This is an iniicase of only om cent over the pre-'iit rat of 86 cents. Mr. All e stated that the new rate wa- definitely d- termined after a i \ ision of liguii and a careful "heck of vaiiou- levies in the next budget. The 87 u nt late, according to Mr. Alice, i- exceptionHlly low due to the decrease in valuation: the in-nea-e in water hydiant rental, and tli $1200 expel i■ for a city election. It the ; ppiuisi mi nt and expenditures had lemuined the -aine for the new budget, th tax late would have been lower by at least 7 or 8 cents. It was believed for a time by the city ollicials that the new late would tun approximately ii to 10 c nts higlier for next year but by careful manipulrtion of the different items, the inerea-c wa- ki'[it to one cent.

The Fonlney-McCumber tariff a"*, ; passed by a Republican congress, gave agriculture higher protection than ^ any previous law, Curtis said, but “it has been found that certain of the j dutic- are not high enough,” h« said. Reiterating his proposal thu* a joint house and senate committee ik a ! solution for tin* farm relief problem, Curtis agreed that the Republican tariff protection policy should be ap- ; .died in an* effort to help agriculture. 1 He -aid the Underwood act, a low | tariff bill passed by a Democratic congress, would have been ruinous to American farmers except for the war. , “When the Underwood act reduced the tariff on butter from 6 cents to 2 1-2 cents a pound, butter imports iiu l eased more than 700 percent in
Ihi fir-t year," Curtis said.
“And in 1920, under the Underwood rate-, foreign agriculture waable to ship in over 20,000,000 pounds dl,, while under the Republican tariff of 8 cent a pnunil the imports were cut sharply, They dropped to less
than 10.000,000 pounds.
"The duty was increased to 12 rents per pound under Hie ffexible provisions of the Republiean tariff act and the imports in 1927 were about 8.000,00(1 pounds, 10,000,000 pounds less than under the Democratic low
