was large enough to spend STATS at
the sale, and this in itself assured the
spending of considerable lunch money.

TO INCREASE EXPORTS

In writing to Wallaces' Farmer in re-
lation to our exports of agricultural
products, and the handling of the for
eign debt in a manner to build up such
exports, a Wyoming man says:
81 would suggest that commission
be appointed to ascertain the normal
expenditures yearly of each debtor ma
ton to the United States, and then for
each additional dollar expended by
these debtor nations in the United
States for food products, we would
credit them with a like amount on
their indebtedness. 1t seems to me
this would help the debtor nations,
would increase the demand for Amer
lean goods, and would be especially
beneficial to the farmers"
1t may be recalled that Babson, well
known statistician, made a similar
suggestion about a year ago, and 1t is
known that Senator Kenyon was pre-
pairing to take the matter up in con
gress at the time he resigned. That
this plan would do much to raise the
prices of farm products seems Ger
tainty. Not only would the foreigners
get the goods for which they paid but
their governments would correspond
ingly reduce their Indebtedness to this
country. This would be of benefit tc
American farmers and also to the PEG
pie of Europe, many of whom are II

Lynn Shoe Makers
Refuse Compromise
Union Wage Offer

Lynn, Mass, April 1l-The Shoe
Manufacturers association replying
today to the United Shoe Workers
central rate committees compromise
offer to submit to 10 per cent. wage
cut. said that wage reduction alone
would not be sufficient to sustain the
industry which was now carrying a
load of highly overpaid and unskilled
operation.
The rate committee had suggested
the Is per cent. cut instead of one of
20 per cent. proposed by the manu-
facturers, the new agreement to run
until June 1. 1923. on basis of 40
hour week. The manufacturers insist
that a 80 hour week. is necessary to
enable them to cut down overhead
costs proportionately.
Their communication also objected
to unreasonable interference with
hiring and work of help and other
uneconomic conditions with which
the industry here is burdened. The
refere nee was to the permit system
by which the unions have issued
cards qualifying operatives for work
in a given craft at a stated shop.
The manufacturers also point out
the need for grading factories so that
wages will be uniform on each grade
of shoes and for rearranging wages
on a basis of skill.

GIVEN TO SENATE

Washington, Apr. 11-(By A. P.)
The long awaited administration
tariff bill was presented today in the
Senate. Senator McCumber. Repub-
lican, North Dakota: in charge of the
measure, announced that. to give
senator's time to study it he would
not call it up before April 20. Some
Republican leaders thought it would
be passed after about 60 days of de-
bate but other estimates ranged as
high as three months.
Experts who assisted the Senate
finance committee majority to pre-
pare the bill estimate that the aver
age of its rates is slightly higher
than the average Of the Payne-Ald-
rich law. the last Republican tariff
act. The Payne-Aldrich level was
approximately Al per cent. on all
dutiable imports and n per cent. on
all imports free and dutiable. The
average of the Democratic Under
wood tarff. which the new bill would
replace. WAS anu pVi Stht'
respectively, in 1914. the first year of
its operation and the only year when
trade was not seriously affected by
the world war or after the war con-
ditions.
Comparing this bill with the Ford
ney measure, which the House passed
last July u. and from which this
was rewritten, the experts estimate
that the average of all rates is lower,
though the specific rates and more
particularly those on food stuffs are
somewhat higher. Exact COMPARE
sons of the ad valorem duties in tie
two bills are somewhat difficult. to
the fact that the Senate committee
threw overheard the House Amer
lean valuation plan, returning to the
foreign valuation principle.

Urges Court Cut
Down in Number
Put on Probation

Boston, April 1.-THE necessity Of
firmer treatment of criminals was
urged upon courts today by Cover
nor Charming H. Cox in a statement
declaring that too large a number
Of prisoners brought before the
courts were placed on probation.
I'm the year ending, September 80,
1921" the statement said. ''the
criminal courts of Massachusetts, dis
posed OF 97,122 cases of persons
after conviction of these 80, S45 were
placed in the care Of probation Of
ficers. In my judgement this is too
large number. Figures for the year
ending September 80 are startling in
that they show that on the basis of
/ 900 convicted persons, only 93 were
placed in restraint while 907 were
released on fines.
"I.eniency may have been justified
but apparently the result Of leniency
is becoming a strong factor in max
ing crime increasingly prevalent.
IF men desire to walk the streets
as free men let them obey the laws:
if they prefer to break the laws I'M
der the belief that the only punish
ment to be met with is the amount
OF money they pay for the privilege,
the time has come for change in
the form OF the punishment with Jail
sentences a substitute for the pres
ent existing methods.
Putting men in prison may
sound a bit old fashioned but the
fear of a prison term has long been
a mighty deterrent to criminals. Is
it too much to expect that small
doses of Jail or prison may be made
ar equivalent substitute for the
system of fines and filing now in
force?"
The Governor also called upon
decent citizens" to aid in giving
evidence against bootleggers who
are selling abominable stuff that
drives men crazy II it does not kill
them"
1T has been fashionable in some
quarters to talk about 'favorite boot
leggers' but the danger therein car
ries the situation beyond any stage
for joking"
