Tariff and It's Friends

1t is hard to say whether its friends its enemies
are doing most to 6iscredit the tariff bill.
On one hand for example, 80 per cent Of the mem
bers Of the American Economic Association who re-
sponded to QUESTIONABLE sent out by New York
university feel that enactment of the bill would be
wholly bad 1t would raise the cost of living promote
international i'll feeling and retaliation, and leave the
economic gap between agriculture and industry as
wide as it is now, according to these experts.
On the other hand are such friends of the bill as
Senator Bingham Of Connecticut and his friend
President Hubbard of the Connecticut Manufacturers
Association.
Hubbard, indorsing Birghams extraordinary action
in bringing to Washington and introducing into the
secret rate-wrting meetings of the senate finance
committee, paid agent of the manufacturers associ-
tion unwittingly shot from under Bnghams feet the
argument that Connecticut industries depressed
The manufacturers association is supported by
dues paid by member companies according to the
number of people they employ, Hubbard said Never
he added, have its revenues been larger than this
year and last In other words. Connecticut has
workmen busy than ever before.
President Hoover, in converting the special session
of congress- defined the only industries needing tariff
relief those in which there has been Substantial
sackening of activity and consequent increase in
unemployment"
Hubbard's unwilling words show that Con-
necticut industry does not need the sweeping tariff
raises given it in the bill, which would increase the
profits of fortyfour of its fftytwo leading industries
according to Senator Walsh
Every such bit of testimony should be another nail
in the coffin of the bill.

REASON By FR IAsBHS

A he thinks it over President Hoover probably
feels that he would rather feed the Begians than
the Washingtonians for while the Begians more
numerous and more ravenous, none of their ladies
cared rap where they sat- just they sat close to
the rationS.
Had the Chicago Cubs won the world champion
ship they would have needed no great reception on
their return Yet $4,000 fans would have ripped the
ether to pieces. Being defeated however they needed
all the praise they could get, yet only few met them

So it is with the rest of us When our basketball
and football teams go away and win, meet them
at the station with brass band and 10000 Of with
bullying chests march with them to the courthouse
square yet let them out of the little end of the
horn and shun them as if they had stolen horse!

failed for it is not only the sportSmanlke thing, it
is also the best strategy.

The Job Holders

Unfortunately no orator on the Republic
an side of the campaign debate has as yet
made it clear as to what the future attitude
will be toward the giving voorhees, jobs to
the politically efficient.
The origin of the ticket is we'll known. 1t
was selected by Coffin, led through his fears
and an accurate knowledge of the extent of
his own disrepute with the public, to agree
to a mayoralty candidate Of fine reputation
for integrity, business acumen, and success.
1t was ratified by the organization of
committeeman who hold their places, thanks
to the peculiar legal view rendered by the
supreme court, only as long as they serve as
rubber stamps for Coffin.
It is these same committeeman who de-
They ask for them because they do not ex-
pect to work or because the pay is higher
than they could earn elsewhere. They get
the jobs and the people pay the bills.
These job holding committeeman are to
be found in the Offices controlled by Coffin.
The seriffs Office is filled with them. The
hymn of that particular local of the Work
IeSS OLIOL Is Sdlu W DC " ue Oup-
per-" They may be hunting for it.
Just how the organization works is shown
in the recent case Of one Petty, a deputy sher-
if and ward chairman for Coffin.
Petty was drunk on duty. He was rush
ing his automobile through the city streets,
presumably on the hunt for vioators of the
law. He smashed into car of a citizen who
was sober and trying to drive carefully.
When this citizen went to the jail to pro-
test, he was told, so it was testified in court,
that if he raised any fuss he might find him
self in cell. He, fortunately, had some
sense of Americanism left and refused to be
bullied by the other job holding committee
men.
1t took two trials to convict Petty. He
now is on the state farm, serving a thirty
day sentence. Every influence was exerted
to protect him. The first trial was
so peculiar in some of its incidents that the
prosecutor openly charged that political in
fluence was being used to protect Petty.
The point is that the viewpoint of these
job holders was not one of Indignation that
their associate, elevated and trusted had be-
trayed them. They acted as though they be-
lieved obeying Coffin gives immunity from
punishment.
Some one should be specific as to how
these rubber stamps of Coffin are to be
treated in the event of success. Will they,
who selected the councilmen and picked the
secretary of their committee for a steady
job, demand the jobs? Will they get them?
Will they be permitted to perpetuate Cot
finism or are they to be banished from job
holding?

