Canada's Answer to Our Tariff.
(NeW York World.)

The Canadian Government for obvious reasons does not admit that its emergency tariff sched- ueS which went into effect yesterday are intended to Hawley- Shoot duties Officially Canadas action is designed to stimulate home industry and absorb the unemployed Never theless, many of the rates identical with those which were recently embodied in the Ameri can tariff act. For example the latest American rates potatoes eggs butter cattle sheep and hogs exactly duplicated in the new Canadian law That certainly looks like game of tit for tat
 The spectacle of two neighboring nations each the others best customer engaging in tariff is not at all alluring And the end, apparently has not yet been reached; for the Canadian tariff is only interim agreement, with a more general revision scheduled for the next session of the Parliament. Last spring the King Ministry brought forward a tariff bill which would have dealt a blow to some $2O00O000O of export trade. While this pending there was a change of government, and the Bennett Ministry now in office is both protectonist and less friendly to the United States than the government it succeeded
 Canada clearly has it in her power to hurt our foreign trade by duplicating our own action. The question is whether in hurting her neighbor she will not also be hurting herself In attempting to promote prosperity by economic isolation and at- countries applying the ideas of yesterday to the problems of today. A curtailment of the trade between the two countries can only lead to more idle farms and mines and factories and-what is still worse-more idle But at least this much may be said in behalf of the Canadian Govern ment: it has taken steps to prevent the new duties from causing advance in domestic prices. Such consideration for the consumer did not actuate those who framed the Hawley- y-Smoot tariff.

ADVERTISE TRAVEL ATTRACTIONS.

There are so many Federal bureaus that the suggestion that we have another one may cause some to shudder. But the World Work TOT sep tember advocates another bureau that ought to have an appeal to the business sense Of the country It proposes that we have a Federal Travel Bureau to be attached to the Department of Commerce the purpose of which would be to let the world-in- cludng particularly our people-know what we have in the United States that would be interest ing to those who travel
 People will travel especially during the agreeable months They visit the mountains and seas and scenes of historical and other interest. They seek places where climate is agreeable and where pie turesque scenery abounds They hunt out the won der spots of the world
 Why should we not let the travellers of the world know what we have to show? We go abroad by the thousands and take cash by the hundreds of millions with us to spend abroad. Why not get some of this business for ourselves? We have regions that possess attractions for travellers at all seasons of the year. We have a lot to show. Let it all be made known.
 Of course travellers come to the United States now It is said that Canadians spend $85 100000 a year in this country Why not try to increase this traffic? Canadians could afford it for they collect from tourists much more-$251 100000 in 1929 And it might be suggested to Europeans who travel that if they find the United States dry or monotonous the roads leading to Canada are always open and easy to find
 France has travel bureau and in return she collected last year $s3sooooOo from foreign tour ists She has travel commissioners who make it easy for the inexperienced to international borders. The Worlds Work proposal is for us to do that It suggests that place Government agents in Canada first and then cover the world as fast the work may be extended

far from general agreement that the i'm provement is due to the numerous mechani- cal experiments of treh amelioration of political ethics. Primaries as substitute for conventions, and city managers and commission governments as substitutes for Mayors and Aldermen, are not the reason for a higher tone in political life. The real reason is a general lift in civic morality, a forward movement in civilization away from frontier habits and practices Yet even now it is the first impulse of the American mind to think of progress "constructively,' in terms of concrete devices systems, codeS safeguards. If our elected judges are poor lot, it is the constructive solution to advocate the appointment of judges. If ap- pointed judges are a disgrace, the con- structive remedy is to elect them. The non-constructive remedy of arousing the civic consciousness to the necessity of honest and competent judges manifests it. self more rarely

We Keep the Polo Cup.
(New York Times.)


 Americas victory decisively attained by winning the second game of the international polo series at Meadow Brook yesterday, was for the first time broadly national triumph. The West was repre- sented with the East Captain Thomas Hitchcock, Jr's smashing Four. It was also the triumph of the Hitchcock family, not the least factor in the result being the marvellous condition of the United States mounts, which all Summer long have been under the eye of the father of the young captain.
 Perhaps the happest element in American success the unanimty of the teams backing by the public. Before, due to the practice of se- ectng a Four in advance and then changing it's personnel several times there was actional feeling behind the removed candidates There also an underlying sentiment that sufficient opportunity to qualify was not given to players from other parts of the country. This year Captain Hitchcock and the Defence Committee invited aspirants from all parts of the land, and there n9 quarrel with the final choice
 The English played gallantly and fought to the end But the msfortunes which befell some of their best players and the long sea voyage Of the ponies in themselves almost fatal obstacles to victory, if the American Four had not been so excellent team

Development of local playgrounds and their equipment will be under taken in the near future by the Ju- neau Volunteer Fire Department, it was indicated at last nights meet ing of that organization held in the rooms of the Firemen's Club in City Hall.

 The Fair Committee of the or ganization reported last night that net profit of $5l7 had been made on the Firemen's booth at the re- cent Southeast Alaska Fair. This will be added to the Firemen's Gen. eral Fund available for its civic activities.

