A fight is being made in the present congress to revolutionize our method of levying ad valorem tariff taxes. In the past, these taxes have been based upon th. cost of the goods in the country of origin, as fixed by the consular invoices. It is now proposed to base the tax upon the average value of the imported com- modity, in America, as fixed by the open market, where such goods are ordinarily sold or offered for sale in the usual wholesale quantities. It is intended that such valuation shall be fixed by the actual and fair market value of the goods in the United States, independently of any artificial fluctuations. This plan, called American valuation, has the sup- port of such experts as Secretary Hoover, Customs Judge Marion De Vri and a multitude of represen- tative American business men at the head of large in- dustries. A little thought will show the justice and feasibility of the plan. » Granting that the object of a protective tariff is protect local industry against unfair competition of cHeap foreign labor, and that the object of any tariff tax should be to, give equal treatment to all similar imports of whatever origin, it will readily be seen that A™nerican valuation is the qnly fair plan. If a certain article can be made in Germany for $1, and in Eng- land for $2, and the ad valorem tariff tax is 30’ per cent, the German article would pay 30 cents tax, while the identical English article would pay 60 cents tax. There is no justice in that. It discriminates in favor of the countries mit. the cheapest labor and the Jess period than most depreciated mJffy, exactly in proportion to that differential. Thus, more stable country suffers, not only the penalty of its own stability, but also the penalty of a higher tariff tax. It has been pointed out that this, in’ reality, con- stitutes a violation of some of our internationa! treat- " fes. Some nations have treaties with us containing the “most favored nation” clause. This mans that the treatment guaranteed to that country in any met- ter of interpreting our laws, shall be as favorable as that which is granted to the most fayored nation in that respect. Under such a treaty, England would have a right to claim as low a tax on her imports a: that applied to similar imports from Germany, or any- where else. This certainly would be just, but it-would create interminable confusion under the present ad valorem plan. It would turn the whole system into 08. The chief argument that has been advanced against American valuation is by importers,- who cla'm that it would deprive them of any certain method of esti- mating their tax_in advance, and thus reduce their busin to a gamble. While there is some merit in that argument, it is not sufficient to outweigh the obvious advantages of the other plan. This plan is fair, not only/to Amer- jean business interests, but also to all importers, as it places them on the same basis. The tax, in other = words, would be fixed by definitely ascertained local = conditions, and not by different and varying foreign conditions. x — STYLES IN LETTER WRITING. There is a wide difference in both style and sub- ject matter in letter writing; and there is opportun- ity to contrast both in letters written by President Zisrding and Former President Wilson. Take the Wil- son letter of 1918, on the eve of the congressional elections in which he begged the people to return nothing but Democratic members in order to uphold his then rapidly waning power, compare it with the plain manly communication written by Mr. Harding to be used in the senatorial contest in New Mexico. Senator Harrison of Mississippi, who seems to be the new leader of. the Democrats in ‘congress, c! that President Harding’s letter setting for the ac- complishments of the administration is similar in. ef- fect to the letter which’ Mr. Wilson sent out in 1918. But there are several important dierences. Let it be admitted that Harding’s letter was written to help i: senatorial election in New Mexico. It was a po- litical letter. It is just ech a letter as any president might properly write in ordinary times. But the Wilson letter was not written in ordinary times. Mr. Wilson had, but a few weeks before is- sued a declaration, that “politics is adjourned.” We were in the midst of war and he had called upon all citizens to lay aside partisanship and unite in the ef- fort to win. Republicans acquiesced in this, but on the eve of election when ° ~as presumably too late for the Republicans to r- Wilson issued his infa- mous appeal for election Democratic congress as an expression of confidence n him and in his leader- ship\when peace negotiations should be taken up. The result was defeat for the Dentocratic candidates and the election of a Republican