HERE'S HOW THE NEW TARIFF LAW WILL
AFFECT YOU, MR.. ULTIMATE CONSUMER

rails, barbed wire and all agricultural
implements. ~.
Five-For the benefit of the farmer
who loses his protection on wheat,
eggs, flour, etc., the new law re-
moves the duty on all articles used
by him, including wagons, ,plows,
harrows, discs, fencing, cotton bag
ging, etc. By making farming less
expensive food will, it is hoped, event
ually be made less costly.
Sixth-Sugar will be on the free
list in, three years. 1t pays the pres
ent tariff duties until next March and
then it begins paying cent a pound
until 1916, when it becomes free of
duty.
Seventh-Other articles will have
the tax reduced on them nearly one
half. At present they are taxed on
the basis of twenty to fifty per cent
of their valuation at the customs
houses. The present bill reduces this
to 26 per cent. -
Eighth the benefit of mother
and the home the duty on hosiery has
been reduced to rs per cent; blankets
should be somewhat cheaper. They
were not put on the free list, but the
duty has been materially reduced on
them. A cut in cotton goods amounts
to about 25 per cent. From the con-
sumers' point of view this will mean
more importations from France,
Austria, Germany and England of the
higher grade cotton materials used in
making children's clothes and stock
ings, cotton and wooden. 60.
Ninth-The amount of revenue
which it is estimated the new tariff
bill will produce is $247, 100000. The
income tax provision is expected to
add to this. $50, 100000 -.
The reduction in the cost of living
resulting from this tariff will be a
tendency rather than anything show
ing itself in immediate change of

Washington,

Washington, Oct. 4.-President
Wilson signed the Wilson Underwood
tariff bill at 9:10 o'clock last night
and it became a law at midnight. I'm
mense cargoes which have been in
bond or in ships outside New York
began coming in today. The old
rates will be charged and a refund
made to the importers later.
The signing of the tariff bill was
very impressive. President Wilson
used two pens in signing it and gave
one to Oscar Underwood, chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee of
the House and the other to Senator
Simmons, chairman of the Finance
Committee of the Senate, who piloted
the bill through Congress.

Here is how the new tariff law af-
fects you, Mr.. Consumer:
First-It won't reduce the cost of
living perceptibly at first. A good
many other things go to make up
your cost of living.
Second-The new tariff does I'M
tax lot of things you use. A small
fraction of a cent was added by the
old tariff to nearly everything you
eat, wear and use. This new law
takes off this small fraction of a cent,
Third You share the benefit of
this fact: That eighty millions of
dollars, formerly paid by you and
other consumers, will be raised by
tax on incomes Of $4,000 and up
ward. .-..
Fourth-Your principal necessities
have been put on the free list. They
are, therefore, exempt from any
further tariff tax. These articles are
meat, cattle, sheep, hogs, eggs, lard,
white flour, buckwheat, potatoes,
shrimps, Holsters, fish, lumber, raw
wool. tea, coal, herbs for drugs, sole
leather, alt manufactures of leather,
Including boots and shoes, harness
and saddles, rough furs, pig iron,
typewriters, cement, cocoa, books,
cheap engravings and cheap pictures,

Indianapolis. Jan. 20.-When Samuel
NJ. Ralston was nominated by the Dem
ocrats for governor of Indiana last
year it was predicted that his admin
istration would be reactionary. He Sc
cured his nomination through the eff
forts of Thomas Taggart, Democratic
national committeeman, and up to that
time no one had accused Taggart of
being d progressive.
Ralston's actions and utterances
since taking the reins of government
in the Hoosier state have therefore
surprised a great many people, for
they have been distinctly progressive
He has recommended to the legisla-
ture number of progressive meas
ures and has also strongly declared
himself in favor of a constitutional
convention to draw up an entirely
new code for the state. Strangely
enough his program has been endors-
ed by Mr.. Taggart. who says that the
people are demanding progressive leg
lslation and that unless they get it
from the Democratic party they will
turn elsewhere.
Among the progressive measures IA
Vored by the new governor is state

regulation of the sale of stocks and
bonds Governor Ralston insists that
there should be a rigid state law
against the sale or issuance of water
ed securities Representatives Lyen-
decker and Brannaman have intro
duced bills in line with the governor s
recommendations and the indications
are that the Democratic legislature will
pass one of them within a month.
The Lyendecker and Brannaman
bills are along similar lines. Both
provide in effect for the prohibition
of the sale of stocks or bonds that
are not represented by property or
paid in capital stock. Both would do
away with the sale Of stocks in pro-
motion schemes, by which promoters
reap a rich harvest. Both provide a
heavy fine when a company publishes
false statements regarding its condi-
ton Imprisonment is also provided
for violators of the law.
Not only the governor but the leg
islature is in favor of a constitutional
convention. If one should be called
there can be little doubt but that In
diana would adopt many of the amend
ments which have put Ohio, Wiscon-
sin and several of the western states
in the forefront of progressive COM
monwealtts.
