TARIFF b|LL
Says Proposed Measure May
Prove National Calamity
Will Vote Against 1t
BY GEORGE III. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of the
Perth Amboy Evening Ncws.)

WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE
passage of the Fordney- -McCumber
tariff bill, now before the senate,
with provision for making its rates
elastic may prove national calam-
ity, and he will not vote for it un-
less it provides for revision of its
rates by the u. S. Tariff Commission,
Senator Walter f. Edge of New Jer-
sey, declared in a speech in the SEN
ate today.
He was announcing his opposition
to the present bill, as it now stands,
without provision for revision of its
rates both upward and down by a
special commission, he said, so that
his position may not later be misun-
derStoOd.
The votes already cast by both
Republicans and Democrats for and
against certain schedules have been
governed entirely by local and sec
tional conditions, Senator Edge as
serted, going to prove that a tariff
bill to be equally fair to producer
and consumer must be framed by
some agency less directly interested
in it than congress.
AS international trade develops
and countries are brought closer to-
gether by trade necessities and i'm
proved transportation, the possibili-
ty of a tariff bill lasting as an etfec-
tive measure longer than it takes to
write it, becomes more and more re-
mote, Senator Edge declared.
IF the tariff bill, in its final form,
fails to provide, otherwise than
through congressional action, some
method through which individual
schedules can be revised downard
as well as upward, as circumstances
and investigation should warrant
| cannot vote for it," declared Sena-
tor Edge.
II am a firm believer in some
elasticity in the administration )f
tariff law. The abnormal trade con-
ditions of today, and the accompany
ing necessity for continually TeVls-
ing economic business relations.
makes it absolutely impossible FOR
any tariff law to long meet situations
which are changing so rapidly. /.
is unthinkable. especially in Vicw
of the time consumed in the consid-
Grafton of this bill that congress
should be the only authority permit
ted to readjust tariff schedules
"At the best, because of lack oil
technical knowledge, Congress Is
poorly equipped. and anyhow. there
are too many other problems the so
luton of which the country demands
at our hands.

THE GOLDEN RULE POSTER.

in Emporia. Kas., one that is not likely
to violate any law or give offense to any
official 1t reads:
Therefore, all things whatsoever We
would that men should do to you, do We
even so to them for this is the law and
the prophets We believe that this is
interpreted in this strike by justice and
peace and fair working conditions"
The Golden Rule as a basis for strike
settlement is somewhat new in industrial
struggles. What its placarding in Kan
sas will accomplish can not be foretold.
Yet it's use for such publicity is full of
hope. What if it were put into prac-

Projecting DlspIayed Food.
Barre Times.

A test case is about to be made in Rut-
land to determine whether an ordinance
recurring the proper covering of food
products offered for sale is enforceable
4 merchant of that city was charged
with permitting cakes, doughnuts and
pan of beans to be exposed in such way
that the food was not protected from
flies and dirt, and the merchant pleaded
not guilty. That means a trial. The
outcome of the trial will be watched with
interest in many other places in Yer
mont where attempts are being made TO
protect the public through ordinances or
bylaws requiring the proper covering of
food articles intended for sale. Barre is
one of the communities which is very
much interested in the outcome of the
test case in Rutland. If a conviction IL
secured in Rutland there ought to be a
determined drive to enforce ordinances
in Barre and elsewhere which have for
their purpose the protection of the public
against contaminated food.
Why should there be such ordinances
and bylaws? Let anyone take note of
the dust and filth swirling through some
business street and let him follow with
his eyes the clouds of dust and filth until
that same dust and filth falls upon food
products set out on the sidewalk and
without a covering sufficient TO protect
the articles After seeing that demon
stration one need not inquire why ordl-
nances and bylaws are enacted to re-
'quire dealers to protect their wares from
filth aal flies. But it may be argued
that frtfit is supposed to be washed be-
fore being eaten, which is good as far as
theory goes. But let the spectator stand
and watch the sales of fruit at those
same dust and filth covered stands, and
he will see that fully one-half of the pur
chasing public takes no precaution in the
matter of health but swallows the fruit
without even wiping it with the hand
which, at best, is a doubtful method of
hygiene. The other half of the public
may wash off some of the dust and filth
on the fruit. But the first half needs
protection. That is the why of ordi-
nances and bylaws requiring dealers to
cover their food wares properly.

WHERE DOES THE RUBBER GO?


In the year 1920 Japan purchased
1865 tons of crude rubber, and in 1920,
$500 tons. Last year imports jumped
to 22,500, and figures available on pur-
chases made thus far in 1922 indicate
a still further increase in consumption.
There would be nothing remarkable
about this, if only the rest of the world
knew what it was for.
OF course, the use of automobiles is
rapidly increasing in Nippon, but by no
means as rapidly as the imports mount.
Japan is using more rubber in electrical
work. too, but there is no explaining the
phenomenon on that ground. Rubber in
terests, in this country and Europe, are
consumed with curiosity about it all, and
so are governments, but that is all the
good it does them. They have yet to
learn what Japan does with it all, OF
where she sells the product.
Next in order will be some scare story
about military preparations, no doubt
but it is safe bet that the real answer
would interest business men rather than
soldiers. All the same, there's a fair
suggestion for a story in it.
