Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June PERRY B. Sui
Ivan, one time democratic candidate
for governor and one of the most
prominent democrats of the state, said
today that the tariff is sure to be the
one main issue in the congressional
elections next year, as we'll as in the
primaries.
The very best that the progressive
republicans in congress will be able
to do will be to maintain the Dingley
rates. They would of course like to get
the rates lowered / am satisfied they
will not be able to do that and the
best they can hope for is to keep the
rates from being raised above the
Dingley schedules" said Mr.. Sullivan
today.
This will throw the matter into the
next congressional elections for a fight
all along the line and the tariff will
be the issue. The people will never
stand for the action congress is ale
most sure to take on the schedules on
coal, iron, lumber, linen, sugar and
some other articles of that kind. There
| isn't much question in my mind how
the matter will be decided by the peo-
pie.
L don't anticipate that the income
tax will be passed In fact ] am sure
it will be defeated. l think Senator
( Cummins takes a good stand on that
matter but I don't think he goes far
enough AS l understand it he urges
/ that the income tax is needed for rev.
enue. l think he shold take the posi-
ton that it is needed not only as a
revenue but as making it possible to
still further lower the schedules on
necessities of life and putting more of
the burden of government on the rich
where it belongs. That is l think he
should urge an income tax even if it
were not needed for revenue. The tariff
schedules on necessities could then be
lowered much more than otherwise and
still provide ample revenue for the
government"
Criminal reports by the county clerks
will be made this year to the state
board of parole instead of to the secre-
tary of state and will be much more
complete than formerly. They will be
for the year ending June 80. instead O
I Sept. 80. Secretary B. w. Carrot of thu
, board of parole is calling the atten
! ton of county clerks to the change il
! the law in this regard. For the frs
time the attempt will be made to as
4 certain just how much it costs tn
I state to prosecute the crimes com
mitted here.

The state board of control would lill
yeyy much to make the qqrarteriy con
ferences of the state superintendent
held in the beard rooms in this cit
much more useful to the people of tn
state if they only knew how to do 81
The meetings are open to the publ

] part, however, very few attend the con
