TARIFF PROSPECTS:— Few people have i.inked the II >n. James Eli Watson, our senator, among the prophets, but he has, by virtue of a recent utterance, merited at least a temporary inclusion in that exalted fellowship. Not long ago he opposed putting tariff legislation ahead of legislation dealing with internal taxation because of “changing conditions throughout the world," and he said: Because of the difference in exchange, the best tariff bill we can pass today will, in many of its provisions, be obsolete six months from now. If such a tariff bill as that which has been reported by the ways and means committee should become a law, it would he “obsolete” from the very moment of its passage. It is Haiti that the rates generally are higher than those of the PayneAldrich bill enacted twelve years ago. and that hundreds of articles that are now on the free list will be taxed.

Happily there will be strong republican opposition to the measure, and it seems certain that many concessions will be forced. Already the lumber tax has disappeared, the committee contenting itself with authorizing the president to impose a tariff on lumber equal to the tax imposed on exported lumber by other countries. It is quite possible, therefore, that there will be no lumber tax. It is understood- -and this has been the rule in past years—that the real tariff bill will be written by the senate finance committee, which, it is said, will refuse to accept the monstrosity that the house is proposing to send to the senate. It is even possible that, in accordance with the suggestion of Senator Watson, the tariff bill will be held in the senate committee till after a tax law has been passed. Senator Penrose has, it is said, found much sentiment in favor of such postponement. In a discussion of the whole subject, the Springfield Republican very truthfully said: No one can now forecast the trade developments of two years, as Germany ami other nations prostrated by war return to normal economic processes. It is exceedingly doubtful if there should be any general revision of our tariff until economic readjustments become more definitely outlined. But this is preeminently a time for a revision of the country’s direct taxes upon which the treasury must depend for the bulk of its revenue. It is only fajr to business men that they should know as soon as possible what to expect in profits and income taxes and the like. If the tariff continues

DEMAND FOR TANLAC DREAKS ALE RECORDS

Amazing Success Achieved by Celebrated Medicine Not Only Phenomenal, But } '>pre<edented—Over 20.00(1,000 Bottles Sold in Six Years —Foreign Countries (lamor ior It.

Never before, perhaps, in the history of the dr “» t r^ k the demand for a proprietary medicine ever; approach; II the derful record that is now being made by fanlac, the u ' d , H , medicine which has been accomplishing such remarkable n s ultb throughout this country and Canada. As a matter ot ta . marvelous success achieved by this medicine is not only phenom - nal, but unprecedented.

The first bottle of Tanlac to reach the public was sold just a little over six years ago. it's success wa immediate and people everywhere were quick to recognize it as a medicine oi extraordinary merit. Since that time tin re have been sold throughout this country and Canada something ovei twenty million (80,000,000) bottles, establishing a record which lias probably never been equalled in the history of the drug trade in America. Fame Is International. The instant and phenomenal success which Tanlac won when it was' first introduced lias been extended to. practically every large city, small town, village and hamlet in North America. Its fame has become international in Its scope and England. Japan. Mexico, Cuba. Hawaii. Alaska. Porto Rico and many European countries are clamoring for it. From coast to coast and from the Great Lakes. Tanlac is known and honored. Millions have taken it with |

to have the right of way, the un-! certainty as to direct taxes will be prolonged perhaps until next winter Just now the tariff question is a Jonah and its unloading would not be an unwelcome development. It is a severe penalty that may be exacted from accepting the leadership of Representative Fordney, a man who is still living in the PayneAldrich era, and who, if he realizes that the nation has been through a war, wholly fails to understand the consequences that have followed that war. Th eidea of imposing enormous taxes on a tax-burdened people and of increasing prices at a time when the whole people are groaning under tiie present scale of prices, and 4,000,000 men are out of employment, could have occurred only to a tariff fanatic. Whatever may be true of Senator Watson, Fordney at least is not among the prophets.—lndianapolis News. Dempsey is said to be worried ovei tomorrow's fight while Carpentier is confident. Stranger things have happened than the favorite in a prize fight coming out with second money and a disfigured face. Among the sport writers who have watched both men train, nine out of ten pick Dempsey to win within a few rounds but during the past day of two Carpentier has grown stronger with the gamblers, all of which means little, it's! about the poorest sport in the world and there may be truth in the "dope'’ j that the fight is fixed to go twelve rounds in order that another big haul can be made by a return match in Europe. Guess 'em as you will but don't figure too strong on winning unless you are on the inside. If we remember correctly we used to think it somewhat of a record if a

farmer had his wheat in shock by the Fourth of July but this year the most of it is either in shock or ready for it. The crops in Adams county sure look good and indications for a prosperous year could not-be better and especially so if all the promises to take care of the farmer are made good by providing a profitable market. We will have the goods if there is any demand at a reasonable price.

