der the Republican tariff.
The farmer uses ~horsepads. They
r admitted under the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff. The farmer uses
barbed wire in fencing and for other
purposes. 1t is admitted free under
the Republican tariff.
This free list eliminates a very
large percentage OF what the farmer
buys If prices Of any Of these ar
ticles have gone UP. it is not due to
the tariff.
Coal, both hard and soft, slack,
coke, and all compositions for fuel in
which coal or coal dust is the princi-
pal material are admitted free. There
fore the tariff has not increased the
farmers fuel bill and is not response
BILE in any degree for tn ehigh price
of coal.
Obviously, if wood an dlumber are
on the free list, and change in the cost
of household furniture and other ar
ticles made of wood which the farm

After eliminating the farmers
building material, his agricultural
implements, his barbed wire. his
binding Irvine, his fuel, his fertilizer,
his leather goods of all kinds. his
household furniture and whatever
other commodities he purchases in
which wood enters, what is there left
to charge up against the Republican
tariff?
Whatever is left comes under the

The theory of free trade, and the
only virtue it has, is that it permit:
large imports of goods, which by en-
tering into competition with home

In other words, our manufacturers
have had greater competition in for
eign-made goods since last October
than during any previous period in the
history of the United States. If there
is any merit at all in the free trade
argument that increased imports
mean decreased prices to the con-
sumner, then there is absolutely no
ground for the charge that the Re
publican tariff has been responsible
for the increase in price of any arti-
Gle. If there is no truth in the ar
gument, then there is no argument IN
favor of free trade whatever. The
New York Times and other free trad
ers a take which ever horn of the
dilemma they like.
The New York Times correctly
says wheat has come down." In
connection with its other statement,
the inference is that wheat has come
| down because of the Republican tar
iff. What the Times does not state,
and what no other free trade paper OF
free trade advocate states, is the
fact that while wheat has gone down
in thi scountry since tn e~Republicar
tariff went into effect, it has gone
down even further in othe rcountries
which did not have a Republican
tariff.
1t does not state, and therefore at
tempts to deceive by s%uppressing halt
the truth, that in Canada, which ha:
no tariff, wheat is selling day by day
for z and 8 cents a bushel less thar

MONTANA CROP
REPORT FOR
AUGUST |, 1928

Based upon the apparent average
yields Of winter wheat, and upon the
August 1 condition of spring wheat
and other crops, over $4,000, 900 bush
els of wheat may be expected from
Montana this season, as well as near
ly 23,000,000 bushels of oats, 9,00O,-
600 bushels of corn or its equivalent,
and heavier production than for last
year in barley, flax, sugar beets and
apples. The production of rye and
potatoes will be materially less than
for 1922, and the total crop somewhat
smaller. These are the figures re-
leased a few days ago by Geo. A.
Scott, of the Montana crop reporting
service in the August crop report.
All Wheat.-The total wheat crop
for 1928 is ~forecasted at 53,445, 00O
bushels, or more than 100000 bush
els above the estimated production for
1922. The total wheat production fo1
the past five years has averaged %
$4,000 bushels.
Winter Wheat. = The preliminary
estimate of winter wheat production

BRIEF MORATORIUM
GRANTED GERMANY ON
GOLD MARK PAYMENT
France, Italy and Belgium
Representatives. Vote
for Delay.
BY the Associated Press.

Paris, Jan. 13.-The reparations COM
mission this morning postponed until
January 81 the payment of 00,OO0,0 900
gold marks due from Germany next
Monday.
France, Italy and Belgium voted for
the delay. Sir John Bradbury, the
British member, did not cast a ballot.
There was no discussion of the brief
moratorium or its merits. The French
requested postponement of the payment
in order that they nigh. finish prep
aration of their new moratorium plan.
Roland Boyden, the American OBJ
server, was present at the meeting,
which lasted a half hour. Steps were
taken TO notify the German govern
ment of the delay.
There was a report that France might
endeavor to arrange a meeting with
Germany to discuss a settlement OF the
reparations question, in view OF the
fact that the French are now in the
Ruhr. Great Britain, Italy, Belgium and
possibly the United States were men,
toned as the nations that might be
asked TO attend such'a conference.
In the event that plan for direct
ulSGuSSiOU ldlltus IL was SheFSSANN SAAsN
two-year moratorium, with certain
conditions, would be granted Germany
by the reparations commission in the
near future.
These conditions. according to a
forecast of what France is ready to
grant. would include not only the main
tenance of the economic commission al
ready in the Ruhr, but the occupation
of that entire region in the event Ger
many did not Immediately accept the
moratorium provisions. The German
government would also agree to float

to balance the budget, and to permit
committee of guarantees TO assume
control 70 German internal finance
This committee would function in much
much the same manner as was sci
forth by France at the recent premiers

BAR HERE ACTS
AGAINST ADDING
CRIMINAL COURT
Association Meets Saturday
Morning and Says New
Court Unnecessary.
CITY HALL We
Rumored Proposed Action
Would Abolish Office Of
County Attorney.
CITY HALL NOV

The San Antonio Bar Association, at
one of the largest meetings ever held,
went on record unanimously Saturday
morning as opposed to the establishment
of new criminal court in Bexar coun-
ty. The action was taken when it be-
came known that a bill was to be in
PRODUCED in the Texas Legislature ere
ating a new criminal district court for
this county. The bill, it is understood,
was fostered by the city hall crowd, or
that portion OF it in sympathy with
the mayor, and by the district attor-
ney's office. Its purpose, according to
local opinion, was 10 abolish the BeNar
county criminal court and do away with
the county attorneys office.
The meeting was held in the 73rd
district court room at 10 80 o'clock and
presided over by G. NJ. Chambers. Henry
Lee Taylor, in speaking on behalf of
the bill, suggested that Senator T. II.
Ridgeway. who was then il conference
with the district attorney, be called upon
to explain the bills purposes. Follow
ing the adoption of the resolution set
ting forth the bar associations views
on the matter, however, Henry Diel-
man, representative from this district,
stated that the Bexar county delegation
| had awaited the pleasure of that or
ganization and indicated that the dele
CATION would respect the association's
wishes.
May Stop Agitation.
The action Of the bar association Sat
urday, it is believed, will prevent fur
Their attempts by the city hall crowd
and the district attorneys office Ia
create a new criminal court. 1t had
been planned, It is understood, to give
this court jurisdiction over all cases
now handled by the county criminal
court, and thus do away with that
court. The adjustment of the county
attorneys office also was contemplated,
Il is understood.
The resolution adopted By the asso'
citation follows:
"Whereas it is reported that bill is
about to be introduced in the Begisla'
ture now in session, creating a crimi
nal district court for Bexar county;
"And whereas, there are now two
district courts with criminal jurisdic
ton in this county;
"And whereas the records of said
courts show that the criminal cases OF
the grade of felony arising in this coun'
ty can be easily taken care of by these
| two courts;
Would BE Expensive.
and whereas it would entail an enor
nous expense to the taxpayer of the
county to establish and maintain sucl
criminal district court. And whereas nc
necessity exists therefor;
Therefore, be it resolved that II is
the sense of the San Antonio Bar As
ISOLATION that there should not be sucl
criminal district court established fol
Bexar county, Texas.
And be it further resolved that thu
secretary be instructed TO SEM a copy
of this resolution TO each member Of
both houses Of the Legislature.
