THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE
Undoubtedly, the tariff is beginning to force itself into
the limelight as an issue to be passed upon by the American
people. One may assume, immediately, that those who
benefit by high tariffs will yell with pain every time reduc
tion is suggested. One may not assume, off-hand, that be
cause of this interest that the injury is imaginary or that the
United States can abolish tariffs.
It is fair, however, to discount some of the loud shrieks
that arise at the mention of low’er trade barriers and to con
sider whether the gain to the protected interest is big enough
from the standpoint of national welfare, to offset the price
that the people, who are consumers of protected things,
have to pay. In other words, the national economic well
being should come first even though one is willing to weigh
the respective interests and diverse testimony.
One can easily see that world conditions have changed
somewhat since the United States began its tariff policy.
Nation after nation has followed our example. Higher tar
iffs have been set up, restrictive quotas are general and al
lotments have distributed markets at the whim of almost
every country. Under such a load international trade has
dwindled and the question arises whether all nations might
not profit by some lowering of trade barriers to stimulate
world commerce.
It is not our purpose in this short article to attempt any
answer to the question raised. In the first place we cannot
say that we know' the correct solution of the problem. We
merely point out, at this time, that the American people
might as well do some thinking. It may be that our future
welfare as a nation, and the standard of living of our farm
ers and workers, will depend upon w'hat we decide.—Ex.
TRADE WITH RUSSIA
Having recognized Russia, it is regrettable that a satis
factory treaty of commerce cannot be arranged. While the
possibilities of trade with Russia have been grossly exag
gerated, there is no doubt that there is a market there for
an amount of American goods and natural products that
would be helpful to our interests if financial arrangements
could be made under w'hich it could be made fairly sure
that we would not only get payment for shipments but get
back in due time the money advanced for such payment.
The difficulty is that the only possible buyer in Russia is
the Soviet government, which makes it impossible to do any

A MOUSE IN BUSINESS
Th exploits of Mickey Mouse on the screen are well
known but few people are aware that his business affairs,
other than celluloid, require offices in New York, Chicago,
Toronto, London, Paris, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan and Sydney,
Australia. More than sixty concerns have been licensed to
reproduce him in book form, on package covers and on toys.
Let it be noted, however, that Mickey’s guardians are
careful that he lends his name and likeness to nothing upon
which mothers may frown—Exchange.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. W aite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Ability plus tact, plus honesty, plus hard work, plus co
operation make SUCCESS—and that is what we are all striv
ing for.
Many citizens boost the home city because they believe
in it and want others to do the same.
Nowadays the business men of the cities are going to the
business men of the farms, not to tell them how to run their
business, but to take counsel with them concerning their
common problems. Many communities have taken this
step and many additional ones have broken down the bar
riers and are working hand in hand with the farmers in the
solution of their common problems.
“Peace of mind” helps you in your daily work. Have
peace of mind by assisting in plans for the advancement of
your city and community.
A good citizen is one who is willing at all times to make
some sacrifice of his time and money to advance the welfare
of the community in which he lives. Be a good citizen !
Cities must think in the days of today and tomorrow
—not in the days of yesterday.
What other cities have done, your city can do in propor
tion to its capacity.
The man who hustles gets the business.
In these days there is little room for sentimental slo
gans in order to gain foreign trade. The fact is that our ex
port trade has never been a shadow, and we don’t want it to
become one. To place any obstacle in the way of this trade
would be tantamount to community suicide.
When citizens of a community get together, stay to
gether and pull together, they accomplish great things.
The famous Peabody Hotel at Memphis, Tennessee, is
running advertisements in many newspapers in the south,
inviting those who can to spend a week-end at the Peabody.
The ads tell of their superbly appointed rooms and their five
famous restaurants. This plan should be carried out by
hotels in all large cities. They would draw much business
by advertising in the newspapers in smaller cities and
towns.
Our politicians would learn much if they would listen
to what is said about them and read what people think of'
them. They don’t seem to learn much by experience.
