He is different from Wil- liam Gibbs McAdoo who would reduce the tax) load and p: the bonus at the some time but| could not explain where he would get the money to do all this. John Philip Hill knows the exact source to tap to get the kale and after you learn what it is you will readily agree it is a produc- tive source. * John Philip Hill has a bill entitled “a bill to pay adjusted compensation in three years to veterans of the World War, to provide money to ay such adjusted compensation, to amend the} Revenge Act of 1921, and for other purposes.” | This measure is even now reposing in the cus tody of the committee on Ways and Means. The main point in John Philip Hill's proposed law centers about the origin of the money which he would distribute to the veterans who carried the flag on the battlefields of Europe, kept it at the mast head upon the high seas and in other and equally honorable ways served the flag at ome. To the Revenue Act of 1921, under the title “Tax on beverages and constituent parts there- of” he wouls add this amendment: “That from and after the passare of this act.the word ‘beer’ means any beverage obtained by the alcoholic fermentation of an intusion or decoetion of bar- ley, malt and hops in drinkable water containing not more than 2.75 per centum of alcohol by vol- ume. That the word ‘cider’ means any beverage obtained by the natural fermentation of apple, or other fruit, vegetable, or herb juices con- taining not more than 2.75 per centum of al- cohol by volume. : “That such beer or cider is hereby defined not to be intoxicating liquor, the manufacture, sale, or transportation of which is prohibited by the eighteenth amendment of the constitution of the Tnited States, but that after the passage of this act said beer or cider may be manufactured for sale in original packages for consumption in homes and places other than the place of sale. “That there shall be levied, assessed, and col- lected on all beer or cider so manufactured a tax of twenty cents per gallon, all moneys so collected to be used solely for the payment of adjusted compensation for veterans of the World War.” There you have it in about the only form; which could successfully sidestep the Eighteenth Globe Bids. | Copies of the Daily’ >| Cumber tariff act was passed, and busine . of a boom. The effect of this |coUnt® of duty. Mr. Mondell has had a violent change of heart with reterence to tariff matters or else there is some other way of accounting for the position he takes contrary to what would seem life long convictions. - The fact.that Mr. Mondell is at present a di- rector of the finance corporation and that this govermment activity has advanced large sums of | money to the growers to raise these cattle in Mexico may explain why he is found in opposi- |tion to established Republican policies and Re- | publican family traditions, | Which Shows Prosperity The car service division of the American Rail- way association reports that for the calendar year 1923, to December 8, the number of cars loaded with revenue freight amounted to 47,422,- 760. For the same period of 1922 and 1921, re- spectively, the loadings were as follows: 1922, 40, 1921, 401.923. These figures are both impressive and illu- minating. In 1920, when the Underwood free- trade tariff was in full force and effect our im- ports from foreign countries reached the as- tounding value of $5,278481,490 or three times the amount of imports at the time the party of 4, 1913. In November, 1920, the American voters ‘elected a protectionist administration, including the executive and the legislative branches by the greatest majority ever known in this or any other country. In 1921 the emergency tariff act was passed by the new administration and busi ness began to improve. In 1922 the Fordney-Mc- s took on the proportions boom is readily discernible in the car loading: of the t year, in comparison with the two} preceding years. There were ten million more cars loaded with revenue freight in 1923 than during 1921. | The reason for this increase in car loadings is increased prosperity. In 1921 our importations had decreased by more than one-half from those of 1920, but more American goods were bought, | sold and transported. In.1922 there were still} more goods of domestic produc\ion, transported, while in 1923 production, sales and transporta- m reached high water mark, all due to the im- position of an adequate protective tariff. Which do the American people prefer—tfree- trade and idleness, or protection, activity and prosperity Markets Away From Home Today the commerce and industry of the world ure undergoing a reorganization only a little less} fundamental in character than that which o¢- curred somewhat more than « century ago at the ginning of the development of modern 1 country. ‘ The competitive advantages of special knowl- edge of processes and superior equipment to- gether with the presence of a skilled labor force only a little while ago possessed by western Europe and the United States, are vanishing. It is no longer economic to haul heavy raw ma- terials and foods thousands of miles to pay for manufactures which can be made where they are to be consumed. The nineteenth century was characterized by a mechanical advance not be- fore paralleled in human history. The present century will witness the industrialization of the tion of Jocal self-sufficiency which the coming of the factory system temporarily disturbed. It is true that the improved standard of living which has resulted from industrial