TARIFF SCORED AS COSTING U. S. TRADE BILLIONS Support Ceases ‘Rejoicing’ As Wall Nears Its First Year. By Scripps-Hovr.ard Xetcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, June 3.—Another general condemnation of the present high tariff, and anew warning against affixing a levy on imported petroleum, were heard today as the Hawley-Smoot act neared its first anniversary. In mid-June of last year President Hoover’s signature made the bill the tariff act of 1930. Although an' official Republican statement last Friday defended the rates and said some of them were not high enough, there was no general rejoicing even among supporters of the bill as it attained its first year. Indeed, these twelve months have seen condemnation of the bill spread into high Republican ranks, and another twelve months will find the tariff a chief issue in the presidential campaign. In a statement today commenting on the industrial situation, and the billion-dollar treasury deficit, Representative Joe Byrns (Dem., Tenn.), ranking member of his party on the house appropriations committee, said: ‘ Haven’t a Friend on Globe" '‘The truth is that the tariff and foreign policies of the recent Republican administrations have cost American business literally billions of dollars in trade. ‘Ten years ago we had the friendship of the world. Today, due to our tariff and selfish foreign policy, we haven’t a friend on the globe.’’ Today, also, Senator Copeland (Dem., N. Y.) warned against the proposed tariff on petroleum, demand for which just has been renewed by independent oil producers. Copeland’s statement, made in the course of an article he wrote for the congressional digest and issued through the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport Company, which opposes the proposed oil tariff, said: Hoover Admitted Imperfections “The proposal of a high tariff on oil boils down to a bonus payable, first, to the large companies owning over 650,000,000 barrels of stored oil, and thereafter, possibly, to the royalty owners and so-called independent producers. These tremendous amounts would be collected as tribute paid by the American public and Merchant marine through increased fuel prices.” It was last June 17 that President Hoover approved the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill and made it law. He announced his approval even before the bill had reached him, and issued a 1,200-word statement supporting his action. He admitted the bill contained imperfections but added that “no tariff bill has been enacted, or ever will be, under the present system, that will be perfect.”

THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN When the roll is called for the Democratic state committee reorganization next May many neW names will be on the roster, if present indications mean anything. Among those who, it is said, will not hear their names called will be James W. Carpenter of Connersville, old Sixth district chairman; A1 Clark of Cayuga, old Fifth district chairman, and Grover Garrett of Kokomo, old Ninth district head. Two of these men hold important posts under Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state, and the dope has it that the skids are being greased in their new districts. nan Most of the territory in Carpenter’s domain has been incorporated in the new Tenth. Through virtue of his appointment as superintendent of the automobile license division, and because of Mayr’s policy of permitting his executives to fill many vacancies in their respective divisions, Carpenter has wielded much power. He is credited with having engineered the Tenth district dinner and rally last week at Newcastle, when the Mayr boom for Governor was launched. Jim was very, very busy that night. Those little birdies who do all the whispering say that Carpenter would like to become a candidate for secretary of state if the Mayr-for-Governor boom could be engineered successfully. The last legislature split Grover 1 Garrett's district and he finds himself living in the new Fifth. Garrett also swings a lot of power as chief of the state police force, the size of which is to be doubled soon. But he never was very popular in his home territory and the ax is being sharpened for him in the next district reorganization. A1 Clark’s new bailiwick, the Sixth, contains many new counties and the leaders there also are talking about anew setup. tt tt tt Back of this ousting urge in the various district organizations is said to be the pressure exerted by friends of Peters and McNutt, who feel that these chairmen have lined up with the Montgomery-Acker-Jail Fugitive Returned By Times Special SHELBYVILLE, Ind., June 3. After calmly walking out of the Shelby county jail here, Edward Dwiggins, serving a sentence for assault and battery, was found strolling along a street by Sheriff Elisha Crosby and offered no protest to being returned to the jail.

There can be no doubt that the big test of McNutt’s strength in the race for the nomination for Governor lies in Peters’ re-election as state chairman. If the insurgents gain control and oust Peters, then McNutt’s chance for the nomination will be precarious, indeed.

