Anyone who will take the trouble
to look at the tariff schedules will
see that practically everything the
farmer buys, including breeding
animals. barbed wire, binding Irvine,
fertilizers, cultivators, harvesters,
rakes, leather, leather gloves and
harness, reapers and all manner of
supplies including agricultural i'm
plements, are on the free list, while
everything he raises and sells such
as apples, butter, beans, corn. eggs,
grapes, horses, prunes, raisins,
sugar, sheep, grains, peaches, onions,
poultry, honey, lard and scores of
farm products aid animals are on
the protected list
The mere fact that any candidate
for public office, regardless of the
party with which he is affiliated,
should make absolutely misleading
statements on the tariff question is
grounds for questioning his ability
as an executive in public office. The
tariff as it exists today is a matter of
fact and public record and there is
no excuse for any man making a
misstatement regarding same. The
tariff is purely business PROPOSE
ton and should not be used as We
hicle for securing votes for any
party. Just so long as politicians
can keep the people in ignorance re-
garding the tariff question, just so
long will they be able to upset bust
ness stability by using the tariff
question as a vehicle for gaining
their own selfish ends, namely votes.
The people are coming to under
stand that the tariff is for two prim-
airy purposes, namely, to protect
American labor and uphold Ameri-
can standards of living, and, second
ly, to raise revenue for the govern
ment which, if not collected from
foreign products shipped in here in
competition with home manufact-
ured articles, would have to be
raised by additional taxes on Ameri-
can property and incomes.
Let the people think of these fun
damental facts when considering the
tariff question.

FOREIGN MARKETS FOR
AMERICAN PRODUCTS.

According to statistics recently
published from reports OF the de-
partment of commerce exports fol-
the 1924 period show $165, 100000
increase, animal products increasing
slightly, and some increases in flour
and other agricultural items, with a
marked increase in fruits, nuts and
vegetables. The total of exports
was $3,1O5, 100000, the favorable
balance being $423,O00,00O, or an
average of SAT, 100000 a month. A
striking characteristic of the trade
was that while imports of manufac-
lures ready for consumption &C
counted for about 20 per cent of the
total, exports of those products made
up Al per cent of the total sales
abroad, and it is on this class of
goods that the greatest amount of
time, labor, and capital are expend-
ed. This means that the American
laborer, manufacturer, miner, and
producers generally of the raw ma
terials get a chance at those materi-
ais all the way up the line, every
man taking profit in wages or
sales in his contribution to the work
represented by the finished materi-
ais. This, of course, is a very salts
factory condition of affairs. The
tendency under free trade is for
foreign capital, labor, etc., to work
up crude materials purchased from
us or elsewhere, and sell them in
the American market, displacing
domestic wares, thereby curtailing
our own activities
A steady increase has been record
ed in our exports to Europe, notably
to Germany, France, Italy, Spain,
Russia, and the Netherlands Sales
to South America increased, particu-
larly to Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Uru-
quay, and Venezuela, with decreases
to Argentina and Chile. There was
a large increase in sales to Asia,
every country listed being better
purchaser this year than last. To
the African countries sales increased
s5,000,000.
The department of commerce an
nounces that 1.-THE expansion was the
largest over the pre-war average of
any country in the world" and that
'the figures signified that>the United
States is taking a larger position in
the worlds foreign trade and is
gaining a greater portion of new
trade than any other nation"
Candidates opposed to President
Coolidge have been making vague
promises to agriculture and indus
Try of better foreign markets. 1--WE
propose to search diligently for
means to extend our trade with |
other nations" said one recently at
Des Moines. But what need of
promises when we now have per-
torrance twice as great as in pre-
war days? And why authorize some
other party to search diligently for
what the Republican party has al
'eady found?

VOTERS SHOULD NOT
BE MISLED.

Statements made by the LaFoll-
cite agitators calculated to create
support for their candidate by work
ing upon the prejudices Of the peo-
pie, will not stand analysis based
upon the records. Take for in
stance the statement, made by some
speakers campaigning through the
agricultural sections, that the pres
ent Republican tariff raises the price
of everything the farmer buys and
gives him no protection on what he
sells.

IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE
PROFESSIONAL AGTTATORS.

