LEMONS AND OTHER THINGS Just as the people of Indianapolis are beginning to enjoy the blessing of reasonably priced lemons,” says the News of that city they hear that Senator Harding, in response to the demand of certain California lemon growers, proposes to deprive them of that blessing by raising the tariff on lemons, though it is now % a cent a pound, or 42 cents a box. We are all complaining, and justly, of the high cost of living, but the monment that that cost shows some signs of dropping, the people are told that it must be kept up, and that they must continue to pay high prices. Lemons a few months ago they were wholesaling at $7.00 a box. Now they are selling at from $3.00 to $3.50. This, it seems, is not to. be permitted. Rather the people are to be heavily taxed to keep up prices for the benefit of a few lemon growers in California who made enormous profits during the ‘war. One wonders whether it is the ‘Dolicy of Senator Harding to deal in this way with every case_of falling prices. - e : “It is announced that during the first six months of 1920 thera was an increase of 1,400 per cent in the im‘portation of rairins, most of them from Malaga. "The imports anounted to 8,000,000 pounds, “a quantity,” so the depgriemnt of agricullure says, “that exceeds the total raisin exports from that port for the seven-year period, 1813-1919, inclusive.” No doubt this increase is partly, perhaps largely, due to tie use of raisins in the manufacture of alchoholic beverages. During the war the imports of raisins, as of everything else, fell off heavily, said to be closely organized, took advantage of the W“ choot lated by the state of the exchange

be glad to know is to what extent Senator Harding proposes to interbeginning, in the direction of lower prices—those prices which we have all been clamoring for. In ome of his speeches Saturday, he said: “Mark my words, the tariff will be an issue Men can smile fow, but you will hear a lot of shouting about the tariff before the campaign is over.” We think that there will be “a lot of shouting™ It the tariff is to be used, as Senator Harding seems 10 suggest, o maintain prices at their present level, and prevent a reduction of the high cost ot living. Meanwhile the great is?nu« are the league of nations, and the senator's plan to make a s'pafnle peace with Germany. From these it is not likely that the thoughts of men and women can be diverted by an attempt to raise the old tariff issue. This iz a new day, and people are thinking new thoughts.™ : : THAT WINONA DEBATE

~ In commenting on the recent league debate at Winona the Warsaw Union has this to say: : “The opinon is almost unanimous among clear thinking and independent people that Senator Hitcheock completely out classed Major Morris in the league of nations debate held. at Winona Lake last Monday night Some republicans are disposed to criticise and blame some one for not having a stronger debater to represent the republican side. A few have even intimated that the local democratic management put one over on the republicans. e - “The plain truth is that the local management is' the case of both parties had nothing to do with the selection of the debaters. Tlé Winona management started the movement by inviting both Governor Cox and Senater Harding to debate upon the| league of nations; and these men were sent Instead as their representatives, selected by their respective committees either national or state. Mr. Morris was sent here as one of the very best republican advocates; as he is. He gave the whole case as thoroughly as it can be put for that side. His speech was well received and loudly applauded by strong partisans who enjoy a partisan speech rather than a debate. Indeed Major Morris’ effort would by many have been considered a masterpiece if it ‘had . been forced to meet the plain cold facts in open: debate. He gave just what had been handed out through the senate: d partisan sources and the repub .ns néed not expect anything bel . It was an appeal to passion an.! partisan prejudice which is so «¢i: ctive with many people but does not i<ach the open and broad thinking mind." L ;

Township trustees are beginning to wory as to how they are going to meet public expenditures in future and keep the tax levy down in compliance with the reform tax law says the Columbia City Post. The improvement of the roads, the increase in teachers’ salaries, the Increased cost of supplies, the increfsed cost of labor and repairs on building, interest on borrowed funds, can mean but one thing, and that is that much morg money will have to be taken from the taxpayers to meet the demands. There can be no alternative, and trustees as well as all other officials who have ‘anything to do with tax levies, should make the levies sufficiently high to meet the demands whatever the amount may be. ; | The last extra session of the Indiana legislature cost the tax payers $29.000. The question is, Was it worth the question is, Was it worth the money? money? There is dissatisfaction and confusion over nearly every act passed. A : ~ Republican orators keep telling us what a calamity we have escaped hy not becoming a member of the league of nations, yet they agree to form a little league of their own and have the United States join it. . e “The platform adopted by the demncratic party at San Francisco is a promissory note, and I shall see to it that it will ‘be paid in full, every dollar adn every cent."—Governor J. M. Cox. : :
