Of profit. The figures were astound-
ing. They showed profits ranging
from 235 to 230O per cent.
The McCumber items raised hob
with the importers combination, and
before they could recover from this
blow, Senator Watson published an
other list of imported articles which
likewise showed conclusively that the
importeds combination was literaly
looting the American purchasers; and
added to this species of refined bandit
ry, they were inducing each purchaser
to sign a petition, ready to hand, to
Congress to defeat the rates provided
in the pending bill. These petitions
descended on Congress like leaves in
an autumn wind.
In addition to this the importers
combination is said to have organized
a paper institution known as the Nat
ional Housewives League, with offices
in New York City, which was supposed
to speak for the housewives of the
nation, and this league has been en-
gagged in broadcasting anti-tariff pro-
paganda all over the country. Many
other costly methods OF publicity were
put into operation for the same pur-
pose, and the expense of maintaining
it no man can estimate, but it must
be enormous. or course the importers
can afford to keep it up because of
the huge profits which they reap from
the goods bought abroad.
But this latest move finds the i'm
porters unprepared, while the Repub-
licans have the goods and can present
unimpeachable testimony as to the
movement of every article involved
The voters are going to learn some
things about importers which will
make the latter sorry they started the

WASHINGTON NOTES
Carrying Fight to Enemy's Corner

W
Washington, July ls-(Special Cor
respondence)-Consternation has been
thrown into the ranks Of the importers
combination which has beck viciously
fighting the pending Republican tariff
bill by the announcement recently
made public that members Of Congress
would take exhibits of foreign made
goods to the people in their home dis
tricts during the recess, and let their
constituents see what American indus
tries are up against. This is said to
be the first time that the importers
have had the fight carried into their
corner, and they are dismayed at the
outlook.
About five months ago Chairman
Fordney, of the Ways and Means Com
mittee of Congress, thought il would
be a good idea, sirce the importers
combination was lambasting the pro-
tcctive tariff so mercilessly, to make
quiet investigation OF the enemy's
own camp and ascertain whether they
were really in earnest in their predic-
ticns OF high prices to follow the Re-
publican tariff bill, or if they were
merely throwing smoke-screen a.
round their own operations. The re-
suits of the investigation were start
ling even to Chairman Fordney. He
showed that or a large number Of i'm
ports investigated that the importers
were making unconscionable profits.
This quickly put the importers COM
bination on the defensive. and they
concentrated their vast influence,
maintained by the advertising which
they carried in large number of
metropolitan papers, in counter at
tack through the editorial columns of
those papers on the tariff bill. For
time, while they did not gain any
ground, they managed to held their
position. Then Chairman McCumber,
of the Senate Finance Committee. pub

A Remarkable Record

The consummate skill with which
the Nations finances have been hand
led is reflected in the report of Sec
retary Mellon on the condition of the
Treasury on June Both, the last day
of the fiscal year, 1922. An estimated
deficit of $24,OOO,O 900 has been turned
into an actual surplus of s3l4,OOO, 900.
In addition the public debt has been
reduced by sl,014 100000.
1t is probable that never before in
the history Of the country has fiscal
year shown such tremendous reaction
in favor Of economy and sound finan-
cial policies. The gross extravaganza
that had featured the former admin
istration gave way to a program of
rigid economy when President Harding
took office on March 4, 1921. 1t has
been impossible. however, to estimate
accurately the full effect of Republican
retrenchment until the completion of
the first fiscal year under Republican
rule. The actual figures made public
by Secretary Mellon are an ample re-
ward to the voters who put their con-
'fidence in the Republican policies and
candidates.
Equally important, also, is the mani
festation Of determination on the part
Of the administration to continue and
increase economies in the future. After
first instituting rigorous reductions in
expenditures in his own official house.
hold at the White House, saving e
large per cent OF the sums spent under
the previous administration, President
Harding has addressed to the heads Of
all Departments and Bureaus a demand
for still closer scrutiny of their ac-
tivities and attendant expenditures
In this highly laudable demand.
President Harding is entitled to the
full and sincere cooperation of all the
people. There is constant agitation
for the extension of Federal activities
for new and enlarged national public
service. Those who promote such
movements secure the endorsement Of
individual citizens and organizations
OF citizens, thus bringing pressure to
bear upon Congress for increased ap-
preparations. All citizens who desire
to aid the President in his economy
efforts should refuse to be party to
any movement for added public expen-
ditures.
II the President and his Department
heads can have the cooperation of the
people, further success will crown the
effort to reduce expenses and also
taxes.

workmen making packing-cases. Their
