Secretary Theodore Roos NEWS NOTES fROM WASHINGTON CITY (Special Correspondent) Washington May 8.-The fourteen points which Senator Simmons (Dem., N. C.), made against the Calamity Tariff bill epitomized the main ob jections to the measure and formed the basis for the masterly discussion of the principal features of the bill and the economic situation by the Senator from North Carolina former chairman of the Senate Finance Com mittee, which followed. Senator Simmons' fourteen points in turn may be epitomized as follows: . The bill was framed with a view of maintaining present prices and to enable protected industries to further advance high prices without the risk of foreign competition. 2. Leads to higher prices higher cost of living and further monopoliza tion of American industries. 3. Many rates are absolutely pro hibitive, especially on highly special izedl products which constitute the bulk of dutiable imports. 4. The proposed rates applied to present import prices-expressed in terms of equivalent ad valorem average from -10 to 50 per cent higher than the average Payne-Aldrich rates 5. The volume of imports have now reached almost a normal basis and are not e'xcessive, and compared with Our exports are relatively low. (i.

Shown in the picture -louse porch. asert shows the childr evelt receiving a salute from the Preside that the drastic increases of the pend ing bill will reduce them to a point where it will be utterly impossible to sell our large exportabe surplus of manufactured and. avricultural prod ucts in foreign - markets because our foreign customers will continue to he unable to purchase except thtrough the exchange of merchandise. 7. The two greatest economic prob lems of the American people today are (1) Foreign markets for our sur plus products ,and (2) the question of unemployment, which unless the first problem is wisely solved, will rapidly grow. Labor can only be em ployed to the extent to which the employer can find a market for his products. 8. Duties on agricultural products will mostly be inoperative or inef fective because of (1) practically no importations or (2) such meagre im portations as could not affect the do mestic price or (3) on account of our large exportable surplus the domestic price of the particular article is baseo upon and fixed by the world selling prick. 9. The effective duties will tend to advance the price of agricultural and manufactured products in the dom1es tie market, but the benefit to the far'mer through such increases will be almost inconsequential by reason of the increases in the prices of. the things he must buy and consume. 10. The rule followed by the Com mittee in ascertaining the measure of protection violates every theory or principle of protection heretofore d vocated by the Republican party.

All of these points Senat mlons clearly demonstrated and arguillents. KENTUCKY FARM ERS P' BY STAYING OUT HU': CO-OPERATIVE ASSOt Mr. James C.
