THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
When a man gets into trouble columns are devoted to his de
flection frome the path of virtue. This was particularly noticeable
during the recent scramble to dig up the past ot George Graham
Rice. His history was reviewed from the day he was born, marital
entanglements and private history filled the columns of papers far
and wide, and Rice was everything that went to make up the citi
zen of unworth in the many territories in which he had trod and left
his imprint.
Now comes the story that all of the recent charges have been
dropped, but only about six lines are given to the news that Rice is
not under arrest, is not wanted for any criminal act and that he is in
business at a new stand.
Rice is cited merely from the fact that he is a widely known
character. Others have gone through the process of character macer
ation and come out in just about the same condition as Rice. The
rearing of the threads of virtue apart, the reviling of character, is
one of the easiest processes m the newspaper game, but to rehabili
tate is probably the hardest feature in journalism. Once let the
public read that a man is a crook, or a near crook, or criminal, no
matter what a trial reveals, the press that brought the stigma has
planted it so deep that all of the printers' ink in the world cannot
wipe out the last vestage of the original story.
The press, as a whole, refrains from publicity of that character.
There is a general desire to shield rather than flaunt frailties. It is
the knowledge that is suppressed that would make the greatest news,
but through respect for character and the fact that the smudge of
ink never entirely fades prevents many v a story coming before the
public.
The Appeal in the Rice case has never handled the matter in
story or comment form, but did publish the statement that he had
been vindicated of the charges preferred, not that Rice is or was
above suspicion, but from the outset it looked like more smoke than
lire and that disgruntled stockholders were looking for a place to
lay their grief.
The press, unfortunately, publishes some things that are true and
character ruining, but the suppressed facts are in many cases state
secrets that never get past the editor's desk.

Congress is ever going to start on the new tax system but does
not begin. Meanwhile, the national mischief of such delay is incal
culable. The United States government is living today very largely on
taxes which were accruing a year ago, even a year and a half ago.
Profits made early in 1920 did not undergo a tax-accounting until
after the close of the year. No taxes on them were collectible until
near the end of the first quarter of this year, the majority much
later. The last of them will not be payable until the fourth quarter
of this year. Thus taxes going into the treasury late in this year
may have been earned by the government, so to speak, in the very
first month of last year.
The same thing is true of corporation income taxes. It is true of
individual income taxes.
In other words, industrial companies, railroads, business houses,
individuals, may be paying into the treasury throughout 1921 large
amounts of taxes on profits and incomes made long ago, though they
are not now making a dollar, have not made a dollar in the first half
of this year and when December 31st comes around will not have a
dollar for the whole year.
What, then, is the United States government, now living on its
financial past, going to live on next year 1922 when all the taxes
accrued in 1920 and collected and spent in 1921 are cleaned up? No
body knows.
the taxes accrued in 1920 and collected and spent in 1921 are cleaned
up- Nobody knows.
Nobody knows because, aside from the proposed customs rev
enues which are and long will be an uncertain quantity, congress has
not yet lifted a finger in the matter of general tax revision to provide
revenue after the new tax schedules go into effect, whenever they do
go into effect.
Nobody would know even if it were intended to continue in ef
fect the existing profits and income taxes to apply to profits and in
comes of this year, because nobody knows what is now left to business
and to individuals of the profits and earnings and incomes of the year
of 1920 on which the United States government is living in this year

All that anybody does know is that the profits and earnings and
incomes of business and of individuals made in 1920 largely made
in the early part of 1920 at that have gone up in smoke by billions
of dollars. Therefore the chance for the government -to get taxes on
those vanished profits and earnings and incomes has also gone up
in smoke.
BIRTH OF THE ' PROTECTIVE TARIFF
The following historical account of the origin of the protective
tariff system as given by Representative Marvin Jones (Dem. Tex.)
may give a better understanding ot the policy underlying the Ford
ney tariff bill :
Mr. Chairman, in the early part of the eighth century a band of
marauders under a leader by the name of Tarif crossed the straits from
Africa and landed on the southern shores of Spain. His band was held
together by the spoils of conquest. The horde consisted of Moors, Ber
bers, Syrians, Africans and a few Arabs, all bent on plunder. They
were Mohammedans, and were in a sense the vanguard of the followers
of Islam in their westward swing, but cared less for tfteir religion than
for booty.
Tarif plundered the country and established a little seaport town,
Tarifa, which, with its old Moorish walls, to this day perpetuates the
name and memory of the leader of this motley aggregation of robbers
and conquerors. Tarif, later reinforced by his superior, Tarik, and his
chief, Musa, overran a great deal of Spain. This baron lived in a
chateau that was feudal in its magnificence, and in plundering fashion
levied certain duties on all commerce that came through or approached
the town of Tarifa. He made all the people who toiled pay tribute to
him as a sort of robber ruler. The gleaming sword was his collecting
agency, and he would hold up ship and caravan in piratical fashion and
make them pay tribute to sustain his conquest and luxury.
From that town Tarifa, which was named after the princely Tarif,
the English word "tariff" is taken. The name arose in heathenism. It
meant forced contribution of the many to the few. How fittingly that a
policy which finds its consummation in this bill should have such an
origin.
