The New Tariff Bill


The new tariff bill just presented to
Congress has been received with
more hearty approval throughout the
country than any that has been Pre-
sented heretofore for more than half
a century. While the Republicans
have strained every nerve In endoAs-
oring to find grounds on which 20
criticize the same, yet they have
found remarkably little with which
to find fault.
One of the great objects Of the re-
adjustment of the tariff is to reduce
the very high cost Of living, by plsc-
ing nearly all articles that go into the
market basket on the free list.
1t will be recalled that when Pres
ident Taft negotiated his reciprocity
treaty with Canada a few years ago
that cattle and all kinds OF live stock
were admitted free" from Canada
which brought the American Farsnsr
into competition with the Canadian
Farmer, but on the other hand, dress.
ed beef WAS not admitted free there
by protecting the great beef trust
which needed no protecting. This
present tariff bill admits dressed
beef free from every country there
by compelling the beef packers ~
compete with the beef packers Of
the world. On the other hAud the
farmer is remembered by tax Of ten
per cent on live stock of all kinda;
The bill aims to reduce the cost Of;
living by reducing the cost to the
farmer of producing his crop, and
along that line fence wire has bean
placed on the free list, and all farm
ing implements and farm machinery
have been placed on the free list.
This Is really the first tari6 bin
that has ever been written in the I'M
terest Of the whole people sInos ths
Republican party was born. It hse
been such burden that Hon. Osc3f
Underwood, chairman of the ways
and means committee, who has been
rendering his country great servic3
in this bill, has almost broken dov9
under the strain Of framing this bin;
Heretofore the Republicans hAys
been the ones to frame tariff bill, md
Mr.. Steel Trust being another heAvy,
contributor to the Republican oa1..
paign funds would be invited to cas
In and write the iron and steel schG
iule. Mr.. Sugar Truat being anOftlG
heavy contributor would come In a,ll
write the sugar schedule, and 20 sos
down the list, and the whole tariff
bill was written by and In ,tbs iQtsE.

always trying to skin the public.

Health a Factor in success

The largest factor contributing to
mans success is undoubtedly
health. 1t has been observed that q
man is seldom sick when his bowels
are regular-he is never well when
they are constipated. For constipa-
tion you will find nothing quite so
good as Chamberlain's Tablets. They
not only move the bowels but i'm
prove the appetite and strengthen
digestion. They are sold by all drug
gists.

EGYPTIAN COTTON
PROVES GREAT SUCCESS

The experimental cotton crop
of the Tucson Farms company
bids fair to average a bale and q
half an acre. It's growth compares
favorably with that in the Salt
River Valley, according to John
Nets, who went to the valley
with G. J. and Paul F. Magen-
heimer last week.
The cotton, of which there are
ten acres, ia now in blossom. The
balls have begun to form.
This is the Egyptian cotton. It
sells for from rs to 81 cents per
pound. A bale weighs 500 pounds,
so that tht company may count
on a gross return Of 5000. or 1925.
per acre.
Only two irrigations are re-
quired. It is a we'll demonstrated
fact that the Egyptian cotton
grows better in Arizona than in
Egypt. The soil and climatic con
ditions near Tncson are every
bit as fine as in Egypt.

GOVERNMENT TO START
SURVEYS SHORTLY

The United States government
is shortly to begin a thorough sur
vey of the homestead lands that
are situated within the borders
of the national forests in Arizo-
ma, in order that the state may
proceed and lawfully select lieu
lands therefor when the total
acreage Of the homesteads is
known. Frank G. w. Pooler, as
sistant forester for the third dis
trict, in which Arizona is situa-
ted, was in Phoenix recently con-
nected with that sort of work.
There are a few cases within
the state, enough probably to a.
mount to several thousand acres
of excellent farm and grazing
lands, that were occupied by
squatters and home-tenders prior
to the establishment of the ma
tional forests which cover a great
deal Of the area of the state. I'm
der the forest homestead act,
passed by the national congress,
states having such homestead
lands within the bounds of the
national forests are permitted to
select other lands from the pub
lie domain in lieu thereof, but in
order to know how much lieu
land must be selected, it is neces-
sary first to have an adequate
survey and careful calculation of
the extent of these homesteads.

CHIEF JUSTICE ON COTTON TAX.

Attention is called by the New York
Evening Post to the fate in 1892 Of a
proposed tax on cotton futures and
circumstances which bear very
obviously upon the proposal pending
now. The defeat of this earlier meas
ure was largely due to a powerful
speech against it by Senator Edward
ID. White OF Louisiana, now chief JUS
tice Of the United States.
Mr.. White contended that such a
tax would be not only wrong in
economic principle and irreconcilable
with fairness but utterly repugnant to
the constitution of the United States.
He affirmed that under the pretense
of using the taxing power to raise
revenue I'VE have breathed into this
law living lie," and declared that
our purpose is to tax for revenue,
when every line and letter of the
bill says that it is not an exercise of
the taxing power at all, but an at
tempt to destroy.
The tax was discriminatory because
il singled out certain products-tbe
case would be much stronger now, for
then futures in wheat, corn and pork
were included, whereas 1t is now pro-
posed to tax cotton futures alone. 1t
was tax upon a form of contracts
which the courts held valid. It was
readily distinguishable from the tax
on state bank notes. But Mr.. Whites
reiterated contention was the one first
noted, namely, that the measure was
a fraud on its face. 81 say" he con-
cluded, "the mission of jurisdiction is
given the courts of this land to brush
that statute away for its fragrant and
open violation of the constitution"
Mr. White, just about to go on the
supreme court bench, was recognized
as an eminent constitutional lawyer
when he made this speech. There is
no reason, but rather the contrary, to
believe that his views have changed.
Protests against this rash proposal
are becoming so strong that congress
may yet repent; if congress does not
we should expect Chief Justice White
and his associates to bring the consti-
tuition to bear.--Charlotte Observer.
