WASHINGTON LETTER

lllSJOL correspondent OF CQlS
newspaper
Washington, Jan, 22.-"We
want to get a large amount of
revenue on luXuries, so that we
can put a less tax on the neces-
sites of life"
This is to be the basis of the
tariff revision in the Sixty-third
Congress, according to Chair
man Underwood of the Demo
cratic Ways and Means Com
mittee, The above expression
is Mr.. Underwood's. He made
it directly to one of the big silk
manufacturers who was testi-
flying before his committee.
The Indications are that a
feature Of the democratic pol
icy is likely to be free dressed
and rough lumber, shingles,
laths and fence posts. The
members Of the Ways and
Means Committee, while asking
questions of witnesses, APP
peared to be in favor of that
policy.
Free meats, it is rumored,
may also be a part of the tenta-
tive tariff plan the committee
will frame to submit to the ex-
ira session.
The very air in the corridors
outside of the committee room
seems to breathe a feeling that
the democratic leaders intend to
see to it that the promises made
to the people before election
are to be religiously carried out
after election.
Why Fear Downward Revision?
High protectionists declare
even the slightest tariff revis-
ion would hurt orr huSinpsS and
lessen our exports.
"The slightest revision down.
ward would throw men out of
work." is the cry of the multi
millionaire tariff trust heads
who have been getting an ever
increasing amount Of protection
all these years while at the
same time importing foreign
ers to take the places of Amer
lean workers and paying their
workers little more than a pit
lance.
Is there anything in the argu-
ment of the rich high protec-
tionists? If they are right in
their contention that some tar
if revision would lessen our ex-
ports, one would naturally think
that Great Britain, with free
trade would have persisted long
ago.
But Great Britain is not per-
ishing. For the month of No
vember the total amount of
trade in Great Britain was
1920, 0OO, 900. The increase in
exports as compared with the
boom" figures of November,
1911, was $11,860,OOO There
is now full employment for la
Dor in that "benighted" free
trade kingdom, Even the pro-
tectionists are forced to admit
"a cycle of splendid trade and
national well-being," and that
there is no protectionist coun-
try that shows a parallel pros
perity.
There is food for reflection in
these figures. They show there
is nothing to the contention
that revision downward of the
tariff is likely to ruin business.
Honest business men of the
country realize this and have no
apprehension because of demo-
cratic ascendency.

Duluth Cash Close.

Local Quotation
Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Wheat has shown
good recuperative ability and closes
tonight 12c higher than last night s
figures for September. There has been
heavy buying of September by elevator
interests and cash grain concerns
against sales of December and May
and the difference between September
and December has narrowed to q Use.
A marked falling off in primary re-
ceipts is predicted and cash wheat
everywhere is in better demand. There
was no new export business, but for
eign advices were distinctly more fav-
orable to holders. We feel that the
cash situation will continue to show
betterment and favor purchases on all
declines.
Corn has moved within narrow limits
today, although early it made a new
high record on September and Decem-
ber, closing unchanged from last night.
Iowa and heavy rains in Illinois ex-
tending well down into the southern
part of the state has given considerable
emphasis to the selling of long corn
day have been steadily disposing of
customers holdings, especially on the
upturn. Leading longs have bought
this corn and on the decline came in
and supported the market. Much de-
pends on the weather map tomorrow
and it looks to US as If the drought
district was being gradually worn
away by these continued rains We
favor extreme caution on the buying
side, especially in view of the fact
that reaction is overdue.
Oats have been rather featureless
closing shade higher than last night
Outside interests have been very small
Believe one should await good reac-
are suggested.

STUDY WRITINGS
OF AMBASSADORIAL
CANDIDATES NON

Washington, Aug. IL. Senator
shively of Indiana is sitting up at
night reading the complete works of
Prof. Paul S. Reinsch of the Uniyer-
sity of Wisconsin, whom President
wilson has appointed minister to
China.
Today he will tell the foreign rela-
tons committee of the senate what
Dr. Reinsch has written concerning
CHINA. the orient, and other topics
With this information in hand the
committee will know whether the
nomination of DIR. Reinsch should be
confirmed. The senate democrats are
taking no more chances on literary
diplomats since they confirmed the ap-
pointment Of Walter Hines Page as
ambassador to Great Britain before
reading his writings.
After Mr.. Page had gone to London
1T was discovered that he is the author
Of The Southerner'', novel in which
the marriage Of white man to a
mulatto is an incident and in which
some extremely frank criticisms of the
United Confederate veterans and the
daughters of the Confederacy are ut
tered
Southern senators said Page never
would have been confirmed had thew
been familiar with this novel.

