GENEROUS MINDED CITIZENS TO - FURTHER THE GOOD CAUSE FOR RELIEF. Progress Club Signifies :Intention of Making Donation of Surplus Funds on Hand. Mrs. Leland K. Thompson, president, and Miss -Hortense Chrisner, treasurer of the Progress Club, a‘ woman’s organization of this city pursuing studies along literary lines, have signified a willingness to donate the fund in the treasury towards the relief of George Long. Some time ago Mr. Long had a leg infected with cancer amputated. He is poor but a hard working man during his years of activity and the expxpense of his illness and operation left him without means. Now it is realized with a cork leg he would be able to get about and perform some kind of labor. The cost of the artificial leg is about $125 and the purpose is to raise this sum by popular subscription. The cause is a worthy one. Ed Konkers, employed in the Ligonier street department, will become active in securing donations from working men and the fund raised will be turned over to Mr. Long for the purpose named. . The action of the Progress Club in deciding to make the donation of its surplus fund is highly praiseworthy, showing a spirit of real charity. An effort will be made to enlist the services of Chief Wolf and Officer Bowen in the collection of funds for the George Long relief. 7 " The Perry township trustee, who by reason of his office, is poormaster for Ligonier, should be able to make 3 generous appropriation from the poor | fund of the township for the purpose | outlined above. |

DECLARES THE FARMER IS NOT UNFAIRLY TREATED IN THE : FIXED SCHEDULES Claims Democratic /Success at the Polls Woul Endanger Our Won- : derful Prosperty TURKEY' RUN STATE PARK, Ind, July 21— ((Associated Press)—Neith~ er the administrations of President Coolidge nor Governor Jackson requires an apologist, deélared United States Senator James E. Watson herq today, in sounding the keynote for the Indiana republican campaign. Hundreds of G. O. P. candidates; ranging from Uunited States senators to aspirants for places on township advisory boards gathered here for a party organiation meeting. : Senator Arthur R. Robinson who 'was another speaker declared that the republican party stands militantly for the protective tariff and that in “this campaign we shall continue tg stand more confidently than ever” for this policy. : ~_The Jackson administration has entirely wiped out the state debt and promises an immediate reduction in the rate of taxation, declared Senator Watson. - : ‘“The Harding-Coolidge administrations’ he continued “have reduced thg the public debt $6,000,000,000 lowered the interest charge $200,000,000 have reduced taxes in three successive revenue acts by $1,600,000,000 have made arrangements for payments of all debts due us from foreign countries| except France have established harmonious relations with all the other nations of the earth and have ushered in an era of prosperity unequaled in the nation’s history.” =~ ¢ :

’ : The outstanding issue in the campaign will be the tariff Senator Watson declared. ; _ “From now on’ he said “the constant aim of our opponents will be to prove to the farmer that he buys in a protected market and sells in an open ‘market” thereby seeking to induce him to oventhrow the entire protective system. Before he takes such a rash step, however he should study closey 1y the existing tariff rates insofar as they affect him and likewise the history of previous efforts to -abrogate the protective tariff laws.” “Highty-six percent of all the farmer uses is admited free. Nearly everything he buys is purchased in a competitve market. On the other hang. the exisiting tariff places a higher rate of duty on all agricultural products than has ever been imposed by any tariff-in the history of thé country. The heads of farm organiations in jWashington largely fixed ithese rates and were satisfied with them. “The Underwood-Simmons tariff law correctly finterpreted ithe prin ciples of the democratic party. .It placed all farm products except a few grown exclusively in the south upon the free list while imports from abread were eargerly sought in order to produce revenue. During the first year of that law there was imported into thig country grain, butter, cheese eggs, poultry, potatoes meeat hay cattle horses, sheep wool and hides.
