JOE CANNOT AND TARIFF
TARGETS FOR LAFOLLETTE

Madison, Wis, Aug. 13.-The new
tariff law and Speaker Cannon both
were assaulted by Senator LsFollette
in this weeks issue of LaFo,. cites
Weekly. It says; Tariff revision
is intended to reduce rates, aiding
the consumer, who was being robbed
by the Dingley tariff through the
trusts. The Dingley law, just what
the trusts wanted, stood pat. Con-
gress may not have known what the
trusts wanted. but 1t did exactly.
Congress stood pat. The kind of re-
vision demanded, promised and ac-
oepted and voted for and decreed at
the polls was not even partially COM
piled with. Cannon relegated to
minor positions on Joke commit
tees Republican congressman who
questioned his divine right to rule.
Thus he was able to get his revenge,
but It was costly, and the constituents
had little voice. Cannon's revenge
probably will cost him dearly"
