A fair sign of the conditions in
the central part of the state is the
dissolution of the Kansas State
League, which included Hutchin-
son. The reason for breaking up
the league is said to be the fact
that short crops and poor business
conditions have cut down the at
tendance until the league is no
longer a paying proposition. We
presume. in the month of August
Hutchinson will join Liberal and
Wichita and indulge in base ball
between the Fats and the Leans.

TARIFF POSITION
is STATED ANEW
President Taft Again Explains
Why He Vetoed
Bills.
HE is NO FREE TRADER
Declares Willingness to BE
Judged by What He
Has Done
He is NO FREE TRADER

Ottumwa. Iowa, September 90
President Taft ended his two days
tour in Iowa here tonight as he had
begun it--with speech on the tariff.
TO an audience which filled large
tent and gave him the closest atten-
ton he has had, tho President stated
anew the position he has taken with
reference to the taric bills he vetoed.
The most spontaneous and prolonged
applause occurred when Mr.. TAFT ex-
claimed:
II am no free trader; l am pro-
tectionists. pledged TO the policy OF a
protective tariff based on the differ
cnce in the cost of production in this
country and the cost OF production
abroad"
The President was again applauded
when he declared that he was going
TO recommend reductions in the
wooden and cotton schedules just as
coon as the tariff board reports on
those schedules in December. He de-
nounced the present wool schedule
% indefensibly high. but declared that
the wooden bill which he vetoed was
drawn without regard to tho effect
ST would have on the Industry in this
country: was drawn without adequate
Information and was largely the work
of a single Senator. Mr.. TAFT said he
felt the country could we'll AFFORD to
wait two or three months longer and
got a bill passed on scientific data
and complete information.
Tho farmers free list bill. Mr.. Taft
said, was intended as a compensation
to the farmer for whatever damage
he might suffer from Canadian re-
ciprocity. He asserted that reciprocity
would not have hurt the farmer any
way. but It's defeat in Canada wiped
out tho last reason for so slipshod a
measure. The President denounced
