 FLEXIBLE TARIFF
Senate Attack Is Launched on Plan Proposed on Recom-

 dent Harding
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald.
 6nA Daxfdann Huildinn |

Washington, May 8.-(Special.)-- That the proposed delegation by tho republican Congress of it's right to make tariff rates was & confession by the republican party of its incorn- petence was charged by Senator Oscar W. Underwood on the floor of the Senate today.
 "In tho past.r said Senator
 Underwood, "you wrote your
 principles and theories into tho
 organic law. For the first time
 In history you contend that you
 lack ability so to do and admit
 that you must delegate your
 power to a bureau chief who fs
 not directly responsible to the
 American people,"
 Senator Underwood was referring to that provision of the pending tariff bill which empowers tho President to increase rates 50 per cent whenever in his opinion tt is necessary so to do in order that American manufacturers might be adequately protected" He pointed out that as the President would find 1t impossible to ascertain tho alleged necessity of such increases he must delegate that responsibility to a bu- reau, the chief of which would not be responsible to the people.
 "You would give this bureau poweH to regulate the breakfast table in every homo of the United States" he continued, ito control industry and exercise arbitrary supervision over that competition which is tho life of trade--all this in time of pros found peace.
 "If 1t is constitutional that you delegate this authority. 1t would ba constitutional that you permit a bus reau to increase rates 1000 per cent, to impose at will sales tax to pro- mitigate taxes on incomes and cons sumption and to raise revenue for the government by direct taxation or by taxation on the incomes of wealth..
 Senator underwood declared that whereas in ths bill obtaining prior | to the enactment of the Underwood bill 25 per cent of ths favored manu- lecturers were protected in tho pend- ing bill 100 per cent of such manu- facturers were protected by pro- hibitive rates.
 1 "You would prostitute the power of taxation from . treasury bene~ ficiary to a beneficiary of manufac- | turers desiring . monopoly" he ex- claimed, "and would prevent any possible competition to tho destruc- l tion of American trade and indus- try"
 The remarks of the Aia0ama sen- ator were preliminary to general discussion of tho bill he proposes to make in the near future.

SAN JOSE SCALE IN
SAN MIGUEL COUNTY

Especial Correspondence to The JOurnal.)
Las Vegas, N. M, Jan. S.-San
Jose scale, which probably is the
most deadly blight to apple trees
that is know, has been discovered
In the country about thirty miles
southeast of here by County Agri-
cultural Agent L. +. Jones and Fe-
Tx +. Armijo of Santa Fe, an en-
ploye Of the biological survey. The
scale is composed of small insects
which become covered with sap
from the bark in which they bury
themselves until they are as hard
as wood. They multiply so rap
idly that four generations may be
born in one day, and within a
years time they can destroy n
whole orchard. Instructions are
being given the farmers as to how
to get rid of the scale.
The farmers in four localities
have organized coyote control
clubs, which will work with the
biological survey In an effort to kill
off the enemies OF flocks ana
chickens. The government fur
nishes the materials and instruc-
tons for poisoning the coyotes,
and the farmers pay for putting
the stuff where the animals can
get it. The survey is said to have
a new poison which other animals
will not touch but which the
coyotes eat readily.

There was no change today In
the deadlock existing between the

KING Of MINE
FIRES HAS BEEN
GOING g. YEARS
Flames Have Been Eating
Up Millions of Tons of An
thraCite Coal Near Mount
Carmel, Pa.
lpy The Associated rrcss.,

Philadelphia, Jan. 8,--The Sum-
NIT Hill fire, the king" of all mine
fires, is still burning, but it is well
under control. according to re-
cent announcement by the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation company, on
whose property flames have been
eating up millions Of tons Of anth-
racite coal for the last sixty-two
years. While this one has been
brought under control another
mine fire, which has been burning
nineteen years near Mount Carmel,
Pa, in the heart Of the lower anth-
racite fields, is still trying to
spread. A third fire, which has
been raging for three years, in the
red ash vein Of the Red Ash Coal
company on the Wilkes Barre
mountain, has made 1t necessary to
close the old Giants Despair road
known to many automobilists be-
cause of the hill climbing contests
that have been held upon it.
The Summit Hill fire in the
Panther creek valley, between
Lansford and Coaldale. was dis
covered in February. 1859, in an
abandoned gangway. The hard coal
dips from 20 degrees to about 10
degrees and Is about fifty feet
thick. The area involved is about
one mile long by 1900 feet wide.
How many millions of tons of coal
have been consumed has never
been accurately ascertained. but it
Aa1 fhn taa
100000 to fight the long burn
ing fire.
In the early sixties an open cut
was made in the involved area
which seemed to isolate the flames
for many years, but eventually the
fire Travelled past this cut into the
coal areas beyond, Many efforts
were made to check the flames but
to no avail until about 1910 when
a concrete and clay barrier, about
twelve feet thick, 10 feet deep and
700 feet long was built The fire
Travelled so rapidly that It pressed
closely upon the location of the
new barrier before the work was
completed and the heat became so
intense that men could work only
in Commute relays. The barrier
eventually checked the progress Of
the fire.
In order to insure against fur
Their spread the coal company has
been stripping the overburden from
the coal west OF the barrier, This
operation has been in progress nine
years and when completed the
company officials hope the fire will
be certain to be under control. The
cost of the stripping operation. in
volving the removal of 100000
cubic yards Of material, 1t is esti-
mated, will approximate s2,7OO,-
900. 1t is not known to the pres
lent generation of mining men how
the fire started.
The 19-year-old fire is In the
abandoned workings of the Sioux
mine of the Lehigh Valley COM
pany near Mount Carmel 1t origi-
mated when hot ashes were dump
ed into a mine breach and ignited
a vein of coal. Every effort to sub
due the flames has proved unsuc-
cessful.

FOOD AND CLOTHING
PRICES ARE SOARING

Moscow, Jan. S.-Prices Of
clothes and food are jumping daily,
since the establishment of free
trade. The shops that opened up
in September hold weekly invoices
when prices are marked UP 10 to
so per cent. This helps speculation,
the business by which everybody
lives.
Recently the owner of fur coat
offered to sell II to a shop for %, :
100000 rubles. The shop keeper,
former princess, told friend she
had a fur coat for 100000 and
the friend found buyer whom she
charged 100000 for the coat.
Prices have been shot UP by big
foreign buyers of luxury articles,
who use the couriers of minor dip
lomatic missions to smuggle the
goods over the frontier. Bv a re-
