The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1921-01-15

Washington, Jan. 15.-The Senate
yesterday passed a resolution direct
ing the secretary of war to cease re-
cruiting until the size of the regular
army is reduced to 10000. This ac-
tion was taken against the protest of
a majority of the military committee
The committee recommended an army
of 10000. General Pershing and
Secretary Baker had just recently de-
cided that the military strength of
the country should not be reduced be-
low 100000.
The resolution goes to the House
where its passage is regarded as al
most certain. Dhat means a reduction
of $4,000 men in the size of the army
as it has existed for several years.
Ten amendments were tackled to
the Fordney tariff bill by the senate
finance committee and reported out.
The scope of the measure is material
ly broadened by the amendments. An
amendment offered by McCumber, of
North Dakota, fixes the tariff on wheat
at 40 cents bushel. Dairy products
are added to the list of protected
products by Senator Calder's amend
ment which places a tariff of cents
pound ON butter, cheese and their
substitutes, and two and five cents
respectively on fresh milk and cream
It. is intimated that there will be a
revival of the Dingley or Payne-Al-
drich tariff bill when the new house
gets busy with tariff reform.

Canada After
Immigrants
U.S.Rejects

Montreal, Aug. 5.-Three thous
and people, VINO mad planned to
emigrate to the United States, are
stranded in Antwerp, according TO
cable advices, because of the new
u. S. Restriction act. Most OF them
are Poles. A steamer that sailed
recently was scheduled to carry
$50, but sailed with only 25O.
Steamers refuse to carry more than
the monthly quota allowed by Am
erican law. They would be com
PEELED to return the surplus to
Europe at the companies expense.
Al suggestion has been made
here that the steamers bring these
people to Canada, dropping them
en- route to New York at st. John s
or Quebeck, Canada. who would
welcome the settlers the United
States repects. Millions of acres
remain unsettled in Western Can
ada. Here the Europeans would
find welcome and homes. Canada )
greatest need is population and its
greatest asset land. The country Is
making a bid for agricultural set
tiers.
The United States Restriction
act is bound to prove an immense
benefit to Canada" said Colonel
j. S. Denins of the Canadian Pa
cific railway, one Of Canada's fore
most authorities on immigration
and colonization. "The new law
has created a wonderful opportun-
ity for Canada. People who now
desire to leave European countries
are a better type than the usual
immigrants. They are substantial
farm people. If it were not for the
disturbed conditions in Europe
they would not think of leaving
their native land. Large numbers
Of these home builders, barred out
of the United States, are turning
to Canada. We expect heavy settle
ment in the Western provinces in
the next year"

1921 State
Fair To Be
Finest Yet
Largest Gathering of
Pioneers In History
State Promised Dis
plays to Break ALI
Records

This year will mark the sixtieth
anniversary of the Oregon state
fair, fact that will have much to
do in influencing the program for
the week of September 26 to 0cto-
ber /. The historic old camp
ground will be the meeting place
for one of the largest gatherings
Of pioneers in the history of the
annual event, is the anticipation of
state fair officials. Men and wom-
en- who aided in making Oregon
history will come from all over
the state for this, their most i'm
portant Homecoming in many
years. There are few still living
who witnessed the original pro-
gram, but there are a number OF
children of those who did, who re-
member stories told them of the
efforts that went to make the
state fair the large and important
event 1t now is and they will be
here to re-tell them.
First State Fair.
In his memoirs, recently pub
lished, the late Cyrus II. Walker,
who passed on at his home in AL
bany recently, said in part con
cerning the first state fair: 1.-THE
most interesting events that trans
pired were the trotting against
time, three heats, of Paul Jones,
owned by Sherlock and Bacon OF
Portland, and the ladies' contest
for the best equestrianship, for
which the prize was a $25 side
saddle, and was won by Miss Belle
Case of Polk county. The farm on
which the fair was held belonged
to Major Rinearson of the First
Oregon cavalry, is my recollection.
- The most, enjoyable times
were the evenings. when we built
a big camp fire and san Civil war
songs among them for fun, Dixie.
AS the evening shadows began to
fall, the call of oh, Joe,' went all
over the camp grounds causing
much merriment. The call, 1t was
said, originated in the Orofino
mining camp In Idaho"
Many other things may be taken
as an indication that the coming
state fair will be the most largely
attended in the states history. Al
ready nearly every foot of building
and ground space has been spoken
for, and this includes the several
capacious new buildings that have
been erected this summer. Two
large machinery halls. 81 by 1870
feet, will accommodate about forty
exhibitors; new poultry building
will house about four thousand

KEEP UP FIGHT
ON THE TARIFF
PENROSE LEADS.THE
FRIENDS OF MEASURE
Will Make Effort Today To
Decide Time For
The Vote

WaSninglU ton. May J.-lDcmorrdtiC lead
erS in the senate continued their attack
on the emergency tariff and anti Dump
ing bill to-day. although friends Of the
measure. hc.: dcd by chairman Penrose.
of the finance COMMITTEES. fought them
AZ every point. Mr.. Pcnrosc delivered
an hours speech. his first extended re-
marks in nearly two years, in support
OF the measure.
Senator Simmons. Democrat. North
Carolina, charged the Republicans with
attempting to transfer ~ lot Of commo-
dilies from the free to the dutiaDle list
by use OF the anti-dumping clause and
argued that those provisions were Ger
tain 10 prove Il handicap instead Of l re-
lief 10 agriculture.
Some benefit VIII insure to the farm
"rs through the tariff items in the BILL
Mr.. simmons said. but those benefits
vii. b" absorbed many. many times over
bv tho burdens which will be added to
the already burdencd backs of the farm
crs.'
The senator referred TO the anti-dump-
provisions later as making the manufac-
turing interests beneficiaries OF tho bill.
He said he saw no reason for inserting
anti-dumping provisions unless some
Senator McCumbcr Republican. North
Dakota. had informed the senate that
the provisions would do little good and
could do no larm."
Predicts . Clash.
Mr.. Simmons predicted CLASH be-
tween the senate and the house when the
measure goes TO conference. Republican
leaders in the house. he said. were wed
dcd" to the anti-dumping and currency
conversion plans carried in the bill as
paSsed by the house. but stricken out by
committee in the senate, and he added
that he believed the house would compel
the senate TO write them in the bilf
again.
Mr.. Pcnrose's speech was given over
largely 10 explanation Of technical pro-
visions If the bill. although he subml;-
ted estimates of government actuaries
showing that tariff items in the Dill
would produce approximately $1O1,000.-
600 in the. six months the law would be
eGi"CtiNe.
He added that the amount was $54,-
n0u, 900 larger than the revenue received
from the same sources under the present
tariff laws.
The senate recessed tonight In order
that debate on the tariff measure might
be taken up hy priority when the senate
ronvencs tomorrow. Mr.. Penrose said
he would then attempt TO reach dell
mite agreement with opponents or the
bill for a day and hour for final vote.
