As to this dilemma which congress
is involved with the tax deliberations,
the usual way of dealing with dilem

The canning factory can sign up

OUE SUN IS A DYING STAB
Hiram Percy Maxim in the Scien
tic American discusses the sun in this
manner: The radiation from the sun
is at the expense of its mass. Not less
than 360,000 million tons of matter
is destroyed every day in order to
maintain the present radiation of the
Eun. Poor old Sol weighs 3C0.000
tons less today than he weighed at
this time yesterday.
By our human standards this prod
igal expenditure cannot keep up for
very long, but our human standards
are not astronomical standards. Com
putation shows that the sun is not
very much different today than it
was when the planets were born. The
weight of the sun is so inconceivably
great that in order to show any ma
terial change in weight or radiation
we must go back, not 2.000 million
years, but 5 million million years.
The sun weighed about twice as much
then as it does now, and was corre
spondingly brighter and hotter.
The sun is unquestionably a dying
star. It loses some of its weight ev
ery year, and this means a loss of
gravitational pull and a loss of radia
tion intensity. In other words, we
may expect the earth to draw grad
ually farther away from the sun, and
we may also expect the sun gradually
to cool off as millions of years roll
around.
This means one thing only death
by cold. Ju.st as sure as we can be
cf anything, are we sure that life
will eventually be frozen off the
earth. Temperatures need drop only
10 0 degrees btlow where they are
now in order to kill a great many of
us.
Seme probably would survive, and
cf these some of their ultimate off
spring would have characteristics
favorable to very cold weather. If
time enough elapsed men and women
would evolve into Eskimo types. Even
this ignores the question of our food
supply, which would be affected much
earlier. In any case, in the end even
these descendents of ours must per
ish. This is a gloomy outlook. It has
one consolation and that is that it
will be a long time before all this
happens. It works out to be some
thing of the order of a million million
years. As we have been here only
one-half of one million, it becomes
evident that things have just begun,
and that there is a long time ahead in
which to build and plan and enjoy.
:o:
Economy in city affairs can cut the
tax levies a small amount, but with
assessed valuations going down for
the city as a whole and certain fixed
sums that must be paid such as in
terest and retirement principal on
bonds, water, light and police to say
nothing of parks, library, etc., the
opportunity to make a sizeable slash
.just doesn't exist

HYDE'S "PRIZE B00B"
NOT THE ONLY ONE
Secretary Arthur M. Hyde has
found the "prize boob in the history
of finance." And it is none other than
the agricultural department over
which he presides.
Mr. Hyde, in short, has in this
matter the courage and the good
sense to sound a warning concerning
the agricultural relief loans that are
now being made out of the fifty mil
lion dollars assigned to the depart
ment by the Reconstruction Finance
corporation. He sa3"s this money is
being paid out on thinner security
and with more losses than ever be
fore in the history of money lending.
And it can't be stopped.
"There isn't any way of getting out
of it." agrees Mr. Hyde. "We have to
face the fact that we have gone into
business at the agricultural depart
ment. I don't knew what we are go
ing to do with all this wheat and
cotton. Nobody seems to want wheat
and cotton any more and everybody
seems to be raising it."
Well, who put the government into
the agricultural business? None other
than President Hoover, v. ho thunder
ed against "state socialism" in his
campaign and then supported the
agricultural marketing act. Why was
he forced to do that? Because his
party had. year in and year out, sup
ported the same kind of tariff and di
rect subsidy for vested business in
terests. Ncr does the parallel stop there.
Why cannot Mr. Hyde get out of the
thing he is doing? Because the Re
construction Finance corporation is
making some mighty queer looking
direct loans to business. One has only
to recall the S12.S00.0OO set aside for
the Missouri Pacific railroad a great
sum advanced to shoulder on the
country obligations that New York
bankers themselves ought to be tak
ing care of. Why cry about the
"thin" loans to farmers? The banks
and the railroads are getting theirs.
Of course this business of trying to
lift ourselves by our bootstraps is
working out just as Mr. Hyde says.
So long as the government looks af
ter wheat and cotton, the surplus
will pile up. Nobody may want these
crops but if the government takes care
of surplusses, the producers should
worry.
The only way t" get out of this
mess is to "come clean" all the way
through. If we are going to cut off
the "thin" loans to farmers, then we
have got to cut off the "thin" tariff
subsidies to big business, the "thin"
direct subsidies to ship owners, the
"thin" loans to banks and railroads.
There is more than one "prize boob."

BLAMING OUR COPYISTS
Who could have imagined that a
republican administration would Bet
up a loud wail about the bad effects
of high tariff? Of course. It is the
tariffs which perfidious foreigners are
ererecting against our exports. Our
own beloved and truly American
tariffs are perfect. Yet a survey of the
outlook for international trade, just
published by the department of com
merce at Washington, sees only a
dark outlook and predicts a further
"contraction" in our sales of mer
chandise abroad. The chief cause as
signed is the new policy of protection
in England, along with the adoption
of higher rates and "quotas" by the
principal nations on the continent.
The result is such an outburst of
selfish nationalise, such a stupid re
turn to the discarded principles of
the old mercantile system, such a re
striction and even strangulation of
foreign commerce profitable to the
countries which foster it, that a per
iod of declining exports and Imports
is clearly indicated.
In all this there is not a wod about
American responsibility for rousing
this spirit of discrimination and re
taliation in trade across national
boundaries. We had full warning of
the danger before the Hawley-Smoot
tariff was enacted in 1930. Congress
was appealed to by economists and
induhtrialists not to rush again into
that tariff blind alley. President
Hoover was solemnly besought by
more than one thousand political
economists and financiers not to sign
the tariff bill. He naturally has great
respect for such experts, but felt
obliged to listen to the expert politic
ians, who assured him that if he ve
toed the tariff bill his party would be
ruined. As it is, the party has been
drawn pretty near the edge of ruin.
and its protective policy did not in
the least hinder its being swept to
ward the abyss. But our own excess
es and collies in the way of protection
have not prevented us from gravely
pointing out to European countries
the grave error which they are mak
ing in imitating us. Since the classic
example of the Gracchi complaining
of sedition, there has been nothing so
inconsistent or impudent as the Unit
ed States tearfully reproaching Eu
rope for going tariff -mad.

far from being good. Let's keep af

mile and a half stretch fixed. With the
road now paved from Omaha almost

it does look like the department of

in good shape. Their motive was O.
