The hustings will resound with alibis. It is only fair to tell the statesman in advance that there isn’t a chance to get by this season with the old stuff. This is going to be a stric’ accountability year, and unless the distinguish: ed member can show an earnest and honest ef- fort, to reduce direct taxes, and the cost of liv- ing by such legislation as will bring these re- | sults, then they may as well hang up their} congressional fiddle for the people will have none of them. The congressman be he Republican or Demo-| crat who returns to his constituents asking re- election, if he has done nothing else, but can | show his unqualified support of the Mellon plan of tax reduction can have his re-election with- out question. If he can not do this but has ignor- ed the burdens at a time when they rest upon every man, woman and child in the country, then such a man is unfit to sit in the United States congress and represent any - constituency. Referring to Mr. Payne We do not know George Henry Payne, east- ern campaign manager for Hiram Johnson, who desires to become the Republican candidate for the presidency this year. And wha is more El do not care to form his acquaintance. At pres- ent our list of jackass acquaintances all too large to swell it by the addition of even one more name. If the collection of jackass curios, were our object in life then of course we would take George Henry in with alacrity and place his name at the head of the list, jumping him over the heads of all the others to the place of honor. Why so much ado, about George Henry Payne, you very properly inquire? That is the exact question we are honing to answer. George Henry has procla;imed in a loud, rough voice, so all the world, listening in, might hear, this message “The Teapot Dome scandal has made Calvin Coolidge an impossibility as a Republican candidate.” We have not hestitated to label George Henry Payne a jackass. And in addition there was not the slightest stutter in pronouncing the word. We are basing our action and the selection of the appelation strictly upon George Henry’s ut- terance. Had he said, more he would have re- vealed the degree of jackass he is, and then we could have selected the proper prefix to go with it. As it is we are to judge him just a plain ordi- nary jackass which will answer all present pur- poses. The question at once arises, what had or what has Calvin Coolidge to do with the Teapot Dome scandal that unfits him as a Republican candi- date for the presidency? He had absolutely noth- ing to do with it. No more, no less than the supreme king of Zanzibar. The congress of the United States passed an act authorizing the leasing of naval; reserves and placed the au- thority to lease in the hands of the secretaries of the interior and navy. These secretaries exe- cuted the leases and attended to all the details in connection therewith. Calvin Coolidge at the time of the leasing of the Teapot Dome was! presiding over the deliberations of the senate. His power extended only to the parliamentary government of that body. What possible con- nection, official or otherwise, could he have had with the Teapot Dome lease? As president of the United States, to which office he has since succeeded, he will have a very arge connection with Teapot Dome from this » ou. And that connection, never fear will be executed to his exerlasting credit and the popu- larity of hi for president. 3 not amount to much, but By the way we are calling George Henry Payne's attention to the t, that his particular friend and candi- date Hiram Johnson, was at the time of the Teapot Dome lease, and ever since, a senator in the congréss of the United States, a free and unrestrained agent, unmuzzled and in posses- sion of leather lungs, a cavernous mouth and a wealth of ammunition to use in it. If the Teapot deal is rotten now it was rotten then. Why in the name of the devil and Thomas Walker did not Hiram cry out against such a transaction? Lift his stentorian voice against the looting of the birthright of the people, or its exchange Tor u mere mess of pottage? Applying the same rule, by which George Henry Payne desires to eleminate Calvin Cool- from the presidential contest, to his candi- Hiram Johnson where does Hiram stand on z of sins of omission? we ponder the matter, the more we ed to revise the nickname we have | to George Henry Payne. He is not only a jackass—he is an abysmal jackass, applic “Made in Germany” A New York newspaper recently stated that goods of like'quality and style. Naturally that ication of all news credited in this paper | WOuld-be true, if the importers pass the lower import prices on to the consumers, which will be discovered not to be the case. German currency is of such small value, and wages, consequently, are so much lower than wages in this country that it is no wonder facturers. \ m We cannot help wondering whether any man who fought in the late World War wants to wear German-made clothing. Probably not, but he may be doing so, just the same, for the article in question says that attention is not called to the fact that the clothing was “made in Ger- many.” Better avoid dealers who are foisting German-Made clothing on to their customers and are carefully concealing that fact. There is another angle to the matter which demands the investigation of the customs offi- cials. The writer of the article in question states that the was present when an overcoat was sold to a customer, who ascertained the fact that it was of German make when, just