The Inconsistency of that type of
political agitator, who without any
constructive program to offer con-
tents himself with criticisms of ex-
listing conditions and whose only ar
gument Is for a change, without any
idea Of what he wishes to change to,
is again illustrated in the manner in
which the McKaig type of Progress
ives in Idaho are issuing TRADES
against the supreme court of the
state for its decisions in unfolding
the constitution and legislative pro-
vision that a candidates name may
appear on the official ballot only
once.
The La Toilette platform and cam
paign is based upon objection to the
courts overruling the acts of legis-
lative bodies and now when the su-
preme. court uphOlds the act of the
legislative body the followers of La
Toilette in Idaho are criticising the
court for doing that. 1t is another
example of being damned if they
do, and damned If they don't" Re-
ferring to the attitude of McKaig and
his followers in Idaho, the Boise
Statesman says:
IdahO's supreme court, undivided
and with one voice, uphOlds the Ida
no legislature by approving as con-
stitutional and binding the statutory
provision that a candidates name
may appear only once on the ballot.
This should be an action most
pleasing to one Robert NJ La Foil
cite who has been aiming his thun-
ders at supreme courts because they
have dared, now and then, and
sometimes by bare majorities, to
override the statutes of legislature
and congresses. He proposes to
take away from such courts their
right to annul legislative acts leav-
ing them only the right to do what
the Idaho supreme court has just
done, approve them.
La Toilette should be happy, but
how is it that the accepted supreme |
pontiff of La Follettism in Idaho |
bursts out against so satisfying a |
decision?
La Toilette thinks supreme courts
should never override the wishes of |
the people as expressed in their
proper legislatures; McKaig is wall
ing because supreme court has
"thwarted' the wishes of 50 per
cent of the voters of the state as ex-
pressed in party conventions. Nc
Kaig says the corut had no right to
stand by the legislature because,
very obviously, the people had
spoken differently in conventions.
This is most remarkable posi-
ton, not because it differs so much
with La Follette's idea that }egis-
ature should be supreme and unim
peachable but because this man Nc
Kaig, with his followers and his
has repeatedly insisted
hat party conventions are nothing
at all, that they express none of the
wishes of the people but are bossed,
corrupt and unrepresentative
To have him credit them with ex-
truly the wishes of 95 per
cent of the people while the legisla-
.ure, made up of men elected at his
beloved direct primaries, is credited
With "thwarting" their wishes by
hat statute now approved by the
court, is almost too much.
Can it be that McKaig believes in
whatever machinery happens to be
Useful to him at the moment, the
iirect primary when it will discon-
,ert his political enemies, the con- !
Tentions when they will strengthen

PRICES WILL RISE
AGAIN THIS YEAR,
SAYS PROF. HANEY
Sharp Break In Upward Revi-
sion Predicted to Occur
in 1925.
BY DIR. L. II. HANEY
Director Bureau Business Research.
New York University.


NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The ques-
ton now uppermost among business
analists is, what are commodity prices
going to do? The answer to the
question has great practical impor-
lance, for If prices are going to rise
now is the time to buy, and vice
versa.
During the last three months there
has been very little change in thu
average of wholesale prices. the ups
| in commodities being just about OF
set by the downs on the others. The
indexes, while declining slightly dur.
ing December, still show gains in com
parison with the low point reached
last September.
In my opinion. Observers are wrong,
and I have pretty conclusive reasons.
In the first place. 1t is fact that
about the only thing that can cause a
change in the general level OF all
prices Is a change in the supply OF
money in relations to the supply Of
commodities.
At the present time the supply OF
money and credit is growing larger
while the supply OF commodities is de
creaslng.
As a result. there must oe a ten
dency for money TO become worth less
and a tendency for commodities TO be-
come worth more in terms OF money.
Looking at the subject in another
way. it may be said that the demand
for commodities in general is increas-
ing. The practical man" says that
Inventories are small, consumers have
been economizing, and. since their
purchasing power is high, they must
buy.
When you consider the various
groups of commodities separately, the
argument is strengthened. Some have
undergone a long downward price
revision and are plainly at bottom
levels. as are coal. oil, hides and
leather, chemicals, hogs and pork.
The most probable outcome is a
rather stable level of average prices
for a month or two more. Then a
moderate rise, followed probably by
some sharp gains. Finally will come
a sharp break--say some time in
1925.
Then, will begin the long downward
tendency that must come with the
world reimbursement after war infia-
ton. But that is a long way ahead
and will be bothering us moro Ave
years from now.

HOME BUILDING
URGE INCREASES

In the winter the average person
realizes the satisfaction of owning his
home more than at any other season
of the year. So 1t is at this season
that the man renting feels the urge
to own q home as soon as possible.
No longer is it necessary to have
large amount of cash on hand to
build. If one owns a lot 1t is possible
to have a home constructed and to
pay for the house in easy monthly
payments.
Floyed Peterman, 500 Massachusetts
Ave-, makes a speciality Of building
modest-prtced homes OF four and five
rooms, furnishing all of the money
necessary for building, this amount
to be paid back to him in easy month
ly payments, like rent.
Mr.. Peterman's business has grown
very rapidly and this year he has
already contracted to put up large
number of houses. While he takes
the prospective owners ideas into the
corporation Of the plans for the house,
all are built substantially and planned
SO as to be as convenient as possible.

URIED wives do not always
X stay in their tombs.
That you discover in the
land of fiction or rather in James
Branch Cabell's The High Place" a
comedy of disenchantment.
The delicious idea Of the ghosts OF
the wives of a sort of Bluebeard who
places his wives after they had died
under strange conditions in their
tombs instead of a secret closet, re-
turning to warn the fifth wife that she
soon would occupy a place near them
soon, is found in THE High Place"
Wives generally my idea is based
upon the book and not real life) have
the tendency to talk a great deal and
while the fifth wife Of Flcrian is Wis
iting with the ghosts Of her four
predecessors, there is much talking.
At times the ghosts were rather
''catty."
You will bump up against this gor-
geous satire in Cabell's latest literary
contribution. I do not consider THE
High Place" an exponent of the dirt
literature Of the day because it is too
beautifully written.
