TARIFF VIEWS HIT
BY GOLDSBOROUGH
Senator Answers Byrns and
Hull by Citing Democratic
Support of Law.

Ridiculing proposal OF Senator Huh,
Democrat, Of Tennessee, that the fiex-
ible provision be repealed as a threat
u another general tariff revision" Sen
etor Goldsborough, Republican, of Mary
land, claShed yesterday with Repre-
sentative Byrns, Democrat, of Tennes-
see, in the latest tariff controversy.
Byrns, who Is ranking Democrat on
the House Appropriations Committee,
blamed the Hawley-Smoot act for
large part Of the decline in American
foreign trade.
Hull, former chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, predicted
his party would wage its campaign next
year on the economic issue. =
Democratic Votes Recalled.
Senator Goldsborough contended the
Democrats helped create the present
law. casting 526 votes for rate increases.
"On two occasions" he added, 1.-The
Democrats who now howl so bitterly
about the ubiquitous rates in the
Hawley-Shoot act had the opportunity
TO vote in favor of revision of the agri-
cultural rates alone and on both occa-
sions Democratic votes spiked the So
called ubiquitous rates into the bill"
Byrns said American exports and i'm
ports for the first quarter of 1881 were
$742,O65, 600 below the same period last
year and 81 ,261, 462 900, or almost so
per cent, under the same quarter for
1929.
Tariff Factor in Decline.
"How much OF this slump in inter-
national commerce is due to the tariff
policy OF the Hoover administration
possibly no two will agree" he said,
but 1t cannot be reasonably disputed
that the HaWlev-Smoot tariff has been
q most important factor in the decline.
Resulting, as it did, in some As or more
foreign governments imposing retalia-
tory tariffs against our goods and this
probably had more than anything else
to do with our foreign commerce slump
ing to but little more than so per cent
Of the volume of two years ago."

lie still, sunk deeper and deeper
into apathy. He gets queer no.
tionS. He wants to be left alone.
Actually he is dying because he
is eating himself up. And, if he
continues to refuse food, he
starves to death.
That is what happens to a
starving body-and exactly the
same thing happens to a starv-
ing mind.
Bodies are fed on food,
Minds are fed on thoughts,
ideas, new experiences, contacts
with other human beings.
Minds starve as surely as bod
les, if they are not fed. And
the symptoms are much the
same. For a while the mind
that has shut itself away from
life can live on it's own reserves
like the body that has shut
itself away from food. It can
feed on it's memories, it's own
Speculations. But soon those
used-up thoughts no longer
nouriSh the mind.
What Is the Cure?
Indifference comes creeping,
like a paralysis. over the brain.
It grows tired, respondent,
blurred. It no longer desires
life. 1t is sick of life. It is
eating itself up. The thing
that peers from the dull, list
less eyes i. starving to death.
Is this happening to you?
Then what's the cure? Stop
starving. Feed yourself. Bring
new interests into your life.
It won't be easy at first. You
won't want interests any more
than the starving man wants
food. You'll fight them. They'll
bore you. And people will bother
you. You'll want to crawl away
you'll want to sink in t o
apathy again
Don't let yourself.
Fight on! Make yourself 60
through the motions of living as
you make an invalid go through
the motions of eating. Never
mind if life doesn't taste good
if it arouseS a strange nausea in
you. Force yourself to meet
people. Force yourself to work,
to play, to go places-to fight
again, hope again, love again.
And presently. those gestures
which were painfully, drearily
mechanical, will become easy
and natural and unconscious.
And you will be we'll again-and
feel the Joy and wonder Of life
running through you.

Yet, even as you sink, you

I had trouble. People hurt
me. I lost my money. And
there was a big sorrow. Some
one I loved-went away. That's
how got this way"
Normal Part of Life
No, it isn't. Trouble and sor'
row and hard work didn't make
you this way. Trouble and sor-
row and hard work are a nor
NAL part of life. We can live as
vigorously after they come as
before-tf we take them right.
You didn't go on living after
these things came to you. You
stopped living. You shut life
out. And shut yourself in on
yourself. And then you began a
horrible, cannibalistic practice
of living on yourself.
Do you know what happens
when a man stops eating? That
man begins to live on his own
body. The hungry body con-
sumes its own excess fat. If the
mans very fat, that's all very
well-for a while. But pretty
soon he begins to weaken. Lit

eat any more. He only wants to

DE NdGuEdI
Don't be too effusive or you
will get the reputation of being
insincere.
You have met or had guests
of this sort.
At times you have wished
that you might be as enthusiaS-
tic as they are.
Their apparent ability to ap-
pear pleased whether you are
or not, is a trait you wish that
you possessed.
You envy their ability to
make the other fellow feel i'm
portant and feel that he is
creating pleasure when you
know the reverse is true.
But this sort can deceive only
the inexperienced, those who
have not studied the ways OF
human nature very closely.
To be equally effusive to
friends and acquaintances shows
on the face of it that you are
deceitful.
It is an assumed character
and manner and the one who
is honest but blunt is to be pre-
ferred.
Even though your reception
be cold, you should prefer the
truth.

