GARNER RAPS
TARIFF RATES
Scion Says Discrimination
Against Farmer To
Found in Bill
by II L. SEXTON

~ 80 Nv
WASHINGTON, April 2i-P-
Rank discrimination against the
arrning and stock interests OF the
country IN the formulation OF tariff
rates, was charged BY Congressman
John N. Garner, minority leader,
IN q statement asserting that the
tariff conference committee had
made no effort to establish carity
between agriculture and industry
with respect TO tariff benefits.
Il am an advocate OF protection,
a firm believer in the protective
policy: but I believe protection
should be equally distributed and
that the farmer and stockman
should receive the same treatment
&C the hands OF congress as the
manufacturing interests" Garner
said.
Adopting the highest rates on
practically all items in the tariff
bin, the tariff conference commit
tee has carried out the prediction
made by the minority leader in the
house on April 2, when he urged
adoption Of the senate amendments
instead Of sending the bill to con-
ference.
The sencia bill carried ADEQUATE
rates on all agricultural products
and give the farmer the advantage
OF those rates by reducing indus
trial schedules. The conference has
retained the agricultural rates but
has nullified their value BY increas-
ing practically all industrial rates
TO the level OF the house bill.
The conference rates on hides.
leather and shoes are fair samples
or the discrimination against agri-
culture" Garner said. Hides carry
q 10 per cent duty. On this basis
the compensatory duty on bag, case
and strap leather should be 3.T2
per cent. but the conferees arbit-
rarily fixed the rate at 20 per cent.
On upholstery leather the compen-
Satory duty should be 5ss per cent
and the rate IS 20 per cent. The
new rate viii increase the price Of
shoes from IS to rs cents per pair,
according TO grade.
these figures show the marked
discrimination agains. the cattle
industry in favor of the manufac-
turing interests. On the basis Of
rates on leather goods and shoes
the duty on hides should have been
at least 20 per cent. AS a result Of
these rates the public will be COM
PEELED to pay ~exorbitant prices on
leather goods and shoes. but prac-
tically none Of this increase will
Be passed on to the cattle raisers
Of the Southwest. It E very appar-
net that this discrimination against
the farmers. which can be found
in practically every schedule OF the
bill, will serve to further depress
agriculture and create a more ser
ious economic condition In the
farming sections than this country
ever before experienced.

livery woke him up at daybreak to deliver the
following invitation:
Monsieur de ssrtines hopes you have had
pleasant journey and requests your presence
at luncheon today"
Last and greatest of them all was Napo-
Icons chief of the secret police, Fouche whom
Gloria Swanson immortalized in her picture
Madame Sans-Gene." several years ago.
But the good old-fashioned days, when the
chefs de Surete specialized in collecting scam
dals and reading amorous correspondence for
the Kings edifcation, have passed and Mon
Sieur RoQuere the present chef, has more seri-
GUS things to do.
Imagine a master detective sitting in a big
Office in Paris. supported by highly trained
headquarters staff directing 1000 "inspecteurs'
scattered all over France. He has 200 men in
Paris, although Paris has its own detective
force; 1000 attached to mobile brigades" To-
Gated in Is provincial cities and another 800
mostly in ports. frontiers and railway sta
tons. The chef has only to lift his voice for
he IS in constant telephone communication
with all his men, and every frontier of France
Is opened or closed on the instant.
Unlike America, where every city has its
own police and with little or no co-opera-
ton among them. here in France all the forces
OF crime repression are carefully co-ordinated
II the Surete wants man, heaven help him!
The chef does not have to move out of his
chair to spread his net. In front of him is his
own superb organization
6enno MIN library OF photographs and
descriptions of more than 1000 900 French and
foreign criminals and SuspectS-the most COM
plete bureau of its kind ever compiled At his
right hand a liaison agent with the special
Paris detective force, known as the Judiciary
police" At his left haisoa agent with the
gendarmerie, national uniformed police force
OF $4,000 men under the control of the war
ministry, used for policing small towns and
country districts. These police organizations
have innumerable informers and once the
word goes out millions of eyes in every corner
Of France are looking for the wanted man.
In its entirety, this system of a national
police force Is certainly not practicable in
