DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS JOIN IN TARIFF DRIVE

WAR ON G. 0. P. IS PLEDGED GY GROUPLEADERS Mid-West Senators Hope to Force Farm Relief by Attack on East. HOUSE WILL BLOCK BILL McMaster of South Dakota Asks Large Reduction in Schedules. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Senate Democrats and Independents announced today that they would open a long-delayed war upon the Republican tariff soon after the Christmas holidays. Senator Mac Master, Independent Republican, S. D., declared he would seek debate and a vote upon his resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that schedules now in force should be reduced materially at once. Simultaneously, Senator King (Dem.), Utah, made know that he will present a bill eliminating the flexible provisions of the tariq. With the Democrats and Independent Republicans working hand in hand upon the issue, it seems likely that the Senate may take some affirmative action against the administration’s tariff bill. But it is conceded that the House would smother any attempt to tamper with present rates. House Will Block Move Democrats and independent Republicans realize that inasmuch as the Constitution provides tariff meaures must originate in the House, and the House has manifested a firm disinclination to go into the matter, they can do little more than—as they say—throw a scare into the industrial East, in the hope of getting some action on farm legislation.” “Back of my resolution, of course, is a drive for agricultural relief,” Mac Master told the United Press. “We want to put the industrial group on the defensive. “Farmers favor readjustment of the tariff. If the resolution is adopted by the Senate, Republican Representatives from the Middle West will have to face the issue squarely in the House. Sees Benefit for Both “I believe that out of the resolution may come some settlement which will be beneficial to both farms and industrialists who already are deeply conscious that they must do something about the situation. “I expect the Senate discussions on the tariff to be extremely valuable in connection with the growing demand in the West that the farmers be brought under the protective tariff or the tariff be modified.”

FRENCH COAST BEACONS FOR FLIERS URGED Former Minister, Asserts Trans-Oceanic Flights Caused Need. BY JOHN O’BRIEN United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Dec. 26.—The large beacons, shooting their rays several hundred miles from the coasts of Europe as a welcome and guide to aviators from across the Atlantic, will be established, one on the rocky coast of Brittany and the other on the southwestern coast of Ireland, it a project of former Minister Charles Danielou goes through. “Lindbergh blazed the trail from America to Europe,” writes M. Danielou. “After him several others tried, several perished. Byrd after having arrived over Ireland, set his course toward Brittany whence he attempted vainly to continue on to Paris. Miss Ruth Elder’s course also was deflected toward the south, away from the coast ox France. In the year to come other pilots will follow those pioneers. Duty to Pilots “In America they are talking seriously of establishing floating islands to mark the phases of the transAtlantic flights of the future. It will take years to put this project into execution, but we must remember that aviation progress is rapid. Meanwhile our duty is to give aerial pilots of the ocean all the help within .our power. One of the most urgent needs of trans-oceanic flying is establishment of signal stations. “At the most extreme westerly point of the Breton peninsula there are high hills, facing the sea, on which our ancestors built great fires to announce general mobilization, capable of being perceived at a distance of a hundred miles. “There are similar heights on the rocky southwestern coast of Ireland. There should be erected two giant lighthouses similar to that atop Mont Valerien, outside Paris, which would pierce the gloom and fog of the channel and eastern Atlantic for hundreds of miles, first appearing to the oncoming flier as a faint nebula, gradually increasing in intensity as he nears the coast. Brest Great Port “The extreme point of Finisterre is the most westerly spot in Europe. It is on the line from Berlin to the Azores and is destined to be a central junction of trans-Atlantic aerial lines. Objections advanced against making Brest a great transAtlantic port—its situation south of the lane of steamers plying to North Sea ports and the dangerous coastline—cease to exist when it is a question of an aerial port.” SETS $5,000 LOVE PRICE — * Hoosier Charges Affection Stolen From Mother of' Seven.

Cites Nagging Parents as Cause for ‘Wild Youth ’

Gary Juvenile Officer Also Blames Love of Adventure. EtV United Prrtst GARY, Ind., Dec. 27.—Love of adventure and nagging parents are the two chief causes of child delinquency, according to Referee Frank J. Sheehan, of the Gary Juvenilfe Court. Girls and boys whose parents continually nag them and those whose homes are not suitable for the entertainment of their friends are especially susceptible to the lure of unusual experience, he said, and also are prone to get into more difficulties due to their lack of parental guidance. “In order to satisfy this natura’ longing for excitement and to escape the drab monotony of their lives such boys and girls meet on street corners and form gangs,” Sheehan continued. “Here, mob psychology rules their actions. Sometimes they do nothing more than shout at passersby, but often they steal automobiles for joy rides or go in for wholesale truancy.” When b,-—ght to juvenile court the children take a defensive attitude, the referee explained. They resent being sent to court. Some of them have a well-developed delinquent attitude. Parents of these children usually remark: “Nothing can be done with my child at home; we have no control of him.” The delinquent attitude then asserts itself in scorn, sarcasm, antagonism and indifference. Referee Sheehan dcleared that the best method to deal with Juvenile delinquents is by developing their desire for adult approval. All children long to be appreciated by their elders, he declared, and if they can not get it by proper methods will conceive all ma: ner of wild schemes to attract attention, even going as far as banditry and murder.

