appear before the committees of the house and senate and fight for low rates on their imports.
 The criticism of the bill is of the type that has appeared in the press in connection with every tariff revi- sion. It is the same old anvil chorus that we have been listening to ever since the days of Grover Cleveland.
 "The business men of the country are not all republican, Probably half of them are democrats. and they will benefit jointly in the pas sage of the legislation.
 Mellon Approves
 Secretary Mellon, for whose opin- ion the business men of the United States have the greatest respect. said in closing his recent comment on the Hawley Shoot bill as follows:
 "In short, 1t seems to me that the final enactment of the tariff law, far from placing new obstacles in the way of business recovery, removes one by eliminating the uncertainty of the last IS months. and by its promise of more businessiike revi- sion in the future makes 8 definite contribution to business stability
 "A republican tariff bill is mes- sage to the rest of the world that we intend to keep the standard of wages and living conditions high, that American men and women who supply the brains and brawn in in dustrial and agricultural production may prosper. A democratic free trade measure is a message to the world that they intend to drag the American workman and his family down to the level of his foreign com- petitors who work long hours for starvation wages

Price Reduction on
 Oakland Pontiac

"The automobile industry's policy of constantly giving greater value at lower cost is emphasized by a com parison of the recently-reduced Oak land Pontiac prices with those charged when the cars were first in- troduced," says Howard W. Whit more, local Oakland Pontiac dealer.
 Back in 1908 the Oakland touring Model 20 sold for $1250, lamps, windshield and top being provided only at additional cost. In 1909 the Model 40 cost $500 without extras. In 1912 Oakland prices reached their peak at $3,O00 for a seven-passenger 45-horsepower limousine. A self starter cost s25 extra.
 Then, with the advent of volume production. came gradual drop in prices to s15S5 in 1916 and 1917, which continued downward until Oakland's recent base price reached $1045 on the least expensive closed body model. And that minimum price now has gone by the board be- fore a new low of 1895 for the Oak AdAlu Al"$OOu 1G5S llldil lllC odh- land of 22 years ago.
 Similarly, the prices of Pontiac Sizes have declined. The first models of that car, the Two-Door and Coupe were introduced in January of 1926 at $S25, then regarded as a remark ably low price for a six cylinder automobile.
 But despite a steady improvement in quality and performance, the Pom tiac prices followed the trend pre- viously established by Oakland until they reached the recent base of $745. The further August reduction to a base of s666 represents a cut of $160 from the lowest Pontiac price of 1926.

 Pile sufferers can only get quick, safe and lasting relief by removing the cause-bad circulation of tho blood in the lower bowel. Cutting and salves can't do this-an inter- nal medicine must be used. HEM ROID, the prescription of Dr. J. 5.

 Many more articles are imported, however, but come under so-called

 We have never criticized other countries for raising their tariff rates. nod have our ambassadors to these countries attacked them In public speech or statements. We | must guard against the destruction of our American standard of living.
 Remember that the periods of low tariff under democratic rule have been periods of acute business depression, accompanied by unem- ployment and our workers were 50 nj debt as result that it took them years to recover. Many of our younger generation have never ex- | perenced the hardships endured i during such disastrous times.

 This money has been used to re- | habilitate industries in the various countries. We have built them new factories, restored the old ones bought them raw material, bought ! them modern machinery, and now they are knocking at our door to sell the kind of merchandise that vii! displace American products.
 The international bankers arc much more concerned about their investments in Europe than they ar. jregarding the continued activities oi the American workmen.

Editorial Comment
A Force for Safety
(The Red Cross Courier)

NAuC NIUSS III
Men who have watched the introduction of the Ameri-
can Red Cross Standard First Aid course into industrial
plants have realized that the good results that have been
obtained were partly due to the work done by the safety
man. partly due to the better care given to injuries, but
perhaps more because the man who is thoroughly inter-
ested in first aid, whether he is q safety man or not,
becomes . very positive missionary for safety. not only
for himself but for his co-workers as well. In the tube
department Of q steel mill the foreman, on being ques-
toned as to the cause Of the reduction Of accidents, and
especially eye accidents, said that the five men who made
up the first aid team in his department aroused so much
feeling about unsafe practice that a careless man was
constantly confronted with direct and decided criticism
from his fellow workers.
First aid has been introduced into a large number of
plants where physicians, nurses, or specialized attendants
are available at all times. The rank and file Of the en-
ployes who are taught first aid do not do the work,
therefore, the training Is entirely educational; here again
the company has found that first aid as q part Of q we'll
thought out and conducted safety campaign has caused
q noteworthy reduction In the accident ratio.
The companies In the Southurban Group Of the Chi
cago Safety Council have not given out any figures of
their results, but the executives who have been ques-
toned have been frank in expressing their intention to
continue with their first aid and safety work. More
over, they have assured us that they would not think
Of doing 50 unless the teaching as carried out by the
Chicago Chapter Of the American Red Cross and the
Chicago Safety Council had been a definite success. The
writer feels very definitely that the competition Of first
aid teams Is q tremendous factor in interesting employees
and at the same time in repaying them for the many
hours Of work that they have spent in training.
