IN CHICAG

HICAGO, as in NEW YORK,

salespeople in the finest stores say: "Protect delicate garments this way"

[graphic]

Have you ever shopped in Chicago? In the little jewel-boxes of shops along the lake-front? Or in the magnificent department stores standing so closely within the famous Loop?

[ocr errors]

Nowhere even in New York-will you find a more bewildering array of lovely garments silks and woolens so fragile, so delicate that you wonder breathlessly whether they ever could be washed!

But they can! The careful, intelligent people who sell them didn't hesitate a minute when a young woman asked them re

cently about laundering. "Yes," was their reply, "wash them with Ivory."

Just as in New York's greatest stores when the same question was put, Ivory was specified oftener than all other soaps together. Opinions differed about the safety of other soaps mentioned now and then; but about Ivory there was only one opinion: "It is pure and mild and safe enough for anything that pure water alone will not harm."

from different stores

The Horrible
Expense of Prohibition

P

ROHIBITION, it appears, is too expensive; it has cost too much to acquire and it costs too much to maintain.

That, at least, is the logical construction to be placed on the flaring headlines and colored comment-mostly by newspapers that have always been unfriendly to prohibition-on some startling and shocking revelations recently made in Washington.

Wayne B. Wheeler, bored as full of holes as a colander by Senator Reed's gimlet, admitted that the work of the Anti-Saloon League has cost about one cent per person per year for the past thirty years. The total of what has been spent in that third of a century is estimated by Mr. Wheeler at $35,000,000. It is this astonishing total, not the insignificant one cent per capita per annum, on which the headlines play.

Also, General Lincoln C. Andrews, chief prohibition enforcement official, went before the Appropriations Committee of the House and asked for twentyfive cents per capita to be used in prohibition enforcement during the next fiscal year. Twenty-five cents does not sound, and is not, large. So it is the grand total, $29,000,000, that is used to make prohibition sound like too expensive a luxury. But it turns out that of this sum, $15,000,000 is to be spent for building Coast Guard vessels and the like. Prohibition enforcement is only a part of the Coast Guard's work. The actual expense of prohibition enforcement, therefore, narrows down to perhaps fifteen cents per person.

It is not likely that the American people will regard that as an extravagant expenditure for enforcing a law which gives effect to an integral part of the Constitution of the United States.

With what the Anti-Saloon League has spent or will spend, the people as taxpayers are not concerned. The Senate committee that brought out the factsa special committee appointed to investigate expenditures in the Republican primary in Pennsylvania-appears to have had very little legitimate concern with

July 7, 1926

it. Something like $800,000 of AntiSaloon League money, it appears, has been spent in Pennsylvania since 1919 (that is, on an average about $150,000 a year), but there is still nothing in the record to show that any part of it had anything to do with the Republican primary, and certainly the rest of the $35,000,000 had nothing to do with it.

Still, Senator Reed's committee has forced the statement from Mr. Wheeler that the Anti-Saloon League of America, through its National and State organizations, has spent sums of money equivalent to about one cent per year per person of the population of the United States

Who Defeated the Haugen Bill? THE Haugen Bill-at once the most

radical and, for the radical purpose sought to be accomplished, the most efficacious, of all the proposed agricultural relief bills-has received its final defeat in the Senate by a vote of 39 to 45. It had the unalterable and open opposition of the Administration. Yet, as has been so frequently the case at this session, the Administration position was sustained not by the Republican majority so much as by a coalition of conservative Republicans and conservative Democrats.

The defections from the Administration Republican ranks were both more numerous and more violent than on any previous "show-down." Such Senators as Cummins of Iowa and Watson of Indiana, ordinarily thick-and-thin Administration supporters, became the leaders of the revolt against the Administration on the Haugen Bill. Administration support west of the Mississippi, so far as the Administration party, is concerned, almost vanished. It consisted of Phipps of Colorado and Shortridge of California Borah of Idaho voted against the bill-not, however, because he opposed its provisions, but because he believed it unconstitutional in form. Warren of Wyoming was paired against it. There is no record of how Smoot of Utah stood, since he was absent and unpaired; but even if all Western Republicans who did not vote for the bill counted as being against it, the total is only five.

Number 10

The Administration was more fortunate with regard to Western Democrats. King of Utah, Walsh of Montana, Reed. of Missouri, Sheppard of Texas, and Robinson of Arkansas, not to mention Broussard and Ransdell of Louisiana, which State may or may not be counted as west of the Mississippi, voted against the bill.

I'

And How Will It Affect Whom? F caucuses had been held to determine the attitude of the two parties, the Haugen Bill would have been defeated in both, but more decisively in the Democratic caucus. There would have been a Republican majority of one and a Democratic majority of six against it.

Perhaps it is futile to discuss motives or significances, but both are interesting subjects of speculation.

There are, to say the least, indications that the pressure for so-called agricultural relief is so strong west of the Mississippi River and in some agricultural States east of it that Senators, despite their loyalty to the Administration, were unable to withstand it.

The twenty-one Democrats who voted against the bill were, of course, not particularly anxious to help the Administration. They justified their position on the ground that the Haugen Bill would confer a special privilege, essentially similar to special privileges conferred under Republican tariff laws, and that the Democratic Party is traditionally opposed to special privilege. The tariff, in a certain sense, was as much in the minds of Senators as were the economic features of the Haugen Bill.

