CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
FACES TARIFF DEBATE
New York Merchants Ask Local Body
to Protest Against Ger.
tain Items. -

A resolution which would have result
ed In the refusal of consideration to
tariff protests from affiliated organiza-
lions, was defeated by close vote, last
night at the New Willard, when the
Chamber of Commerce at its monthly
meeting decided to refer to the commit
tee on law and legislation a letter from
the Merchants Association of New York,
asking the support of the Washington
Chamber in an attempt to change GER
tain measures in. the new tariff law.
Secretary Grant read the letter A
number Of members rose to protest
against favorable action on the request
of the New York merchants.
Mai T. Townsend Smith was recog-
nized by President Callahan, and said
that IL the Chamber took action in tariff
matters, 1t would result in bad feeling.
c. b. Evans offered resolution that
the Chamber reply that lit is a political
question. not within the purview of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce"
The resolution followed Immediately after
suggestion that the letter be sent to
the committee on law and legislation.
Mr. Evans continued to say that the
quickest way to destroy the usefulness of
the Chamber would be to pay attention to
protests against the tariff. The protests
of the Washington Chamber. he said.
would be as the influence of a feather in
a whirlwind.
O. G. Jacob protested that to approve
the suggestion of Mr.. Evans would be a
great discourtesy to the New York mer-
chants, considering their support of
Washingtonians in behalf Of the Lincoln
memorial project.
When the resolution was put to vote
the noes" predomnated, and the letter
was referred to the committee.

Time brings its changes. Since
this paper was started we have
contended for right and justice
and a strict respect for the law.
No doubt many men have taken
oath to city Office who were not
entitled to it and who were not
aware that their oath violated the
law. They We're honest, because
they knew no better. Now the
law is known. the very fact
that the law is known may be
disappointing and even cXasper,
ating, but that has nothing to do
with the law and does not lessen
it's dignity, or show cause why it
should be ignored. In the future
we will be benefited Ivy this in
formation and our acts viii be
along the right lines.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1913-04-24

When man is in public lie, or
before the public, seeking the
Sutferage of the public, true and
correct statements as to his Of
fetal acts or his adaptability to
the Office he seeks are not per
sonal, but public matters. We
have been accused of being per,
sonal, when the fact is, we are
laboring for the public, our state
mentS are made for and 10 the

not correct, are subject to cor
rectiOn.

The old slipshod, haphazard
way of conducting Pemiscot
county's affairs has now come
to an end, and hereafter practi-
cal basis will be adopted. The
auditing of the county's books,
just reported on the 14th, is a
clear example of what we have
been saying all along-that the
various county officials and
courts should take the law as
their guide and follow it to the
letter. Any other course will,
sooner or later, lead to trouble,
no matter how well a man may
intend. The same methods have
been followed in the towns of the
county, and, especially in Hayti,
under past regimes. Here is
one stupendous example, Sl0,-
OOO.OO OF the people money was
spent to build a city hall on
ground the city did not own and
may never own, and we may lose
the full amount, with S1O.OOO.OO
interest, or S20,000.00 in all.
Just think of it, people. This is
but one of the reasons why we
fought so hard in the city cleo
tion, realizing that men who will
do such things, however good
their intentions, should not be
trusted again IN public office.
Are We right or wrong?

Perhaps if we could send few

turned. marked refused" But
unfortunately, they leave no ad

The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1913-04-24

The next city election will be
entirely different to this. The

has blazed the way, and, while
we have made sacrifices to do so,
we know that the future never
lies. Right will win over might,
and On this we stake our fortune.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1913-04-24

We demand that the law be

is still at large.
