dinary earthenware, which was al
ready relatively low. being subject
to an average duty of 24.67 per cent,
has now been cut to is per cent,
while window glass has been given an
average reduction on all glasses of
from 1888 per cent. to 1881 per cent.
Plate glass, which may be considered
a luxury, still retains duty OF nearly
40 per cent, the average being 3s.45
per cent. in place of the duty Of 63.95
per cent In the law.
Pig Iron and Forslnss Hit.
"Pig iron and slabs, which were
1876 per cent. and 1919 per cent.
have been cut to 8 per cent. In each
case; beams. from 1920 per cent. to 10
per cent. and forgings from 80 per
cent. to Is per cent. On the other
hand, bicycles, much more highly
manufactured product, are dutiable at
rs per cent. as against As per cent,
and razors at IS per cent. as against
77.6S per cent
"The idea of the large extension OF
the free list for the manufactured
products has been the fundamental
conception, while the effort has been
made to improve the status of the
manufactured lumber. Thus, sawed
boards, other than cabinet wood, have
been carried to the free list, while
sawed cabinet woods, which were
1915 per cent. in 1912. are now 10 per
cent: casks. barrels. etc. which were
80 per cent, are now 14.77 per cent.
and house furniture, which was IS per
cent. is now is per cent.
Tobacco and spirits have been
found to be good producers of revenue
and have, therefore, been left at the
same rates as in the present law.
Would Reduce Cost Of Living.
''In the effort to relieve the consum-
er and to mitigate the high and rising
cost OF living, schedule g. which deals
with agricultural products, has been
thoroughly revised and important re-
ductions have been made. For In
stance, the duty on horses has been,
reduced from rs per cent. to 10 per
cent. cattle from 25.07 per cent. to III
per cent. sheep from 16.41 per cent.
to 10 per cent, barley from 4305 per
cent. to 23.07 per cent. macaroni
from 34.25 per cent. to 23.s1 per cent,
hay from 1921 per cent to 26.67 per
cent, fruits from 27.21 per cent. to
1888 per cent, figs from 51.53 per cent.
to 42.10 per cent. lemons from 6s.85
per cent. to 24.03 per cent, live poul-
try from 1910 per cent. to 6.67 per
cent, and vinegar from s3.03 per cent
to 1873 per cent. Other changes are
in proportion. and the general effect
has been to reduce in very material

COTTON IS UP $40 A BALE
GEORGIA BIG WINNER AS STAPLE
MOUNTS INTO HIGH GROUND.
Estimated That State Will Be $780,
100000 Richer as Result of the
Climb. Bulls in Command.

NEW YORK.-Cotton broke
through into new high ground again
during today's short session of the
exchange.
September, which is about to ex-
pire, closed at 14.16 and October
closed at 14.05. These are the high
est prices since 1910.
This represented an advance of 10
points over Fridays close for Sep
TENDER and of II points for October.
Other months followed.
For the movement the advance
has been from SO to $40 a bale.
Georgia Wins Big Sum.
Georgia, heading the southeastern
states, stands to win $25, 100000 by
$40 advance in the price of mid
ding cotton since September l. The
bulge is caused by crop damage in
the Western and Central belts. The
Eastern crop is good, and these states
are due to reap immense profits on
large yields and high prices.
When the market closed Septem-
Der 1 September options stood at
1917 and October options at 1927.
Next day the governments sensa-
tional condition report was issued,
and the market responded to the
unfavorable tidings from the fields
with a 70-point advance.
Bulls in Command.
The bulls have been in command
ever since, and September, during
the time it has been the spot month,
has advanced 1919 points; October,
IFS points. Each point represents 5
cents a bale.
The inherent strength of cotton
values with news from the Western
belt uniformly discouraging, has
been realized by the trade for some
time, but the fear of legislation by
congress, which would wipe out flu
lures trading, prevented any attempt
at bull campaign and kept business
at low level.

NEW YORK. hear that a
bombshell is going to be exploded by
the United States Steel Corporation
by and by, and that the regulations
of certain very prominent Washing
ton gentlemen will be shattered.
The story has been whispered in
bankers and brokers quarters for
some time, and | understand it is
true.
Judge Gary would not discuss the
subject yesterday. He has all along
taken the view that as his corpora
ton is under prosecution his lips are
sealed.
From other sources, however, it
was learned very definitely that de-
tailed information has been gathered
concerning the operations of certain
Legislators who took leading part
in instituting the government suit
against the United States Steel Cor
poration.
When the time comes in court for
the steel people to present their side
it is expected that the bombshell will
be exploded
The disclosures, it is believed, will
be on lines similar to those made re-

BIG MONEY FOR BALL MEN
THE MAGNATES HAVE PAID OUT
THOUSANDS FOR PLAYERS.
Some of the Big Sums That Have
Been Given Up to Secure the
Stars of the Diamond.


