Societies Can Aid; Presents
- Startling Figures. Regarding ,
Health of Tcople of, State
In his annual report to the State
Bpard of Health, in session here to
day, Dr. W. S. Rankin, secretary
to the board, gave the physicians
attending the session a vision of the
wide, unt6uched field for service in
curing and preventing disease; a field
that Is untouched, not because of any
fault with th-profession,. or of the
public health organization of the
state, but because of the stage of
development so far attained. It is a
field, however,, which is being
rapidly reached thru the united ef
fort of the State Board of Health
and Its agencies with the medical
profession of the state, represented
in the State . MedicaJ Society. In
his report Dr. Rankin comprehen
sively reviewed the. public health
situation in the state, and In con
clusion suggested ways in which
medical societies of every county
In the state can assist in caring for
the situation a situation which calls
for the best effort of every citizen
qualified to server . He stressed the
fact that there can be ho general
co-bperation upon the part ot the

OKIO IS SHAKEN
BY EARTHQUAKE
Considerable Property Damage
Reported; Yokohoma Also
Reported Heavy Loss
Tokio, April 26. (By Associated
Press.) The heavy earth shock,
centering in Tokio, octeurred at
10.15 this morning. Considerable
damage was done to buildings in
the city and their contents. ":
The earthquake was preceded by
an eruption yesterday of Mount
Asama Tama, 90 miles northwest of
Tokio, which broke out with a loud
report, pouring forth volumes of
ashes, stones and smoke. No serious
damage was caused by the eruption.
The ear'hquake caused the death
of a few persons, none of the vic
tims, howeveiv being Americans or
Europeans. There were many es
capes of the narrowest sort from col
lapsing chimneys and, walls.
Yokohoma was as severely shaken
as Tokio and the Chinese quarter in
Yokohama was virtually destroyed
and the water works disrupted.
The earthquake was one of the
most severe experienced here in a
long period. Officials stated It lasted
15 minutes, the longest-In years.
SEN. SIMMONS 35
Declares That If It Passes In
Its Present Form Will In
' crease Cost of Living ,
THE RATES ARE TOO HIGH
Summing ' Vp vSpecolt of 40 J'niros
Tar Heel senator says mil is
Wrought With More Punger To
j Country Than Any Bill Ever
' Passed Thresldiold of Senate
. Washington, April 20. The ad
ministration tariff bill if paused In
its present form will lead to higher
costs of living, reduced production,
unemployment antl the further
monopolization of American Indus
tries, Senator Simmons, of North
Carolina, the Democratic leader In
the tariff fight, declared today In tho
Semite. ,
VA careful study of this bill in
connection with eNlstlng conditions
here -and abroad," Senator Simmons
said, "makes It perfectly clear that
it was framed with a view main
taining present prices and to enable
tho Industries,, which It 'protects, to
further . advance theso excessively
high prices without Incurring the
risk of, foreign competition,
"A comparison of the rates im
posed In this bill with those of the
Fayne-Aldrfch bill will show that
upon the basis of the price of prod
ucts during the two periods the
only basis "of fair comparison of
equivalent ad valorpma-rthe pro
posed rates applied to present im
port prices average from 40 to 50
per cent higher than the averago
Payne-AIdrleh rates for any year
during tho life1 of that' act.
' ' "T think there can be no doubt,'
he added, "that the potential rates
of this bill are almost If not quite
double those of the present law."
8enator Simmons asserted that the
rule "manifestly" adopted and fol
lowed by the finance committee in
maintaining rates, "violates every
theory of protection heretofore
adopted or proclaimed by the cham
pions of protection, including the
Kepublican party in this country and
with the -super-added . rate-making
powers conferred upon the President
makes rnte fixing almost, as tiruch a
matter of political and personal pat
ronage as the distribution of federal
offices." '
Proposals In the bill under which
the executive could change classi
fication of forms of duty and in
crease or reduce rates was declared
by the senator to give to the execu
tive such powers heretofore not con
ferred upon any officer in this coun
try or any other, and which If con
ferred by the parliament of England
upon the king ,and his ministers,
would under their summary method
result in an Instant overthrow of the
government, . i
Turning to the question of the ef
fect of the bill on" the farmer the
speaker deciured that the prosperity
that the farmer was dependent upon
was the sale abroad of the American
surplus of farm products and that it
was a truism which nobody disputes
and a truism which even the Presi
dent of the United States has em
phasized that no nation can expect
to sell abroad even under normal
conditions, unless' they are willing
to buy abroad. Europe,, tho prin
cipal purchaser of the American sur
plus, he added, can pay for Ameri
can products only by an exchange of
goods as it is without credit or sur
plus gold. v.
"It is estimated by experts after
thoro investigation and careful cal
culation," the senator continued,
"that for" every-dollar- inoreaso -the
farmer will get as a result' of these.;
Increases, which are effective In this
bill, he will have to pay by reason
of duties on other products at least
(5. Itiis swapping dollars for quar
ters." .
Summing up his address which
covered 40 typewritten pages. Sena
tor Simmons declared the tariff bill
was "fraught with more danger to
the people of the country and the
institutions under, which we .live'
than any bill which ever crossed
the threshhold of this chamber,
"I suppose the bill Will be passed,"
he said, "passed not because It meets
tho Judgment, of this body, passed
not because a majority of seflators
subscribe to the excessive rates Im
posed on certain products of general
use or in the'determlnation of the
extraordinary powers to the execu
tive, but passed by a majority be
cause a considerable part of that
majority are willing to forego their
opposition to what they regard as
unjust impositions upon the people
in order to get concessions for those
In whom they are interested.
"If passage of the bill is accom
plished it will be the result of what
I am loathe to call a swap in the
parceling out of manifold subsidies
and gratuities carried in this bill and
thus the log rolling process, by which
it is elalmcd.the river and harbor
bills are passing, will be applied" in
levying taxes upon the people cost
ing millions of dollars."

many thrills In rapid succession at

'The Italian Statesman, aa snnmiui-s
of the conference, were- Joined by
Lloyd Ooorgs, M. Harthou. M.
Theunls, and the leaders of the les
ser states In fervently hoping- that
ths sensations had ended and that
something might really be done
about Russia, the supreme remain
ing subject for discussion. To that, -of
course, should be added Lloyd

an all-fSiiropean accord that th na

or commit -any agression . which
would excite attack.
The allies and neutral Dowers seem
determined to glv tha Russian an
other chance- to com to term, and
there is hopo that the crisis brought
on by the Soviet's latest demand
will pass. Unyd tleorge partlnularly
appreciates the difficulties In the way'
of the Russian relinquishing the
practical doctrine of the nationali

the very fundamental of th Rol
