McCumber Tariff
Attack Childish
Says Statements That News.
paper Opposition Is Paid
for Betrays Ignorance
of Business.
By GEORGE F. AUTHIER.

=
Washlngton Correspondent Omaha Bee.
Washington, June Is. = Especial
Telegram. Senator Hitchcock Of
Nebraska today denounced in vigor-
Gus terms the arguments advanced
yesterday by Senator McCumber. to
the effect that the main reason for
the opposition to the tariff bill by the
newspapers was due to the fact they
are subsidized by the large sums
spent by importers and the depart
ment stores for advertising.
4 Senator Hitchcock characterized
the attack as idiotic,, childish. pro-
vincial and entirely out of date.
IF there is one thing fairly es-
tablished in the newspaper world to-
day" he Said. "it is that advertising
is placed upon the strictest business
principles and there is not an adj
vertiser of any importance who does
not buy his publicity at the cheap
est price at which he can get it.
There is not one Of them who spends
a dollar if he can avoid spending it.
"Of the millions of dollars invest
ed in New York city in the newspa-
pers practically every dollar is put
into newspaper advertising on the
most cold-blooded business princi-
pie"
In concluding the argument, Sen.
ator Hitchcock said "the senator
from North Dakota has betrayed his
absolute ignorance Of modern busi-
ness methods when he argues that
advertising is placed as favor"
