"On December 20, 1911, l sent a mes
sage TO the congress, recommending a
prompt revision of the tariff on wool
and WoOlens. | urged a reduction of
duties which should remove all the
excuses and inequalities of the sched-
ule. but should leave a degree of pro-
lection adequate to maintain the con-
tinued employment of machinery and
labor already established in that great
industry. With that message l trans
mitted a report Of the tariff board which
furnished for the first time the infor-
nation needed to frame a revision bill
of this character. and recommended that
legislation should at once be under
taken in the light of this informa-
ton
Instead OF such a measure Of thor
ough and genuine revision. based on
full information of the facts, and with
rates properly adjusted to all the diff
ferent stages of the industry, there is
now presented for my approval bill
Identical with the one which vetoed in
August, 1911. before the report of the
tariff board was made. The tariff
boards report fully and completely JUS
titles my veto of that date. The amount
of ad valorem duty necessary to off
set the difference in the cost Of pro-
duction of raw wool mere and abroad
varies with every grade of wool Con
sequently an ad yalorem rate of duty
adjusted to meet the difference in the
cost of production of high priced woods
is not protective to low priced woods.
In any case. the report Of the tariff
board shows that the ad valorem duty
of 20 per cent on raw wool, imposed in
the bill now submitted to me, is made
quate to meet this difference in cost in
the case Of four-fifths of our total wool
clip. The disastrous effect upon the
business Of our farmers engaged in wool
raising can not be more clearly stated.
To maintain the status quo in the wool
growing industry, the minimum ad
valorem rate necessary even for high
grade wool in years of high prices
would be 80 per cent
The great increase in the imports

Constantinople Hit by
Quake; Turks Think It
Italian Fleet and Flee
Rocking of Earth Mistaken for
Bombardment or Dynamiting
of Forts-People in Panic.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 9.-Two
violent earthquake shocks, which
caused widespread alarm and heavy
damage, were felt here early today.
The tremors began at 3:24 o'clock and
lasted several seconds.
So sharp were the undulations that
some of the residents of the city were
thrown from their beds. Terrified citi-
zens fled to the streets in their night
clothing.
Some one started a report that an
Italian fleet had gained entrance to the
Bosphorus and had either commenced a
terrific bombardment or was using dy
Mantle to destroy the forts. The re-
ports added to the terror and many fled
from the city, without taking time to
dress
Walls and chimneys were shaken
down by the shock and numerous per-
sons were injured by flying wreckage.

Shock Recorded at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug 9.-According
to the seismograph at the Georgetown
university, an earthquake began at $50
last evening and continued until 9;5S.
There were three heavy shocks, the
first at 9:13, the second at 9:16 and the
third at 9:1S. The record could not be

meeting of the Arizona comission and
the New Mexico commission. Mr..
Jones took a short trip to the New
Mexico capital and up on the Rio
Grande to Espanola, a great fruit
growing center of the Rio Grande
valley. The trip was made with the
New Mexico superintendent OF public
instruction, Alvin n. White.
Speaking of the rate hearing in
Denver, which Mr.. Jones and Score
tary Smith of the commission at
tended. he said that It was very
probable that a distance tariff should
be established for livestock shippers
from points in Arizona to California
markets.
Old Tariff Unearthed
Before starting on their trip To
Denver. the gentlemen unearthed m
old tariff that had been in effect IN
Arizona for sixteen years previous
TO 1910. In that year the old tariff
was cancelled by the Southern Pa
cific. By this old tariff. the distance
tariffs were shown between points
IN New Mexico. IT these same tariffs
could be established now between the
state and the California market. the
rate per car would be S77.
Railroads Demur
When asked by Commissioner
Prouty of the Interstate commission
why this rate could not he had in
this state, the railroad interests de-
INJURED the question.
Some time ago the rate was S126.
and by an agreement between tho
livestock men of the state and the
railroads, rate of S95 was granted
To the shippers. This IS the rate
that now APPLIES TO livestock Skinned
from the Salt river valley to Cali
fornia markets. II is expected that
the Interstate commission will mako
a rate OF $50 or SS5.

