Calling For Proof

Far reaching indeed will be the effect Of the senate
Resolution calling upon TIE treasury department :or
the business statements Of large concerns seeking
tariff increases. Heretofore increases have been
granted ct the mere request of those seeking the favor.
Nothing but the word Of the manufacturer hat ne
increase was needed was submitted In support II me
plea for aid. Now the need must be proved BY r late
nent Of fact. The mere assertion Of the nanufac-
turer that a higher rate is necessary will no longer
suffice: he must support his plea with the same char
acter Of proof that railway companies are required to
submit when asking for an increase in freight rates.
So simple and so just is this senate demand Tor N
formation that the wonder is that it was not asked for
long ago. The country knows very we'll that tariff
favors have been bestowed upon interests that neeaeo
no additional protection at all. The country has sus-
uected that most tariff increases represented q meas
ure OF favoritism. Let business be sufficiently large
and wealthy. and II has gotten what 1t asked ioE
merely the asking. Now It is asked to appear IN the
omen ana prove that o real need actually exists.
The adoption OF this senate policy Is certain 70
lend powerful support to the Hoover position on the
matter OF tariff revision. BY campaign utterance and
official intimation the president stands committed to
q policy or limited revision. But once the question
was open ell the beneficiaries Of protection were tn
mediatelv on the scene demanding still larger tariff
favors. Some Of the most prosperous businesses IN
America were heard to cay that without r Ereater re-
gree Of protection they cannot survive at all. SO LOUD
has been the clamor for higher schedules that the
Hoover ideal of limited revision has been submerged
entirely. Now that the calamorous must prove their
case there is a strong probability that limited revision

STOP III NOW.

Discussing the automobile accident
problem, the Jacksonville, Florida,
Times-Union recently said, in advo-
eating liability legislation on the order
of the New York plan: 1T is very
evident that many persons are per-
mitted to operate motor vehicles on
streets and highways when there is
no justification whatever for such per-
mission to be granted or to be enjoyed.
irresponsible persons are the most
numerous causerS of accidents, fatal
and otherwise.
"The very responsibility, as in the
matter of paying for damages that
result from their reckleSsness, ought
to be sufficient to bar certain motor
car drivers from using the public
streets and highways. They are ire
sponsible, financially, frequently not
owning the car or vehicle they operate
in public. They laugh when damages,
to be paid by them, are mentioned.
They should be made to understand
that they must pay for such accidents
as they cause. If they cannot be made
to understand this by education, then
the teaching should be by way of dras-
tic law, energetically and effectively
applied. s@
"This entire matter of accidents due
to the use of motor-driven vehicles
needs more serious attention than as
yet has been given to it. Otherwise
the slaughter of innocent people will
go on and increase in numbers The
general demand should be: Stop it
now"

THE TAXING POWER.

Government cannot go bankrupt as
long as it has the taxing power and
while the people have anything left
to tax. Government units, particularly
state and municipal, are levying con-
stantly greater tax burdens on the
people.
Bureaucracy tends to launch govern
ments into experiments and pass the
costs on to the taxpayers who cannot
escape the bill.
Government must be maintained but
it must be protected from bureaucratic
control which extends its activities
outside the sphere of governing, en-
courages ineffciency and adds number
less employees to the public payroll.
The taxpayers, to foot all political bills,
must be ever watchful and take de-
cisive action when necessary.

A aYOUNG INDUSTRY

On August Is, the American petrol
cum industry will celebrate its severn
tieth birthday. But three score years
and ten-an average lifetime, have
passed since William B. Smith with
drew bit from a hillside in Titus
vile, Pennsylvania, set up an iron
pitcher pump, and started producing
heavy, black fluid from the earth
The work had given the people of the
countryside great deal of innocent
merriment; the fact that great in
dustry had been born was realized by
no one.
Now the industry that was started
by Drake and Smith employs 100000
people. The once solitary oil well has
100000 neighbors. The original invest
ment of a few dollars has grown to
$11 600, 100000. The handful of peo-
pie who had a use for oil then has
increased until it includes practically
every American citizen. And OF equal
importance, the price of oil has drop
ped from the 1859 quotation of $3.50
per barrel, to less than $500.
To visualize a world without oil is
to visualize one minus automobiles,
airplanes, tractors, gas engines, modern
ships, great oil burning factories, power
plants and thousand and one luxur-
les and necessities. Oil did a lions
share in putting an end to the age Of
candles and wagons.
Few Americans who drive up to any
of the tens of thousands of filling sta
lions that dot our highways and re-
ceive high grade oil products at a low
price, realize what has been accom-
plished by private initiative and enter
prise in the oil industry in 70 years.
The story of is an integral part of
our romantic history.
