A MEASURE TO INCREASE LIVING COSTS
E
inuch if his expenses are but reduced accordingly
Hence the widespread objection to the Fordney bill as ad
opted by the house. This is distinctly a measure that will in
crease costs, m almost every line without any compensating
I'tnetits lor the average citizen or to Uncle Sam. Some of the
instances of how costs will be advanced were shown by Con
gressman Man-in Jones of Texas during the debate on the bill.
"in taking up the items of this bill we find on all table, kitchen, household
and hospital utensils a levy of five cents per pound, plus thirty per cent ad va
lorem, plus ten per cent more if the articles are electrical. Thus every hnuse
wifo in America niURt pay a tr bute of around forty per cent on practically
every artk le she uses in the kitchen, and if she should become ill and go to
li e hoHpiUil. the. utensils In the h.wpital have a tariff levied on them, and she
l wst pay her pro rata part, which is an additional cost.
'Table knives are given the penalty of sixteen cents each, so that when the
housewife buys a doxen table knives she must pay $1.92 for the privilege of
furnishing ber table with stiver knives. An additional amount is levied upon
rorks,. spoons, taniewcres. etc. if she buys a pair of scissors she must pay
three rnt each, plus thirty-fie per cent ad valorem.
"Hre m th furniture schedule which levies from twenty-five to fifty
f cent -en furniture, so that the American home v, ill be penalized when an
effort iy made to secure the necessary furniture for the operation of the heme.
Carpets are given a levy cf from one to five cents, plus twenty to thirty per
cnt ad valorem. It seems that on some' of these articles they were ashamed
to state all of the levy in one form, so they doubled up and thus got them
from two different angles. a
'The housewife must pay for her clock thirty-five per cent ad valorem.
end if ahe secures a i-iock with jewels an additional amount of Jl to $3 for tachj
cwk is added. . .
""Electric light bulbs t: ;1 lamps are given a thirty-five per cent lefy, . sa
that those who use electric light for the purpose of reading and working or
for'amusement must pay for that privilege.'"
" Thesa tariff taxes are in addition to what the housewife must pay in taxes
on food, clothing, shoes and wearing apparel generally.
- A tariff bill of the Fordney type does not wait until the man is grown in
order to mulct him. but levies ita tribute even upon that most patriotic of pa
triotic Americans, the American boy. As representative Jones says:
- "Pocket knives which are essential to the happiness of every American
V oy, are given a levy of forty per cent. . That is enough to break, the heart of
a boy who has been saving his money for the purpose of buying a pocket knife.
"Here in another place we find fish hooks, rods, reels and artificial bait
T.Hh a thirty-five per cent ad valorem tariff. When the American boy wants
to go fishing he must pay for the nrivilege." .....
Representative Jones also pointa o'jt that the boy who buys a bicycle must
pay thirty per cent duty and that even the firivilege of education is taxed by
a twenty per cent duty on books. The boy who covets a wa'ch must pay $0.75
to IIO.TS ad valorem for the privilege of buying one and knowing what time
of day it W.
Even the poorest and most economical man cannot e.ape. In his analysis
of the bill Air. Junes says: .
"It a poor man tries to economise by shaving himself he must pay ten
to twenty Mn for each razor, plus thirty per cent ad valorem. He will be
certain to cut hinwlf with that kind of a razor. , . . After he has read
tit Uema la this bill he will probably conclude he might as well be butchered
u after all. ,
"Buttons are taxed from ten to thirty-eight per cent. If the 'one-gallus' .
man attempts to uae nails as a substitute for buttons they get him again, for
here is a tax of twenty per oent ad valorem on nails. 'What chance has an av
erage man for every time he turns around he finds some artV'e of daily use
t pon which high protective tariff has been levied."
Nor will the federal government derive any increased reve
nue through such a measure. In fact it is openly charged that
the Fordney tariff will produce less revenue than the present
Underwood tariff. .The Fordney bill would curb imports to
such an extent customs duties would fall off. . It is very plain
that Secretary Mellon expects little if any increased revenue
through the new tariff else he would not be advising the bank
check tax, increased letter postage and the other measures he
dvggest for the purpose of adding to the national revenue.
- The people of Des Moines should not worry too much about
the tie-up of their street car system ; the motor car has put the
t street car out of date and perhapa the sooner a city gets upon
the new basis the better.
Having been forced to eat their horses the migrating . Rus
sian seeking region where there is food find traveling slow.
Apparently all the city budget committee has to do is decide
the age long problem about the irresistible force and the immov
able object.
Where could anyone find a better summer resort than Pen
dleton with its present weather?

J Furlong, F. It. G. S., made it so. The
i famous wild and wooly open-air cir
cus has long been In the movies and
bits of it have been roped into vaude
Vllle, but until Colonel Furlong took
his pen In hand, the Round-l'p never
had a place In real literature.
The colonel's book, "Let 'er Buck,"
Is just off the press. It is a first-hand
story of the passing of the lust fron
tier. Furlong has lived the life. He I
has ridden with .huckaroos us they i
sang "The Dying Cowboy" and "The
Little Old Sod Shanty": he has enjoy-!
ed "Montana turkey" fired over his
own greasewood fire: he has ridden an !
outlaw as long as said "outlaw"
wanted him to ride, and then the fel
low of the, Royal Geographical Society
quickly dismounted. . .
In other words, Charles Wellington
Furlong knows his West. He is now
a cltlxen and a voter of Pendleton. He
Is heart and soul In earnest In his
study of the passing frontier, which is
becoming less and less picturesque as
the seasons hurry by. His story opens
with a "few sentences telling of the
coming of white settlers to Oregon, of
the settlements In the rich va.leys and
Inter in the cattle country east of the
Cascades. A fine tribute is paid to
the men. and women who have made
cur West the great part of civilization
that it is.
A character who was one of God's"
true noblemen is honored hy Mr. Fur
long in a fitting way. The late Sheriff
Til Taylor is accorded a chapter in this
story of the Old West. Taylor is a part
of Oregon history, just as Daniel Boone
Is a part of Kentuckey history and
John Brown is a part of the story of
bleeding Kansas. In the years to
come, there will he woven around the
name of Til Taylor a great collection
of yarns which in time will become,
part of the folk lore of Eastern Ore.
con. It is a fine think that a short
account of ftherlff Taylor's splendid
life is put into everlasting print by a
writer of tha standing of Colonel Fur
long. "Til Taylor's character and record
if as remarkalde as it was romantic,"
ays Furlong, who declares Taylor was
the outstanding figure among the
sheriffs of the West of today."
Oregon's big cattle country Is dis
cussed In this book, and the Round-Cp
is told of in colorful detail. Pictures
that almost jump off the pages illus
trate the story. It will put Pendleton
and Oregon Into the limelight as never
before, and will prove a fitting tribute
to a life that is swiftly passing and
that is perhaps the most picturesque
nd typically American that our broad
country has.cver produced.

. The Rewards ot Vision
If any one factor is to be credited with Fire-
stone's leadership in the tire industry today,- it
must be the unity of purpose that has always
characterized the Firestone organization.
This purpose was conceived twenty years ago in
a pledge to give car owners most miles for their
tire dollars It required more than the immediate
production of tires of finest quality.
It meant planning for years ahead; the vision to
foresee the progress of the whple industry; the un
wavering determination to maintain quality lead
ership under all contingencies.
And Firestone has kept faith with its millions of
customers. The very name on the' tire is- confi
dently accepted everywhere as more than a quality
' mark. It stands, after twenty years, as a personal
contract from the active head of the Organization
to maintain the most-miles-per-dollar standard. . ..
