tunity now enjoyed by all girls
and boys is that Of getting an ed.
ucation
Fifty to one hundred years ago,
there was some excuse for not be.
coming educated, but today there
is no excuse Poverty does not
excuse one. If one has the energy
20 become something he will
surely succeed Even in our little
town one can find something to
DO to make part Of his school eX
pcnse. Girls may find places to
stay making their board and room
rent boys may get employment
10 stores and other places OF
course, Where you are able to get
an education otherwise, this is not
isei but, at any cost, one
must become educated.

After being under consideration in
congress for nearly six months the
new tariff bill is a law. and for the
first time in nearly quarter of cen
tury the country has a tariff law orig
mated by the Democratic party. The
bill will doubtless be known as the
Underwood Simmons bill, taking the
title from Chairman Underwood of the
ways and means committee of the
house and Chairman Simmons of the
finance committee of the senate.
The sponsors for the bill say that it
will raise ample revenue. Chairman
Simmons has been advised that it will
yield a surplus of at least $4,000 900
a year above current expenses. If it
does not meet the expenses of running
the government the expenses will be
reduced
One remarkable thing about the pres
ent tariff bill, precedent in fact, is
that the senate cut the average rate
of duty carried by the bill below that
fixed by the house. Heretofore in the
making of tariff bill the house has
slashed the rates, while the senate has
then taken up the bill and readjusted
the rates on higher general average.
The house bill carried a general av-
erage rate slightly below 80 per cent.
This the senate cut a little over 4 per
cent The conference committee has
raised the general average duty but
slightly. The average ad valorem duty
carried by the bill as perfected is
about 81 per cent. The average under
the present law is about 81 per cent.
Many Changes Considered.
The conference committee had to
deal with 676 paragraphs on which
there We're disagreements Some of
these involved only the change of a
word or a question of punctuation. but
majority of them represented diff
ferences in rates and few were fun
damental
The house conferees also accepted
the senate amendment fixing dates
when the wool duties shall 90 into ef-
feet, which was one of the final STUN
bling blocks.
Raw wool will go on the free list on
Dec /, and the reduced duties car.
ried by the present bill will become eff
fective on Jan. l. The house bill pro
posed to make the wool duties effective
Immediately on the bill being signed
by the president. The final action was
an important concession to the manu-
facturers.
The senate won over the house also
on controverted paragraphs in the
schedule relating to cotton cloths and
yarns. BY this agreement slightly
higher duties are given to certain
coarser grades Of cotton cloths and
