I THE FORDNEY LAW (Contributed) The Fordney emergency tariff bill has passed the senate, and will no doubt soon become a law, as the house is expected to give it a prompt O. K ing. Whether this bill will prove as effective a restorative measure as its authors assert. Is somewhat problematical in vie wof the extraordinary gconomic conditions now prevailing in the world: but there can scarcely be two opinions as to the authoritative assurance which it affords that congress is awakened as never before to a realization of the fact that our whole vast superstructure of industry and commerce is fmmdationed upon agriculture—that the latter Is today, as at the beginning of civilization, a man’s most essential and productive enterprise.

The emergency bill is therefore frankly designed to help the farmer —to give him the full benefit of whatever highly protective customs duties can do toward reviving the greatest single industry in the United States. All of which is healthy and to the good. *For the certainly emergency treatment of some sort is needed to relieve the economic pressure on agriculture. It is only necessary to glance at the principal schedules of the bill to be convinced of the praiseworthy object of its authors. They have literally "gone the limit" in levying rates to protect the American farmer from destructive competition in the domestic market. Henceforth he will have nothing to fear from the indiscriminate “dumping" of foreign farm products. That favorite practice of the foreigner is forever taboo. Here are some of the principal rates of duty fixed in the bill: Wheat, 35 cents per bushel; -corn. 15 cents per bushel; beans. 2 cents per pound; potatoes. 25 cents per bushel; flaxseed, 30 cents per bushel; onions. 40 cents per bushel; milk, fresh. 2 cents per gallon; cream, 5 cents pel - gallon; butter, and substitutes therefor. 6 cents per pound; cheese and substitutes, 23 per cent, ad valorem: sugar, 1.6 cents per pound; cattle. 30 per cent, ad valorem; sheep, one year or over, $2 per head, less than one year old, $1 per head; cotton, seven cents per pound; wool, unwashed., 15 cents per pound, washed 30 cents per

pound; scoured. 45 cents per pound; tobacco, wrapper and filler, $2.35 per pound: apples 30 cents per bushel. ' By far the best summarizing comment that has yet been made on the emergency tariff bill is contained in the report of the majority of the ways and means committee, and it is worth repeating: “It is not sectional. It is not for the benefit of one class, because its passage will be for the good of all. The purchasing power of the farmer has been in large part destroyed and must be restored before good times can be hoped for. The consuming public and the commercial public have absolute and definite interest with the farmer in helping hi mto make cost and a fair profit.” That succinctly and truthfully sets forth the distinguishing merit of the emergency tariff bill. Its purpose is beyond cavil, for it comprehends nothing less than the economic welfare of the whole country, which is so direct ly dependent upon the prosperity of the farming interest. Whether that interest can be more effectively promoted by government centering its efforts on conserving the domestic market by strictly excluding foreign products, or on creating new markets and outlets for the,farmer's products by entering into more liberal trade arrangements with other countries, is one of the gravest and most paradoxical problems of these war-upset times; but-we imagine that not even the most partisan critic of the em ergency tariff hill will refuse to accord some measure of praise to congress for its efforts to make the United States a self-contained unit economically by raisin gas much of our own foodstuffs as possible, especially when the present high freight rates and unsettled world financial conditions are making it so difficult for the farmer to sell his surplus products abroad.