The Boulder Dam Plan
convicted.

Secretary of Interior Wilbur has decided that the
federal government will not generate Boulder dam
power.
Probably the city Of Los Angeles which is to oper-
ate the plant, will do a good job even though ar
rangements call trite obscurely, for appointment
of board containing two private utility company
members and representative of the federal govern
ment Ito act with" the city.
Nevertheless we regret the decision.
Boulder dam project is so big, and has so many
diversified purposes that feel the government
should have kept its hand the helm to make sure
power does not usurp position of first Importance
over irrigation and flood control.
Government operation would have served other
useful public purposes 1t would have thrown valu-
able new light on the power business and the prob
lem of public control. The government has tried,
through the federal trade commission and SO far
failed to get data to understand the complicated
structure of holding company control which has made
state regulation of utility rates practically ineffective
Public operation of great projects comparable to
the largest under private control is needed to
help solve the problems that have grown up with
the expanding power industry.
1t was the intention of congress in creating the
Boulder dam project, debates in the congressional
record clearly show that it should this purpose

The GaStOnia Verdict

Charged with Staying the Gastonia police chief,
seven strikers ard strike organizers have been found
guilty Of second degree murder by North Carolina

Announcement is made that the verdict will be ap

Regardless of whether the men guilty or in

Deserved Praise

TINE actor deserved his triumph.
Il While it is true that his first
entrance marks the moment when
the play begins to take on pace after
a slow beginning, he would stand
out even If the competition OF his
COMPANIONS were far more severe.
The young German has the role OF
a Prussian lieutenant and he steers
an inspired course in keeping the
part delicatelys satirical and yet
never for an instant farctcal.
1t was rather extraordinary to sit
in an American theater and watch
an audience go wild over an actor
who makes a German officer come
absolutely into life.
Only a few short seasons ago Herr
Rumann would have been compelled
to act some noxious spy, if anything.
Even now is can not be said that
Junker is quite the ideal OF the New
York public.
To be sure, Lieutenant Engel, the
character in the play, is a man not
insensitive TO humor. Still Rumann
does rather more than bring out the
chuckling undercurrent of the swag-
gering Prussian. He adds something
of himself.
He interprets the character and
reviews him, too. Just thin edge
of the laughter rests not on what
Lieutenant Engel thinks of life and
death, but what Siegfried Rumann
thinks of the character which he is
playing.

Stars

.NUR earth is one of eight planets
~ which revolve around the sun.
The moon revolves around our earth.
Some planets have no moons or
satellites. Others have numbers
ranging up to nine.
Our sun is a star, one of 40,000,-
100000 which form what astronom-
ers call the galaxy.
The smallest known star, called
Van Maanen'S star, after the astro-
homer at Mt. Wilson who discovered
1t, is about the size of our own earth.
The largest known star is Antares.
1t has a diameter of about 415,000,-
600 miles.
The smallest known star is COM
posed of material so heavy that
spoonful would weigh a ton. The
largest known star is composed of
material so light that a piece the
size of a mountain would weigh less
than a hundred thousandth of an
ounce.
The galaxy is shaped like a great
watch. The diameter along the
hands is about 100000 light years.
The diameter from front to back is
about 10000 light years.
The spiral nebulae are at immense
distances from the earth. The near
est,is about $4,000 light years away.
About 100000 spiral nebulae are
within range of the largest tele-
scopes.
