The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-03-20

We're voting for what were indisputably
moderate rates of duty-rates of duty
which democrats could consistently and
properly support as revenue ratea If they
were In power and themselves engaged
in framing a revenue tariff bill.
This occurred In the three. items of
rough lumber, hides, and iron ore. The
duties proposed to be imposed on these
three articles were not only low revenue
rates. but in their amount and in
their effect upon the expenditures of the
people of the country absolutely insignia
cant, mere bagetelle, as compared with
the great mass of articles of everyday
and universal Use by the people generally,
upon which exorbitant protective rates of
duty were imposed in the remainder Of
the bill, and which the democratic sena-
tors sought to correct in those 40 yea
and-nay votes for low duties,
Skyscraper Duties.
In neither case were the differences
between democratic senators as to the
rates of duty on either of these three
articles on the line between a protective
duty on the one side and protective
rate 1t was in each case a legitimate
difference in Judgment as to the imposi-
ton of revenue rate of duty on the
one side or the admission of the article
free of duty on the other side In these
legitimate differences no question of
protective duty was involved.
Voting against legitimate revenue
duties yielding proper and needed rev.
enues could not be defended by SEN
atocs who thus regarded them, on the
ground that while thus legitimate
these duties were, nevertheless, OBJ
noxious because supported by repub-
lican senators.
In. the case of rough lumber the
highest rate of duty voted for by any
democratic senator was about per
cent ad valorem, while other demo-
cratic senators voted to put 1T on the
free list.
In the case of hides some demo-
cratic senators voted for a duty of
Is per cent ad valorem, while other
democratic senators voted to put them
on The free list. And upon iron ore
some democratic senators voted for
duty of 10 per cent ad valorem, while
other democratic senators voted to
put it on the free list.
All of these highest rates voted for
on either of these articles We're mod
crate revenue rates. They stand in
strong contrast with the extreme pro-
tective duties found throughout the
law as enacted--such as los per cent
ad valorem on blankets; fiannels for
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-03-20

underwear, 143 per cent ad valorem;
wearing apparel so per cent ad val
orem; and SO on in cases OF 1nnum-
| cradle articles of common necessity,
the rates upon which can only be just
| ly characterized as ruthless extortion.
| The opponents of protective duties
may consistently differ In determining
what particular rates of duty shall be
| fixed, SO long as they are each rev.
| enue rates, or in determining, further,
whether the articles for special rea-
| sons shall be placed on the free list.
Such differences are in harmony with
| the celebrated Walker report of 1S45.
| Since the adjournment of Congress some
| who are more distressed by the low rev.
enue tariff OF or 10 per cent on rough
| lumber or iron ore than they are con-
cerned about the protective tariff of 165
per cent on blankets, and 1000 other rates
of like character, have, in criticising the
votes of democratic senators, inquired
where the record is upon which democrats
may hereafter risk the votes of the peo-
pie.
The Democratic Fight.
To such persons. whom it would be
charitable to designate as ill-informed, it
might be replied that, during the long,
weary summer months, when others who
now make this inquiry were perhaps en-
gagged in more leisurely and gainful
pastimes, the democratic senators were
day and night striving to their utmost,
as shown not only by their utterances in
debate, but by their votes. to relieve the
people from the burden of the grievous
taxation found In increased prices upon
the articles which were embraced in the
40 yea and nay votes taken and re-
corded in the Senate, as herein set forth,
and upon the thousands of other articles
of like character. And it might further
be said that these articles constitute the
great mass of articles of everyday use by
the people. including articles of necessity,
articles of comfort and articles of reas-
enable indulgence. Such inquirers VIII
find upon unprecedented examination that
within the subjects dealt with in these
140 propositions disposed of by these 140
yea and nay votes are included the
raiment and the food of the people, the
Furnishings that make the comforts and
the most elegancies of their homes the
appliances with which the merchants and
other business and professional men con-
duct their business. the machines and
the tools and the implements of the farm
err, the mechanic and the laborer, as we'll

men and men of small incomes for the

PENSION TEACHERS
TEN ARGUMENTS ADVANCED IN
FAVOR OF CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT NO. 2.
SOUND BUSINESS POLICY
Higher Standards and Better Service
In Education Made Possible by
Measure lnsuring instructors
Against Want In Old Age.

The Teachers Pension Organization
In st. Louis, composed Of all the pub
lie school teachers, SUPERVISORS, prin-
cipals and superintendents in the city,
has raised a fund for securing the
success of Amendment No. through
the voluntary contributions of It's
members of one mill of every dollar
of their annual salaries.
This body has appointed an ener.
getic executive committee to conduct
campaign for engaging public inter-
est in the success of the amendment.
Two of their publicity features are a
campaign button which reads Amend
ment No. 2, Vote Yes. Teachers rem
sions," and the following circular to
be addressed the week before the No
vember election to every voter in the
city:
Why Amendment No. Should Receive
Your Vote.
Amendment No. 2 on your ballot
next Tuesday favors the payment of
pensions to aged or infirm teachers by
the Board of Education. For the fol-
lowing reasons you should vote YES
and scratch NO.
/. The finest institution of which
any country can boast is an efficient
school system free to the whole peo,
pie. 1t is the cornerstone of our Re-
public.
2. The most precious wards Of any
community are it's children. They
deserve the best of school buildings,
the best of education, the best Of
teachers.
8. In the interest OF the children
the teaching force should not be al.
lowed to fall below the highest stand
ard. Teachers in active service must
be of mental and physical vigor.
4. Legislation for teachers pen
Sions should be the concern of every
parent; of every thinking man.
5. It"is not class legislation.
6. 1t does not give the right to the
Board of Education to increase the tax
rate.
7. In other countries in which pub.
lie education has achieved the finest
results pension legislation has been
operative for over half century.
s. The success of Amendment No
places Missouri abreast of other
states that have taken up pension leg
islation.
g. In fifty cities and seven states
where pension systems are in force
men of ability are drawn into the ser
vice of the schools whose energies
would otherwise be diverted into other
channels.
10. Finally, 1t is not that teachers
want pensions. or need pensions, or
ought to have pensions, but that they
are demanded as sound business pol
icy in the conduct of the schools.

sToNE OPENS CAMPAIGN.

Last Saturday afternoon Sena-
tor Wm. j. Stone, leader OF the
old guard wing Of the Democratic
party opened the county cam
paign for the Democrats, by de-
livering a speech to a rather small
crowd at the court house.
1t was said by leading local
Democratic statesmen that the
Senator's speech was not up to
his usual standard. We presume
that is SO. There was nothing in
the Senator's talk. The main idea
that was brought out by him was
that whatever chance there was
for a Democratic victory this fall
grew out of the discord in the
Republican party, and not be-
cause OF anything that the peo-
pie had right 10 expect from
the Democratic party. The SEN
ator's appeal to the voters on
the tariff question was particu-
larly unfortunate, as his main idea
was that it was all wrong to main
tain conditions SO that proper
use OF brains, money and ener-
gy would produce wealth. 1t was
in fact merely the old appeal tc
prejudice and an attempt to Sc
cure votes by causing enmity be-
tween the successful and the un-
successful citizen. The Senator ii

and perfectly good calamit,
