WANTS LARGER FREE LIST
Iowa Senator Declares No More

WANTS LARGER FREE LIST

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Cum
Minis, of Iowa, who has been credited
with the purpose of preventing action
on the Mccall reciprocity bill by in
sisting upon amendments, which Will
necessitate resubmitting President
Taft's agreement to a further confer
ence with the commissioners OF Can
ada, said that none of the amend
ments which he proposes to offer will
have to be passed upon by Canada.
He points out that the Mccall bill
proposes to lower or remove entirely
the duties on certain articles, the pro
duct OF Canada, when imported, into
the United States. provided certain
other specified concessions are made
by Canada.
In other words, the Mccall bill d.
reefs that the United States customs
authorities shall allow certain goods
to come into this country from Can
ada at different rates of duty than
those specified in the Payne-Aldrich
tariff act.
Extending the Free List.
His amendments will, he says. sim
ply extend the number Of such goods
so as to include certain manufactured
articles which the farmer has TO buy,
like agricultural implements. for in
stance, and so as to include also meats
of various kinds His amendments do
not require any further concessions
from Canada and. therefore, will not
SeQuire the assent Of Canada. They
merely extend the list of articles com
ing In from Canada upon which duties
under our laws will be either lowered
or removed entirely.
The conditions imposed upon Can
ada it is not proposed to increase;
she will be asked, under Senator
Cummins amendments. to make no
further concessions than she has al
ready made. Therefore, argues Sena-
tor Cummins. there will be no reason
whatever to call for further confer
ence with the Ottawa authorities II
his amendments should be accepted,
Canada will simply have to add TO the
list Of articles upon which we make
concessions, those proposed by the
lOwan.
Senator Cummins has not yet sub
mitted his proposed amendments to
the senate and may not do so until
the information asked for by him
from the tariff commission, upon
which that body is now working night
and day. is forthcoming. He said that
one amendment would put fresh meats
on the free list. Under the terms OF
the Mccall bill the duty is reduced to
tx cents per pound.
He would also include agricultural
implements and other manufactured
products necessary to the farmer
among those articles upon which low
err duties should be levied by us at
the Canadian border.

The majority OF mothers
know what Arnold Knit goods
are. some mothers do not. and
ITO you we will say that twenty
years ago the wisdom of using
the softest, downiest, finest
fabric for clothing the BABY,
began to take root in the moth
er's mind. That was when the
Arnold" Knit Wear for Babies
was first presented to mothers.
The fabric was soft, pliable and
absorbent then. The years
have perfected the manufacture
ing process still more, till the
Arnold" Knit Fabric is ex-
quisite in its texture. Being
knit with a soft chain thread, it
is elastic and readily shapes to
the body without losing form:
woven goods are harsh and un-
yielding. Ask to see the
Arnold" Knit night drawers.
The softness, sickness, dura-
bility of the fabric will at once
appeal to the careful mother.