development in new areas in many cases has enlarged the markets for manufactured goods. Exports of manufactures from the leading industrial coun- tries increased rapidly from 1900 to 1914. It does not follow, however, that the demand for imports of manufactures will continue to ex- pand indefinitely and that countries, industries or individual business organizations can safely ignore the industrial development which is tak- ing place. Exports of manufactures from one highly industrialized country to another differ fundamentally in character from exports to a country at an early stage of industrial develop- ment. Trade between the former, unless based on an advantage of raw materials, partakes a good deal of the character of swapping pennies. Such is much of the trade in manufactures be- tween the United States and Canada, or between amendment—the specifying of what is not intox- icating liquor, and the defining of beer and ci- der, the latter term of course including all bev- erages now known as wine. It has been repeatedly claimed that the folks at home took advantage of the absence of the boys away at war and put the Volstead pro- gram over contrary to their wishes. John Philip! Hill presents the only remedy that can possibly | be applied at this stage of the proceedings, it being agreed that any repeal of the Eighteenth amendment is impossible. The veterans of the World War may now have an opportunity to express their desires in the matter, also to in-| dicate their wishes as to whether or not the! source of adjusted compensation is to their} liking. Changing Views The Honorable Carl Hayden, Democratic mem- ber of congress from Arizona, indicates that al- falfa seed needs protection. Those familiar with Arizona know that there is not enough alfalfa in that state to take care of its grazing cattle. Last year numerous of the herds were driven across the border into Mexico where there was} plenty of unused forage for temporary grazing puposes. Since the tariff bill permitted only a six mouths? h cattle, the growers of Arizona, ' ew Mexico asked con- gress to stretch the time to a year. A year, all) agreed would be sufficient. But alfalfa must be fairly scarce dowu in that country, still, for Mr. Hayden now ¢ these cattle to remain in Mexico until ember. It might appear in the light of a reasonable| request on the surfact, but is i Let us s ie offspring of these cattle will be born in Mexico and raised in Mexico, but laugh- tered in the United’States without a tariff duty.| Where is the sense of a tariff duty at all, under such circumstances? It is unfair to catile grow-| rther removed from the border of Mexico n are the growers in Texas, Arizona and New Mex It is discriminating against Mexico i self and every other country compelled to pay duty on cattle they import into t "nite ai r United Mr. Frank W. Mondell, formerly for about!! twenty six years Republican member of congress from Wyoming, and during that time a most ard. ent protectionist now takes sides with the Demo eratic view that these Mexican rai i xican raised American cattle should be allowed to be fully grown in Mexico before comin into the United States free the United Kingdom and Germany, Certain gains are made else the trade would not take place, but trade of this type would never pay for imports of food and raw material for an excess population. If an impenetrable wall were built around the United Kingdom, Belgium, Germany and Holland the resultant trade would not meet, their physical needs. Abil- ity to supply them depends on selling mannfac- tured goods directly or indirectly to countries with raw materials for sale. Such sales can coutinue only so long as the exploitation of nat- ural resources is at a rate rapid cnough to cre- ate a surplus above the needs or the manufac- turing ability of those who work them, and the period during which such surplus will be avail- able will depend on the existence of resources to be exploited and on the national willingness to continue a policy of exploitation. Already there are evidences of narrowing export markets for manufactures. The natural resources of large parts of the world are as yet unexploited and in other vast areas development of them is only in the be- ginning stages. Many physical resources of types ssential to civilization are also very unequally distributed. Some areas, for instance, contain the industrial metals in quantities quite out of pro- portion to their other resources while other 8 are very poor in mincrals. Until the pres- sure of numbers has dri the people of any area to the margin of subsistence, the desire for luxuries which cannot he locally prodiced as a result of climatic or other conditions will serve as an impetus to foreign trade if it is not stimu- lated by necessity. Three is no dotbt that the rapid progres: toward national self-suffi part the result of an ial factor, the acute nationalism which had its origin in the World War. This nationalistic spirit may lose its in- tensity in the course of years.

Why not extend this principle to The salaries of government em- ployes and other administrative ex- penses should be paid without {mpos- ing taxes on the people for that pur- pose. The country shoud keep up its post office system, {ts military and naval establishments, its public build ings all over the country—all .with- out expense to the people. If Mr. McAdoo will run for the Presidency upon the proposition to abolish all taxes and give pensions to everybody, he will undoubtedly sweep the country.—Wichita Beacon.
