Berlin. ASSASSINATION of Foreign
Minister Walter Rathenau. was the
signal for a countrywide attempt to
overthrow the government, leaders of
Independents in the reichstag warned.
The city was thrown into a tir-
moil, the communists demanding Inn
mediate arming of the workmen to
resist q monarchist uprising. ~ Major
ity socialists urged dissolution Of the
officers leagues and reorganization of
the reichstag.
The assassination evidently had
been carefully planned. and was care
fully carried out In some. quarters
the officers league were held respon-
sible. 1t was also pointed out that
lacquittai OF the suspected slayers of

ties proposed on fresh meats, sugar.
cereals, beans. potatoes and apples If
effective would advance the cost of
those commodities to American con
sumers by a total of ,316.569.4 .440 an
nually, Senator Walsh. democrat, Mas
sachusetts, said in a formal statement.
He explained that this estimate had
been prepared by the department of
agriculture at his request and was ad-
justed on the total consumption in
this country multiplied by the increas-
ed tax proposed in the new bill over
the law of 1913.
Senator Walsh made public table
prepared by the department showing
the increased per capita cost per an
mum of such items would be. as fol-
lows:
Barley $0.O94; bulk wheat .$0,Oo7;
corn $4,O77; oats $1,000; rye s0O62;,
wheat. $1.792; sugar so, 400; beef fresh
$2,714; mutton $0159: pork .$0,736;
beans $013O; potatoes $1.323; apples
s0397; total $13.159. s....a E.
These figures reveal. the terrible
consequences of high tariff duties on
the base necessities Of life" said SEN
ator Walsh. 'At the very period
when we are attempting to deflate the
enormous cost of production and ex-
cessiye prices prevailing as result
of war conditions, it is proposed to
increase the cost of living to the Amer
lean people to the extent of $1,316, $685.
149 per annum. s.ss 44a aY z
1T is unbelievable, it is inconceiv-
able that any public man would for
one instant seriously consider such a
proposition. yet so great nas been the
pressure exerted on the majority party
in congress by the agricultural traffic
bloc that unless the American people
make emphatic protests without delay
their living expenses for what they
eat are to be Increased at the rate
of over one and one quarter billion
dollars per year. u AS
THE heavy income tax burdens,
the excess profits taves, and the high
surtaxes which corporations and
wealthy individuals have had to bear
during and since the war sink into
insignificance compared with the bur
den that the advocates of these agri-
cultural traffic duties seeks to force
upon the great army Of American toll
ers and consumers. Are the people
o fthe United States really to surren-
der without vehement protest Just be-
cause the majority in congress have
surrendered to the threats and. intim-
idations of the agricultural tariff
blocg'

Washington. II President Harding's s
signature is, all thai is required for
authorizing the appropriation of ST.
100000 for new work on the Muscle
Shoals, Ala. The army bill containing
authority of congress to spend the
money on that project effective Octo-
Der L. next, was passed by the senate
without a change in the language al
ready approved by the house and by
conferees of the two Legislative bodies.
During the final consideration, how
ever, the measure at certain stages
was threatened with being sent back
to the house for further conference
Senator Norris. of Nebraska. chairman
of the agriculture committee, moving
that the senate disagree with. the
house provision delaying expenditure
of the money until October He was
finally overruled by the senate on vote
Of 2S to 80.
The Nebraska senator led the attack
on the house amendment, and was
Joined by Senator Wadsworth of New
York, chairman of the military COM
mittee in charge of the bill, and by
Senator Underwood of Alabama, the
democratic leader, in declaring the
house action unfortunate" The lat
ter two senators, however, differed
with Senator Norris on his motion to
disagree, declaring that if it prevailed
the bill would be- returnef to the House
and the appropriation probably would
besjeopardized in that prpcedura.
= Others Including Senators Heflin,
democrat, Alabama, and Smith, demo-
crat, South Carolina, supported Sena-
tor Underwood in requesting concur
renee in the house amendment in or
der to make the appropriation certain.
Senator Underwood recalled past oc-
currences where differences between
the senate and house had resulted dis
astrously to Muscle Shoals .appropria-
tions, and reminded his colleagues that
the army bill had to be on the statute
books by July l and that they had no
time to lose in adjusting differences in
lapguagej however unfortunate they
might appear to the senate.
