Congress will pass some ort of measure giving the country this new and much needed asset of our government. If suitable measure I passed it will mean that th tariff ul timately will be taken out of politics. And instead of the voters reversing themselves every few years on their method : ef deahng with this great economic problem, the tariff will be put in the hands of expert who will keep the law up-to-date and will see to it that, schedules a nearly fair as can he to all sections of the country will always be in operation. 1 We are1 confident that this method of dealing with the tariff will meat the approval - of. the honest manufac t-tirers and other business men of the country, as well be satisfactory to the great Majority of consumers. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States is already be .. tk. miuwUIm. i? 1 1 1. .. l v t ion's Business," the organ, of the Chamber, has been waging a campaign in favor of a Tariff Commission. 5n it January number, that publication answers the argument made uguin.'t . tha' proposed commission and tells us, that the sort -of com mission which the Chamber favors would have no voice what r ....... . .... . ever In determining national policy as to a tariff, .but would merely ascertain facts pertaining to business, without which a really scientific tariff cannot' be built up. The Chamber holds, and properly so, that "such facts are absolutely cm eentiaJ, regardless of the sort of tariff policy to which Con ' gress may be committod, whether that policy be for a high r ow tariff, or one for revenue only." If the commission is established we think it should le clothed with as much power as possible, for otherwise it will be a failure. If it is to have no power to change schedules. to lower or raise them, as it deems best sf Congress must ratify . everything the comanuiou does then we would have lb same troublesome tariff question before the people every two years. And in the future, as in the past, the tariff would b made the. main issue on which the two great political parties would go before the country for sup)ori.-Tho lie publican party, of course, will not favor a commission with power to act on its own Initiative. The O. O. P.; leader vast to keep the tariff ia l politics,' because they recognize that this is th only way they will be able to continue to get big; campaign contribution from the dishonest buauwis in terest of the country who hope to secure special privileges by elevating tie Republicans to power. , 5 ., ,. , , Ws very mnch fear that the Chamber of Commerce of the United BUtca is throwing sop to these G. 0. P. leader when It favors Tariff Communion, with few power. The people iwv drfnltely and emphatically put their stamp of appro, ral upon a tariff for revenue only. Honest businea men are bound to admit that this is the only sort of tariff which is fair' to all the people. Then why not establish a permanent Tariff Commission and give it definite powers to act unfler tiiis broad and wholesome policy and leave tho making of tariff schedule with expert who know their business! The sly reason why thi cannot be done-if, indeed, it turns ut that it cannot-4 to be found in the fact that the dis honest manufacturers of this country will not be satisfied with any eort of tariff policy under which there is no hope their being granted special .privilege at . th expense of th rest of th, jseople.of the country. ', DOUGHTON IS RIGHT Representative Douhton of the Eighth District is a man with a big body and a big brain. But best of all, he has a head full of common sense. And by this we mean he has developed to a marked degree the ability to judge the com mon mind. Having lived all his life among the people, he knows the mind of the people. He knows what the people the great common people are thinking about. He knows the likes and disliki of the people of his district. And that 8tne pretty near saying that Jie knows, about what .the prcpie 01 tne entire cotaitry hkc and dou't like. .Jor'an American Is an American wherever you find iim. 'Ilico cesc of thinking is pretty much the same, whether he Jives in Alleghany county North Carolina, or' in J'ike Missouri. . '. .' THINGS THAT UEVER HAPPEN uv county Therefore, we make bold to any. tliat. Mr. VoiightunJ sjieaking for the great moss of the people of this country when lie tells Ob-. Kitlim, the k-ader of the majority in the House, that the jicople don't like this stamp tax 'business. And lie is right whan he insists that the Democratic admin istration should find some method less burdensome by which to raw the revenue necessary to meet the running expenses of the government during the war in Europe, which even the Hepublieang mustj admit has cut down the revenue derived from duties on imports to such an extent that some other means of raising funds mutt be found. ' As Mr. Dough ton points out, the stamp fax wag all right as a temporary measure. It was the best that could be done under the conditions which tiro country suddenly found it self facing a yeur ngo. But now, when.we have had time to recover from tho first shock of tho European, catastrophe which upset commerce and shook the industrial enterprises of the whole world to their very foundations, the govern, nwmt ought to U able to find a better method to raise rcv3 nue than by levying racial stamp taxes on deeds, notes, tele graph and telephone ftiessugeH and other things of such gen- eial and necessary use by rich and poor alike. Just what other method would prove more successful amd at the eanie time Ires burdensome and objectionable, we do .ot profess to know absolutely. But t strikes us tliat the method which should be adopted is one by which those who are milking enormous profits aH a direct result of the war would be required to bear the extra burden, of direct taxation which is made necessary because of the war. The ammunition man ufacturers, for .instance, arc much more able to pay a spec ial tax than are tho rank and filo of the people. We hope Representative Kitchin, as chairman of the Ways nnd fcan8 Committee of the House. esponsrbility of framing the new revenue measure will con. firicr seriously the advice given him by the Eighth District's sensible Representative and find a way or make one By which the people will be Telieved of the duty of purchasing gov- crnment atuniiwi for so many of the necessary things they use. ... .
