Mrs Rip Van Wrinkle, better known
as Dame Van Wrinkle, was very
talkative, disagreeable old woman.
Morning, noon and night her tongue
was continually going. A quarrel
some wife in some respects may be
considered a moderately good bless
ing, if so, Mr.. Rip Van Wrinkle was
thrice blessed.
Mr.. Rip Van Wrinkle was simple,
good-natured, obedient, hen-pecked
husband. His "hen-pecked-husba
ness" might be due to his meekness of
spirit, which gained him universal
universal popularity. Rip was a great
favorite among the good wives of the
village, who always took his part in
all family squabbles. He would never
refuse to assist a neighbor in the
roughest toll; but for building up his
cid Weather-beaten, tlme-Worn house,
why, that was an entirely different
thing. Rips only follower was dog,
Wolf, who like himself was very hen
pecked. Dame Van Wrinkle regarded
them both as companions in idleness.
Rip would carry his gun for hours,
trudging through swapps and woods
to shoot few squirrels or wild pig
cons. On his return home, he would
receive from the Dame lecture to
which he had but one way of replying
to. He would shrug his shoulders,
shake his head, cast up his eyes but
say nothing. This, however, would
always provoke another volley from
his wife; so that he would have to
draw off his forces and retreat to the
outside of the house-"the only side
in fact that belongs to hen-pecked
husband"
1t is very probable that Mrs. Van
Wrinkle was never really moved by

SPRING ARE TOO HIGH

Columbia, Jan. 29.--Retail cloth
iers of South Carolina, meeting in
Columbia today, adopted resolu-
tion proposing that prices for Palm
Beach suits, straw hats and linen
collars are too high. The conccnsus
of opinion was that there will be lit

scale of prices now being quoted
by wholesalers and manufacturers
remains.
Forty clothing dealers are in at
tendance. The association will be in
session again tomorrow when an ad-
dress will be heard from Charles W.
Wry of Chicago, secretary of The

thiers.

sessments on merchants stocks; ].

DID NOT CHANGE HABITS.

When James B. Duke, tobacco
king, was earning $4,000 year and
rapidly becoming known as the lead
er in the industry, he lived in hall
bedroom in a cheap rooming house
and ate his three meals a day from
the counter of dreary little Bowery
restaurant. When questioned as to
why he did this, he declared it was in
part so that he could save every dol
lar possible to put it back into the
business and partly because the
grinding poverty Of his youth had
not been forgotten.
When he was a boy his father, hav-
ing lost everything as result of the
Civil war, was forced to take job
as farmer on a farm thirty miles
from Durham, N. C. James and his
three small brothers lived with their
father in a shanty that permitted
storm and cold to enter from all
sides and the four had to sleep on a
single husk tick in one corner of the
place for the sake of warmth. Their
food often consisted of little more
than a handful of parched corn. 1t
was years after the war that the first
ray CT sunshine came. Some of the
farmers that owed young Dukes IA
ther money from before the war be-
gan to pay him in tobacco. This was
the start of the company that be-
came in time one of the greatest cor
porations the world has ever known.

JAP POPULATION OF HAWAII
SHOWS SHARP INCREASE

Washington, Jan. 29.-The Japan
ese population of Hawaii in 1920 was
109,274 out of the total population of
255,912 and represented an increase
for that race of about 33 per cent.
since 1910, the census bureau an
nounced today.
The only race which showed a
greater increase in Hawaii that the
japanese was the Filipino with an in
crease from 1851 in 1910 to 2,103 il
1920. The native Hawaiian peoples
decreased in the last decade from
26,041 to 1928.

houses, or more than $40 per capita
We connected about So per capita.
She collected more than three times
as much per capita than we, and a
greater amount than was ever col
lected under any tariff law in the
history of this nation.
"Both countries admit free of duty
and always have, large amounts of
imports, but each levies duties on
other goods. Neither has free trade
in the sense that we have it between
the states of this union.
"What is the real digerence be-
tween the British system and ours?
She lays the duties on non-competing
articles and admits free of duty the
competing articles. We reverse that,
admitting free all non-competent ar
ticles except luxuries, and laying
duties on competing articles. For ex-
country and is therefore non-compet-
ing in both. Great Britain, therefore,
levies a duty on tea while we admit
it free of duty. Take woolen cloths.
1t is made in both countries and
therefore imported wooden cloth
would compete with home production
in both countries. Therefore, woolen
cloth is on the free list in Great
Britain and on our dutiable list. Ex-
cept as to luxuries, which as one
country puts on the free list the other
puts on the dutiable list. The proper
name for the British system is non
protective traiff, and for ours protec-
tive tariff. She aims to give her
home producers no advantage over
the foreign producers in her own
market, we aim to give our own pro-
ducers the advantage in our home
market over foreign producers trying
to sell in our markets. Which is the
better system? That is the funda-
mental tariff question. 1t is simple
enough when relieved of the decep-
tive name, free trade and when clear
ly understood there is no room for
difference of opinion as to which is
the better system"

