SENATE PASSES TARIFF
BILL; VOTE 48 TO rs
Highest Protective Measure il
History Of Government.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Provid
ing the greatest protective tariff
in history for American agricul
ture and industry, the McCum
Der tariff bill tonight was on its
way to final enactment into law
before October l.
Drafted to bring in 100000.
600 revenue annually to regulate
foreign commerce and protect
Americans against cheap foreign
competition, the bill passed the
senate late today by a vote Of 4S
to 25.
1t was sent to conference i'm
mediately, where difficulties be-
tween the house and senate will
be adjusted.
Buffeted by II weeks of sena-
torial storms, the bill will ulti-
mately throw the highest pro-
tective tariff wall in history
around every agricultural and
industrial interest in the United
States. Political leaders of both
parties are preparingto hurl it
into the maelstrom Of the Novem-
Der elections as the technical ma
tional issue.
Its supporters declared the bill
will permanently protect Ameri-
can enterprise against invasion
by cheap foreign competition,
give the American farmer a liv-
ing return from his fields and
produce $400,000,O00 annually in
revenues.
Its opponents charged the
measure will tax the American
consuming public $2,0O0,0O0,0oo
annually for the benefit of com
parative few, will send soaring
the cost Of existence and destroy
America 5 foreign markets. {
The bill starting it's voyage
through the senate on April 20, {
last, has survived the bitterest !
political attack in recent years.
1t represents a compromise in {
tariff opinions between the "old ]
guard leaders who controlled {

interests. n

The Butler baseball team was

Sunday afternoon by the fast
Lees Summit team after hard
founght ten-inning battle. The
Lees Summit team is under the
management of Lee Garvin. an
old Lacquer, who knows how to
train baseball players as was evil
denced by the way his boys
played for him Sunday.
Butler led up to the ninth in
ming when some unfortunate
plays by the infield allowed the
visitors to tie the score and in the
tenth they won out when one of
Them found one of Grimsley's
curves for a home run. =
Grimsley pitched one of his
best games, although he had
pitched and won a hard game at
Urich Friday and the loss of the
game should not be charged to
him.
Next Sunday Butler will play
the fourth game of the Rich Hill
series on the home grounds and
they should be greeted by a rec
apd breaking crowd of fans,
every one boosting for them.
Both teams will be loaded with
the best players they can get and

WON'T TIE UP ROAD FUND
w. G. Irwin Drops Suit to Enjoin
Issuance Of Bonds.

. jefferson City, Mo.-The
state highway department has
been informed by w. G. Irwin,
state senator from Cole County,
that he has dropped the plan to
bring suit this week to enjoin the
, issuance Of the first installment
Of the 60 millions of road bonds.
, +. S. Austin, secretary of the
commission, said today he be-
lieved the protests from organi-
cations throughout the state
against the threat to tie up the
big road building program were
responsible for Twins latest de-
cision. The state senator in
formed Austin he intended lat
er to bring suit to test the action
of the highway commission desig-
mating the 1,500 miles of primary
roads. That will be after the
first installment of 5 million dol
lars of bonds is sold, and will not
be directed at the entire road
program.
Jesse W. Barrett, attorney gen.
eral and member of the fund
commission said today it is bare
ly possible the commission may
find it necessary to bring a
friendly suit to test the validity ,
of the bonds before they are
placed on the market. The at
torney general said he had been
notified unofficially that Irwin
had dropped his plan for attack
ing the bond issue.
The highway department is
proceeding rapidly with it's plans
for letting the first contracts un-
der the 60-million-dollar program.
B. H. Piepmeier, chief engineer,
said today the plan is to use
most Of the 1922 funds available

gram to start next year. He said
here would be some hard surfac-
ng this year, but pointed out
hat the grading is essential, as

before the hard surface.
