Farmers Tariff "a Pinched Back Gold
Brick"

The farmer emergency tariff was de
nounced by Senator y. .. Stanley. as
IA pinched back gold brick in speecs
before the Jackson day dinner in Kan
sas City Sunday night. The result of
emergency tariff. so far as the farmer
is concerned is nil said Stanley, the
price of cotton. cattle corn and wheat
has gone down instead of up since
passage of the tariff.
Coming into power in an era of un-
eXampled prosperity" Senator Stanley
said, with the unemployed not TO be
found between the seas and labor re
ceiving the most magnificent reward
ever known in the annals of American
enterprise, the Republicans promised to
maintain prosperity. To adjust and
Stabilize business and business condi-
tions. and this political and industrial
equilibrium and the president dubbed

During the present week the Senate
tabled resolution. previously passed
by the House, providing for an inves-
tigation by "a joint commission of the
action of Gov. Edwin l.. Morrow, in
sending troops TO Newport. to quiet
a situation occassfoned by strike in
rolling mill. Some of the citizens of
Newport had complained that the pres
ence of the troops in their city was OBJ
iectionable TO them. and that il was
costing the safe $1,000 a day to main
tain the soldiers there.
The consensus of opinion in the Sen
ate was that this was all executive mat
ter. and as such, not properly subject
to review by the General Assembly.
Louisville, which has a Republican
city government. is seeking legislation
from the General Assembly designed to
free tfrOm the control exercised by
solid block of 10000 negro voters With
more than 10000 white majority, the
Democrats of Louisville claim that they
are still unable TO reclaim the local
reins, because the Republicans are able
to vote the blacks solidly and, the Dem
ocrats allege. use repeaters. Two years
ago. when the Republicans had control
of the Legislature the repealed the reg
istratiOn certificate law, which the
Louisville Democrats now want re-
stored.
Enactment by the Legislature in rec
ord time of the cooperative marketing
act, which was sponsored by Robert w.
Bingham the Louisville publisher, has
given a great impetus to the movement
to pool the Burley tobacco crop OF Ken
lucky. and. in an allied movement OF
the entire country.
The low state of the tobacco market
for the past year has been source OF
much distress in Central Kentucky,
where Burley predominates, as well as
the western section, which is devoted 10
dark tobacco. That the dark tobacco
growers will organize under the pro-
visions of the cooperative act next
year is being freely predicted.
