MILLS R|D|CU[ES
|. FOES TARIFF PLAN
Declares Things Can Become
Much Worse if Protective
Theory Is Dropped. G
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, October RE
publican tariff theories were upheld and
Democratic principles attacked by Sec
retary of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills
in public speech here last night.
The tariff. Secretary Mills said In
his address. as released by the Hoover
Curtis Campaign Committee here. 'is
an issue in which every wage Garner.
every farmer. every manufacturer and
every merchant in this country has
direct and vital interest"
At the outset the Secretary listed
three accomplishments" Of the Hoover
administration:
I'VE have saved the credit Of the
Government; we have preserved the in
tegrity OF Our monetary system: we
have upheld the credit structure OF the
Nation tottering en- the brink Of disas-
ter.
Entitled to Confidence.
"Thees three accomplishments alone"
he said, achieved in the fact Of fearful
odds and after the grimmest of strug-
giles, entitie the President that Cali
fornia gave to the country to the
gratitude and confidence of the Nation
he has saved"
Things could have been much
worse" Secretary Mills declared, land
they can still become very much worse
If you entrlst the conduct Of your Gov
eminent to a party that in the course
of the last IL months has again shown
its inability to stand firmly by sound
principles in time of stress and danger,
and it's everlasting willingness to resort
to panaceas.
And things can become very much
worse, particularly on the Pacific Coast,
if the Democratic party is given an op-
portunity to do away with the protective
tariff and substitute a competitive tariff
fer revenue"
The speaker outlined the Democratic
tariff idea as exemplified in the Under
wood tariff in effect during most Of the
Wilson administration and contrasted
it with the Republican policy.
Our tariff is not for the beneflt of
any group of people or particular Sec
ton of the country" he declared. 1T
is for the protection of all Of our
people-those WHO till the soil, those
who take cur raw products from mines
and forests, those who work on the
railroads, those engaged in the manu-
facture of goods and those who dis
tribute them.
Corner Stone of Trade.
"At the same time that 1t has en-
couraged production, it has created
protected markets for the consumption
of that production. 1t has been and Is
the corner stone of the American
economic system"
Mills said there never was a more
dangerous time to tamper" with the
tariff than now. when standards of
living the world over are depressed,
when MANY countries are driven tn
sweat labor, and when the depreciation
of currencies are already in many cases
undermining the benefits of tariff
protection"
The Treasury head said that. due to
cheap water freights, many countries
are economically closer to American
centers of consumption than are Amer
ican production areas. A Democratic
competitive" tariff, he asserted, would
open American markets to foreign
products by virtue of cheaper freights.

Grams, individually and in groups, to
join in the fight against immediate pay
ment.
Plan Organization.
The object of the merger, said Lin
coin C. Andrews, chairman of the vet
erans' Executive Committee, Is to Or
ganize the anti-bonus veterans so as
to solidify and give expression to their
views.
Andrews, who is a former Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury. in announc-
ing the merger, said:
Many veterans are deserting the
Legion. They are divorcing themselves
from an organization that stands for
an idea that is repulsive to them. When
a man discovers that he Is married to a
gold digger he does well to get di-
vorce.
"The rank and file of the veterans,
when they stop to think, know that they
have much to be grateful for. More
and more are beginning to see that the
grateful Nation talk that has been fed
to them is bunk used by politicians who
would make mendicants of American
veterans in order to get following"
Duncan's Aides Resign.
TneSe men, ANDREWS continued, are
sore and getting sorer at being pic
tured as objects Of charity"
Meanwhile it became known that
Robert Goelet, banker, and Alexander
D. B. Pratt have resigned from the
legion in protest against its stand on
the bonus issue. Both men served as
aides to Maj. Gen. George B. Duncan,
U. S. A., retired, former commander Of
the 82d Division, who quit the Legion
for the same reason.
Goelet was cited for gallantry in the
Meuse -Argonne offensive.

weeping willow tree inside the Harding
memorial-its branches forming cano-

Mrs. Harding-is dying.
Within the year, Hoke Donithen
Harding Memorial Association secre-
tary, said yesterday. it probably will
have to be removed.
Although no definite plans have been
made, Donithen said, the willow likely
will be taken out next Spring and re-
placed.
The tree was planted when the late
Presidents body was removed from
Marion Cemetery to the tomb six years
ago. Although it apparently had a
healthy growth, tree surgeons have in
formed officers of the association it can

BY BYRON PRICE.

Early October has produced abundant
signs that the prohibition issue is about
to emerge from the partial eclipse 1t
underwent during the mid-stretch OF
the presidential campaign.
Although it never disappeared entirely
from the day-by-day story OF politics,
this subject had a September sub
mergence which appeared all the more
strange because OF what had gone be-
fore.
At the national conventions both par
ties had given their planks on the
eighteenth amendment far and away
the major share Of attention and had
reached their respective decisions only
after spectacular floor disputes.
In August, President Hoover's refer
ence to prohibition in his acceptance
speech, and Gov. Roosevelt's reply at
Seagrit, again challenged popular at
tention to an extent which kept the
argument going strong.
Then for weeks developments veereo
of in other directions. While MT
Hoover stayed at home and said little
about politics, Mr.. Roosevelt Launched
into a speaking campaign devoted to the
economic situation, power, railroads,
farm relief and host of separate issues
with only q few mentions OF the dry
law.
In local politics the discussion was
kept up by the clashing views OF candl-
dates for State office and Tor congress
but in a national sense 1t appeared 1or
the moment that prohibition might be
destined to become the forgotten issue

commission called them.
At a time when 100000 Americans are being
punished with unemployment for no fault of their

have violated laws.
It is not necessary to sympathize. We need only
recall the waste and folly Of spending millions to turn

Of society than when they went in.

Waste i'm Government

This city Is joining in the crusade to reduce the
cost Of federal government.
Waste must be eliminated The people can not
pay on the present basis The little leaks have be-
come torrents What was tolerated in days Of in
nation because Of its pettiness becomes important
in these defaulted hours
What is true Of the federal government Is also
true Of local governments
The tax problem is important But i Is also I'M
portant to stop waste at home Immediately and that
can be done only BY a special session Of the legs-
lature.
The transfer Of the gasoline tax to other uses
should be made at once.
The tax that was once needed to build ore mile
Of roads could today build three II the labor we're
paid on the basis OF made work in townships. It
could build two if the construction we're paid for at
prevailing rates Of labor But the state needs other
things more than it does cement roads.
The farmers need relief from taxes. The idle men
OF cities need work The real waste is the enforced
ideness that is increased by the waste in govern
ment funds.
Every unnecessary dollar taken from the farmer
and from industry today by taxation means re-
duced wage for some worker and more men in the
ranks CT the idle.
A real demand for special session that will
change the direction Of the big fund at the COM
mand of the state would do more to help Indiana
than an appeal to the federal government to cut the
wages Of its workers.

The present confusion in defini-
tion," Dr. Holsopple said, fnhibits
psychological research in the prob
lens of mental disease, feeble

cause the problems themselves, usu-
ally phrased in terms of the abnor-
NAL, can not be stated clearly.
Applications Of psychology to the
practical handling Of social prob
lens are often ineffective because
they depend upon some vague and
cratic concept Of the nature Of alb
normality."
An abnormal mental activity, as
Or. Holsopple proposed TO define it,
is an activity which is more char
acteristic of the abnormal person
than Of the normal person."
