UNITED ON A TARIFF COMMISSION

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

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.
