THE PROPOSED TARIFF BILL *
In forming an estimate of the tariff '
bill that the Republicans in Congress
; are preparing to foist upon the country
there is no better source of information
than the judgment of Hon.
F Oscar W. Underwood, Alabama's
Senior Senator. He is the author of
the present tariff, the tariff that bears
p his name. In a recent article in the
r New York Times Senator Underwood
described the proposed tariff in very
plain terms.
He says that it is the worst tariff in
the country's history. That the ratio
of taxation are higher and less defensible
than any that have ever been proposed
by any Congress in the history
of America.
A few paragraphs are quoted from
Senator Underwood's severe arraignment
of the Fordney-McCumber tariff
bill:
"It is undoubtedly the most prohibitive
tariff bill that has ever been
proposed in the American Congress,
id the rates of taxation are higher
id less defensible than any that have
ever been presented to us in the past.
It looks as if those charged with the
responsibility of writing the bill have
accepted unqualifiedly the rates proposed
by the special interests desiring
protection and have not given consideration
to the resultant effect on the
general business of the country or the
burdens that must be borne by the
consumers of America. Should the bill
become a law, the American people
will find this out in time, but it will
be after they have paid the price of
the experiment."
Referring to the claim that the proposed
tariff helps the farmer, Mr. Underwood
says:
"That for every dollar the farmers
may derive from the bill they will
pay $100 in taxes for the benefit of
somebody else. In other words, for
very 1 per cent, of protection they
are given they pay 99 per cent, of
protection ior the benefit of other
p?ople. I do not think there is any
question about that.
"Let us examine the steel and iron
schedules. I do not believe that the
agricultural masses of this country
will approve a tariff bill which proposes
prohibitive taxes on the raw materials
from which their plows, their
trace chains, their agricultural Implements
of all kinds are made. When the
pTesent law was written it was my
view that as to heavy goods in
the iron and steel schedule the great
American industry was full grown and
able then, as now, to fight its own battles
in any market in the world."
As long as there is to be a prohibitive
tariff, it should not be a one sided
tariff, or as the Atlanta Constitution I
puts it:
"As enactment of an undemocratic
high p.otective tariff bill apparently
is inevitable the industries of the
south should be placed on an even
footing with those of the rest of the
country in the enjoyment of the protection
for which it provides.
"If the bill is going to pass anyhow,
why should the south be discriminated
against and deprived of whatever spe*"
] cial benefits the industries of the
country may derive from it?"

News comes from China that General
Wu Pei Fu threatens to cut ofT
, """the head of the War Lord Chang Aso
Lin if he persists in opposing tho unification
of China. It is said that when
a bank fails in China they cut off the
cashier's head and it is aiso stated
that there are not many hank failures
in China.
All of which accords with Bret
Hart's lines:
"For ways that are dark
And tricks that are vain,
The heathen Chine is peculiar."
EX-KAISER BILL WRITES A BOOK
While the world thought the exkaiser
was sawing wood and saying
nothing he has been writing a book?
his autobiography. It was finished a
few days ago. A remarkable fact in
this connection is that publishers and (
publishers' agents raced across the
ocean to put in bids for publication
rights of the ex-kaiser's book. So keen ^
was the competition that it is stated
that several million dollars will be realized
by Kaiser Bill for his book. |
Job said, "Oh that mine enemy (
would write a book."
The ex-kaiser has written one and
will be able to feather his nest quite '
warmly.

SIMPLY DOING GOOD
It matters not whose child you are,
Nor boots it big what be your breed
If you are pure and good by far,
And hate to hurt and crush and mar,
Your soul shines pedigreed!
What matters showy pomp of place
Or silly boasting of your caste?
The lowly beggar win His grace
If he can look Him in the face?
Ah, sometimes first is last!
God holds no favorite plan, but one,
And that is j urs or mine at will:
The Master's blessed, "Child, well
done,"
Comes to the toiler in the sun
As to the court crowned hill!
I hate the fleeting shallow sham
Whose soul is bittered to the poor;
Who lives and breathes and struts "I
am,"
Whose a eakling pride but lives to
damn?
All humble are the pui*e!

