DEMOCRAT FAVORS
MERCHANT Marine

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.=Declaring
that the American merchant marine
is no more a Democratic or a Repub-
lican institution than the army or
navy, and as fully essential, u. S.
Senator Joseph E. Ransdell, of Lou
isiana, in a statement read at a meet
ing of the National Merchant Marine
Association at the Marine Exposition
in Grand Central Palace tonight,
pointed out that his fellow Democrats
in Congress- could not consistently OPP
pose the pending legislation to aid
American shipping. The Democratic
party, he said, initiated the Ameri-
can policy of subsidies for shipping
more than rs years ago, and he add
ed that failure now to establish q
merchant marine capable Of compel
ing with foreign carriers of our trade
would bring discredit TO the Demo-
cratic, as well as the Republican,
party. Senator Ransdell's statement
follows:
ITO the members of the National
Merchant Marine Association, and to
the other friends of the American
merchant marine here tonight, / want
to express, with all the emphasis in
my power, my firm conviction that
the problem of American shipping
cannot properly be regarded az a par
tisan issue and that TO treat it on the
basis Of politics viii be disastrous,
not only TO the merchant marine, but
to the nation as we'll

At SO, George Geer, of Bozeman,
believed to be the oldest locomotive
engineer in active service in the Unit
ed States, has decided to turn over
his engine to the newer generation.
Although Nh. Greer declares his eye
to be as bright and his brain as clear
as they were in 1854, when he began
railroading, he thinks 81 years on an
engine and 81 years as an active rail-
reader entitle him to n of the COM
Portable pensions of the Northern Pa
cific railway. Despite his advanced
years, Mr.. Greer has always, even up
to his last service days, passed with
high rank the most eXacting examin-
ations and tests of his profession, and
held his seniority until just a few
days ago, when he resigned to go on
the retired list.
Mr.. Greer began railroading in
April, 1854, on the Buffalo & Erie
railroad as a water boy on a wood
train. Before long he had worked
himself up to the position of fireman
of a switch engine.
In 1857 he entered the service Of
the Michigan Central as fireman.
In 1860 Mr.. Geer cast his first vote
for Abraham Lincoln, and in 1861 ht
followed his convictions and enlisted
in the Third Michigan cavalry. Al
the close of the civil war he was mus.
tered out as first sergeant and re
sumed his place on the Michigan Cen
trail.
In 1868 he ventured forth to secur'
an acquaintance with other lines am
other parts Of the country. HI
worked for the Union Pacific and 9th
er western and southern lines unit
on June 20, 1884, he secured a posi-
ton on the Montana division of tn
Northern Pacific, where he continue
in active service until September 1C
1922.
Running a locomotive is so much
cart of my life that it is mighty har
to give it up" he said. "For NOR
than fifty years l have u engines
engines of all kinds, from the littl
ones that cost $4,000, a half cen
fury ago. to the mountain giants tina
are worth over 500, 900 today"
"The Northern Pacific is the bes
railroad in the United States to wor
for. I think we have the ablest leac
ers and the most loyal employees ths
can be found anywhere"

THE TARIFF QUESTION
AS IN A NUTSHELL

The tariff has been discussed for
many years and the history of the
government has indicated the high
protective theory from the start. 1t
has been responsible for the growth
and development of our country.
Some of us may not be able to follow
the dazzling arguments of the ora
tors, but there are a few hard facts
that we cannot fail to comprehend
and which we cannot escape.
We know that under free trade
European workmen do the work that
American workmen ehould do and
that Europe gets the money.
We know that under protection
American workmen do our work anC
that the money remains in America
Those two things are potential anC
compelling. They stand unrefuteC
and irrefutable. They are basic, anC
any departure from the lesson they
hold forth is fraught with ruin anC
disa ter.

game, and there has been lots of
game brought out.
There was a dance held at the Mid
die Greek new school house Friday
night, being well attended. The pro-
ceedA went toward furnishing the
school house with blinds and curtains.
The Ladies' Unity Aid met at the
home Of Mrs. L. M. Carpenter Thurs
day afternoon. There were about 10
members and visitors present. The
afternoon was spent in making a
pieced top for a quilt to put in a
missionary box which is to be sent
away soon. The ladies are going to
have a bazaar the first Friday in De-
cember. Delicious refreshments were
served by the hostess, with Mrs. Allie
MARRIOTT helping to serve. The next
meeting will be held at the home OF
Mrs. Mary Belt.

Mr.. and Mrs. Keith Orvis had a

The o. D. o. Club met at the home
of Mrs. F "A. Gilchrist Wednesday
for an all-day meeting, with about
Is members present. The day was
spent in sewing on garments to be
sent to the Children's Home about
Christmas. Each member brought a
jar Of fruit or jelly to be sent in time
for Thanksgiving, and a good supply
was received. A bountiful dinner
was served by the No. 5 committee at
noon. The next meeting will be held
with committee No. / at the home of
Mr.. Fred Enders, for an all-day
/ meeting.

IN THE NICK OF Nj

During the nine months ended Sep
TENDER, 1922, we imported $685.
100000 worth of foreign goods, COM
pared with $1,875, 00O, 900 for the
similar nine months of 1921, or an in
crease for the 1922 period of $312,-
100000. This was a value increase.
but since there was a marked de-
crease in the price of foreign goods
all along the line, the volume of in
creas was much more ~appreciable
In either case, it is quite evident that
the protective tariff law passed by
the Republican party went into effect
none too soon.

AN ARBITRARY FIGURE

Some scholastic "expert" who never
felt the sweat of labor upon his brow
nor worried over the problem of
meeting the payroll on Saturday
night, figured out some time ago that
it takes $4,000 a year to constitute
q "living wage" and ever since then
any man who opposes government
action fixing $500 as q minimum
wage has been set down as an enemy
Of labor. We suppose that If the
expert" had set his figure at $1,000
q man who opposed governmental &C
ton setting that as q minimum wagt
would be o traitor.

istration that the millions of tons of
ships we have now were built. 1t
is under a Republican administration
that their future must be provided
for. And if the American merchant
marine fails, if it is abandoned and
our place on the seas is surrendered
to foreigners, together with u con-
troll of our commerce, such a result
must bring discredit to the Democ-
racy that fathered the fleet, as well
as to the Republicans that adopted
it."

The cow inhaled the fumes of the

srRyEY SHOWS FEDEDAL TANES
ARE HIGHER THAN IN 1919.

Republican claims that Federal tax
alton has decreased under the Hard
inc administration are challenged by
the statements of the National Indus
trial Conference Board. representing
4 large number of American manufac-
turers. This organization contends
that instead of a reduction of taxes
there has been an increase compared
with 1919.
In the United States Federal taxes
alone totaled $4.925.o00.Ooo i'll 1919
and in 1921 reached total OF $4,l3O'-
600 600, which appeared to be Il de-
crease OF 1l.2 per cent. The report
Of the conference contends, however
that inasmuch as the 1921 dollar mad
= purchasing power of 26.9 per cent
less than the 1919 dollar. Federal
taxes in 1921 were actually 10 pei