BUTLER URGES NEW 'LEAGUE' —No. 3 Head—See Puzzle Council for Nations of Two Americas Advocated. E,it f niled Press NEW YORK. Dec. 26.—A permanent council of American nations to supplement the work of the League of Nations in the Western Hemisphere was urged by Dr. Nicholas Murphy Butler, President of Columbia University, in a Christmas greeting to tne people of Argentina. Dr. Butler, who is president also of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, suggested that the coming Pan-American Congress in Havana be transformed into such an association for the consideration of common problems and the dis-< cussion of international differences. “Such an association,” Dr. Butler said, “need not interfere in the least with membership in the League of Nations on the part of these American nations which have accepted such membership. “This association simply would supplement the work of the league in the purely American field. Through such an association of American nations, many misunderstandings and unhappiness might be entirely avoided.”

MORE PAYJN NAVY Bill Will Ask Boost for War- _ rant Officers. Bu Time* Svecial WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Immediately after Congress reconvenes, warrant officers of the United States Navy will be given a delayed Christmas present in the shape of a bill to equalize their pay, for which they haveb een asking for flfive years. Warrant officers, enlisted men who have worked up in the ranks, do not receive the same pay as that given others of their rank, although in 1916 Congress directed they be given equal pay and the benefit of any increases granted thereafter. But in 1922 a joker clause in an act increasing pay of naval officers destroyed this equality, and warrant officers have had to meet postwar prices on pre-war salaries ever since. Last summer Li Paris the American Legion denounced this condition and voted to throw all its strength behind an attemp tto secure equality for warrant officers. A bill providing for this will be introduced by Representative Royal Johnson. WE CAN SUPPLY.MONEY NOW for current needs. Confidential and quick. CAPITOL LOAN CO.„ 141 & E. Wash St.—Advertisement.

AIM BILLSAT ALIENS Congress Attention Centered on Immigration. WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.—Immigration, more than any other one subject, drew the attention of law makers during the opening days of Congress. Already fifty-one bills have been introduced proposing various amendments to existing immigration laws. Most of those are sponsored by House members. Chairman Albert Johnson, of the House Immigration Committee, has reintroduced his bill for deporatation of aliens. It is indorsed by the Bureau of Immigration and the Secretary of Labor, and is designed to give the bureau greater power in deportation cases. A number of other deportation bills, differing in minor features, also are before Congress. A measure requiring registration of all aliens in this country, somewhat similar to registration laws in effect in Europeana countries, also has been reintroduced. It, too, is indorsed by the Immigration Bureau, but is strongly opposed by liberal members of Congress. Representative Blanton of Texas, proposes to suspend all immigration to this country until 1935, but would permit emergency farm laborers to enter temporarily from Mexico and Canada.

City’s Smokers Burn Up 528 ‘Fags’ Every Minute

One Man Would Puff 2,566 Years to Smoke All Used Here in One Hour. Thirty-two thousand cigarets an hour. That’s the number Indianapolis smokers must light up hourly to meet the city’s annual consumption of 277,875.000 “fags.” And if just one “inveterate smoker” with sufficient longevity tackled this number with a carload of matches, devoting five minutes to a cigaret, it world take him Just 2,566 years to finish his smoke. Seven hundred and forty-one cigarets is the per capita consumption of Indianapolis’ 375,000 men, women and children, if all smoke — which, of course, they don’t. The burden falls on the thousands who do. Smoke 528 a Minute These are some of the deductions made from surveys of the three leaders of the cigaret industry, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, American Tobacco Company, and Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company. These firms produced 89,000,000,000 cigarets last year for domestic consumption and predict that the growing popularity of the cigaret among women will push the figures muc.x higher this year. If 89,000,000.000 was the nation’s consumption, IndianaptHs on a pro rata basis smoked 277,875,000 of them, figuring on a national population of 120.000,000. To supply more data for the organized foes of the papered weed, these figures also may be calculated to offer the following: Indianapolis cigaret smokers light

up 761,301 "pills” a day, 31,720 an hour, or 528 every minute. If the city’s annual cigaret consumption is subject to the old end-to-end comparison, the white line would extend some 12,060 miles, or about half way around the earth. Women have contributed substantially to cigaret gains in recent years, says the Boston News Bureau, after a survey of the three leading manufacturers. Domestic production doubled in the six years between 1920 and 1926. Important manufacturers were loath to make direct advertising appeals to women, through fear of public opinion, but this hesitancy has disappeared. Chewing Tobacco Losing Most youths who take to the tobacco habit favor the cigaret, and on this fact and on smoking by women hangs the expectation of continued expansion of production and increased earnings, says the Boston publication. While cigaret production climbed, cigars fell off in popularity. Cigar production in 1926 was around 6,900,000,000 after a steady decrease since 1920. Since 1914, chewing tobacco has been decreasing slowly, demonstrating, manufacturers believe, another swing toward cigarets. Smoking tobacco has shown a small increase, but other manufactured tobacco, except snuff, has been losing ground slowly.
