their wages we're much higher
than the prevailing wage in the
south; as cents an hour for I'M

that time workers on state high

paid as little S a dollar for a 10

Next, work was steady and the

FINALLY, living costs were cheap

The men who wanted to live at

Half of the houses-the higher

The town has oiled streets, wa

THIS, of course, puts still
l. greater burden on the man
at the helm of the New Deal.
With tremendous majorities in
both houses of congress, with I'M
equivocal support voted by the
people, with a precedent for ac-

hard to follow, Roosevelt faces a
real test.
The next two years may be his
hardest.
indicative of this are some big
question marks uppermost in mid
western minds. OF these probably
the two biggest and most signi-
ficant are:
l. Is the government going to
continue its program Of enormous
expenditure? If not, what will the
midwest do? If so, where is the
money coming from?
2. Is Roosevelt going to continue
strict regulation of big business?
Or is he-as indicated by his
speech before the American Bank
ers AsSociation-noW out for
honeymoon between the New Deal
and big business?
Upon the answers to these
questions will depend the at
titude Of the midwest when it

ministration two years hence.

Most of the state utility COM
miSSioners are in Washington for
their annual meeting. They
studied the report with keenest
interest. At the same time they
listened to a solemn warning from
Chairman Frank R. McNinch Of
the federal power commission,
that results, not promises, must
be Forthcoming if the principle
of regulation is TO survive.
Frank P. Walsh, chairman of
the power authority, has said he
sees no reason why regulating
bodies in each s-ate-and in each
city-can not proceed at once, on
the basis of New York's study, to
require a general lowering Of

Such action, he believes. will
increase the business of private
companies and their revenues, as
well as saving hundreds of mil
lions of dollars annually to con-
sumers. 1t will increase by 1884,

elected in a meeting at the Clay

 The early church. however, found it not difficult to present the fact and truth of the Resurrection without offending too much the formulas of pagan days.

The Case Against Tariffs.
(Cincinnat1 Enquirer.)

In very mild manner but with a devastating array of facts, Dr. Sumner Slichter, of Harvard University, told group of Cincinnati business men some things about tariffs Friday that ought to be more widely realized Showing how creditor na- tion such the United States cannot expect to collect interest and principal it's vast invest ments abroad save by receiving merchandise from foreign countries he warned that only by decisive tariff reductions foreign trade be brought into balance.
 One point especially of Dr. slichter's address merits careful attention. To receive larger quan- titles of goods from abroad, he said, would not decrease in any way the purchasing power available here for consumption of domestic products. We can take that money in goods, write it off as a loss. If we accept goods we send no money goods abroad but merely take goods in payment of debts. The purchasing power in this country is not affected and still is used to buy the products of American farms and factories
 Dr. Sichters analysis of the sugar tariff is an excellent example of how deceive ourselves in this question We not well fitted to raise sugar ourselves. By imposing very high tariff, we have protected a feeble domestic industry, which exists only by importation of Mexican labor We pay in import duties sugar something like $125, 100000 year to the Government In excessive prices for sugar pay another $90OO000O to main tain a domestic sugar industry which is not eff cent compared with Cuba and other tropical countries.
 If we want domestic sugar industry, pr. Slichter points out, could subsidze it by paying a direct bounty for production, and do much more cheaply than through tariff protection. Sugar lis but one of many commodities which are protecting through tariffs at great social loss. Indeed, there duties 25O commodities Iof which produce less than l per cent of our needs. To impose duties on these commodities and raise their prices to the consumer, in order to protect infintesmal industries, is a public policy with no justification whatever