It is an interesting fact that most of the Western Senators who voted against the bill on its merits-all of the Republicans and several of the Democratsrepresent constituencies whose main agricultural products are strongly protected under the existing tariff law: sugar in Louisiana, Utah, and Colorado; citrus fruits and other orchard products in California; wool in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana.

The ultimate effect of the defeat of the Haugen Bill remains to be seen. The immediate effects were declarations of

war on the protective tariff and efforts by the Administration to secure adoption of an alternative and, in the opinion of Administration leaders, less radical form of agricultural relief law. The President issued a statement calling upon the Senate to pass the Fess amendment to the Jardine Co-operative Marketing Bill. This is quite similar to the Tincher Bill in the House. Under the Fess plan, however, the farmers' co-operative organizations would have no voice in selecting the members of the Farmers' Marketing Commission. The President later indicated that he would accept revision of this point so that members of the Commission would be nominated by the co-operatives, as provided for in both the Tincher and Haugen Bills.

Despite its vehement opposition to the Haugen Bill, the Administration has gone far since Congress convened toward meeting the demands of the agricultural leaders. In his Message to Congress and in his address of the preceding day to the American Farm Bureau Federation the President proposed nothing beyond scientific assistance through the Department of Agriculture in the co-operative marketing of farm products. This proposal was embodied in the Co-operative Marketing Bill which took the name of the Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Jardine. A little later, after the storm in the corn belt began to blow lustily, an Administration measure was drawn providing for more direct aid. Still later, as the storm grew, this was withdrawn and the Tincher Bill was substituted, providing for a revolving fund of $100,000,000 and a farmer-selected Farmers' Marketing Commission.

Quite evidently, the weight of the Western pressure has been felt elsewhere than in the Senate chamber.

Agricultural relief will be an issue in the Congressional elections this fall, and very likely in the Presidential election two years hence.

colleges seem to think that they must supply the lack by attaching the handles to the backs of the names. Of course, most academic degrees are academic. They are for the most part real evidence of scholarship in some grade. But no commencement season goes by without the granting of honorary degrees to men whose claim to distinction is not that of scholarship at all, but some other form of achievement, often as worthy or even worthier. Perhaps George Fisher Baker, the eminent banker, has intellectual interest above the ordinary, but his achievements have been in the field of finance and railroading. If he were an Englishman, he would have been in succession Sir George Baker, Viscount Erie, and the Earl of Troy. Being an American and donor of the sum endowing the Graduate School of Business Administration at Harvard, he gets from Harvard an LL.D. Perhaps some day our universities will provide a special degree for the intelligent wealthy who give to good causes—and, say, for the unintelligent the Latin initials for pounds, shillings, and pence-L. S. D. No one wishes to undervalue the benefactions of our wise leaders of industry, but the value put upon them cannot be accurately expressed in terms that have been held sacred to the achievements of the scholar and the savant.

Naval Academy Appointments

SOME

OME weeks ago The Outlook commented on the fact that the Naval Academy at Annapolis was used only at about half its capacity for turning out educated seamen. The result of The Outlook's comment was a number of in

quiries from interested fathers who had failed to get their sons named for entrance. Of course, it is Congress, as Commander Stapler points out on another page, that is responsible for the present limitation on the number of midshipmen. We note, with interest, that the report of the Board of Visitors for 1926, just issued, recommends an increase in the number of appointments allotted to Senators and members of Congress from three to four each. As there are ninety-six Senators and four hundred and thirty-five Congressmen, this would mean an increased potential of five hundred and thirty-one students, which would go far toward filling the unused space in classrooms.

Incidentally, the law now provides for the selection of one hundred young men

from the enlisted force of the Navy for cadetships and twenty-five from the Naval Reserve.

The "Upstairs Jeweler "

F

'OR years past, up and down the Pacific coast, a trade fire has been smoldering which recently has burst into flame. The struggle has been between the so-called upstairs jeweler and the large jewelry merchants of San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles who do their business in the usual way "on the street," and are obliged to pay for the privilege a much higher rent than that required from their upstairs rivals. As a result of this reduced overhead the upstairs jeweler is uniformly able to undersell the downstairs man and, as a consequence, the downstairs jeweler has been seeking, so it is claimed, to freeze out the man upstairs by cutting off his supply from the wholesalers.

Within the last few weeks the Federal Grand Jury in Los Angeles has taken action in the matter, and has issued indictments against twenty jewelry establishments, including nine in San Francisco. The indictments are brought under the Sherman Anti-Trust Law, and charge restraint of trade and other practices designed to drive the upstairs group out of

business.

The Government alleges that the conspiracy was carried on through the Eighteen Karat Club and that wholesalers and manufacturers who refused to withhold their goods from the pricecutting trade were placed on the black list. Our correspondent in San Francisco reports that dozens of jewelers from that city were subpoenaed to Los Angeles recently to testify before the Grand Jury

there.

The case is, of course, one of National importance. In cities like San Francisco and New York, where ground space tends to become more and more limited, the only way in which the trader can escape the steadily rising rental on the ground floor is by sacrificing the advertisement of a shop window and going upstairs. It is, however, claimed by the "legitimate" jeweler that, in the present instance, the much-advertised price-cutting by the upstairs man is not genuine. The goods sold at the cut rate, he contends, are inferior goods, and the custom of the upstairs jeweler largely depends upon misrepresentation. However this may be, the decision of the Federal courts in Los Angeles will be
