FARMER TARIFF \
BILL REPORTED
BY COMMITTEE
Early Actions Is Asked on Ford
ner Emergency Measure to j.
Aid Farmer
TWO CHANGES ARE MADE
Committee Adds Lemons to List
and Places an Import Duty
on Them
TWO CHANGES ARE MADE

Washington, Dec 20.--Thc house
ways and means committee today vOt-
ed to report to the house the Ford
ney emergency tariff bill designed to
protect the farmer ana instructed
Chairman Fordney to make all efforts
possible to obtain action on it be-
fore the Christmas recess.
In finally adopting the bill the COM
nittee made two changes. Lemons
were added to the list and an import
duty Of / p cents per pound establish
ed. The rate on peanut oil was in
creased from 20 to &c cents.
Action by the conference of men,
bers from the agricultural districts
came only after spirited discussion
during which there were charges that
the house ways and means commit
tee had drafted makeshift bill and
that certain commodities had been in
cluded or omitted from the high tariff
list as a sop" for different classes
OF voters.
Young'S Explanation
Representative Young, Republican,
North Dakota, a member of the ways
and means committee, who was chair
man of the conference committee
which drafted the bill, saw no hope
for Favorable action by the ways and
means committee on the recommended
tons of the conference.
He urged members to bide thei,'
time and to drive for protection for
the articles when a permanent tariff
was taken up.
Some members of the conference
were not satisfied, however, and
threatened to carry their fight to the
house if the ways and means COM
mittee did not act favorably on the
report.
Rep. Young said members of the
ways and means committee from the
eastern states had stood out against
a tariff on lamb and mutton and that
they were prevailed upon finally to
include these articles under the argu~
ment that they could explain to their
constituents that frozen meats were
not forced to come in under duty.
He said the feeling was that failure
to- place a duty on frozen and ref
rigerated meat would keep down to
some extent at least an increase in the
cost of living.

The fair weather throughout the first part of the week has been the cause of much building and construc- tion work being done which has been held up on account of the weeks and weeks of rainy weather.
 Electric shops and supply houses re- port good business for the week, and many of the leading small industries and manufacturing plants report that the demand for their made in Bir- mingham" articles is far greater than the supply.
 Retail srocers of the city report an unusually steady trade that seems to show no signs of stacking up during the hot summer months. Many of the grocery merchants report that the sale of all kinds of meat has somewhat fallen off. but the buying of vegeta- oles and all kinds of fruit has more than taken its place.
 Lumber dealers report that the price of lumber has decreased from 20 to 30 per cent. and it is believed that due to the cheaper price in lumber at the present time that the Own Your Home movement will take a brisk step/ forward.
 Many years of business experience has taught local merchants to expect lull in business during the hot sum- mer months. But this summer seems to be an exception to the rule, for all of the downtown merchants are en- toying good business as usual" and in some instances unusually large sales have been made.

Dents Repair Shop
 Makes Many Customers

Carrying a complete and large sup ply of automobile parts that are hard to secure these days the William H. r Dent auto repair shop. ITS North Sec ond avenue. is also rapidly coming to the front as one of the most efficient auto repair shops in the city.
 William, E. Dent, manaeer of the re pair shcp, is proud of his staff of ex rert F rechanics. Dozens of car owners have left their cars at the shop for the most difficult work to be done. yet when they received their cars again they were more than pleased and became steady patrons of the shop from that day on.
 There is bound to be a reason. One of the main reasons is because tho shop is not located along automobile row. It is out of the high rent dis trict and overhead expenses are not so great.
 But perhaps the main reason of the , 'once customer. always a customer rule is because of the high grade work that is done at the shop and the fact that the mechanics at the shop always take much interest in their work, thus making the motorist feel that his patronage is appreciated.

Service That Is
 Really Service"

Service that is really service' is the motto of the Higdon Auto Bat tery Company, 2201 South Avenue A.
 The real service of the 1,.rdon Auto Battery Company is well known to many of the motor car owners of this district. They have sold hundreds of their famous batteries, which are guar. anteed for two years of life of good service.
 Their famous battery is also guar anteed to save the automobile owner at least per cent in it's upkeep and is rapidly becoming known as one of the cheapest batteries to keep in per- feet operation that is on the market today.
 But with the sale of the battery the interest of the Higdon Auto Battery Company does not stop. Their effl- cient corps of experts vii make a test of your battery as often as twice a week. They keep it filled with water and tell you when the battery needs new plates or is in need of recharg- ing.

Tax-Exempt Securities
and Their Evils

I have always favored the graduated
income tax and the payment Of as large
a part OF the war debt from this source
as is reasonably possible. 1 believe that
wealth should bear its full share OF the
burdens Of taxation. So long as states
and municipalities can issue practically
unlimited amounts Of bonds freed from
all federal, state and municipal taxes the
wealth of the country has a safe refuge
because it can be invested in these tax
securities and thereby escape a large
part of the burdens of government. I'm
til our constitutions are amended or our
policy is changed these tax escapes will
continue to be available AS to tax ex-
empt bonds already issued, OF course no
change can or should be made, but we
may well consider our future policy. We
can not go on indefinitely creating a
great tax exempt class OF wealthy
people, thereby throwing more and more
upon the less fortunate masses OF the
people the burdens of taxation. In de-
termining taxation we should use our
utmost intelligence to find the line which
will encourage as few Investments as pos
sible in tax exempt securities, preserve
initiative and keep open the opportuni-
ties for developing those enterprises
which are essential to the progress OF
