FARM BLOC ASKS
BOOST IN OIL
RATES

The Senate farm bloc y
swung into action today in an
effort to override the Finance
Committee and boost tariff
protection on all vegetable and
fish oils to new high levels.
Confident that an alliance of
western Republicans and southern
Democrats would. overwhelm all
opposition, sponsors Of the pro-
posaIs claimed everything that has
been demanded by the most extreme
prOtectionists of national farm
organizations.
Not only did they propose to raise
the specific duties on many items,
including linseed or flaxseed castor
oil. olive oil, peanut oil and vcGe-
table talIow, but they demanded ad
valorem barriers ranging from 40
TO So per cent.
Aid Farmers
Senator's Jones tRD OF Washing
ton and Thomas RD Of Idaho led
the fight for higher duties, the
former demanding increases on fish
oils and the latter arguing the
i'm for higher tariff on vegetable
oils The rates proposed. 1t was
claimed, would prove beneficial not
only to western farmers but to
southern producers Of cotton seed.
The amendments hal already
been rejected both by the House
Ways and Means Committee and
the Senate Finance Committee. in
part because the demands Of farm
orSanizat tions included placing of
duties on oils imported from the
Philippines. In an effort 10 avoid
raising this question, the Philippine
oils were laid aside to be threshed
out later. Senator Thomas said.
"Increas sed tariff on these oils
offers possibility Of great benefit
to the farmer" declared Senator
Thomas The oils represented In
these schedules are for the most
part interchangeah and the benefit
would be widely distributed in the
West and south
The fight against the tariffs pro.
posed was led by Senator Sm0ot tD
Of Utah. as chairman Of the finance

Fight Over Chemicals
With completion OF the oil s"hed,
ule the Senate was 10 /n-e mt"
another sQuabble over the chemical
schedules in considering the finance
committees extension of the princi-
pal Of American valuation under
which duties would he boosted.
There was no indication of any
weakening on the part Of the Demo
cratic-proGressiy Republican cOaii-
tion as the Senate swung into the
second week c discussion OF rates on
the bill. Leaders Of the coalition pre-
dicted that the" would ne able to
maintain their ma iority in consis-
tent effort to whittle down industrial

JOHN CHENEY, PARK
SUPERINTENDENT

John Cheney of Morton has been
appointed by the park commission to
act as superintendent of the Birch
Cooley state park, and the position
has been accepted by Mr.. Cheney.
Considerable improvement for the
coming year is contemplated by the
commission and it was deemed ad-
visable to have some one who resided
close to the park to superintend this
work and to have authority to act
for the commission in matters per-
tanning to the park.
The commission considers itself
fortunate in securing the services of
Mr. Cheney for this work. He is so
situated as to be able to give some
time and attention to these matters
and he has the good judgment and
experience to make him a valuable
man. Being president of the Rem
vile County Pioneers Association,
Mr. Cheney is deeply interested in
making the Birch Cooley park an
amusement ground of state wide at
traction and to that end he will lend
his best efforts.-Olivia Times.
