HOW THE TARIFF WORKS

When the tariff bill was under consideration
potash was put on the free list on the theory
that admitting that commodity free would mean
lower prices for fertilizers. Immediately after
the passage of the BILL German and French own
ers of potash deposits got together in conlbin-
alton for the control of the marketing of their
output and selling organization was formed in
this country, with the result that prices farmers
must pay have gone up. Saving the farmer from
the so-called robber baron of the United States
did not save him from the robber baron of Eu-
rope. Now it is announced that there are pot
ash deposits in New Jersey great enough to
supply the needs of the nation for 1000 years.
The only question is whether the American pot
ash can be put on the market in free competition
with the German French potash. Experience in
other commodities has shown that the foreign
producer will undersell the American product un-
til he has driven the American producer to the
wall and then boost his prices again. The only
permanently satisfactory system which has been
found is the imposition of an import duty
which will guarantee the American producer
against destructive competition, and under that
assurance, the American industry is developed to
such an extent that the consumer gets the
lower price from the American producer So
lcng as he is in danger Of destructive competi-
ton from abroad, the American cannot safely
invest the large amount of capital that is nee
essary to attain quantity production, with its re-
duced costs.

REMEMBER THIS

Not only did the republicans, in their 1921 in
ternal revenue bill, take about $800000,000 from
the tax burden of the people, but they paved the
way for national prosperity that is likely to
make further tax reductions in the near future.
It is understood that the income tax collections
for March Is were about $50,000,000 greater
than had been estimated. Collections will con-
tinue to increase as the prosperity wave adds to
taxable incomes, and the point may soon be
reached where the ordinary expenses of the gov
ernment, plus reasonable annual payments on the
national debt, may be met with lower income tax
rates than at present. But the voters should
remember that that hope can be realized only
by continuing in power the party whose policies.
will make it possible.

A LIMIT TO HER FAITH
+++*%@**+s+**** + I

During the progress of big "pro-
tracted meeting" for which the south
is famous, an ardent sister OF the
church, who usually came in an old
fashioned blackboard drawn by the
family horse, was late for a particul-
arly important service and was being
severely censured by the pastor.
Explaining the reason for being late
the good sister said that the horse had
taken fright at a passing train and
bolted and that the wreck of the rig
had prevented her from being on
time
my dear sister, such little things
should not make you late for divine
services. You should trust in the
Lord
"Welf, brother" she replied, and
there was look of calm peacefulness
on her face, did trust in the Lord till
the bellyband busted and then had
to jump

THE BENEFICIARY

Private Macaroni had been strug-
Cling long and patiently over his APP
plication for war risk insurance. FL
nally he submitted it, duly made out
and signed but lacking the name Of
the person to whom the ten thousand
dollars are to be paid.
Say" demanded the company
clerk, who's the beneficiary? Who
do you want to get the CASH.
My fodder
. All right. But suppose your faith
er dies before you do! Who's second
choice?"
Again Private Macaroni pondered.
Then his face cleared relievedly as he
said:
We'll, in data case, | TAXA da mon
myself"

We regret to learn from the California Oil
Worker, probably printed paper, that Wnslow
is now most solely inhabited by Japanese who
have come in to take the place of strikers on the
railroad Winslow people will regret very much
to learn this, for, if understand the situation
correctly, there are still a number of white peo-
pie living in WinsloW. The Needles Nugget,
which printed the slam on Winslow probably re-
gretted being compelled to do it, but felt that
propaganda must be propped regardless of how
it lies and hurts

A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING

When an elbow, vigorously used in
debate, hits the edge of a plate of
soup, the soup spatters. Also, the ta-
blecloth suffers. 1t happened at Gels
enheimer's Hungarian restaurant on
the East Sidc Giesenheimer was
mad. He strobe up to the offenders
table. "Ain't you ashamed of your
self? Amt you got no honor? Sup
pose you would do such thing at the
Ritz-Carlton or the Biltmore, what
would they say to you?"
What would they say to, me-" re-
peated the owner Of the elbow? "They
would say: If you want to do such a
thing, go down to Giesenheimer's.'

YOU CAN'T BEAT THE GAME

Generally speaking we get about as much in
the statute books as we elect to office, In other
words, you can't get much more out of thing
than you put into it. especially if that thing hap
pens to be coated with politics. Your $500 year
preacher delivers just about that much, and your
$50 month teacher is that kind, while your So
day workman is getting all he is worth. 1t
was pretty wise old bird who first observed
that you can't make silk purse out of sow's
ear Don't let them fool you TO the contrary,

JUST HELPING BILLY EXPLAIN

Billy Spear, the intellectual soak of the Phoe-
nix Republican. has been trying to explain how
one poker hand with four queens lost to royal
flush. Billy should have concluded the play with
the "one-eyed" story where Pete Putt got into a
crooked game with One-Eyed Riley, who got
five aces in the deck at an inopportune time.
Peter ampfied that someone was cheating, and
he didn't want to mention no names, but if he
did it again he shoot his other eye out.
