 We have often found previous re- publican tariff bills taxing fertilizers and taxing the other necessities of farm life, but on this article they are starting to make a new rule. Under the act of 1909, known as the Payns- Aldrich act, this article was on the free list. Under the present law, tho law for which the democratic party stands responsible, it Is on the free list. Such competition as comes comes freely to hold down the price l and this Is not alone for the benefit l of the American farmer The Amer l ican consumer gets the benefit O I this.

TARIFF BILL NOT
 ID HELP FARMERS,
 UNDERWOOD SAYS
Alabama Senator Points to Tax Upon Products Needed by Agricultural Interests
 in Proposed Measure
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The AgeIHsr


 Washington, May 11.-eSpeeial)-- The contention of the republican ma Jority in Congress that blessings for the farmers are contained in the pending tariff bill, is false. according to Senator oscar W. Underwood of Alabama
 In brief statement in the Senate, bearing on arsenic and arsenious acid, used by farmers in preserving their products and in killing boil weevlls. Senator Underwood pointed out the fact that the republicans would take from the free list all fertilizer in- gradients and farming implements and impose on them such duty as to check and possibly eliminate impor- tation
 The farmer will find out the real facts before long" said the Senator, , and he will learn that if he keeps company with you at the polls. he will have to pay for the privilege"
 Reviews BiIrs History
 Further, the senator said:
 Let me review a portion of the history of this bill I understand that some of our republican friends who are very friendly to the American be of great benefit to him because 1t raises the tax on his wheat at the custom house. I will not go into that question. l have never believed that such tax was of any benefit to the farmer. But we are having placed before us glaring pictures to Illus trate how the bill is going to benefit the farmer by an increased tax on wheat an increased tax on certain classes of cotton. neither of which will ever be of any benefit to the Fo lNeV @ta I..Y1 t..a Down under the cover, however, there are found in the bill short par agraphs. which nobody digs out. tax ing the necessities of life vital to the farmer, taxing the necessities by which agriculture lives. When the present law was written not only were all kinds of fertilizer which might come Into the United States and be of use in the development of agriculture placed on the free list, but binding twlne for the wheat farmer and cotton ties and cotton bales for the farmers of the south were likewise placed on the free list, because the bulls of the wheat crop had to go to foreign market, a free-trade market. for it's ultimate | market of consumption and fight in that market with the wheat raised by men who did not pay taxes on their binding twine; and the same was true of cotton.
 'Thefcotton must be baled and bag ged, and half of the crop had to 20 to free-trade market to fight in competition with cotton where there was no tariff levied on the bales and the bagging. The present democratic | tariff law put those articles on the free list Under the terms of this bill to hap hoa l. | tax list and tax them once again. and yet there Is nothing in the history | of this country to show that eithei | of those industries has been de | stroyed.

ment and referendum ballot, which
will be on a separate sheet, Judge
Bradley gave some good advice that
would be well for all fair-minded
people to heed and pass along to
their neighbors. He said if one was
not sure just how to scratch this

to such persons to scratch "yes" and
vote mo" on every one of them !;
that while some of them might be
meritOrious, like No. 3. that such
of those could wait, while If No. 10

should pass, it would bring the day
of doom to Democracy in Missouri,
which was intended to be done. So,
in this connection don't forget that
it will be we'll to be careful how you

SENATOR CARAWAY AND
JUDGE BRADLEY SPEAK.
Judge. Bradley Discusses State Is
sues and the Senator National
Issues.

Unites States Senator Il. H. Cara
way of Arkansas and Judge John
H. Bradley Of the Springfield Court
of Appeals spoke at the High School
auditorium in this city Saturday
night in behalf of the Democratic
candidates.
Considering it being Saturday
night, a fine crowd of both men and
women were present, being estimat-
ed at not less than $50.
Judge Bradley, who lived at Ken
nett prior to his election to the ap-
pellate bench, devoted his speech en-
tirely to State issues. He showed
how taxes on corporations and in
comes had been reduced, and how
the valuations on farm lands and
personal property had been increas-
ed to make up the deficit. He also
quoted figures to show the unwar-
ranted extravaganza in the expend-
itures made by the various depart
ments of the State at Jefferson City.
He discussed some of the referen-
dunn measures that will be on the
ballot at the election, and showed
the iniquities of such bills as the
judicial re-districting bill which
will appear on the ballot as propo-
sition No. 10. On voting the amend

his olden days. 1t seems he had also
drifted about over West Tennessee.
and over there met and formed an
acquaintance with our Charles e.
Bragg Of Caruthersville, whose ma
tivity was there, and from whence
he came to Missouri 1t seems that
Senator Caraway was about that
time in the picture taking" busi-
ness and made "tin type" of Mr..
Bragg. which he yet retains among
his collections of relics from the
diversified past. Mr.. Bragg came
over from Caruthersville with the
Senator and the two seemed quite
chummy.
The Senator devoted his address
almost entirely to national issues,
and showed how the vested inter
ests of the country had been re-
lieved of excessive taxes placed upon
them during President Wilson's ad-
ministration, and how the burden

of the farmer and laboring man. He
showed plainly how the great con-
centrated wealth of this country
owned and controlled the Republi-
can party body and soul; how these
money kings had furnished the
campaign slush fund that had put
the Republicans I'm power and how
the Republicans were paying them
back by giving them all they want
ed in the proflteers' tariff.
He severely arraigned President
Harding for his veto of the soldiers
bonus bill after promising during
the campaign that he would ap-
prove 1t. This was done, he said,
SO that the tariff bill, carrying boz
nus for the profiteers might become
law. which did become law by
his signature after he had vetoed

the compensation bill for the world
war soldiers.
Senator Caraway appealed for the
reelection of Senator Reed, saying
that while they had differed on
some questions, yet on other essen
tial Democratic measures, Senator
Reed was as sound as any man in
the Senate, and that Missouri ought
not to send another Spencer to
shame the good name of the State.
He; denounced Spencer for his de-
Tense of Newberry, and said that
while Newberry had retained his
seat by majority of four votes, the
case was not closed, and that 1t
would be re-opened after the new
congress convened, and that Sena-
tor Reeds vote was needed to oust
Newberry from the Senate.
Senator Caraway pleased and en-
tertained his hearers from first to
last, keeping them in good humor
and laughing at his jokes and droll-
cry. Quite number of Republi-
cans were present and they, too,
enjoyed the Senator's quaint and
ready wit, all but one sitting till
the close of the speech.
Capt. b. f. Allen introduced both
speakers in few brief but appro-
pirate remarks.
