Speaking on the apportionment oil
school funds superintendent Bray
said it was about $4,000 less than

new TARIFF
BILL PLEASES
SALISBURY
Tells Senate Measure viii
Save Country from PrOteC-
tiOn and Socialism
TWIN EVILS HE SAYS
HATCHED In VULTURE NESTS
Bv The United Press.

KY ne OllACu AboEs
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.--Senator
Salisbury, of Delaware, today de-
Tended the Democratic tariff measure
before the Senate on the ground that
it would save the country from pro-
lection and Socialism.
Salisbury described protection and
Socialism as twin evil and ill-omen-
ed birds hatched in the nest of bust
ness and political vultures, preying
upon our political life
"One principle" he said is
the progenitor OF both-the right
and consequent duty of the govern
metn to meddle ith the distribution
and employment of capital. If you at
tempt the regulation, the encourage
ment and the distribution Of capital
in general business, wages must be
regulated, must be nationally organ
ized and individualism in business
must be eliminated. The logical end
is all industry must be nationalized.
''No special interests, no associa-
ton of manufacturers has written a
section, clause or word, as we be-
lieve, in this bill. If we can credit
even a faction of the testimony never
contradicted, schedules have been
written into previous bills by such
beneficiaries.'
