SOUTH PlVoTs TO PROTECTION

The Southern Tariff Congress re-
c. was told by William Burgess of
the United States Tariff Commission
that the war had eliminated the tar
if issue from politics and he urged
that it be permanently divorced, but
admonished the organization not to
advocate tariff laws which might en-
barrass other nations.
MIR. Burgess, in q sense, speaks
truly. An overwhelming Majority of
the country today is dead set against
the pre-war Democratic idea of free
trade or a tariff for revenue only
The sole advocates of that policy
today are a corporal's guard of SEN
ators and representatives in Con-
gress, whose mental processes have
become too indurated to receive new
Impressions When their rant is 81
fenced, tariff protection will no long
er be an issue, because it will be ac-
copied as automatic.
The development of the protective
sentiment in the South since the pas
sage OF the Wilson Underwood law
II. 1913 to the average man is some
what phenomenal. Twenty five years
ago an organization such as the
Southern Tariff Association, devoted
TO the policy Of protection, might
have run afoul the Ku Klux Khan or
some sort of Vigilance Committee.
But today Il man may talk protection
at the tip end OF Texas without fear
OF being inpaled on aaturnspit and
Drowned to nicely. The growth of
manufacturing Industries in the
south has had much to 90 with this
Change OF sentiment.

LIFE ON THE FARM

Life on the modern farm has
changed somewhat since the days of
the first settlers in the United States.
Maine included, according to the re-
Department of Commerce at Wash
ington in relation to the use Of mo-
tor vehicles. telephones, water and
light on farms. The figures for the
entire United States are in them
selves a good illustration OF the scale
on which farming business is done by
our people.
OF the total number of farms, 30.7
per cent, or 1,979,564, reported p
1852 automobiles in use: per
cent. or 1871 ,551 farms, had 1875
motor trucks; SO per cent, or 229, 1884
farms had 246,149 tractors; $50 per
cent, or 2,50S,O02 farms had tele-
phones; 10 per cent, or 644,0SS farms,
had water ppod into the house; and
per cent, or Assoc farms, had gas
Or electric lights.
Maine, according to the census, has
1927 farms. The above named ar
ticles were reported in use in Maine
as follows:
With 24.2 per cent. reporting, or
11,GSG farms, 1868 automobiles were
in use: with % per cent reporting,
or 1861 farms, 1920 motor trucks were
in Use: with l.3 per cent, reporting,
or COS farms. 635 tractors were in
use; 23.G33 farms reported telephones
installed. 5000 farms had water
pipcd in and 1925 had gas or electric
lights.
Maine farms were first in New Eng
land in use of the automobiles: third
in motor trucks; first in tractors;
first in telephones; a very close sec
ond in water piped in house; and an
easy second in use of gas or electric
ity.
AS was remarked modern farming
conditions in Maine differs somewhat
from those of the days of the early
settlers
