Farm Organizations
for Increased Tariff
Les —10t—
Organized agriculture threw its
weight Monday behind the movement
for sweeping increases in tariff rates
on all classes of farm products.
Appearing before the House Ways
and Means Committee at the fourth
day of hearings given over to agri-
culture import duties, representatives
of the American Farm Bureau
Federation and National Grange
joined in appealing for higher tariff
protection on scores of com-
modities.
Submitting a proposal for increas-
ing duties on items in sixty of the
eighty sections of the farm schedule,
Chester Gray, Washington repre-
sentative of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation, declared it was his
belief that “tariffs on raw farm
crops will not necessarily increase
the price over the retail counter, but
will protect the American farmer
from his foreign low cost produce
competitor.”
“If the American farmer can be
protected from the competitor abroad
who has the lowest cost,” Gray ar-
gued, “there will be enough efficiency
and competition among farmers on
our farms to supply food, clothing
and shelter for our people at a reas-
onable price and on the basis of what
we call the American standard of liv-
ing,
Gray contended that the “Ameri-
can consumer, who is very largely a
as an in-
farm resident as well
habitant of towns and cities, in re-
troubled not with
kitchen costs as the main factor in
but with rent,
motor costs, amusements, and vari-
cent years, is
the cost of living,
ous other modern factors which make
the family budget shrink more than!
kitchen costs.”

Higgins’ College Inn:
Rural League Clubs Start Lining Up
1929 Prospects---Beaumont, Alderson
and E. Dallas Will Have Good Teams
From the Hot Stove League comes
the news of several: changes and
strengthening of clubs that is ex-
pected to make a real fight for the
pennant in the Rural League this
season. Ferman Wilson, holder of
the East Dallas franchise has teamed |
up with Idetown and-assures the fans
of a much stronger club. Fritz Vol-
linger, a left-handed pitcher and Leo
Cummings, a catcher, who has been
| in service with professional clubs will
form the battery. Art Montross, at
one time with the Dallas Independents
will be used as a relief pitcher. Fer-
man has a large roster to pick his
fielding prospects from and would be
unable to announce his lineup at this
writing.
From all indications Archie Austin
has been doing his stuff at Beaumont.
As we have been informed that Glen
Bulford has been signed for first base
while a pitcher, infielder and an out-
fielder has been added to the club for
1929. With such added strength the
Beaumont Club should be a top-notch-
er and we wish them luck as Beau-
mont is rated as one of the best base
ball towns in the league.
A chat with Ed, Morgan, manager
of the Alderson Club, gives us en-
ough news to state that his club will
be in the fight from start to finish and
the club winning the pennant will
have to fight it out with Alderson.
Manager Labar, of Dallas, seems to
be satisfied. with his 1928 lineup, but
would be pleased to have an extra
pitcher on deck which would avoid
some of last season’s trouble when
the club went on the field pitcherless,
In such cases Freddie Rogers was sent
to the mound and usually made a
good job of it, but it also made a
weak spot in left field. There are
also several youngsters to be given a
chance, the most promising being
Cecil Wilson, Elwood Elston, Dick
Gebhart, Phil Anderson and Dick
Evans, the latter having played with
second and third class clubs before
coming to Dallas.
It is hard to get a line in Centre-
moreland, as Manager Lasco has giv-
en up his interest in the club, which
makes it look as though Center may
not be with us this season. Should
this be the case Valley View would
be glad to take up their franchise.
We have not heard from’ Noxen for
some time, but it can be expected we
will see the Tannery boys in line when
the season opens.
Hunlock’s Creek and Roaring ‘Brook
recently admitted to the league, have
their clubs all set for the bell. Their
players have all signed 1929 contracts
and are awaiting for spring to open
up so as to get in trim.
To Confer On
Voting Machine
Legislation
— 20
A conference for consideration of
the administration enambling legisla-
tion for voting machines by Senator
Frank J. Harris of Pittsburgh wit]
Governor Fisher. i
Senator Harris, for some time has
had a bill drafted incorporating his
own ideas for setting up the machin-
ery for making the constitutional
amendment passed last November ef-
fective.
The measure has been given the ap-
proval of the Pennsylvania Elections
Association and the Philadelphia com-
mittee of seventy and the sponsor
hopes to have it receive the approba-
tion of the Governor for the added
strength his support would give it in
the legislature.
It will be the second enabling bill
for voting machines presented thus
far, Representative Albert Davis of
Lackawanna having introduced a bill
which was recommitted to the elec-
tions committee after appearing on
the calendar.

Law Violators

Any attempt from any source to
push legislation which will let down
he stringent laws against foreign
immigration - will encounter deter-
mined opposition from the Granges of
the country, as recent action taken by
States Granges and by the National
Grange indicates that organization to
be as positive as ever that the present
restrictions against more aliens cori
ing into the country shall be strictly
adhered to, in spite of the demand for
cheap labor which is being voiced in
certain industrial directions.
At the last session of the National
Grange not only was the declaration
very strong against letting down the
bars to more incoming aliens, but the
Grange also declared that “None but
those who are ready to enter into the
improvement program of our social
and moral laws, and with ourselves to
seek higher standards of living, should
be admitted to the United States. If
they do not observe our laws, but per-
sist in violating them, former aliens
should have ' their naturalization
papers taken away from them and be
sent back to the land from where they
came.”