A base ball statistician has COM
piled figures to show that over $144,-
OOe has been spent by major league
clubs for a dozen players in the past
few years. This is a lot of money,
even in these days of base ball pros
perity. 1t doesn't seem so very long
ago when the sporting world was
knocked agog with the announce
ment that $4,000 was paid for Jou-
ct Meekin and Duke Farrell by the
New York club. And the $40, 900
paid for the famous Mike Kelly was
thought to be a figure that would
never in all the world be ap-
preached.
But big figures seem to talk these
days The rising market for big
priced ball players, or the lottery, as
it might be called, started when John
]. McGraw paid $1,000 for RUDE
Marquard. For two years RUDE was
worth just about II cents a dozen.
He didn't do a thing to add to his
fame of being the highest priced
player of his generation. But he
came around and has lived up to his
price ever since. 1t was mighty lucky
for him that he had such a patient
boss as McGraw. If he hadn't he
would probably be laboring out in
the bushes now.
Then along came Barney Dreyfuss
with his $4,000 beauty, Marty
O'Toole, and his $1,000 catcher, Bill
Kelly. O'Toole's price remains a
record breaker. The nearest APP
proach to it was when Charles CO.
miskey of the Chicago White Sox
was reported to have paid $4,000
for outfielder Chappell. Other big
prices were marked during the year,
including $4,000 the Giants were
supposed to have paid for RUDE
Schauer, $4,000 the Yankees gave
for Marty McHale, and the $4,000
the same club paid for third base
H>en Fritz Maisel.
In these transactions, or in the
majority of them, there has been
more or less work of the imaginary
kind. There always has been. The
club getting the young star very
probably handed over players who
were figured as so much cash and
then some real, sure-enough money
in the bargain.

comes this year they will be able to
report to the income tax collector
next spring exactly how much they
owe the government under the new

So far as the taxable American is

While the tariff bill in which the law
is embodied will not be signed until
next week the first returns do not

nue. collectors before March l, 1914.
But when the returns are made they
will cover the income of citizens from
March 1, 1913, to December 81, and
the first payment of tax will be for
money received during this period.
Every single person (citizen or for

exceeds $4,000 and every married
person with an income above 1900
is expected to report his or her re
ceipts in detail to the government
agents March l of each year.

Commission Appointed Under ResO-

ATLANTA.-The legislative com
mission appointed to investigate the
prices at which text books for use in
the public schools of Georgia are sold
to the people in beginning its labors
at the state capitol is apparently ig-
noring the state board of education.
The commission proceeded with it's
labors today without regarding the
fact that the board has called for
bids for books on October %.
1t is said some members of the
commission are rather put out over
the action of the board in calling for
bids for new books, as they believe
that action will prove prejudiGial to
the investigation which they are call
ed upon to make and upon which
they must report to the legislature
next summer.
There was lively tilt in the meet
ing of the commission today when
Chairman c. L. McCrory of the house
committee offered in evidence some
books and prices from Kansas and
from Ontario, Canada. Senator B. S.
Miller objected to the Introduction of
such evidence unless it is certified
and sworn to. Mr. McCrory insisted
and warm words followed. The mat
ter was finally placed with the stem
ographer, but Senator Miller went on
record as opposed to the accumula-
ton of evidence of this kind.
The commission finally closed the
doors and went into executive ses-
skon. At adjournment the situation
looked normal. 1t was announced
that a committee had been appointed
to secure under seal from every state
in the union and Canada a list Of

TAKE NOTICE. GEORGIA FARMER
Blue Jays and Partridges Help to
Check the Boil Weevil.

The birds are COMING TO the aid Of
the Mississippi farmers in their war
against the boil weevil. 1t has been
proved that quail eat boil weevils and
so do guineas. 4 farmer near Car
rollton, Miss, saw number of blue
Jays darling back and forth between
his cotton patch and some oaks in his
lawn. This aroused his curiosity
and he killed one of the jays and
found eighteen boil weevils in its
crop. The growing of guineas and
( the protection of the quail and other
birds would seem, therefore, to be
one way in which the boil weevil
can be fought. If Georgia farmers
will see to it that the game laws are
strictly observed they will be repaid
when the boil weevil makes its ap-
pearance by the assistance of the
quail in fighting it.-Savannah News.
