The well known menshevik party
member Rostov and B. Vassiliev, mem
Der Of the central committee Of the
party, proposed once to the rest Of the
prisoners to organize political
demonstration against the regime. The
majority of the prisoners refused to
participate, and the group Of Georgian
mensheviks replied thus:
IF in answer to our hunger strike
the Soviet government were to have
an investigation and inspection made,
even the ultra-anti-Soviet commission
of European socialists would declare
that altho the Soviet system and
Soviet justice is bad. the regime in
the Suzdalsk prison is satisfactory"
So the Georgian mensheviks felt
they could not get away with it and
therefore considered It bad tactics to
protest.
And who are these 1900 prisoners?
They consist of monarchists. four
White Guard generals, social demo
Gratis, social-revolutionaries and an
archists. Such as took part in the
Moscow explosion of 1919 when seven
prominent Communists lost their lives
and scores were seriously wounded.
This explosion was organized by an
archists during Denikin's march on
Moscow.
But the Second international and its
adherents considers these 1900 "he-
roes" and attacks the Soviet govern
ment for not letting them free" Al
the same time they say nothing
against the Imprisonment Of the
$4,000 workers and peasants In CAPT
talist countries.
The Second International and its adj

Soviet Russia because they want to
hide their own perfidy to the workers
and peasants in capitalist countries
where $50, 200 militants are imprisoned
under unbearable conditions.
The leaders Of the Second Interna-

issue so as to be able to continue to
pose as a friend Of the workers and
working farmers. They sit in parlia

lowest levels since the war of 1912.
The tariff question was brought up

1893, by the Republican leaders and
the tariff was. lowered three per cent

recommended reduction of 29%5.

tariff in his first annual message to
Congress December 1855, but the
House refused to consider any bill

pointed to the surplus of S93 1856, ,5SV

year he devoted the eptire annual
message to the tariff situation.

TARIFF

Tariff is the duty imposed on Ger.
tain imported or exported articles.
More specifically, the term is used to
designate the list of articles together
with the amount of the specified
duty Tariffs may be imposed for
protective tariff i7- to establish a
home industry to take the place of
the foreign trade, by means of which
the market may be supplied. the
rates being settled by the govern
ment or by an international agree
ment.
The first tariff to be introduced in
the United States was to meet the
interest on the s75.00O,000 made by
adding the states debts to the full
face value and unpaid interest of the
old national debts under the Confed-
Grafton. An annual revenue of over
$4,000 900 was needed AS the for
eign trade was large, it averaged less
than ten per cent, besides providing
revenue for running the govern
ment. The duties levied would en-

protect ting" them against European
competition.
Again after the war of 1872 it was
necessary to levy another tariff to
rect the debts of another great war
This was done by the Tariff Bill of
1916" All sections of the country
contributed to the passage of this
hill, for, although less than five per
cent of the country were in the
states south of Virginia in 1916,
these states hoped to build up mills
and factories like those in the North.
But the tariff of 1916 did not stop
tie Importation from England, there
fore it was necessary to levy another
tariff in 1924. This passed the House
by small majority 1t raised the
average duty from 20 per cent Since

ernment, and large surplus was
piling up in the treasury, the addi-
tional tariff of 1924 was to protect
the pricess of our goods against COM

In 1928 the northern woolen and
iron manufacturing mills demanded
still higher protective tariff. This
tariff passed the house with a Large
majority and it was called the tariff

Mckinley bill was pa-sed until 'sThe
Dingey Tariff Bill" of 1894 quickly

Da-sed by the House contained sub

restored the protective features, so
that the Payne-Aldrich Bill, as finally
nassed by the President. differed but
slightly from the existing Dingley-
Tariff Of 1897
These Tariffs brings US up to a
very recent one, ''The Underwood
Tariff Bill during President Wilson's
first term of office. The question of
tariff was spoken of in his first brief
address of April 8. 1918; he spoke Of
for revision. However, in 1886 the
the revision of the tariff alone. His
aim in this was to abolish every
thing that had the resemblance of
privilege or artificial advantage and
make our business men and produc-
ers better workers and masters than
any in the world The tariff bill,
bearing the name of Oscar Under
wood of Alabama, passed the follow
ing September. President Woodrow
Wilson signed the bill with great sat-
sfaction. This bill reduced the av-
erage of duties to 26 per cent from

BLOSSOM SCHOLARSHIP FUND
FOR SHLETERING HOME

The Denver Sheltcring Home for
Jewish Children has during the past
week received touching reminder of
| the love and devotion with which the
name OF Blossom Reiter is cherished.
Thanks to the generosity Of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. II. Reiter of New York City
the children at the Home were able to
commemorate the birthday of Blossom
Reiter with theatre party at the Or
pheum and feast OF goodies after the
performance.
Many friends Of the Home have he
come familiar with the memory Of the
child so honored through the blossom
fund. 1t represents the solution Of n
grief-stricken mother who had vainly
| sought an oulet for that which welled
up in her heart when her beloved
daughter Blossom was lost to the fam
Reiter has found it possible to convert
the cherished memory into living
force for good. The income of the
fund which Mrs. Reiter' has built up is
now devoted to the vocational training
of some of the older children at the
Home who are about to strike out on
their own resources.
To Mrs. Reiter the knowledge that
these worthy children are henetiting
from the memory OF that daughter
must be indeed comforting. The cele-
bration OF Blossoms birthday is an
event In which the children of the
Home are especially happy to partiCi-
pate. All OF those who are associated
with the Denver Sheltering Home take
this occasion--the week of Blossoms

has just been celebrated. the Board of
Directors OF the Home wish to extend
sincere thanks to the many friends who
volunteered the use of their cars In
conveying the children to and from the
Theatre.
The editor of the Jewish News IL as
sured that the Blossom scholarship
fund is not restricted to contributions
from its founders, but that additions
to the fund are welcome at any time
from those who would join in the
worthy task of helping to lead the
children OF the Home toward an educa-
ton which will make them self-support
ing.
