The underlying fallacy of economists’ assumptions is the notion
that profits on production entirely disappear when the producer be-
comes a consumer. Such an idea was never put forth In the days when
protection was afforded solely to manufactures. Then it was

It should be clear that, comprising between 30 and 40 per cent of
the population and producing about 25 per cent of industrial values,
living, moreover, under less artificial conditions, the farmers consume
much more of raw material and considerably less of finished articles
than do the city dwellers. That the city dwellers should bo supposed
to produce more than three-fourths of the nation’s wealth, when they
make up less than two-thirds of the population, and really depend for
subsistence upon the other one-third, is proof of the artificial value
which is added to commodities in congested centers. Because of this
artificial value it is difficult for the city dweller to secure products
of the farm, and for the farmer to secure products of the city. Food
is the great problem for the urban population, and manufactures are
the great problem for the rural population. But, even if the farmers
consumed so large a proportion of industrial products as the Farm
Bureau Federation’s economists suppose, if they received a full benefit
of the tariff on their own products they would find themselves in a
distinctly advantageous position.
The tariff'cost of farm products to all consumers was estimated
as $392,000,000, while the tariff cost of industrial products to the
farmers was only $331,000,000. The farmers should certainly receive
the benefit of what all consumers pay for their products, for they
are primarily producers and only secondarily consumers. If they
trade among themselves, or buy back a portion of their own products,
. they will do so after having realized a profit. What they buy of their
own products cannot be substracted from the benefits they receive
1 from what all consumers must pay for their products. Their profit
would stand to their credit regardless of subsequent buying oper-
ations. To ignore this, as the economists appear to do is to fly in
the face of established economic principles.

According to Washington dispatches, economists of the depart-
ment of research of the American Farm Bureau Federation -have
caused a serious division of opinion between leaders of the farm bloc
and the federation, by their findings on the effects of the tariff,
which are being broadcasted in the federation’s weekly letter. The
economists claim to have proved the contention of opponents of
protection, that the farmers would have to pay a disproportionate
price to manufacturers for tariff duties secured upon their own
in view of the fact that unusual
interest has been manifested by the
interseholastic students assembled in
Austin for tho state meet in the tiling?

A Londoner with a reputation as a
pugilist had gone from London to fight
a Scot farmer whose great strength
had been praised in the press. He
entered the yard of the Scot, tied
his horse to a tree and approached
the farmer who was working nearby,
says Judge.
“Friend,” he said, “I have heard a
great deal about you and I have come
a long way to see which of us is the
best wrestler.”
The Scotchman, without answering,
seized the young man by tho middle
of the body, pitched him over the
fence and returned to his work. When
his lordship recovered his breath he
stood silent.
"Well,” said the farmer, “have you
anything more to say to me?”
“No,” was the reply, “but perhaps
you'll be good enough to throw me my
horse.”

net cost to the farmers."
In the absence of detailed information there is no way of finding
out just how, the economists obtained their figures, but a careful
examination, confined within the narrow limits prescribed by con-
clusions instead Of reasonings will yield the result that what the
farmers produced and what they consumed stands in relation to what
all the people produced and what, they consumed in the ratio of about
one to four. Accepting this ratio of the value of the output of farm
products to the value of the output of all industries as a basis, the
economists doubtless assumed that the farmers would consume one-
fourth of the whole production. From this it was, apparently, supposed
that the farmers would derive no benefit in the way of tariff duties
from the one-fourth of their products they consumed. This portion,
upon which it is assumed they must pay the cost of protection, added
to their supposed consumption of one-fourth of industrial products,
upon which they must also pay the cost, gives the total of $426,000,000.
It is further assumed that the farmers will receive in tariff benefits
only $125,000,000 apparently on the oft-repeated theory that they
receive but one-third of the. purchase price of their products. So that
net cost to the farmers is figured at $301,000,000.
Before dealing with the errors of this calculation, which is nothing
more than a tissue of assumptions, it is worth while to point out that
none of the proportions given are in the least influenced by the tariff.
■ If there were no import duties, the farmers, consuming one-fourth
of their own production, One-fourth of industrial production and re-
ceiving’only one-third of the purchase price of their products, would
be in a chronic state of depression from inability to meet their financial
obligations. Indeed, they would be unable to continue operations, for
if they received only one-third of the purchase price of their products,
which would be $6,415,000,00, they could not buy one-fourth of the
industrial products, which would be about $16,000,000,000, as the
economists assumed. From which we may safely conclude that the 1
whole calculation is in error.