There is a famous law, named
for its formulator, Dollo, known
as the claw of the irreversibility
of evolution" Evolution is said
to be irreversible; but it is now
believed by scientists that its
direction can and does change.
Animated discussion among an
thropologists is going on.
Indeed, it has been suggested
instead of man being derived
from the anthropoid ape, the
precise reverse is the case.
Henry Fairfield Osborn, how
ever, has recently invoked
Dollo'S "law of the irreverslb1l-
ity of evolution" as debarring
the whole anthropoid ape group
from human ancestry on &C
count of their loss of certain
anatomical characters which
have been retained by man.
Hits Ape-Man Theory
At the same time it must not
be forgotten that Professor Os-
born has recently made an at
tack on what is known as the
"ape-man theory" of evolution.
This position has been mis-
interpreted by certain groups,
notably preachers and journal
lists, who have leaped to the
conclusion that the so-called
Darwinian hypothesis Of mans
origin has been demolished.
AS a matter of fact, Osborn
has frankly stated that he does
not ignore the Overwhelming
evidence of remote community
of origin between man and the
anthropoid apes" The special
theory which he combats is
that feature of the Lamarck-
Darwin hypothesis that man
once passed into highly special
lied arboreal adaptations at
tained by the Miocene apes.
Indeed, we have only to COM
pare the so-called diagram IL
lustrating his present theory
of the ascent and phylogeny Of
man, with the family tree Of
man advanced by Prof. William
K. Gregory, to note their es-
sential similarity. Osborn places

tion Of man and the anthropoid

apes one geologic epic earlier
than does Gregory.
It must be clear that Osborn's
theory is not any revolutionary
overturning of the Darwinian
hypothesis of mans origin. The
new version of the Lamarck'
Darwin theory of mans origin
is shared in it's main features
by Osborn, Prof. Gregory, Sir
Arthur Keith and Prof. G.
Elliott Smith.
Osborn unequivocally pro-
claims the strong evidence for
an Eocene arboreal stage in our
ancestry. He further asserts
that in the forest remain all the
backward, conservative types,
while on the plateaus and up
lands are found the alert. pro-
gressive, forwaSd-looking types.
Much evidence continues to
point strongly to the conclusion,
as stated by Gregory, that, al
though man may have been a
plateau-living biped for millions
of years, his ancestry eventually
merges with that Of the con-
servative, forest-living, origin
ally arboreal anthropoids.
Difference In Theories
One point of sharp difference
occurs between the theory Of
Osborn and that of Keith. Greg
ory, Morton and others. This is
in regard to what is known as
brachiation or phase Of develop
ment through the use Of the
arms. AS first used by Keith
brachiation means that method
of progression in the trees in
which the suspension grasp is
employed by the arms, while the
backbone is in general vertical
to the plane of progression.
Keith and others regard
brachiation, to a moderate ex-
tent, as an indispensable pre-
requisite for the assumption Of
erect bipedal posture on the
ground. Osborn admits the ex.
istence Of a common ancestral
stock from which man and the
anthropoid apes are both de-
rived, but eliminates from the
human line the "brachiating
stage" through which the early
anthropoid undoubtedly passed.

Reader Discusses Public
Utilities Situation

Editor, Times:
The declared law of the land
has proclaimed that a public
utility is entitled to a fair re-
turn upon the fair value Of the
property employed in the pub
lie service but under no circum-
stances must the public be
charged more than the service
is reasonably worth. 1t was
through this declaration that
the so-called valuation for rate
making purposes came into
existence. AS a practical mat
ter public utility rates are not
made upon value at all but are
on the contrary based upon
many considerations and in
the last analysis they are
usually based upon what the
traffic will bear" Also as a
practical matter it is impossible
to fix rates in advance so that
the sum of the rates will just
equal a fair return upon the
fair value of the property.
Under such a scheme some
utilities earn more and some
less than the prescribed return.
The only alternative therefore
is to recapture from the utility
the excess profits which it does
earn.
There is no authority as such
in regulation to recapture eX-
cess earnings. But as an aid
to regulation Congress may eX-
ercise the taxing power. Dayton