With fawning gift of place withstood

WASHINGTON LETTER
By Wallace Bassford
Washington, D. C , Juno 19.?When
Oscar Underwood, of Alabnia, was in
the House of Representatives he Luilt
up a great reputation as an expert on
the tariff; he became Chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means and
his name became fastened on the tariff
law which his committee compiled
and put through the House. Under
that measure the country enjoyed the
greatest prosperity it ever knew, and
it remained for the greed of American
manufacturers to nnct fault with the
law. Mr. Underwood is now the Democratic
leader in the Senate. He has
written for the New York Times, the
greatest Democratic newspaper of this
time, a long article on the proposed
tariff law now before the Senate.
Space forbids its use in full, but here
are some of the most pertinent paragraphs:
"I have always opposed in princi-|
pie the theory of protection, and have
leaned strongly to the idea that customs
should be levied primarily in the
interest of revenue for the Government,
and that all rates of taxation
should be so adjusted as to allow a
reasonahle inflow e
wj gui>ua IIUII1
abroad in order that the Custom
House might have an opportunity to
take its toll as they passed through
and some degree of competition might
be established. I have never contended
that, in the interest of a revenue tariff,
it is necsasry to bring about des- '
tructive competition, but a tariff that
fixes the rates of taxation so high as
to practically prohibit foreign goods 1
from entering the American market at 1
all has been abhorrent to my idea of
the proper use of the taxing power of 1
tho Congress of the United States. 1
Outstrips All Other Bills >
"The Democratic Party is often (
charged with being a free trade par- 1
;y. So far as I know from the begin- x
ting the Democratic Party has never 1
ihandoned the system of raising taxes
it the Custom House. There are free
raders in the Democratic Party and I 1
lave known of some in the Republican 1
'arty. As I understand it, the posi- I1
ion of the Democratic Party is that c
axes levied at the Custom House v
hould be for revenue purposes only, '
hat the Custom House is a place
vhere revenue may be obtained to
un the Government, and that it pro- ?
ides a < oni'i srent way of raising a ^
ertain amount of revenue, that if a "
evenue tax be levied at the Custom
louse in such a way that it does not
nduly stifle competition from abroad,
nd the nersnn * ?"

rice, which goes into the pockets of
fie home producer.
"The effect of protective tariff laws, ,
s distinguished from tariffs for revelue
only, has been to rob the great ?
tiass of the American people and to
increase the profits ofa few. I hear of
ocialism and communism condemned,
do not believe in either, but it is disrimination
on the part of the Gov;rnment
against the masses of the
leople for the benefit of the few that
ows the seed from which prows the
ree of discontent, and discontent
,vhen brought about by unjust laws
eflects on the whole system of Gov?rnment.
1 believe that the great pow;rs
of the Government are intended to j
>e used only for the benefit of all the
>eople, not for the promotion of special
interests, and I care not whether
those special interests come out of
.he fields of agriculture or arise from
ihe smokestacks of a steel mill.
"When the present law was written
not only were all kinds of fertilizer,
which are imported into the United
States and are valuable in the development
of agriculture, placed on the
free list, but binding twine for the
man who raises wheat in the west and
ties and bagging for the farmer whose ,
basic crop is cotton were likewise
placed on the free list. Under this bill
they propose to put these things back
on the tax list and there is no evidence
that either of these industries
has suffered from outside competition
under the existing law. Some of the
fertilizers coming into this market
and many of the commodities from j
which fertilizers are made also will
be taxed, under the proposed law. I |
am confident that the farmer will not
be long in finding out these things.
The items 1 have cited are simply illustrative.
Others which concern the
welfare of agriculture can be found
all through the bill."
AMERICAN LEGION NOTES
As the time for the State Convention
of the American Legion draws
near the members of the various posts
are laying plans to attend. It is expected
that some very novel features
will be staged in connection with the
State Convention. Mr. J. P. Gibson,
Jr., of Bennettsville, advises that his
post will send a large delegation to
the State Convetnion and that they
expect to go over in a box car. This is
a good idea and should result in a
large attendance from Bennettsville.
It is hoped that other Posts in the
otate will cievise some novel scnemes
for attending the convention and
thereby help to create more interest
in Legion matters.
The second annual June festival
staged at Bennettsville for the benefit
of the Legion was a pronounced success
from every angle. All elements
tend toward a real event were present,
as evidence by the cosmopolitan
gathings and the holiday spirit prevailing.
The festival was arranged by
the ladies of Bennettsville for the
benefit of the Legion. Following the
big event Bennettsville Post adopted a
resolution thanking the ladies for the
splendid success of the affair. Mr. N.
W. Eddens, Commander and Mr. C. G.
White, Adjutant, are loud in their
praise of the manner in which the festival
was carried out. Miss Isadore
Hamer was elected and crowned
Duchess of Marlboro. It was one of
the most attractive features of the
festival and created much interest.
A meeting of the State executive
committee will be held at the department
headquarters in Columbia, in
the near future according to advice
Department Adjutant.
Ex-service men and women who
should be considered for medals of
honor, distinguished service crosses
and distinguished medals for meritorious
services during the world war will
be considered for these awards until
April l!)2:i, by a special act of Congress
passed upon the recommendation
of the Military Affairs Committee
of the American Legion.

