Several cotton mills Of New England
have closed down in order to curtail.
Three and a half thousand operatives are
thus thrown out Of work. The New Eng
land mills should run as long as they can,
for, with the present outlook, there will be
curtailment for lack of cotton o rather
than high priced cotton.
Let Mr.. Southern farmer get it into his
head to raise his own provisions at home
and then the New England mills will have
something to curtail for sur enough.
The price Of cloth is just as sure to go
as the price OF cotton is to remain up.
The Southern farmer does not care how
high a price he has to pay for one shirt
when he has a thousand shirts to sell, just
as the Western farmer would like to pay
high prices for his flour and meal for then
he could sell his farm products at a high
price.
Let the price of cloth soar into the alti-
tudinous depths Of ethereal expanse" for
aught we care. Thereby the price Of cot
ton will also soar.

The question of Representative Hard
wick, OF Georgia, in congress on Monday
was a pertinent One-HaS the United
States government been using it's vessels
to hunt for John Jacob Aston?
That is no part Of governmental admin
istration. If a millionaire scape-grace
chooses to sail the seas in his private
yacht, let him take care of himself; the
government is under no obligation to do
so. Besides that, Aston isn't worth it
anyhow, though he is a multi-millionaire.
Observer.
The government boat was on the look
out for the crew Of the private yacht who
are all good and worthy Americans. 1t
was not searching for John Jake particu-
larly. Had John Jake been out there
alone in a dory the government boat
would not have made the search.

HIGHER TAX ON BEER
COMES TO THE FRONT

Gradually but surely the lines are
being drawn for a great fight in Con-
gress over the question Of an increased
tax on beer. The advocates of the tax
have become extremely active, and
there is no longer much question that
before the Payne tariff bill is passed a
separate vote on a proposition for add
ing this feature will be forced.
The situation Is the more interesting
because It has close relation to the in
surgent movement in the House. Nj
merous Republicans who supported the
Cannon organization IN the struggle
over the rules have been hearing from
scored because they are alleged TO have
loaned themselves to a plot 10 prevent
the imposition of more tx on beer.
1t would be a strange thing II the al
legged bargain over the beer tax in con-
nectiOn with the revolt on the rules
and the efforts OF the Republican lead
ers TO crush that revolt should be the
very instrument of increasing the tax
on the brewers. But ii looks much
now as Il this would be the case.
Most Of ihe Republican insurgents are
in favor Of an increased tax on beer.
For the reason that prohibition has
gained such q strong grip on the South,
increased beer tax. For the reason that
they want TO escape the onus Of the
charge that they were in any deal to
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-03-31

keep more tax of beer, many Repub-
licans will vote the same way.
The Kansas delegation has developed
a strong sentiment for the increa Sc
SO has the Iowa delegation Indiana IS
falling in line. The same is true of
various other delegations.
A meeting of the Republicans in the
House from Iowa has been held and
on the proposition Of an increased tax
on beer of 80 cents per barrel and also
an increase In the Government retail
liquor license from 80 to $50 This was
the practically unanimous sentiment OF
the delegation.
1t is charged in some quarters that
many of the House members will vote
for the beer tax In the belief that the
Senate viii not stand for 1t. But those
who have been studying the situation
carefully say that If the tax is once
voted up, il will be hard TO get The
Senate TO pull the CT asnuts out Of the
fire.
Members OF the House from districts
where the brewers WELD a potent in
fiuence say the beer business cannot
stand more tax. Representative Bar
tholdt of st. Louis, says, for instance,
that an increase Of tax will cripple the
business, cut the profits of the brew
ers, and viii not yield any more rev.
enue than the Government now gets
This is disputcc by tho advocates Of
the increased beer tax who say the
brewers are still profiting enormously
rv the fact The tax was raised In the
Spanish wal. They raised their prices
TO suit and have forgotten to lower
them

CHAMBER TO FIGHT
INCREASE IN TARIFF
Four Committees Will Direct
Opposition to Schedules on
Hosiery and Gloves.

The Chamber of Commerce. through
the combined efforts of four Of its prin-
cipaI committees. is 10 MAKE a fight
uDOn the provision contained in the
Payne tariff bill with respect to an in
crease in duty upon ladies' hosiery and
gloves. The committees which will have
charge Of the work are those on whole
sale trade, retail trade, manufactures
and law and legislation
At the meeting of the manufactures
committee OF the chamber yesi. day af-
ternoon the tariff question was brought
up by Harry King. who declared that
the chamber should take the lead in
declaring against a tax in the interest
OF a monopoly in the manufacture Of
these goods.
Statistics will show" said M King,
chat under the present tariff schedules
the glove business has prospered in this
country. 1t would be inexcusable 70
raise the tariff on such articles Of cloth
ing that are absolutely necessary. The
proposed tariff will create a monopoly
and the poor people WIN be robbed"
Mr.. King then declared that there was
no doubt in his mind but that that part
Of the tariff bill dealing with gloves
and hosiery had been dictated by a for
mer member Of Congress, who is now
a resident Of New York.
On a motion made by Mr. King. It
was unanimously decided to enlist the
cooperation Of the committees in draw
ing up resolutions declaring against the
bill These resolutions will be present
ed to the Chamber Of Commerce at a
fun meeting for Endorsement by its
members.
The resolution will then be sent to
both houses Of Congress.