If we can add the South park and | the Hanna playground to the Waterworks park and Bellmont we will be well provided and both of these improvements should be and could be made. Let's not drop them. The work need not all be done in a month or a year but if we get title to them we can improve them from time to time. A park commission in Decatur would soon have several delightful parks arranged. A well known farmer yesterdayshowed his tax receipts and his half of the net returns from an eightyacre farm, exclusive of the taxes which he must pay. His share is considerably short of the taxes for the year. Such a condition would not iiave been possible under the old law. We don’t yet understand why the voters continue to approve such a ■ law-.

Just remember that if you permit ‘ I the constitution of Indiana to be ‘ I changed now, it will be easy to do it . in the future and you may get some i very bum amendments. It is certain I that a lot of efforts will be made and we will have a special election on a lot of fool notions every couple of years. The city campaign in Decatur will not warm up much until after the special election on the constitutional amendments in September. It is . likely that the city campaign will be I short but snappy.

Haynes plans to make the third i year of national prohibition a much more near bone dry period than the first two. he said. Beginning today, the prohibition unit will be able ’ to draw on a new appropriation of more than $2,000,000 to fill places of detectives and inspectors laid off because cash ran out t'ortf days ago. More than 700 enforcement agents were laid cff in May because the 1921 appropriation ran out. With new funds available, however, Haynes is in a position to engage new and trained workers and throw into each big city a flying squadron of drysleuths to terrify bootleggers and proprietors of alleged soft drink emporiums who secretly try to deal out better than one-half per cent. beer. The prohibition unit will begin the new year with a more nearly perfect system as a second line of defense, against bootlegging and illegal sale and underground distribution of contraband booze.

To make the year more nearlypleasing to prohibition enforcement officials, congress soon will lie asked by Attorney General Daugherty to set up a system of booze courts which will transact only business relating to prohibition enforcement. With these courts In operation, retribution in the shape of heavy fines and jail I terms will be dealt out with little delay to persons caught running the rum blockade of day detectives. Delay in | bringing violators to justice because I the ordinary courts of New- York and all big cities are clogged with prohibition cases, has bsen one of the factors making prohibition laws hard to enforce, according to government officials.

And to make Haynds’ drive on law breakers more and mere effective, several branches of the government are co-operating with him, as well as city, state and county officials in all sections. Chief Ashworth of the U. S. Customs detectives along the Canadian border to halt international booze smugglers. The Florida keys are being guarded against liquor smuggled from Cuba, not only by the customs service but also by the U. S. coast guards. And in big cities like New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, St. Louis. Chicago, Denver and San Francisco, police and state officials now are putting'their hands to the wheel to move their-territory’ into an atmosphere is'aridity. Considering the situation from these points of view, Commissioner] ’ Haynes is pleased with the possibility of making the country nearly 100 per 1 cent, dry during the next twelve ■- months. ' At any rate,” he said today, “we'U a

make it blamed unpleasant to be a bootlegger.’’ Haynes and few government officials believe that real I<K> per cent, pure prohibition can be clamped down cn the entire country. Prohibition, they point out, is too new to be completely effective at once. But progress toward complete dryness is being made daily, they say, backed by a rapidly developing public entiment for absolute and impartial enforcement of the law. • Wartime prohibition, when the country took its first step towards a dry basis, began two years ago today. One that day all sales of liquor for internal consumption was prohibited bv law. This measuFc, however, was intended to be merely temporary and to continue in effect only for a short

Util a sh® t time ago 2,000 federal agets were scattered through the couaiy watching for violations of the ‘ tel* sted law. Then came the big ay-‘ off. Now, however, this is to be »r---rected.

During the first two years of pnhi-. bition, the country has conimsed more than 40,000,000 gallons of liqer, according to reports on withdraw from bonded warehouses. Prohibiten unit officials say that part of tit reached bootleggers and was eon sin ■ cd internally, although the pertEt; under which it was withdrawn wire intended to prevent the use ofliqor
