HITS TARIFF BILL
Senator Simmons Says FOrdney
Has Been Misnamed.
SHOULD Be Called a Mortgage
on Americans" He Says.

Washington. May 6.-The taxes
that would be imposed by the pending
tariff bill would be as real as those
composed by the revenue bill and
billion dollars. Senator Simmons of
North Carolina. ranking Democrat on
the senate finance committee, declares
IN a minority report filed today in the
senate.
They must be paid by all the peo-
pie" the report says, Just as those in
the revenue bill must be paid by all
the people and got by the benefi-
carries who have demanded and got
them- The people must not only pay
the taxes on imports which go direct
y into the treasury. but they must paw
the resulting increase in prices of all
the things buy and consume.
Broadly speaking the views of the
special interests who asked these taxes
and got them and of the people who
pay them differ widely in their praise
ment of this measure and its erect
upon the national prosperity
so far as the special interests are
concerned it goes without saying the
taxes imposed are both satisfying and
comforting.
ION the other hand the people view
this bill as a measure all full of mis-
chief and dangerous possibilities;
loaded with innumerable burdens for
them and their posterity.
When the FOrdney bill passed the
mouse tie general puDI4C AeSaA uSu -
as a monstrosity. so grotesque and alb
surd that they took it more as joke
than as a serious attempt at tariff
revision. II did not excite in them
any great degree of alarm, because
they felt sure the senate would re-
write it. and they expected from this
body saner action in their behalf
In these expectation the people
have been disappointed. That disap-
pointment has grown as they studied
the bill. first into surprise and then
indignation at the audacity of the as
sault upon their pocketbooks. and is
finally eliminating into a grim deter
mination TO resist to the utmost this
attempted spoliation-
In these circumstances the people
will be satisfied with nothing short OF
a full exposure thru discussion of this
attempted outra &c inspired by the de-
sire to placate the subsidized interests
at their expense.

 Paris, December 9.-Battling siki has accepted the challenge for re- turn match with Georges Carpenter, conditional upon his reinstatement by the French boxing federation. He says he Is willing to fight for glory only" thus waiving all the money ds- mands for which he has hitherto held out.
 In sporting circles, however. 1t is generally conceded that the fight cannot possibly take place until the boxing federation has completed it's investigation of Sikfs charges that he had to agree to "a frame up in order to get Carpenter into the ring the first time.
 Offers for the privilege of staging the return bout are coming from promoters In all parts of France, but they are not taken seriously by the newspaper experts. who point out that the promoters are risking little in offering millions at this time with everything hanging on the outcome of the federations investigation.
