Entered at the I'ostoffice in Salem, THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL' After the enactment of the protective tariff law, one of the most important matter before Congress is, the placing of the ship subsidy bill on the federal statute books ; .Whatever, our prejudices in this country may be against the word "subsidy and the policy it stands for, is there any alternative? . , - 1' .

I it is pleasant to note, however, that we do not hare any monopoly In political ex travagance.: ' LET US HAVE ACTION ON TIIE TARIFF QUESTION V (The National Republican. Wash ington, D. C, March 25.) ' Protection is fundamental doctrine of Republicanism. Abraham, Lincoln's firstdc- laration of candidacy, announced his belief in a "high protective tariff: The Republican party came to power In 1S61 pledged to the fiscal policy which Henry Clay so well called "the Ameri can system." Every great Re publican leader from. Lincoln on has been, a staunch, protectionist. He who Is not a good protection ist Is not a good Republican. In every national campaign one' of the overshadowing issues has oeen the protective policy, The people hare understood - that the Republican party,' etan4afo.r tariff policy, framed In the in terests of the AmerlcanratheY than the foreign prodocer , and have to ted r ' accordingly. The TOters of the United States be ttered when tjhey elected a Re publican president and congress in 1920 that it meant the repeal of the existing Democratic tariff law and the prompt enactment, in its stead, of a tariff law form ulated on a Republican, protec tive baais. ':"' S'iy-'V EVERY TARIFF LAW PRAM ED JO! .THE NOtf-tROTECTIVE PRINCIPLE, IN ALL THE HIS TORY OF THIS COUNTRY, HAS RESULTED IN . INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSION IN ' THE UNITED STATES. Under the existing tar iff law we hare .had two periods of depression; one-,n 1914, be fore the. European, war ; began. and another now that ..the Euro pean war Is orer and normal trade conditions are returning. .Under the Underwood, tariff law there was an army of the. unemployed numbering three" or four million men In 1914. ' Now that war prosperity" Is over, we hare another army; of the.nnem ployed of equal or ' greater sixe and It.is just what, is to be ex pected as the result of a tariff measure intending to bring about the inundation of theAmerIcan market with articles of alien pro duction, rather than ' to give the American . producer the first Paper in the World Sometimes Stacla ' would make f aces at r the picture," but he frowned "back at her solemnly. Then she would shako( her 'fist at h1m, but he never paid "any at tention to her." ' ' When Stacia's mother'1 went west for several month because of her health and Stacla was left to be housekeeper, her first thought was to fix over.jome of the rooms, and' do sosneof the things she had long wanted to do. Among the first of these was to get rid ot Grea-Uncle John. It seemed to her that he cast a shadow over the whole ; living room. So she mounted a chair and pulled Uncle John down from his naiL Then she. stopped to think ot what to do with h'm. She could not throw him away, , That was out of the question. She couldn't put him, in the .store room, be cause his frame mTght get broken, and her mother would be angry when she came back. . First she put him np in the halt 'but It was unpleasant, to look l him when she first ca me in. She tried the kitchen, but he bothered her when . she was rushing about trying to cook. There was no use trying, to put him la her lather's room.: And she Just couldn't stand him In her own. Y ' .y She put him in the pantry, but Uncle John glared down at her. so she took him 'down. For over a week she tried him In different places, but ho looked at her ' o f'.ercely at each change that she trembled, v " " "Well." she aid at last, "you can Jiave your' way. - .

Meanwhile the blight of the ex isting tariff measure rests upon American industry., with the means of early relief neglected. ' The agricultural : emergency tariff law was enacted at a time when American agriculture was in the depths of depression. Ridi culed when it was passed as fu tile, it has brought relief to the American farmer. Today pros perity is being restored to Am erican agriculture through the application of the; protective pol icy." The lesson is 'the more strik ing because agriculture is reviv ing without the stimulus that would come with industrial revi val. . ' -': It I , general protective tariff law had been enacted six months ago the same relief would have come to manufacturers that has come to agriculture. The army of the unemployed would have been disbanded. It is true that a 'ifeFfect tariff law could not have been enacted six months ago. Perfection cannot .be attained in tariff making either now or- ten yeara from now;. but at least we could have had a protective meas ure as a basis , of change rather than ths present business-blighting,, .prosperity-paralysing, employment-killing tariff law' that has been allowed to remain on the etatute books for more than a. year after theinauguratton of a Republican president and for nearly a year after the summon ing of a Republican congress into extra session. ; Again and, again this paper has pointed out the danger of the continued delay in tariff legisla tion.

Today the balance of trade in our dealings with foreign na tions Is heavily against as. We are told by the-government sta tisticians that in February there was a smaller balance of -trade In favor of the United Stateirthan In any month since 1914.' 'But when It is remembered that jour exports are based on American valuation and l our imports . on foreign valuations, it will be re alized that we have a huge moth- ly adverse trade, balance, and that the) displacement of Ameri can production 'by reason of im ports Is greater at this time than it has ever been before in the history of 'this country, not ex eluding 1894 and 1114, when tar iff lawn framed in violation of the protective principle had closed the mills of America in order that the interests which profit through the injury of American Industry might fatten inordinately. The condition of today under a Demo-' rratic tariff law Is worse than that of thirty'" years ago because in 1894 the importers were giv ing the American consumer some benefit cf the saving involved in buying abrsod rather than at home, while today the importing and r distributing interests ! are charging all the traffic will bear and the cost of living is up, while the opportunity of making a liv ing' ts Impaired by the foreign purchase of commodities we can produce zi home. It is time for plain frpeaklng on the part of Republicans in the matter 'of the-destructive delay in the' enactment of a Republican tariff If the injury being inflict ed were, to the Republican party alone the situation could be en dured ( in silence. But when the failure to apply the Republican tariff principle is resulting in the continuance of a depression, heri tage of the Wilson era, which the restoration of protection would terminate, then the time has come for general Republican' protest. .
