The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1910-09-29

We indorSe the tariff law Of
1909, reducing rs it does the du-
ties on the necessities of life and
making increases on luXurIes,' is
the way the Missouri standpatters
laud the Payne-Aldrich tariff mon =
strosity. Funny, isn't it, what
these standpatters regard as the
necessities of life and what as lux
uries? Silk, according to their
way of looking at things, is neces-
sity, for the Payne Aldrich law adj
mits raw silk free and places duty
of only 80 cents on the maniac
tured article. Wooden and wooden
clothes are Injuries, according to
their view, for duty of l3j per
cent is placed on them. Another
necessity, according to Missouri
standpatters, is champagne, on
which there is Il duty of only "a to
&C per cent, aud wearing apparel
is n luxury, for it is taxed from
so to 81 per cent. The finer quail
ties of hats they regard as neces-
stiles of life while the cheaper
grades they class as Injuries, for
the first are taxed only AZ per cent,
while the poor mans hat is taxed
n per cent.

this piece of information: The

its capitalization from s. 900, oct
to Sc, 900, 600, the 81 900, 900 ad.
ditiOn being entirely common stock.
a cash disbursement Of II per cent
and n stock dividend Of 100 per
cent have been declared" Think
of that will you, gentle reader, a
cash dividend of II per cent. and
an additional stock dividend of 100
per cent? And yet the Aldrich-
Payne tariff law says this rubber
company is entitled to on increased
protection ON its products from 30
to IS per cent. And the Missouri
Republican platform says that the
Aldrich-Payne tariff law increased
duties only on luxuries and lowered
them on the necessities Of life. DO
you think that rubber shoes for
your children as they plod through
the winter slush to school are lux
urieS rather than uecessities' Think
OF that, mothers, when you go to
buy rubbers for your children this
fall. Think Of it, fathers, when

BIG VOTE EXPECTED

The sentiment favorable TO the
prohibition amendment IN the
country is giving the brewers aud
the liquor dealers considerable con.
Germ, but the latter hope to over
come any majority which II may
receive in the counties by Il very
heavy adverse majority i'll the large
cities of the State. 1t is a slgnif.
cant fact that the registration list
in ST. Louis, after an addition Of
60, 900 last Thursday, reaches the
unprecedented number of 178, 900.
or IS, 900 more than voted for Gov.
ernor two years ago in that city.
Some 10, 900 or 10000 names may
be stricken off the registration list
in the revision, but 1000 or >, 000
may be added by supplemental
registration of those who were toe
i'll to register last week or were out
of the city. This would still leave

which would be one voter for every

women, children, floaters, pauper'
and insane. twill strike eyeryon,
as rather a big voting population
for that city and is liable to Great,
a wide spread suspicion that it ex,
ceeds the limit. The registration
in Kansas City shows about 7,00(
more than there were votes cas-
two years ago.
