PROPOSED TARIFF ADDS
$1,316,669,449 TO FOOD
COST, SAYS WALSH

Washington, June 25.-Increases in
tariff duties, proposed on fresh meats,
sugar, cereals, beans, potatoes and APP
pies, if effective, would advance the
cost of those commodities to American
consumers by total of $780, &c.,
449 annually, Senator Walsh (Dem. b..
Massachusetts, said today in formal
statement. He explained that this es-
innate had been prepared by the De-
partment of Agriculture at his re-
quest and was based on the total con-
sumption in this country multiplied
by the increased tax proposed in the
new bill over the law of 1918.
Senator Walsh made public table
prepared by the department showing
the increased per capita cost per an
mum on such items would be as fol-
lows:
Barley, $.O94; buckwheat, $.OO7;
corn, $4.O77; Oats, $1,000; rye, $.O62;
wheat, $1.792; sugar, $500; beef,
fresh, $2.714; mutton, $.159; pork,
$.736; beans, $3.50; potatoes, $1.323;
apples, 1897. Total, $13.159. These
figures reveal the terrible consequence
es of high tariff duties on the bare
necessities of life, said Senator
Walsh. "At the very period when we
are attempting to debate the enor-
nous costs of production and excess
sive prices prevailing as a result of
war conditions, it is proposed to in
crease the cost of living to the Amer
lean public to the extent of $1,316,-
66S, 449 per annum.
at is unbelievable, it is inconveiv-
able that any public man would for
one instant seriously consider such
proposition. Yet, so great has been
the pressure eXerted on the majority
party in Congress by the agricultural
tariff bloc that unless the American
people make emphatic protest without
delay their living expenses for what
they eat are to be increased at the
rate of $1,250,000,O0O per year.
1.-THE heavy income tax burdens. the
excess profits taxes, and the high
surtaxes which corporations and
wealthy individuals have had to bear
during and since the war sink into in
significance compared with the bur-
den that the advocates of these agri-
cultural tariff duties seek to force up
on the great army of American toll
ers. Are the people of the United
States ready to surrender without We
hement protest just because the ma
jority party in Congress have surren-
dered to the threats and intimidations
of the agricultural tariff bloc"

!. L. Page, who for 25 years has
been editor~of the Bonnie Terre Star,
is one of the candidates for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Representative
in the General Assembly. Mr.. Page
is one Of the successful business men
of the county, being interested in
number of other enterprises besides
his newspaper. He is a firm believei
in the future of the county, especial
ly from dairying, truck gardening
and fruit growing view point, and as
Secretary of the Bonnie Terre Cham
Der of Commerce he is helping lay
plans looking toward the development
of this section along those lines. He
is also a member of the st. Francois
County Primary State Road Associa-
tion, which is working to have the
State Primary Road located through
st. Francois county. If he goes to
Jefferson City to represent st. Fran
co.'s county he will be especially we'll
equipped to press the claims of this
county for the location of this State
Primary Road. Having lived in the
county 25 years he is as familiar with
its resources and needs as any man
in the county, and those who know
him feel that as our representative
he would be able to match wits" with
the best men sent to Jefferson City
from other counties and secure for
st. Francois county the things the
county is entitled to. One of the rea-
sons that induced Mr.. Page to be-
come a candidate was the constantly
multiplying taxes levied on the peo-
Pile, and he states that if nominated
and elected it will be his effort to in
fuence legislation toward lowering the
tax burden, and to bring to an end
some of the soft jobs for which poll
ticians are drawing the money of the
taxpayers. Mr.. Page for the past
several years has been a member of
the official board of the Bonnie Terre
Methodist church; he has always been
ION the square" with those with whom
he has come in contact, and one of his
strong characteristics is that he will
do what he says he will do, regard
less of the personal consequences to
himself. These characteristics have
so commended themselves to many
prominent Republicans that they are
making no secret of the fact that they
will vote for Mr.. Page in the General
election if he is nominated by the
Democrats. He would make an ex-
ceptionally strong man on the ticket,
and his wide acquaintance over the
state and his recognized ability would
make him strong man. for the coun-
ty in the State Legislature.

