and better things i'll the South has
been placed under Indictment, per-
force, by the Administration that
helped to confer the powers OF
leadership upon him.
In some of the other Southern
states the Administration IS not
having much better luck. Senator
Dial is charging that the Republi-
can National committeeman IN
South Carolina, Joseph W. Toll
bert, is and has been selling Fed
eral offices for money. Tolbert is
not only the oldest member OF the
Republican National committee IN
point Of service, but has been NOM
mated for the position OF United
States marshal in his state, and the
Judiciary committee OF the Senate
has for months been engaged IN
the effort to determine his fitness.
The charge is that Tolbert divided
the State into districts, in each
of which he has stationed a hench-
man, the alleged plan being to sell
the Federal offices for half the first
years salary. Sums ranging from
5000 to $1,000 would thus be
raised. and Senator Dial says that
evidence has been produced in ath-
davit form to prove that Tolbert
expected to realize hundred
thousand dollars from the Syste'n

forced by circumstances to take
seriously these very serious charg-
es against the conspicuous repre-
sentatives of Southern Repubh-
canism the emotion of enthusiasm
for the party cause in the South

ture of the case. National leaders
are likely to conclude that not
much Roadway can be made in
that section until some first class
funerals shall have been conducted.

Nevertheless, this project OF

New Duties Increase
Living Cost
tBy United PreSs.)

tBy United Press.)
Washington, Aug. 10.-America's
cost of living bill will be increased
approximately $S0,0O0,000, as result
of the duties levied on importations
of cotton, wool and sugar in the
McCumber tariff bill, Senator
Gerry, Rhode Island, Democratic
whip" charged in statement to-
day.
This figure, Gerry indicated,
probably would be doubled if the
other duties in the bill, affecting
food and clothing increases in the
bill were tabulated
The added cost to the consumer
because of the $1.84 per hundred
pounds on duty on Cuban sugar is
$210,000,000; the wool clothing in
crease is S550,000,000; and the cot
ton bill is $l10,000,0O0, the senator
asserted.
Figuring the costs for an average
family of five for one year, Gerry
reported the increases will be, SUI
gar, S4.25; wool. $25; and cotton,
$4.S5.
The per capita increase, the state
ment said, would be approximately.
sugar, $85; wool, So; and cotton.
$97.
The daily increase because of the
tax on sugar, Gerry stated, would
be approximately .04 for the family
of five members.
Increase in the wool clothing bill,
for a family of five, the statement
added, was figured on the basis that
the father would buy two suits
year, the mother two wooden suits,
and each of the three children, one
suit year. The $25 boost in the
clothing bill does not, the statement
continued, allow for wooden shirts,

stockings, undergarments or over
coats. If these were included, 1t
was indicated, the cost would be
about s. more year for the family.
In tabulating the cotton bill only
ordinary wash goods were included
in the compilation, according to the
report.
"The McCumber tariff is placing
a heavy burden on the American
people, already suffering from bad
conditions" said Gerry. Every ne
eessity of life is taxed in spite OF
the fact that most Of Americas IN
dustrie3 At this tire dc rot need the

"Come right on in. Sambo," the
farmer called out. "He won't hurt
