WILL NOT AID
CONSUMERS
Importers and JObberS will
Be Benefited By Any
Tariff Reductions
PROTESTS AGAINST
LOWERING THE DUTIES

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Nov 16-"It
is the height of folly to expect that
tariff revision will benefit the con-
sumer No matter what the Ways and
Means Committee does, and no matter
what congress decides to do with its
report on the subject. the individual
consumer win find himself paying just
as much for the necessities and lux
uries of life"
This startling assertion was made
by Representative Boutell, Of Illinois.
one OF the leading Republican mem
bers .of the Ways and Means Com
mittee Of the Houso of Representatives
which is now wrestling with daily
tariff hearings
THE only classes that will benefit
to anv extent If the tariff schedules
arc reduced continued MIR. Boutoll,
will be the importers and jobbers
They will be able to make a little
more profit on the goods they bring
into the country. but the man who
eventually Consumes the articles will
find no appreciable difference in what
nc has TO pay. The most marked ef-
feet OF a general tariff reduction will
be the loss Of revenue TO the govern
mentH
As Representative Boutell Is In thor
ough accord with Chairman Payne and
the other Republican members of the
Ways and Means Committee, his in
torviow may be accepted as fair
index Of the sentiment OF the major

mittee do not expect anything radical
to be accomplished through the hear
ings. was indicated when Champ Clark
sneeringly exclaimed TO one of the
witnesses: why, you don't suppose,
do YOU that this committee is going
to do anything To the tarimy
Oppose Reduction.
II may be "A coincidence but it is
nevertheless a fact that nine out of
ten witnesses thus far examined by
the committee have declared I'm the
most emphatic. IL not fearful manner,
against any reduction whatever i'm the

business" they cried. "we are just get

tarif on our goods, you viii force us

We Must Go Toward and Win.

Observation and history teach that there is a critical time-a keenly de- fined crisis-in the history of every commonwealth which has made ad- vancement: that success deserving the title has not come by chance but by cooperative. persistent effort. Citizens realizing the situation, grasp ing the significance of opportunities, possibilities and resources have, in every case worthy of mention, banded themselves together and struggled for the set object until victory came. Unity-co-operation-lab labor- sacrifice -these are the words that might fitIy be written at the portal of every prosperous city and community
 Every sign indicates that Brinkley has now come to an epoch making period in her history.
 Opportunity is knocking loudly at our door.
 The future is as full of promise as a clear rising sun foretells day of light. or a bursting bud gives forth the odor of the opening flower.
 But realization is not to be accom- plished by idle dreaming or ardent wishing.
 Expansion. growth. commercial i'm portance surely await the proper pro gressive course
 ChliviolssS .,guratively speaking, i: the certain doom of inertia. peti wranRl.ng. or lack of a solid forward movement.
 Every man must work, must show lis colors in every possible way as a loyal. progressive citizen.
 There Is nothing. so far. but as- .urances of success.
 Every test lately applied has de veloped a strength of purpose ane unity of action that has surprised ever inc most enthusiastic citizen.
 Let every one of us keep on the look out for new enterprises, publish abroad the advantages of our city anc encourage every institution for the up building of the moral. intellectual anc commercial interests of the city anc community.
 The result will surely justify ever' expenditure, effort and sacrifice necessary to bring Brinkley into pos session of her rightful heritage.

THE loss of lie and property in Okla homa and north Texas this week by storm and flood is little short of ap- palllng While the number Of deaths does not run over the hundred mark yet many hundreds escaped only with their lives. every vestage of personal property, houses. etc. being either blown to the four corners of the earth, so to speak. or swept away by torrants of water from overflowed rivers. While feeling only deepest regret at the sad misfortune that has thus be- fallen portions of these great states, there is also feeling of devout thank fullness that this part of dear old Ark ansas has so far been so mercifuly sheltered from harm by Providence, wondrously kind to us.

)R. Stonewall Anderson

DR. Stonewall Anderson, in the course of his sermon at the Methodist church last Sunday night. tossed Brinkley quite nice word boquet. In arguing against pessimism as root oi bitterness to be kept out of one IS life, he gave his remarks a practical turn and local application and congratulated Brinkley upon her progress-com mercially, morally, religiously, intel lectually, etc. He said, in substance, that he had kept himself posted con corning Brinkley; knew her past his tory; was acquainted with conditions, etc; that he did not know town or city in the entire state that had made greater progress along all lines; that her people had every reason to be optimisticvfor the future.