The years 1911 and 1912 show a fall
ing off in the office receipts. The lat
ter did not keep us with the procession
Of the several years previous. The
difference was caused by the PUSSY
foot Johnson campaign against the
selling of Intoxicating liquors in the
so-called Indian territory, all Of which
is familiar During this period
the wholesale liquor dealers curtailed
very considerably their advertising
through the mails hence the reduc-
ton Of the receipts in the Moorhead
office, but it only amounted to several
hundred dollars each Of the two years.
The increase in the receipts in the
Moorhead office for the period Of 1908
to 1918 inclusive, was $11,69S.59- For
the same period at Fergus Falls, to
use just one comparison, the increase
was S11,723, just $50 more than the
showing Of the Moorhead Office.
The free delivery system was in
augurated in the Moorhead Office May
1, 1905.
The increase in the office forces in
Moorhead for the period named, shows
that in 1903 the force consisted of a
postmaster an assistant and one clerk.
The following year two clerks We're
added. For the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1905, the force was made up
of the postmaster, assistant, three
clerks and three city carriers. The
present force consists Of postmaster
assistant, four clerks, four carriers and
two rural carriers.
The yearly increases in Moorhead
have been steady and slow-there has
been an entire absence of leaps and
bounds. From 1903 to 1908, six years,
the total increase was $5,9S0.25, and
from 1909 to 1913 inclusive, the total
increase was $4,164.17.

DERRICK BROKE;
FATAL INJURY

Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. IA
the first serious accident that mas
marred the progress Of the work on
the new Masonic temple on Bruce
avenue and Fifth street, occurred yes
terday afternoon at about $3.50 O'CLOCK,
when the boom derrick, operated by
hand Windlass with cable attached,
suddenly broke in Two midway up It's
length and the broken end was driven
against the chest Of William keryett,
aged 25 years and engaged IN oper-
ating the .windlass, crushing it in like
an eggShell.
He was picked up unconscious and
carried to the Deaconess hospital, but
short distance away, and meulcal
assistance hastily summoned. An ex-
animation developed that four ribs
had been broken by the impact OF the
heavy timber, splinters Of the bone
being driven into the unfortunate
lungs and causing internal hem
orrhages. which it is thought must
prove fatal.
1t was near the close Of the days
work when Kervett met with the acci-
dent which will probably cause ms
death. A stone weighing about 5000
! pounds, had been raised and he was
operating the W1ndlaSS as ~ swung
slowly towards it's place on the outer
works of the structure. Suddenly and
| without warning, the supposedly
strong arm Of the derrick snapped
| like a pipestem, the stone went
crashing into the basement of the
building and Kervett. struck a terrible
| blow by one end of the broken beam
as it was forced back like a catapult
L lay senseless on the ground.
Fellow workmen ran to the Murphy
livery across the street and securing
stretcher tenderly placed the unfor-
tunate upon it and bore him to the
Deaconess hospital.
He never regained consciousness
land was kept under the influence OF
opiates, being in great pain.
Kervett came here last spring from
Sauk Center, Mimi, and has been en-
gagged in building work since. He is
a single man and in addition to the
two relatives in this city, has others
at his old home in the Minnesota
town who have been notified Of the
Iaccident.

NEWSPAPER men
we're The GUESTS

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Chicago women
voters blossomed out yesterday as
stump speakers before an audience of
reporters. For several weeks they
have been holding classes In public
speaking at the headquarters of the
woman's party, but no outsider has
been permitted in the room.
A group of newspaper men who had
been refused admission to former
classes were gathered outside the
party headquarters yesterday when
Mrs. Charlotte Rhodus. president of
the organization invited them in.
Come right in, she beaned, .tthe
women. need practice and they might
as well start in on you. I guess
everybody, concerned can stand the
ordeal"
She hustled the half dozen reporters
into the small hall where they did
not make much of showing among
| the tiers of unoccupied seats.
II wish there were more goats for
| these maiden speeches but i guess
| you'll have to do for the present" said
! the president as she led the first
| speaker to the platform.
/ A dozen women made short talks OH
| various political subjects. Each ap-
! peared nervous at the start but gain
/ ed confidence as she became enthus-
| iastic about her theme and finished
with the delivery Of a veteran.
| The women who graduated from the
| class yesterday will be used to organ
| ize and arouse interest in the wards
and second class of beginners will
| start in next week Al s
