should never forget that the greatest
prosperity which they ever enjoyed
was under Democratic administra-
ton headed by that great statesman
and patriot, Woodrow Wilson, and
that the law under which this prosper
ity came was low-tariff Democratic
law drawn by an iliustrious statesman
of the South, Oscar Underwood.
"The Republican party has realized
that it can not make good its false
promises, and now falls back into the
arms of its faithful ally. the protected
selfish manufacturing interests. with
the hope that millions of dollars in the
next campaign will again give them
success at the polls"

able that the promise of tax reduction
made so freely by Mr.. Harding and
other Republican spokesman in the last
campaign will apply only to persons
whose incomes are in the millions OF
whose profits are so much in excess
of normal as to be monopoIistic. Other
probabilities are an automobile fiat
tax of ten dollars, three-cent letter
postage and heavily increased taxes on
tobacco. The one certainty of the bill
is that the average man will pay more
and the favored few will pay less.

ed over, he says, by temporary loans,
and be taken care of next year. He
thinks, too that this would prevent
demands for funds from the depart
ments and hold Congress down in ap-
preparations.
In other words, to make a show of
economy now he would postpone for a
year the collection of the revenue he
knows is needed, piling up an indebted
ness and borrowing money to pay it.

this will fool lot of people.

1t would be idle to discuss the Tax

general trend of effort to shift some

Financial Panics Under Republican
Tariffs

Financial Panics Under Republican
Tariffs
While under discussion in the House
the Fordney Tariff bill was literally
riddled by Democratic members. One
of the most effective speeches made
against it was by Representative
James C. Cantril (Dem, Ky.) who
contrasted not only the tariff policies
of the two parties, but also the re-
suits of their respective tariff acts
The following are striking extracts
from his eloquent address:
at has always been the cry of the
Republican party during political
campaigns that the great financial
panics of the country came under low
tariff Democratic bills. The reverse is
true, and the impartial reading of the
history of our country will prove that
the greatest financial panics came I'M
der high-tariff laws.
The great panics of 1873 and 1893
came on the country when Republican
tariff bills were the law of the land.
Our Republican friends do not in any
political campaign fail to misrepre-
sent the facts if they think that by
so doing they can gain political vic
tories. The last presidential campaign
is the most open evidence of this
statement in our political history. In
closing this statement wish to en-
phasize further the fundamental diff
ference between the Democratic and
Republican parties on the tariff is
sues"
"The Democratic party believes in
tariff for the people, while the Re-
publican party believes in tariff for
capital only.
"The Democratic party lays a tariff
burden justly and equitably distrihu-
ted and falling lightly on the should
ers of the people, while the Republi-
can party lays burden of taxation
heavily on the shoulders of labor and
agriculture and gives the bounty so
raised into the pockets of the favored
manufacturer.

tons of home monopolie5 and trusts,
while the Republican tariff laws Of

"The Democratic policy on the tar

POTATOES PROVE PROFITABLE

Potatoes this year in Brookings
county are conceded to be by far the
most profitable Of any crop raised this
season. Although the dry weather
lowered the yield in many fields the
total potato crop of Brookings will
equal that of last year due to an in
creased acreage. Potato digging is
now in full swing with ideal weather
conditions prevailing.
The bulk Of the potato crop this year
will be" marketed through the State
Cooperative Potato Exchange, organs
lied by the potato growers last spring.
The local potato association has placed
j. D. Wilson of Brookings, in charge
of the grading and loading of the po-
tatoes. Mr.. Wilson is something of
an expert in potato handling and has
originated many devices that save time
and labor. Anyone interested in up-to-
date and efficient methods OF handling
potatoes in large quantities will be well
repaid to visit the scene of activities
near the Farmers Cooperative Co. and
watch a car being loaded with pota-
toes. Brookings growers are now en-
abled to supply the trade with car lots
either in bulk or sacked in record time.

ARLINGTON STORE LOOTED

Forcing their entry into the Bonde
department store at Arlington Tues
day evening, thieves made away with
$4,000 worth Of merchandise, prac-
tically all Of which was clothing. This
is the largest burglary in this section
for many years. No clue has been
found of the robbers, but it is certain
that they were from out of town.
They came equipped with canvas
sacks, with which to convey the booty,
and the general impression is that
they yer equipped with a truck or
several automobiles. Fifty suits, 25
o%vercoats, two long counters of dress
es and suits, a number of ladies' fur
coats, and several shelves of silks
were included in the stolen goods. En-
trance was made through the grocery
department, by breaking the glass in
the door. 1t is believed that the rob-
berry was committed about 100 o'clock
in the morning. The loss was not dis
covered until the clerks came tc work
in the morning.

TO CONSOLIDATE
RAILROAD LINES
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS.
SION PROPOSES TO CUT
DOWN WASTE
LOWER FREIGHT RATES WILL RESULT
Commission Believes Consolidation
Will Bring About Betterment
Of Transportation.

Reductions in railroad rates and a
general rehabilitation OF the transpor-
tation lines of the country would result
from the consolidation of the railroad
systems tentatively proposed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, ex.
perts of the commission believe. A
huge saving in the operating expenses
of many roads can be made by such
a plan, commission officials believe.
Bankruptcy which continually threat
ems some small lines could be averted
in this manner
Congress, realizing the Importance
to the country of consolidation, made
provision in the Esch-C ummins law for
such action, leaving it to the discre-
ton Of the commission. Some high
officials of the commission are known
to hold the opinion that only by such
action can railroad rates be cut to the
pre-war level within the next three
years.
The commissions plan follows close
ly the recommendations made by Pro-
fessor William 2. Ripley OF Harvard
university, expert economist who
studied the plan for the commission.
Hearings on the grouping Of the car
riers as proposed by the commission
into nineteen systems will be held in
the near future. All of the railroads
concerned, state commissioners and
other parties of interest were put on
public notice today of the commissions
proposals for consultations and they
will be heard.
