BELL EXPECTS
TARIFF SOON
FOR TOMATOES
Optimistic Upon Re-
turn From Washing
ton After Commit
tee Hearings

SAN BENIT0, Texas, Jan. i5.-It
Is practically certain that a general
revision Of the tariff as applicable
to farm products will be put p ef-
feet, and that tomatoes will be taken
care Of in the revision, said j.. r.
Bell, manager Of the San Benito
Chamber OF Commerce, who returned
this morning from Washington,
where he represented the Valley be-
fore the ways and means committee
Of congress in the interest Of a tariff
on Mexican and other foreign toma-
toes.
Mr.. Bell said that the Florida to-
mato growers are putting up a life
and Seath fight for the tariff. "lt
means practically their existence,
he said. THE people Of the east
coast Of Florida explained that ali
they grow is tomatoes, peppers. and
one or two other vegetables, with to-
matoes as the principal crop, and
stated that IL they arc not protected
from foreign competition IL viii
mean the ruin Of their crop"
Mr.. Bell said the tariff measure
will unquestionably be a republican
measure, and that ii is possible, al
though not likely. that a democratic
vote against the bill as a whole might
prevent its passage. In the last gen.
eral tariff measure, In 1922, the dem-
ocrats voted against il, but there has
been a change in sentiment on the
tariff matter since then, he declared.
The Valley really ought 10 send
at least two good men to Washing
ton and keep them there until the
matter is settled" Mr.. Bell said,
Our interests are somewhat differ
ent from those Of any of the other
interested sections, and someone
should be on the ground at Washing
ton all the time to waite hfor them
He said that the Florida interests
are putting forth every effort they
can to secure the tariff, and tina;
they made a good case before the
committee. They are seeking a pro-
hibitive tariff on Mexico, and other
foreign tomatoes, during practically
the entire year, and, although the
tariff may be lifted during some
months, it is almost certain that IL
will be in force during the months
when the Valley is shipping toma-
toes.
This is the second time Mr.. Bel
has been in Washington as a Valley
representative on the tariff matter,
as he went previously with Brown
White, also Of San Benito, and w. Z.
Mepavitt Of Brownsville.
