The government dispatched a
secret service man to the section
where the Dunnaways live and as the
result United States Attorney Ken

A tract of land comprising nine and

that the foundation supplements all

4CURE-ALL" TARIFF
/. FLAYED IN SENATE
Harrison Makes Bitter At
tack-Additi0naI Amend
ments introduced.

An attack on the emergency tariff
bill by Senator Harrison OF Missis-
sippi. democrat, was delivered in the
Senate yesterday afternoon.
Two additional amendments to the
bill were introduced.
Senator Ashurst. democrat. Arizona.
proposed that the duty OF cents a
pound on long-staple cotton be in
creased to 20 cents. while Senator
Jones. democrat. New Mexico. moved
for tariff OF Is per cent ad valorem
on all importations Of hides. The
amendments will be taken up later.
In his attack on the bill. Senator
Harrison told the Senate Congress
was pursuing the wrong course in
seeking to remedy the country's eco
nomic ills by use Of "cure-alF
tariff. He declared that the average
farmer desired the government to
make more available" such agencies
for his aid as it now has rather than
to waste further time on such Ques-
tions as the tariff.
scouts G. o. p. SOlidity.
The Mississippi senator asserted
that the republican membership was
not solidly behind the bill. and read
a speech. delivered by Senator Moses,
republican. New Hampshire. at the
last session. attacking the measure
as being afflicted with "congenital
f'pH'iillt TlckelS. .hoStS it-
marked that he assumed the speaker
was seeking to wiring recantations"
from him. and added:
But my position on this bill has
not changed. I hope at the proper
time to address few poignant re-
marks TO the Senate on the subject,
and | intend particularly to discuss
the last section restrictions on i'm
portation of dyestuff) of the bill
Mr. Harrison then turned to what
he described as a constructive pro-
gram for relief of the farmers He
argued that railroad legislation,
which would make it possible for
the American people again to use the
transportation systems was urgent
and that the farm loan system should
be made to do its full duty by
changes that would make loans
easier to the farmers.
Advises Different Course.
whatever happens to this tariff"
he said, these other subjects should
be considered first. The senator's on
the other (republican) side must go
at this in a different way; they must
follow a different course if they are
not to betray their party principles
and break all of the pledges they
made to the people last fall"
Chairman Fordney of the House
ways and means committee an
nounced that subcommittee of his
committee were practically through
with their work on the permanent
tariff bill and that the whole COM
mittee probably would begin con-
sideration of ,the permanent sched-
ules within week.
Mr. Fordney indicated that the re-
publican members of the committee
were agreed on the adoption Of the
American valuation plan as the basis
for levying duties. He said that by
ha c American
wholesale value of a commodity,
rather than on it's value in a foreign
land. it would be possible to elm
mate undervaluation.

There is nothing scientific about
the Fordney tax bill. Neither thu
White House nor the Republican Con
gress has ever had tax program; in
fact, the White House has had nc
program about anything except to
pay election debts and keep the party
together. The making of the tax bill
has been a matter of guess work and
catch-as-catch-can, "a matter of tenn
PORTING and grasping at straws. This
and that have been suggested as
things to tax only to be abandoned.
The lack of leadership has been pain
fully apparent.
The trouble has been principally
that the making of the tax bill as
we'll as the tariff ball has been done
with only political effect in mind;
the spirit of policies has ruled in a
matter which should have been con-
sidered only as an economic meas
ure. The tax bill is designed to fool
the people, but it will not fool them;
it will fool only those Republican re-
dictionaries who have sacrificed an
honest financial policy to political
expediency. The very best it can
accomplish is to postpone the day of
wrath.
