STATE TRADE BARRIERS

A short time ago the National Con-
ference on Interstate Trade Barriers
met at Chicago. Some 400 delegates
from 43 states attended, including Gov
errors, Commissioners, Secretaries of
Agriculture, etc.
State trade barriers have generally
been established for one of two rea-
sons-first, need of additional state
revenue secondly, the demand of pres
sure groups wishing to get rid of out
side competition. AS Governor Stark
of Missouri observed in a keynote
speech, these barriers, in effect, pro-
vide a subsidy for organized minorities,
and ultimately are disastrous to bust
ness.
The conference unanimously APP
proved a resolution holding that "the
taxing power of the states not be uti-
lized to effect disch Limitations or to eff
feet barriers to interstate commerce.
Another resolution, also unanimously
adopted state that "any law, any reg
u~lation, or any ordinance of ny state,
county or municipality that is punitive
to any store Or any other legitimate
distributing agency of any wholesome
agricultural or horticultural product
is a trade barrier to the extent that
it hinders or hampers free and orderly
marketing, detrimental to both the
producer and the consumer"
In too many cases the trade barrier
has been used to an extreme, and has
artificially forced up the cost of neces-
sites to the consumer while narrowing
the market of the producer and manu-
f%acturer. In effect, these barriers are
tariffs-which, made stiff enough, can
amount to virtual embargoes on the
produce of neighboring states. -
The trade barrier falls into the same
category as punitive tax laws directed
against certain businesses, legalized
p~ricefixing, etc. Such laws may be of
temporary benefit to a minority. But
they do lasting harm to the interests
of the great majority, and principally
the family of small means, to which the
budget problem is a pressing issue No
genuine public good can come from pre-
venting honest, open competition in
any field of endeavor.

IN POLITICS

In an article on the IVA and the
recene Congressional report concern
ing its policies, DR.. Lewis Haney, Pro-
fessor of Economics, at New York
University, makes this observation:
"There are two main questions: l. Is
the Federal Government suited to run
a business? z. Does the mixture OF pow
err production with flood control, etc.,
make a good power 'yardstick.'
'The IVA was put over (and its con-
stitutionality was defended) on the
ground that it would aid navigation,
control floods and prevent soil erosion.
The production, sale and delivery of
electric power were distinctly incident
al. The power was regarded as a by
product.
"And the power IS a hy-product. This
means that it is produced without di-
rect regard to what it costs, and that
its cost cannot be accurately deter
mined. Under the best system of &C
counting, it would be impossible to
find out precisely what is costs to pro-
duce a kilowatt of IVA electric pow
err. 1t would be impossible to, know
how much of the total IVA costs are
chargeable to navigation, flood control,
etc., etc. Under political management,
we can be fairly sure that the proper
ton of costs charged to power will be
too low"
More than the IVA is involved here.
A precisely similar situation obtains,
to a greater or lesser degree, with ev-
cry one of the hydro-electric projects
with which the government is blanket
ing the country. 1t is argued that
Grand Coulee is primarily an irriga-
ton development, and that power is
incidental. 1t is argued that Bonnie
vile is primarily a navigation develop
ment, and that power production is
incidental. 1t is argued that Boulder
Dam is primarily a flood control de-
velopment, and that power is incident
al. And SO the power is sold at a price
that, in view of the most competent
engineers, is below cost of production
if all costs are honestly figured, and
the taxpayers hold the sack.
Mr.. Haney suggests that the IVA
should be taken entirely out of poll
tics, and Should produce no more pow
er than required to use its plants eco
nomically, and should sell its incident
al electric power at wholesale for pri-
vate distribution" That is sound and
fair-and what is sound and fair for
IVA is sound and fair for the other
projects.
At present, power" is in politics neck
deep-and just taking it out would i'm
measurably level the road to recovery.

,McKechnie Has Chance
To Gain Revenge
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
QnArtal Tprre NM, a Ant ~ rfst = d&.s


NEW YORK. Oct. S tNA.NA).-
Bill McKechnie. who has covered
more ground winning three pen
nants than any other manager
Pittsburgh, rs; st. Louis, 20, and
Cincinnati. 39-is having his Sec
,ond whirl at Yankee team in
World Series. His Cardinal team in
1928 tangled with the Yankees, too
and was hammered out of action in
four straight games.
When this series is over win or
lose, Bill may be able to furnish
line on the main differences, If any,
between the current Yankees and
the much-talked-about Yankees of
1927. The team that ran him down
In 1928 was, of course, the team that
had hit its peak the year before.
1t wasn't quite as good as 1t was in
'27. Some of the Older players were
beginning to wear out. Other play
ers had been hard hit by injuries.
In the closing weeks of the Ameri-
can League season the odor of tine
lures, ointments and liniments was
strong in the Yankee dressing room
and the demand for gauze and tape
was heavy

The World Series, however. saw
the last great effort of one of the
greatest teams-possibly the great

The Yankees strapped themselves
together and hobbled out and beat
a very good Cardinal team. Babe

Lou Gehrig hammered the ball hard.

the Yanks faded and their grip on

hurt McKechnie badly, however.
They cost Bill his job in st. Louis
and drove him to the minor leagues.

ager was fired before the next season
rolled around.
That blow, plus the humiliation 1t
brought with it. would have ruined
less resolute character. But Bill
fought his way back, regained the
management of the Cardinals and,
having vindicated himself, quit and
went to Boston.
1t isn't likely that he bears any
grudge against the Yankees. In the
first place, they ground him down
impersonally and, in the second
place, these Yankees he is opposing
now aren't the same Yankees. But
if memory of that 1928 disaster
rankles within him now and then,
this is his chance to get even.
Generally Quiet But He Con
Crock q Wicked Whip
This sometimes dour Pittsburgh
Scot is one of the most interesting
figures baseball ever has developed.
Generally he is quiet and cheerful
and easy going. But he can pull a
long face when he wants to and he
can snap and snarl and he is hard
and tenacious fighter. A man of
wide ability. he has had numerous
opportunities to quit baseball, but
even when things we're darkest for
him, he stuck, because baseball is in
his blood and he wouldn't be happy
doing anything else but managing a
ball club.
AS manager his place among the
leaders is secure. His main gift is
that of taking the players other
managers have had but couldn't win
with and giving them the touch that
puts them over the crest. The
Pirates couldn't win for George Glib
son in 1925, but McKechnie took
them over and won with them. He
took Cardinal team that had
finished second under Bob OFarrell
in 1927 and won with it in 1928. The
Reds now battling in the World
Series very largely were put together
by Charley Dresser, but McKechnie
had to go to Cincinnati to give them
the touch that made them cham
pions.
