SS OCiATEO PRES3 JOSEPH WARREN
 FOR HONEY

SAGINAW, Mich, Jan. 9.-Jo- seph Warren Fordney, aged 78 years, member of Congress for 24 years and eo-author of the Ford ney-McCumber Tariff Bill in 1921, died here yesterday as the result of erysipelas.
 Entering Congress after two years as city alderman, at Saginaw, Mich, where he built up fortune in the timber business, Joseph Warren Fordney, during his "A years in the lower House at Wash ington, came to be known as one of the most ardent "protectionists" in the nations history.
 A conservative Republican al- ways, his name is remembered in connection with the Fordney-Mc- Cumber bill of 1921, which he drafted in collaboration with Sem ator Porter J. McCumber of North Dakota. Fordney considered the bill, enacted shortly before his re- tirement from Congress, monu- ment to a determined tariff fight during his entire legislative career.
 Only One Race
 At the time of his retirement, March 4, 1923, he had spent a third of his life in Congress. AS repre- sentative of the eighth Michigan district he was reelected eleven consecutive times. In only one was the result of the race in doubt.
 A protective tariff on lumber was one of his blanks in his first Con- gressional campaign in 1898, and Fordney continued to battle for protection of American industries to the end. He believed in tariff high enough to suit every Ameri- can producer, and in unrestricted of positions to those faithful to the party. The former he considered the keystone to hS policy; the latter he believed vital to the perpetuity of the party.
 Born in Blackford County, India na on November 5, 1853, Fordney lived on farm with his parents

ried men between the ages of twen- ty-five and forty-five, and women will be exempt after thirty-five.
 The phenomenon of bachelors and bachelor girls in formerly much-married Turkey will speedily disappear, for the tax is crushing, doubling the existing heavy income, land and real estate taxes for all celibates of the ages affected.
 The right to fall in love on his own instead of submitting to par ental dictates, is only one of the new liberties of the young man of Turkey. Another is the right to have a career outside the army and government. To good Turkish families, these were long the only professions deemed worthy. Busi- ness was left to Greeks, Armen- ioans and Jews.
 Hard times and Kemal's de- struction of old social traditions have combined to create the new attitude that work is not only necessary but noble. The sons of Turkey now are out after any jobs they can get; they are pouring into banks and business offices.

 6. 0. P. HARD
Former Democratic Candi- dates Denounce Admin
 istration, Prohibition

WASHINGTON, ID. C., Jan. g. Enthusiastic and optimistic Demo- crats from far and wide gave spirited assent last night to the speeches of their leaders in the last three campaigns that arraigned the Hoover Administration and de- manded it's repudiation at the polls in November.
 The speakers at the Jackson Day dinner were former Gov. Alfred E. Smith, John w. Davis and former Gov. James M. Cox. Gov. Smith led off and his speech was especi- ally marked by it's attack on the way the economic situation had been handled. He said that private relief for the unemployed was in- sufficient and he proposed huge Federal bond issue for needed pub lie works throughout the country to give jobs to those who are not working.
 Davis and Cox joined Smith in charging failure after failure to Republicans and in hailing the coming Democratic day.
 Nothing was said about Presi- dential candidates. Prohibition was touched upon more lightly than economic conditions, but it was de- nounced by all three speakers, es- pecially by Al Smith, who called spending $100,0O0,000 year to en- force it was just "flea bite"
