The last year has seen consid-

can probably be produced at less

domestic manufacturer than the
foreign manufacturer. In one
case our country would have the
farmer; in the other it would have
the farmer and the manufacturer.
Assuming that Europe would have
more money il it sold us larger
amounts of merchandise, it is not
certain it would consume more
food, or, If It did, that its pur-
chases would be made in this
country. Undoubtedly it would re-
sort to the cheapest market, which
is by no means ours. The largest
and best and most profitable mar
ket for the farmer in the world
is our own domestic market. Any
great increase in manufactured
imports means the closing of our
own plants. Nothing could be
worse for agriculture.
Probably no one expects ma.
terial reduction in the rates on
manufactures while maintaining
the rates on agriculture. A ma
terial reduction in either would
be disastrous to the farmer. 1t
would mean a general shrinkage
of values, a deflation of prices, a
reduction of wages, a general de-
preston carrying our people down
to the low standard of living in
our competing countries. 1t is OBJ
vious that this would not improve
but destroy our market for i'm
ports, which is best served by
maintaining our present high pur-
chasing power under which in the
past five years imports have in
creased 63 per cent.
The Washington times., 1927-12-06
Hits Price-Fixing and Subsidy

The past year has seen a
marked improvement in the gen.
eral condition of agriculture. Pro-
duction is better balanced and
without acute shortage or heavy
surplus. Costs have been reduced
and the average output of the
worker increased. The level of
farm prices has risen, while 9TH
ers have fallen, so that the pur.
chasing power of the farmer is
approaching a normal figure.
The individual farmer is entitled
to great credit for the progress
made since 1921. He has ad.
justed his production and through
cooperative organizations and
other methods improved his mar
keting. He is using authenti-
Gated facts and employing sound

any permanent value to nir which
does not leave him standing on his

Saturation Point
In the past the Government has
spent vast sums to bring land un.
der cultivation. It is apparent that
this has reached temporarily the
saturation point. We have had a
surplus of production and a poor
market for land, which has only
lately shown signs OF improve.

presented for solution is one of
dealing with a surplus of produc-
ton. 1t is useless to propose a
temporary expedient. What 10
needed is permanency and stability.

The present tariff rates supply
the National Treasury with we'll
over $500, 900, 900 of annual reve
nue.. Yet, about IS per cent OF
our imports come in duty free.
OF the remaining IS per cent of
imports on which duties are laid
about % per cent consists of lux

and the balance of about IL per
cent. amounting to around $780,

lures and merchandise. AS no
one is advocating any material re-
duction in the rates on agricul-
ture and luxuries, it is only the
comparatively small amount of
about $3.50, 900 Of other i'm
ports that are really considered
in any discussion of reducing tar

seriously to depress many lines

it is of small Importance when

1t Is Gifted stated that a reduc-
ton of tariff rates on industry
would benefit agriculture. It
would be interesting to know to
what commodities it is thought
this could be applied. Everything
the farmer uses in farming is al
ready on the free list. Nearly
everything he sells is protected.

Self Government in PHILIPPINES

Conditions in the Philippine
Islands have been steadily i'm.
proved. Contentment and good
order prevail. Roads, irrigation
works, harbor improvements. and
public buildings are being con.
structed. Public education and
sanitation have been advanced.
The government is in a sound
financial condition, These imme-
date results were especially due
to the administration of Gov.
Gen. Leonard Wood. The six
years of his governorship marked
a distinct improvement in the
islands and rank as one of the
outstanding accomplishments of
this distinguished man. His death
is loss to the Nation and the
islands.
Greater progress could be made,
more efficiency could be put into
administration, if the Congress
would undertake to expend,
through it's appropriating power,
all or a part of the customs
revenues which are now turned
over to the Philippine treasury.
The powers of the auditor of the
islands also need revision and
Qualification. The government of
the islands is about SO per cent
in the hands of the Filipinos.
An extension of the policy of
government will be FASTENED
by the demonstration on their
part of their desire and their
ability to carry out cordially and
efficiently the provisions Of the
organic law enacted by the Con.
gress. for the government of the
islands. It would be we'll for a
committee of the Congress to
visit the islands every two years.

LIMIT PLACED ON
TAX REDUCTION

at war, some people are disposed
to forget that our war debt still
remains. The nation must make
financial sacrifices, accompanied
by a stern self-denial in public ex-
penditures, until we have con.
quered the disabilities of our pub
lie finance. While our obligation
to veterans and dependents is
large and continuing, the heavier
burden of the national debt is be-
ing steadily eliminated. At the
end of this fiscal year 1t will be
reduced from about $26, 900 900 900
to about $17,975, 100000. Annual
interest, including war savings,
will have been reduced from ST.
055 200, 900 to $3.50, 600, 900. The sac
rifices Of the people, the economy
OF the Government, are showing
remarkable results. They should
be continued for the purpose of re-
lieving the nation of the burden of
interest and debt and releasing
revenue for internal improvements
and national development.
Not only the amount, but the
rate, of Government interest has
been reduced. Callable bonds have
been refunded and paid, so that
during this year the average rate
of interest on the present public
debt for the first time fell below
a per cent. Keeping the credit of
the nation high is tremendously
profitable operation.

Attacks Selfish Who Dodge Taxes

The immediate fruit of economy
and the retirement of the. public
debt is. tax reduction. The annual
saving in interest between 1926
and 1929 is 1912 100000. Without
this no bill to relieve the tax
payers would be worth proposing.
Inc three measures already en-
nues where they are not oppressive.
Exemptions have been increased
until 115,O00,0OO people make but

should be mainly for the purpose
of removing inequalities. The
Secretary of the Treasury has
