through opposition to the lowering of any specified duties, but rather to counter demand for corresponding re- vision ali along the line. A resolute policy of this sort on the part of South ern statesmen would force the enemies of the South, either to abandon their tactics or else to submit to complete revision. It is unfortunate that this question of the tariff should be con- tinually bobbing up. It would be far better to insure a period of freedom from tariff tinkering. The country now enjoys prosperity. Any funda- mental change might be disastrous. If there is to be tariff legislation, it should be gradual in it's application, and the statesmen of the South should see to it that the products of the South shall not bear the full burden of the experiment,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-11-29
PRICE-FIxING THAT FAILED

That legislation, even when based upon good intentions, is not cure-all for economic situations was demon strated recently in Argentina. That country, perhaps influenced by opin- ion of some Americans with respect to aiding the wheat farmer, enacted a minimum price law. This law was designed to apply to an alleged trust of the foreign packing companies which were permitted to operate in that country, and was expected to insure flair prices" to livestock pro- ducers. The law proved impractica- ble, as it almost immediately threat ened to close most of the packing plants and thereby deprive livestock raisers of market. It dealt serious blow at the industry it was intended to aid, because the packers declined to purchase cattle at the price fixed by law.
 According to the Breeders Gazette, if the situation is not clarified long before expiration of the period within which the law has been suspended, Ar gentina will cease to be an exporter of beef, since the packers supplies will soon be exhausted. That publi- cation adds: If the difficult situa- ton which the new legislation has created is not promptly worked out to the mutual satisfaction of pro- ducers~ and packers, it is fair to as- sume that the price of commercial beef cattle in the United States will ad- vance considerably. Meantime, Ar gentina producers have already begun to realize that price-fixing legislation is an expensive delusion."
 The price-fixing failure in Argen- tina may not suggest an intimate analogy between the situation in that country and the price-fixing which has been proposed in the United States for certain products, especially for wheat, but the failure in Argentina

--------------- THE TARIFF BoBS UP

It has been said that nobody un. derstands the tariff. Perhaps that is because those who pull the strings distract the public attention by the dangling of the puppets, so that the real function of the tariff is mistaken for public policy. Although the a,i ministration has lent itself to high protective tariff, the real purpose of the tariff is to furnish those who gamble in the public necessities a pro- lection behind which they may prey upon the American people. To those who make the claim that the tariff prevents foreign goods from being dumped on our markets, reply is elo- quent when one. merely points to the tariff on wheat. That tariff has helped the wheat farmer not at all. because he has had no competition ex- cept in foreign markets where no tariff can help him. The argument that the tariff protects against Canadian wheat loses its force when one real Izes that certain grades of Canadian wheat are indispensable to our mill ing processes, and that this wheat is imported, tariff or no tariff, the American consumer paying the addi- tlonal cost brought about by the tariff The wheat tariff is valuable, to De sure, but valuable only to those who manipulate wheat and wheat product prices for their own enrichment.
 The tariff as it now stands is full of inequalities. These inequalities are not accidents. The high duties on some articles are there because special effort was made to make them high for the private profit thus to be gained. Other articles have smaller duties because there was less effort on the part of interested ones to have them higher. The South, in all this distribution of special favors, has had less duties on it's products because the South has opposed high tariff. As a result, the South pays high for it's commodities. It is now alleged that certain interests hostile to the South are contemplating reduction in the tariff on certain articles of Southern production. While standing for low tariff, the South at the same time deeply resents such manipulation of the tariff as will discriminate against the South. The tariff revision down. ward must comprehend the entire tariff schedules, without regard to sectional distribution. Any other plan would involve injustice and fa- voritism.
 l The way to bring this about is not
