CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Mongrel Tariff Revision With the passage of the tariff bill and the reference hf the measure to a conference committee of the two houses comes the opportunity for the senate to resume the playing of politics over the debenture provision in serted in the bill despite a previous rejection when the farm relief billing similarly In conference. The former rejection of the bounty plan for making frnrkwttthi* the surplus productions, as of wheat, was ac complished by the house conferees persisting in refusal to accept the plan. They did so In support of President Hoover, who had taken a stand against this piece of fnmmimitm even before the senate enacted it as a part pf the farm board bill. Eager to hector the president and damage his farm relief plan* the eoalitlon of Democrats and satellite Re publican Insurgents Jammed the debenture provision into the farm board and marketing bill by the narrow mar gin of 47 to 44 and then enacted it. Baffled by the courage of the house conferees in standing out against , their trick, they undertake anew in the tariff bill to put the president In the hole of either accepting the scheme to which he had served notice of being irrevocably op posed, or of vetoing the tariff bill. This time the vote Was 42 to 34. This is how the situation now stands between the White house and the party betrayal masquerading under party colors in the senate. On the part of the Democrats, their position is custom iry. Their traditional position on the tariff has been in HypnfiMnn to the protective theory. The need of large revenues some years ago seemed to promise the death of this difference of opinion. The Democrats for revenue purposes alone hgdto resort to tariff duties far in excess of some of those previously sponsored by the Republicans, thus invading the realm of protection, while'the Repub licans passed some bills in which the need of revenue obviously was as important as protection, thus com mitting the party in part to the Democratic principle of tariff for revenue. The Demands of the senate, however, never became conscious of any change. They are somnambulists and they are sleep walking in the present instance of tariff revi sion. They are going through the old motions from force of habit. The one and only member of the party who is acting with eyes open and not indulging in panto mine is Ruth Bryan Owen, of Florida, daughter of the former so-called Commoner, William Jennings Bryan. Sber voted with the house Republicans and there was a rattling of bones when she said. The queer feature is the opposition of the Repub lican insurgents. They have not been helpful at any stage d! the proceedings. They have reasoned in heresy ridiculous from the Republican and Democratic standpoints and have been more ante-bellum Democratic than the Democrats. They have ranted over the prin ciple of protection In the most maudlin terms, contradict ing in one statement what they argued in another and without a vestige of that fine doctrinal authority which was the glory and power of William McKinley, Tom Need, John Dalsell, David Henderson and Uncle Joe Cannon in another generation of tariff makers. At the same time the Eastern Republicans, led by Sena tor Moses jandJoe Grundy, have used poor and antagon ising psychology in trying to force an industrial revision of the tariff when the purpose of the president in keep ing with the Republican national platform of June 12-15, 1928*. was merely agricultural duty revision. Agriculture ims suffering and an increase of protection obviously was Called for- as a possible remedy, certainly not a harmful treatment Both East and West failed to rise to this Cession. They were both too intent on embarrassing the president and doing him a political injury. It has become a superstltutfam that the tariff is a good means pf striking at a president for the sake of political gain. Hence we have this debenture fight all over again. President Hoover in his letter attacking the idea as un sound listed ten reasons—all as good now as then— for- bis disapproval. Among them he said that the benefits of the debenture plan would not go to the farm era but rather to “the dealers and manufacturers and speculators in fern commodities.” To these President Hoover said the plan “would be a gigantic gift from the government and the public.” The amount of the subsidy, U the plan were generally applied, President Hoover said ftrould be “In ernes of $200,000,000 a year.” Among other reasons President Hoover said the plan ’•would stimulate overproduction and thereby increased IWorld supply which would in turn depreciate world prices jp.rxi consequently decrease price which the farmer prould receive,” Further than thu, President Hoover said the plan would production of certain commodities and would therefore “disturb the whole basis of diversification in agriculture.” The export subsidy of two cents b pound on. cotton. President Hoover said, “would mean that foreign manufacturers would be receiving cotton at two cents a pound lees than the American manufac turers.” One objection cited by Mr. Hoover was that export bounties would be construed by foreign nations as “dumping” and “would probably lead to action by foreign nations which would nullify the subsidy given by us.” ~ ’ Gasoline Madness ffawmful staff—gaeoHns ThMe to a kind ef gseallne >~*~**~» that changes the entire natures of some ■k toatotow to to lownd tint nw the mlld-manner mb vto lfM hto family. to kW to animals and to ■team to wybody. can’t stand gasoline at ali As M4M be gets bto aa aufomokltofas Isn’t petite to any* irWwMwiii U # dfesadT or ‘TOato cH ifgbk 4d man.

