News from Home Builders-Brick Tax
Multiplied Nine Times.


Multiplied Nine Times.
1t seems like waste of space to
quote Democratic objections to the
pending Fordney-McCumber Prof.
teefs' Tariff Bill, which includes even
salt in the articles of food taxed, and
the medicines of the sick room, be-
cause the editorial columns of the Re-
publican press throughout the coun-
try are filled with unqualified denuni-
cations of the bill, extending even to
unpleasant personal references to its
sponsors.
The heights of profteering and in
justice were reached when sand was.
included in the list of things to be
taxed and the duty on brick multiplied
nine fold at time when the housing
situation, not only in the big cities but
even in the small villages, is almost
uncomfortable. The outrageousness of
such procedure was so great that even
Senator Calder, hard-boiled protec-
zionist and a builder, admitted that
even the present duty might be taken
off.
This outrageous attempt to add fur
Their burdens to tenants and to home
builders was thoroughly ventilated by
Senators Robinson Ark and Stan.
ley (Ky.), among the most effective of
Democratic spokesman, but no dispo-
sition was shown by the hard boiled
protectionists to recede from the
amendment to the brick schedule in
creasing the existing rate from % to
225 per cent on bricks.

been named as Attorney General. The
appointment was one of the few mis-
takes President Harding has made. 1t
was a personal selection. and such for
high office are seldom happy. 8.
Here are glimpses of the reflected
committees, which framed the tariff
bill now under discussion, as seen by
members of their own party press:
Joseph w. Fordney (Rep.,) Mich.),
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee.
From the Philadelphia Public Led
ger (Rep.)
The impression the public had of
him (Fordney) was that he was a
rather stodgy man with good outfit
Of brains along conventional lines,
that he was dignifed, and, above all,
respectable and decent. He did moth
ing in all those twenty-four years to
disturb that impression, and now in
one day he has torn it to pieces and
scattered it to the winds. 1t was
nothing but a mask, pose.
He did this in what he probably
thought was funny speech about
ex-President Wilson. We refuse to
join Representative Connally in as
serting that it was no fit speech to
be made against man who could not
reply or take any other action. 1t
was no fit speech for a man such as
Fordney was supposed to be to make
about anybody. especially any ex-
President. Calling Wilson always
"the schoolmaster' Fordney recalled
certain lines sung by boys at the
close of a bacRwoods school:
Goodbye, scholars; goodbye, school;
Goodbye, teacher, you darned old
fool"
Such epithets as political boss
and glorious misfit" also figure in
this boomerang speech. If
Fordney finds many imitators, the
Republican vote next fall is likely to
be diminished, for the number of cit
liens who vote their disgust instead
of their joy is always large, whether
on fair grounds or not. And disgust
is the only sentiment Fordney's civ
ery-stable conversation" as Mr.. Con-
nally aptly called is, is likely to awak-
| en-.
However that may be, Fordney's
coarse minded clowning has enabled
his revoted fellow citizens to take his
measure, and if it has any effect on
Wilson, will tend to create sympathy
and respect for him.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-06-16

Rep. 7. w. Hukriede, who has been
building his fences in the Ninth dis
trict, says crop conditions are i'm
proving but he isn't overly sanguine
on the political situation. He says
there is much interest in the Demo
cratic primary but comparatively lit
tie in impending Republican races.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-06-16
Time to Resign,

From New York Tribune (Rep.):
Unless Attorney General Daugher-
ty has a better defense of his relation
to the unsavory Morse pardon than
thus far has come from him or his
friends, he should relieve President
Harding of embarrassment by a
prompt resignation.
Mr.. Daugherty should never have
been named as Attorney General. The
appointment was one of the few mis-
takes President Harding has made. 1t
was personal selection. and such for
high office are seldom happy. &.
