Democrats, whose strategy will be 70
hammer away to focus public attention
on the economic depression and hold
the Republican party accountable for
it by pointing to the Hawley -Smoot law.
Efforts May Succeed.
Experienced politicians are aware
that almost any issue related to unem-
ployment Is powerful one, and that
II the Democrats succeed in getting up
an argument on the tariff 1t will help
to keep the depression before the reo-
pie as a political issue.
There Is no longer any doubt that
the economic situation will furnish the
paramount issue, with the Democrats
charging the tariff helped to accen-
tuate the depression, while the Re-
publicans will insist that II 1t did have
any effect at all 1t was to protect the
United States against the dumping of
cheaply made goods and to prevent

Joined Representative Smell Of New
York, chairman of the House Rules
Committee, in criticiMng the present
tariff as an exit eme piece OF legislation.
Wider Cleavage Sought.
The Democrats saw their opening and
began to lombard their opponents In
the hope of making wider the cleavage
between the factions Of the Republican
party. Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt OF
New York, who is in the lead for the
Democratic presidential nomination, has
come back from Europe with the state
ment that the Hawley-Smoot law is
one OF the principal causes OF the de-
preston in that 1t has interfered with
the purchasing power OF European
countries and the rest Of the world.
Dr. Julius L. Klein, Assistant Secre-
tary Of Commerce, who made a trip 10
Europe to investigate the effects OF the
American tariff law, told the National
Foreign Trade convention in New YORK
this week that Europe had raised higher
tariffs and that 1t was an exaggeration
to claim the Hawley-Smoot law was
responsible for any material loss OF
trade. DR.. Klein Is so close to President
Hoover that any remarks he makes
about the tariff may be taken to be the
administrations position.
The net effect of these speeches Is 10
commit the President to a defense OF
the Hawley-S moot law and to drive
the Republican regulars into camp to
present a solid front. Mr.. Hoover, OF
course, contends that the defects in the
Hawley- Smoot tariff can be corrected

TARIFF 1882 ISSUE
HELD INEVITABLE
Democrats Fighting to Draw
G. o. P. Into Presidential
Campaign Discussion.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

No matter how the economists may
plead that the tariff be taken out OF
politics, Republican and Democratic
leaders are beginning another tariff de-
bate that may last until the 1882 presi-
dental campaign is ended.
The Democrats have been trying for
several weeks to get the Republicans
into a public discussion Of the merits
of the Hawley-Smoot tariff law passed
by Congress last year. The Republicans
have been reluctant to be drawn into
it. especially since so many of their
constituents and supporters in the
financial and business communities
have lately been vehement In their de-
nunciation of the law. Men like Gen.

TERRITORY FACING BIG DEFICIT

With budget estimates cal ing for appropriations totaling $2, ,572,451 dollars, the Territ- ory of Alaska is facing a large deficit by the close of the next biennium, as the total of all revenues for the same period is estimated by Territorial Treasurer w. G. Smith at ap- proximately S1,890,000.
 Thus the budget total ex- ceeds the prospective income by about $S5,OOO.
 The budget report submit ted to the legislature by Treas urer Smith discloses that the treasury surplus as of March 1, last, amounted to but $596,- 233.67, hence if the legisla- ture makes available the ap, propriations called for in the budget and the revenues do not exceed Mr. Smiths estimates, by March 1, 1883, the Terri tory's surplus will be wiped out and a deficit of $85,827.69 will be incurred. As most ot the cannery taxes, the chief source of revenue, have been paid, the balance now on hand except for poll taxes, levies or business, occupations and pro. fessions, together with some minor assessments, constitutes most of the working fund fol the current year.

DEVEL OP M ENTS IN
 ALASKA LEGISLATURE

Reports from Juneau this week indicate that the tenth legislature is fast getting down to business and is working in apparent complete harmony. Up to March 13, the date of the last reports, number of important measures had been introduced. The legislature has also displayed a tendency to overlook the impending bud get deficit and admonitions lof Governor Parks to confine appropriations to the actual seeds of government by in- troducing new legislation car frying substantial appropria- tions:
 A bill proposing an increase of $5 in the bounties on wolves and coyotes, raising the bounty from $10 to $15, was introduc- ed by Fred. B. Johnson, Fair banks.
 Fifty thousand dollars has been proposed i'll appropria- lions in measures now in both houses for the promotion of the fur farming industry. Rep resentative Bragaw introduced two bills, one asking for $5O,- 900 for experimental fur farms and creating a fur commission, of five members, the other ex- tending aid to fur farmers and appropriating $4,000 for the biennium.
 Rep. Mcdonald, Fourth d. vision, introduced a measure authorizing the governor to create a commission to study old-age insurance system and recommend a statute for en- actment by the next legisla- ture.
 Revision of the Territorial laws respecting business col, porations is proposed in a sen- ate measure by Senator Shat tuck, First division. The pur, port of the bill is said to be toward liberalizing the laws relating to the organization of domestic corporations in an eff fort to induce such companies to organize locally, instead of in the States.
 Senator Diamond introduced a measure to authorize banks to give and the Treasurer to accept collateral security in place of surety company bonds to insure Territorial deposits in banks.
 A bill by Senator Hess would amend provisions of the com piled laws of Alaska relating to personal properity that may be mortgaged.
 Rep. Ziegler, First, presented a measure designed to assist the logging and sawmill in- dustries by establishing pre- ferential tax rates on clans and salmon packed in Alaska made containers. The measure fixes a rebate of five cents per case on all clans and salmon so packed.
 A second measure by Ziegler amends existing tax law and seeks to make a raise of five cents per case in the base rates ion all varieties of salmon and clans.
 If the two bills pass, the can- , ner who packs his products in Alaska-made cases will pay the current rate in vogue since 1927, while packers using out

FARM WOMAN ON
 TRIAL FOR MURDER OF DAUGHTERS
State Claims She Sprin- kled Strychnine on Sandwiches for Them at Family Reunion

Lebanon, Ind, Sept 29-UP)- A 51-year-old farm woman ap peared in court to-day garbed 1T her finest, including an Empres. Eugenie hat, as friends prayed she might be freed on a charge of murdering her two small daughters.
 She sat stoically and apparent ly unafraid as lawyers sought 12 jurors to try her on the murder charge.
 New clothes for the trial had been brought to the defendant. Mrs Carrie Simmons, while in jail by her husband, John.
 She sat, never smiling, but never fiinching either while the state asked questions which indicated the death penalty might be de- manded if she were found guilty.
 A tan coat, green and blue dress, tan stockings, and black oxfords, She appeared indifferent, however, to the new finery. indifferent also to the crowd which packed into the little court to hear her accused of poisoning Alice Jean, 10, and Virginia Simmons, 14, her daugh- ters.
 In the present trial, Mrs Sim mons is charged only with the staying of Virginia. The state con- tends she fed poison saturated sandwiches to both girls at fam lily reunion picnic last June 21.
 Officials examined the food and in the remaining sandwiches they found strychnine filled capsules stuffed into the chicken filler. They said strychnine also had been sprinkled over the pickled beets.
 As the trial opened group of Mrs Simmons friends met at a church and prayed that she would be acquitted.