Filling the air with raucous mechanical lowing, yawl ing and screeching is an attendant symptom of gasoline madness. Dashing ahead through dense traffic and horning everybody out of the way is another. The mani festations vary with the age and temperament of the subject, but even in the mildest natures the tendency is toward crude manners, lack of all consideration and com plete inhumanity. The State’s Chief Road Need The call of the Hettinger delegation of Adams county officials and business men on the state highway commis sion to present the cause of good road needs in that sec tion of the state again directs attention to the isolation of the several extreme southwestern counties from the re mainder of the state for lack of both connecting railroad faciliies and permanently Improved roads, that can be traveled in all seasons and all kinds of weather. The state should not longer leave this territory outside the fold. At the earliest moment possible in the formula tion of road programs, a link which will bring not only Hettinger, on highway No. 12, but Bucyrus, Reeder, Scran ton and Bowman to the westward and Lemmon to the eastward into improved highway connection with the hub of the Slope—which is Bismarck—should be provided for. ' As the southwestern North Dakotans say, they are neither of North Dakota geographically under present conditions, nor of South Dakota or Montana politically, yet divided between those two states by the fact that whenever they go out of their towns by rail they are con find to going to the state to the south or that to the west. They want their political relations with their state expanded to full business relations as well. The accom plishment of this, how and when, depends on how the state highway commission is going to treat them. It must bp an extremely important road need if there be any that should have precedence of the southwestern situation. The connectioq of the counties of Adams, Het tinger, Slope and Bowman is the most needed improve ment in the state today. It means the rounding out of North Dakota by annexing that part w'hich now virtually is outside the state and cut off as if it were alien area. With Morton county doing its share in road improve ment which will establish fair connection with Mott, it should be the task of the state to improve a link from that county seat to No. 12 highway at White Butte or. Haynes and thus make these outlying sections an actual part of the state. A Good Vocation Is Calling The high school students probably got their best vocational hunch from the talk given them some time ago by A. R. Miesen, county agent. He spoke on farm ing, and one of the divisions of his talk dealt with the extension service, research and agricultural teaching branch. Now Dean Nisonger, Ohio Agricultural college, an nounces that the supply of agricultural branch teachers for the big colleges and universities is running short. In 13 midwestern states where 1,475 agricultural teachers were employed this year there will be 159 vacancies next year, as well as need for 113 additional teachers. Farming is gaining a fascination as it developes scien tifically and mechanically. This fascination extends no less to the solution of its economic problems. The re search field of agriculture, therefore, should prove an attractive future for young men of explorative and ex perimental temperament. There may jje drudgery about farming of the old type, in which hand operations were mainly carried on or with animals as the tractive power, but with intricate machinery to perform the work so mueh better now, a farmer can be very much of a gentleman in appearance and tastes and knowledge. This is a great deal more true of research agriculturists and teacher of agriculture. Men like Thomas D. Campbell rate high in prominence and civic values. -80 do men like Dr. J. H. Sheppard of the North Dakota agricultural college, or F. B. Linfield, of the Montana Agricultural college, or Alva Agee, of the Rutgers agricultural department. And consider the late Luther Burbank. These either are teachers or of the teacher type of agriculturists, and the marks they have made or the things that they have done should be an inspiration for any young man with the least predilec tion for making things grow to take up agriculture as a vocation. The announced shortage of teachers of this branch of college training ought to encourage any such Impulse ‘ Many a last year’s lid covers a head full of sense. Editorial Comment Chairmen of national political committees, like Caesar's wife, should >be above suspicion. The present chairman of the Republican national committee, Claudius H. Hus ton, is under fire before the senate lobby committee. The committee has been able to bring Mr. Huston into the light as a common, or rather an uncommon, lobby ist in promotion of the Union Carbide company and American Cyanamid company bid for leasing Muscle Shoals water power and plants from the government. President Hoover was an eye witness to the discom fiture which a tarnishable chairman of the national committee can cause the Republican party. It should have been supposed that the trafficking of Will H. Hays in the oil-smeared Liberty bonds of Harry Sinclair, to clear up the party deficit resulting from his chairman ship in the 1930 campaign, wotld have caused President Hoover to resolve that no similar taint ever attach to his Mr. Huston’s present troubles date back to his presi dency of the Tennessee River Improvement association, which in itself seems to have been an unexceptionable or ganization of local interests such as spring up in many regions to advocate and promote improvements. This