carry and sell liquor outside the three
mile zone, were later denied by mem
bers of the searching squad.
The raiders found the President Ar
thurs cargo of liquor intact, but when
they searched the hold and other parts
of the ship they found $50 cases of al
legged liquor, most of it said to be Of
German manufacture, which they said
had been Struggled aboard. Officers
and members of the crew were ques-
TONED but said they had no knowledge
as to how it was brought aboard.
None of the liquor seized was sealed
or on the ships manifests it was said,
but had been hidden away
Despite the statement of customs
inspectors. some mystery surrounds
the seizure. Port Surveyor Thos. w.
Whittle and the Chief of Customs In
spection professed ignorance of the
raids but indicated that the searching
squad had authority to act on it's own
discretion. They declined to comment
on the action before receiving official
reports tomorrow morning.
The Ward liner, Siboney, and the
Barfond were visited at their docks
in Brooklyn. A search for drugs
aboard the former vessel failed of re-
suit but the inspectors located about
300 bottles of alleged liquor. This was
confiscated when no owner for it
could be found. A similar quantity
of contraband was seized aboard the
Norwegian ship.
No arrests were made in the raids.

GOOD MAN FOR THE PLACE

1t is reported from reliable sources
that the Hon. Chas. Sutton, of Rey-
nolds, our sister county, is being in
dorsed strongly for Speaker of the
Sind Assembly. Mr.. Sutton, we are
told, has the backing of large num-
Der of leading Democrats of the state.
He made an enviable record in the
51st and in view of the fact that old
Reynolds always remains Democratic
we feel that she should be honored by
the election of Mr.. Sutton as our next
speaker. MIR. Sutton is brother-in-
law of our fellow townsman, J. M.
Hawkins, having married Miss Sallie
Hawkins twenty years ago.-Ironton
Register.
The Times acquaintance with Repre-
sentative Sutton, of Reynolds county,
leads us to believe that he would per-
form well the duties of Speaker of the
House, as he evidently has the neces-
sary qualifications for that important
position. We know he has the neces-
sary industry and energy for such po-
sition, and that he is also 100 per cent
Democrat. The democracy could cas-
lily do worse than to select Sutton as
Speaker of the, next Legislature.

this instance, as in every similar one,
an inescapable obligation to protect
the public interests in the maintenance
of railroad operations, and to sup
port the decisions of its railroad trib-
unaIs, which it must be presumed, by
the government and the public, are
Just decisions, founded upon evidence
and upon proper conceptions OF right.
The railroad workers are making
grave mistake in taking up the gage
of battle against tribunal designed
to protect them from imposition. Its
duty to regard the public welfare par
amount, and to serve impartlally be-
tween the two elements of railroad in
dustry, may result in decisions that
seem unfair to one side or the other,
but in the long run its work should
tend to promote railroad prosperity,
to stabilize employment, to improve
working conditions, and to maintain
just and reasonable wages, results not
to be obtained by warfare. ut is on
ly patriotic common sense and just
ice" said the board in its last public
statement, "that every citizen, in
Guiding railway employees, should CO.
operate in cordial spirit, should bear
and forbear, until the carriers are
back on their feet. When this ac-
complishment is safely under way it
will then be possible for the Railroad
Labor Board to give increased con-
sideration to all the Intricate details
incident to the scientific adjustment
of the living and saving wage" The
board is a permanent body, required to
make adjustments in accord with
changing conditions. The welfare of
the railroad workers can best be
served by accepting its decisions and
laboring peacefully under the aegis
of the law for industrial betterment.
If this is not done there is no alterna-
tive but the full use of the govern
ment's power to maintain railroad OPP
