who defeated Governor Pinchot and
Senator George Wharton Pepper for
the nomination for United States SEN
ator in the primary last May. Shortly
after the primary the governor an
nounced he would not support Mr..
Ware for election as senator, although
he said he would take no active part
in the campaign.
The executive made his accusation
against the machine" in a formal
statement in which he said:
II have just learned that an at
tempt to levy political assessments is
being made by the Republican COM
mittee upon state employees. This is
a contemplate practice to which l
put an end four years ago by refus-
ing to allow the state Republican
committee to have any connection with
my candidacy except upon condition
that it would abandon this indefensi-
BILE custom.
Now that it is being revived by
the organization whose members were
able to raise many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in the spxing pri-
mary, I desire to call the attention of
the public, first to the utter mean
ness or q pracJlCe which takes part
of their scanty wages from char
woman and janitors, and second to
say to the state employees under my
control:
"'You do not owe your positions to
political pull but to your own capac-
ity and good work. You have never,
under this administration, been COM
PEELED to use your positions for po-
litical purposes.
"If, hereafter, the administration
of the state government should re-
lapse to such a condition of despic-
able meannesS that deserving en-
ployes will be removed for failure to
pay political assessments, then Meth
er your present nor your future will
be safe in the public service and you
will be better out of an organization
which has forgotten how to treat de-
cent people decently. l hope that
no-one will yield to this holdup.
IF any employee responsible to
this administration has been con-
cerned in this outrage, and reliable
information is brought to me to that
effort, 1 will remove him at once"

Wells Church Is
255 Years Old

Wells, Oct. 23.-With exercises
largely of a historical nature, the
255th anniversary of the First Con-
gregatienal church here will be OBJ
served beginning Oct 20 and contin-
uing for several days. The church
has interrupted services since it was
established in 1912, having been or
ganized in 1901. Four churches have
stood on the present site The ORR
glnal building was burned in 1892 by
the Indians. 1t is the second oldest
congregation in the State, the Oldest
being in York.
Rev. John Wainwright instituted
the church while an exile from the
Massachusetts Bay Colony. Nearly
opposite the church is the Storer
Garrison, where the Colonists made
successful stand against the rush
of the French and Indians during the
Indian war
Nearly everything connected with
the historic town of Wells emanates
from the old church and during the
many years its walls have echoed the

Sitting Buzze Standing Had

Mr.. Mellon declared, larger share
of manufacturing win be done abroad
where the costs are less" AS an
example, he cited the situation of the
Aluminium Company of America. The
company now supplies it's American
market from domestic plants, al
though it has properties in many
other countries where labor is cheap
er. If the tariff was removed, he ex-
planned, it would be profitable to sup
ply part of the American market
from abroad.
1.-THE effect of removing the tariff
on aluminium" he said, would not be
in the least hurt the Aluminium
Company, but to deprive the United
States of the benefit of enlarged
mandatory here. Less capital will be
invested here and less labor employ
ed.
"The United States Is the largest
customer in the world today. If we
were not prosperous and able to buy,
Europe also would suffer- 1t is in
conceivable to me that American La
Dor will ever consent to the abolition
of protection which would bring the
American standard of living down to
the level of that in Europe. or that
the American farmer could survive If
the enormous consuming power of the
people in this country was curtailed
and his market at home destroyed"
The fact which gave rise to the
plea for the removal of restrictions
upon Euopean trade" stating that
tariff barriers, special licenses and
prohibitions imposed in Europe since
the war interfere with international
! trade and prevent it flowing in natur-
al channels, and should be removed"
Mr.. Mellon declared, SIS the breakup
of the old political units and the re-
arrangement of the continent along
ethical and not commercial lines"
THE situation in Europe since the
war is different from the situation in
America" he continued 1.-The two
would only become comparable if we
should consider each of the 4S states
separate nation. each having its
own tariff, it's own railroads, its own
currency and its own language. Under
, such conditions the industrial power
of the United States must and would
end"
Like standards of living prevail in
all of the states of this country and
virtually all of the European nations
, have similar standards, he pointed
out. but the standards of America and
Europe differ widely and unless we
are willing to bring our standard in
America down to the level of that of
Europe, we cannot consider a change
in our tariff, however desirable such
a change may seem to Europe.
Our tariff policy has been mainly
responsible for the development of
manufacturing in America he as
serted. "Our tariff policy has brought
to labor the highest real wages in
history. The development of manu-
featuring has been accompanied by
improved methods and quantity pro-
duction and we have been able to
make and distribute at a relatively
low price, considering the high cost
of labor. In many lines we more than
meet foreign competition with it's low
labor costs.
I'm turn, high wages have created
a great consuming population which
has been the principal factor in our
reaching quantity production and
thus low costs A study of the in
dustries in this country shows very
small margin Of profit per unit and

Mellon said in a statement which

celved his approval.
What the plea of the hankers
seeks TO accomplish in it's final analv-
SIS he declared, lis. not a change
IN the world but to bring about in
europe condition similar to that in
the United States. 1t is not criticism
OF US, but emulation"
A cut in the American tariff would
reduce rather than increase ITnitad
States purchases abroad, the Secre-
tary argued in a lengthy defense of
the present tariff. for it will occasion
unemployment here and reduce orr
purchasing power; will diminish this
countrys consumption of commodities
ana cause large SURPRISES of the
WORLDS principal products"
IT would not enable foreign conn
tries TO sell more in American mar
kets, but would prevent them from
seihng as much" he went on. IT
would not help certain foreign ma
TONS to recover from losses occasion
ed by the war, but would retard such
recovery"