organization favored the bid of the American Cyanamid company for Muscle Shoals dams and plants. The Cyanamld company in turn had a contract to turn, over to the Union Carbide company part of the power from Muscle Shoals if the offer were accepted by congress. Mr. Hasten collected a total of $36,100 from the Carbide company, first $22,000 and later $14,100. In his testi mony he has wavered between describing this as a con tribution for the work of his Improvement association and calling it payment for maps and charts bought from the association by the Carbide company. In any case, Mr. Huston deposited the money with his New York broker and used it partially at least to cover his marginal account in stock speculation. It was also Shown that at the time he called upon the Cafbide company for the first contribution of $22,000, his brokerage* account was ~519,000 short As lobbying ethics go, there may be noUiir-3 irregular in these transactions. But they are certainly no proper activity in tbe background of a national committee chair man, especially when it is the national committee of the party in power. It to the fashion to underestimate President Hoover’s ability as a practical politician. He has given proof sev eral times that he to not so utterly at sea in this field as commonly supposed. Yet there is a foundation of truth In it. He does not move so freely and easily in the world of politics $s he does In that of Ideas. It Is understand able that he, feeling bto deficiency in these essential as pects of the presidency, should turn to someone who knows dwut su:h things to take charm of the national committee. He would do better to be true to himself and look for bto national chairman among the same ‘-type of men with whom he would prefer to surround himself In other things. Mr. Boston oaa not bo loyal both to President Hoover and tbe Upton Carbide company. Aa chairman of the jMttonal committee and its central director, he compromises the BspuMlean party.

MUMPS AND BULLIONS Mumps received’ mom attention during the war than it ever had re ceived since the red flannel period when Grandma used to cut tip an old suit of underwear to get the red flan nel to bind the swollen Jaw. When hundreds of men were collected 'to gether in training camps, an epidemic of mtteips occulted, , with the result that there were 21,735 cases in the army in 1917. Someone figured out that the United States government lost over. a. million, dollars during that one epidemic oMhe mumps. And when mumps and millions be«ui to be spoken of in the samebream.mUmps had more respect given to It. Mumps usually effects children of from five to fifteen years of age, and it rarely occurs in Infants and old people. - With most youngsters there is no very serious consequence since under proper treatment most cases get along favorably enough. How ever, when it attacks young men it has a frequent and serious conse quence of causing sterility.' Such an. effect may change the whole temper ament of the patient in after life. There seems to be a peculiar connec tion between mumps and .the sexual glands. Usually the glsfnds atrophy after ah attack. . Some of the complications which may. occur with children are deafness, catarrh of the "mfddle ear, acute uremia, and even a type of menin gitis. In order to avoid these after effects it is Important that the pa tient be properly cared for. The period' of incubation is from eight to 20 days after being exposed to the disease. Very often the first symptom Ira light cold with a slight fever and the patient notices * diffi culty in biting. and-cheWlrig, or a pain when eating acid fruit. Then comes the swelling just behind the angle of the jaw and below the ear. The pa tient would rather suffer the pangs of hunger than try to move the jaws in eating.

F. asks: “Is the use of tobacco, smoking or chewing, in moderation harmful? I have seen it stated that cigarette smoking is the cause 6f a large ‘percentage of idiocy in the world. Is this not a mistake, and has not the result of cigarette smoking been mistaken for the cause, that is, that cigarette smoking is the result of idiocy, and that anyone who smokes them has already become an idiot? According to statements I have read, Horace Greeley said that anyone who used tobacco was a hog. Was he correct?. I also have seen it stated that some corporations would not employ persons who smoked cigarettes, the reason being that it detracted from their efficiency, and that no one but a fool smoked them, and that they did not wish to employ a fool to work for them. Is this true?’* Answer: Many exaggerated state ments are made about the harmful effects of smoking. Cigarete smoking is.no doubt the most Injurious, due to the fact that the cigarette smokers usually inhale .and thereby coat the inside of their lungs with tobacco tars. Smoking is an acquired human habit which many people enjoy and doubt less against which there will never be any successful prohibition laws. Per haps hogs would smoke if they could. The heads of corporations you write about would be surprised if they knew how much secret smoking vent on among -their employes, More good will come from teaching temperance in moderation in smoking than through drastic laws or exaggerated statements about the harmful effects. Ultra Question: R. K. asks: “What kind of a vegetable.ls okra?" Answer: Okra is v a non-starchy vegetable used mostly through the southern states, where it is raised most extensively.' It makes an appe tizing dish if cooked in plain water, and may be mixed with any of the hon-starchy vegetables when desired. Copyright, 1930, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.
