THE "FLEXIBLE" TARIFF
The flexible clause in the tariff
bill, which would authorize the Pres
ident to revise the tariff at his own
discretion, is simply a proposal to
transfer an important taxing power
from Congress to the President. That
is to say, it is another attempt to
modify the fundamental structure of
the Government, without the for
mality of changing the Constitution.
The tariff is a tax. If there is any
power in a republic which belongs
peculiarly to the legislative branch
of the Government it i? the power to
levy taxes. Indeed as every school
boy knows, this forms one of the
clearest distinctions between repub
lics and monarchies.
Because the Supreme Court held in
the Hampton case that the flexible
clause of the tariff act of 1922 was
constitutional, it has been hastily as
sumed in some quarters that the
legality of the principle of flexibility
is no longer open to question. Such
a conclusion is unwarranted, either
in practice or by the facts in this
case. On the contrary, as Senator
Waggoner of New York pointed out
Tuesday, there is very good ground
for believing that the Supreme Court
would reverse itself if the issue were
presented again. The law of 1922 as
sumed certain things to be true, and
the court took the law at its face
value in making its decision. Since
then experience has demonstrated
that the assumptions were erroneous.
For example, the law assumed there
are definite production costs for all
commodities, and that these costs
can be accurately ascertained by the
Tariff Commission. The experience
of the last seven years has shown
that the costs vary widely, and that
in virtually every important commod
ity investigated by the commission,
its members have disagreed on the
costs. The Supreme Court held in
the Hampton case that under the
act the President was merely em
powered to act on an undisputed set
of facts. It is obvious seven years
later that the court was mistaken.
and there is no reason for disputing
Senator Wagner's opinion that the
court would correct its mistake if
given an opportunity. It would be no
novelty in the history cf the court.
The argument for flexibility is
simple too simple, alas. It is that
tariff revision would be more "effi
cient" under the President than un
der Congress. This,, of course, is an
argument for dictatorship. No doubt
one man with absolute power can
govern a nation more "efficiently"
than an assembly of men with limit
ed powers and conflicting opinions,
provided that man is always wise and
benevolent. But after a good many
trials the people of the earth gener
ally have decided that it is better
to endure the defects and inefficien
cies of popular government than to
take the chance of giving absolute
power to one man who may turn out
to be wicked or unwise and exper
ience has justified that decision
It is difficult to understand how-
Mr. Hoover can support the provision
in the present bill. True, he is an
engineer, and hence views with im
patience the delays and inefficiencies
of representative government. Nev
ertheless, on this particular question
he has declared himself with great
vigor and distinctness in favor of the
relatively slow and cumbersome pro
cess which is provided by the Consti
tution. Following Gov. Smith's tar
iff speech at Louisville during the
last campaign, in which he advocated
strengthening the Tariff Commission
and making it a nonpartisan body.
Mr. Hoover replied at Boston in the
following robust language:
The Tariff Commission Js a
most valuable arm of the Gov
ernment. It can be strengthen
ed and made more useful in
many ways. But the American
people will never consent to dele
gating authority over the tariff
to any commission, whether non
partisan or bipartisan. Our peo
ple have the right to express
themselves at the ballot on so
vital a question as this. There
Is only one commission upon
which delegation of that author
ity can be made. That is the
great commission of their own
choosing the Congress of the
United States and the President.
As a matter of fact, Gov
amun
had not advocated the delegation of
tariff -making power to the Tariff
Commission Mr Hoover mm vi
commission Air. Hoover quite evi-
dently misunderstood him. But Mr.
Hoover gave utterance to a sound
principle when he said that
the
power should remain where the
founders of the Government had
placed it. That he should have
abandoned it so soon is astonishing.
The proposal which he now supports
more revolutionary than that
which he mistakenly accused Gov.
Smith of advocating.
There is no more reason why the
"'-"
than that he Should levy income
taxes. That power does not belonsjA.
to any one man nor to any commie-
sion. It belongs, as Mr. Hoover said
. . .
at BoBton, to the Congress of the D7
United States and the President. St.

THE BRAIN IS SUPREME
Remember how you used to take
a little fireworks stick called a spark
ler, and whirl it about? You wove
circles, fieure eiehts. all sorts of
fantastic patterns in the air. And
at that time you didn't realize that
the figures you were seeing didn't
exist at all. It was your eyes that
were deceiving you.
Try the same experiment any time
with a match or a glowing cigar.
You can't trust your eyes. That's
why so many of us need classes.
You can't trust your nose, either.
The sweetish almond smell may come
from deadly cianide of potasium.
Many of the poison gases in the
World War had a not unpleasant
smell at first.
Your ears are just as unreliable.
Just try to whistle a tune in some
one's presence. Your whistler's all
right. It's your ear that's playing a
trick on you.
Your taste, allied to smell, is equal
ly deceptive. The sense of touch is
probably the most reliable of all, but
it is a poor thing at best.
There, if the five senses, are such
poor servants, how is it we get along
so well with their aid? It is be
cause the brain directing them is
more perfect than any one sense.
When the eyes fail, the brain orders
the touch-sense and the hearing
sense to help out.
No life, no home, no business, can
be successfully carried on without a
central mind more capable than any
of the subordinates. Just as your
sense, co-operating, achieve what no
single one could do, so in your
every activity you will find most
success if you, too, learn to cooper
ate. Know when to subordinate
yourself, and be afraid when it comes
your time to command.

TO SERVE YOURSELF
Solomon Levitan, state treasurer
of Wisconsin, recently gave some ad
vice to a group of young bank em
ployes in Milwaukee that might well
be passed on to all young men who
are just beginning their business
careers.
"You cannot do everything your
desires indicate," Mr. Levitan told
the future bank presidents. "Your
promotion depends on your habits.
your courteous treatment of custom
ers, your efficiency, and above all,
upon your honesty. Success in bank
ing means self-denial and self-con
trol. You learn that the best inter
ests of your employer are your in
terests, and it is your duty to pro
tect them. When you give your best
service to the bank and to its cus
tomers, you are serving yourself
best."
We suggest that paragraph is
worth the attention of every young
man. whether he be worKing in a
bank or in a factory.
