EVEN REACTI0NARIES
REPUDIATE tariff F
Gov. j. A. c. Preus Latest to
Denounce Fordney-McCunn-
Der Protection Measure
WASHINGTON, July Who

WASHINGTON, July 24.-When
a reactionary Republican candidate
Tor the United States senate Iee,s
it necessary to repudiate the Ford
'ney-McCumber profiteering tariff
act in bidding Tor Republican
votes, there can be 10 stronger evil
dence of the reyul5ioa Of public
sentiment against the .preserc tar
if and no stronger reputation If
the chief economic policy OF the
Harding administration, in the opin-
ion of seasoned observers here.
Speaking to the farmers Of the Red
Wing section of Minnesota, on July
Z, Gov. J. A. c. Preus, Republican
candidate for the United States
senate to succeed the late Senator
Knute Nelson, said:
"The tariff under which we are
now operating mas not proved TO
be the benefit TO the farne: that
was anticipated. The result is that
we now face that fact there must
be readjustment of this tariff
law if the agriculture is to be re-
habilitated.
Through my study of this tar
iff question, beginning as clerk
in Washington in 1909,
have learned that low
tariff, generally speaking, is bet
ter for the people of the North
west. Those who supported the
new tariff law did so despite the
fact that it contained many sched-
ules they thought too hign. They
gave it their support because they
believed it offered a promise OF
help to the farmers through duties
on farm products. I was against
it because / did not believe it
would help the farmers or any
consumer"
This assured not only the repu-
diation of the Republican tariff,
but the virtual reputation Of the
Harding administration whoever
won.
In one statement only is Gov
ernor Preus alleged to be in error.
He says that the Republicans who
supported the tariff bill gave it
their support because they believ
ed it offered a promise of help
to the farmers through duties on
farm products. Democrats here as
sert that the Republicans who voted
for duties on farm products did so
as a sop to the farmers to recon
cile them to the much higher du-
ties levied on manufactured prod
ucts in the interest of special privi-
legged class.

81 EARTHQUAKES ROCK
TOXIC IN TWO WEEKS

TOXIC, July 24-(By Associat-
ed Press) s)-Tokio had a surfeit Of
earthquakes during Juen. Between
the second and fourteenth Of the
month Ga were recorded on the Sc
ismograph, many of them of suffl-
cient force to Waken the hardened
citizens of the capital and send them
scurrying under door jambs, which
are considered the safest places
when mother earth decides to re-
adjust herself. Most Of these
shocks originated in Kashima Bay,
which is IN the earthquake zone,
and fortunately did no damage.
DR.. Fusakichi Omori, authority on
earthquakes and volcanoes, has as
sured the peolpe that, despite the
recent restlessness Of the earth
which will continue for some time,
TOXIC is a region comparatively
free from danger. The shape and
formation of Japan, according to
DR.. Ormori, make it peculiarly sus-
ceptible to underground disturb
ances. The volcanic zone lies along
the inner Japan Sea side of the
arc formed by the island, with an
off-shoot at right angles in Inc di-
rection of Mt. Fuji. The earth
quake zone lies along the outer,
Pacific slope of Japan-the border
of the Pacific on all side Being
the scene Of greatest earthquakes.
The superstitious believe that ia
ran rests or a huge fish and earth
quakes are caused by this fish be-
coming restless.
