bar against general immigration, but
permits to come per cent each year
of each foreign population already In
the country. This enables many fami-
lies to become united, and is proving
a sound and practical law
The revenue law was designed to
readjust taxes so as to quickly revive
business and create more jobs. The
passage of the law had the practical
effect desired and today the million
men who were idle, are all at work.
Every city newspaper is advertising
for help wanted. One of our Montana
mining companies alone is calling for
1000 additional miners which it can
not find.
The postal employees, the poorest
paid government employees were re-
classified and their salaries raised. A
$40 a month bonus has been given ev-
cry government employee whose salary
is $500 a year or less, to help them
meet the temporary high cost of living.
The Tariff.
The Republican tariff is primarily
directed to protect the American Ia
borer and farmer. 1t is to keep Amer
lean industry going by preventing
cheap Imports from closing domestic
factories and mines and bringing ruin
to live stock and farming industries.
The ideal tariff is one that imposes
just enough tax on imports to make up
the difference between cost of produc-
ton at home under American living
and cost of production
a broad under the low wages and cheap
money conditions that prevail there,
and at the same time not enable the
home producer to profiteer by soaking
the consumer.
The persons who are denouncing the
present tariff bill as being too high
are doing as foolish a thing as finding
lault with the weather next Sunday.
No one can tell exactly what the
weather will be next Sunday and no
,ne can tell what the tariff will be
next month or the month after, for the
Congress has adopted a
lew, modern and scientific idea in
flexible tariff. OF course New York
md other newspapers that represent
importing interests that have been
,uying goods cheap abroad and selling
hem at high prices in America and ,
making exhorbitant profits do not like |
he new tariff law. 1t was not writ
en- to benefit them. 1t was written S

charge is not true. 1t is true the sur
taxes or extra charges on high incomes
were slightly reduced. 1t was found
that men of wealth were withdrawing
their money from active business, and
the government was not getting SO
much tax return from the excessive
war tax rates with business stifled, as
could be collected from rich men with
a slightly lower tax and business
active. Under this new revenue law
the rich actually pay more than before.
Moreover it was necessary to re-estab-
lish business to meet the increasing
unemployment and consequent hard
times.
The greatest tax reductions were
made to affect the people of small and
moderate means.
80 per cent of all tax payers were
benefited by increasing the exemption
allowed to heads of families whose
annual income is $4,000 or less. Here
is a reduction of $1O0,O0O,OOO. The re-
peal of the tax on soft drinks saves
the common people $46000000 more.
The women who bought umbrellas,
millinery, stockings, and underwear,

merly paid and save $26,000,000 a year.
The removal of the taxes on life
insurance premiums and the like save
the rank and file of our population 20
millions a year more.
The taxes on musical instruments
are removed. The children 10 longer
pay tax on base ball bats, footballs,
or fishing tackle, and save $36,000,000
a year.
Budget Bureau.
A Budget Bureau has been created
and the government work systema-
tized. Duplication of work is done
away with. More than 100000 en-
ployees have been dismissed from the
service and sent home to do produc- ;
tive work. Some people think Con-
gress is the spending body. 1t is also
the saving branch of our government.
After the Budget bureau made its last ,
estimate, Congress made marked re-
auctions.
This has been an economy Congress /
ind yet it has not forgotten the West. t
n the three year period 1917, 1918 {
md 1919 the Democratic Congress i
spent around so billions of dollars. For |
he three year period 1921, 1922 and t
1923 the Republican Congress appro- +
,riated less than one-quarter that t
mount. We know of the billions and t
billions raised in the northern Repub- t
lean states and spent in the south. f
Let us look at the record and see what Z

