tabIishment of tomato can
Il neries to save the tomato
| said Judge James J. Murphy Wednes-
day. whereas if the farmer would
sell tomatoes at the right price, so that
the housewife could afford to buy
them, much would be saved in this
| way Rather than do that the farmer
will allow tons of tomatoes 20 rot.
! Two cents pound is enough for toma-
/ toes. If they were selling at this fig
ure you would find that number OF
! housewives would be bying them for
| preserving purposes
"A cannery would be a great thing
/ for e. PasO, and I believe IN building
up the city by the addition OF all
kinds of factories, but along this toma-
to line if the price was right, a can
merry would not be absolutely neces-
sary, on the ground that it alone would
mean the saving from rottinS of tons
of tomatoes each year.
"The day is cOming.R said fire
chief W. Armstrong, when the fire
departments of all Texas cities will be
motorized. The advent of the automo-
bile into fire fighting has sounded
the death knelI for the fire horse. In
our local department the automobile
fire apparatus has meant a saving. All
nothing but automobiles.
with autos a great deal more ter
ritory can be covered, thus saving the
building of two or more stations. If
the larger cities could dispose of their
apparatuses they would motorize that
much quicker. but thev have not been
able to do this, as the smaller towns
do not want them The automobile is
ment."
THE ultimate consumer will get lit
tie benefit from the reduction of the
tariff on fuse for explosives" an i'm
porter of large quantities of this class
of mining supplies said Wednesday
evening I'VE have been working for
years TO get 4 reduction of the duty
of 50 percent ad valorem on this class
of imports. This was not a protec-
tive tariff in any sense. for the fuse
manufactured in the Unitedd States IS
made by Chinese and Japanese and not
by American labor.
when the present tariff reduced
this duty from 50 to Is percent We
expected to give our customers the
benefit of the reduction in tariff. But
at the same time that the reduction
became effective we received notice !
from our New York people that the /
foreign manufa cturers had combined |
to raise the price to q point which viii /
take up the amount of the tariff re-
duction- That is only one item but |
1t is an important one to the develop
ment of the southwest and will have /
an effect upon the mining business IN |