All For Hire
Vehicles Put
Under Control

The jitney and truck bill passed
by the last special session provid'
ed for the supervision and regu'
lation of the transportation Of
persons and property for compen-
sation over any public highway by
motor vehicles.
The new automotive legislation
is interpreted as affecting all cor
porations, persons or companies
owning, controlling, operating or
managing any motor vehicle used
in the business of transportation
of persons or property for COM
pensation over the public high
ways of the state, exception being
made to such vehicles as operate
exclusively within the limits of an
incorporated city or town.
The public service commission,
in it's administration of the act, is
authorized to supervise and regu-
late such features as rates, serv-
ices and facilities from the stand
point of their reasonableneSs,
safety and adequacy and to exer-
else jurisdiction in such matters
affecting the relationship Of suen
companies with the passenger and
shipping public.
All companies or individuals
subject to the act and engaged in
the operation of this class of pub
lie transportation must first OBJ
tain from the commission a eertifi-
cate Or permit setting forth the
terms and conditions covering
such operations, also to file a
surety bond or liability insurance
and good faith undertaking. Tho
maximum license zee is fixed at
$40 per vehicle.

dustry and the general public in
the introduction of and compliance
with the new law in matter and
spirit.

FAIR TAX
PROBLEM
IS NOVEL
Bill Calling For Vote
In May Before Gov
ernor, But Measures
Are Dead

With the special election meas
ure in his possession for executiy,
approval or disapproval between
now and next Thursday and the
exposition measures in the behalf
Of which the special election was
called primarily, relegated to the
legislative discard, Governor Oh
colt is confronted with most pc
culiar situation.
Should he sign the measure the
machinery for the special election
will be set In motion for action on
May 10 next.
Should the exposition propo-
nents then fail to move in behalf
of the resurrection of the fair
measures Or should they move and
fail to resurrect the measures
there would be left only one minor
question for consideration at the
special election--the right of til
people of Linn county to levy a
special tax and the people of Ben
ton county to bond themselves for
the payment of certain Old debts.
For, in spite CT arguments to
the contrary advance on the floor
of the senate in behalf of support
of the special election measure,
there does not appear to be any
provision in the election bill
which would halt the election once
the measure is signed by the gov
ernor, even though the major
questions involved therein--the
exposition measures-should be
found to be invalid.
The only saving clause contain
ed in the election bill reads as fol-
lows
Provided that If any amend
ment or measure herein mentioned
shall be found not to have been
adopted or passed by the legisla-
tive assembly the same shall not
submitted to the people at said
election"
This clause, attorneys here
pointed out, would NOT prevent rnc
referring of any other measure
regularly adopted or passed, to the
people at such an election.
With the exposition measures
eliminated-and SO they are now
unless court order is had resur-
recting them-there will be left
only the minor question for sub
mission to the people--a question
primarily designed for submission
at the next regular election and
for which even the proponents of
the measure displayed no desire
for haste in the recent legislative
session.
The special election bill was de-
livered to the governor by Chief
Clerk Drager of the house today.
II must be acted upon by next
Thursday. In the meantime the
governor is closely watching the
movements of the fair proponents
In behalf of their measures, for IL
he vetoes the election bill there
arises the possibility of two re-
ferred measures with no special
election provided for. On the other
hand should he approve the cleo
tion bill there arises the pros
pect Of $4,000 special election
with nothing to vote upon.

OVER So. 100000
CREDITS TO FARMERS

Washington, Nov. 6.-More than
SD 100000 in credit has been extend
ed to farmers and stockmen during
the two and one-half months since
Congress authorized the War FL
nance Corporation to make advances
for agricultural and live stock pur-
poses, according to figures made avail
able tonight by that agency.
Reports of the corporations activi-
ties since August ~, when the agri-
cultural and live stock authority be-
came operative, showed total credit
in excess of S22 ,663, 900, established
with about 80 financial institutions
located in 10 States for the purpose
of making loans to farmers and
stock raisers.
States Receiving Advances.
The States in which corporation
advances for these purposes have
been made are:
Montana, Minnesota, Missouri,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Geor-
gia, Texas, North Carolina, South
Carolina. Arizona. Kansas, New
York, Virginia. Indiana, Idaho. New
da, Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming.
Most of the advances, according to
corporation officials, have been made
in the past month and half.
The 50 advances made so far range
from few thousand dollars up to
one of Sl5,000.000 to cooperative
association in Minnesota, North and
South Dakota to assist in the mar
keting of grain. Where advances are
made to a cooperative association
officials explained, credit is set up
which it can draw against as the
need arises, but where the advances
is made to a bank or financial insti-
tuition the loan is made at once.
Obtain Funds From Treasury.
Funds for the advances, officials
said, are obtained from the corpora
tons balance with the Treasury,
which, at the time these operations
were begun, amounted to about S430,
100000. There has been some dis
cussion, it was said, of n bond issue
by the corporation TO provide funds
for its operations, but it is under
stood that il would be left TO Secre-
tary Mellon to decide whether the
Treasury would prefer to do the
financing itself and meet the needs of
the corporation as desired or let that
agency go into the investment mar
ket itself to provide for its advances.
Applications for agricultural and
livestock loans are coming in stead
lily, il was stated. In addition to its
domestic financing, officials said, the
corporation is continuing to finance
American products for export to for
eign markets.
