MELONS TARIFF MELON

1t is estimated that the new tar
if that went into effect Friday
morning will make Secretary Mel
lon the richest man in the world.
1t is now a race between HIM and
Tohn D. Rockefeller and Henry
Ford for that coveted position,
Mr.. Mellon is believed to rank
third but the very high duties on
aluminium, steel and other metal
products in which Mellon holds
controlling interests will push him
to the top of the ladder.
When this Pittsburg billionaire
entered Harding's cabinet he re-
signed as 4 director from 81 great
banking and business concerns.
Every place, that he vacated was
filled by 4 member OF his family
and through his family he still con-
trolls the business Of all these CON
Germs, The capitalization of these
concerns, it is said, will exceed s.
OOO,OOOOO0.
The Mellon corporations that
will benefit most by the new tariff
are the aluminium Company of
America, aluminium Cooking
Utensil Company, aluminium Ore
Company, American Locomotive
Company. American Metal Com
pany, Baltimore Car and Foun-
dry Company, Besscmer Trust
Company, Butler Bolt and Riyet
Company, Butler Car Wheel Com
pany. Carborundum Company,
Electric Carbon Company. North
crn Aluminium Company, Pressed
Metal Radiator Company, Stand
ard Steel Car Company, United
States Aluminium Company and
Verona Steel Castings Company.
The above concerns produce
iron. steel or aluminium products
and they are capitalized at over a
half-billion dollars. The Mellon
interests control the entire alumi-
mum industry in the United States
and it is this industry that will
yield the greatest profits to MIR.
Mellon and his family under the
new tariff. This industry is capt
talizcd at $llOOOO,OOO. In the
Underwood tariff the average
rates ON aluminium were 20.+ per
cent. On aluminium ware the rates
have been increased from 20to Il
per cent, The industry has NOW
become an absolute monopoly con-
trolled by Secretary Mellon and
his family.
This industry under the new
tariff will enter every kitchen with
more than 30 per cent AIDED to the
price OF every pot audpanU which
the American peoples meals are
cooked. There is no escape for
the tariff now shuts ont the ZIP
German aluminium ware Mr..
Mellon and his family and friends
will go straight down into the
pockets OF every house wife in the
land. From the new toll on the
humble kitchens of the farm house
and the cabins is to come the
wealth that IS 10 make Andrew
W. Mellon the richest man III the
world.

the entire supervision of the play.

suffering from nervous diseases and
was pronounced as hopeless by the
doctors until Leroy Lamb who took
the part of DR.. st. George Carey
came along and prescribed laughing
as the only cure. The administra-

quite humorous. June Haskell well
filled the role of Mary Ellen Perry.

patient and told her of other people

way with the same disease. The
other parts were well interpreted by
the following: Howard Thomas, Es-

Y. M. G.. A. Notes

There will be another game of the
Augusta Church Athletic League at
the "Y" gymnasium this evening. The
Baptist team will play the Episcopal
church quintet at $50 P. M. and they
will surely have a great game.
Owing to the fact that there were
not enough entries In the swimming
meets last Saturday. the meet was
not held. 1t is hoped that the boys
viii show more interest in these
meets and compete. as the points will
count In the final scoring of the vari-
Gus churches.
The Universalist- Episcopal game
which was played last Saturday was
rather one sided as the Episcopalians
were much out-weighed. They were
beaten by a score Of IS to 8. but they
put ND o plucky battle however and
the game was much more interesting
than the score would show. The sum-
