The Tariff

On April 11th the Senate Finance
Committee reported out the so-called
Fordney tariff bill which provides for
a general revision of our tariff laws,
and which has been under considera-
tion for that Committee for several
months. The reported bill, which is
considered an administration meas
ure, was opposed by the Democratic
members of the Committee.
Among other things, the present
bill differs from the measure which
passed the House in that Committee
considered the so-called American val
uation plandifficult to operate in some
respects. and substituted it it's stead
the old foreign valuation principle
with the following provision for a
flexible tariff: 'The President is au-
thorized to modify rates either up
ward or downward within prescribed
limits fifty per cent?, and in accord
ance with definite rules laid down by
Congress, so that rates may at all
times conform to existing conditions"
The majority of the Committee in
its report to the Senate stated that
the rates imposed where considered
sufficient and at the some time permit
fair competition from other countries.
While no definite predictions can be
made, it is hoped that the bill will
pass the Senate within the next two
months.
The following table shows some of
the rates recommended by the Com
mittee on products which Colorado
citizens are most Interested in and a
comparison is made between the duty
provided for in the measure as it
passed the House. namely, the Ford
ney bill, and the old Underwood tar
iff law:

The Trouble With the Railroads
tFrom the New York Herald.)

The American public pays all the
railroad bills and when the railway
workers are threatening to resist
wage Adjustments with nationwide
strikes the American public has a
right TO know what becomes of the
bulk Of the five billions to six bill
lions ef dollars a year 1t has been
giving up to the carriers since the
colossal wage and rate increases
which came with Government oper-
alton OF the roads. For the labor
costs of the roads went up from 1917
to 1920 by two billions OF dollars
From 1915 they went up by two and
a half billions OF dollars to a total
in 1920 of ss,70O,00O,0O0.
The trouble with the railroads
which causes the staggering national
transportation bill for the American
public to pay has not been merely
the wage scale of the railroad
worker. 1t has been the money paid
out as labor charges week after
week, no matter what the scale
might be. 1t has been the money
that thousands OF railway workers
have been drawing in excess of the
wage scales. sometimes without
working even the number of hours
covered by the wage scales. II IS
the working conditions put into eff
feet under Government operation to
give the railroads the maximum of
labor cost for a minimum of labor
effort.
The American public Is entitled to
know how the money II pays the
railroads was thrown away under
Government operation and more or
less continues to be thrown away
because OF the so-called national
agreements and reclassif1cations OF
labor by the Government admins

MISUNDERSTANDING SHIPMENTS

YVNE statistics regarding number Of carloads OF
freight which have been shipped within recent
weeks are highly significant in important re-
spects, says the Railway Age.
Because of the coal strike the ioadngs OF coal have
been small 1t is a remarkable fact however that in
every week the weeks ending with May 21, the
number of unloaded with commodities other than
larger than in the corresponding week Of any
year loading statistics have been pub
shed loadings OF commodities other than coal in
these four weeks the four years have been as
follows: 1919, 2ss2s1o cars; 1920. 2,675,ss2 cars
1921 2s4e,sss cars 1922. 2771,s74 The load
ings Of commodities other than coal in these weeks in
1922 represent the following increases those for
the same weeks Of the other years mentioned 1919.
400 ss4 cars; 1920. s5s42 cars; 1921. 421,7s1
The loadings Of coal in these weeks follows:
1919 sso60s cars; 1920 s7s.5s1 cars; 1921. 6Oss27
cars; 1922 s1217s 1T will be that the load
ngs of coal in 1921 represent decline OF than
one-half as compared with OF any OF the other
years mentioned II the oadngs Of coal had been as

number of cars of kinds of freight shipped would

Wilmington Resident Says
Nothing Ever Reached
Her Case Until She
Began Taking Tanlac;
Health Now Splendid

by the help OF Tanlac I have

which I had suffered almost con-
stantly for four or five years." Is the
remarkable statement made a few
days ago by Mrs. John Marshall, re-
siding at Palmers Row, Whining
ton. Del.
MY ailments had become so nu-
merous and distressing that I could
hardly endure life, and have spent
enough money trying to find relief

in the stomach and chest, and my
heart would beat so fast and furious

not even retain such things as Cruel,
crackers and milk at times, and
was so rundown that I scarcely had
strength and energy to handle a
broom. My homework was an aw-
full burden TO me andI often had TO

down. My nerves would go all to

constipation and would have sud

gress is. of course, offensive. This
country. with its large foreign-born
population, won't tolerate foreign
parties here. We have had enough
Of hyphenism and It works. But this
does not imply that an ambassador,
when asked by Americans to express
his thoughts. should suddenly be-
come dumb or insincere.
America is not afraid Of the re-
suits OF free talk. The prerogatives
Of Congress are not diminished by
It. More than any other body It
should welcome illumination from
any quarter. America will scarcely
be benefited by gagging foreign rep
reseDtatives or otherwise denying TO
them access to the open forum OF
American public opinion. To en-
phasize, as Ambassador Ricci did,
the proposition that International
trade is necessarily reciprocal-that
selling can't occur unless there is
buying-should not be unpalatable.
A truth remains a truth no matter
what its mouthpiece.
Congress is equipped with ample
power to protect itself against die
tation. 1t will have only itself to
blame IL IT becomes meanly sub
servient. Senator Watson is need
lessly alarmed. II may be suspect
ed that he shifts his ground because
he does not find It easy TO resist the
argument that we should consider
our export trade when adopting
regulations to govern our import
trade.

President Donhn OF the Building
Trades Department Of the American
Federation of Labor Is right in as
serting that the country is tired OF
strikes and rock-outs and disguised
with the institutions that make them
possible.
There is truth in his further dec
laration that unnecessary strife in
industry is too often caused by the
irresponsible or the demagogue. If
Spokesman for the capital invested
in building trades were as frank in
confession there would be more hope
for an end of the costly industrial
wars that continually block return
ing prosperity.
Mr.. Donlin's suggestion that a
central and national board of labor
control consisting of labor leaders.
could minimize strikes and lock-outs
and help to Ak responsibility for
them is intelligent and constructive.
The needless and often disastrous
strike usually begins as local dis
agreement and spreads to national
size. Many Of these strikes would
never take place IL the sober counsel
Of intelligent labor leaders were sub
stltuted for the infammatory utter
ances of professional agitators.
Conspiracles among contractors
and laborers. such as took place in
New York during the reign OF Brin-
dell. would be impossible If all the
inside dealings had to be disclosed
to an intelligent central body.
