for business and railroad earnings in

in our territory, but I believe this is
generally true over the country. The

4 Conflict Of Tariff Systems.
tNew York World.)

(New York Word)
 President Coolidge has indicated to Washing ton correspondents that he feels keenly hurt at the attitude of the French Government in the present tarn controversy. Of course, it would be agreeable 10 if France serc to accept our Doint- Of view and discard her tested tariff pol : cles, and it would be equally agreeable to France iif VIC were to see the situation she does and take an attitude in conformity With her prac. ticea The cbstaele to ndsrstand.ng les in the wholly different tariff systems of the twc countries.
 France has bargaining tarin, with tive scales of dnties- a maximum and mn mum The maximum, general, rates imposed the products of countries with which France ha ino reciprocal trade agreements. The min nun rates are granted in return for tarr fayors bS lctaer countries Thus in the recent Franco German reciprocity treaty France gave Germany the benefit of low rates machinery. eectrea supplies and chemicals and Germany reeiprocated hy granting France special rates wines. soaps pei fumes and textiles
 The present American Tariff Law makes no provision for such reciprocity. Ii sets up : uniform schedule of rates for all countries and prescribes penalties when a country attempt. dunping unfair discrimination against Am erican trade. It is not bargaining but fight ing tariff. Now, France has applied her max mum schedule of duties to American imports be cause have trade treaty with her. as Ger many has. and our Government has taken tht position that the giving of lower rates to Ger many than to inc United States is unfair dis elimination France has replied that we can get the sort of favors given to Germany if we willing to pay for them
 That is the nub of the controversy Our tariff policy prevents our dealing with France on such terms In principle, policy of equal treatment for all the world has much to commend it, but in practice it has put ns in the pos ton of demanding from each nation all tho favors which it bestows others while offer no equivalent in return. That is our present attitude toward France. The whole trouble lies in the difference between bargaining and 2 fighting tariff Each country has right tc choose it's system and there is no reason why either should feel keenly hurt if the other refuses to discard it's preferred method

Where to Prospect?
Engineering and Mining Journal.

Engineering and Mining Journal)
 Where to prospect is pertinent question, the answer to which is based largely upon opinion; but recent developments indicate that prospect ing districts is of increasing importance, exempli- fled by the discovery of the North Lily orebody within the heart of the Tntic district and of the Campbell orebody in the Junction Mine, at War ren, Arizona MT. F. w. Bradley has reoponed the old Sulphur Banks quicksilver deposit and likewise has been successful in discovering an orebody in the Star Mine the Morning Mine lat Mullan, Idaho and an important deposit in the Sudbury district. The United Verde Company has reopened prospect in the Oatman district Utah Copper is Investigating areas in Bingham Canyon. The Phelps Dodge Company is pros |pecting from the Warren shaft and the United Verde Extension is doing likewise in the Gypsy Queen shaft, Bsbee district Calumet Arizona is sponsoring an exploration in the Verde Gen. ral in the Jerome district Tonopah and Lead vile have extended their life and mineral areas lby persistent exploration. Other examples could be mentioned. but further evidence is needed to emphasize the importance of existing mining districts as significant for exploration. Not all exploration in these districts can be success full and many old districts will never be revived; but the possibility of successful exploration is all the greater if thorough geological studies are made in advance. That new mining districts Will be discovered is foregone conclusion; but the intensive searching that has taken place in the last seventy-fve years restricts the scope of such discovery. Likewise the repeated examination of known prospects has limited the possibility of discovery from surface showings the mining geoIogist must decide if they warrant explora- ltion The detailed work done on outcrops and the availability of electrical methods for pre- lminary work extend the scope for geological Investigation Cooperation between the mining geoogist and the mining company continue to be essential.

the IS fee last year paid by each team
was not sufficient to secure first-class
officials for all games. A proposal to
raise the fee to SIS or $40 will be put
before the organization this Fall, with
the aim of having the best officials

According to present plans, the

NEW YORK, September 26.-The

Yale, Harvard Princeton, Dart.
mouth and other big teams of the
East will step out for test games and
some of them have drawn opponents
who may force the favorites to employ
all their power and strategy to get a
winning start.
Harvard meets the University of
Vermont and Coach Horween will en-
deavor to get a line on the men who
have been given their rankings, based
on showings in the practice sessions.
Harvard engages Purdue in the first
big intersectional game of the year.
Yale, Getting ready for season
that includes games with Brown,
Army, Dartmouth. Princeton and
Harvard, opposes Bowdoin next Satur-
day. Tad Jones is grooming much
reserve material to bolster up the
positions left vacant by graduations.
Princeton goes into the Amherst
game without Jack Slagle and there
are literally hosts who would argue
that the Tigers chances rest upon
the development of a new team, be.
cause of that loss.
Army tackles Detroit University at
West Point. The Cadets look for stiff
opposition. Coach "Biff" Jones'
eleven did not measure up to expecta-
tions last Saturday after it had made
q fine start in the opening period.
Navy engages Davis and Elkins.
The Midshipmen have a good team
ready and will use Saturdays game
as a conditioner for the intersectional
tangIe the following week, a Missouri
Valley member-Drake.

there were no upsets; the one sur
prise in the East was Franklin and

that Wake Forest again trimmed
the TarheelS. making something like
four consecutive years that it has
captured the opening game at Chapel
! Hill. This time, though, the game
| must have been real struggle, and
all the harder for North Carolina
to lose. Wake Forest won, by one
point, the score being to s.
The game really is too hard for Caro-
lima to play in its opening. However,
the Chapel Hill people feel they
ought to meet Wake Forest and the
first date is about the only one on
the schedule they have been able to
provide. If Wake Forest is going to
continue as strong as it has been for
the last few seasons and is going
to make such an effort to beat Car
DINA. then the Tarheels ought to move
it further on in the schedule.
William and Mary was expected to
have a strong team, and if ii has,
then Cathonc University's victory by
II to 0 is good indication that the
local school will be formida bic
opponent for all the teams it is to
meet. 1t was freely predicted by
BrooklandeIS all Summer that their
team this year would be the best in
the history of the school, as the team
last season was strong.
In the game at William and Mary
it was Foley who distinguished him.
self for c. u. and made good all the
many compliments he has been paid.
Foley really is one Of the best quar-
terbacks in the section.
Georgetown had the kind of game
everybody expected. The Blue and
Gray was entirely too strong for the
school it faced, and the contest was
a procession from one end of the field
to the other. Lenoir- Rhyme was a
good high school team and not much
more than that. The Blue and Gray
ran up points about as it pleased, and
probably could have scored more if it
had so desired. The visiting team
was not strong enough to give George
town the kind of workout it really
needed. Coach Little would have been
much more pleased il his team had
been against an opponent that it could
have defeated by about three touch
downs, and had to work to do that.
Virginia two years ago had a ter.
rible time with Hampden-S Sidney, and
odluIudN pi OptDIE HSuieu II was III
for another such game when the
visitors scored a touchdown before
Virginia had even got started. After
that, though. the Cavaliers showed
that class will tell and won by big
margin. The first touchdown was the
only score that Hampden-Sidney could
get.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Wash
ington and Lee and Virginia Military
Institute won their games by good
margins. all showing an unexpected
strength. v. M. rs game against
Richmond must have been especially
good.
