PRESIDENT PLANS
TAR|FF.SHOWDOWN
Veto Of Pending Bill Seen if
Expert Revision Clause
Excluded.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,

President Harding will make a fight
for a tariff commission with broad
powers. He will not sign the pending
tariff bill unless some provision for the
future revision of the tariff along scien-
tific lines is included in the measure.
The defeat of the Senate finance COM
mittee's recommendation of duty on
hides, which would have increased
Americas boot and shoe bill. together
with the developments of the last few
days on the sugar schedule. have con-
vinced the executive that elasticity in
the future is necessary or else the friends
of the present tariff will be among the
first to clamor for change &C economic
conditions fluctuate.
There has been a great deal Of con-
fusing talk about 'non-partisan tariff
board" and again about a scientific
tariff" What Mr.. Harding is aiming
at is to do away with the rigidity of
tariffs and an excess of special privilege
when the national welfare may demand
elasticity.
The government has a tariff board
today, but its data are dlsregarded, ac-
cording as political influences have
their way either in democratic or re-
publican tariff making. The vote in
favor of free hides Wednesday was
accomplished by the aid of sixteen
democrats, who voted with twenty
three republicans. and thus oyercame
the opposition, consisting of nineteen
republicans and seven democrats. This
is an instance of bipartisan tariff
making, which reflects the tendency
of the Senate to work in groups and
blocs. Irrespective of party principle.
Vote Trading Admitted.
In other words. the most explicit IL
lustration that has ever been given
of the dangers of tariff making by
Congress has just been concluded.
Senators on both sides of the politi-
cal aisle frankly admit that there is
bargaining and trading in votes. To
get the support of a senator from
one state who Is interested in a duty
on sugar, for instance, another sena-
tor will promise to support the rate
on sugar if his colleague will help
him on the wool schedule.
Thus tariff making Is an individual
process with the special interests of
each state or a portion of state in
fluencing the votes SO that the. final
product of Congress is q hodge -podge
OF bargains and trades which repre-
cents the best political compromise
possible and bears no direct relation
to the national welfare only as acci-

Victim Well Dressed and Likely
Killed Miles Away From Spot

The badly mutua,ed body of well
dressed white man, who evidently

of a small rope before having his
head and wrists slashed open, was
found partly concealed in a clump
OF bushes under a culvert on a small
road near Centerville, just outside
of the District line. early this after
noon.
A hasty eXamiatnion by the police
resulted in the conclusion that the
man had probably been murdered at
some other spot and the body
brought to the unfrequented road
where its discovery was unlikely to
have occurred for several days had
not the supposed mUrderers fed be-
fore properly concealing it.
Probably StrangIed First.
The rope with which the man is be-
lieved 10 have been stransled was still
tied tightly about his neck The fact
that his skull had been split open and
the arteries of both wrists slashed,
however made il possible that deaS
might have been caused by any of the

stretched. and a trail Of blood led from

house. around it. and then off in tine
direction of Washington.
Likely Murdered in City.
The latter fact leads the police to
believe that the victim was brought
from Washington to some lonely spot,
killed. and then dragged to the spot
on the road. His clothes, too indicate
that he was city-bred and probably
had been used to living we'll Refine

Immediately upon the arrival Of
Sheriff Pumphrey from Marlboro. or
ders were given that no one should
be allowed TO touch the body. and that
il should not be moved from the po-
sition in which it was found until
after the coroner had arrived and
convened jury These orders pre-
vented search of the clothing to as
certain il any letters or papers had
been left by which the victim might
be identified
Shocking sight.
The pedestrian who first found the
body was too shocked to attempt any
such examination himself and before
others could arrive on the scene the
police issued the forbidding orders.
The road on which the murder is sup
posed to have occurred is about a mile
from Meadows. and connects that Mary
land town with Reds Corners. 1t is
only short distance from the Marlboro
pike.
Maryland authorities Immediately re-
quested the District police to lend assist

The murdered man was described as

GOOD POULTRY SUGGESTIONS
OF Great Importance That Feeding
Utensils Hs Kept Absolutely
clean-Osher Hints.

"Watch the feeding utensils" Is a
suggestion of more Importance than
most poultry raisers realize. The
water basins are of great Importance
because many contagious diseases
may be spread through the drinking
water. Wash and scaid all water bH-
sins once week. Each morning
when filling the water basins empty
all the old water out and rinse the
basins before refllling. Place the
basins well off the ground so that the
birds will not scratch straw and dirt
into the water Locate the food hop
pers so that they will be perfectly
dry at all times.
Other important suggestions as to
good sanitation are:
1. Be sure that the birds have
plenty Of fresh air.
2. Sunlight is good germicide.
3. Clean yards are essential to good
health.
