I . PAGE TWO ! TARIFF COSTING 1 U. S. MILLIONS!' $ Woman Congressman Tells 1 How Favoritism Costs { American Farmers r CITES MANY EXAMPLES t WASHINGTON, JUNE 4,?That every farmer and every household 1 in the land is not only now com- c pelled to pay heavy tribute to special interests, but will be forced to pay 1 more by reason of highly discriminatory features of the pending c Hawley-Smoot tariff revision bill has been clearly revealed during de- ? bate in the House of Representa- ! tives while that bill has been under 1 consideration during the last two ( weeks. For proof of this, one does not have to rely on Democrats who c are opposing the bill, for abundance of it may be had from Re .. publican sources. ' /During the recent debate, Ruth , Baker Pratt, congresswoman from ? New York, not only read into the ? Record a severe denunciation of the ? proposed three cents a pound duty on sugar made on behalf of the < working classes by William Green, ? president of the American Federation of Labor, but also herself declared the proposed levy, which will take tribute from every household , in the land, could not be justified. < It is proposed to make the duty on \ refined sugar three cents per pound < nd that on Cuban raw sugar 2.4 " cents per pound. Such a duty amount to a tariff exaction from the American public of more than $300,000,000 per year, for no matter what price sugar may sell at, three ^ cents of it would be due directly t to the tarif. And this proposal is , made for an industry which is able ? to supply less than one-fifth of the t total sugar consumption of the j country, an industry largely in the ? hands of a few beet sugar kings and an industry which in large part em- ^ ploys Mexican peon labor. Thus not ^ only would American laborers be not 5 benefited by the sugar duty, but ^Ka*? a n *TTa11 A f ATTArnr V?Allf?attm ^a tiicjr ao wen ao cvuiy uvuocwuc in ^ the land would have to pay toll to t the beet sugar trust, which even c under present rates is harvesting enormous dividends, some of the ? companies at the rate of more than t 40 per cent annually, and much of j this on watered stock. ( Not only would the farm homes v pay thirty per cent or more of the g tribute proposed to be levied in be- f half of the beet sugar kings, but the farmers are already paying huge exactions to special interests which are the particular beneficiaries of the discriminatory tariff policies of the Republican administraton, policies which have already broughi serious distress upon the agricultural industry and which it is now proposed to make even more discriminatory under the proposed HawleySmott tariff bill. This was shown clearly on Republican authority a few days ago when Representative Browne of Wisconsin, a Republican, placed in the Congressional Record a comparison of prices on farm im plements in 1914, under the Wilson Democratic administration, and in 1929. In 1914, the price of an ordinary hand corn sheller was $8. Today, according to Representative Browne, it is $17.50, an increase of more than 100 per cent. A walking cultivator for which a farmer paid $18 in 1914 now costs him $38, another increase of more than 100 per cent. A riding cultivator which cost $25 in 1914 now costs the farmer who is able to buy one at all $62, an increase of almost 150 per cent. A sulky plow for which the farmer paid $40 in 1914 now sells for $75. A three-section harrow which sold for $18 in 1914, now sells for $41. A mowing machine which cost the farmer $45 in 1914, sells in 1919 rjyf\ w Wuv,. ^ Roof Leak? DON'T wait for your walls, ceilings and furnishings to be ruined.

Compared with ten or more years igo, when there was a Democratic \ idministration, the farmer's dollar ii s now worth less than 70 cents. In |i )ther words, what the farmer gets I 'nr what he produces has not in-1 ireased in price anything- like the j T ;hings he must buy, and many of : ;he proposed rates in the pending! 3awley-Smoot tariff bill would j _ viden the disproportion in tariff " jenefits from which the farmer is t t ilready suffering and intensify the ] t liscrimination practiced against the c tgricultural industry. g Six Months Added \ To Sinclair Sentence r WASHINGTON, June 3. ? The sentences imposed upon Harry F. Sinclair, Henry Mason Day and W. Srerman Burns for having the FallSinclair Teapot Dome jury shadow- t ;d were upheld today by the Sup- t erne Court, but the 15-day sentence p >n William J. Burns was disapprov- ? :d. t Leo A. Rover, United States at- : orney, who prosecuted Sinclair, said I he oil man would start serving the i ;ix months sentence for criminal :ontempt as soon as he completed he present three months sentence or refusing to answer questions isked by the Senate. While Sinclair and Albert B. Fall, ormer secretary of the interior, vere facing trial on charges of conipiracy in connection with the leasng of the Wyoming oil field to the >il operator the case was suddenly erminated and the jury was dis:harged. Sinclair subsequently was sentenc- j id to six months in jail for con- j empt; Henry Mason Day, one of lis assistants, received a sentence )f four months. William J.
