ARKANSAS HAS
CAGE HONORS.
ABOUT NAILED
Texas Can Tie Them If
They Win Remain
ing Tits and Pork
ers Are Defeated
CBy The Associated Press


Although they fell before the in
spircd play OF Texas University. SO
TO IS, Saturday night at Austin, their
first defeat in almost two aso
of play, the Arkansas University
Porkers were back in the Ozark hills
today with their fourth straight
Southwest conference cage title prac-
tically assured.
All they have to do now to sew up
the flag is win their four remaining
games with Rice Institute and the
Texas Aggies, which they are favored
10 do. IL the RaZorbacks should
drop one of the quartet, however,
and Texas should clean up the five
contests still on its schedule, the
race would end in a deadlock, each
with 10 wins and two losses.
While the Texas supporters were
verging on Mysteries at Austin, the
Southern Methodist University quin-
tet was "stalling' out a 26 tc 20 win
over the Rice Owls ut Houston, and
Texas Christian University was
climbing out Of the cellar by down
ing Baylor University, SO to 81, at
Waco. The "stalling" or delayed
passing game employed by the Mus
tangS in their last three encounters
is said TO Guido anything previously
seen in the conference. Several spec
tators were said to have drowsed
openly while the Ponies kept the
sphere out Of play Saturday night.
The Agcies will get a dose of it
Monday night when they entertain
the Methodists at College Station.
Third place in the conference stand
ing will be at stake. Thursday night
the Mustangs take on the Baylor
Bears at Dallas. Rice goes to Fay
etteville for two jousts with the
Razorbacks Friday and Saturday
nights. and Texas plays the Aggics

BY HERBERT G.. PLUMMER
BY HERBERT c. PLUMMER

March 27-Somebody said once
that the government shows more interest in the vel
fare of its hogs and chickens than it does in the chill
dren of the country.
That may have been true at one time. It GER
tainly cannot be said now. If you have any doubts,
then trouble yourself to do a little investigating. It
is amazing just how much the government does love
your child.
There is here in Washington a division of govern
mentnent called the bureau of home economics. It
is the business of the people in this bureau to know
things about children and act on that knowledge.
Bureaus and Buttons
For example, after an exhaustive study there was
brought forth a garment known as a sun suit. 1t is
for small children and designed to expose to the sun
light as much Of the body as possible. and at the
same time afford proper protection to the youngster.
At the present the bureau is looking into this
business OF buttons and buttonholes. Observations are
being made to determine which size of button is
easiest for tiny fingers to manipulate and where but
tons may be most conveniently placed.
Elastic bands and tightly gathered ronper legs
disappeared after an edict from the bureau. War
has been declared on collars. Ample pockets are be-
ing encouraged.
Nor is this bureau the only department Of govern
ment concerned with children. There is the patent
office, always eager to protect an invention that will
make life more comfortable for tots. An amending
flow OF products are being put on the market.
AH0Ie Is d new n1gn Cna1r With an extra wide and
heavy base to insure added safety. with a compart-
r1ent below to keep baby blankets, toys and other
needs.
Then there is a crib having a cover that may be
Slid end-wise along the top to the the youngster while
being dried after a bath. A new folding bath tub has
just recently been patented.
Another invention is a long flexible arm Of metal
to hold a milk bottle firmly, even though the baby
tries to push it away.
The WelI-Equipped Baby
A Chicago bachelor has been granted a patent for
a baby carriage that can be rocked gently by an cleo
trio motor. He has not yet been able to accompany
the rocking with a lullaby.
There is a teeter-totter than can be worked by
Just one child. A spring takes the place of the sec
ond child.
"A baby carriage that will not tip over at a street
crossing has been patented as well as a bottle that
will not roll
A small bottle warmer, electrically heated. has
been granted a patent.
Another in the list is a portable contraption used
to hold water for bathing on the lawn or in the house.
The water may be kept to the depth that the mother
believes will be safe for he baby.
And SO on down the list.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE

