The people are behind it, and growing more disgusted every day at the unnecessary delay in getting it onto the federal statute books. The words concerning the "administrative features to enhance its efficiency" are reassuring. If this means the adoption of the proposition to lodge in the hands of the President the authority to raise and lower rates found to be too low for adequate protection or too high to protect he consumers of his country against injustices, a long step will have been made in the direction of a scientific tariff law and the taking of the question out of politics. As .The Statesman has said so many times, the tariff Question is a business Question, and it should never have been and should not be in the future the footbal of political schemers and shysters and logrollers. t PROTECTION NOT PERFECTION . Chairman McCumber, of the Senate 'Finance Committee, , pays -tribute to the work-of his colleagues in drafting the tariff bill, as follows: ..-'- r "While , the present unsettled conditions every where existing renders the work of those engaged in making a tariff bill extremely difficult, it must, however, be borne in mind that of all times in the history of our country this is the time when a pro tective tariff is most needed by the American people. ' "We have written this tariff on the basis of revenue. We have made no rate so high that it will shut off reasonable foreign competition in our , American markets, nor" so low that the American manufacturer, with reasonable economy of produc- tion cannot hold his full share of the American market. We have tried -to protect the American producer, believing he is entitled to the first consid eration. We have tried to maintain the standard of labor wage in the United States and the higher standards of living in this country, believing this v. policy, is for the Very 'best interest of both the pro ducer and consumer. At the same time, we have tried to carefully guard the immediate interests of the great consuming public: f r, "We have given the agricultural interests of the 'country a better standard of protection than .has ever been given in any previous tariff bill. We are certain that we have placed no duties -above a neces sary protective basis. The public will recognize ' this bill as a consumer's tariff. Its object is to .. restore the buying power of the consumer." ' A study, of the rates carried in the bill bears out what Senator McCumber has said of it. The rates on agricultural products guarantee adequate protection., The rates on man ufactured, goods, while in many instances lower than those carried iathe last Republican tariff law, that of 1909, have been laid with a view to reasonable protection where reason able economy is effected and haying in mind mass produc tion and improved methods, developed since 1909. -1 , ' The standard of. labor. wage would appear to be effectively safeguarded, and in general the bill will meet the require ments indicated by the American Federation of Labor in the resolution adopted by . that body, in Buffalo in 1917. viz : "Resolved, That this convention, go on record in favor of a policy of industrial preparedness and the enactment of laws by congress that will adequately protect all wage-earners of Our country against loss of employment through any invasion of the products of any other nations- Perfection is not claimed for the measure. It will never be achieved in any-tariff bill. f6r tariff bills are essentially the result of compromise. The bill will doubtless undergo considerable improvement before it is' finally written into .law, and it will be so adaptable by reason of its admimstra tive features as to enhance its efficiency.' The thing for the country now to do is to get behind it. ' The The above is from Washington correspondent, last words are superfluous ; The country has been behind the movement for a pro Gift Pinehot, the fiery, untam ed PennsylTanian, la running for governor of that state. He needs the exercise. Henry Ford says that what ails the country is the gold standard. Billy Bryan discovered this , in 1896 and now look at him. The back of the biggest famine In the history of the world. In Russia, has been broken by Am erica. It seems to be necessary for Uncle Sam to be the Santa Clans of the universe. ; ' The national debt of Canada is $2,500,000,000, which la about one-seventh the debt of the United States, but we have thirteen times the population. But Canada Is a young and growing nation, and the debt will stimulate the enterprise of an industrious and persistent people. people. Observing his fight on the four-power treaty and every progressive step for safe-guard ing the peace and rehabilitation of of the world it is a wonder Borah with his rah-rah style of politics should do anything else Oregon. Our state used to be' conservative; safe and sane. We have wandered somewhat of late years from the beaten paths; though oar people have not gone plumb crazy. We need to back track In Ore gon; to get back to normal. We need to keep our feet on the ground. We do not want moss backism; but we do need com' moD sense. Let us cut out all the rough stuff; discard all the red stuff; lop off all the trills, and let the people of the United States and of the world, know that Oregon, while it is up and coming and progressive, and anxious for de velopment, is safe and sane and normal and is going to stay that way.

Taeadar General We do not have all the troubles over here In Oregon though we have a-plenty. Seattle owns her own street car lines. The fare is 10 cents, or three slugs calling for rides for a quarter. - Now they are to have a vote on the question of reducing the fare to 3 cents a ride, and it is likely that this will carry, ac cording to a man from Seatlte who was in Salem yesterday. The vote Is to be taken on the Bolshevistic theory that the city owns the street car lines, and therefore the people should ride free on the street cars; pome mon ey is need to keep up repairs hence the proposed 3 cents a ride. The lines are now losing mon But the agitators for the 3 cent fares are in favor of the tax payers of the city paying the in terest on the bonds and making up the hiatus between the 3 cents a fare and what the whole cost will amount to. This will, if the Idea carries, cost one hotel in Seattle J80U3 a year extra taxes. Tne worK or putting up one large block in Seattle "has been halted, because the people who are proposing to furnish the money want to know what is go ing to happen about the 3-cent fare proposition - They want to know if Seattle is going Bolshevik or berserk. It is to be hoped that this dread malady may not get idown to everywhere." Every form of industry is in volved in the construction plans. Approximately nine-tenths o! all the Iron, copper and zinc and 95 per cent of all the lead produced in the country are. consumed. In construction. Under normal con ditions it absorbs about half the country's annual accumulation of capital and at least three fifths of the proceeds from new f inanc- ing. If one glances about Salem nowadays, he will discover how true is this analysis of conditions. In every section and' in all the suburbs of Salem, and in all the country surrounding this city, and In the cities 'and towns of the whole Salem district, there is much activity in building opera tions, and the movement is of a character that guarantees its con tinuance for a long time in the future.- PRESIDEXT IIARDrXG'S CHANCE SCHOOXt TOUT :W. -I-. . rfS3n7fi if mm, iXTUMOB PLAT WOEK Copyright,-1022, Associated Editors The Biggest Little Paper in the World Edited by John 1L Uillar A GAME FULL OF PEP " ' J" sister's little boy."

The ball should not be hit so hard against the wall that it will rebound out of the court without first touching the ground Inside If a player does this he loses a point to his opponent.

And President Harding need not do this quietly, either, unless he feels that way For if he got a big stick and a stuffed club and a megaphone there would be little, if ariy, ob jection.
