.RAMSEYER SEEKS
VIEWS ON TARIFF
Asks Each Member of House
for His Stand on Rates
Affecting District.

In letter sent out TO every member
OF the House, Representative G. w.
Ramseyer, Republican, Of Iowa, one OF
the leading members Of the House Ways
and Means Committee and possible
candidate for the speakership, is seek
ing : the views Of members on tariff
rates. He Is asking each member To
advise him confidentially as to whether
any rates which affect his district are
too high or too low, considered from
the standpoint Of the difference In cost
Of production here and abroad.
While Representative RAmseyer does
not say so in his letter, the inference
drawn from it is that after he has made
o survey he viii seek to have rates
which he concludes are not properly
adjusted revised either by legislation
or through the Tariff Commission and
the flexible tariff provisions Of the law
Representative Ramseyer holds that
1t is time to abandon gef1eralitieS in
dealing with the tariff His position il
in line with that Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee and many leaders in
Congress who are calling on critics OF
tariff rates to say definitely to what
rates they object Mr.. Haniseyer. how
ever, indicates he is making the tariff
survey on his own initiative and with
out partisan purpose.

the coming session of Congress and
attempts made to change some of the
rates. Rumors are current that some
OF the Democratic leaders favor a 20
per cent horizontal cut in the industrial

Democratic leaders have not yet agreed
on any given program.
Production Cost is Yardstick.
Representative Ramseyer. in his let

points out that both parties are com

In order to help in this he asked each

Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile

Monday we talked about a
two-piece frock that was one
of the cleverest things we've
seen SO far, but. today, we go
one better. This time it's a
three.piece ensemble that is
actually three distinct costumes.
Unlike the frock of yesterday,
this is strictly for daytime wear.
Dots Vice Versa
But, let's begin at the be-
ginning. First, there's a one
piece, sleeveless frock of smooth,
flat crepe. This is white, pat
termed in coin dots Of navy
blue. Polka dots are getting
smarter and smarter, as you
know. The inevitable and in
comparable tri-color is carried
out by a touch of red at the
neckline. Next. there is a
redingote, a fitted coat of flat
crepe, which very ingeniously
turns the table on the frock by
reversing the order of the dots,
for. in the redingote, they are
white dots on navy blue. Then,
to cap the climax of this un-
usual ensemble is a smart, full
length coat of navy blue. 1t
conforms to both the dress and
redingote by having lining
like the redingote (white on
blue dots) up to yoke depth,
which is finished out by the
blue-dotted white of the frock.
This top coat is belted and
finished with a becoming scarf
collar.
A WOman'S FrOck
While this is a frock especially
becoming to a woman, it will be
equally good on more youthful
types. If you are planning
trip this summer, you will find
this invaluable, for you will
have three costumes that wont
take up any more packing space
than one.
Miss LaVille will gladly answer
any questions about this en-

The difficulties which confronted
the Kennewick Irr; alton district
in regard to the water rights ct
Prosser last week have been rom
ed out, and the directors are loo
ing for word from the reclamati, I
department that work may pro-

Conferences with Mr.. Taylor OF

the Prosser dam have developed to
a stage where he has waived his

An announcement made thru the
public press the first of the week
by the reclamation department
that certain approved appropria-
tions for continuing reclamation
work would have to be temporary

returns from the various projects
indicate that not all the conten,-

it is hoped that the work of re-
building the Highlands plant, ex-
cept for the power canal and gem

originally planned.

expect to have word the latter
part of this week that the final OBJ
jections to the local project have
been satisfactorily disposed of and
that immediate action can then

GRANGE ASKS
HELP ON ROAD
FROM STATE
Pomona Auunal Meeting Con-
siders Many Problems; To
eMet at Hanf0rd Next; Re-
ports Submitted
By p. c. Durdle

A number of members of the
Grange council met at the Vale
Grange last Saturday to confer
with Robert Cowan in regard to
steps that might be taken by the
Grange to assist with the farm
marketing program of the local
community. Mr.. Cowan suggested
a yearly meeting of the Grange
council and the cooperative mana
gers of the county on farm mar
keting problems of the county as
one of the steps that might be
taken to develop greater interest
in the marketing problems.
The use of the market news SER
vice or the devotion of few MIN
utes of time at each Grange meet
ing to report on present market
conditions on commodities in which
the community is interested, and
the present trends in prices was
another feature which Mr.. Cowan
felt the Oranges could well devote
time to.
Another suggestion was a round
up meeting in each community,
preferably sometime during the
winter, at which time anyone could
present and discuss his system of
marketing. At this time those in
terested in cooperative marketing
could tell why they had been mar
keting thru these channels and the
results they had been getting and
those marketing thru private chan
nels could do the same thing. In
this way it would be brought about
in the community better under
standing of the farm marketing
problem of the community. These
ideas were all adopted as being
good and the Grange is taking
steps to arrange for the carrying
out of the first two in the near
future.
During the afternoon MI. Co
wan stressed particularly the
changes that were being made in
farm practices, production as we'll
as marketing. While these changes
are sometimes questioned as being
of progressive nature yet they
are changes which are coming and
which must be reckoned with. He
