Washington Dispatch to the
Women; Men Must Not Read.
(By Marion e. Leland.

(By Marion E. Leland. Written
Especially for this paper.)
Washington, July 23.-Madam,
]lately-the dry goods store in your
own town?
Have you noticed that you must
Ipay from ten to twelve cents these
days for the standard muslins that re-
tailed for s to s cents not long ago?
And do you know that ginghams
that sold last year for u cents a
yard, now costs s "?
These questions are addressed to
the women folks. In fact, this article
lis dedicated for the women of Deca-
itur county. This is because the edi-,
tor has asked for political letter
from Washington for the sole inter
Jest of his women readers.
Yes, this request was somewhat I'M
usual. The newspaper correspondents
who sit in the press galleries in the
United States capitol seldom if ever
Iprepare an article for the enlightment
|of the women of the land. But why
mot? Is it not true that they do more
buying than the men? And that in
creased prices pinches the women
more than the men?
Now if you have noticed that mus
Ilins and ginghams and such are high
Ier do you know the reason? Senator
Aldrich, of Rhode Island, and Sen
ator Flint, of California, stated on
the floor of the senate that the retail
Iers We're to blame for the upward
tendency of prices. These senators
were simply trying to pass the re-
,sponsibility from their shoulders,
where it belongs, to the shoulders of
the corner store, where it does not
belong. Your local retailer is as
blameless for increasing prices as you
|are.
! Then who is to blame? / can give
|you the answer. The colored gentle
man in the wood pile is the Aldrich-
Payne tariff law. The members of
congress who voted for this measure
will be explaining to your husbands
before long that they voted for pro-
lection. But what they really voted
for was extortion
Stockings Cost More Now.
@Girghams and laces are not the
the passage of the "extortion' bill.
Take stockings for instance:
A year ago popular seller was
German knit cotton stocking with
seamless foot and Louis Hermesdorf
dyes. This stocking cost the mer-
Ichant 1925 dozen pair and sold for
20 cents pair.
Last year certain American stock
ing, not so we'll dyed, nor so we'll
made, cost the merchant $1.75 a doz-
zen pair.
Today the American stocking costs
the merchant 1925 a dozen and sell
for % cents. Do you see the point?
The tariff has raised the price of it's
German rival 0 cents pair, and it
lis no longer on sale. The greedy
American gets a monopoly on stock
ings. Then he Immediately raises his
price to the retailer. And you are now
Ipaying the same price for an inferior
,article that you used to pay for a
good article
Higher prices and cheaper quail
titles! That is the short definition of
Aldrichism.

Good Examples to Follow.

her earlier start in the fight against

The fact that North Carolina will

PROPOSED CHANGE ABSURD.

According to the Norfolk papers,
the Elizabeth River Quarantine Com
mission probably will amend the
regulations for Norfolk so as 10
abolish State inspection on all ves-
sells except those coming under the
provisions of Section +. Section f re-
quires the inspection of all vessels
entering from foreign ports. Thus
IL appesrs that In their determination
frame some sort of an excuse for con-
tinuing the fee-collecting quarantine
officer in Office. the Norfolk board
proposes to leave in its regulations
the one section that actually requires
the objectionable dual inspection. All
ships arriving in Hampton Roads
from foreign ports are inspected by
the federal quarantine officer at Old
Point. So. IL the proposed change Is
made. the only ships inspected by the
State Cficer at Norfolk will be those
that already have undergone inspec'
ton at the efficient ststion OF the
national government; an hour before.
The only thing to do to the State
quarantine Is 20 abolish il. When vir-
ginia IS ready to establish an efficient
quarantine system. then there viii BE-
time enough 10 talk about changing
regulations.

REBEL AGAINST THE oPPRES
SION OF THE INSURANCE
TRUST.

Public sentiment In Newport News
was expressed We believe, by Rev.
f. T. Wexford when he said before
the Chamber OF Commerce Friday
evening that the time has come 20
rebel against the hoodwinking ana
oppression of the insurance COM
panies. AS Mr.. Wexford said. we
have been retreating like flock OF
sheep before this Southeastern IN
derwriters' Association, consequently
our insurance burden has been in
creased beyond the limit of indurenee.
The question is this, Shall the
Insurance Trust or the city council
run Newport News?" Because the
council OF the city. deeming an In
crease In revenues necessary. has
seen fit TO make what II considered
an equitable increase In the license
tax rate on Insurance companies do
ing business in the city. the Insurance
To the local insuring public that will
put into the treasures OF its COM
ponent companies nearly four times
as much additional money in pre-
miums as the amount that will be de-
rived by the city from the license tax
increase. Obviously, this is an effort
on the part of the Trust 10 demon
strate to the council that the Trust,
not the council, must fix the cOndi-
tons under which insurance COM
panies shall do business in the city
OF Newport News.
One OF the local insurance agents
has said in public that the Southeast
ern Underwriters Association holds
the whole South In its grip. and can
not be regulated CT restricted. Evil
IDENTITY this Is the opinion Of the
heads of the Trust. otherwise this
open welding OF the cmb against
Newport News would not have been
undertaken. The Trust looks upon
Newport News as a puny little place
without the means or the courage TO
give battle: the only question 10 be
decided is how much money is there
in the place 10 be squeezed out. In
this particular instance. the Trust

for the city's rights. and the best Of
them should be adopted and prose
