New Orleans, La.-Agreeing that
protection for Southern industry has
become a necessity and that tariff
for protection must become nation
al policy, nonpolitical, the Southern
Tariff Congress was permanently or
ganized Tuesday by the election Of
John H. Kirby of Houston, Texas, its
first president. Other officers elected
were: Arthur J. Draper, Charlotte,
vice president; John T. Scott, Hous-
ton, treasurer; J. A. Finold, Fort

Fort Worth, publicity director. An
executive committee is to meet soon
to select its next meeting place. Head
quarters will be in Washington.
The organization committee decid-
ed that any person, firm or corporation
is eligible to membership on payment
of dues of 500 year. Any organized
industry is admissible If it has a men,
bership of ten or more. Chambers of
commerce and agricultural organiza-
lions may become members without
payment of membership dues.
Congress will be asked to place an
adequate tariff on vegetable oils from
the Orient. If this is not done, 1t is
claimed the price Of cotton seed and
peanuts will remain below what the
congress asserts is the cost Of pro-
duction. This condition affects every

err, the seller does not tell the buyer
the horse will haul two tons in the
country.
The farmer knows his conditions
and what he can expect.
In view of the fact that farmers
are using an ever increasing number
of motortrucks, it is interesting to
note what leading transportation au-
thority recently said about doing
this with trucks, that is, calling them
two, three, four ETC., ton trucks.
obviously 1t is as illogical for a
motortruck manufacturer to label his
truck twoton hauler as 1t would be
for a horse dealer to say how much
horse would haul. Clearly in either
case the load which may be transport
ed depends almost entirely upon cOndi-
tons. For this reason leading manu-
facturers have abolished the ton rat
ing method and are fitting the trucks
to the job. A transportation engineer
goes over the hauler's conditions thor
oughly. All his difficulties and ad-
vantages are carefully considered, and
the proper size unit prescribed. Thus,
a truck formerly rated at two tons
may be used for a four-ton load in the
city, while In an unusually bad sec
ton OF the country a unit with larger
rated horse power capacity may be
necessary, If the owner is to prevent
wasteful depreciation"
In other words. manufacturers are
taking advantage Of the experience
gained in horse hauling. They real
lie 1t takes "ten horses on loose gravel
and one on concrete" They are sell
ing their transportation accordingly.

POLES and SOVIETS
AGREE ON ARMISTICE
Hostilities to Cease at Mid
night on October lS.
Wrangle Not Included.

Riga preliminary peace treaty
and armistice was signed by the Pol
ish and Russian soviet peace delegates
at Riga at 7:10 o'clock Thursday
night.
The armistice becoming effective at
midnight October Is. Announcement
that peace was to be signed brought
crowds to the square surrounding the
Black Head House. M. Joffe and the
bolshevik delegation entered first, and
were followed by M. Dombski and the
Polish delegation. About two hum
dred persons crowded into the small
room.
Tired by more than five days and
nights of almost constant work, M.
Joffe looked pale, but his voice show
ed no nervousness when he announced
the treaty had been completed and be-
gan reading the Russian text
The head of the soviet delegation
described the peace as "a peace with
out victory and without vanquished'
in an address before the signature or
the treaty. That describes the Riga
agreement accurately as 1t appeared
to onlookers 1t was peace of give
and take, which many fear will not be
very popular either with the bolshevi-
XII or the Poles.
The Riga armistice will put the
bolsheviki at peace with all their Bait
ic neighbors leaving the Wrangel
movement as the only great military
operation against the soviet.
M. Joffe called attention to the
many difficulties encountered In ar
ranging the armistice and also to the
harmonious manner in which the dele
cations carried out the negotiations.
He also expressed the belief that the
foundation has been laid for a per.
manent peace.
