VETOES EMERGENCY
AID TARIFF SCHEME
FoRDNEY MEASURE TO AID
FARMERS FAILS. TO RECEIVE
WILSON'S APPROVAL.
Declares Measure Would Not Furnish
in Any Substantial Degree the
Relief Sought by Producers
Of Staple Commodities.

WashingtOn.-The FOrdney emergen.
cy tariff bill was vetoed by President
Wilson in message which declared
that "this is no time for the erection
here Of high trade barriers" and that
the measure "would not furnish in any
substantial degree the relief sought by
the producers Of most of the staple
commodities which it covers"
"The situation in which many Of the
farmers find themselves cannot be
remedied by a measure of this sort"
the president said There is no short
way out Of existing conditions, and
measures of this sort can only have
the effect of deceiving the farmers
and OF raising false hopes among
them"
The president said the measure
has only slight interest so far as it's
prospective revenue yields are con-
cerned," and declared that "the rates
established in the bin either equal or
exceed those established under the
Payne-Aldrich act, in which the prin
clple OF protection reaches its high
water mark, and the enactment Of
which was followed by an effective
exhibition OF protest on the part of the
majority Of the American people"
Efforts to override President Will
sons veto Of the Fordney emergency
tariff bill failed in the house early
Thursday morning, and the measure,
originally designed to aid the farmers,
thereby met it's death. The vote on
the motion to pass the measure over
the presidents veto was POI for and
1872 against. This was II votes less
than the necessary twO-thirds.
The veto was called up and voted
on without discussion. There was lit
tie expectation among Republicans
that they could round up the two
thirds vote necessary to override the
veto, and it was for this reason that
some Of the leaders had urged Chair
man FOrdney of the ways and means
committee to let it lie on the table
without action.

CALLS OLDEN DAYS

Well Mr.. Eidtcr: was at the
hialto theatre and saw scenes of the
Black Hawk war. My father was In
1t. remember of seeing the soldiers
we were in the northwest part oil
Illinois. There was a fort close to
us, where families were staying. The
stockade or yard around us was
made of logs set up on ends. The
show brought back my boyhood days
One day turkey kept yelling not far
from the fort and an old man said he
would 60 out and get the turkey SO
he slipped out and listened. He
finally located the turkey and shot it.
It was an Indian up in the hollow
stub Of tree. The old man took
his scalp and fetched it in, but did
not have the turkey cooked.
1t seems strange to me that so
many kinds, of human beings are
created. 1t seems that mankind is
the worst ofall creation. You see

Well, was talking of the picture

the stage with Hall brothers. We

The last nights would have big
crowds, but the picture shows or

five years and see all the improve

DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Assessors Bulletin No. I

February 26, 1921.
Our records of licensing indicate
that up to the present time this Of
flee has not received the usual reg
istration applications. 1t is, there
fore, requested that every assessor
accept a dead-line date for 1921,
from and after which date prosecu>
tions will be made of those failing
to pay the usual fee for automobile
registration. 1t Is requested that
March Is, 1921, be set as the dead
line for this year. Proper notice
should be given by advertisements
run in the local papers, and after
March Is it is expected that the CO.
operation between the assessors, the
sheriffs, state police officials and
other peace officers will develop q
strict enforcement Of this particular
law.
OF course, the license fees are due
on January 1, 1921, and the person
who operates a motor vehicle after
that date without having paid the
proper license fee and without having
attached to the front and rear of his
car the regulation license plates does
so at his own risk. However, the
dead-line date of March 18th is the
limit of patience and peace officers
should begin concerted and uniform
drive to enforce the automobile IL
cense law.
Proper notification is being mailed
out to every peace officer of the state
urging that assistance be given to-
ward the proper enforcement of this
law. adv. 1921
