CLIPPED COMMENT
Reds in Britain

The British have had a theory that
the way to handle the agitatOr, the
anarchist and the revolutionary was
to make him welcome in Britain and
let him talk his head off in Hyde
park. This worked very well for a
long time. The fugitive red from
the continent found an asylum there,
and so long as he wished he stayed.
The bolshevists, however, sadly
cracked that comfortable theory.
They came and they talked and then
sought to translate talk into crimes
against the peace and dignity of the
empire and it's institutions. Great
Britain has been deporting a good
many of these firebrands and bar
ring others from her shores. The
British played with red fire under
Lloyd George and, later under Ram
say Macdonald, and like the French
and every other people who have
done so, got their fingers burned.
They are now thinking of safety
barrier" against imported sedition.
Once burned, both the British and
the French are now twice shy

LOWERING OUR TARIFF

nC 0u55CDIAOA u A@A@
Stamp, one of the British members
of the Dawes commission, that Am
erica should lower its tariff so that
Germany can sell us cheap goods
and make money to pay its repara-
tions to France, Belgium and Brit
ain, has certainly gotten rise from
the press in the United States, but
not the kind of a rise that Sir
Joshua would like to have obtained.
Even many of the leading newspa-
pers which are usually Independent
when the consideration of the tariff
is concerned, are taking pleasure in
taking a fall out of Sir Joshua's
startling suggestion.
The eminent Briton's suggestion
has undoubtedly succeeded in solid
flying tariff sentiment in the Uni
ted States. The Chicago Tribune de-
clares that the tariff is working
splendidly, producing revenue, and
reducing direct taxation. The Tri-
bune adds that the suggestion that
America reduce it's tariff so that
Germany can pay reparations to the
allies is beyond patience"
Says the Tribune: "In foreign
conception the United States is a
woodlot in which any country may
cut wood. Americans are aborigines
who are in luck if they are left the
acorns. China has to fix it's tariff as
the alien powers say. Now we are to
be the white China and fix our tariff
for European revenue"
The Washington Star, Independent,
declares that it is not at all sure
that all the money Europe made by
shipping us cheap goods would be
used for reparations and debt pay
ment.
Says the Star: eff Europe can be-
come richer through a reduction of
the American protective tariff it is
likely that America will become
poorer. For not all the money that
the European manufacturers and
traders make through selling their
goods in America will come back to
this country in the form Of debt pay
ments, thereby reducing Americas
own war debt and American taxes.
An appreciable share of these earn
ings will stick fast to the Golfers Of
Europeans.
"The American consumer is doing
pretty we'll just now. Wages are
good and employment is not lack
ing. + But suppose the tariff
is lowered and cheaper European
goods are permitted to flood the
country. Where then will the con-
sumers, the farmers, the manufac-
turers find themselves? Of what
avail if prices are cheap, if they
have little money to purchase? The
answer is that it is far better to
protect American markets, which
after all consume the heaviest pro-
portion of American production,
than to turn those markets over
to the cheap goods of the foreigner,
with a consequent reduction OF
Americas own output"

WHEN GOVERNMENT SAVES


Far from hurting business, the
governments economy policy has
been of the utmost advantage to
business" says the New York Sun.
"It has already resulted in a reduc-
tion of several hundred million dol
lars a year in federal taxes; it prom
ises to bring about a tax reduction
of $500, 900 900 or $9OO,OOO,OOO more
next year.
"When the government saves mon
ev if does not mean that the money
is not spent. What it does mean IS
that. instead of being spent by OIL
cials to keep unnecessary bureau
Gratis in unproductive jobs, the mon
ev is left in the hands of the man
who earns it, and he may declue
himself how it shall be spent.
The President will find the people
bebind him in his determination to
administer national affairs in an
economical and business like man
ner. State officials can follow the
lead of the President.

Ruling of Judge
May Mean "Dry
Zone" Extension

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Cop
portunity for the United States gov
ernment to extend greatly the "dry
zone' off the American coast,
created by the British American
liquor treaty, was seen today in a
decision handed down by Federal
Judge John S. Partridge
Ruling in the case of the seized
rum ship Quadra, Canadian YES
sci, Judge Partridge interpreted the
clause in the treaty permitting a
seizure of British vessels within one
hours steaming by the patrol boat
making the seizure and not by the
seized ships.
Followers of such matters declared
that if the ruling were sustained in
higher courts there would be moth
ing to prevent the government build
ing speedy patrol craft which could
cover 20 to 30 knots in an hour and
greatly extend the zone in which
seizures could be made.
Judge Partridge, in his ruling
held that the Quadra's seizure was
entirely legal.

