But She Believes Money Should
Be Provided by the Gov
ernment.

NEW YORK, Nov, 25.-The Carnegie
Foundation trustees at their recent
meeting at the home Of Andrew Car
negie decided to pension future ex-
presidents Of the United States and the
unmarried widows Of x-presidents.
Mrs Benjamin Harrison, one of the
two living widows of former presidents,
said to a Georgian correspondent in
Indianapolis:
Il believe former presidents should
devote their lives to the services of the

Harrison frequently was called upon
for services and at a sacrifice of his
own time"
One hundred and twenty-five millions
OF securities have thus far been trans
ferred to the Carnegie Foundation BY
a two-thirds vote the directors are en-
powered TO modify or discontinue any
work or inaugurate any new work that
seems more desirable for the wants OF
the age, whether they he the promotion
Of new ideas or the development Of
those Of today.
In making public the action Of the
trustees there was also given out a
paragraph taken from "The Gospel OF
Wealth" published almost a quarter OF
a century ago. 1t was given out as MI
Canegie's chart of life'ss voyage as ii
was then revealed to him. The few
hundred words that set the iron master
to giving and led to his resolve to die
poor are as follows:
Men may die without mourning
the pity of their fellows. still shar-
ers in great business enterprises
from which their capital can not be
or has not been Withdrawn, and
which is left chiefly at death for
public uses, yet the day is not far
distant when the man who dies
leaving behind him millions Of
available wealth, which was free
for him to administer during life
will pass away uuWept, unhonoreQ
and unsung,' no matter to what use
he leaves the Gross which he can
not take with him. Of such as theset

Tax Luxuries Highest,
Necessities Lowest
Washington, Nov. %.


Answering your far reaching in
quiry touching the duty of the par
ty to the people in reducing the
tariff, will say that while have no
disposition to thrust my views on
any subject upon the public, it is
my individual opinion and settled
conviction that promises made to
win an election should be religious
" carried out after the election is
won.
Men should say what they mean
and mean what they say; and they
should speak the plain language Of
the plain people so that all may un-
derstand. The voters of the land
have a right to be treated honestly,
candidiy, fairly and courageously.
They are entitled to that square
deal Of which we hear so much and
see-so little.
Robert J. Walkers report on the
tariff remains to this day the great
est paper on that subject In it he
aid down this general principles:
"The highest rates should be on
luxuries; the lowest or none at all
On the necessaries of life" That
should be the basis of our revision
u The tariff 70 which we are SOL
EMMY committed.

Sees Staying in Film,
Then Says She Killed
Husband 10 Years Ago
Long BroodiDg Comes to Gil
max When Macon Woman Is
Held as Insane.

MACON, GA, Nov. 25.-Ten years of
secret remorse over the killing of her
husband in Ireland, and for whose
death she now says she was RESPONSE
bic, has so affected the mind of Mrs.
Isabelle McAfee that her relatives here
have had her put in Jail on a writ Of
luuacy.
Several months ago Mrs. McAfee saw
a moving picture, tAc plot of which, she
thought cores onded in a measure
with the hidden story OF her life. From
that day, her relatives say, she began
to worry and weep, and to manifest
every evidence of suffering the pangs
OF conscience. Finally her nervous
system became shattered, and with fail
ing health her mind began TO wander.
In her more lucid periods Mrs. Nc
Afee declared TO her relatives that she
had been responsible for the violent
death Of her husband in Ireland in
1902, and that this fact now was prey
ing on her mind. Today she repeated
these statements to the jailer and other
persons at the Jail She declares that
she is not crazy, and is angry with her
sister for having her confined in Jail,
but says that her health has been
ruined by her mental anguish and con-
slant remorse.
Mrs. McAfee came to Macon about a
year ago. Prior to that time she had
lived in the North for two years She
has been in the United only since 1909
She will be tried before a jury for lu-
macy.

Editor New York American:
Sir-Answering your telegram, the

These should be tae compass that
guides our actions in writing the new
tariff

clearly expressed i'm detail on most Of
the important schedules to be revised,
In the bills chat were passed through
the house in this congress. They were
approved by the Democratic national
convention and ratified By the people in

Details. of course, can be changed so
long as they do NOT trench upon our
principals and pledges.
In my Judgment, the members Of the

Plan to Pursue
In LeyYing Tariff.

The rates should be arranged so
as 10 produce the maximum of rev.
enue. while taking from the ulti-
mate consumers the minimum of
money III the shape Of tariff taxes.
Chat statement may appear para
doNical but what ii proposes is
perfectly feasible There is max
mum revenue producing tariff rate
on each particular item which can
be ascertained, and which should
be ascertained. The moment the
rate on any article goes above the
maximum revenue producing rate
the revenue begins 10 fall off and
The more the rate is increased the
more the revenue Qwindles until it
disappears entirely and the rate be-
comes prohibitiVe.
Such is the case with blankets
aine feet long. worth not over ~
cents per pound. an article Of prime
necessity on which the compound
specific and ad valorem tariff rates
when reduced to ad va.orem
amounts to a tariff tax on between
365 and 49, - per cent,
Without going into @rearisome de
.aiIs j. is safe to say that three
fourths Of all the tariff rates of the
Payne-Aldrich- Smoot tariff bin are
above The maximum reyenue~pro-
ducing rates and should be reduced
ut least to a competitive point.
The truth is that the words ct
competitive tariff are more easily
understood than the words "a tariff
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-11-25

for revenue only" "A competitive
tariff" is one which would give
Americans the American market so
long as they sell at fair prices, bat
would let in foreign products if
Americans undertake TO gougt
Americans. "A competitive tariff"
would in practice be "a tariff for
revenue" The revenue can be in
creased more frequently by reduc-
ing rates than by increasing them.
The present tariff if thoroughly
overhauled could be made to pro-
duce a. great deal more revenues
and at the same time not cost the
taxpayers one fourth of what they
now pay. for under the present
system where one dollar goes into
the Federal treasury four or five
dollars go into the pockets Of the
tariff barons.
The rates in a new bill Or new
bills should be fully as low as the
rates in the bills which we passed
during this congress, and in some
cases lower.
All the talk about the Democrats
wanting to lnjure business is abso-
lutely Dreposterous.
What we want to do is TO give
every man an equal opportunity in
the race Of life, and not pamper a.
few at the expense Of many. That
plan would foster every legitimate
industry in the land and injure
none. That is one way in which
congress can aid in reducing the
exceedingly high cost of living
which is really the most pressing,
vexatioqs and important problem
with which we have to deal What
the people demand is cheaper food,
cheaper clothing, cheaper neces-
saries Of life generally, and any cuts
in tariff rates which do not accom-
plish that are not worth the ,rou-
bic and labor of making.
The revision ought to be and no
doubt will be made carefully, scien~
tifically and in harmony with Dem
ocratic promises
