PLEA FOR The FARMER

Declares the Injustice Of the Demand
: for Free Hides Becomes More Start
ling When It ls Remembered That
. the Leather Industry IN the United
States Was Built Up by Our Pro
tective Policy.
Washington, June 23.-"No more
striking illustration of ingratitude
could be imagined than that which has
been shown by the manufacturers of
leather and leather goods who seek
to deprive the stockman and farmer
OF the little remnant of protection
seft to him on hides" said Senator
McCumber of North Dakota, defend
ing in the senate the proposed duty of
Is per cent ad valorem on hides. The
fact he said, that the United States
does not produce all the hides it used
was an argument in favor of protect
ing the hide industry to promote its
development to the stage when the
United States will be able to supply
Che home demand.
Senator McCumber's speech was a
plea for the farmer as against the
manufacturer. "The gross injustice of
this demand for free hides becomes
mere startling" he declared, "when
We remember that our protective sys-
tenn has built up these leather manu-.
featuring industries and enabled them
TO dominate not only the American
market, but to enter every other mar.

these advantages and defrauded the

The Vermont senator thought his
state was little more simon pure
Republican than was North Dakota
and twitted Mr.. McCumber with the
suggestion that North Dakota had a
Democratic governor.
"Oh,. yes" responded Mr.. McCum-
Der, with evident reference to the dis
tribution of protective duties, 'the
state of Vermont has little more to
encourage her devotion to the Repub-
lican cause
Senator Clark of Wyoming, inter
Tupting, declared that Mr.. Page, in
advocating free hides, wanted the
government to go into partnership
with the leather trust to beat the beef
trust and all at the expense of the
farmers.
Senator Gamble of South Dakota
also spoke in favor of duty on hides,
"No assurance has been given that
any benefit whatever will accrue to
the consumer of leather goods by the
admission Of hides free of duty" he
said.

Rough Draft Of Amendment

President Taft Does Not Consider
Two Per Gent Excessive and the
Amendment When Submitted to the
Senate Committee viii Contain
That Provision-Executive Defines
Meaning Of Net Earnings.
Washington, June 23.-Attorney
General Wickersham laid before the
president and the cabinet q rough
draft Of the tariff bill amendment
which provides for the imposition of a
2 per cent tax upon the net earnings
Of corporations. The cabinet was in
session for more than two hours and
the various questions of constitutional
and business law called up by the pro-
posed amendment to the tariff bill
were thoroughly discussed
A conference is to be held at the
White House at which all of the Re
publican members Of the senate
finance committee will be present, to.
gether with Attorney General Wicker
sham and Senator Root.
There seems little doubt that the
amendment as it will be turned over
to the finance committee will provide
for per cent tax and that it will
exempt net earnings below $4,000.

President Taft, however. does not

cessive or calculated to be burden
some On corporation earning $780,
600 year. for instance, the total tax
would be only $4,000, leaving $4,000

The report that In a definition of
net earnings the new law would pro

income of corporations before the pay

terest on bonds did not meet corrob-
Grafton at the White House. The
president, in discussing this phase of
the matter with callers, expressed the
opinion that there was no way in
which the law could equitably be
made. to apply against bonds or bond
holders, the latter being entitled to a
fultillment of contracts made prior to
the passage of the law.
The president does not believe there
will be attempted evasion by the issu-
ance Of new bonds. The rate of fixed
interest to be paid on these bonds
would be in excess of the tax.

ARE BLONDES INFERIOR?

Blonde women in Chicago judges of the
courts and superintendents of two insane asy-
lums disputed the statement of Maj. Charles
f. Woodruff. surgeon in the United States
army, that blondes are morally and physically
the interiors of brunettes. They also attacked
his assertion that blondes make up a greater
portion of the population of jails and similar
institutions.
DR.. Woodruff reached his conclusions after
he had completed an inspection of the prisons
and asylums in New York state and city He
declared these institutions in New York are
full of blonde persons who, owing to their per.
vous temperament, are unable to struggle for
existence in a climate to which they are uu.
fitted and have fallen into poverty. disease
and crime.
DR.. Woodruff contends that the excess of
sunshine in America breaks down the nervous
system of blondes. morally well as phys
ically, and makes them peculiarly liable to the
ravages of consumption and other deadly all
ments.

had been arrested in Cheyenne and
