It provided that for six months the rai -| roads should be guaranteed a “fair return” on) nd L this guarantee expired September 1, 1920. Since | that time railroads have been going “on their own.” The United States has neither guaranteed them any income nor paid them a cent for oper- ation since that date. | Conclusive proof of this, if it were needed, is furnished by the tecords of the inter-state com- merce commission, which show the following facts. ; During the last four months of 1920 the rail-| roads actually earned 0,583,878. This is $205, 833,212 short of being per cent of a fair re- turn on their valuation. During the calendar year 1921 54% per cent | return on their valuation would have been $1,-} 108,297,080. They actually earned $615,945,614, or $492,331,466 less than 514 per cent. During the calendar year 1922 their actual net) income was $308,140,333 less than the 5%4 per cent. From January 1 to August 1 of this year their net income was $23,347,956 less than 544 per cent. To recapitulate during the 35 months period— September 1, 1920, to Angust 1, 1923— during which the railroads have been on their own ba- sis, their net income has been 41,029,672,983 less than 514 per cent on their valuation. British Tariff Situation At this time it appears decidedlly as if the) ple of Great Britain will be called upon in| percieben to vote upon the question of protec- tion as against free trade. Many prominent men, aside from Mr. Baldwin, the prime minister have taken up the cudgels for protection among) them Lord Birkenhead, who lately visited this country. For several centuries prior to 1846 the British nation was committed to protection, but in that year the “Corn Laws” were repealed, largely on} necount of the activities of Richard Cobden and! his associates. The provisions of the corn laws} varied from time to time. Part of the time the importation of foodstuffs was forbidden, whil. at other times they were subject to a high im- port duty. The theory of Cobden and his followers was that, by admitting raw material free of duty and lowerlag wages to the lowest possible fig- ure, Great Britain would be enabled to build up and maintain a great export trade. A great ex- port trade was in fact, built up, but at the ex- pense of British agriculture and labor. The great manufacturers became greater and richer, while the poorer classes became still poorer. In brief, the prosperity of the manufacturing classes was built up at the expense of the work- ingmen and the farmers. Those classes are be-| ginning to realize this and it is doubtless that fact which prompts Mr. Baldwin to risk a vote| on such short notice as appears likely to be} given. In the United States we would not think of holding an election on so important a subject without a longer campaign to give both sides a chance for full discussion. The effect which the tariff of 1922 has had upon employment and prosperity in this country will be dwelt upon by British protectionists. It will be shown that protection turned six million idle American | workmen into six million workmen busily em-| ployed at good wages, and that it given | an impetus to all productive enterprises and all | classes of business. This the British have ob served and will profit by. They have an object lesson in our experience which will speak more | convincingly than any arguments which can be made by campaign speakers Protection will win in Great Britain because it has vindicated itself in the United States.

Since the close of the war, no one has talked longer or louder of the due the ex-service man than such Demo- it may be expected those and others from the solid south” will renew their vociferation| soldier. It is just as well to set down the fact that the Democratic “solid south” does not care anything about the ex-service man, if legislation is any index of feeling. In the states of the “solid| south” where the Democrats have absolute and exclusive control of everything, and have had, there has been nothing done for ex-service men worthy of the name. Alabama, the home of Tom Heflin, Senator Underwood and Representative Huddleston, has done one thing for the World War vetera™.—it has exempted him from the payment of a statc license fee to practice medicine! That is all. Mississippi, the home of Pat Harrison, has done three things. Anticipating that sometime the federal goverhment under a Republican ad- ministration would be more keenly appreciative of the patriotism of ex-service men than Missis sippi, it provided for a board of control which should take care of any money received by te ate of Miss ppi from the United States for the care of ex-service men. [t has done rothi else, with the two minor exceptions of pa a law providing that ex-service 1en could have their official discharges recorded free at their county seats and one protecting the American Legion emblem. Arkansas enacted a law making Armistice day a state holi and appropriated $10,000 to maintain a state war memorial building. It has also appropriated $10,000 for prosecution of dis- ability claims. Florida provides ex-service men may have their certificates of discharge recorded free by the clerks of courts and has a law for the pro- lection of the American Legion emblem. Georgia has enacted legislation which permits ex-service men to become peddlers in that state without paying a license! It also exempts them from payment of road and poll taxes during the time they were in service. Like Mississippi, Dem- ocratic Georgia anticipated the federal govern- created a state bureau, the purpose of which is ice men regarding federni legislation and assist them to obtain their rights under federal laws. Louisiana passed a law protecting the Ameri- can Legion emblem and one recording free the certificates of discharge of any ex-service man. The North Carolina legislature has authorized out of which ex-service men may be loaned not to exceed $3,000 for the purpose of acquiring homes. This will be submitted to a referendum of the people in the general elections in 1924. It has also created a board which will co-oper- ate with the ex-service man in the securing of South Carolina exempts ex-service men hold- ing state normal school scholarships from their coligation to teach for two years in the state men may uttend any state college without hav- ing to pay tuition. Texas protects the American Legion emblem | provides for the free recording of certificates of discharge, suspended all statutes of limita-| tion for 12 months after the discharge of an ex-| Tt has long been the opinion of Republicans! that the league of nations question is settled so far as the United States is concerned. It has been the desire of Republicans to drop the snb- ject from discussion and to concentrate public attention upon live and vital issues of domestic importance. But, finding themselves without any | other possible issue upon which to make a cam- paign, the Democratic leaders recently staged a greeting to former-President Wilson on which occasion he once more discussed the subje making it, apparently, the paramount icsue the campaign of 192f. Much as Republicans de plore the revival o issue that ought to be dead, they will not evade it. In this connection it is imteresting to note service man in case of debt and gives him the} right to vote without the payment of his poll tax. Virginia protects the American Legion em- blem. It appropriated $1,000 to collect historical data pertaining to ex-service men of Virginia and authorized the officials of any county seat or town to appropriate money up to a certain sum for the erection of memorials to ex-sery-| ice men.