majority in the house, Senator Harrison knows this, and knows that there is no similarity between the Harding letter setting forth the Republican record, with the appeal for votes, and the Wilson letter, appealing for votes but not set- ting forth the record. a THE PUBLIC’S SERVANT. ‘The Lander Mountaineer expresses surprise that the Tribune dares criticise the administration of its own party servants. If Republicans were perfect there would be no occasion for censure. While they have always been a great improvement over the Democratic article, still any failure or shorte ng falls below the standard set for them and consequent- ly is a disappointment. The only method a newspaper a to correct errors and restore standards of excel- lence is to publicly point out faults. As a usual thing Republicans are responsive and readily apply the cure; so that the people get the benefit during the life of an administration. With the Democ?ats it is entirely different. The only known way to improve a Democratic regime as taught by experience, is to retire it from power, where it has no opportunity for further harm. There is no hope of reform in it while in office. It is not treason to your party to speak sharply to your own party members about the things they are doing, which are considered wrong; but it is treason > the Perrle rere from performing this duty’ their behalf, when you have knowl of : that should be corrected. md! Naty The Tribune’s notion of a partisan newspaper is one that takes pride in its party, knows its principles and preaches its doctrine, does its part in keeping its record clean and its leadership faithful to the public interest. One that declines to take orders from any official holding office by the grace of the votes of the party membership. One that does its own thinking and speaking and is unafraid to express its own honest opinion. yoni does not consider toadying a necessary qualification to pa membership and good pms party ip A self-respecting newspaper owes a higher duty to the public than it possibly can to its party. The party Das 1 $32| is the instrument through which benefits are brought to the people. It is not to be employed as a means to confer advantage or profit upon itself or its indi- viduals except in a purely incidental way. The pub- lie by its support of the newspaper constitutes it its defender and champion against encroachment upon rights and privileges enjoyed and guaranteed. When a public newspaper sets itself up to become merely the mouthpiece of a party or an organization, and to serve purely selfish interest, it does not ful- fill its public mission nor serve the owners of all things public—the people. eg seenee JUDGED BY THE FRUITS. “Sensationalism in the pulpit is, after all, to be judged not cn general principles but by concrete pur-|, poses and resulis,” says the New York Post. “If Dr. John Roach Straton is so inclined, he can go as far back 3s he pleases in ecclesiastical and pre-ecclesias- tical history and cite the case of preachers who shock- ed their congregation, often for the good of the audi- tors. But that is just the question. What is the good accomplished in this specific’instance by what some of the critics describe as pulpit vaudeville? “There is a fairly simple test.. If extreme methods in the pulpit serve to call attention to what would otherwise pass unnoticed, then sensationalism is jus- tified. If extravagance in the pulpit only ‘calls at- tention’ to what everybody knows and reads in his newspaper, the nervous shock administered to the worshippers is hardly worth the trouble. “That would seem to be the case with Dr. Straton. He lifts his topics out of the sensational columns of the press. Perhaps his gifts of eloquence may add to the pictures drawn by the reporters and the photog- raphers, but that is not always likely in view of the space and devotion which the papers can bring to the Dempsey-Carpentier fight or the Arbuckle story. Half a dozen years ago, when a tide of life-in-the-raw drama broke on Broadway, the managerial-apologists made a strong plea that it is better to speak out about vice than to‘hush it up. They overlooked the very simple argument that the theater was only serving up a rehash of the crime reports in the newspapers. The public would. have known just as much about what was going on in the underworld without the aid of the drama of rescue and uplift. “This is the main objection to Dr. Straton. He sup- ‘Viiesegnsation ‘without supplying news. He refuses A) leave unsaid what is being said elsewhere all the me.” een any LEFT WITHOUT ANY. Speaking of moral codes. We conducted the so- cial affairs of the world for some considerable stretch of years, with a double barreled standard. .One style of