The World and All


A young woman writes me from New orlsanE for
information about the possibility Of her selling certain
writings Of hers for newspaper publication. She DE-
scribess the articles, which sound very learned in the
prospectus, and then adds:

should give you the young voman's name. Shed feel
bad about Il when she gets o little older and has seen

The Farm Tariff

Senator Charles Curtis less than six months ago
~ss informing the senate that the only relief posi-
bic for IN. agricultural interests az the United states
wa contained in the major principles IF the McNary
HaBrcn bin.
The nomination Of Mr.. Curtis as running mate for
the standard bearer appears to have chanEct his views
materially. The Kansas leader Is now advocating a
higher tariff a. the major need of agriculture.
III his recent addresses throughout the agricultural
sections the vice presidential candidate has persistent
IN advocated higher tariff for farm products. includ-
inr those Of which the country produces a surplus.
he has applied the soft pedal " the McNary-HauErn
program. Indicating a desire not 70 touch uron Presi-
dent C~cclidrcs veto ~ that measure and Hocvers ar

II Is very true that a higher tariff will ala certain
branches Of agriculture. but Mr. Curtis and the party
he represents has had eight years in which % correct
the unequal tariff schedules. Every plea for the arri-
cultural interests for equalization az tariff benefits
has met n rebuff from the republican leaders. when
the republican party promised relief for agriculture in
1929 party leaders Offered the same ranacea Curtis no~
Offers higher tariff-bUt throughout the four sue
cecding years consistently refused 70 apply that
remedy.
Equalization Or the tariff. adoption of the funda-
mental principles az the MrNary-Haugcn bill and gov
ernment aid IN connection with the organization Of CO.
operatives will solve the agricultural problem. II. as
Mr. Curtis proposes. the tariff vs. increased. cotton,
wheat, corn and livestock growers will receive no MAJ
terial benefit. OF these products the country pro-
duces a surplus and under present conditions that sur
plus fixes the price. Il Is these products the McNary-
Haugen measure was designed TO protect. and Mr.. Cur
lis was an enthusiastic advocate If the bill until he
was selected As the running mate for Mr.. Hoover.
For over half a century the republican party has
advocated a higher tariff as the only panacca for the
ills Of agriculture. The party has refused 70 recognize
any other method, plan or program But. while mereltf
advocating protection for the farmer, they have in
creased protection for other industries without equal
izing that accorded to farm products. In this respect
the present tariff is working an injustice upon arri-
culture and 70 this unequal protection may Be attrit-
uted most Of the presen difficulties Of the industry.
Governor Smith has announced a definite policy III

Lineup Same as Last Year
With Addition of Pollock

Oakland A. A. basketball team will
play its opening game of the season
tomorrow night at 8:15 when it will
meet the strong Kingwood indepen-

Buck" Killen, Hen" McComas and
Pollock on the forward line, with Nal
ly and Hanst as the defensive men.
Kahl, Stanton, Kerchival and Sanders
will form the reserve material and
they have been showing up well in
practice sessions lately. They will in
all probability get into the fray.
The final practice session will be
held tonight and the Oakland boys are
preparing to make this season as sue
cessful as the one last year. The adj
mission will be 25 and so cents and the
veteran ticket men, Messrs. E. G.
Naylor and Harry White will be in
charge of the gate. There will be a
preliminary game at 1880.
Games are now pending with the
Altoona Overlaads and the Cumber-
land Knights of Columbus teams to be
played in Oakland during the Christ
mas holidays.
q certainly hope that the basketball
fans will patronize the opening game
and those to come" the manager said.

team is properly supported we will be
able to book some very high class at
fractions here this winter"
