evening effected combination with
the associations of Mankato, Sleepy
Eye, Clements and other nearby towns
whereby the only poultry show held in
this section next year will be held in
Mankato. The following year New
Ulm is to have it and then the other
towns in such order as the district
organization may direct. Officers for
the local association were elected as
follows: President, VIM. Pfaender,
Jr.; vice president, Jos. Karl; secretary
and treasurer, Fred Setter; assistant
secretary, Henry Vedder; superinten-
dent, Jacob Vetter; district vice presi-
dents, j. w. Kollmann of Mankato,
j. j. Neudecker of Clements and F.. J.
Hubbard of New Ulm; inspection COM
mittee, J. A. Vetter and Henry Vedder.
Many New Ulmites will remember
George Bevier, who at one time was
in the employ of the Northwestern in
this city. The Spokane Spokesman
Review has the following to say of his
son: "George Bevier since going to
Stanford has made name for himself
in athletics at the southern institution.
Bevier, while at the Spokane high,
was prominent in many school organi-
cations, but he was never member of
any of the athletic teams, and his re-
cord at Stanford was surprise to his
many friends. Although Bevier was
only freshman last year at Stanford
he was one of the best two-mile men in
the institution, and under the coach
ing of Dad Moulton, the veteran
track, he is fast developing into a
splendid distance man at Stanford
To some New Ulm theatregoers the
Turner theatre Offering for Sunday
evening, Charley Grapewin in "The
Awakening of Mr.. Pipp," was a dis
appointment; to others the hit of the
season. Certain it is, putting all tt .
merits of the piece itself out of the
reckoning, that Charley Grapewin is
laugh-provoker of the first order.
In other words, he's scream. From
the rise of the curtain until its fall in
the last act he's the soul of the show
and puts the audience into state of
merriment that knows no bounds but
the ceiling. The piece is prettily cos
TUNED and appropriately staged.
The marriage of Mic Gulden and
Miss Irma Krause was solemnized
at the home of the brides parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Julius Krause, at
Turner hall this afternoon. Both Of
the contracting parties are ranked
among New Ulm's most estimable
young people and they have hosts Of
friends who will extend to them best
wishes. In these expressions of good
will the Review joins most heartily.

The new council at it's meeting last
evening refused to grant the request Of

recommended this action on the ground
that the proposed change would cost
the city all of 81, 900.

The Wilson Bill.

But the revulsion which followed re- suited in the reelection of Cleveland in 1892, with a Democratic congress Then resulted the Wilson bill, provid- ing for wholesale reductions. particu- Iarly as regarding iron and steel man. ufactures. It should be noted that the Dingley bill in 1897 retained practi- cally the iron and steel duties laid down in the Wilson meaZ1re
 Though William Mckinley was elect ed on the financial issue in 1896, his first act after being sworn in as presi- dent was the calling of an extra ses sion of congress to repeal the Wilson German tariff bill. The result of that session was the Dingley law, named for its author, Nelson DinSley. Jr. of Maine, which put the schedules prac- tically back on the Mckinley basis.
 Following is comparison between the old Dingley tariff rates and those of the new Payne bill:

THE FREE LIST.

The new free list of the Payne bill includes the following articles:
 Petroleum, crude and refined, was continued on the free list, though con- sidera ble opposition to this procedure developed.
 Hides were put on the list after pro- longed and bitter controversies Sena- tor Aldrich and various of the older members of the upper house led the campaign against free hides. The Dingley bill placed a duty of 15 per cent ad valorem on hides
 The new free list, while very similar to that of the Dingley bill, contains the following articles that, among others, were not on the Dingley list:
 Hides, fenceposts, sulphate of am- monia, platinum combinations with palladium, osmium and rhodium, kin ding wood, radiun, works of art paintings, pastels, etchings and sculp- lures that have been in existence more than twenty years prior to date of i'm portation: other works of art. of bronze, marble. terra cotta, pottery porcelain and antiques produced moro than 100 years prior to date of i'm pOrtatiOn.

Is rerund Of duty moneys paid on material imported into this country which is used in the manufacture of articles which are themselves exported from this country.
 The guiding spirit in the formula tion of the provisions of the new meas ure has been one to fix duties that do not necessarily encourage foreign inn pcrtation. but that render it impossible for a combination of capital in any given line to raise prices above those that now exist and to prevent them in general from being further raised. President Taft has taken particular pains to point out this circumstance. Competition that existed when the Dingley bill was enacted has been wiped out by the consolidation of con- paEies and the combination of inter- ests. President Taft renders the opin- lon that the Payne tariff Dill will in large measure restore the possibility of successful competition in the busi- oess fields so affected.

signed for the purpose of government tai regulation of corporations, and it will have this effect
 The fact that the amount of the tax to be assessed was lowered from per cent to l per cent is considered by the members of congress to evidence clear ly that the bill has regulation for its object and not merely revenue.
 The customs court of appeals will further centraIize the national govern ment, and it will place the intricate and technical cases as to the construc- tion of the law and the facts respect ing classification of merchandise and rate of duty under the Jurisdiction of men who are specialists in this line. There is no appeal from this court, which will sit in Washington, and the members of which will be appointed by the president.
 For the purposes of the operation of this court the country has been divid- ed into nine customs judicial districts.
 While many items in the bill show revision downward, it will as a whole provide for an increased revenue, con tinuing in general effect the Repub- lican policy of protection.
 Retaliation Measures.
 Governmental measures of retalia- ton against countries which do not make tariff concessions to the United States are amply provided for. Maxi mum and minimum provisions enable a higher rate of tax to be imposed on the products of these countries than would ordinarily have been the case.
 The creation of a commission to look into the question of the tariff from a nonpartisan viewpoint is an innova- tion that has been suggested for many years. It is generally looked on as a move toward taking the tariff out of politics.
 A policy long ago established by tar fir makers in this country is retained in the new measure. It is the impos- ing of particularly heavy duties on luXures.
 The drawback" provisions are in dicative of a more kind hearted gov ernmentaI attitude than had been con sidered probable. In brief, drawback

The subject of taxation is being

average citizen is given to understa I'D
that it is as much his business as that
of the municipal, state and federal au-
thorities to grasp the principles of pub
