JACKSONVILLE, Oct. 30
United States Senator Duncan u.

phatic opposition to the proposed
homestead amendment. Ill effects
of such an amendment would out
weigh by far any benefits that
might result from the passage, the
veteran legislator said. He said
il the, amendment is adopted Tues
day it would create financial
and economie. disorder that might
grove disastrous to the whole state
of Florida.
The senator made the state.

Washington where he win remain

day.
think it would be unwise to
adept the homestead amendment
at this time for a number of rea-
sons" Senator Fletcher said.
First it would dePle.e the
school fund to a large extent,
second it would decrease revenue
which would have to be made up
by some other form or forms of
taxation Eighty-three percent of
the people of Florida do not own
homes, IL percent do. Should the
amendment he adopted the IL per-
cert will still be paying taxes on
bonds and additional replacement
taxes. The 80 percent will be hit
directly by whatever replacement
taxes put on it will fall upon
them to make up most of the rev.
enue loss"

HUNTERS SOUGHT
CITING HAZARDS
KEY WEST ADMINISTRATION
REFERS TO LETTER RE-
cEIvED BEARING ON SUB
JEcT IN THIS LOCALITY

The cooperation of all hunters
was sought today by the Key West
Administration when it pointed to
a letter recently received through
Assistant Florida Emergency Re-
lief Administrator Jerome A. Con-
nor from Robert Fechner, direc-
tor of emergency conservation
work.
The letter OF Director Feehner
was originally addressed to game
wardens and conservation COM
missieners, and said, in part:
Your splendid response to my
request last year to help reduce
the hazards of men in Emergency
Conservation Work engaged on
work projects in your state
prompts me to again solicit your
aid this season. With the approach
OF the hunting season. this SuggeS-
ton has especial pertineney.
81 request that all hunters
shall refrain from hunting within
rifle range of any work project in
your state and that. so far as may
be appropriate and consistent
with your power to act sugges-
lively or by force of legal action,
you authorize such regulations as
may be necessary"
1t was shown here that the same
preeaution should be taken in re-
gard to crews of men working un-
der the Key West Administra-
ton, as is being sought by the
director of emergency eonserva-
ton work.

Tariff Policy
Until 1903 the United Stale
used to keep itself free 10 msslzc
bargains with other nations, The
Mckinley tariff Of 1897 had pre-
visions for reciprocity. Bat Ia
1909 these provisions were re-
pealed and the policy Mas estab-
lished by which Congress fiNsd
tariff rates equally against al
countries and then added q pen
atty of an extra % percent against
any country which ''unduly d.
eliminated" against the United
States This was the beginning
of a system which meant that in
dealing with other countries the
administration in power could
grant no favors in return for con
cessiOns in American exporters
All it could do was to Penalize
other countries if they did n0t
grant every favor to Us that they
granted to any other country
Thus, for example. suppose
Spain and Norway wished 70 make
a bargain by which Spanish wine
would be subjected to lower duties
in Norway in return for lower du-
ties on Norwegian fish Under
our tariff policy Spain and Nor
way had either TO give Us the
benefit of both sides Of their bar-
gain or We would penalize their
imports to United States.
+'In 1922 the penalty was raised
to 80 percent increase Of duties
and in the Hswley-SmOot Act Of
1880 the penalty was raised 70 the
point where goods could be con-
pletely excluded. At the same
time these two acts made the ac-
tual duties, even without the eX-
ira penalties virtually prOhibitive