To make a pound of clover honey
the bees must take nectar from 62,000

Often the journey from the hive to
the flower and back is as much as two
miles, so that the making of a pound
of honey. In a pound jar, a recent
aggregate more than 5,000,000 miles.

Copyright by th? WhMbr yidbdt, l?
TJBRK web but little doubt la tbe
mind of Thomas Byrnes, superintendent
of police in New York
city, that Louis Hanler had been murdered
for the sake of the money that
he was carrying \tlth him at the time.
The little Frenchman had been the
proprietor of a cafe, and, haying a ^
fear of the banks of America, had'tfoe
habit of carrying hundred* of dollars
in his wallet until the opportunity presented
.ltsejf of purchasing an international
money order.
One morning he was found dead in
the vestibule of his home, a J8 caliber
bullet through his heart, and his
pocketbook missing.
That was all Byrnes had to work
upon, for there were no Indications
whatever of the persons who had committed
the crime. The dispatch with
which the matter had been handled, :t
appeared to point to a .professional i
. criminal, sb Byrnes gave .prdera that
all the pawnshops in New York were
to he closely watched, and reports
made to him of the pawning of any
.38 caliber revolvers.
Investigation of the doaen or mora
88's pawned during the week which
followed the Hanler shooting, showed
that all but one of them had been
pledged by persons who very evidently
had no connection with the murder.
The single exception was one Michael
MeGloln, whom the pawnbroker In
question Identified by means of his
photograph In the Rouges' gallery.
McGloln's gun had been pawned on
the morning after the murder, gnd,
- while the police had little difficulty
I, In locating (he man himself, there was
not a shred of evidepce to connect
j him with the Ilanler case, beyond the g
; fact that he hu^l been absent from
j home on the night of the shooting In
! the company of four of his boon companions.
Quietly, ami without allowing a
word of his Intentions to leak out,
Byrnes rounded up the quintet one
Iat n time, none of them knowing that
the others were being arrested. Bach
of them was lodged In a cell hy himself
and questioned closely ns to his
| actions and his whereabouts at the
time of the murder. In spite of the
fact that Byrnes had definite Information
that the five men had been together.
each of them told a different
story, and each claimed to have been
alone, at n considerable distance from
the Hauler house.
"It's no use, inspector," said one of
^ the policemen who had been working
on the case about a week after the
five men had been picked up, "you
jj can't get a thing out of 'em. They
| know, all right, but you can't convict ?
' any of 'cm without a confession?and
I we've tried everything, Including the
/'third degree.'"
"Very we!!," said Byrnes nnletlr.
"we'll have to try the fourth degree."
"Fourth degree? What's that?"
I "Just u little was of getting at the
truth when u man wants to hoid out
on you," was Bymea' answer. "You
think there's no doubt that McGloln's
the inun? Have him brought to this
office tomorrow m?*rnlng, promptly at
ten o'clock."
