Michigan Ave. A New Economic SO long as the United States adheres to the policy of high protective tariffs followed at recurring intervals by high er protective tariffs, Oregon may well rejoice that m the grab-bag of tariff revision it has been able to emerge with both fists well filled with increases. Criticism of former tariff measures was that they benefited the manufacturer rather than the agriculturist. This charge can now have little force in view of the generous grants now proposed as safeguards to the products of farm husbandry. It is indeed singular that at a time when both political parties were practically committed to the protective system, ' when democrats are as clamorous for protection of their in dustries in the south as republicans have been for protection of northern factories and farms, that students of American economy who look at the problems of trade and production from the standpoint of the highest balanced prosperity of the American people rather than from the traditional view point of partisan politics are becoming convinced that the time is ripe for a reconstruction of our historic tariff poli cies. In the breakdown of communism in Russia Nichokl Len in did not hesitate to come forward with a "New Economic Policy" for Russia. He faced down the objections of the pure theorists and introduced a modified capitalism, and ever since that day his 'NEP" (new economic policy) has prevailed In Russia. Our study of contemporary economics in the United States convinces us that we need a new economic policy and that the tariff should become increasingly a "selective" tar iff rather than a protective tariff. The American people have so far failed to realize the effect upon the domestic situation of the change from a debtor to a creditor nation. Before the war the United States was heavily in debt to European nations. The move ment of interest settlements was heavily adverse to us. This interest account was counter-balanced by our export surplus. Thus on one side of the ledger we owed Europe large sums for interest on money borrowed, expenditures of our tourists, remittances of immigrants, freight to foreign ship lines. On the other side of the ledger Europe owed us vast sums for the surplus cost of goods we sold abroad over goods we imported. The war changed this. We no longer owe Europe and no longer have interest to pay. Instead Europe and the woricTare heavily in debt to us and the interest due each year is large. Our own ship lines carry a large proportion of our freight. Tourist expenditures alone have increased. We are thus faced with this dilemma: How can the United States "continue to be an export surplus nation and a creditor na tion? For in the settlements of international trade accounts must balance. So far in the post war years we have made the accounts balance by the simple device of making more foreign loans. If such a program were to continue indefi nitely we would soon come to hold the rest of the world in feudal thralldom. It is a simple problem of mathematics: How can we continue to ship out more goods than we im port and at the same time expect the indebted countries to pay us the interest and repayments on the principal of the borrowed billions? Transfers of gold would quickly exhaust the foreign supplies and result in a credit plethora here. The settlements, if any are to be made, must be made largely in goods and there is where a tariff of embargo-effectiveness can have but one result; the damming up of our exports, not for lack of demand but for inability to buy for eign exchange in payment. Our.exnort trade has crown to -vast proportions, run ning close to five billions of dollars in value. The ability of the world to absorb and pay for this surplus production is a vital factor in determining our domestic prosperity. It is significant too that whereas in 1821 exports of crude ma terials amounted to 60 of our exports thi3 percentage had fallen to 25 for 1927, while on the other hand finished man ufactures which in 1821 amounted to only 5.66 of our ex ports made up 42 of the total for 1927. In the tariff bill which has been reported there is no intimation that the truth of our economic situation is per ceived. We note not a single revision downward. In every case the effort seems to have been to strengthen the dikes, to build higher the levees in order effectively to shut out im portations, the net result of which must be to stop the free flow of our products to foreign markets. The sensible re vision which must sometime be undertaken ought to be with A view of opening some of the gates and encouraging im ports up to the level of our exports at the least. Some, of the party sanhedrin may excommunicate us for committing the unforgivable sin. We know all the argu ments of the McKinley era and cheerfully grant that the tariff has been a potent factor in our industrial development Nor is the protective system to be abandoned; it should be converted Into a selective tariff system, with less emphasis n the embargo characteristic. President Hoover no doubt had the situation in mind when he urged limiting tariff changes to the slackened industries. We are not looking at the tariff problems in the light of the candied cherry or the nut or cotton textiles, but from the broad standpoint of our wide domestic economy. The republican party if it is to un derwrite general prosperity in the future will have to adopt some sort of "new economic policy" to meet the changed conditions of the new age. The "voice from the air" came to the writer as a voice from the past. Two years ago after a full day visiting his toric spots in and about Boston we were resting on the com mon. Overhead this same plane, which Friday megaphoned , its message to Salem folk below, was advertising a brand of cigarettes. The other thing we recall was the lads, sans bathing suits, taking a plunge in the waters of the pool on the common. The season of annual conventions is approaching. Most of them aren't worth a whoop. They divide into about three parts; a golf tournament, a booze-fest, and peewee politics over election of officers. The fellow who isn't interested in any of these might as well save hisv travel expense, unless, like a good many,- he can charge it all up to the state. We just wonder if Helen Wills who has had nerves of steel to win so many crucial tennis matches experienced any Bhaking of the knees as she advanced to make her curtsy to Queen Mary when presented at court. That Roseburg murder is a real puzzle. Send for Phflo Vance. It is just of the the kind that detective fiction is made. a. 1 We are willing to wager our honorary fraternity watch charm that it the power trust bays up newspapers and then measures re volts it will find the Hofer system a lot more economical.

How Polk county came in W Makes an Interesting bit of old Oregon history. V w Under tha provisional govern ment, there were at first five dis tricts afterwards renamed coun ties, by legislative enactment. Tu ality county took in all the coun try south of tha Columbia river to the Yamhill county line, from the Willamette river to the Pa cific ocean. Yamhill took in the rest of the country on tha west of the Willamette to the Spanish (California) line, and to the Pa cific ocean. Clackamas county ran to the Champoeg (now Marion) county line and took in all the country from the Willamette riv er to the crest of the Rocky moun tains. Champoeg (Marion) ran from the Clackamas county line to the Spanish (California) line and to the top of the Rockies. That is, all of the Oregon Country east of the Willamette that was not taken by Clackamas county. m . In 1847, the people on the west side south of Yamhill wanted a new county, to be called Polk, af ter the president under-whom the boundary question was settled. The Yamhillers did not want to give up any territory; they evi dently feared they would be cramped for room. Col. l?smith represented Yamhill in the legis lature of the provisional govern ment, and he lived in what be came Polk county. This was Nes mith's first step upon the slippery rungs of the political ladder. There was only one house of the legislature, and in that year held its sessions in the old Methodist church at the "Falls' afterwards named Oregon City; the first Protestant church building on this coast. Close by the church. Bar ton Lee had a "ten-pin alley" to which members of the legislature repaired for relaxation from their labors. S m Col. Nesmith had been a candi date for speaker of the house, and thought he had it, hands down, but Robert Newell of Tuality county, a "mountain man," beat him to It Nesmith said: "Some of my friends threw oft on me and elected a better man, In the per son of Dr. Robert Newell; God bless his old soul." -h. In the small collection of books that made up the "Multnomah circulating . library" contributed from the few volumes brought by immigrants In the covered wagoD trains (the mother of the great Portland library), Col. Nesmith had found a copy of "Jefferson's Manual," giving the rules of or der for the house of representa tives at Washington. After giving this theretofore to him unknown volume an evening's perusal by the light of an armful of pitch knots. Col. Nesmith found that there was such a thing In parlia mentary usage as "the previous question." The next morning, at a time when a number of the "members opposed to his bill to create Polk county were in the ten-pin alley regaling themselves with "horse billiards," Col. Nesmith called up Calvary Baptist Church Grand Theatre, Court and High Streets MOTHER'S DAY HOSPITAL DAY The Nurses of the Salem General hospital will be our guests at the evening service.
