The why's and where fores for
and again st the tariff have been
worn threadbare. with very Of
ten the arguments sophistical
in both cases.
Here's one of the why's from
the Colorado manufacturer of
that specific nature:
"a tariff is merely to so
equalize the cost between the
foreign and domestic product
that our home facto ries will at
least have an even break IN 60
ing after the business. These
are primary principles which
any body can understand"
Now, that's reason able. If
by their cheap labor they can
ship their wares over here and
undersell US. We should make
them make our people pay US
the difference.
Do you get that? It's this
way. Mr.. Foreigner brings
wares s that cost a dollar to pro-
duce hero and so cents over
there.
Then We make him pay us 20
cents, and he puts so cents TO
the price of his ware 5 and thus
oHr people pay him back the 80
cehts--and thus we make him
make our people pay the diff
ence in cost here and there.
That's good so far as it goes.
but 1t doesn't go quite far
enough to thoroughly protect
our manufacturers.
In view Of the fact that our
manufacturers ship their double
cost wares to those cheap-Iabor
countries and undersell the ID in
their own markets, our people
by means of the tariff should be
compelled to pay enough mora
for both home and foreign wares
to renumerate US for our losses
in selling our wares on the Sc
foreign markets.
Respectfully submitted TO the
Colorado Manufacturers for an
Indorsement.

more or less financial contraction. A
study of the financial exhibits shows
that bank reserves are being built

Of 1920; interest rates arc relatively
low and have been tending to remain

Notwithstanding the activity In

facts.
For big business has been acting
more cautiously than It did during

1924-On the whole, constructive
year, with business good and marking
the beginning OF a period OF longer
prosperity.
Moody is not swayed by sentiment.
Cold facts are his fodder. He has been
in the financial atmosphere for more
than thirty years and is now president
Of Moody's Investment Service, which
was founded in 1908 for the devslop-
ment of the Moody Rating System on
Investments and to furnish expert re-
ports and advice on business and in
vestment conditions 20 banks. bank

has frequently gone abroad to inves-
tigate the foreign situation and Is in

timism. We will find It, on the whole,

CHURCHES REPORT
RAPID GROWTH IN
YEAR NOW PASSING
Membership Increases and
Sunday Schools Are
Active,
BY DR.. c. H. WINDERs,

secretary -Church Federation or In
dianapols.
1"l HE year 1925 has been one Of
very satisfactory growth, both
- in numbers and in all other
phases OF church activity and life. A
new interest has been manifested in
church work for the past few years.
During 1929 over one million people
were added to the church. Indian
apolis was able to report its full share
of this increase, and while full sta
tistIcs cannot be given for 1928, the
reports are sufficiently full to justify
us in saying that the increase will not
fall below that Of 1922, which was ap-
proximately 5000.
The years 1921 and 1922 witnessed
extensive improvements IN church
building. More than $1,000 900 was in
vested in either new buildings or in
improving old ones during 1922. Some
Of the buildings begun in 1922 were
completed during the present year,
and other new enterprises were I'M
dertaken during this year, but less
money on the whole, was put into new
buildings this year than last.
Social Life Stressed
These buildings indicate the scope
Of the work undertaken by the
churches. While fifteen or twenty
years ago little attention was given
to the social and recreational life
which the church sought to furnish.
the new buildings now being erected
and the old ones improved are con-
structed with a view TO meeting these
needs Of the community.
This does not mean that less en-
phasis Is being placed on preaching Of
the gospel and the worship OF the
church. These deal with the sources
Of spiritual life, and to neglect them
woul dmean to convert the church
into a club or a society. The church,
however, feels that 1t has been falling
to meet its full responsibility, espe-
cially to the young people and is now
seeking to make itself the center OF
social, recreational and educational as
we'll as religious interests for the com
munity.
Sunday School Active
L
gore forward more rapidly during the
past few years than the educational.
Sunday school attendance has IN
creased very rapidly throughout the
entire country. The statement recent
ly has boen made that the Sunday
school enrolment OF the United States
has Increased 100000 a year for
the past four years.
The Indianapolis Sunday schools
have steadily grown through these
years. We feel that the report OF
| the recent survey covering the field
of religious education for this State
Is hardly fair for the reason that the
comparison deals not with the past,
which would have revealed very great
progress, but with ideal conditions.
Such a comparison as this would
make an unfavorable showing for
