eating interest in or support Of this

Yet, by inference, mention Of an

heads certain paragraph of this re-
port.

Quincy Todd on the Tariff

income tax, which is a thing Of
beauty and a Joy forever to
every American. Woodrow has
others do a lot of things to the
tariff, but nobody seems to know
just what is done to it, and
Woodie gives them so many
other things to worry about that
the tariff seems to be forgot for
five or six years, for the first
time in the history Of the United
States.
Whatever Woodrow did to
the tariff is not right, Of course,
and q great fuss is made because
the tariff is too low and the in
come tax too high, or else it is
the other way around, I am not
sure.
Harding has been inaugu-
rated about three days when a
loud squawk goes up. 1t seems
Harding is a heck of President
and is a total failure because he
has let three days 60 by without
doing anything to the tariff. In
other words, he is not playing
true to form. The first duty of
a President when he moves into
the White House, before he lays
his brush and comb set out on
the bureau, is to arrange to have
something done with the tariff.
"The new President gen'ally
says to one of his faithful lieu
tenants: "Go take the tariff
apart, find out what makes 1t
tick and see II you can put 1t to-
gether again without leaving out
any Of the parts, and then I can

and get into my other shirt and
start presidenting.'

is to Il, except that the cost Of

everything from agate to zinc
and gets up what is known as the
Wilson Tariff bill.
1.-THE result of this bill Is that
expenses get a little higher and
all is we'll. Then the Republi-
cans give Grover the gate and
come to bat with the Mckinley
bill, which calls for a high tariff
and protects the infant indus
tries, which become quite a sue
cess in their infantile way and
just about choke the life out Of
their Uncle Sam, which makes
everybody very leery indeed.
"Then, when Roosevelt is
President, he turns the tariff
matter over to somebody who
does something with it which
does not make much Of an i'm
preston on the historians, and
the big blow off does not come
until Taft is elected President,
and then the people put up such
a squawk about the tariff being
too high and living expenses be-
ing too big, and Taft hauls off
and passes the buck to a guy
named Payne in the House and
Aldrich In the Senate, and they
cook up a tariff bill. The tariff
is supposed to be revised down.
ward, but it seems these states
men have not got no sense Of
direction and have lost their
compass and get turned around
and revise the tariff upward,
which, Of course, makes things
cost q little more, which makes
everybody very sore indeed, and
they elect Woodrow President.
"Well, Woodrow gets busy
right away and gets old Oscar
Underclothes and q couple Of
other fellers busy and they rig
up a tariff bill which also makes
expenses larger, and they meet
these expenses by putting on an
The Washington times., 1922-10-22

no matter whether the tariff has
been lowered or highered.
"As soon as the corner gro
ceryman in Red Horse, Idaho,
finds out they are going to do
something to the tariff, his
prices 60 up. He fggers he will
have to raise them anyhow after
the new tariff bill is passed, and
he might as we'll begin at once.
The people hear that somebody is
monkeying with the tariff and
they expect prices to be raised,
and so they do not make no hol-
ler, whatever. This Is probably
a good thing, because if prices
was not raised many Of these
people would drop dead of the
shock.
"When Harding gets to be
President there is such a demand
for something to be done with
the tariff that Joe Fordney and
a guy named McCumber get busy
and yank the tariff apart and
scatter it all around the garage
and then assemble it again, take
off their overalls, wash up and
say to the people: Here's your
tariff, as good as new. You will
get the bill later which they do,
and not much later, either"
"What is it they do to the tar
if this timer" asks Elias @. Hig-
ginbotham.

"But why not?" asks Elias 9.
Higginbotham. "They certainly
have a great debate and chew
the fat in Congress about this
formance of "Uncle Toms
tariff for many weeks. What do
they say in this debate?"
"If you want to know what Is
said in that tariff debate" says
Quincy, "you will have to write

to the official stenographers.
They are the only ones that
heard it. A tariff debate Is some
thing that nobody in this coun-
try sits up for. It is like a per-
formance Of Uncle Toms
Cabin The audience knows the
lines better than the actors do.
About the only time you can
not find a Senator or more than
six Representatives in the ma
tional capital is when there Is a
tariff debate on. That is tho old
original chaser, like they used to
put on trapeze performers in
vaudeville. 1t is the best way to
empty the house. The Senators
and Representatives get their
news of this debate from the
Congressional Record, a nifty
publication with lot Of zip and
pep, and is the only magazine in
the world that can get along
without automobile and collar
ads"
"Well, l am kinda worried
about the tariff this time" says
Elias @. Higginbotham.
"Why worry?" asks Quincy.
"The new tariff bill has saved
the country. If you don't be-
lieve it listen to the campaign
speeches this Fall. But, as for
me, I would sooner have q high
tariff than to have the income
tax, which is brought about by
the low tariff"
"Why so?" asks Elias.
Because when I pay my in
come tax I know it. I can pay
the same amount in tariff and
not know it. But now have got
to laugh. The joke Is on u.s."
"Why?" asks Elias 9. Higgin-
botham.
Because we have got 70 pay
both," says Quincy.
The Washington times., 1922-10-22

<T SEE" says Elias @. Hig-
ginbotham, "that Con-
gress has went and passed
the tariff bill and has adjourned.
What do you think about the
tariff"
'I DON'T" says Quincy Todd.
"Why don't you think about
it?" asks Elias @. Higginbotham.
II get all through worrying
about the tariff while U. s.
Grant is President" says Quincy.
81 used to worry about It quite a
lot before that, but it doesn't
seem to do any good"
"But, don't you think it is 60
ing to make prices higher?"
"Well, what Of it? Prices are
going to be higher, anyhow"
says Quincy. "If it amt the
tariff that makes them higher it
will be something else, so it
might as we'll be the tariff. Any
how, tariff legislation is neces-
sary for every administration.
The tariff is like a secondhand
automobile. 1t has always got
to be fixed. And when they get
through tinkering it the people
pay a little more and all is love-
ly. The people should ort to be
used to it by this time.
"The first distinct recollection
I have Of the tariff, as we think
of it to-day, is when Grover is
President. 1t seems as though
something is wrong with the tar
iff when Grover Is elected, which
is the one best bet. Something
Is always wrong with It. Well,
