WASHINGTON, March THE
two-trouser suit is one Of the evil
influences with which Americas
present-day textile industry is COM
PEELED to contend, as recently COM
planned by witnesses before con-
gress' tariff experts-the ways and
means committee of the house of
representatives.
Twin trousers, the wooden goods
manufacturers representatives ex-
planned, undoubtedly do extend the
life span of a suit of clothes.
True, it takes more wool to make
two pairs than 1t takes to make one,
but in the long run the wearer has
to have two pairs anyway; by get
ting them both at once, to match
the same coat and vest, he is tempt
ed to make the coat and vest last
longer than he otherwise would
and, tempted, frequently he falls.
The textile folk did not ask pro-
hibition Of two-trouser suits. They
admitted it would be hard to pre-
vent the bootlegging of extra pairs.
They did strongly urge a higher
tariff on WOODEN goods.
The idea is not to keep the two
trouser addict from satisfying his
craving, but to make his two pairs
of trousers cost him enough more,
in proportion, to offset the saving
on his coat and vest.
Thus it will be seen that a ses-
sion of the house ways and means
committee, which Is getting ready to
introduce our new tariff bill soon
after MI. Hoover becomes president,
is nat the dull. prosy proceeding
that the uninitiated might imagine.
1t has plenty Of high lights.
For example, who would suppose
that a big row could be developed
over the import tax on carillons?
Yet just such a row did develop.

again, shook it formally, and went
away.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
Secret Tariff Making

The republican members of the ways and means
committee Of the national house of representatives
have served notice that the old secret method for
consideration Of proposed changes in the tariff rates
will be adhered to in the formulation of the next
tariff bill.
At a meeting Of the ways and means committee
friday notice was served by the republican members
that the democratic members would be excluded from
the executive deliberations Of the subcommittee
considering various tariff schedules.
The agricultural interests Of the country will re
ceive this decision With considerable apprehension as
to what 1t signifies for the farming industry. 1t IS
a we'll know fact that the majority Of republican
members Of the committee are ardent advocates OF
high protection for all other industries but inclined
to be lukewarm toward agriculture; whereas the DEM
ocratic members are equally determined IN their po-
sition with respect to equalizing tariff benefits, as
surfing agriculture the same advantages as other in
dustries.
Throughout the Northwest republican leaders dur
ing the recent campaign attacked the practice OF
"star chamber" sessions in connection with tariff re-
vision. They asserted that every interest of the
country demanded that all hearings and delibera-
lions be open to the public; that the farm interests
have the same opportunity to be heard as others
Several republican candidates for congress made this
an issue in their campaigns, and received the sup
port Of the farmers.
It is true that the deliberations Of committees can
not always be made public; that occasionally Such
publicity would be in opposition to public policy; but
that certainly cannot apply to committee hearings or
deliberations ON tariff rates. If there is any one thing
In connection with the national government That
should be open to the public it is III the making OF a
tariff, and so long as publicity IS refused and minority
members excluded, the tariff will continue TO a mere
tumble Of inequalities designed to benefit the rev
and a burden upon the masses.
It Is certain that the agricultural interests have
nothing to conceal in connection with tariff revision,
and no other interest asking for protection should
have. If they have a worthy cause, there should DC
no hesitancy in s~pprising the public OF the 1act' Il
#. K not worthy the committee should apply the coup
dc grace il open session.

was objected to by certain churches
and colleges which want to install

as none r made in America, there
is not the dull, proSy proceeding
much.
BY the very next train delegations
of bell founders began to arrive, to
protest that they could furnish ca
rillons by the gross if congress would
bar foreign competition out.
The ways and means committee
is a big body-tWenty-five members.
It's committee room. in the house of
representatives office building, is
nearly as imposing as the supreme
court chamber.
Right there the resemblance ends.

fights like cats and dogs.
To Chairmn Willis G.. Hawley of
Oregon and Representative Allen T.
TreadWay of Massachusetts, for in
stance, the tariff is a well-night di-
vine ~inctitution. 1t is a "robber
tariff" to the committees ranking
democratic member. Congressman
John N. Garner of Texas, and his
fellow Jeffersonians.
Just now the committee is endeav-
oring to crack a mighty hard nut.
1t hopes to frame up a form Of
protection that will give the farmer
higher prices for everything he has
to sell, without making him pay still
higher ones for everything he has to
buy.
Congressman Ewin L.. Davis OF
! Tennessee, a pessimistic democrat,
gazed c~ynically into the committee
room the other day. as the members
toiled at their problem. For every
nickel that the farmer gets out OF
that tariff BILL" he predicted, I'll
bet he puts up a dollar in cold
! cash."

