Our Daily Washington Letter
Democrats to Boost Tariff
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer


 Washington.-It would seem rather odd if this congress should make tariff increases its only im- portant achievement in the present session.
 When you remember how the democrats for years shrieked against the rates of the Hawley- Shoot act and what big victory those same democrats won in the election, you would hardly be sup- posing that any such thing con- ceivably might happen. You might even suppose that the demo- crats would go on and lower those rates.
 But this congress is not unlike- ly to vote @ law which would au- tomatically raise tariffs against foreign goods in proportion to the depreciation of the currency in the country of origin. And if 1t doesn't there is still fair chance that the next and heavily demo- cratic congress will do that. The republicans are for 1t and pres- sure Is heavy on many democrats.
 The rapidity with which 145 signatures were secured in the house to discharge Q committee from the tariff bill took 0 lot of folks by surprise. And the next congress, regardless of it's politl- cal complexion, will represent the same territory.
 Democrats generally now pre- fer to ignore the tariff issue, de- spite the fact that not long ago 1t seemed to be the best-not to say only = one they had. They tried to bury the bill laimed at de- preciated currencies.
 Such sincere tariff authorities as Senators Hull of Tennessee and Costigan of Colorado are concern trating on the facts of the situa- ton and 1t is generally believed that they and President-elec Roosevelt expect to get together on a tariff bargain policy by which we would trade tariff con- sessions with foreign countries to the mutual advantage of all con- cerned.
 There is no question that some American industries have been hit by competition from foreign countries which have gone off the gold standard-Japan in partic- ular. If 1t Is assumed that the Hawley-Smoot rates were justifl- able 1t may be assumed that e boost of the rates now to meet foreign depreclated currency is justi,abl Trade competition is the chief reason for recently ex- pressed sentiment In this country for persuading the rest of the world especially England, to go

back on the gold standard.


 Embarrassment arising from technical errors seldom beset such foxy old.timer as Jim Watson of Indiana, republican leader in the senate and one of the more prom one when he wanted to make Q ment.
 He sent copies of his speech around to the newspaper core. day. Jim had no doubt that he would be able to deliver that speech in the senate on Tuesday. But some filibusterors fooled him and came Wednesday with the speech still undelivered. And Jim, the majority leader, had to appeal to the senate to grant him unanimous consent to make 1t without thereby taking the floor from Carter Glass of Virginia.
 It was, as Watson explained, the first time in 0 long congress sional career that he had ever asked the privilege of speaking on a subject unrelated to the bust ness on hand. But since news- papers already were carrying edi- torials on the speech he thought 1t should be delivered as quickly as possible. The senate agreed and Jim went ahead.
 No matter what one may think of congress, 1t Is to be hoped that due sympathy will be reserved for Patrick J. Haltigan, the bull-voiced reading clerk of the house who must be able promptly to identify each of the 435 representatives. There will be 150 or more new ones at the next session ana sometimes Haltigan will even have to tell the speaker who is rtying to gain rec- ognitlon. Ho Is now meeting as many of the congressmen-e -elect as possible and studying the photo- graphs of others.

A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
How Soviet
 Revolt Won

The second and third volumes of Leon Trotsky's monumental His tory of the Russian Revolution"
 are now available, and 1t is hardly going too far to say that the full set constitutes one of the most im- portant historical works of the
 present century. It may not become widely pop
 ular; Trotsky's style demands cloge attention and earnest appli-
 cation, and his writing is nothing that you can skim through hastily.
 But if you are willing to make the necessary effort, you will find his story tremendously exciting and Illuminating.
 His first volume, published last spring, carried tho story of the revolution through the spring of 1917. In these two books he de- scribes the attempted counter
 revolution of the summer of 1917. and the Bolsfevik triumph
 In July came the great mass demonstration ih Petrograd where the Bolshevik, leaders, realizing
 that the time was not yet ripe,
 had to work frantically to prevent q premature insurrection. In sum-
 mer came the Kornilov counters attack, swiftly foiled; then, in tho fall, Lenin persuaded his skeptical followers that they could seize the power. t
 The revolution, Trotsky shows,
 was based chiefly on three things: the soldiers desire for peace, tho peasants' demand for land and
 the workers wish for socializa- ton of industry. Of all the parties in Russia, only the Bolshevlks hand any intentions of meeting these damands; hence their vic- tory, given wise and energetic leadership, was inevitable.
 Volumes two and three sell at $3.50 apiece, and the three to-
 gether cost $10. Tho publisher is simon and Schuster; the transla' ton is by Max Eastman.

