HIGHEST TARIFF
BILL IS PASSED
ADDS THREE BILLION DOLLARS
TO LIVING COSTS SAY SOME
DEMOCRATS.
LONE REPUBLICAN, OPPOSES
Believed G. o. p. VIII Keep "AbomI
nable Measure" In Conference Un-
til After EIections-Three
Democrats Vote For Bill.

Washington - The Fordney-McC Cum
Der tariff measure, characterized by
democratic leaders as 'the most abom-
inal legislative act of an American con.
gress," passed the senate late Saturday
afternoon. The vote was 48 to %.
The duties in the measure are the
highest since. the Grant administra-
ton. AS matter of fact, the $400, ,OO0,-
600 revenue, which the republicans es.
innate will be gained under the meas.
ure, is $50,0O0.OO0 in excess of the rev.
enue from any tariff bill heretofore.
Senator Borah, republican. Idaho,
cast the only negative vote on the ma.
jority side. He announced that Sen.
Etor Norris, republican, Nebraska, IL
present, would vote against the bill.
A similar statement was made by Cur.
tbs concerning the attitude of Senator
LaFollette republican, Wisconsin.
These three democrats voted with
the republicans for the bill: Brous.
sard, louisiana; Hendricks, Wyoming,
and Ransdell, Liuisiana.
Experts virtually agreed that the
average duties of the Fordney-McCum.
Der bill are considerably higher than
those Of the Payne-Aldrich act, which
was speedily repudiated by the people.
1t is also declared the average is high
er than when the measure was report
ed from the finance committee. This
is due to the heavy increase in the ag-
ricultural and chemical schedules.
The bill as passed will add some
thing like $3,00O.OO0,O0O to the bur-
dens now carried by the ultimate con-
sumner, according to hasty computa-
tions made by democratic leaders and
experts.
1t is figured that. the higher duties
on sugar will cost the American pub
lie annually $157,OOO.o00.
Four items in the cotton schedule
will add $1O8,O74,470 to the cost of
clothing. Those cover only long sta
pie cotton, cotton cloth. draperies and
cotton hosiery.
1t is figured that six paragraphs in
the wool schedule will take $195,447,-
O63 from the pockets of the consuming
public. Included In these are raw
wool, yarns, cloth, carpets, dress goods
and flannels.
The detection of Borah did not come
as shock to his associates. From the
outset ne has consistently voted against
the proposed increases and an impress
sion prevailed that he could not ac-
cept the bill.
The bill will be sent to conference
to the house at once. A special rule
will be used to expedite action, If OBJ
jections to unanimous consent are
made. The course of procedure was
decided upon at a conference OF re-
publican members of the house ways
and means COMMITTEES.

REALIZED HIS BAD REPUTE
Untrustworthy Man Had Good Reason
for Wanting His Wife to Give
Alarm for Fire.

William Skaggs was known as the
most untrustworthy man in Klinker-
vile. He had never been caught in a
malicious lie or In circulating even an
unkind fact, only it seemed an impos-
sibility for him to distinguish between
fact and fiction, once his tongue was
loosed. He was humbly aware of this
shortcoming.
Once a small outbuilding caught
fire. He hurried for the water bucket,
and called to his wife, run out to the
road and hOller fire"
"Holler yourself!" she shouted back,
while she ran with another pail.
"Me!" he returned. "Whod come If
1 hollered fire, I'd like to know? If
they did, they'd bring matches and
kindling !"-Philadelphia Ledger.

YOUNG GIRLS NEED CARE
Mothers, watchyorD Daughters'Fealt


From the time q girl reaches the
age of twelve until womanhood is es-
tablished, she needs all the care q
thoughtful mother can give.
The condition that the girl Is then
passing through is so critical, and may
have such far-reaching effects upon
her future happiness and health, that
II Is almost criminal for q mother or
guardian to withhold counsel or ad-
vice.
Many woman has suffered years
Of prolonged pain and misery through
having been the victim of thought
lessness or ignorance on the part Of
those who should have guided her
through the dangers and difficulties
that beset this period.
Mothers should teach their girls
what danger comes from standing
around with cold or wet feet, from
lifting heavy articles, and from over
working. Do not let them over-study.
IL they complain of headache, pains
In the back and lower limbs, they
need mothers thoughtful care and
sympathy.

HIGHWAYS SYSTEM PLANNED

A system OF highways that will
serve the whole country and will be
far superior to any other in the
world lis being mapped out by the
Federal and state engineers. II is
estimated that the system will com
prise 10000 miles Of road. The
Federal highway act recently en-
acted specifically requires that all
Federal aid be spent on connected
system OF highways consisting OF
not less than per cent OF the road
mileage In each state. and that this
system shall consist o. Interstate or
primary roads and intsrcoanty or
secondary roads.
Proposed systems have been re-
ceived by the Bureau OF Public Roads
OF the United States Department OF
Agriculture from all but eight states
They are plotted on n large map OF
the United States and carefully ex.
amined as to coordination with the
roads OF adjacent states and service
to all sections OF the country. Where
coordination is not satisfactory. con-
ferences are held with all interested
state highway officials and routes ad-
jrsted.
Many states have already adjusted
difficult problems with their neigh
bors. As an example. the system
sent In by Nebraska showed biz
zap In an important road along tho
northern boundary. II was learned
however. tha. South Dakota would
follow with system that would NJ
Hike pictures on n toy block. Since
the Federal Highway act OF last No
yember became law. only roads
certain to be on the system have
