Senator Dickinson's keynote speech at the open- ing of the Republican National Convention in Chi- cago lacked the usual red fire of political oratory. That it failed to arouse partisan enthusiasm to a| high pitch, as was noted by the Associated Press | correspondents, is not surprising. Yet it was a faithful, albeit somewhat biased, statement of record of the Hoover Administration for the four years, except in one respect. It defended the Farm Relief Board which created by the Hoover Administration to help the agriculturists of the country out of the doldrums— and merely succeeded in spending hundreds of millions the past | was of dollars of the public's money without tangible result. It characterized the Republican Party as the undeviating friend of the farmer, and in the next paragraph praised the Smoot-Hawley Tariff which, more than any other factor has aggravated the farmers’ ills. It went to some lengths to defend the Presi- dent's efforts to ameliorate the depression yet lengthening breadlines throughout the country and demand for relief funds from the Federal treasury which now embarrass Congress evidence conditions to confound any theory that all is well. Of course President Hoover is not responsible for all these things. However, idle men with hungry dependents, living in the midst of plenty, do not calmly reason about such things. The President prevented a panic, declaimed the orator. Yet more banks have failed in the past two or three years than in any similar period of our history. More men are out of work, there have been greater losses of value in stocks and bonds and as much financial and economic stress as was ever recorded in any acknowledged panic. These are all questions that will be debated in | the campaign. They will be issues. But not the | real issue. Upon it, Senator Dickinson was strangely silent. Not one word did he utter on Prohibition With the whole country seething in revolt against the present system, the Republican keynoter did not | mention it. No wonder the enthusiasm was perfunctory. | As well might a Shakespearean reader expect to | win his audience with a rendition from Hamlet | with the soliloquy of the melancholy Dane omitted. It is true the “keynoter” of a convention does not write its platform. What Senator Dickinson ignored, the platform makers can yet recognize. Until they have finished their work, it is too early | to criticise the Republican Party for failure to| deal with the Prohibition issue. It is clear, how- ever, that the party was in a quandary over the issue when the Senator compiled his address. STOCKS PRODUCING HIGHER INTEREST RATE. The annual rate of distribution on high grade | common stocks is 80 per cent. more now than at hte end of 1922 and more than 150 per cent. higher than at the highs of 1929, according to an analysis of 30 leading issues made by Administrative and Research Corporation, New York. At the market close. December 31, 1922, the| average price of the 30 stocks was 44.87, average distributions for the year being $2.30 or 513 per | cent. At the highs of 1929 these stocks averaged 17281 in price and distributed $6.18 during that year or 381 per cent. At the market close May 23, the average price was 2693 and rate of dis- tribution] was $2.44 or 9.1 per cent. The stocks considered in this analysis are Allied Chemical, American Can, American Radiator and| Standard Sanitary, American Smelting, Amencu.ni ‘Tobacco, Borden, du Pont, Eastman Kodak, General Electric, International Harvester, National Biscuit, | Otis Elevator, Procter and Gamble, Union Carbide, United States Stecl, Westinghouse, Woolworth, Am- erican Telephone and Telegraph, Columbia Gas and Electric, Consolidated Gas of New York, Electric Bond and Share, North American, United Gas Im- provement, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, New | York Central, Pennsylvania Railroad, Union Pacific, Standard Oil (Indiana), Standard Oil (New Jersey), and Texas Corporation. | CHANGES ONLY TEMPORARY. Unusually hot, dry weather for a few years in| any one section does not mean that cold days and rainfall are fading into the limbo of lost things. High and low records have been made and broken from the days of the first weather observers, only to be ironed out with the passage of time and the accumulation of statistics over a wide area. Swings from dry to wet weather, and back again to dry, stand out clearly in the charts showing the rainfall over the entire North American continent from 1881 to 1931 recently completed by Dr. O. L. Fassig of the Weather Bureau, United States De- partment of Agriculture. These charts show, for example, that Oregon had decidedly more than ey — _|second wet - PRESIDENT AND EDITOR |! failure or irregularity | i ments mutually satisfactory.

There are soe people in this island who, if such a discovery were announced (and properly “played up”) by their favorite newspaper, would grow even more angry than the Spanish Mayor; they |might cry aloud for armed intervention in Spaia | and another “War of Jenkin's Ear” with that country in order to recover the improperly detained First Folios. But there are others who might merely {shrug their shoulders and say that they were glad |to hear that not quite all our treasures had passed into the possession of the United States. Certainly. |if the indignant Mayor is right and if there is only |one first edition of Cervantes's masterpiece in the |whole of Spain, while the British Museum sits tight |on several, the news is an interesting reminder Ithat we are sinning as well as sinned against in such |matters. But first editions are not the most trouble- some of these disputed exhibits; |to early copies, the later ones are always available and, in the realm of ideas, are just as effective, Paintings, sculpture, and architecture are in a dif- {ferent case; there the orginal is the treasure, and |the later replica is hardly worth considering as a national possession. Real heartburning thus arises |when the famous painting or statute leaves the country of its origin—though quite possibly that country made no effort to reward the living artist in such a fashion as would have encouraged the retention of his masterpiece in the land of his birth Nowadays such treasures are transferred by pur- chase; in other times conquest played its part or |invaluable memorials of the past were quietly |“conveyed,” as Pistol would have called it, by their \fortunate and Wideawake finders. But unless we are to disturb, denude, and parochialise the museums and collections of the whole world we cannot very |well lay it down at this time of day that no country |must dare to possess the examples of any art but {its own. One-Sided Tariff Reform. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The trade agreement concluded by Ambassador |Walter Edge with the French Government is grati- fying to American exporters and to this country generally. It does away with the quota restrictions that have hampered the free flow of American-made merchandise into France, and extends the volume of our probable exports to France by several millions of dollars a year. But how can we rxpect such concessions to be permanent when we make no corresponding conces- sions? To be sure, we have no quota restrictions on imports of goods. But we have the highest tariff rates of any major country in the world. And our rates on four important commodities are going to be raised enormously within a week. Naturally the Washington Government cerned with expanding our exports, ports. But although we may gain is con- not our im- temporary ad- |vantages by the skillful diplomacy of such men as Ambassador Edge, we cannot in the long run hope to expand our export trade in any significant meas- ure without enlarging our imports or else our loans to abroad. The agreement with France is a wholesome be- ginning, for it sets a precedent of individual deal- ings with foreign nations to find tariff arrange- But to secure any permanent benefit to American industry and agri- culture, we shall have to go much further than wringing concessions from foreign governments. We |shall have to grant concessions to them respecting our tariff schedules. No Toll Roads for Alaska. (Cordova Times.) Department officials in Washington have sug- gested recently that they were contemplating re- moving Alaska’s great highway system—the Richard- son and Steese Highways, from its present position of providing economical transportation to Alaskans, and, by charging a toll for all who use it, forcing Alaskans to patronize the Alaska Railroad or else pay for the privilege of using the highway. Of all the suggestions ever to emanate from Washington to the detriment of Alaska this is the most vicious in our recollection, and should serve as a warning to Alaskans that they can expect scant sympathy and no aid from the Government in the tremendous task of hewing civilization out of our half-million square miles of wilderness.
