TARIFF, TAXATION,

Special Session Must GrappIe Problems That Are Directly Affecting Every Farm,

By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-HeFald tf 800 Davidson Buitding

Washington. March 17.-(Special.)- )--- Tariff taxation, transportation!
 The Congress, in extraordinary ses- sion beginning April II, will tackle a stupendous programme, and one of prime importance to the people who pay the piper.
 The republican majority, responsible for whatever is done and whatever is left undone. has promised the fulfill ment of a plan which would result in the construction of tariff wall against the importation of foreign goods and secondly, in the reduction of the insufferable burden of taxation under which the people groan
 It is apparently impossible to tax importation out of business, and thus decrease the income of the govern ment, and at the same time to reduce taxation, and further decrease the in- come of the government
 TASK GREATLY INVOLVED
 In the beginning, the republicans evidently regarded the scheme as en- tirely feasible. Since entering into q preliminary study of the situation, however, they have reached another conclusion.
 Senator Underwood, democratic leader of the Senate and perhaps the most skillful democrat in the matters oi taxation, declares that it will be impossible for the republicans to elim- mate the duty at ports. and reduce taxation. They must do either the one or the other" he said.
 The republicans practically admit as much by differing among themselves as to whether it would be wiser to consider taxation first, and the tariff afterwards. Representative Longworth of Ohio, who poses as an expert Oh taxation, insists that first of all the Congress should reduce taxes and then SD increase duties on imports as to mako up for the loss in revenue. He evidently figures that importation will not decrease in proportion to the in- crease in custom charges. es
 Representative Fordney, on the other hand, insists that the tariff be first dispensed with and then give the peo- pie what reduction in taxation as IS deemed possible,

You notice compilations in the Spring. People who have plenty of rich red blood have lips deep, rosy red. eyes bright and clear. Good complexions are based on the solid foundation of good blood, with plenty of red corpuscles When blood becomes clogged with impurities. when the red ecrpuseies are not absorbing enough oxygen from the lungs and distributing it to the cells throughout the body good complexions fade. Not only that but you feel tired and exhausted all the time. Your shoulders droop and you lounge around and lean against anything handy. You lack energy because your blood is weak and thin--not enough red corpuscles.
 People call it Spring Fever" Call it what you will, it is bad blood. It weakens powers of resistance.
 If you feel that way you should take that exceptionally good blood tonic. Guides Pepto- Mangan. for a while. It will make rich red blood. For thirty years it has been a standby among physicians.

Centerville Outlook: "R. G. Jor-
dan of Ellington, Mo-, has recently
been appointed deputy game and fish
commissioner for local territory in
this part of the State. It is the in
tention of the State Commissioner
through his local deputies to see that
all violations of the game and fish law
are placed before prosecuting at
to-ney In each county, where the
violations occur. We understand
that Mr.. Jordan has special instruc-
ton to look after those who violate
the law by seining or dynamiting fish,
or by killing fish by the use of high
powered rifles and steel bullets.
The Commissioner is also furnishing
more young fish now for the streams
Of the state, as well as the ponds with
the hope OF making fish more plenti-
full; for this reason every person that
desires to feb is required to have Q
license which Elicense covers hunting
and fishing and costs only 81. 100. This
S1.OO goes to help keep up the fish
%hatcheries as well as to protect the
game Of the state. 1t is the intention
of the State Commissioner through
bis deputies to give the wild turkey
and the quail more protection, if
possible, than has been afforded them
heretofore, therefore the local deputies
have been given strict instruction to
report ever violation of the game
law"

NOT TO STRETCH
Sheriff Forgot to Hang Him On
Date Set; Now He Is
To Live
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch1

Shreveport, La, April 21.-Lonnie
Eaton, the negro the sheriff of Ouach-
tia Parish forgot about when the day
set for Eaton's. hanging came around
last month, is happy today for the
state pardon board, after considering
his case commuted the death sentence
Of the negro to life Imprisonment.
Eaton was convicted of murder sew
eral months ago, and was brought
from Ouachita Parish to the Caddo
Parish jail for safekeeping. Governor
Parker set the date for the hanging
but the sheriff forgot all about 1t UNI
TIL the legal date had passed. AS he
afterward wrote to Governor Parker
he was 80 busy with other affairs in
his office that he forgot the day that
he was to hang Eaton.
When the omission was discovered,
attorneys for Eaton held that as he
had been in jeopardy once, his execu-
ton would be Illegal. Governor Park
er secured opinions from members of
the bar, but the attorney general held
that as Eaton had been sentenced to
be hanged the law require that sen
tence being carried out unless elem
ency was extended. The matter was
then allowed to rest until the meeting
Of the pardon board today.
