Measure Designed to Aid
Farmers Presented to
House.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May THE
administration new tariff bill de-
sired primarily to protect American
agriculture and some of the suffer-
ing American industries like the
textile manufacturers was intro
duced in the house by w. c. Hawley,
chairman of the ways and means
committee.
It proposed substantially in
creased duties on cotton, wool and
silk fabrics, sugar and some Of the
agriculture commodities, and many
other scattered imports. It's de-
cdeases were few. and these chiefly
to aid agriculture.
Official notice that it will cause
a major fight between the two
parties was served Immediately from
the floor when Hawley made de-
Tense of the increased levies and
Representative John Garner, Demo-
cratic floor leader, assailed the
secret method by which the Repub-
licans had written it. He could not
attack the bill itself because he had
not seen it.
The new rates made it evident the
committee had not been influenced
by protests which have come from
abroad, particularly from Cuba and
South American countries, concern
ing the proposed increases on
products which they export to this
country in large quantities
The sugar tariff was raised to 8
cents a pound with the usual 20 per
cent deduction allowed Cuba.
The tariff on meats which the Ar
gentine ships in, were increased ma
terially. but hides were left on the
free list.
Corn which also comes from Ar
gentitne was raised 10 cents hun
dred pounds.
Hawley pointed out these in
CreaSeS on agricultural products
were necessary.
The major industrial increases
were made on fabrics in answer to
the appeal from New England and
southern mills.

The ratio Of young criminals
In this country is increasing, &C.
cording to a census report issued
yesterday which says that smaller
cities have more crimes than
larger ones and that the lack Of
nome ties tends to promote law
breakers.
Persons between Is and "a
years of age made up 1915 per
cent Of the prison commitments
In 1928 whereas citizens of these
ages constituted only 49.7 per
cent Of the general population.
In many cases unsatisfactory
nome conditions were indicated
as causes,
Cities of from $4,000 to 100 .OOC
snow the highest commitment
ratio, 28.6 per 100000, but they
are just lightly above places with
from $500 to 10000. According
10 the census report cities of
!U,OOO to $4,000 are the best be-
haVed. Crime was found more
prevalent in the city than in the
country.

mat criminals are migratory,
moving from one community to
another.
