Republican Retrenchment s an illustration of “getting down to brass there is nothing more impressive than mathematical demonstration of Republican iomy as set forth during the period begin- g March 4, 1 and continuing to date, If American people want public money saved, most of them do, they can find plenty ‘of uragment that direction the “he present regime. financial record made by the Republican during the from 19 to 1, while the administration was Democratic, by the Republican -administration in’ full fe: of the executive and legislative branches he government since iJ2l is not sur uy period of the history of the country. pon assembling in extra session in May, 4, the new Republican congress was con- uted qith the duty of passing, before the mencement of the fiscal year on July i dl, eight of the largest ot the supply bills h the Democratic congress had failed to en- into law before it went out of power.

Along with this reduction of taxes there Iso a reduction of the national debt*to the ent of more than $5,000,000,000. ‘he Republican party has kept faith in its mises for retrenchment in government ex- ditures and financial reform. Its record is iplete and unanswerable. From the dssembly the congress in May, 1919, to the present e, every effort has been made to manage the 1irs of the nation according to efficient, homical, and sound busin principles.

Buffalo, Birmingham, Clarksburg {fter'a year or more of conservative protec: President Cleveland, formerly Mayor of falo, began to drift toward free trade. In he wrote a message bitterly hostile to our ff system. In 1892 he was nominated on a form which declared protection unconstitu- al. In 1894 he was wrathful because the ff was not cut and slashed far more savage- han Gorman permitted. was after all this that the Buffalo exposi was held. Did anybody ever publish a plogue of the industrial plants that had h built in consequence of tariff reductions? anybody ever hear it s 1 that a far finer »sition could have been held in the days of Guthrie tariff or the Walker tariff? Is .it a fact that our great exhibitions came in time after years of protection had developed manufactures? We think that the dates answer these queries. jhall anyone say that the ablest low tariff prove that ke was wreng. Senator Underwood comes from Birmingham. The name suggests a great factory town in England, a town built up under the old British system of protection. In the days of ante-bellum low tariffs there was yp Alabama Birmingham. The town was not called into being by the Confederate constitu- tion, that constitution which forbade the enact- ment of protective duties. Birmingham dates from 1871, after. we had had Morrill’s two tar- iffs, after Henry C. Carey had written book af- ter book, after William D. Kelley. Wood's low tariff scheme was blocked. Morrison was squelched. Mills was checkmated. Springer’s popgun bills did not pop. The McKinley tariff, the Dingley tariff, the Payne tariff had all done their work to build up ‘the iron industry of Birmingham before Mr. Under®ood had a chance to work in the wrong direction. If he should write a history of Birmingham would it not be a reluctant testimony to what protection has wrought? aks Mr. John W. Davis is now assailing protec- tion. His former home, city of Clarksburg has been built & under that system. A man of hiF legal training and business experience aust know what protection has done for West Vir- ginia, It would be interesting to get twenc, fifty or a hundred facts in the industrial his- tory of West Virginia and compare the dates. Mr. William L. Wilson of that state thirty years ago tried to destroy the protective sy: tem. He was inyited to a British banquet be- cause of his services in that direction, but he not re-elected hy his constituents. Mr. ivis could make an excellent speech on what West Virginia has achieved between 1897, the year of the Dingley tariff, and,1913, the year of the Underwood bill. He .would not point tle moral this newspaper might point, but would not the facts speak for themselves? Mr. Gompers Admits The estimate of 5,000,000 men out’ of employ: ment at the close of the Democratic administra- tion is not a Republican guess. No less an au- thority than Mr. Gompers himself quoted th: figure in the course of an address he delivered at a labor convention in Philadelphia on April 5, 1921, a little over a month after the Republi- cans 1 taken over the government but before Republican policies had begunto be felt. T estimate of Mr. Gompers s been borne out by other investigators, and may be aceepted as an upproximate fact. Unemployment today is rela light. has happened in the three years and a half since the Gompers speech to bring that at change? A Republicar protective tariff w has been passed, measures have been adopted to relieve the distress of the farmers and in- crease their buying power, and confidence in the government has been restored through a drastic program of retrenchment in the conduct of affairs at Washington, As a result of Re publican econom taxes have been twice re duced, manufacturers have again taken heart, old factories have been reopened, new ones built, and existing facilities expanded, thus creating a demand for labor that has absorbed all those willing to work.”.Now we are asked to overturn policies that have made all that possible and sub. stitute others that haye a claim on our atten- tion only because they eare unique. It is a test of American stability. American voters have not failed in similar emergencies in the past, and will measure up to their record on this oceca- sion. Affects Us All Everybody who eats meat or who deals in meat, whether’ on the hoof or on the butcher's block, affected by the packer and stockyards act. Its object, as tersely set forth by Chief Justice Taft in upholding its constitutionality, is to facil itate “* * * the free and unburdened flow of live stock from the ranches and farms * * * through the great ards and slaughtering centers ** * and thence in the form of meat products to the consuming cities.” The packers and stockyards act was enacted by a Republican congress in 1921. Broadly speak- ing, it prohibits livestock marketing agencies from charging unreasonable rates or engaging in unjust, unreasonable, discriminatory or de- ceptive practices, and it provides penalties en- forceable by court decree. Under the law, the activities of 450 packing houses, 4,000 livestock dealers and 1,150 author- ized commission men are inspected. The books of the stockyards and commission men haye been audited. Uniform charges for handling livestock have been fixed. Unfair practices, not only on the part of stockyards and ¢éommission men, but on the part of producers, haye been climinated. Eprmal action has been taken against violators of the law in 103 cases, 52 of which are still pending. A Matter of Sugar If all sugar used in United States were for. eign grown, the country would be at the mercy of foreign manufacturer, either in extortionate price or in possible starvation in event of war. In that case a tariff would be for revenue only, and coud protect nothing. If it were not im. pay all federal bilfs by posed the public would direct tax. If all sugar were produced at home, there would be no imports to pay dut again the government would have to support itself by di- rect taxes, compensated for by the benefits of haying the industry at home But neither is quite the case; the country now raises 1-2, per cent of its sugar. To pro- duce revenue that would otherw raised by direct home taxation, imposed on imports. To promote in dependence and to employ Ame rapital and labor, this. tariff aims to equalize the cost of sugar grown here and abroad, and build up the home industry at least to the point of national safety. The 30-cent sugar of the World war, even with Cuba, our 60 per cent source of sup- ply right at our doors, tells what dependence on e have to be tariff “tax is fan outside source might mean. Without the $100,000,000 ‘raised by the sugar tariff, we should have paid the equivalent of that sum in direct taxes for running the goy ernment, with no compensating benefits to agri culture, labor or industry, and perhaps a higher price for imported sugar if there were no home competition. You can scrap every issue in this campai; and Calvin Coolidge would lead the field, for the simple reason, that the people have a con- locate since the death of Grover Cleveland| fidence in him, that has been bestowed upon } Oscar W. Underwood, it would be hard to few men in our history, fhe Casper Sundav Tribune. Ia Ce Be re ee LS ee Warren’s Broad Service The following appreciation of Sen- ator Francis E. Warren is taken from the editorial page of the Bil- u Gazette: community seems appeared, publican. ocrat.

