SENATOR SMITH AND THE TARIFF.

Senator Smith, of South Carolina, does not think is mere
coincidence that New England textile factories declaring
great dividends weeks after the enactment of the
Fordney cCumber tariff One with capital of $780,
dividend per and another
with capital of $4,000 has declared stock dividend of 1898
per cent OF course these which began good
while with small capital and the profits have been put into
the business the has waxed great But prices have
generally advanced since the tariff went into effect
they began before that The avowed object of the
w was shut competition and allow the domestic
acturer to name his own prices and he is doing it.

competit. on with European vessels.
Their testimony showed that the diff
ference In these wages does not ex-
coed two per cent John c. seager,
Jr., y.ce-president OF the Seager
steamship Company, admitted in the
hearings that there is no reason why
American ships cannot compete with
the world under present conditions;
his ana other companies are doing
it. The only difficulty he saw was
that some of the American compan-
los paid very large salaries to un-
necessary executives, some of them
as high as 100000 per year, great
err than that of President Harding.
The bill provides for the Shipping
Board to make subsidy contracts
with the shipping trust covering
periods of ten years--this to pre-
vent an effective repeal of the law,
for its repeal by a new Congress
would not stop the robbery Of the
peoples treasury. The bill even
fixes 1t so that this fund is not de-
pendent on each Congress appro-
priating the money annually, as II
done for all other expenses OF the
Government.
The bill confers on the Shipping
Board the most enormous and unre-
stricted powers in regard to selling
ships, making loans and subsidy
contracts and in handling enormous
sums of money. The present mem
bers of the Board are rushing about
the country making speeches in
favcr of the bill at Government ex-
pense.
The bill provides more money in
the form of subsidies, by fifty per
cent, than the total amount paid in |
subsidies, bounties and ocean mail
pay by ALI Of the other countries Of
the world put together.
President Harding goes to the
country on this measure and says he
is ready to stand or fall with 1t. 1t
seems certain that any citizen who
considers these facts, taken from
the minority report on the bill. will
agree that the President who would
support such a steal deserves to fall
with the bill he advocates. The

Davis of Tennessee, Rufus Hardy, OF

State Tax Commission at Frank

Frankfort to go before the State

to 100000, and when the County
Board of Supervisors met they
raised the assessment $4,000 in ex-
cess OF the 100000 asked by the
Tax Commission, and the State Tax
Commission has not until this day
approved the work done by the
County Board.
Their excuse was that some 4 or
5 persons in the County had taken
appeals against the Boards action
and could not approve them until
they were tried out in the County
Court, which trials were heard some
time ago and the judgment render

WEDNESDAY, JULY IL, 1922

President Harding has gone to
the country to sound sentiment on
the pending Ship Subsidy Bill. I'm
fortunately, he will not tell certain
facts about the effect of this bill
he is so intensely for the measure
that he will sing its praises, with
none present to state to the audi
ence the following truths which the
people are entitled to know:
The bill proposes to turn over TO
the shipping trust $4,000, 900, 900
worth of fine steel ships built by the
Government, the most modern feet
in the world, most of them OIL
burners. The people of the United
States own these ships. The bill
proposes ito sell them to this group
of capitalists for $500, 200, 900, or
one-ffteenth of their cost.
The bill also proposes to lend
these men SIPS, 100000 to recondi-
ton the ships. If they had been
properly cared for during the Hard
ing administration this would not
be needed. 49,, rs~.fi 1851,
The bill provides for the payment
of subsidy of $3.50. 100000 to the
capitalists in the next ten years for
using this great grab of ships for
their own private gain. During
three recent years the Atlantic Gulf
and West Indies Steamship Company
made clear profit of 100 per cent
on its shipping business without a
subsidy; the published reports of
the company show this, and 1t Is
merely used here as an example be-
cause il is one of the largest of
American companies. During the war
some ships earned their entire cost
in one trip. There is no reason why
any of them should fail TO be self
supporting at any time,
This subsidy will be paid even to
the ships OF the Standard Oil Com
pany and the Steel Corporation for
transporting their own products in
their own ships for their own profit.
Is it any wonder they are all TOT
Harding? And the passage of this
bill greatly increases the list OF call
ing places for the campaign fund
collectors of the Republican party
when Mr.. Harding comes up for re-
election Is 1t any wonder, there
tore, that Warren is for the bill?
Under this bill the army and navy
transports will be abolished-sold
fo- junk at great loss-and the
business turned over to the trust
when We already have the ships
built and paid for-not only the
transports. but the merchant fleet
in our own possession. Is there q
business man in the country who
would make such a deal?
The bill does not require any re.
ports TO be made to Congress and ne
accounting as to earnings of these
ships. yrhus the people will never
know how badly the Republican
party sold them out.
The bill exempts the shipping
trust from the payment of all Fed
eral taxes. providing the amount II
set aside for the building OF new
ship, and all the time the party Il
claiming that too many ships are al
ready built for the business beini
done, under a Republican admins
tration.
The bill makes no provision FOL
regulation of freight rates on tn
water aud creates a gigantic comb
nation which can make rates as higl
as it chooses and leave the shipper
helpless. Whether they will maxi
the rates high can be determined b.
barking back 10 the open robbery o
the war rates.

WEATHER SERVICES
WILL BE DIRECTED
BY RADIO STATION
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-An inter
nationally owned and operated wire
less station and weather observation
station on the shores of Baffin Bay. to
supply data for the worlds weather
services. has been proposed, and steps
are being taken to insure its in
stallation.
Baffin Bay is pretty far north, as
glance at a map of the top of our
continent will show. cold winds blow
cheerlessly much of the time, ice and
snow hold sway over the land and sea
for good portion of the year, and the
life of those stationed there, cut on
from the world except by radio, would
not be of the easiest; but the value
of their services to the world would be
inestimable, it is said
Officials of the United States Wealth
er Bureau are enthusiastic over the
proposal and will urge the participa-
ton of the government in the cooper
alive scheme. They point out the val
liable work of the international wealth
er observation station on the lonely
little island of Jan Mayen, of the
southeast coast of Greenland, where
reports are sent to all the European
government meteorological services, as
well as to the Canadian and United
States weather bureaus.
Mr. V. Bjerkus Ekerold, a Norwegian
scientist and meteorological, through
whose efforts the Man Magyar station
was erected, has been in this country
and Canada for some time in the in
terest of the proposed Baffin Bay
/ station.