 BULBS AND BULB PRICES

Most of our bulbs have now ar- rived and we have a large supply of bulbs for forcing and fall plant ing All are of the best grades and highest quality obtainable. Buying direct from growers enables us to make our prices somewhat less than those asked by dealers in the States as the comparison below shows.
 In the comparison we have Tul- ips, for all reliable dealers handle the same grade, hence prices are strictly comparable. This compari- son is made with a Philadelphia seed firm, doing, perhaps, the larg- est mail order business of it's kind in the country and also of seed house doing large wholesale and retail business and importing thou sands of cases of bulbs every sea- son, with stores in New York and Chicago. One in each of several classes of Tulips with prices are for a dozen as follows:

Argentina Opens Its Doors.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

For several years the Argentine Republic has persisted in a withdrawal from international life almost as conspicuous the hermit'S life of her former Premier, Hipolito Irigoyen. It is year and half since Argentina has had Ambassador at Washington because of Irigoyens thorough dis like of the United States Some years ago, her representatives were withdrawn from the sessions of the League of Nations and in various capitals the absence of Argentine officials has been mo- ticeable
 The new regime plans to alter this condition at once first sending former Ambassador, Manuel Malbran, to Washington, and then recognizing the rest of the diplomatic service as to get an adequate representation of the Argentine nation in all important foreign countries
 There are many admirable qualities about Ir- lgoyen, and his determination to develop Argentina flor herself without leaning foreign nations was quite above criticism. But to carry this to the point of cutting off nomal diplomatic intercourse with foreign nations and with the League was destructive of Argentna's own best interest. The new provisional Government, representing landed aristocracy rather than the wide democracy of Iri- lgoyen, may or may not prove better Govern ment in the long run but at least it has made a good beginning by opening the doors of the Nation to the fullest possible relations with all countries

ABOUT STATE RIGHTS AND THE
 LIQUOR PROBLEM.

While both Gov Roosevelt and Gov. Ritche are unreservedly committed to the repeal of the Eigh- tcenth Amendment there is difference in detail in the they would proceed. Gov. Roosevelt would leave the matter of liquor control to the separate States but suggests that he would favor a law that would forever make the return of the saltln impossible. Gov. Ritche urges repeal ot the Eighteenth Amendment and withdrawal of the Federal Government from any sort of regulation oi the business. He says if we going to recognize State Rights let us do it, and leave the question of distribution to the sentiment of the people who compose the separate States.
 This difference has cropped up in several places but in noae that is higher, far potica position concerned than the station of these two eminent State Executives both of whom have beer considered as Presidential possibilities
 The New York Times discusses the matter a length in well considered editorial follows:
 Candidates who want the Eighteenth Amendment removed from the Constitution but only if something else is inserted in its place need not be thought influenced by exclusively practical considerations. No doubt the chief reason is desire to mitigate and placate and soothe and appease, and not rub in hard and smooth oyer and

 national traits An Opposition with no pro- gram of it's own, a critic with substitute for the thing he criticizes, finds it hard to secure popular hearing. To this habit of thought the champions of the Eigh- teenth Amendment address themselves when they insist upon knowing what the anti Prohbitionists propose to set up in place of Prohibition. It is not every opponent of Prohbitin who bethinks himself of answer ing that he is not concerned with setting up something in it's place; the important thing in the of a recognized evil is to get rid of it. The retort is not forth coming because the great majority of the American people subscribe to the belief that tinkering is constructive, but letting alone is negative and unmany. And yet it is not on record that surgeons called upon to insert something in place Of the tumors they under pain of being regarded as not constructive

of their own power or too jealous for
their own systems to be willing to prac-
tice mutual accommodation. What
went on in these early conferences is
suggested by a newspaper account
printed little more than year ago.
The account Is, of course, not authori-
tative. but it bears out the impress
sion then current:
Executive Attitudes Vary.
Included in the contenders are the
strident and aggressive Atterbury, the
diff1dent and watchful Crowley, the
testy and precise Willard and the ur-
banely businesslike Van Sweringen
brothers. Atterbury of the Pennsylvania
exchanges blows with Willard of the
Baltimore e. Ohio and the Cleveland
railway rejunvenators. Crowley of the
New York Central lodges between these
opponents, first impeding Atterbury and
then the three allies. Striding among
the combatants and laying about in
discriminatory may be discerned a
bearded stalwart, who is Loree of the
Delaware & Hudson, at odds with all,
indefatigable prepayment OF mergers he
alone approves"
The stage of the negotiations thus de-
Scribed lasted until about year ago.
Persons who were displeased at the lack
of success were inclined to criticize the
railroad executives. 1t was said prob
ably with some injustice, that the ex-
ecutives were fighting personal duels
over the country's transportation sys-
tenn Another phrase was that the ex-
ecutives were playing poker with rail-
roads as chips" Doubtless much of this
was unjust, for there were genuine diff
cuities to overcome. About year ago,
after the business depression got under
way, some important business leaders
asked President Hoover to use his good
offices to help persuade the railroad ex-
ecutlves to get together in spirit more
favorable to mutual concession. 1t was
urged at the time, and, Of course, con-
tinueS to be fact, that consolidation
would be an immense and solid step
toward the restoration of business
health in the country.
