Importers of foreign merchandise are not going to be able to jockey the permanent tariff law as they no doubt have heen preparing to do. That is, not if ust be paiu in advance and the not insure delivery efter subscrip- month in arrears. * Mr. Longworth can prevent it, by, the resolution he has ae introduced which provides that the ways and means committee “when reporting a bill which imposes any new customs duties on commodities, may in its dis- cretion, incorporate in such a bill an emergency clause declaring that the safeguarding of the public revenue requires the immediate taking effect of any or all such new customs duties.” Meaning that the duties in the bill as it becomes a law shall relate back to the date of the introduction of the measure. The purpose of such legislation is plain. It is to prevent the importation of vast cargoes of cheaply manufactured foreign goods before the general tariff is passed, which would result in a period of depres- sion in domestic industries as well'as an immense loss of revenue to the government. For instance, during the interval of five months -elapsing between the reporting of the revenue bill of 1897 the protective measure superseding the Wilson- Gorman free trade act, and the date of its effective ness, imports valued at $243,000,000 came in. The » difference between the, revenue secured from these imports at the rates actually in force in the law of 1894 and the revenue that would have accrued at the rates of the act of 1897 had these been in-effect was Soproxicoately $74,000,000, ¢ Payne-Aldrich revision was taken uptin Novem- ber, 1908, following the elections, and was passed in August, 1909. During the eight months of that year, January-August, imports totaled $948,000,000 com- pered with $700,000,000 for the same eight months of Eo previous year, or an increare of over 35 per cent. During the campaign of 1910 there wes a great deal of loose talk indulged in charging the Repub- lican party with having been false to its platform pledges in that it had revised the tariff upward in- stead of downward, as it was alleged had been prom- ised. That the foreign importers had read no such promise into the 1908 platform is evidenced by the fact that, comparing the first eight months of 1908 with the similar period of 1909 imports of bread- stuffs increased 36 per cent, chemicals 33’ per cent, copper 54 per cent, cotton manufactures 25 per cent. precious stones nearly 400 per cent, fiber manufac- tures 20 per cent, hides 90 per cent, iron and steel manufactures 40 per cent, leather goods 48 per cent, silk manufactures 30 per cent, vegetables 80 per cent, wood manufactures 30 per cent, and manufactures of wool 40 per cent, imports of raw wool increasing from $15,000,000 to $41,000,000. The importers were lay- ing in supplies and beating the bill to the ports. Conversely, there was a falling off of imports when the present Wilson-Underwood act was in course of becoming law. It was khown, of course, that the Democrats would adopt low rates of duty and great- ly extend the free list, consequently the importers held up shipments to this country until the measure beeame effective and they could take advantage of the reduced customs duties. Contracts are taken care of under the Longworth resolution by a provision, that any person who, prior to the date determined for the enforcement of the rates, shall have entered into a contract to deliver any article is, “authorized and empowered to edd to the contract price of such article so much money as will be equivalent to the duty subsequently imposed,” and he shall be entitled to be paid and to sue accordingly.

For several years we heard little else on railroad matters than the brotherhood’s side of the case. It A Democratic congress and a frightened ters. They did fix them. Only too well, Not only at that particular time, but at subsequent times and by subsequent legislation the railroads were fixed out of business. c The country is now coming to see what has been done to the transportation lines by the agitation of the past, and in this Mr. Kruttschnitt of the Southern Pacific has been largely instrumental in pointing out. The government has adopted two methods of lim- iting railroad rates; one, that of requiring that rates be approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission. and the other that of providing cheap transportation competition on publicly improved and maintained wa- terways and highways. Hedged around by all these handicaps and limitations and also required to pay wages fixed by a government board, the railroads be- lieve themselves to be, figuratively speaking, between the devil and the deep’ blue sea. The people will not ask that the railroads be sub- jected to limitations or regulations that they would deem unfair if imposed upon themselves or their busi- ness. In practically every city, for example, munic- ipal ordinances require that a street peddler pay a license in order to make up for the fact that he transacts his business on the public streets, maintained at public expense, whereas the merchant must pay rent. The government bears the expense of improv- ing rivers and harbors. It bore the expense of build- ing thé Panama canal. Now it is proposed that the railroads, which must pay interest and dividends on the capital they have invested, shall be required to compete with ocean and river traffic which pays none of the cost of improving the rivers and harbors.. The public pays the expense of ‘improving the highways and keeping them in passable condition, and, sult, commercial automobile trucks are now han a large amount of short-haul traffic at prices which the railroads cannot meet. It is quite likely that the merchant who believes the peddier should be required to pay a license for the privilege of selling his goods on the public thor- oughfares, will see some reason for the argument that commercial trucks, and steamships should pay some special toll for the use of publically maintained highways and waterways. To say that the railroads should be able to meet the completion, is not an answer. Undoubtedly they could meet it, if left to theirs own resources in the fixing of rates and the payment of wages. This they are not permitted to do. .The Intestate Commerce Commission determines how much they may charge for either a local or a transcontinental haul. The railroad labor board determines how much they shall pay to their employes, who take the greater part of railroad income. Still another illustration on the point. If a por- tion of the land of a community were owned by the government, the fences maintaiied, the ditches kept cloared, the buildings kept in repair and the taxes paid by the government, and these lands let out rent free to a number of agriculturists, the rest of the farmers of that community would insist that this was unfair competition. If they were subjected to such competition they would undoubtedly be inclined to the view that the untaxed water and highway com- petition of the railroads is unfair to them, §*> for ing E. are Sy aE ain NEW FORM OF INSURANCE, 5 Enterprising insurance companies have invaded about every field of risk wherein a bet can be placed; but it remained for a French company to present the financial matters.

One having consider- able merit so far as France is concerned. It is an insurance against marriage. Thére are at the pres- ent time a great many more marriageable womeh: in France than there are men, due in part to the war, and the probabilities are that thousands of the sur- plus women will never have the opportunity to marry. To these the insurance policy doubtless is attractive because in form it is an old age pension directly in line with present day practices of providing for old age through pensions and insurance. In brief the plan is, a girl of sixteen or over is in- sured for a small premizm daily against failure to marry. If she reaches the sze of thirty-five and has no husband she is then vptitled to monthly dividends equal to the average support a husband would supply.} The government, however, threatens to suppress the activities of such insurance concerns upon the ground of discouragement of marriage, and consequent fail- ure to increase population, besides the tendency to race suicide, and general destruction of home life. MiG See eins LO IN WAR AND PEACE. | During the war, says the Globe, Jude Johnson of Atchison, was a pacifist. “War is a sin,” he cried. “The swords should be beaten into ploughshares.” But now that the war is over Jude refuses to follow a ploughshare. Three farmers offered him jobs the other day and he described his rheumatism to them in detail. —_—_—__o—______ All we have to do this spring and summer is to clean up, paint up, swat the fly and kill the rat.
