The Long Prairie Leader has the following to say
about the tariff There is good deal of bunk about
this talk of foreign retaliation because of our tariff
law The United States is still by big margin the
best market that any of these countries have England
France, Italy, Germany, Canada, Holland and all the
other countries find one of their best customers
If not their BEST Under the tariff law consider
ably more than half of all the goods we buy abroad
come in duty free The tariff is levied against those
products which produce here in America or which
ought to produce The oscillations will die born
ing. Such action would harm the other countries
more than it would hurt and know this better
than they do Other countries adopting tariff laws
but they not aimed at the United States They
are adopting the tariff system because they have some
sense and want to build their countries We hear
talk about the Italian tariff on automobiles and to
hear the talk one would think the act was directed
particularly against the United States Nothing could
be further from the truth. 1t is general tariff oper-
ating against all countries and particularly against
her neighbors, France and Germany. Italy wants to
build her auto industry. This trade balance
Is another DOGGY which does not prove effective
in practice The American tourist traveller alone takes
more cash to Europe and to Canada than any trade
balance requires There has been some tall living
about the tariff bill by its opponents and time will
prove it. Mark the prediction.

Blind Sports Editor
a the University of Montana the student pub
~ LEGATION, the Montana Kamin, has the distnc-
ton of having the only blind sports editor in
the world. Despite wise cracks pertaining to other
editors and sports editors in particular it is obvious
the young man, Pat Callahan, must have something
in his makeup that the ordinary individual doesn't
possess.
Callahan is genuinely equipped to function in his
present capacity While undergraduate at the uni
versity he became interested in sports and was an ar
dent fan of the varsys activities. In his own line
he went out for wrestling and in his senior year win
ming the championship of the school at the annual
tournament His title actually won in hard COM
petitive wrestling and the championship affair was
one of the toughest the final card.
Callahan received his bachelor of arts degree in
history with minor in journalism and Latin in
1929 and has since taught the state School for the
Deaf and Blind
The deplorable situation of the pollution of the
Redwood river through its for sewage disposal has
never been obvious is The river throughout
the park is no more than open sewage ditch and
game fish are dying by the hundreds. The stencil
from the stream is farreaching. 1t is true the dis
posal of sewage from the city offers problem which
is most easily solved by of the river the point
nearest the city. Any other means would entail an
added cost. Either cesspool must be built or the
sewage deposited in the river below the park where it
would not be offensive to the public. Otherwise we
will continue to have river through the park that
not even fit to look at let alone for bathing or
wading.