before leaving the store, he happened to look inside of one of the pockets where he saw the German. label. If that was the only label which was on the coat, then the law was violated. The coat was not le- gally marked if it was not labeled elsewhere. The law provides that any imported article must be marked with the name of the country of ori- gin in a conspicuous place, and that it shall not be covered up or concealed subsequent to its passage through the customs. Any appraising officer who passed an overcoat whieh was mark- with the country of origin on the inside of a pocket only should be removed from the sery- ice. Here is an opportunity for agents of the Amer- ican treasury department to get busy and see o it that American laws are religiously obeyed y the manufacturers of other countries who ship their products into our markets in com- petition with goods of our own manufacture. As for men who buy German-made clothing, we have only to say that by so doing they are depriving American workmen of the means of livelihood and they deserve to have their own means of livelihood taken fsom them in, ex- actly the same manner, by having it destroyed by the patronage of foreigners instead of Amer- icans. A man who buys foreeign goods in pref- erence to American goods is buying himself out of a job, to a greater or lesser extent. Consider the Consumer Many people have erroneous ideas concerging the effect of the tariff on retail prices. In the first ‘place it must be understood that the tariff does not increase the price’ of domestic prod- ucts, for such: products are not subject to duty. Domestic products are sold on their own basis. It costs more to manufacture or otherwise pro- duct a domestic article because American work- men are paid higher wages than those of other countries, and because other production costs are also higher. The wholesale prices of domes- tic products are based on production costs and the only effect, as a general thing, which a protective tariff has on wholesale trade is to de- termine whether the article handled shall be of domestic or foreign origin: As a rule, the wholesale prices of domestic articles are as low } as they can be if American products are to con- tinue in business. The domestic competition is such as to keep prices and profits down to bed rock. ‘ When the prices of foreign competing prod- ucts are very much lower than the prices of the domestic products, the wholesalers handle the foreign goods. They do not, however, lower the wholesale: prices on such goods, as a rule, but put the difference in their pockets as so much added profit. Hence, when the foreign goods get to the consumers they are sold at practically the same pricés as similar domestic products. Of course, the importers may shade the prices a ‘lit- tle in order to make the sale, and that shading of prices may be_partly passed on to the con- sumer, but such is not the rule. The rule is that the importers, wholesalers and retailers charge as' high prices, as they can and continue to do business. When the importer is also the re- tailer, he of course has an advantage. He may shade prices a trifle and still derive much high- er profits than he could from the sale of domes- tic articles. “This. is all under the supposition that there is no adequate tariff protection on the goods in question. When the tariff is adequate, the whole- salers must pay and charge as high prices for foreign goods as for those of domestic origin. Most people prefer to buy goods produced in this country, provided they aré of equal quality and of as low a price. Hence, the principal benefit derived from the protective tariff is to give do- mestic producers an equal chance with the for- eign producers in the domestic market. It is a question of sustaining domestic production and keeping American workmen employed, but it is not a question of lower prices on imported goods so far as the consumer is concerned. Most of us use domestic products almost excl sively, so the only question is whether we shall by our patronage support American industries and American workmen, or whether such support shall go to foreigners. Becoming Capitalistic Professor T. N. Carver of Harvard has point- ed out that an economic revolution is under way in this country, due to the high wages paid to labor and the disposition of laborers to invest their savings in the industries with which they are affiliated. A case in point was where 40,000 employes of Armour and company subscribed for 50,000 skares of stock in that company, and would have bought more but that the company declined to sell any more. The establishment by labor organizations of business banks, in one of whicli the first day’s deposits aggregated $5,000,000, vas another case in point. he change in the government of Great Brit- ain ‘is by no means the only straw that is. indi- cating to the world that labor is taking a higher and more important position in the affairs of the world. As they become capitalists they will become conservatives also, and the country will become more stabilized the more labor succeeds in its laudable ambition to become capitalistic, The suggestion has been made, and. it appears a worthy one, that a wealth of national adver. tising is going to ste, through the lack of en- terprise of manufacturers of articles of crock- ery, tin, silver and other materials a number of well known stores in that ctiy are handling German made clothing on a large scale, The statement also conveyed the fact that for tableware.
