in the game of politics, he has steadfastly insisted
that the campaign, far he is concerned, be
waged on the issues alone and not permitted to de-

that Mr. Brown before and since the primary, has

OLD STUFF

Malcolm Bingay in Detroit Free Press
Franklin Roosevelt comes right out and blames
Hoover for the depression.
Blaming Hoover for the depression was such old
stuff six months ago that wiser Democrats than
Roosevelt had already decided to laff off that nom
sense as they found it reacting in Hoover's
favor
Roosevelt might nave gone a step further and
blamed Hoover for Americas getting into the World
War, which Democratic President did get us into
after being elected promise that he was going
to keep us out of it.
Roosevelt goes back through Hoover's state
ments on business conditions and charges Hoover
with not having warned the country that the crash
was coming.
Great!
And if any President of the United States had
ever issued SUCH a warning, what would have hap
pened. business would have crashed without any
cushion at all to land on Any President who would
have made such statement would have been worse
than TOOL at a theatre yelling Fire"
Al Smith would never have made such a tricky
speech as Roosevelt made at Columbus he would
have too high regard for the facts. He would have
had political sense enough to remember that thu

Assailing the President and offering nothing for

generalties is not craftsmanship 1t is cheap poll

WAR DEBTS AND TARIFFS
CWashington D. C. Post)

washington D. c. PoSt)
Considerable interest has been manifested in that
part of Gov. Roosevelts address in which he advo-
Gated reduction of American tariff rates so that
European nations could pay their debts in goods
The problem thus raised has many ramifcations
that may lead into difficulties. It is of prime impor-
lance that few basic facts be set down a back
ground against which public opinion may be formed.
In normal year imports of merchandise into
the United States valued at than 81 100000
000 It is true that during 1881 the value of i'm
ports shrunk to $2091 10000 but this does not
that the import business has been seriously inter-
rupted Much of the loss in the value" of import
trade is represented by decline of 3S per cent in
the prices of imported merchandise A return to
normal does not require lowering of the protective
tariff, but only restoration of commodity prices and
economic activity.
Imports from Europe to the United States in a
normal year amount to about $1,250OO0O00 The an
nual payments the debts total about $25OOOO,-
900. In other words, Europe sells to America five
times as much as she pays on the war debts in q
normal year.
Another statistical approach to the problem is
worthy of note. In a normal year American factor
les create goods valued at about Agri
cultural crops valued at $12 100000, mineral
products at about $6OOOO0OO00. Many industries in
each of these three divisions entirely dependent
upon the protective tariff for their existence Would
there be justification of impairing the economic
structure which produces such enormous amounts of
wealth each year to make the collection of $25OOO
100000 easier?
Much of the competition which American work.
ing hen have to meet at present comes from the
Orient. Japan is industrialized and has become a
formidable competitor in many industrial lines Be-
fore the World War only about Is per cent of
American imports came from Asia. Now nearly %
cent of those imports direct from the Orient.
Labor is much cheaper in Japan than it is in Europe
Consequently, if the tariff were lowered with view
to allowing European debtor nations to pay their
debts much of the increased foreign trade would
go to Japan. It is wellknown fact in industrial
circles that most of the high rates in the American
tariff are levied against cheap Oriental goods.
When Gov Roosevelt undertakes to discuss this
subject in detail he will be expected to deal with
these facts.

YELLOWSTONE WONDERS

Sixty years ago Congress set apart 3,575
square miles of land, mostly in northwestern
Wyoming, since known as Yellowstone Ma
tional Park, in order to preserve for poster
ity one of the most wonderful groups of ma
tural phenomena in the world.
The park is situated on mountainous
plateau from six to eight thousand feet above
sea level with many high peaks of volcanic
origin, but now extinct. There are several
lakes, the largest being Yellowstone Lake,
about 10 by 20 miles in extent and lying 7,741
feet above sea level The falls and canyon of
the Yellowstone River are among the most
spectacular and beautiful to be found any
where.
Of paramount interest to many are the
geysers, about 100 in number-more than
exist in all the rest of the world. Most of
these spout water and steam, others spout
thick mud. Excelsior geyser is the largest,
flowing 1000 gallons of boiling water min
ute and throwing great column of water
and steam 100 to $50 feet high at irregular
intervals. Old Faithful geyser discharges a
column $50 feet high every ga to 65 minutes,
amounting to million and half gallons at
each eruption.
Good roads and modern conveniences
for the comfort and pleasure of visitors are
to be found in the park, which annually at
tracts great number of tourists. Hunting
is forbidden, but fishing is permitted. The
park is one of the greatest wild bird and ami
NAL preserves in the world.
1t was with excellent foresight that this
wonderful region was dedicated to public use
by Congress as the first of our national parks
of which there are now %.

the picture received the active Co
operation of Brigadier General
Gignalliat, commandant of the

institution.
In preparing the scenario George
Green, author of the story, went to

Rainey:

We cannot undertake a tax bill

tating taxes If they can avoid it,"
Smell Stands Firm
He said one source Of revenue
would be to lay heavier taxes on
lower incomes, but added he did
not favor this plan.
Smell reiterated his declaration
that the Democrats never in

additional funds.