& The Railroad of a Great Empire A Message from L. A. Downs, President Illinois Central System. The . Illinois Central System is producer of transportation service for a great inland empire, the economic heart of the United States. Fourteen states with a population of 38,500,000 and with 56,900 industrial plants'having an output of $18,300,000,000 a year constitute this empire. This empire produces one-third of the cotton, three-fifths of the grain, one-third of the tobacco, nearly all the sugar cane, one-half of the livestock, three-tenths of the lumber, one-third of the coal and seven-tenths of the iron ore that are produced in the country. Serving this great empire day in and day out hauling its freight, carrying its passengers, contributing to its upbuilding—is the task to which the Illinois Central System is committed. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. Chicago, June 1, 1931, • This is Hie first of a series of sketches descriptive of this railroad.

CHICAGO BEOS AID OF STATE; CITY ISJROKE' Cermak Goes to Capital; Says Chaos Facing Metropolis. By United Press CHICAGO, June 3.—Mayor Anton J. Cermak and Joseph B. McDonough, Cook county treasurer, led a delegation to the state capital at Springfield today to demand that legislation be enacted at once to relieve Chicago and Cook county in a financial crisis which Cermak declared was leading to certain chaos. “If the legislature does not aid us, we must by July 1, reduce the city forces to a minimum, regardless of civil service,” said the mayor before leaving to beg that Illinois come to the assistance of its largest city. “Unless something is done at once the county will be forced on the first of every month to default on payment of bonds and interest,” said McDonough. Inability to collect tax money was blamed by officials of both city and county for the critical situation which Cermak said might make it necessary practically to discontinue

SWISS GO ELECTRICAL Kitchens Made Modern in 1930; Following Railroads’ Suit. By United Press GENEVA, June 3.—Following the electrification of its railways, Switzerland has started to electrify its kitchens. Last year over 16,300 kitchens were provided with electrical equipment as against 15,600 in 1929. Forty per cent of the new apartments erected throughout the country last year were installed with electric cooking facilities.

all city departments except the police and fire departments. Seriousness of the situation in the county became apparent Monday, when, despite the taxable wealth of approximately $40,000,000,000, it was necessary to default on payment of $1,868,400 of bonds and interest. McDonough said bonds and interest to be met during the remainder of this year would total more than $600,000 more, all of wlpch he said must be defaulted unless the legislature passes immediately a proposed law making it legal for the county to refund bonds as they become due. Mayor Cermak said that in behalf of the city he would urge and demand immediate passage of a proposed bill for consolidation of taxing bodies in Chicago. He said he believed that this, plus curtailment of city expenditures, would go far toward solving the financial crisis. He predicted dire results if the bill is not passed.

COMMISSIONERS DROP FIGHT ON JUDGE PAY HIKE SIO,OOO-Year Salary Scale Is Approved, Following Mandate Action. Discharge of several clerks and stenographers at the courthouse may be necessary to pay $48,000 In increased salaries to eight countyjudges, it appeared following agreement of county commissioners Tuesday on a SIO,OOO yearly salaryschedule for the judges. Commissioners announced they would not carry their legal fight for i reduction of the judges’ salaries from SIO,OOO to $7,000 to the supreme court, because it appeared futile. The judges recently obtained an i order from Samuel Dowden, special I circuit court judge, mandating the j county auditor to pay the higher : salaries. Mandamus petitions were filed in behalf of the judges by the 1 legal committee of the Indianapolis Bar Association. Release of the other employes ' will be necessary, it is said, because j the $48,000 is not provided for in * the 1931 budget and a legislative

Commissioners agreed to drop the fight with the understanding, it is reported, that the judges will not attempt to increase the pa 7 of court attaches. Court reporters, receiving $2,400 a year, are asking a S6OO boost and court bailiffs, drawing SI,BOO, are wanting $2,400 a year, Harvey Grabill, county attorney, advised commissioners they had the "law against them."
