to check the hub nuts and the
axle shaft nuts to see that they

TO PASS REPUBLICAN
TARIFF BEFORE IT
ADJOURNS, SAYS SENATOR LODGE
Country Will Approve Bill
when Time Comes for the

Judgment"
(Bv Tho Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. May 2S-Congress will
pass "a republican protective tariff, be-
fore il adjourns, Senator Lodge OF
Massachusetts,, republican leader. de-
clared today in statement outlining his
views on the measure now before the
senate. He predicted that the country
would approve the bill when the time
comes for tBe electorate to pass judg-
ment."
Night sessions of the senate will con-
tinue this week under the tariff program
with items in the metal schedule the
immediate business when work is re-
sumed tomorrow. 1t was considered inn
probable that the move to invoke cloture
as an additional means of expediting the
measure, would be successful.
The republican majority in the sen
ate said Mr. Lodges statement, be-
Heves the policy of protection is the
surest road to the building up and resto-
ration Of our economic interests. That
is the purpose of the pending bill"
Senator Lodge denied that the rates
proposed in the permanent bill would
have an adverse effect on the volume
of trade.
Our foreign trade today is not suffer
ing because of the tariff and we are
living now under the emergency tariff
act, which has higher rates, in many
cases than those proposed in the finance
committee Dlllt senator Lodge declared.
''The democrats seek to give the inn
preston that the increase in our foreign
trade and IN trade conditions through
out the country are due to the Under
wood tariff act, whereas, the figures
quoted by Secretary Hoover show in
creases in foreign trade which have de-
veloped since the emergency tariff bin
became law.
One little thing is interesting and
win prove that the resumption of our
foreign trade is not prevented by the
emergency tariff. During the past four
months we imported in Boston so, 900, 900
pounds of WOOL one-seventh of the total
consumption of the United States. This
wool the importers are holding in bond,
awaiting the passage Of the new tariff
when they can get it in under lower
rates.
This Importation of wool does not
indicate that the tariff is going to destroy
our business with other countries But
it does Indicate that the importers are
the very men who expect under the
new tariff. a boom in business and they
are preparing to take immediate adj
vantage Of the passage of the bill"

they are.

advertised by the board Of county COM

tract for more than s12 900 worth Of high

then, too, the chairman of the com
