BURDENS PLACED
ON FARMERS BY
TARIFF REVISION
Senator George .Says Measure
Will Put Agriculture In
Worse Condition
ASKS HOOVER FOR ACTION
Washington. June 30?A prediction
that the fanner would be in a worse
position after the new tariff bill is
enacted than he was before the extra
sessioh. was made today By senator"
George, of Georgia, a Democratic t
member of one of the four senate fi
nance sub-committees now holding
hearings on the~ffijuse tarifi measure.
In a statement Issued through the
Democratic national committee. Sen- J
aior George declared It was more and
more apparent as the tariff hearings
progress, e^jeclallv with respect to
?wool, that "there is not to be a re
vision of the tariff In the Interest of
agriculture or a limited revision in j
the interest of depressed Industry."
"11 President Hoover desires to con
fine tariff revision within the limits
indicated in his message to the con
gress." he added, "it is now clear that1
he must assume the responsibility of
leadership."
All through the hearings, the Sen- i
ator declared, the farmer "Tlaci been
"tracked by the manufacturer demand
ing and receiving a compensatory
duty every time an agricultural pro
duct has been transferred from the
free list to the dutiable list or the
duty on an agricultural product has
been raised."
Since the producers of farm prod
ucts were demanding protection on
practically all of their products and
were In a position to have , their de
mands met through a coalition of
??tie-Pemocrato and independent West
em Republicans, the Georgian said it
?was "obvious that the So-called com
pensatory duties, which in many in
stances run as high as 400 per cent
above a fair compensatory rate to the
manufacturers, will place upon the
products of nearly all farm products
a burden far in excess of the Special
benefits received by any one of them.
That the Western faTm bloc mem-,
bers meant business when they re
cently organized and allotted tariff
subjects lor study to each "member is
Indicated by the attendance at several
of the sub-committee sessions of mem
bers of the group They confine tha.
revision to agricultural products and
Republican regulars declare openly
that they expect trouble from the
_ group when the bill reaches the sen
ate* floor.

back Into the Democratic party.
However, he added, "all prejudice
: Is not confined to any one party or i
to any one church. They are all!
tinged with it."

BIG COPPER STILL
Twenty-One Quarts'Of Whisky
And Seventy-Five Pounds
Of Sugar Found
Sheriff M. T. Clayton and Deputy
R. W. Dixon made a successful raid
Tuesday afternoon In the ? section be
tween Bakersvllle and Loch Lilly and
were rewarded for their efforts by
finding a complete copper still out
fit in full blast. The operators, a
white man ar.d boy was on the watch
and fled with rapid speed upon the
approach of the otficers and wero
successful in getting away. The
"moonshiners" tare getting pretty
shrewd now. they don't even waste
time to build a furnace for the ket
tle. as this particular^ne was mount
ed on rocks, similar to the way a
washerwoman mounts her wash pot.
The outfit, together with twenty one
quarts of whiskey and seventy-five
pounds of sugar was brought to town
where it will be confiscated.
"I do not propose to vote to appro
priate a penny to enforce the Eigh
teenth Amendment until similar sums
are voted to enforce the* other a- j
msndments now betn? violated all
through the South."
De Priest Said that as a Congress
man he will pay as much attention
to the needs of his white constituents
as to those who are black
"Only in one respect will I insist on
favoring Nogroes. and that Is In my
recommendations for appointments to
West Point and Annapolis. As long
as I am.In Congress III appoint only
Negroes to those two schools, or until
some white Congressman appoints a
NegTO. ?
"I want to thank the Democrats
the South for one thing?they were
so barbarlt; they drove my parents
to the North. If It hadn't been for
that I wouldn't be in Congress to
day.
"I've been Jim, Crowed. Segregated,
persecuted, and I think I know how
best the Negro can put a stop to be
in? Imposed upon. It Is through the
ballot. tHrough organization, throuh.
fighting eternally for his rights."
De Priest's referente to "driving
his parents to the l^orth." hearkened
back to his childhood In nothem
Alabama There he ? "Witnessed the
lynching of three Negroes near his:
home, and after that his parents'
moved to Kansas and later to Chl-|
cago.
While the 2.090 persons In the hall
where the Congressman spoke cheere-i!
him loudly and long, another 1.000
stood outside, unable to again admit- [
