Senator Williams Says Country
Has Been on Stil s.
Senator Williams, of Mississippi, in |
fie tariff debate said that the
Democrats had found it difficult to
deal logically with the tariff because
the industrial condition had been
placed on high stilts by years of Re-
gmblican protection. This prompted
Senator Cummins to ask why the
Democrates had not cut off a little of
both stilted legs, ‘‘instead of leaving
the industrial body crippled with the
manufacturing leg longer than the
agricultural leg.” Senator Williams
replied. that they were “afraid it |
would kill the poor thing’ to walk
straight all at once.
“Yon have put the country on stilts’
FARMERS’ CHAU-
TAUQUA DAY.
Farmers’ Day at the Somerset Chau-
tauqua, under the auspices of the Som.
erset Board of Trade; promises to be
one of the largest celebrations ever
held in the county. All farmers will
be admitted to the Chautauqua in
Edgewood Grove free and horse feed
and refreshments will be furnished
gratitutiously.
Judge William H. Ruppel has been
chosen to deliver an address of wel-
come. A baseball game between the
Somerset merchants and a team or-
| ganized for the occasion by the farm-
ers will furnish part of the amusement
that is eagerly looked for.
The main feature of the occasion
said Senator Williams, addressing the
Republicans. ‘We ean’t reduce the
izties in one bill all that we would |
ifte fo on account of the chaotic arti- |
ficial condition you have created. We
ean not run a thread of logic through |
this bill for that very reason.”
“J agree with the senator from Mis- |
|
|
|
sissippi that the Payne:Aldrich law |
gave the American legs stilts that |
were too high, but I think the way to |
gorrect the trouble is to saw off one |
teg entirely and leave the other where
it was, thus leaving a very disjointed |
and perverted industrial body. He |
shoul. have the agricultural leg no |
fonger than the manufacturing leg.’
s¢Well,”? said Senator Williams, |
“we found the poor thing with one |
leg alread longer than the other and
we took off proportionately from the
fong leg, but still the poor crippled up
tning will haye to go stumbling along.”’
¢“But you should equalize the legs.”’
said Senator Cummins.
‘3h, we struck a fellow so in the
#abit of walk with one leg longer than
the other that we we afraid it would
kill him if both legs were made exact~
ly even,” Senator Williams retorted
zrousing laughter of the Democrats.
Senator Bristow, discussing an -al-
leged discrepancy in a duty on potato
atarch with none on potatoes, ashed
Senator Williams why the Democrats
put a duty on rice and not on potatoes.
Senator Williams declares that one
reason was that the Republicans had
begun to hothouse rice and the Dem-
scrats could not take all tae duty off
at once, and further that rice was not
suchan ‘every-day food as poatoes.”’

APPROVE CHANGEg IN
PARCEL RATES.
WASHINGTON, July 25—The inter-
state commerce commission today
approved the reduction in the par-
eel post rates ordered by Postmaster
General Burleson, and declared that
it, was not necessary to conduct hear-
ings in order to determine whether
ehanges were advisable.
Chairman Clark, explaining why
the commission had sanctioned the
proposed changes, said he believed
the postmaster general had ample
power under law to make the change.
“I am convinced that the post-
office department ought to, can and
will extend, the parcel post until it
will carry all packages up to 100
pounds,” he added.
Public hearings will not be held by
the commission upon the expediency
of the changes postponed. In a
statement issued today the commis-
says it has no jurisdiction over the
eompepsation paid by the postal ser-
mice for hauling the mails.
Despite senatorial criticism of the
proposed changes, Postmaster Gen-
eral Burleson today announced he
would issue the final orders at once.
