thorities since the gun battle in the
store in Moak street we're many and

gan to doubt that Dillinger ever had
been in the vicinity of Port Huron,

Youngblood told officers, after he
had been dropped with 10 bullets in
his body, that he had seen Dillinger

Tariff Seen as Issue.

Republicans look forward to the
tariff as a real issue in the coming
campaign. While the Democrats made
the Smoot- Hawley tariff act an issue
in the campaigns of 1880 and 1882,
they have done nothing hitherto about
the tariff-although they have con-
trolled the House for the last three
years and the Senate since the
Roosevelt administration came into
power more than year ago.
The pending tariff bill, which has
been amended in some particulars by
the Ways and Means Committee. is
comparatively brief. 1t lays down the
principle of reciprocal tariff agree
ments between this and other nations
as the best method of removing the
present barriers to international trade,
and it gives the President complete
power to enter into such agreements
and to grease the way by lowering tar
If duties by so per cent. He also can
raise the tariff duties by so per cent
if it becomes necessary to make an
other nation understand it is advis-
able to enter into reciprocal trade
agreements. The President does not
have to refer these agreements back
