TARIFF REVISION
MUST COME SOON,
SMOOT WARNING
Senator Fears L. S. Markets
Will Be Held by For
eigners

Washington, Dec. .17.-An early
revision of the tariff was predicted
yesterday by Senator Smoot, of Utah,
during the debate on the pending
revenue bill. Either a tariff revision
must be made, he declared, or the
American markets will be controlled
by foreigners.
Changed conditions as a result of
the war and the necessities of safe
guarding the native industries dur
ing the reconstruction period, Sena-
tor Smoot contended to make i'm
perative a revision of the Under
wood Simmons tariff law.
Senator Jones, of New Mexico,
asked if it was expected to substi-
tute the Payne-Aldrich law for the
Underwood-S Simmons act.
1T would be a godsend to the
country, as compared with the one
now on the statute books" Senator
Smooth replied. yet l will say there
are rates in the Payne-Aldrich law
that will never be enacted again."
An inquiry was made by Senator
Simmons as TO whether il was
thought tariff legislation should be
enacted during the expected extra
session early in 1919.

Now. Doctor, when you wish to pre-
scribe n true tonic, strength and blood

try the same kind of iron - NuXated

Ownership of Systems Char
acterized by Postmaster
General as Imperative


Washington, Dec. 17.-Ownership
by the government of the telegraph
and telephone systems of the nation
was characterized as imperative"
by Postmaster General Burleson
yesterday in a letter to Representa-
tive Moon, chairman of the House
committee on post offices and post
roads. Mr.. Burleson said the system
can be acquired without the ap-
preparation of q dollar from the
public treasury" by applying to an
amortization fund for twenty-five
years the savings made under gov
ernment ownership through elimi-
nation Of Implications in plants and
operating expenses.
In support of the government
ownership resolution introduced in
the House last week by Represen-
tative Moon, the Postmaster Cen
eral quoted from the recent letter
of Theodore N. Vail, president of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, and from the an
nual reports of n number of the
postmaster generals since the Civil
War, all of whom agreed, he said,
that government control or owner
ship would greatly contribute to the
efficiency of service.
AS Justification for the permanent
taking over NJ the wire systems, Mr..
Burleson said:
ITO establish and maintain means
of communication is as much the
function of the government as is the
provision for national defense.
Moreover, it is essential to
the development of the country and
to the progress and prosperity of it's
people. 1t is defense of the national
interests as much in peace as in war.
Extension of the wire SER
vice should he determined by public
needs, not the opportunity for pri-

FEDERATION OF
MOTOR OWNERS
FLAYS BUREAU
Secretary Wolff Asks Auto
mobilists Not to Pay
Dollar Fee

The Chiefs of Police Associations
bureau for the recovery of stolen
automobiles, with headquarters in
Harrisburg, was scored in COM
munication sent by Paul C. Wolff,
secretary. of the Pennsylvania Motor
Federation, to the secretaries of all
motorists associations throughout
the state, urging them against pay
ing the fees of the proposed bureau.
The secretaries have been asked
to send copies of the communication
to all their members. j. Clyde My
ton, secretary of the Motor Club, of
Harrisburg, has directed the send
ing of the copies to the members of
the local club.
The letter follows:
"A communication is being sent
out to motor car owners by the
Chiefs of Police Association with
headquarters at Harrisburg, advis-
ing them that their organization
proposed to endeavor to recover
stolen cars for their subscribers, the
fee being 81 for each car register
ed with them.
The federation does not feel that
this is a project that should be
encouraged. The men composing
this organization seem to be regu-
lar police officials and it would seem
that the public are entitled to their
best services without the payment
of any special fee.
IF we succeed in having passed
at the coming session of the Legis-
lature a new motor vehicle law we
now have in preparation, it should
go a long ways toward checking the
traffic in stolen motor vehicles.
ut was suggested that you inn
mediately bring this matter to the
attention of your members"
