Senator Walsh of Massachusetts Gets
Figures From Department OF AgrI-
culture.

Washington, June 26.-Increased
prices of agricultural products which
will follow the enactment of the Tar
iff bill mean a tax upon the Ameri-
can people amounting to S1,3l6,564,-
449, according to a statement made
by Senator Walsh, Massachusetts
Democratic member of the Senate FL
nance Committee.
Senator Walsh estimated that the
burden due to the tariff will amount
to S13.15 per capita more than the
present Underwood act and 1888 per
CAPITA more than the former Payne
AldriCh act.
In making up his estimate Senator
Walsh computed the increase in the
proposed duty on agricultural prod
ucts over the Underwood act and then
based his figures of the increased tax
on the American people on the as
sumption that prices on these prod
nets used in the United States would
be increased by that much. The fig-
ures were prepared. he said. with the
aid of the Department of Agriculture.
Added to the food tax, he claimed, will
be an increased cost in the price or
shoes, cotton and woolen goods, fur
niture. building materials and other
manufactured articles.
Senator Walsh made public q table
prepared by the department showing
the increased per capita cost per an
mum on such items would be as tol-
lows: Barley. S0.094; bIrkwheat, So
007: corn. S4.o77: oats, 81 509. rye,
SO.O62: wheat, $1.792; sugar, SO.49O;
beef. fresh. S2.714; mutton, $0.l59;
pork. S0.736; beans. s0.l39; potatoes,
S1.S2S; apples, $O997; total, $lS.l59.
"These figures reveal the terrible
consequences of high tariff duties on
the bare necessities of life," said SEN
ator Walsh. "At the very period when
we are attempting to defiate the enor-
NOUS costs of production and the ex-
cessive prices prevailing az result
of war conditions. it is proposed to
increase the cost of living 90 the Amor
ican people to the extent OF $685.

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, June 26.-An official
announcement has been made from
the White House that the govern
ment will attempt a new move for
settlement by mediation of the strike
in the bituminous coal regions which
has been running eleven weeks. The
nature of the proposal was not dis
closed.
Representatives of the Labor De-
partment Mediation Board are in all
of the coal fields and are doing all in
their power to reconcile the two fac
tions.
1t is known that President Harding
and his advisors do not contemplate
government intervention at this time,
or any such drastic action as the TAX
ing over of the mines to meet public
necessity. This attitude is taken by
the administration due to the fact
that there is no public exigency at
this time.
Should the need arise however, the
government is prepared to intervene
and establish priority in coal distri-
button. This means that the govern
ment, the railroads, public utilities
and the more essential industries
would be supplied first. as was done
during the war.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-06-26

and the more eSSenVldl iIuusIi ieS
would be supplied first. as was done
during the war.
President Harding has been in
formed by the Shipping Board that
the American merchant marine is now
adequate to care for the trade needs
of the Philippine Islands. 1t is ex-
pected that the President will shortly
issue proclamation applying the
American coastwse laws to the is
lands.
This proclamation Of the President,
who was directed TO do this in the
Jones Act at any time after February
/, 1922, provided assurance could be
had that the American fleet operat-
ing in the Pacific was sufficient to
take care of the islands, and which
NAV be forthcoming within the next
few days, is regarded by the Shipping
Board as one of the most effective
steps hitherto taken to provide en-
ployment for the American mer-
chant fleet in the carrying Of the
worlds trade.
"coastwise" laws concerning trade be-
tween the United States and the
Philippines ships of foreign registry
will be banned from participation in
this lucrative trade. American ship
pers have long advocated the applica-
ton of the "coastwise" laws to the
Philippines and the inclusan, of this
proviso in the Act of 1920 was re-
garded as one of the most import
ant features of the act.
It has been realized all along that
the United States must be prepared
for measures Of retaliation and Chair
man Lasker, of the Shipping Board.
has informed the President that he
is prepared for the contest. 1t IS real
lied that in any event the foreign ma
tions will use every device at their
Disposal to get the best of the compe-
tition. The President, it is under
stood. has been completely won over
and is ready to issue the proclama-
tion. which may result in the estab-
fishing of the American merchant
fleet on the trade routes of the world.
Although there are many obstacles
in the way of adoption by Congress of
the practice in vogue in most nations
of permitting cabinet members to ad-
dress their parliamentary bodies, and
giving such bodies the right to cues
ton cabinet officers, the prevailing
opinion here is that ultimately some
scheme will be devised whereby Amer
ican cabinet officers will appear before
Congress at frequent intervals.
Congressional sentiment on this
proposition has not been solidfied in
either House of Congress as yet, and
although the leaders will not express
their views on if publicly. MANY Of
them said privately that they believed
such meritorius scheme would be
worked out.
The proposed plan is that one of
the cabinet members, Secretary
Hughes. for instance, appear before
the House and Senate. meeting sepa-
ratelv. either at stated intervals, or
whenever his presence was required.
He might address the Snnste. for in
stance. on the merits of tho Four
Power treaty. and then submit to
pertinent questions from Senators as
to the making of the treaty, and its
various complications. This practice

MIDLAND HOTEL.

The Midland Hotel Company
granted charter of incorporation
will erect modern - to 100 room
fire proof hotel at Montgomery.
The new firm is capitalized at
100000 and the cost of the hotel
will be about sl5O.O0u. Rcprcscn
tatives OF the company said that
practically every business man in
Montgomery mas promised to take
stock. Several tentative sites have
been secured fer the structure.
Montgomery is awake to the stu
alton and is preparing to take care
of the thousands of people who will
pass her way over Midland Trail.
In fact the name given the hotel is
that of the road. Midland Trail
opened for travel from the Pacific
to the Atlantic will afford the same
opportunities to every town thru
which it passes. Montgomery is
alive to her possibilities and is plan
ming to have the advantage OF being
prepared and advertise her accom-
modations by the time real travel
starts. Other towns that do not do
likewise will be passed and when
they do wake up they will have
strong competition from the other
towns who bid early because their
hotels will have been advertised
and a trade established.