To provide more game for the hunters of this state the fish and game board proposes that all rod and gun clubs or similar groups cooperate in a unique plan. Game areas would be restocked if these clubs will pay half the cost, the state footing the other half of the bill. No order for less than 20 birds will be accepted and all orders must be in writing. The state can, of course. get better prices on birds than an individual or club. It sounds like fairly good plan.

The reappointment of Colonel Edwy L. Taylor of New Haven to the public utilities commission this week by Governor Gross recalls the fight over this place two years ago. The governor wanted Professor Rich ard Joyce Smith. young Yale Law School expert on public utilities laws on the com mission.

Straw Vote FavOrs
Sewage Plant Here

If the straw vote taken at the
Commercial club meeting Monday
night means anything, voters will de-
eide to vote $4,000 in bonds for a
sewage disposal plant at the election
October 8.
The vote followed a discussion by
Frank Clague who warned Redwood
residents that sooner or later the
state department of health will force
taxpayers to install such plant. He
urged that it be built now when 80
per cent of the cost of labor and ma
terial will be given by the federal
government.
Mr.. Clague mentioned Hutchinson
as town where the state forced re-
sidents to erect disposal plant.
Thirty-three votes were cast at the
straw election, 81 voted for plant,
one voted against it and one ballot
was blank. 1a

COUNCIL APPROVES
PLAYGROUND BEER
OVER MAYORS VETO

The city council passed ordinance
SO over mayors veto Friday night
and under it's provisions, instructed
the, city recorder to issue a license
to the county fair board to sell beer
at the fairgrounds.
The subject has caused consider
able comment since the privilege was
first asked several weeks ago. 1t was
tabled at the first meeting, consider
ed and passed at later meeting and
came up again when the mayor re-
turned the ordinance without his sig
nature.
Parker D. Sanders, president of the
fair board, presented the subject to
the aldermen Friday night, declaring
that having beer for sale on the
grounds will discourage "spiking"
and tend to encourage sobriety. He
promised that the fair will be as Or
derby, or more so, than in other years
and added that no one has complain
ed to him about the matter. The re-
venue is needed to help meet expen-
ses, he said.
Mayor Thorp told Of the letters
he has received, signed by a large
number of residents, commencing
him for vetoing the ordinance. He
declared that 70 per cent of the fair
stockholders were among the sign
ers.
81 don't know the figures off
hand" Mr.. Sanders replied, "But
there are many people who belong to
the organizations who are Directing
that want beer and the board feels
it should be there for those who want
it." 1870
Mr.. Hardy moved to reconsider the
bill and the motion carried unani-
mously. Mr.. Brueske then moved
that the ordinance be repassed. Mr..
Hardy seconded it and it carried
three to one with J. F. Knudson vot-
ing eyes" and George A. Patton "No"
as they did when the ordinance was
first passed.
By instructing the recorder to is
sue license when the ordinance has
been properly published, the neces-
sity of having the mayor sign the IL
cense was avoided.

Home of Cuban Freedom" In
the time of the sinking of the U.
S. S. Maine, which is still one of
those unsolved mysteries, probably
the first man in the United States
to know of the event was Thomas
K. Warren, descendant of an
old Key West family, who was dit
the time working in the telegraph
office and at this particular time
was on duty when the first re-
port came into the United States.
Establish Base
A naval base was established in
Key West in Feb. 1922, under the
commanding officers, Captain L.
T. Patterson and Lieutenant Tut
tie. The house of representa-
tives appropriated the money for
a naval base and work was begun.
Key West had attracted attention
for some time owing to the won
derful geographical position. AS
the years passed rapidly by, the
base grew to fairly large size
and more men were sent here
owing to the complete connection
with Cuba.
Key West rapidly increased in
size from 1915 to 1912 when the
railroad came into the city. Key
West is the only city known to
decrease in population after rail-
road came into. it.
Henry Flagler had had hopes
and dreams of building a railroad
over the Straits of Florida to the
southernmost island, ever since he
entered the railroad business in
Florida. He wanted to see the
railroad connect Key West with
the mainland, so in 1905 work was
started on the eighth wonder of
the world" and in 1912 a $780,
100000 railroad was completed
into Key West.
After that the World War broke
out and Key West was used as a
training camp for the Army, Navy,
and the Air Corps.
Then later in 1924 and 1925
the Florida "boom" started and
lasted until the last part of 1927.
Key West was built and subdivid-
ed in every part and property Of
ten went from and to as many
as four and five hands day.
In 1928 the stock market crash
ed and the so-called depression"
started. Key West now has many
unemployed. The Navy yard,
Marine Corps, and Army post are
practically closed down, and If the
bridges of our lately constructed
Over Sea Highway are not started
in short time this beautiful little
island city of ours will not have
much of a history for our coming
generation to write upon.
