REMOVE TARIFF
FROM POLITICS
ASKED IN BILL
Senator Frelinghuysen, New Jer-
sey, Proposes Permanent and
Enlarged Commission
SAYS WARNING GIVEN
Senator Declares Method of
Finding Out Proper Tariff
b Should be Matter of Science
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, June 21.-Machinery
for the construction of what was de-
scribed as scientific tariff based on
the differences between CONVERSION
costs in this country and abroad
would be set up under an amendment
to the pending tariff bill proposed to.
day by Senator Frelinghuysen, Re-
publican, New Jersey, who as mem
ber of the finance committee, helped
draft the present measure.
Under the amendment, the tariff
commission would be enlarged to ten
members and would be required to
recommend to congress not later than
December l, 1923, and each six
months thereafter, rates of duty ne
cessary to equalize the differences in
conversion costs as disclosed by in.
vestigations which it would make.
Would Hold for Life
The members of the commission
would be appointed by the president
would hold office for life and would
receive salaries Of $4,000 each, the
same as cabinet officers. Not more
than five of them could be of the same
political party and none of them could
engage actively in any private bust
ness, trade or profession. ~.
In a prepared address explaining
his amendment, Senator Frelinghuy.
sen declared the present tariff making
system was both "illogical and unset;
entific." Describing that system al
"a compilation Of the statements o1
manufacturers, importers, merchants
and farmers, and of inconclusive data
collected by government agencies in
adequately equipped" the Senator
said the public mind was thoroughly
awake to "the abuses of this system
and to the necessity for reform"
Should BE Warning
"And this awakening should be a
warning to all of US to take the tariff
out Of politics." he continued. 1T has
been said cynically that the tariff
cannot be taken out of politics. 1t is
probable that the theory of what con.
stitutes proper tariff levies always
will remain a political question, just
as it has always been a mater of dis
pute between economists. But the
method of finding out the facts or
which to assess tariffs certainly is
not a political matter"
The New Jersey senator argued
that his amendment would "vitalize'
the tariff commission and would re.
move its members from personal anC
party pressure" by establishing q
fundamental principle for fixing rates
Also, he said, it would give the COM
mission the time, the money and the
authority to frame such a bill as
would "afford actual, not merely sup.
posed protection to American indus.

San Antonio, Tex, June 2l.-The crit
ical stages in the lower Rio Grande val
ley flood which already has inundated
nearly 10000 acres, is expected between
midnight tonight and dawn Thursday
when the crest Of the upper food is due
to reach the edge Of Starr county.
From a stream normally 200 to 300

three quarters Of a mile to mile wide.
The food crest appears to be moving
at five miles an hour, which will bring
it to the lower valley after midnight

paid), and had their picture taken
This picture, Smyth alleges, was pub
lished broadcast with the statement
"the disabled veterans are against a
bonus" .a
Smyth also quoted from his organiza-
tion's magazine to the effect "that the
payment Of bonus will not prevent or
delay taking care of the crippled and
the MANNED veterans and taking care
of the war crippled ought not to delay
or prevent paying just compensation to
all the ex-service men," The disabled
veterans in their last two national

ERIN ELECTION
Common Sense" of People
Praise, and Pro- Treaty Posi-
ticn He'd Strengthened
LABOR ATTITUDE DOUBTED
nv the Associated Press)


London, June 21.-The striking re-
suits of the Irish elections as far as
announced are welcomed here with
enthusiasm, coupled with praise for
the Common sense" of the Irish peo-
pie, whose verdict is regarded as
strengthening the position of the An
glo-Irish treaty and the new consti-
tuition. WI
1t is recognized, however that re-
lection of the extremists at the polls
has not removed all the difficulties
of the situation. The labor vote which
is generally remarked as one OF the
most notable features of the polling,
is claimed for the treaty side, but it
is declared by some observers that
the Irish labor party is far more la
borite than treatyite, and its future
attitude in reference to the country's
politics is unknown.
The Dublin correspondent OF the
Daily Telegraph expressing his views
in this connection, which are support
ed in other quarters, says:
cit is doubtful how far labor will
support the treaty. Labor has it's own
idea, namely workers. republic, in
which everything would be subservi-
ent to the artisan and laborer.
sA'The labor party in Ireland is not
like the English labor party; its ten
dency is toward Bolshevism. How far
it Will support the treaty in the
provisional parliament or how far it
will assist the treaty's enemies no.
body can tell. In any case it is not
likely to become stabilizing influ-
encc."

PRIMARY WARNS
AS TIM E NEARS
FOR BALL0TlNG
Campaign Workers Shaking OF
Apparent Lethargy and Driv-
ing Finish Expected
VOTE OF DENIS. PUZZLE
Conservative Estimates Now
Place the Vote Between
10000 and $4,000

With the primary election one week
from tomorrow in North Dakota cam
paign workers have shaken off the
apparent lethargy that has marked
the campaign and puzzled politicians
of all factions. A driving campaign
finish is expected, though without the
bitterness of past campaigns and
without the flare of drums or display
of banners.
The silence upon part of voters
however, is not taken to means that a
full vote will not be cast. It is expect
ed that the vote will exceed that OF
the recall election, and may range
around 100000 in the Republican and
Democratic primaries. Discussion of
many issues in the campaign from an
economic or business standpoint has
failed to arouse enthusiasm but has
brought sober reflection on the part
of the voters.
Governor Nestos, B. F. Baker and
II. L. Stegner, Republican candidates
for Governor, will be in the field
every day until election. Although
there is lively fight among Demo-
Gratis there is no speaking campaign
conducted by them. The scramble for
county offices in most counties is exr
pected to be an important factor in
getting practically every voter to the
polls. -.
The Democratic vote, which has
been the subject of much discussion,
probably will be between 10000 and
$4,000 according to estimates Of. De-
mocrats who have sought registra-
ton figures from various counties.
In some counties there is decrease
in the Democratic registration while
in others marked increase is shown.
The vote for O'C0nnor in 1920 was
1900; the exact Democratic registra-
ton is not known:
H. P. Goddard has assumed charge
of the Independent campaign in Bur-
leigh county for the remaining days
of the campaign. It is probable that
schoolhouse meetings will be held in
the country this week. !, The league
speaking campaign thus far in the
county has been confined to the
Townley organization meeting here,
meeting Of league women's clubs, Fra
zier rallies near Wing and at Wilton
and the picnic last Sunday at Memo
ken. H. L. Stegner is expected to
speak here the night of June q.
**
The Burleigh County Veterans Po-
, litical Club will hold an important
meeting tonight in Legion hall to
discuss the campaign. ..
Many voters have inquired as to
whether there would be registration
days at the polling places in the city
before election. There will be no re-
gistration dav before the primary.
Registrations were made through the
assessors or may be made with the
auditor.
Endorsement of Senator McCumber
by a large number of newspapers in
the state during the last week, acti-
vities Of Governor Preus, Congress-
man Burtness and others in his behalf
have caused McCumber supporters to
declare trend in his favor has set in
which will roll up good sized ma