Except for a few spatterings of oil
from the Liberty engine that had
brought them a greater distance than
any persons have ever flown previously
in one continuous flight, they were
seemingly ns fresh on landing as if
they had taken an hour’s jaunt. They
began telling newspaper men how they
planned to try for new and more diffi-
cult records.
The story of the flight was told bv
the men, who made it in a matter of
fact way, with first one, then the other,
putting in a sentence or a word to
illuminate some point as they alter-
nately carried on the description.
There was the start, when the han-
gars at Hempstead were missed only
by inches. There was difficulty in
getting the motor's full power into
play for the first 200 miles, and the
thrill MacReady described when they
ran into a mammoth beacon light at
Bellville, III., piercing the clouds and
darkness to guide them on their way.
There was the danger of the desert in
Arizona Nemesis of aviators in the
past, where landing in the daytime is
dangerous and at night most likely
fatal. And then San Diego, nestling
like a miniature parade on a bay of
the Pacific Ocean in southern Cali-
fornia—home.
A flight finished. A record made.
Baths, food and cigarettes.
One note of anxiety was in the story.
That remained from the fear while
over New Jersey that the voltage reg-
ulator of their ignition system would
force them to land. MacReady re-
paired it.
The airplane had about 40 gallons
of gasoline left in its tanks when it
landed, out of the 725 gallons it took
at the start. The plane was the same
th flyers' had used in earlier attempts
to fly across the continent, but the
motor was different. The motor used
is a 400-horsepower standard com-
pression Liberty. »
Major Arnold declared the record set
by Kelly and MacReady demonstrated
the feasibility of commercial air lines
across the continent. Passengers, he
said, could be carried a distance in
one day which the fastest trains re-
quire five to cover.
The aviators, ns a result of their
new record, nre richer by $2500 each.

relics on display.
The most valuable relic, however,
and the most interesting to Texans,
i sthe original letter written by Travis
asking for aid for the defense of the
Alamo. This stirring appeal to the
patriotism, not only of Texas, but of
'all Americans in the world,” is one
of the most remarkable documents of
all history. Travis’ reply to the enemy,
who had demanded that the Texans
surrender at discretion'or be put to
the sword, breathes the spirit which
inspired that little band of heroes to
“carry on” in the face of a certain and
awful fate, and might well make the
blood of every Texan who reads it leap
up with pride. “I have answered the
demand with a cannon shot,” writes
Travis, “and our flag still waves
proudly from the walls. I shall never
surrender or retreat. Then I call on
you in the name of liberty, of patriot-
ism and of everything dear to the
American character to come to our aid,
with all dispatch. • ♦ • Victory or
death.”
Numerous requests have been made
by citizens of Austin and visitors from
various parts of the state to see these
documents, but due to the fact that
they are kept under lck and key in
the state treasury vault the state
library has not always been able to
comply with these requests. It is,
therefore, hoped that all who are de-
sirous of seeing these documents will
do so at this time. The interscholastic
students, the members of the legisla-
ture and the general public are cor-
dially invited.
All the next day after the fire it
rained and rained. The river rose
higher and higher, for the floods were
pouring down from the North and
each little stream and creek that was
tributary to the great river was pour-
ing its waters Into the already swollen
Mississippi.
But the staunch Robert E. Lee never
wavered from her course, but kept
straight on in the middle of the river,
letting herself be, carried downstream
along with the current, though the
banks caved in on their side of the
river and the water overflowed the
low rice fields and cotton bottoms.
It also rushed with force enough to
break down the dikes and make a
complete circle from its usual course,
thus forming an island. Then it
would rush on again and carry away
a high bank, toppling its tall trees
over into the current, which woula
carry them downstream like so many
chips.
At the other places it would creep
over the land so far that It would
Once in a while a chicken coop
would float by them on which would
be perched a live chicken, or a dog
would be chained to his kennel trying
to keep his balance as it turned over
on its side.
All these things the Chums saw, as
well as hundreds of men throwing bags
of sand into holes in the broken dikes.
