GOVERNOR CAN BAR VETERAN
Duluth Judge Finds Preference Law
in Appointments Void.

Duluth, April 20.-Judge Dibell has
declared unconstitutional the state
law which provides that old soldiers
shall be given the preference in state
appointments where they can qualify
for the situation.
The decision was in the suit of Al
bert Woolson against Governor Eber-
hart. Mr.. Woolson sought the office
of deputy boiler inspector. He said
he was an expert on boilers and an
old soldier and claimed that Gov
ernor Eberhart violated the state law
when he appointed another man to the
place.
This was the second case of this
type to come up this spring, but the
first case was dismissed on techni
cality.

SUBMITTED TO
Lower HOUSE
Committee Report on Exten=
sion OF Free List.
ONLY RIGHT TO FARMERS

Statement Declares Proposed legisIa-
ton Will Compensate the Producer
for the Advantages Lost by Cana
dian Recprocity-Loss in Revenue
Estimated at Ten Million Dollars
Annually.
Washington, April 20-The major
ity report of the ways and means com.
mittee on the so called farmers free
list bill, submitted to the house by
Chairman Underwood, is merger OF
Democratic political argument and an
analysis of the proposed duty exemp-
tions.
The report shows that the bill would
reduce the tariff revenue S10,016, ,495,
based on the importations for the last
fiscal year, an amount described as
'inconsiderable in comparison with
the great saving and advantages to all
of our people from the additions to
the free list provided for.
Quoting President Taft's recent Ca
madam reciprocity speeches the report
seeks to convey the impression that
the administration is convinced that
protective tariff rates are too high.
In several public addresses" it
says, "he (the president) has admit
ted that tariff rates are too high, that
in, civ "a
ly high prices, felt especially in the
increased cost of living, which now
bears heavily on our people, and that
they have not received the long prom
ised benefits of domestic competition
under high protective duties"
Republican Tariff Policy.
Referring to the presidents state
ment that the Republican party had
modified it's tariff policy so as to limit
it for purposes of protection TO the
difference i'm cost of production here
and abroad with a reasonable profit
to the American producer, the com
mittee report says
This is a confession, as was the
heDuDllCdH III VI iDpps 'he'' N'N
theory of high protective duties, q
put forth by the Republican party, has
broken down, that combinations ant
trusts which prey upon the people
have been fostered by the tariff ant
that under high tariff protection Amer
lean manufacturers have forced un
reasonable profits from the people"
The reciprocity agreement. the com
mittee asserts, cannot afford the Amer
ican people all the needed relief from
high prices. "Action on the agree
ment involves the necessity of furthe
and immediate action in removing
number of duties on imports fror
other countries in order that justic
may be done to the great army of agr
cultural producers. who in the Cans
dian agreement are to have all tn
alleged protection removed from thei
products without corresponding G
reciprocal removal of the protectiy
duties most burdensome on the con
modities they must purchase as me-
essary to sustain their lives and II
dustries'
