches out
Small hands to grasp this treasure great,
So grown-ups everywhere about
Look to the moon and dream, and walt.

GOOD HEALTH WEEK.

It has been said that altho man
prides himself on being the most in
teIligent Of all animals, he needs the
greatest guidance for his safety. So
the week beginning October 20 has
been designated as Good Health Week
in an effort to place the guidance of
the best and most scientific knowl-
edge of the times within his easy
reach.
Keeping workers from the scrap
heap by the early discovery OF tuber-
culosis and other diseases which are
] coming more and more to be recog-
nized as industry's greatest foe, by
providing proper working conditions
and by educating working men and
women to the importance of personal
hygiene will be among the points to
be emphasized thruout the United
States.
The intimate relation which mans
health bears to labor turnover and to
accidents and the part which ventila-
ton, sanitation and cleanliness play IN
increasing the health and efficiency
of workers are subjects which are re-
ceiving special attention from the ma
tional executive committee and its ad-
visory council In chargs Of the pro-
motion of Good Health Week. That
there is a growing appreciation of the
fact that poor ventilation, poor SAM
tation, and poor lighting mean de-
creased production, says the commit
tee, ia evidenced by the manner in
which large employers OF labor are
giving active cooperation in the edu-
cational movement whose purpose is
better health.
Dust hazards, the diseases in which
they are factor, their costliness to
industry, and the Importance of han
ding them properly and of removing
the dust as nearly as possible at its
source, it is pointed out, are being
given special consideration. Effort
will be made both to call the attention
OF employers to the importance from
the cold business standpoint OF dollars
and cents of improving the ve4tila-
ton of factories and workshops whers
it is not satisfactory and to impress
working people with the urgency o;
having plenty OF fresh air in itheil
homes, especially If they cannot OBJ.
tain it during working hours. and Of
making sure some out OF door exer.
else every day.

The records of the federal trade
commission disclose that at least 95
per cent OF business in this country
either is ethically honest, or wants to
be, writes ]. p. Yoder, formerly sec

perhaps 65 per cent of the business

the remaining S5 per cent. 20 per cent
engage in honest business methods be-

The remainder, perhaps, are honest

Every man knows that these diff
ferent types of women appeal to him
that he loves them all-and that he
really never does decide between them.
At the last he marries the woman who
wanted him the most, and was most
energetic in chasing him down. Or
else environment and chance turned
the trick.
Women are confronted by exactly
the same problem. Women are at
tracted by the man who pulls the
cave man stuff-the man who is
| brutal and rough. and overbearing,
and who literally drags them off by
the hair of their heads to the altar.
Yet, at the same time, they are drawn
to the man who is gentle, and tender.
and sympathetic. and intuitive,N and
who knows why women weep when
they are glad, and are stoney-eyed
in sorrows that break their hearts
why women faint when they prick
| their fingers with a needle, and never
| bat an eye when they climb up on q
surgeons table to be cut to pieces.
A woman will love a man because
| he is strong and dominant, and can
conquer the world, and compel sue
cess, and she will adore another man
who appeals to every fiber of the
| and helplessness.
| A woman will love a man because
he is money maker and can swathe
her in luxury, and she will yearn aftel
the man who Is dreamer who could
not give her carfare but can quote
poetry IKE an angel.
And so it goes. OF course, 1t may
be said that those who have many
loves have no great loves, and thai
the affection that is spread over sc
much sentimental bread buffers i
pretty thinly, True. But it is life.
| Occasionally, there is the grand
passion where there is no division OF
love; where the one man and the onk
woman, whom at@destined for mates
meet each other. They find in eacf
other all that they desire, body ant
soul. There is with them but the on'
love.
They do not have to love on th'
Iinstallment plan. as the balance of us
But the majority of us are no mors
