City Engineer May Decide to Use Old
Abutments For Structure.
Engineers in the office of City
Engineer w. H. Steiner, have begun
preparing plans for the new bridge
over Linn creek in South Third ave-
nue.. 1t is quite probable that City
Engineer Steiner viii decide not to use
the plan for the bridge prepared by
the county engineer last winter, and
approved by the state highway COM
mission. The engineer is of the opin-
ion that all that needs to be rebuilt
is the superstructure and that the old
abutments can be used as they stand
with only some slight repairing. 1t
Is said they are apparently as solid
as when the masonry was put in, and
that they are of sufficient width and
afford a larger water way than the
plans prepared for an entirely new
bridge.

Why Hite's Strength is Growing


One Of the outstanding features in
the primary campaign in the Repun-
lican party Is the steady growth OF the
Hite strength for United States SEN
ator. Although his candidacy was well
received in the beginning as being
timely and promising, and withal pop
ular, few OF his friends would have
predicted that at this comparatively
early stage it would have assumed
the proportions which are now appar-
ent. But there are reasons for all
things, and there is reason why Mr..
Hite's candidacy is progressing so sat
isfactorily. In the first place, he rep
resents need of the times-a business
man in Congress whose experiences
have given him an insight into the
needs of the times and established in
his mind just balance Of sympathy
and understanding. Furthermore, Mr..
Hite is running at the instigation of no
particular faction or wing OF the party,
but has had from the beginning assur-
ances OF support from all factions, and
from every possible alignment. He is
making his campaign upon dignified
basis. free from prejudical alignments.
He is conducting his canvass for the
nomination upon the same high and
honorable plane that has characterized
his business career. He meets the
business man as man to man and the
working man as man to man. He
started out as business mans candi-
date, and as an exponent of harmony,
and he has strictly adhered to this
platform. And he is winning, as he
deserves to win under the very COM
mendable conditions OF his candidacy.

great readjustment after the war the
only way In which we can properly
safeguard our export Industries is to
mako wide extension Of this bar
gainingO principle so as to be in a po-
sition to Offer concessions in exchange
for similar favors."
One thing is certain, and that is that
no such safeguards can be applied to
our exports under the present Demo-
cratic law, for the reason that there is
nothing remaining in the law with
which to bargain. For instance, nearly
every dollars worth of goods imported
from South America enters our ports
free OF duty. What concession, there
fore. could we make to those countries
which would give US better chance
In their markets? What have we with
which to bargain? The duties exact
ed by the Underwood tariff law on
manufactured products are so low that
European countries and Japan had no
difficulty whatever. prior to the war,
In hopping over the wall and selling In
our market. What concession could
we make to them in return for similar
favors under the present law?
The truth of the matter is that the
Republican policy OF protection not
only encourages industry at home and
.proyides sufficient government rev.
Penue, but 1t makes provision for bar
gaining with other countries and ex-
tending our foreign trade along such
lines as commercial policy may dictate,
having always in mind the best inter-
ests Of our domestic producers.

Congressman Collier. Democrat, of
Mississippi, arguing for retention of

poses, declared that the tariff on farm
products is delusion and snare.
Then he proceeded to compare imports
Of farm products in 1913, with 1915. the
latter year being influenced by the
war in Europe. II he had been fair
enough to use period of time prior
to the outbreak of the war, he would
have found that imports of farm
products under the Democratic tariff
amounted to nearly $175,OO0,OOO as
compared with less than $73 900, 900 in
a corresponding period under Repub-
lican tariff rates,

Now 1t is said that Vice President
Marshall may be renominated in order
to hold Indiana in the Democratic COL

is an estimable man, but he is by no
