GOVERNOR IN AIR OVER NEW TARIFF
 MEASURE
State G. O. p. Leader Going to Wash
 ington to Read Old Line Riot Act!
Especial to Copper Era)


 Phoenix, July 11-Were the far reaching effects of the Fordney Tariff bill, which republicans are attempting 10 ride through congress by July 24, not so grave, the rumpus the measure has stirred up would be one of the most amusing hornet nest rows ever viewed from tine democratic side lines.
 Republicans have broken the power of their party by old line leaders at tempting to put the bill through on coasters.
 New G. 0. P. representatives in both houses of congress are indig nlnt and have threatened revolt at the lash of the Penrose and Borah whip.
 Now Fordney comes along with the tariff bill. Everything is cut and dried, but leaders have not counted | upon one thing-state loyalty. Republicans are joining democrats in battle against the newest autocracy to be forced upon the American pub l lie.

 l The Thruth About That Bill The following telegram has bee sent newspapers of the state b United States Senator Ashurst regard 2 ing the proposed tariff measure bt a ing railroaded through congress: Tariff bill repored to the house wa S prepared largely in secret sessions ( 5 the house committee on ways an 8 means and some members of the con a mittee were denied the right to b 33 present or even see the bill befor sa it was reported to the house. Th ;% manufacturing interests and especia 8 ly the textile interests who are seel $ ing cheap raw materials had the :$ way in e. cry schedule of the bill. N M Eill in tariff history of our countT M ever contained such glaring discrin s nations against the farmers as doe $ this bill. The placing of the cottol @ on the free list means that the spi M ners will buy Egyptian cotton whic EH can be laid down in the New Englan 2 mills at twenty-siX cents per poun s and the American cotton raisers # course cannot compete with the To E ideals and low wags of the Egyptia Ez Extreme care was taken, however,