Want Children
OF Farm Free
From Measure

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Jan. g.
Increased opposition of the farming
element to the child labor amend
ment appeared at the capitol today
when Senator A. Burlingame john
son announced the legislators from
the rural districts would seek q re-
wording of the amendment.
Nothing of importance was forth
coming in either of the short ses-
sions of the two houses, which met
shortly after 10 a. m. and adjourned
after disposing of minor business
matters. The assembly was in ses-
sion only ten minutes.
The senate, however, waited for
n report of the attache committee
before adjournment.
A joint resolution calling on the
California delegation at Washington
to see that no legislation against
child labor is passed unless it con-
tains clauses exempting the children
of farmers, will be introduced by
johnson, he said 1.-The farmers
dIt becuHiIuS 6tidi Iutd DIT tHt pOosiDio
ratification of the amendment as
it stands now,' Senator johnson
told the United Press.
While they have had assurance
from every side that the amendment
was never intended to include farm
labor, they base their apprehension
-on the fact that motion to include
a clause to that effect when the
amendment went before the senate
was voted down. -
Until informed by the governor
that such an amendment is awaiting
ratification of this state, nothing
can be done about the measure in
either of the two houses.
1t is believed the governors will
give. this official announcement at
the joint session which is due to
meet Wednesday at'noon to hear the
biennial message.

holland FUNERAL
ARRANCEM ENTS
ARE INCOMPLETE

Arrangements for the funeral of
Jimmy holland, who died in San
Diego following an automobile acci-
dent Sunday night, are still incom.
plete, owing to the uncertainty of
the time for the coroner s inquest.
Due to the condition of Mrs. Soma
Miller, an occupant of the ear which
collided with Noland s, who is con.
fined in Il San Diego hospital, the
time of the inquest has not been
set, but it is expected it will be
held tomorrow.
The executive committee of Boyce
Aten Post, American Legion, met
last night with officers of the Elks
lodge, to arrange for the funeral
which will be in charge of these or
ganizations of which Noland was
a member. The American Legion
will have charge of the military fun
eral and it is expected the Elks will
conduct their funeral ritual.
IN case the inquest is held tomor
row, it is believed the funeral will
be held here Friday afternoon.
Many expressions of sorrow were
heard yesterday when the news of
Jimmy's death became generally
known and all expressed regret at
his sudden and untimely death.
Hopes expressed early in the day
that there had been q mistake in
names were broken when word of
positive Identification of the body
was received here.

by squad of deputy sheriffs to

last night.
Upon arrival of the officers, sew
cral ranchers told of having seen
the negro, who was said to have
been walking along the road with
a drawn revolver. Nobody had seen
fit to follow him however, and
though the Officers picked up "a
tr;,il of footprints, it later disap-
peared and tracking it became i'm
possible. AL
Search of the surrounding coun-
try failed to reveal any trace of
the negro and the officers returned

by bringing present waste lands

CASES HANDLED
IN TOWN COURT
DOUBLE in 1924

Total fines for December in the
FL Centre town court, showed a
falling off from the total of the
previous month, only 1886 being
collected during Dec gambler, against
$1,O96 in November. There were l2i
criminal eases, including traffic
violations. bought before the court,
and 33 civil actions. Seven of the
. criminal cases required tria IS,
the others being merely hearings at
which the defendants pleaded gull
ty.
The total of fines and fees dur
ing December was 1856, against
$l,l34 in November.
Although December showed a de-
cline in the business of the court,
the total sum turned over to the
county for the year was brought
past the $4,000 mark, by $34.
During the IL months just past,
tho high point of fines and fees
was reached during June when it
amounted to $I6s6.50. The low
point was reached in September,
when ony $3.50 was collected. The
average for the Il months was
1886 per month.
Over twice as many cases were
handled during 1924 as in 1923,
Judge Mayfield said, this being
due to some extent to the increase
in traffic arrests, but at the same
time there was considerable increase
in petty crime, which is handled
by the justice court.
