Rub-My.Tism of Rheumatism.
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1922-02-06

In 1914 before the great European
war upset commerce and created aD-
normal demands for all kinds of goods
and wares. the manufacturers OF tins
country produced products valued at a
little more than &24.0000o000o. and
during that year our exports amounted
to only S2.364.OOOOOO which was less
than ten per cent of all manufactured.
1t would appear from these figures
that the domestic market took better
than 90 per cent of all the goods pro-
duced in the United States. Yet some
economists believe that rather than to
jeOpaTdZe the ten per cent foreign
market we can safely je0pardiZe the
90 per cent domestic market. Pro-
tectionistS cannot take that view. The
home market should be preserved for
the home producer and the only thing
that will do that is a protective tariff.
With this great domestic market rea-
sonably assured at fair prices our pro-
ducers can take their chances in the
markets of the world. But they can
not sell in South America or Europe
or Asia unless they can compete with
the goods made in those countries or
sent there from other countries. fffe
American manufacturer has some JOB
upon his hands to capture the mar
kets Of the world under present con-
ditions with the labor cost OF produc-
ton from three to five times as high
here as elsewhere OF course, we can
sell to other countries many things
which they cannot produce. especially
raw materials. but when our manufact-
urerS must come into competition with
products made in Germany. Japan.
France and elsewhere where labor IS
comparatively cheap they are not GO
ing to get very far.

WHAT LABOR GETS.

Then consider that out of every dol

while out of every dollar the farmer

the city laborer gets only 40 per cent

IN LINE FOR SUPREME JUDGE

There NAV be something in the claim
of President Hardins's political enc
mics that he appointed Kenyon judge
of the Eighth federal circuit in order
to get the senator where he would give
the administration less trouble and an
n0yance. But the friends of Harding
in Iowa are not yet ready to admit that
the president is diSpleaScd with the
attitude of the agricultural bloc ana
that ne is greatly concerned over what
it had done or might do. But all that
aside. The close friends of Kenyon
have for some time known that there
were many things connected with his
official duties as senator that were
very dis ia steful to him and that he had
upon more than one occasion threaten
ed to break over all precedent and con.
ventiOnaliticS to relieve himself of one
of the most unpleasant duties of Il SEN
ator: That of participation in SQcallcd
federal patronage Kenyon very much

often said to some of his nearest
friends that that feature of senatorial
and congressional life ought To he elm

time that should be devoted to other
matters and that it annoyed senator's

FIXING PRICES.

There has been considerable discus
sion in recent months Of ACCESSIBILITY
of congressional action in fixing the
price of certain food products. such as
corn and wheat. also of cotton. Many
people who realize that the great agrl'
cultural interests of the country must
have relief have hesitated in joining
in the demand for congress to do some
thing along the lines Indicated. fearing
possibly that such Il course might Lead
to a situation that would be dangerous
and which might result in more injury
than good in the long run.
The Dcs Moines Register recently en-
tered into the discussion of this pro
blem and while perhaps not presenting
anything new it called attention to con-
litions that have steadily formed since
the civil war period to overthrow the
real functioning of the time honorcd
law of supply and demand. The Reg
lister shows that while price fixing has
not been general. there has been so
| much regulating that it in fact amounts
TO the same thing. Even if certain in
terests do not arbitrarily fix prices they
| arbitrarily fix the supply or increase
| or diminish the demand. The Register
says:
Former Secretary Meredith appar-
| emily is sponsor for Il resolution asking
of congress to at once restore farm
prices to the level of other prices. and
| thereafter to see to it that farm prices
do not come down faster than other
prices in the process of dcflation to pre-
war levels. Secretary Wallace appar-
emily has entered a protest against this
demand upon congress.
The inclination will be, the moment
| price fixing is suggested. TO throw mp
both hands in protest. 1T has been

sometimes seriously interfere with their
efficiency. The senator was of the
opinion that it We're time to devise
some other method of aiding the preSi-
dent in making satisfactory appoint
ments.
In his new position Judge Kenyon
will get away from all this. Moreover.
his motives will not be- questioned and
he will not be subjected TO such coarse
attacks as those INDUCED in of late by
such papers as the Fort Dodge Messen-
ger and the Minneapolis. Journal. which
attacked the senator aud questioned his
motives merely because ne disagreed
with them upon certain problems with
which he came in contact in the senate.

it did wound him deeply to be charged

HIS QUALIFICATIONS.

In speaking of the especial fitness
of w. II. S. Rath of Ackley for state
senator The Iowa Falls Sentinel says
Mr.. Rath called attention to the
matter of making tax exempt Sccnri
ties and bonds pay their share. and
now it seems that the state bankers
are taking up the matter very general
w.
But what would the legislature have
to do with that question? 1t is mat
ter for the federal government to dea
with and it will require a constitution
al amendment to bring about the taxa
ton of these securities. Mr.. .Rath GER
tainly would not expect Iowa to out
law such paper when it would he legal
for the communities in other states to
issue them.
But Nh. Rath was not the gentle
man who discovered" this issue. 1t
has been discussed for several years
and it will take several years to get
the constitution amended. as it will
have to pass congress hy a two-thirds
vote in each house and will have to be
ratified by three fourtliS of the states.
Mr.. Rath seems to be lacking his
political fortunes to false issue.
From what the F'rceman-Journal can
learn of the situation over in Hardin
county. the Hon. Herbert Huff of FL
dora. and not Mr.. Rath. is the leading
candidate for the senate over there.

in every respect and he was the first