The World and All
BY Charles T. Driscol

By Charles r. Driscoll

I've never met Charles J. Finger, but he recently
dedicated to me an issue Of his excellent magazine,
Ais Well. So, of course, l think very highly Of that
magazine. But I call upon all my friends and read
es to witness that I always did think and speak well
of Ais Well, which is a high grade magazine, pub
lished in Fayetteville, Ark.
This idea of dedicating each number of the mag
azine, as one dedicates a book, seems quite a work
able one to me. The bigger magazines might take it
on III a big way, and much to their profit.
1t seems to me that it would be rather a clever
idea, for instance, for a geat magazine, such as the
Atlantic Monthly, to be dedicated this month to
Chales Lindbergh, or to the young woman who is to
be Mrs. L~indbergh soon. The dedication might be
printed on the cove, with a paragraph or two Of APP
~propriate remarks.
The thing might be carried even further. About
two or three times a year a big magazine might dedi-
cate an issue to a very extavagant advertiser, thus
making a tremendous hit with him.
Well, 7 was a newspaper editor once, and I'm sur
prsed that it never occurred to me to dedicate each
days paper to some citizen of the town.
I pass On the idea now to the publishers and edi-
tors, whit due acknowledgment to Squire Finger. I
think it would be a fine idea to print the dedication
on one OF the ears of the first page of the paper
each day. Todays paper might be dedicated to some
public official who has done his duty well, and to-
morrow'S TO some local woman whose daughter is
uOng well as ScnOOl, ulanKS largely 10 the unt1r1ng
labors and faith Of the mother. Most Of the dedica-
tons should be to local persons, but once in a while
the paper might reach out and dedicate a days issue
to some national hero or worthy person in our own
country or abroad.
What's the matter with the idea?
We have only the products of our labors with
which to compliment those whom we love, respect,
admire or appreciate. The author of a book is able

Anything that reflects the personality Of its maker
or producer might with ~propriety be dedicated to a

DRY LAW ENFORCEMENT SAID TO RES ON


versity of Minnesota, later studying at George
Washington university. Since 1907 he has been a
chemist i'll the internal revenue bureau of the
United States treasury, having been head Of the
chemical and technical division since 1920. He
was named commissioner Of prohibition in 1920.
More efficient enforcement Of prohibition can be
obtained through intelligent co-opeation Of all forces
charged with enforcement responsibility rather than
greater concentration of power in the federal govern
ment.
Complete responsibility in specific functions. a
spirit of cooperation and a coordination of the va
rious functions, together with hard daily work on the
part of all officers and executives, will accomplish
much. In my judgment, there is no quack remedy
which deals with superficial symptoms that will
change the situation overnight. People who are
spending their time and energy on such a quest would
do well to inform themselves first On the problem, as
information is the first requisite to intelligent action,
and no mans opinion on a specific subject is worth
any more than the amount Of information he may
possess on the same subject.
The question OF details of enfocement by lawfully
constituted authority, federal, state and municipal, is
paramount and its wise determination and solution is
essential to the future of our government. Believing
as I do that the Eighteenth amendment and the ma
tional prohibition act is not only good law, but offers
the best method for the suppression of alcoholism,
which is a curse to the modern industrial state, and
earnestly wishing to bring about further Improvement
in enforcement conditions, ] urge a calm. deliberate
and painstaking consideration Of this problem by our
thoughtful people.
Why is prohibition not better enforced? Why IS
it that liquor can be obtained in every city and town
Throughout The land? Why doesn't the government
do something about it? How is it that speakeasies
remain open and do business after many complaints
have been made against them? Why does the gov
eminent poison alcohol to enforce prohibition? These
and questions of like character come to my desk con-
tinually, and they have been broadcast throughout
the land.
I am confident that if they know more of the
working details of their government, federal and local,
that public opinion expressed through political action
will keep our affairs straight.
