900 coming in for that month. And if
we import for IL months at the rate
we have for the first four of the new
law, the first year of the new law will
have permitted no less than S3,7OO,-
100000 worth of foreign goods to
come into the American market. That
is nearly 81 ,OOO,OOO,OOO more than
came during the corresponding 12
months under the Democratic tariff
law, October 1921 to September 1929,
inclusive.
at is also worthy of note that the
first four months of the new tariff
law produced almost as much customs
revenue as was realized from the Dem
ocratic tariff law during the entire
year of 1919-S1S3, ,42S,625.
"The new law as a revenue producer
has upset all calculations. While it
was under debate in the House the
Treasury actuary estimated that it
would yield S4OO,0OO,0OO a year. In
his annual report the Secretary of the
Treasury estimated S450,000,000, since
when the estimate has been steadily
increased. The Treasury experts now
estimate as high as S54O,000,000, and
the optimist, multiplying the results
of four months by three is justified
in raising this estimate another $1O,-
1000 900 The value of these revenues
to taxpayers heavily burdened by in
come taxes and surtaXes can be ap-
preciated, and the ability of the new
tariff as revenue producer lends
strength to the recommendations of
the Secretary of the Treasury tfrat in
Iternal taxes be pared down.
Meanwhile our exports are like
wise recording the healthy increase of
22 per cent, comparing October 1922
February 1928 with the correspond
ing period the year before, under the
Democratic law. This effectually dis
poses of the prediction that we could
not sell because the new tariff law
would prevent US from buying abroad"

WASHINGTON NOTES
March Customs Collections.

Washington, April 23.-"Ten years
ago the collection of $62,OOO,0O0 in
customs revenues in a single month
under the protective tariff policy
would have startled Republicans and
might have called for an explanation
as to whether the tariff was too low"
says the Republican Publicity Associa-
tion, through its President, Hon. JON
athan Bourne, Jr. "On March 81,
last, the books of the Treasury De-
partment showed that we collected
S62, 2,l72 900 in customs revenues. Thus
March breaks all records as a month
of customs revenue production.
March collections emphasize the
prohibitive measure THAT its enemies
have accused it of being. Quite the
contrary. Imports are coming in un-
der the Republican protective meas
ure in greater volume than they did
under the Democratic law in normal
times, fact which might almost justi-
fly the contention of some of the more
ardent protectionists that the new law
is too low. For instance, the average
ad valorem rate of duty under the
Democratic law during its first year
was 14.SS per cent. If we divide the
value of imports during the first four
months and nine days of the new law
81 ,247 900, ,OO0-into the duties col
lected for that period-S1S3, ,423 900
we establish an average ad valorer Of
l4.7, or slightly less than the Demo-
cratic anti-protection law during its
first year. There is nothing to indi-
cate that this average was higher dur
ing March. For the month of October
the average ad valorem was l6 per
cent; for November, 14.2; for De-
cember. 1876; and for January, LAG
per cent. February imports not re-
ported).
''Now if we divide the highest ad
valorem above mentioned, 16 per cent,
into the March customs revenues, we
find importations valued at 1881, ,50O,-

What is a Fair Price for Sugar?

of course, it is easy and natural for
politicians in Congress to start SEN
sational investigation of the sugar in
dustry, on the theory that the price
of sugar has been artificially advanc-
ed.
The fact is to be taken into consid-
GRAFTON that great world products like
sugar, cotton, wool and lumber are
subject to price fluctuations and that
the present high price of these staples
will not last forever.
The same politicians who spring the
sugar probe are not alarmed over the
high prices of other products, or alb
normally high prices for labor, but
they see a chance to score with the
housewives on sugar
1t is a question, whether ten cents
pound would not be fairer price
for sugar, everything considered, all
the year around. 1t would be fairer
price than five cents a pound.
Five cents a pound means starva-
ton conditions for the American farm
ers who grow beets and a struggle for
existence among the beet sugar re-
finers.
There are two sides to the question,
but this country has more to hope for
from high prices for Americans grown
beets and high wages for American
labor than it has from political dem
ogogues who agitate for votes.

Emp.oye Ownership Spreading.

And now somes the General Electric
Company with $4,000 bond issue
taken over by its employees. So long
as the bonds remain in the hands of
the original holder he will receive 8
per cent interest if he stays in the en-
ploy of the company.
The total number o. subscribers is
24,144. The average subscription is
s203 and the ratio of employees sub
scribing to the total employees is 33
per cent. On April 10, S5,0OO,OOO of
common stock of the company was
distributed to employees who has been
paying for it on the installment basis
during the past % months.
Thus does the ownership of one of
Americas greatest industrial corpor-
ations go more and more into the
hands Of the workers. This is real
community ownership wherein the
wages and the profits are distributed
among the people who do the work.

Lamar teams was well patronized. The
Bristol team had been much strength

the close margin of 8 to 6. Young and

ODD COMPANY FOR QUAKER
Reactions to Voice Of Man Of Peace
Said to Be Same as Those Of
General hindenburg.

An interesting story r-uches US from
4 Quaker source about the discovery
of German professor of phOnetlcs who
is engaged In collecting and analyzing
photographic records uf the voice Of
speakers Of every country and Ian
guage. During the war lac not only got
records from allies and war prisoners
Of nearly every country under the sun,
but also carefully tabuluted the voice
reactions of the most famous OF his
own countrymen.
Recently he begged a well-knOwn
English Quaker, who was on visit
to Berlin In connection with intersla-
tional peace work, to allow II record Of
his voice to be made. This wus Mr. O.
Heath, the late secretary Of the Ma
tionHl Peace council, and now secretary
Of the Friends Council for Interna-
tionHl Service. He gave a brief address
On the peace principles Of QuHkerism
into the photographic receiver. while
the professor eagerly watched the ma
chimes delicate Indicator. which re
corded all the lights and shades Of the
speakers voice
AT the conclusion Of the test the pro
fessor pronounced that the verdict Of
the machine was that the reactions to
the Quaker's voice were exactly the
same as those to General Hindenburgs

Henry is Willing!