Tariff Reciprocity

The agricultural interests of the Northwest, as
represented by the National Grange, have announced
they will oppose any duty on lumber, shingles and
logs in the forthcoming revision of the tariff at the
special session of congress which opens April IS. The
organization previously had announced Chat it would
wage a battle. if necessary. to secure upward revision
of the agricultural schedules.
The principal problem confronting congress in
connection with the proposed revision Of the tariff IS
the necessity for composing such differences Of opin-
ion as presented by the National Grange. That the
agricultural schedules should be revised upward is
generally conceded and will meet little opposition ex-
cept from New England That a tariff on lumber
also should be maintained is obvious, and any fight
that may be made by agricultural interests in oppo-
sition thereto will react to the disadvantage Of agri-
culture.
It is true that some Of the rates in the lumber
schedules are e~xorbitant and should be reduced; but
to remove all protection from the industry merely be-
cause the agricultural interests Of the country use
approximately 10 per cent of the production of the
lumber and single mills would be folly. 1t is the in
tention of the democratic minority. in which they
will have the support of many republicans, to place
the lumber schedules upon q more equitable basis,
but neither the democrats nor republicans can afford
to advocate the placing Of lumber on the free list.
It Is the determination Of leaders Of both parties
to enact a tariff based upon more scientific lines
than any previously enacted. They propose q tariff

smeng al industries. Each industry is clamoring
for special favors at the expense of other industries,
and if such demands are needed, there Is no posi-
biIty of a tariff that will serve the nation as a whole.
Agriculture, as we'll as all other industries, must
recognize the fact that a sound tariff bill Is based
upon what might be termed a reciprocal arrange
ment. IF congress Is sincere in its desire to work out
such a tariff, it will pay no needed to such demands
as that Of the National Grange. The lumber indus
try is one Of the most important in the United, and
If agriculture secures the protection it demands, there
is no logical reason why its should not concede to the
lumber industry the same measure of protection.
It is true that in the present and former tariff
bills the lumber industry has received many special
favors, and agriculture has borne the major part of
the burden. However, as we understand the purpose
Of the proposed revision, congress will endeavor to
~equalize the benefits of protection, and 1t would be
distinctly unfair for agriculture to insist that the
lumber industry be cut off from all advantages which
a fair measure Of protection would assure it.

Governor Johnston Kicked Out

Governor Henry s. Johnston Of Oklahoma was
ousted from office by the high court of impeachment
and his political office holding career is said to be
over-this by his implacable personal and political
enemies.
It Is significant that the first article voted on was
that charging incompetency and the reqisite number
Of senator judges found him guilty. Thus declaring
him unfit to hold the office to which he was elected
for a four year term in the bitterly contested cam
paign and election Of 1926.
Having decreed him guilty Of general incompe-
tency the remaining charges were dropped. He was
on the outside looking in. Lieut.. Gov. w. j. Holiday
was on the inside looking out and the humiliation Of
Johnston was complete.
Two years ago the -Four Horsemen of the Oklaho-
ma legislature sought to impeach the governor. He
had named Mrs. Q. Q. Fammonds as his confidential
secretary. Senators and representatives, regardless
Of political a~ffiliation. declared Mrs. onmon to
be the real governor and a very tyrannical ruler of
the rnonarchia1 brand. They failed to impeach him.
Time dragged along: Johnston dragged along:
Mrs. Han1nonds welded the sceptre of power.
In 1929 the Oklahoma legislature met in regular
session and the anti Johnston democrats and repub-
foan lawmakers determined to reopen the fight of
Impeachment.
They won. Then the governor ran I'D the white
feather and dismissed Mrs Hammond. He declared
he would not reenploy her in any capacity if the
high court Of impeachment would acquit hin Of the
charges. He ran under fire. He deserted his conf
dental secretary. He was thrown out Of office.
Oklahoma has had seven governors. Jack Walton
was inpeached and thrown out of office. and Walton
declared that Henry S. Johnston was one of the men
who brought about his impeachment and removal.
Now Johnston is out of office and Walton has the
last laugh.
Walton is a democrat. Johnston Is a democrat
and the surface signs indicate that the democratic
party of Oklahoma is, for the time being, at least,
facing the breakers.
Three other governors narrowly escaped impeach-
rnent. Now what will be the fate of Gov. William j.
Holiday, democrat. who was born in Arkansas and
made his way to Oklahoma after he had attained his
majority?
Will he concilate the leaders of the warning DEM
ocratic factions and prove to be the Moses that will
lead his party out Of the political wilderness?