TRYING to Fool the Farmers.

Come into my parlor said the
spider to the fly" That S u t
what Woodrow Wilson is saying
to the farmers of this country when
he solicits their votes for hims e f
and the free-trade platform of his
party. The writer opines, that the
farmers of the United States have
not forgotten the ruinous years
under the first Cleveland admins
tration, when both branches of
congress were dominated by demo-
Gratis and we had a tariff for reven-
ue only. The farmers will remem-
Der that they sold their wheat for
IS cents per bushel, oats at II
cents per bushel, and their potatoes
for IS cents per bushel and they
could not give them away n h e
spring, when men could be hired
for IS cents per day. Crops were
sold at low price and mortgages
increased in size. All h a S b n
changed under republican rule and
a republican tariff. The farmers
have become prosperous. I h e y
have improved their lands, paid off
their mortgages, improved their
stock, bought city property a n d
automobiles and many t h e m
have money in the b a k. T h e
writer does not think that the farm
ers will be influenced to vote against
their own interests.

Free Trade Means RuindtiOn.

1t is a political saying that has
become an axiom. A party advo-
eating free trade cannot be expect
ed to revise the tariff so as to do
Justice to all interests and all sec
tons of the country. President
Taft and the party believe in tar
iff for revenue with incidental pro-
lection, sufficient o protect t h e
farmer, the manufacturer, the art
isans and operatives in our factor
les against cheap foreign G o o d S
and cheap foreign labor. Under a
protective system, this country has
experienced it's greatest prosperity
and departure from that system
means ruination, su IF er n e n d
misery as the past has taught us.

Citizen.

Mr.. Citizen: The editor of the Leader
would say for your edifcatiOn that there
was something in the last issue of the
paper in regard to the "disgraceful
brawl" to which you refer. In fact it
was the only paper in the city which
made any reference to the disgraceful
affair, which came very near terminal
ing i'll the death of the young victim,
who. since the occurrence, has been in
very precariOus condition.
The author of the above communica-
ton is correct in the statement that
the affair referred to is common talk
on the Streets 1t is time to launch
another campaign in WATERFOWL that
the public may again be enlightened as
to some of the disgraceful things that are
being perpetrdted and permitted under
the eyes of the guardians OF the law.
A change for the better? Then the
mayor will have to show us. There are
shady and questionable places within
the city; places that need investigation
and should be Investigated. But like
other affairs that need regulation, the
wishes of the public are ignored that
the political ring may thrive. The i'm
possibility of securing a sane regula-
tiOn, makes it apparent that more pro-
nounced change Is necessary in the adj
ministrative affairs of WatertOwn. The
flushing up of these disgraceful af-
fairs are becoming too common.

WatertOWn Weekly Leader.
Mr.. Editor: I have just received YOUR
last issue of the Leader and do not see
anything mentioned of a disgraceful
brawl on our city streets last Sunday
morning. Now, Mr.. Editor, do you think
it will be necessary in the near future
to go about armed to the teeth" in or
der to protect ourselves against the
"pluguglies" and worthless "bums" who
lie in wait for some unfortunate who
happens to be little worse for liquor,
Iii order to get few free" drinks? If
the victim refuses to 'cOme across" he
Is goaded into quarrel if he is drunk
enough aud beaten.
This affair is common talk on the
streets. How such a thing can happen
right in the heart of the city and every
body concerned get away without the
police doing anything, is something 1

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

For undiluted gall, the followers
of the Bull Moose take the bakery.
While denying that they are repub-
licans and doing all they can to de-
feat the party, many of the electors
insist on remaining on the repub-
lican ticket knowing that it would
be impossible to be elected under
the new party designation mas
querading as republicans and seek
ing election under false political
pretense. 1t would be better for
the true republicans to vote for the
democratic electors, for they are
not running under false colors and
a democratic president would.be far
safer for the country than man of
Roosevelt's stamp.