Arthur Brisbane suggests the pos
sibility of Henry Ford candidacy for
President in 1924 on an anti-foreign
ENHANCEMENT platform. Has Mr.. Bris-
bane forgotten that Henry Ford ran
for senator in Michigan as President
Wilson's personally selected League of
Nations candidate and that one of Mr.
Ford's patriotic ideas u few years ago
was to pull down the American flag
over his plant and hoist in its stead
some emblem of internationalism Or
does Mr. Brisbane believe that Mr.
Ford's political convictions are suf-
ficiently elastic to permit him to run
on any old platform? That sort of
elasticity might suit Mr.. Brisbane, but
the American people would want to
be sure where Mr.. Ford would finally
land on this proposition before they
entrusted him with the standard of
those who do not favor European en-
tanglement.-Ex.

The Trap for Uncle Sam.

Elliot Wadsworth has been trying
to see what chances the United States
might have in collecting the cost of
maintaining our army upon the Rhine
out of the reparations which Germany
has paid over to the Allies.
He has been given nine-course
luncheon by French statesmen. The
whisper is that he will be decorated
with the ribbon the Legion of Honor.
He has been listened to patiently and
answered with flattery. But he is no
nearer to getting that $225, 900, 900
from the Allies than he was before
he defied Indigestion to do its worst.
The Allies of course, will not give
up S225,OOO,000 merely upon request.
1t is not the way things are done
abroad. The French press explains
very frankly that it is desirable to
have America very much determined
to get the money. Then she would
take a seat in the reparations com
mission. She would concern herself
with making Germany pay the in
IDENTITIES. She would get into the
affair so deeply, it is argued, that she
would have to back up the campaign
in the Ruhr
All of which means that it will be a
very long time before any of tlrat
S225 100000 spent upon the Rhine
comes back across the Atlantic. The
trouble Of getting along without it is
of smaller consequence than the
troubles we would have to assume to
get within eyeshot of the money.
The incident reveals the quality of
that European comradeship which we
are so loudly asked to invest in. As
outsiders we are worked numerically
by the suave politicians of those coun-
tries to whose rescue we went in 1917.
Inside their fold we might be lucky
if we escaped with our shirts.-Toledo

Would Sacrifice Tooth for Dime.

Carroll had tooth pulled and
thnDugh some miraculous agency
known only to mothers and fathers
that tooth placed under his pillow at
nignt had turned into silver dime.
Not many days later Carroll pre-
,ented himself at his fathers office
and demanded that another tooth be
pulled. Upon fathers refusal Carroll
grew insistent and finally between
sohs of grief he explained:
"Walter hasn't any kite, and kites
cost 10 cents at the book store. and /
wanted you to pull my tooth 50 /
could put 1t under my pillow tonight
and then In the morning | would have

Politics VS.. The Constitution.

If press dispatches are correct, the
"open shop" question will come to the
front as a campaign issue in 1924.
1t seems ridiculous that our great
republic should be torn apart polite
ally over a principle basic to our con-
stitution which guarantees freedom
and protection to the individual.
A man who is against the open shop
must be against the freedom and pro-
lection guaranteed in the constitution
What candidate would announce him
self against the very foundation stone
of our government? Why try to drag
in the open shop as political issue
1t is done by the radicals to stir up
class hatred and an agitation against
so-called big business" and sound
government.
If our laws fail 20 equally protect a
union man or a non-union man in his
right to live and work, we no longer
have a free government. What pub
lie official would dare to uphold a
policy which would deny any man the
right to work at a lawful occupation
simply because he did not belong to
some labor organization

No Place Like Home.

Republican National Chairman Ad-
ans, just back from a trip abroad,
SAYS that Americans should see Eu-
rope if they want to get proper ap-
probation of what the Harding ad-
-ministration is doing for the United
States. The American example of
retrenchment is available for the ma
tions of the Old World to copy if they
choose to do so, but thus far they
have taken no heed. If comparison
between domestic conditions now and
what they were when Mr.. Harding en-
tered the White House is not enough
to convince the doubters, they should
see at first hand the results Of Eu-
ropean folly.

Why should you, Mr.. Farmer, be
the only merchant who is not allow
ed to mark the price tag on your own
goods? You are entitled to a profit
on the merchunise you raise and sell.
Why don't you get it2 You must have
a national organization sothat you can
dictate your prices; then you must
fool the world by sticking to it.
(SOme folks say farmers do not stick
to their organizations.) You farmers
must not expect the state to build your
warehouses or act as your guardian in
any manner. That's a silly idea.
Might as well ask the state to help
out poor eye doctors or bankers or
any of the various lines of endeavor
outside Of farming. Just remember
that God helps those who help them

Write N e w s

At our invitation, the school chill
dren are reporting news for The
Herald. In this paper, at any rate,
children have an equal show with
adults. We hope that other COM
munities in the Oakley trade terri
tory will send in school notes.
So many people have no idea of
how important children really are.
Even some people of the better sort
think it's necessary to apologize for
children because they are not like
adults. The lack of resemblance is
one of the advantages enjoyed by
the children. The Herald likes chill
dren, not because they're going to
be men and women some day, but
because they're children now.
