mer Vice President sherman, ex-Repre-
Isentatives Mulholland and Haskins and

to the association in 1906, he quoted
| Watson as charging Theodore Roose-
fvelt with being willing to make any
bargain with the trusts - to have

represented and misquoted as to my
relations with the President and his

Peter Alexander Fined in Municipal
Court - Counsel Charged Con-
spiracy on Part of Officers.

Peter Alexander, charged with ped
ding fruit without license, was be-
fore the municipal court this morning
and pleaded guilty. Attorney Myron F.
Davis appeared for him and pleaded
that Alexander had a license which
expired in April, but the respondent
did not know it had expired He also
declared that there was conspiracy
against Alexander and his brother and
that there was a determined effort on
the part of officers to drive them out
of town, using the slightest pretext to
accomplish their purpose. He urged
probation.
Probation Officer G. Menzies Miller
lplainly told the court that he did not
sympathize with the probation idea
as Alexander, through experience, was
perfectly familiar with the law cover
| ing peddlers and their licenses and that
this instance was merely an effort to
avoid paying a peddler s license fee.
| Judge Frank f. Barber imposed a
fine of $50 and the costs We're S4.04.
Alexander said he could raise the
money from friends and departed in
the company of Sheriff C. f. Mann to
raise the necessary. The arrest was
made by Deputy Sheriff C. I. Knapp,
who Informed the court that he had re
celved more than 20 complaints re-
garding Alexander selling without a
license and that the last was from
County Clerk +. d. f. Stowe, who re
ported that he had asked Alexander
if he had license and that the re.
spondent had replied that he had =

drich tariff law is proposed by the
Democratic Underwood Simmons tariff
bill upon which the Senate began gen
eral debate today according to the re-
port of the finance committee majority
submitted by the chairman, Senator +.

The report also shows that the bill
as reported to the Senate provides
rates 4.22 per cent lower than the
Underwood bill as it passed the House
and that from it together with other
government receipts for the fiscal
year ending June 30 1914 there will be
an estimate surplus in the government
treasury of $2,020,000.
A salient feature of this bill, it is
pointed out, is the large increase of
imports to be received free of duty.
Under the House bill the value of free
listed imports on the basis of 1912 i'm
porations was $l03, 700, whereas the
Democrats of the Senate in caucus by
sweeping changes, propose to free-list

crease in undutiable imports over the
House bill of $43, ,367 900.
Upon the basis of 10 months for the
coming fiscal year, the report estimates
that the receipts from customs alone
under the new bill viii be $266, 750, 900;
from income tax for 10 months sos, $50,
000; corporation tax S37 goo, 600; in
ternal revenue including tax on cottor
futures of $5,000,000; 1927 100000 ant
that the revenue from all other sources
will bring the total for the fiscal yea,
| to 1896, $4,000 With disbursements
estimated for the committee by treas
| ury experts at 1904, 100000, a balance
| is SHOWN in favor of the government
Of $2,020,O00.

3" There's No
Place Like Home

runs the familiar old song. and
there S a great deal of truth in this
particularly captivating phrase if
the home is an attractive one.
Home is just what we make it,
by the presence of ourselves, our
attitude toward others, and by the
way home is kept.
And that leads to the thought
that the homes of the millions in
this country may be constantly i'm
proved and made more comfortable
if the advertising appeal is needed.
Almost every day, If not every
day, The Reformer prints adver-
tisements that point the way for
householders to buy well and exer-
else economy.

many home comforts are needed
things to keep the house cool and
inviting-things for the table
things that are appetizing-it pays
to read the ads in The Reformer.
