Rates to Southern Railway Stations

Responding to the request OF the
traffic bureau. the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac railroad, in
May, 1919, established rates between

TARIFFWON'THURT
Kansas Cattlemen Can't See
Trouble in Free Importation.
New Bill VIII Increase Demand
Won't Damage Kansans.

Tribune. Kan, July 22.-Far
sighted cattlemens in this section of
the state are waging a heated cam
palgn against the scare most cattle
men are suffering over the tariff
question. They urge that people are
pound to eat meat, that a slight re-
auction in price would increase con-
sumption, thereby strengthening the
market and that the present visible
supply of cattle is 40 per cent below
the normal demand.
They urge that if cattle from
United States ranges have heretofore
been able to compete with South
American herds on the markets of
the world they will continue to do
so successfully should the tariff be
lowered. 1t Is also pointed out that
the possibility of nonresident land
owners fencing their holdings in this
section is worthy of far more serious
consideration than the tariff matter.
The older and more conservative
cattlemen are of the belief that as
long as the ranges are left unfenced
and cattlemen can feed their herds
on buffalo grass half the year with
out cost there is little reason for any
one to get scared about the reduction
In tariff. Before these views were
advanced many cattlemen were dis
posing OF their herds at low figures.
Sacrifice sales have now practically
stopped.
