A Tariff Triumph.

On Friday night President
Wilson affixed his signature to
the new tariff bill and the same
is now law, awaiting only de-
partmental preparation of in
structio3nnis to customs officers
and importers.
The bill is said to make import
duties;'on an average, lower than
they have been since 1916, and
it is conceded that the govern
ment revenues from imports will
be materially lessened, but this,
as is the intention Of the bill, is
to reduce the cost of the import
ed article to the consumer by re-
ducing the tax upon it's entry in
to the country. This anticipated
deficiency, created in the interest
Of the1great body of the people,
is expected to be made up or re-
couped by the levying of a grad
uated income tax, starting with
incomes Of 5000, in the case of
bachelors, and with $4,000 in
the. caset of men with families.
Thus will@the burden of support
ing the government be in large
part lifted from the backs of
those VI a'''s small and moderate
means and a larger proportion
than heretofore will be borne by
those in easy or affluent circum-
stances.
This is the fulfillment of the
democratic pledges. The presi-
dent and the congress elected on
this pledge have been earnest
and sincere and industrious in
it's fulfllment, working steadily
in special session all during the
long, hot summer, at the expense
Of personal comfort and private
interests. For this accomplish
ment they deserve the thanks of
the people for faithful service
performed.

Controversy Grows Warm

NOAAVAONN ~ -
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 6.--The con-
troversy between r. G. Dye
state highway commissioner,
and A. V. Smith, author of the
present good roads law, over the
provisions of the act passed IN
the last days of the legislature,
is growing warm. Mr.. Dye says
the act is cumbersome and a
failure, but Mr.. Smith insists
that it is all right if enforced
properly. Mr.. Dye retaliates
with the declaration that:
"All the trouble is in the law.
The people have a right to know,
so far as the department is con-
cerned, why no road work is go
ing on by improvement districts
created under the Smith bill, and
to put good roads enthusiasts on
notice that now is the time to
begin campaign which will re-
suit in the enactment by the leg
islature of a law under which
roads can be built. All that Mr..
Smith has to say about his bill
or rather the defects of his bill
is that he is willing to step down
and out in the event the bill is
fatally defective.
'It quickly developed that the
bill was not workable and that
the law is too cumbersome and
impracticable and so much so
that it is imperative.
Immediately after the ap-
prevail of the act l carefully and |
diligently examined the law
with a view to determining
whether marketable bonds
could be issued by improvement |
Hereunder. They can
not. Later along l submitted |
the proposition to Attorney Gen
eral Moose and he unqualifedly |
concurred with me-"

letes are women. The up-to-
date girl can ride q bicycle, play
tennis, row boat, play golf,
and, in fact, there is no outdoor
sport in these advancing times
that the fair maidens OF TINS
glorious universe cannot accom-
plish. A great many people Will
say l am in error in mentioning
the fact that women can play all
outdoor sports. There is our
great national game, for IN
stance. How many people Will
say, II never saw g woman VINO

people who doubt young LADIES'
can play baseball, | wish to say
that l, at one time, was under
the impression until I witnessed
a game played by the All Amerl-
can Ladies' Baseball Club. This
club of lady players do play a
remarkable good game of ball,
and to those people who doubt
ladies can play ball, I wish to
state-do not fail to witness the
game of ball on Wednesday, Oc-
tober 9Th, when the famous All
American Ladies will play one OF
the most interesting and exclt-
ing games ever witnessed in
Newport, with the Newport
team.

TO Get A QUORUM
So No Meeting OF the school Board
Wa Held Last
Night.

when six members of the city
school board failed TO appear At the
meeting called for last night at the
high school office and legal eNecu-
tive session was made impossible be-
cause of the lack of a quorum, the
six officers who remained turned the
gathering into an informal confer
ence TO discuss various school meas
ures. Another meeting was called
for Monday, September ] at o'clock
at which the important matter OF
regulating buildings, salaries, etc, to
come under the decreased school
fund will be the foremost topic.
From the discussion last night it
was apparent that school will be
tarted on time, with full list Of
teachers, although some difficulty
may offer in providing enough rooms
for the increased school enrolment.
The meeting next Monday will be
imperative If school is started prop
erly. The members who failed to ap-
pear last night were Messrs. Knep-
per, Phillips, Steiger, Gillespie, Nc
Clure and Lockwood

GIVES OUT THE
SPEER CHARGES
MAKES PUBLIC THE CHARGES
AGAINST GEORGIi'S FED
ER\L JUDGE.
INVESTIGATION IS ORDERED
At Request of the Judge. However
the Probe VIII Not BE started
Intil in the Fall.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-m re
spOnse to repeated demonds by Re
publican Leader Mann, Chairman
Clayton of the judiciary committee
touay gave the house the substance of
the charges made against Judge En-
ory Speer of Georgia, in a report
from Attorney General McRcynolds.
These charges are that Judge SpeeT
attempted bribery; took money from
court funds for private purposes, con-
trary To the law, employed his sOn-in-
law about the court and offices; Vio-
lated laws relative to the selection
of iurios; violated supreme court
mandates; decided in favor of his SON
in-law in matters relating TO fees;
used court officials as private SER
wants; allowed the dissipation Of the
assets of estates in the custody of the
courts and appointed receiverships
without notice to owners; refused TO
allow the dismissal of litigation with
out giving relatives generous fees, al
lowed money to remain without in
terest in banks in which relatives
were Interested; unlawfully seized
and ordered sold property in litiga-
tion, and used drugs.
1t Is probable that the Investigation
which was authorized today by the
house will not be undertaken uhtll
late in the fall. The Judiciary COM
mittee of the house tomorrow is eX-
pected to accede TO Judge Speer's re-
quest for postpOnement, which will be
accompanied by an affidavit from Or.
s. r. Rogers, the judges physician,
stating that his patient was a hay
fever sufferer, and that it would be
dangerous for him to come to Wash
ington at this time of the year.
The doctor who said he had been
Judge Speer's family physician for
20 years, declared that the Judge does
not yield to any conduct Or habits
which would receive the condemna-
ton or disapproval Of his physician
This was the answer TO the charge
that the Judge used drugs.
