MEN BATTLE FIRE
 ID SAVE BUILDINGS
Every Available Resident 0
 Town Helps With Fight

Columbia Falls, Mont, Aug. 22 P) Every available man of the Great Northern railway and the United States forestry service was fighting desperate battle today to save the town of Belton, on the border of Glacier National park 20 miles east of here. from being destroyed by a forest fire.
 Park administration buildings ,o- cated in the town were in the lm- mediate path of the flames. All equipment was removed from the buildings and loaded on freight cars to be moved if the fire continues it's advance on the town.
 Tank cars of the Great Northern were pressed into service to carry 10000 gallons of water from Cram near here to supplement the water supply.
 Residents of the town except those who remained to fight the flames, were taken from the fire zone on special trains. Regular ttaf- fic on the Great Northern was sus- pended.

OPPOSING
 TARIFF INCREASES
Congressman Surprised at Popu- lar Interest in New Measure

Washington, Aug. p - This town used to be full of people who thought there woldn't ever be any more tar if fights.
 The prevailing theory was that the Democratic party had gone high-tar- if and that the issue was no longer one of dispute between it and the Republicans.
 It was commonly believed that so many democratic senators had in dustries in their own states demand- ing protection that any tariff bill the Republicans cooked up would not be opposed by as much as a corporal's s guard.
 It was also an accepted supposi- ton that the country at large was so thoroughly sold on protection that any now tariff bill. no matter how high it's scale of duties. would be greeted by hosannas from the house. tops and public thanksgiving meet ings at the town pump.
 Sky Was the Limit
 sercnely confident that all these things were true, the rulers of the House of Representative damned through a tariff bill with the slogan that the sky was the limit and no one expected any further trouble. though it was supposed the hard boiled Republican majority on the Senate finance committee would adopt a general program of further elevation.
 Well-already the bill has been for some time in terrible jam and when the finance committees bill hits the Senate floor it probably will enter a period of maceration. No man knoweth the final outcome, hut all sensible persons have had to re- adjust their views about the tariff as an issue.
 In the first place, swell fight has developed.
 In the second place, the tariff is as much a party issue, as it cvel was. Democratic national head, quarters has been issuing unremit ting daily blasts against the House bill and the Republicans of tn, finance committee for months. Mos | Democratic senators have spon sored biting and whitening denun ciations of the bill and Republican

l intentions in general. It actually | looks as if the Democrats were more effectively united against the House 1 bill or anything like it than they 1 have been on any other issue in the 1 last several years.
 Newspapers Critical In the third place-and most inn portant-the country is not in any receptive mood. By such means as the country is able to protest it has i been squawking steadily and some | time ago word came from the White House that a study of clippings showed nine out of ten newspapers actually critical,
 The effect of this popular disap- proval of many of the proposed in creases is plainly to be seen in the sweatings and writhings of Senators Shoot, Reed. Watson and other Re publican leaders now wrestling with the bill.
 The fight on the House provisions has come from many sources--from powerful corporations acting in self interest and from the most altruistic sources at the time. The Sugar Trust. made up principally of American in terests operating in Cuba. led the fight on the House three-cent sugar rate. aided enthusiastically by the carbonated beverage bottlers. unsel- fish individuals and organizations defending the interests of the con- sumer
 Pruning Under Pressure
 Under this sort of combined pres sure. Shoot, Reed, Watson and the others have at least partially caved in. Lately the boys have acquired cold feet on wool and have reduced the House bill rate on that by three cents a pound They're pruning under pressure and trying to make this bill look just as sweet as pos sible under the circumstances.
 Apparently the plan as it will finally work out will give the Sen ate q bill with bigger and better agricultural duties than the House bill. That will tend to appease the farmers and make the bill look more like the measure President Hoover intended it 10 be. On top of that the finance committee will undoubtedly toss overheard quite a few of the tariff seeking interests whose resultant squawks will be po- litically unimportant.
 The subsequent. history of the bill will depend on how many Dem ocrats and ProgrcssVes turn out to be willing to trade. There is a rum or that the Republican commit tee members plan 10 knock out vari- ous southern agricultural products from the House bill in order to make some of the Democrats come to terms.
