COOLIDGE STANDS FAST FOR
 PROTECTION

Among the Harding policies which President Coolidge has assured the country he will maintain during his ad ministration is the support of the principle of protective tariff. Presl- dent Coolidge has been atlifelong be- liever in the America First policy. He believes in encouraging the Amerl- can industries and protecting Ameri- can producers from unjust competi- tion from other nations in which wages and production costs are much lower than in the United tSates.
 Recognition that there are unsettled conditions throughout most of the world and particularly in Europe, the Republican Congress which passed the present tariff law included therein what is known as "flexibility clause" which authorizes the President, after investigation by the Tariff Commis- sion to make changes in tariff rates not exceeding fifty per cent in either direction, when good cause has been shown why the changes should be made. Exponents of the free trade principle looked upon this fleXibillty provision as designed solely for the purpose of reducing tariffs. Scarcely had the act been placed upon the sta ute books when they began clamoring for executive action for the reduction of rates. Without any regard whatever for the reasonableness of the import duties imposed and without any con- sideralion of the effect upon American industries, these free-trade agitatOrs wanted wholesale exercise of the eX- ecutive power for the reduction oI Re publican protective tariff duties.
 President Harding did not look up- on the fleXibility clause as bestowing upon him any such broad power over the tariff law. He regarded the tariff act as establishing not only the tariff principles which should be observed but the details of import taxes, change able only when extraordinary circum- stances called for action. He did not regard it as his prerogative to under take a wholesale revision of the tariff law enacted by that branch of the gov ernment which the Constitution pre- scribes shall have the power to enact revenue legislation. It is readily ap- parent that President Coolidge takes d similar view
 One clever device Of the free trad CTS has been to assume that every move in favor of protection is inspired by politics, while every move in the direction of abandonment of protec- tion is actuated by regard for the pub lie welfare. Thus, one periodical, with an unbroken record against a protec-

For some time past Kirk wood has had his motive down but no opportunity has been granted him to bring it forward in the House of Com mons. It is said that s550,000 is for the privy purse of the King and Queen alone. But then there are castles to keep up, many charity donations, etc., and these things do cost money. Kirk wood bases his motion on the critical financial condition of the country af- ter the war and the lack of employ ment for thousands of workers.

standing, hewn from logs and
fastened together by wooden pins
as was customary in the old days
when iron nails were very ex-
pensive.
John D. saw a wild turkey hen
in the woods. By patient stalk
ing, he finally found her nest. He
carried away her young ones, took
them home and fattened them. Late
in the year he drove his flock to
the village and sold them.
The money? He put it in the
bank, of course.
One day afterward, while dig
ging potatoes, young John D. lean
ed on his hoe and began thinking.
1t occurred to him that he had to
till the soil several days to get as
much money as his turkey fund
was paying him year IN interest,
and for which interest he didn't
have to work a stroke.
John D. invested his money in
turkey hens.
From his turkey venture, the
elder Rockefeller learned a les
son that shaDed his antira busi-
ness career During his lifetime
he probably has made, as profits,
more than a billion dollars. he
could not have made anything like
this huge amount by his own per-
sonal direct efforts.
That he did accumulate a bill
lion was principally due to his caus-
ing money and other men to work
for him.

ONE EFFECT OF
TAX-EXEMPTS.

Investments in tax-exempt Sc
curities have resulted in a reduc-
ton of more than $4,0O0,OOO,OO0
in the total net incomes reported
for last year.
In 1916, 206 persons were re-
ported in the million-dollar-in-
come class, and last year this had
shrunken to only 81 persons as a
result of billion dollars or more or
tax exempt securities being issued
every year and gobbled up by the
investors.
With an estimated $3O,OOO,OOO,-
600 of tax-exempts absorbed by in
vestors, taxpayers with $4,000 in
comes or less Fay IS per cent OF
federal income tax.
Between the excess profits tax
reducing incomes by investing in
tax-exempt securities, We are not
making the rich poorer but the
poor are made poorer, for more
and more the burden of the feder.
al income tax is falling upon those
with small incomes.

There is, Of course a good deal

REVENGE
You've shown your album of pictures containing
Five hundred diversified scenes
I've nodded and smiled while you kept explaining
Exactly what each of them means;
I've lamped every building and tower and steeple
And pretended, somehow 81
To like all snapshots of quite unknown people,
But-PVE got camera now
u
I've heard of each view that you took how you shot it,
The why and the where and the when
I've heard of your lens, just how cheaply you got it.
Again and again and again!
You've told me the weather conditions surrounding
Each picture you've taken, vow;
I've borne the whole thing with patience Astounding
But-IVE got camera now!
And shall fill albums with people whose faces 4
Are quite unfamiliar to you
AND shall take pictures of all sorts of places
Exceedingly boresome to view;
l IL show them to you, and I'll babble of lenses
Till WEAKNESS crinkles your brow;
I've listened to all your kodaking frenzes
But-IVE got camera now!

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
A STEP BACKWARD

At the recent annual convention
Of the Insurance Federation of
Pennsylvania, held in Reading
Pa, Henry Swift Ives, Secretary
of the Casualty Clearing House OF
Chicago, made the following re-
marks in regard to present-day
tendencies.
Every addition to power of
state affecting private prop
= erty right and privileges is a
step backward. Every subtrac-
ton from such power is a step
forward. The besetting sin of
this generation is that there is
too much addition and no sub
traction. Democratic ideals are
being scrapped and autocratic
principles substituted There is
a turning back to political prin-
ciples of three centuries ago
which held the State to be para
mount and the individual only
a pawn in the game of Kings.
THE drift toward socializa-
ton of industries is the most
alarming manifestation Of this
reactionary and anti-democratic
movement. If the State sue
ceeds in absorbing insurance,
transportation, light, power and
food distribution, the socialist
millennium will be just around
the corner.
There Us no possible excuse
for calling the government own
ership movement a liberal ten
dency. 1t is as raactionary as
hell itself. 1t hanks back to the
dark ages. 1t is the forerunner
of a revival of autocracy. 1t
2eeds on misdirected a)truism,
thrives on goodly sentiment,
and leads away from both"
We do not Want government
ownership, but government CON
troll is necessary. Industry
should be given every fair oppor-
tunity to expand and to reap a
reasonable profit.
1t is the filching of the people
by public utilities in the past that
caused the cry for government
ownership.
We do not care to see our util-
tiles operated by the state, neither
can we tolerate the interference of
private utilities and their at
temps to deny the people the right
to operate their utilities of they
desire.
We hope to see the Municipal
league bills pass the Legislature,
not because we desire to secure
our hydro-electric power from state
or county owned power plants, but
because we should have the right
to issue bonds for this purpose
when it becomes necessary in or
der to secure reasonable rates.
This is not "reactionary as hell, "
1t is simply protection.
