In the past, the tariff barons have
urged tariff for two principle rea
sons. First, they pretended that they
wanted to protect American working.
men. That this argument, which the
Republican protectionists listened to
with willing ear for the past sixteen
years, is farce, pure and simple,
has been proven by the Democrats al
this session Of Congress, chiefly
through the various investigations
into trust methods. Secondly, the
trusts urged that in no other way
could revenue to support the govern.
ment be collected.
Having disposed Of the first argu-
ment, the Democrats, through the
excise-income tax bill, have offered a
solution Of the other alleged difficulty.
The Democratic party believes there
is another way to meet the expenses
Of government, and that that that way way lies lies
through an income tax. And on the
merits of that belief the party is going
to ask for national support next No.

which is the other name for the watch
trust, recently sent to each member
of Congress an deliberately prepared
booklet, described as "A Report on
the Relative Cost of Producing Watch
Movements in America and European
Countries" The whole argument of
the booklet centers around an attempt
to-prove that it costs more in this
country to produce watch than it
does abroad, because of the higher
labor cost"
While dedicated to watches, the
report devotes two pages to showing
the difference in wages in other lines,
the general purpose being to demon

they are in Europe. Following is

POLICE MAKING
 WAR ON WARRANTS
Thirty-One Arrested Within Last Two Days-Bad
 Class, Says BOdeker
vagrants beware!

NagrdntS beware.
 During Thursday and Friday 31 men were arrested on charges of vagrancy and drunkenness and lodged in the city jail. Police Officers Brannon, Lyons and Byrd, patrolmen of the restricted dis trict. yesterday morning Issued five war rants against five men who were arrested Thursday, to be tried later before the criminal court. Thursday sentences were passed on three white men charged with yagrancy, each case resulting in a term in the state penitentiary and fines.
 War has been declared against this class of idlers by the police depart ment and for six weeks the days docket at the city jail had held from six to 20 such charges. In each case where the prisoners have been turned over to the county on warrants and convicted the court has given the limit in its sem tence
 Speaking of this evil yesterday, Chief of Police Bodeker said: "Aside from the evil known to extend to the young of this city, who foolishly allow themselves to be drawn into associations with such classes in certain resorts of Birmingham, it Is the opinion of the entire police force, which in many cases has proven sound, that numerous crimes, great and small, and of natures which need the protection of darkness, may be attributed either di- rectly or indirectly to this class of men.
 'Idling over the streets of the city at all hours of the day and night, oppor- tunities and temptations for crime pre- sent themselves in more appealing sur roundings and more frequently than to other men whose time is taken up in hon. est work"
 Since the issuing of special orders to the patrolmen on beats several weeks ago to the effect that Birmingham s streets must be thoroughly cleaned of vagrants. few of this class have escaped the hand of the law. The chief has set virtual dragnet for them, and in each case where there Is sufficient evidence warrants have been issued against the culprit, and the prisoner turned over to the county.
