sMooT TAKES EXCEPTION.
Knows Of Nothing Worse for American
Business Than Tariff Cut.

Business Than Tariff Cut.
SALT. LAKE CITY, May 2 tR.-
Senator Reed Smoot issued a state
ment today taking exception to the
suggestion of Julius H. Barnes for re-
duction in rates of duty in the Smoot-
Hawley tariff act as means OF aiding
foreign trade and business recovery in
the United States.
II do not know OF anything worse
for American business today than a de-
mand for another revision Of the tariff
by Congress said the chairman Of the
Senate Finance Committee.
Replying to the address Of Mr..
Barnes, chairman Of the board of di-
rectors of the United States Chamber
of Commerce, at the annual meeting OF
the chamber in Atlantic City yesterday
the Utah Senator said:
Julius H. Barnes states that the
tariff liz responsible for the drop IN I'M
ports and asks for its reduction. 1t
would be desirable that men Of respon-
sibility examine the facts before max
ing such statements. II they o1d so:
they would find that the reduction OF
imports is due to the depression.
Cites 1880 as Example.
mfr, Barnes need only examine any
oeriod before and since the passage OF
the tariff bill--for example, the iast
half of 1880 compared with the last
half of 1o2S-and he will find that the
total imports dropped about S67OOUO.-
600, of which $400, 100000 was in duty
free commodities and therefore not az
fected By the tariff.
over 500 900 900 was In dutiable
Inquiries, which were naturally anecteo
simply by decreased buying power. Inc
drop in the balance Of dutlaole imports
is affected by the same causes as those
which have affected free imports. and
If the drop Is greater In this minor
segment Of dutiable imports. IT repre-
SCENTS employment to American WoIK-
men and the American farmer In Tune
Of great distress. ,.
the situation. he would specify on what
commodities the tariff Is too hlgn he
would then present such scheoules 10
the Tariff Commission for revision.
The commission is the agency OF con
press for that purpose and has ample
means for taking care Of any legitimate
complaint which he may wish to make.
Commission Orders Cut.
1T may be noted under resolutions
Of the Senate that number OF items
which were assumed by the opponents
of the tariff as too high were referred
TO the commission for revision. The
commission since its organization In
January has dealt with 30 separate
items in 8 or 9 different schedules. the
commission found instead Of being TOO
high 4 of these items were too low, IA
were correct and but IL required re-
duction. and the commission ordered
a reduction.
1T would be desirable to know
whether Mr.. Barnes believes that the
world would be benefited by pulling
down the standards Of living in the
United States by giving employment TO
people abroad instead Of to American
workmen and American farmers. MY
own belief. borne out by all experience
of our own people, will benefit the
world as a whole through increasing
the purchasing power Of the American
people 4"

DAVIS OPPOSES CUT.
Tells Mail Carriers Tariff Reduction
Would BE Blow at Existence.

QUAKERTOWN, Pa, May P.-
Drastic reductions in tariff duties were
opposed tonight by Senator Davis.
The Pennsylvania Republican, ad-
dressing the Eastern Pennsylvania Mail
Carriers Association, said such action
would constitute "a mortal blow against
our national existence"
The address by the former Secretary
of Labor followed recent statements by
Senator Reed, Republican of Pennsyl-
vania. who opposed reduction in rates.
and w. w. Atterbury, former Republican
national committeeman from that State,
who indicated he thought tariff rates
too high.
Times are bad enough now" Davis
said, adding that labor is cheaper than
it ever has been in the United States
in comparison with other economic fac
tors.
Criticising tariff tinkers" and "free
trade propagandists," he said 1t would
be time enough to consider drastic
tariff reductions or free trade policies
when the chief industrial and COM
mercial nations Of the world will have
established for their peoples living
standards and wage earners' buying
power comparable to those prevailing in
the United States"

PHONE CO. RECALLS
QUESTIONED STOCK
Sale of $1,000, 900 Issue to
A. T. & T. Stopped by
Utility.

Although defending the legality Of
its procedure in Issuing $4,000. 900 worth
of common stock September 80 last, the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co.
yesterday notified the Public Utilities
Commission of its decision to recall
the issue, which the commission had
had under investigation
The Public Utilities Commission held
that the stock was issued without its
permission, as Is required under the
terms of the public utilities act, and
also that the stock was issued to the
American Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
a foreign utility and holding corpora
ton which the commission considered
to be in violation Of the La Toilette
anti-merger act.
Aff1rms Illegality.
Corporation Counsel William w. Bride,
approached by the commission for a
decision on the question, held that the
telephone company's stock issue was
illegal on both grounds.
In defense Of its action, the company
stated that 1t had the power, under its
charter as corporation, to issue
$15,000,0 900 worth OF stock. and that
previously issued stocks totaled but
$1Soo0,oo0. Sale OF the stock to the
A. T. g. T. Co. was at par and the
money used to take up short-term
notes in favor of the A. T. & r. Co.,
on Money loaned for new construction.
In a letter signed by r. A. Van
Orsdel, general counsel, the company
states:
Regret Opposition.
1--WE are very sorry that the view of
the commission should differ from ours
regarding the proper procedure for the
100000 stock issue o. this company
on September 80, 1880. The officers and
directors of the company were and are
OF the opinion that they were acting in
accordance with the law In the issuance
of the stock.
However, since the commission has
questioned the legality of this issue the
company has decided to recall the stock
and cancel the same on its records"
