POLICE TRY OUT
TOWER CONTROL.
TRAFFIC SYSTEM
Short Period Experiments Are
Conducted During Afternoon
to Gauge Time Limits.

Try-ou of the tower signal system
of traffic control % Washington st.
between Alabama st. and Senate Ave,
was begun under the direction Of
Traffic Captain Michael j. Glenn this
afternoon. It was to be continued
until late tonight in order to work
out tne proper time to be allowed for
movement Of traffic north and south
or east and west at various periods
Of the day.
From the tower, erected by Frank
Wolf of the H =. VVasson Company,
in Washington St, just east of Me
ridian St. Traficman George Cox, a
ten-year veteran in this police divi-
sion, flashed a green light, giving
east and west traffic the right of way;
an amber light, meaning go" for
north end south traffic, and a red
light. compelling all traffic TO stop
while street car sturned into or out
of the traffic streams.
Motorists are to pay no attention TO
the lights on the tower, which. for
the present, serve only as signals to
the trafIicmen at street intersections.
Since all change their semaphores
in unison with the lights on the
tower, it is possible under the
new system Tor a vehicle TO 90 from
: Alabama St, to Senate Ave, or vice
versa without being stopped. The
new system was expected TO facilitate
downtown traffic considerably.
Ft,,.
portant change from the old. At pres
ent street ears turn into or out Of
Washington St. with either the east
and west or north and south stream,
rs the case may be. Under the new
plan street cars cross Washington or
intersecting streets the same as be
fore, but they cannot turn into or
out Of Washington ST. until the red
/ tower light is on. When the red light
is on all other traffic stops. This Will
prevent the danger Of accidents TO
pedestrians and vehicles from street
ears entering or leaving traffic streams.
For the try-out Captain Glenn
+ ordered that the east and west and
Horth and south streams be given
forty seconds each in which to move
during the early afternoon when con
( gestion is light From 4:30 o'clock
through the rush hour Glenn esti-
mated a minute and a half should be
given to east and west and forty sec
onds to north and south traffic. For
the in ana out street car movement,
from fifteen to thirty seconds was TO
be allowed.
Those arc univ :rntafixe 4erio.7,
and may b. changed il today's ex-
pertinent proves them wrong.
Permanent use Of the new system
viii not be started for n few days.

in the building Of enormous fortunes for the
benefciaries of the system.
In pursuance of this latter policy, the Repub-
lican party, as soon as it got control Of the Ma
tional Administration, less than two years ago,
began to tamper with existing tariff schedules.
Wipe Out Oppression
The Underwood-Simmons tariff law, enacted
by the Democrats soon after President Wilson
took office in 1913, had wiped out the oppressive
schedules of the vicious and unpopular Payne
Adrich tariff law The Underwood Simmons
law has worked out scientifically and proved so
satisfactory to the Nation that after the Bepub-
licans came back into power some Of their lead
ing Senators advocated that no changes be
made in it.
But powerful interests which had supported
the Republican party in the 1920 election de
mandcd that the party keep faith with them.
Their demands were met in the form of two
tariff bills, in reality proftecrs' bonus bills en-.
acted by a Republican Congress. The first Of
these was the emergency tariff law and the sec
ond the Fordney- -McCumber bin, which only re-
Gently became a law
The emergency tariff law gave farmer a
tariff on some agricultural products, but at the
same time gave the meat trust, wooden trust and
other combinations using the farmers products
as raw material, compensating tariffs which
brought them profits totaling hundreds of mil
lions Of dollars.
Farm Products Lower
At the same time farm products began to de-
cline in price. Certainly this emergency tariff,
enacted for the benefit Of the farmer, according
to the loudly proclaimed statements of its spon-
sors, resulted in nothing but loss to the farmer.
The second law, the Fordncy McCumber law,
established in many instances higher tariff than
was set by the Payne-Aldrch law of years before,
law which turned out to be one of the most
unpopular ever enacted Economists and tariff
experts have characterized the Fordncy-McCu Cum-
ber law as the most iuiquitous and unjust tariff
law enacted by an American Congress- It
has been denounced not only by the Independent
press, but my some of the leading Republican
newspapers of the country
This law will increase exorbitantly the Ewing
expenses Of every family The larger the 1c1ily,
the more burdensome will it prove, and as the
largest families most often arc found in the
homes Of those least able to bear increased living
costs the burden will fall heaviest on the masses
of the people