morals for men and another and a better one for women. Anomalous as it may seem immoral msn with a lax standard constituted himself the protectoi, defender and general supervisor of women who ad- hered to. a higher standard, and the world was better snd woman was perfect. We made her the equal of the angels and defiec anybody to harm a hair of her head or say an unkind word of her. A pretty fair arrangement for a lot of sad old dogs, like men gen- erally. Things were going fine. We could go out and step a bit and know that the lullabys would be regularly and properly chanted at eventide\ That the- castle was safe from molestation and that all men acknowl- edged and respected its sacredness. Along came William Jennings Bryan and others and along came “votes for women” and demands for a perfect equality, a single standard of morality and that old and perfectly tested ideals be abolished. It all came to pass, as you well know and look at the result. The double standard of morality was par- alyzed and we are left without any morality at all. And what are you going to do about it? of ety THE LADY OF THE HOUSE. “The word ‘lady’ traced back to the Anglo-Saxon, notes the Philadelphia Ledger, “means ‘bread-knea er.’ The derivation sings the tune of the old couple’ When Adam delved and Eve span, Who then was the gentleman? “In labor circles in Germany there is considerable tcw-rowing’at present over the question of the status of the housewife from a labor union viewpoint, “The National ‘Association of German Housewives has asked the Prussian parliament to accord it for- mal recognition as a labor union; but the petitioning body does not specify whether the nousewives are em- ployers or employes; and so the petition is rejected. “The women have been unabl: to agree among them- selves as to whether the woman who does her own work is an employer or an employe. As a matter of fact, she is both. She employs herself. And any woman who has ‘the housewifely instinct and takes pride in the proper regulation of her houshold will always be doing something that a hireling could not do, even if she is rich enough to have a housekeeper and a large retinue of maids and men.” ———_—_o—___—_—_. THEY MEET IN OMAHA. “East and west blend in Omaha,” says the Philadel- phia Ledger. “Men in derby hats and vici kid shoes, and men in broad-brimmed imitation beaver hats and cowhide boots are found side by side on street and in hotel lobby. The derby-hat persons are real. Those in broad-brimmed hats are imitation cowboys. They are straight-legged as any easterner, while an honest- to-goodnets cowpuncher from the range ought to be as bow-legged as was the late lamented Nicholas, king of Mofttenegro. “There’s some of the old west left in the region be- tween the Missouri and the Rockies, but the farm is crowding the range more and more, and the honest-to- goodness cowboy is fading away. The romance of the old days, however, leads not a few stockyard rust- lers and cow valets to affect all the airs and manners of the hardy spirits who ‘rode with the herd.’” ee THEY ARE AT THE: MOVIES. ~ The Chicago News asks: “What has. become of the 5 8 { | i i i é i i ; i i iH ul Pale ies? tlt ie gr that turned back for fear of breaking his back trying to negotiate the bumps.

Many French dressmakers were rep- -esented. Variety ‘was featured in the three- niece suits in both materials and de- ign. For instance, a model of Callot ouge and black georgette mounted over black georgette satin favored: the seven-eighths length coat. The bodice af the model was straight and lons- vaisted with skirt part made circular nd flaring from.the hips. A’ deep thaw! collar of flying squirrel added rehness to the costume. A unique misthod of trimming was ntroduced in the bodice and sleeves of the dress of this costume, It was of one-quarter inch picot. edge® black and silver ribbon sewed on in zigzag design ‘and large scroll motifs -which from a distance gave the tmpression of embroidery. The Callot rouge scorgette was set in strips running over the shou’der and down the length of the sleeve with this ribbon as a connecting trimming to the body of the-garment, which was black.

"In this creation’ a short flaring jacket and-straight nar- row skirt were the dominating fedt- ures, The fulness of the coat was ac- centuated in the method of, trimming, which was developed in small. cross- stitch squares of red wool with a center of black radiating in two-inch stripes from the collar to the hem ‘The hem of:the straight narrow skirt of this costume was slashed and bound with a narrow band of red reorgette. , Stl another variation of the three- piéce sult was noted in a Lanvin model of gray broadcloth with thx coat in straight-line effect and hip tength.