quired, some say erect no wall at all,
let the flood overwhelm us and later
we will see what ought to be done.
The new law Is flexible. The presi-
dent is given power to follow the scien-
tific findings and advice of a nom
political tariff commission, created
during the Wilson rule, and can raise
or lower the wall to fit the changing
situations. Rates may be reviewed
and changed after a hearing, much
like rate hearings before the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
This new tariff idea bids fair to
settle for all time many of our old
tariff troubles, and indicates again
that the Republicans of this Congress
have given unusually careful thought
to the best needs of the whole people.
The Railroad Problem.
No law seems to be more misunder-
stood than the Cummings -Esch Act,
restoring the railroads from war time
government operation back to their
owners.
The untruthful statement is fire.
quentIy made that the government
guarantees the railroads 6 per cent
earnings on their actual stock and also
on watered stock. People who say
that, no doubt believe it is true, or they
would not make that statement. If
the Cummings Esch law did that thing
it ought to be condemned. But it
does nothing of the sort. Not
one penny of subsidy is paid to
the railroads. Not one penny of
earnings is guaranteed any railroad
by the government.
The U. S. labor board agrees upon
what ought to be a minimum wage.
That does not mean the government
that wage to any labor
ing man or group of men. The Ia
borer must first get job, must hold
the job, and work every day or he
does not get the minimum wage pro-
vided by the board. The cases are
exactly parallel, except the govern
ment arrives at minimum wage Ia
oorers should receive, and sets max

Reduced Expenditures and Taxes.
We hear a great deal about tax re-
forms. Everyone has a solution OF the
high tax problem. 1t is to reduce
my taxes and increase the taxes OF
the other fellow" There is no such
thing as a popular tax. The theory
that one can tax a few rich, falls nat
when one realizes how easily taxes
may be passed on in added COSTS To
the ultimate consumer-the common
people.
In the national congress the Repuo-
Iican party has reduced taxes by re-
ducing expenses. There has been
lifting rather than a shifting of taxes.
Under normal conditions our expen-
ditures were about billion dollars a
year.
For the year ending June 1918, the
first year of the war, they mounted "
over 18 billions. The next year they
scared to q billions. Then Repup-
lican Congress was elected. Demo-
Gratis in power still demanded immense
sums. Of the sums demanded the he

Secretady DENLY intimated that

Regarding conditions in China. Mr..
DENLY. speaking "only as a private
individual" stated his belief that
China's salvation would come through
a strong man" who would be able
to hold the military leaders of the
country in check. He declined to
state whether he believed any Chi
suming this position. but said that
Gen. WI Pei Flu. military leader of
the north, was generally regarded as
a strong man. Mr.. Denby said he

Discussing Philippine defense plans.
Secretary DENLY said the United
State was free under the Washington
treaties to increase its air forces in
the islands, a move that had been ad-
vocated by various naval experts. but
that no plans to do so were being
made.
AS to Philippine independence. he
said: "M I were the Filipinos, I
would regard withdrawal from the
United States as the greatest possible
disaster at present. The islands are
more peaceful and prosperous than
most sections of the globe.
Although independence Is the ulti-
mate ideal set up for the Philippines
by America, I believe 1t to be many
years away when the American flag
will come down here"
Inspects Naval Defenses.
He added that under the four-power
treaty plan protection by the United
State would cease automatically If
independence were granted to the is
lands.
Secretary DENLY will make an in
spection of the naval station at Olon-
gapo, 1t is expected. He stated that
the naval yard at Olongapo would
be transferred to Cavite, as had been
planned. He came today from. Olon-

Some folks are always shouting proof
OF anceStorial claims:
They stand about a mile alOof
And brag of family names
But jest the reason for it all

For not a scrap is left TO show
That Adam married Eve.
No doubt the folks of folks like
Have had their ups and downs,
But who could call social strike
Because the Brahmin frowns?
You've simply got TO trust someone,
And kinder half believe
There amt paper left to show
That Adam married Eve.
Whence came the Hankses-whence and
when?
Yet Nancy's gawming son
Set free more sad and hopeless men
Than any king has done;
I'd rather have this common strain
Than lace upon by sleeve,
For there's no evidence to show
That Adam married Eve.
A trick of Coeur-de-L Lions face
Saved Faulconbridge his land.
And not the records OF his race
Nor any scriveners hand;

Some gem it can't retrieve
