woI.d find the prospect. of constant
changing of tariff schedules a reassur-
ing one. = It would, be like cutting of
the dogs tail by inches in. order to save
him pain, SO closely is the tariff in
terwoven into the whole texture Of our
economic life that no material change
could be made without recessitating far
reaching readjustments IN business in
anticipation of such a change. In the
second place the tariff can never be
taken entirely out of politics so. long
as Congress must legislate on the SUBJ
ject, and authority to legislate, of course,
must always reside in Congress. While
the Tariff Commission might report the
facts directly to Congress, after thst
has been done it is Congress who will
decide how the tariff will be revised,
and not any subordinate board or COM
mission. = sS.

subject.
Our tariff policy has been largely

policy and our immigration policy have,
brought to labor the highest real wages
in its history We have found that by
the use off labor saving machinery and
by manufacturing In quantity we can
increase the productive capacity per
capita of labor and also eliminate waste.
In this way we can pay high wages and
still reduce costs, SO that the finished
products are priced low enough to stim-
ulate further consumption. High wages,
in turn, have raised the country's pur-
chasing power, and as a result we have
today a domestic market of more than
1l5,000,0 900 people of great consumption
capacity. In this market lies the in.

be found of increasing the effective
profit from farming operations for the
producer without making prices so high

a way of working out solution for the

The Government OF the United,
States is the greatest business enterprise
in the world. It is infinitely complex
both In its effect on the individual lives
Of its citizens and in its relations to
those great economic forces by which
: the average mans welfare is greatly af-
fected. At the head of that business
! want to see a man of ability, who
Is thoroughly familiar with all of its
phases; want to see man who un-
derStandS these economic forces with
which he must deal and, lastly, I want
him to be a man who has a feeling for
and sympathy with the conditions un-
der which the average man and woman
must live, be it in the city, the small
town or on the farm. Herbert Hoover
measures up to these qualifications. The
Gofernmerit will be safe in his hands.