All the two of them are intent upon is get- Ung into Congress enough men of their own stripe to enable them to bludgeon their way through. Warren of Wyom- instance, urged the Wyoming people not to return to the United States Senate, where he has served not only them, but the people of the whole west for many years. There has never been the But Warren has refused to jump at the ollette whip; because he considers the interest ple of his own state and the People of the western country ahead of his own personal ambition; because he has refused to be a party to ob- structionist tratics at Washington, Senator Wheeler urges his defeat. “The Gazette has prefers Mr. Bryan he should say ev plainly, and not present any fan- tastic demand for the removal of General Dawes’s name from the na- tional -ticket—a thing which he kknows to be im; ible, ~ 0 “The issue in tho campaign is }clearly-joined. It is open to Sena- tor Brookhart or to any other citizen to vote for Senator LaFollette for President of he chooses. But Mr. La- Follette cannot be elected as Presi- dent. Mr. Brookhart kowns that. Mr, LaFollette knows it. Every intel- ligent voter in lowa knows that, But Iowa, joined with ‘other “ states, might by choosing LaFollette elec. tors, throw the election into con- gress, where it would promptly. be- come a question whether General Dawes or Mr. Bryan were,to.be elected vice president: and become president as the result of the presi- dential vacancy. If Mr. Brookhart desires that event to come to pass, he will undoubtedly go over to La Follette. But the fact that he ap- Plies to the Republican National committee for relief in the situation with regard to General Dawes which displeases him indicates that he still considers himself a member of ‘the Republican party, and would prefer the election of Mr. Coolidge to that of Mr. Davis. We believe that the great majority of the people of Iowa have the same preference, and they will voice it in the election. bac See ss Coolidge’s Attitude The Illincts Labor News in a lengthy article recites the history of Calvin Coolidges’ attitude toward or- ganized labor from which the follow- ing is taken: As far back as 1900 it {s known that “the election of President Cool- idge as City Solicitor of Northamp- tion was made possible by the vote of a representative of a well known organization, a member of a differ- ent party than that of the President. The political career of President Coolidge is an interesting study in progression. He was elected a member of the Massachusetts State Legislature from Northampton in 1907 and in that election had the unqualified sup- port of labor. : Elected and served as Mayor of Northampton 1910-1911. Elected and served as State Sen- ator 1912-1913-1914-1915. President of t! body 1914-1915. The representatives of the various labor organizations urged their friends in’the Senate to support him in this election. Elected and served as Lieutenant- Governor of Massachusetts 1916- 1918. Elected and served as Governor of Massachusetts 1919-1920. During his career as a member of the state government he supported the following bills: Anti-monopoly bills; Injunction modification bill; Anti-discrimination bill; Direct. sen- atorial election. Women's Suffrage; Honest small coal scales; One day's rest in seven; Improved working con- dition, women and children; Factory surgical equipment; Pensions, Wid- ows and children of firemen; Tea- chers’ pensions; Playgrounds: Low fares, workingmen and children; Full train crew bill; Improved milk situation; Forty-eight hour bill, women and children; Eliminating profiteering in rents; Preference to veterans; Employment for veterans; also to have dis- He is no whom Wheeler United States 1 a hand in more jon calculated to n country than Senator Wheeler because Senator of the peo. sreat admira- arren, While he he has for them many great many cessful in Revision of banking laws; Barbers’ | way association convention.

Each and every one of these measures had the unqualified sup- port of labor, Bie As Governor ,he signed the Ab- sentee Voting bill which had the solid support of labor who, for a years, had ‘been unsuc- having this important measure passed.

Senate f of the Spotter bill, a mdst important measure for the benefit of labor. The bill provided that before a.man, could be dismissed or disciplined he would have to be confronted with the party preferring the charges.
