Maine Commodities Are
Slaughtered by Tariff Bill.
All the Protection Taken from
26 Of List Of 79 Articles.
Farmers Have Something Worse
Than Reciprocity to Look at.

Maine farmers and manufacturers
nficance of the Democratic punish
ment ,meted out to New England for
her many years of steadfast Republi-
canism and support of the protective
tariff principles. AS the scope of the
free trade bill is better realized more
and more of the voters are sending
assurances of their support.
Out of list of 70 commodities raised
or manufactured in Maine, the Under
wood bill. as approved by the Senate
Democratic caucus, takes all the pro-
lection from 26 of them. In two cases
so per cent. of the protection is re-
moved; in two others, Is per cent; in
another 10 per cent; in IA others, be-
tween 60 and 50 per cent. in % 9TH
ers, between so and SO per cent; in
five others, between 40 and 40 per
cent: in four others, between 80 and
80 per cent. and in the remaining
three. between 20 and 20 per cent.
The list of commodities from which
all protection has been removed such
Maine staples as potatoes, corn, eggs,
milk, cream, harness, rye. swine, cat
tie, sheep, wheat, stave bolts, last
blocks, boards, sawed lumber. clap
boards. shingles. pulp, etc. Brick and
tile lose about two-thirds of the pro-
lection afforded by the Payne bill.
Slate loses half its protection, furni-
ture more than half, barrels, casks,
boxes and shook lose half; oats so
per cent and other products of the
farm and mill in proportion.
Farmers living along the interna-
ticnal border have already begun to
feel the effect of the impending
change. Farms in the provinces near
the line are increasing in value. Farms
on the American side are decreasing.

expressed it. last week. When 81

Interstate Commerce Commission
Takes Drastic ACtiOn--IS Effective
On October Is, l9l3--Other Re-
forms Have Also Been Ordered.
Reductions Would Mean 16 Per Cent Of the Total
Revenue Believed Fight Will Be Result

Washington, Aug. 4.-Reductions in
express rates which will cost the com
panies fully $685. 0000-approximately
IS per cent. of their gross revenue,
were ordered by the Interstate Com
meree Commission, today, to become
effective, on or before Oct. Is, 1913
Notable reforms in practices also were
ordered.
The most important change pre-
scribed by the order is by way of
modification of the present graduated
scale of parcel rates. One hundred
pound rates for short distances either
have been left unchanged or slightly
reduced; for longer distances they
have been lowered; for 50 pounds or
less all rates have been practically re-
duced For packages more than four
pounds going more than 200 miles and
less than 2000 the new express rates
are generally lower than the parcel
post rates; for more than 5000 miles
the rates are practically the same.
The report and order of the commits
sion. prepared by Commissioner John
II. Marble. are virtual affirmation of
the findings of former Commissioner
Franklin X. Lane, now secretary of
the Interior
Divide Country in Blocks.
By prescribing a so-called block sys-
TEN dividing the United States into
$50 blocks averaging 2a0o square miles
as originally proposed by Mr.. Lane,
900 900 900 different rates now pub
hshed by the express companies will
be reduced to less than 65o.000 and the
Interstate Commerce Commission be-
lieves that the system points the way
to solution of the existing maze of
freight rates.
The general impression in official
quarters is that the express companies
will attempt to test by legal means
the eonstitutionality of the commits
sions order.
