THE CARTER EXPRESS
SENATE PUSSES
MIFF BILE
THE PASSAGE ENDS DEBATE
OF FOUR MONTHS IN
U. S^SENATE
IT NOW GOES TO CONFERENCE
Senator Borah Only Republican To
Vote Against, While Three Demo-
crats Vote For Passage of
The Tariff Bill.
THOMAS DE Win CUYLER
Washington, D. C.—The senate pass-
ed the administration Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff bill by a vote of forty-
eight to twenty-five.
The bill was immediately sent to
the house with a request for a con-
ference. Senators McCumber, Smoot,
McLean, Simmons and Jones of New
Mexico were named the senate con-
ferees.
Whatever bitterness may have been
engendered among the republicans in
the fight for geographical advantage
was evidently eliminated at the last
moment, the vote demonstrating that
the party was practically united on
the bill.
Senator McCumber stated In the
closing hours of debate that the rates
imposed by the house have been
fereatly reduced by the senate. Witli
but one exception, dye products, the
average ad valorem duties upon man-
ufactured products are lower than in
any previous protective tariff bill, he
■aid, adding:
"It is also true that while wool and
othet; agricultural products are given
greater protection than in any other
tariff bill, manufacturers have been
given a lower compensatory rale of
duty than in any previous republican
tariff bill’*
Passage of the tariff bill brings to
a close more than a year's solid work
in both houses. The measure passed
the house July 21, 1921, and was re-
ported to the senate April 1, 1922.
The senate has worked continuous-
ly even since. The distinguishing :ea-
ture of (he debate was that it de-
veloped a marked falling away from
the traditional policies of the old line
parties on both sides. Protectionists
Were found on the democratic aisle
fend nominal free traders on the repub-
lican side.

"It' Is estimated that the customs

under the provisions of the act will
be more than $400,000,000. The appli-
cation of the rates to the imports that
will come in during the first twelve
months of its life is estimated to
show a larger average equivalent ad
valorem rate of duty than under anv
recent republican tariff legislation.”
In a statement issued immediately
after the passage of the bill, Senator
McCumber said, that the main object
of the bill had been the stabilization
of American labor.
STRIKERS GET NINETY DAYS
Tvifo Charged With Beating Frisco
Worker at West Tulsa.
Monroe, La.—Samuel Richards, a
Moorehouse parish farmer, was seized
by a band of fiftaen masked men re-
cently, carried by them into the woods
; and given a trial before a masked
judge, twelve masked jurors, with
masked prosecuting and defense at-
torneys on a charge of complicity in
the attempted murder of Dr. B. M.
McKoewon. He was acquitted and
returned to his home.
According to statements by Rich-
1 ards to parish officials, the masked
| men swooped down upon him while
i he was engaged in his farming occu-
j pations. Upon reaching the secluded
| spot In the woods near his home one
of the men assumed the role of judge,
another man was assigned to defend
him, a third to act as prosecuting at-
torney, while the remaining twelve
composed the jury.
After an investigation which follow-
ed the usual court procedure, lasting
more than an hour, in which the pros-
! ecuting attorney endeavored to con-
[ nect Richards with the assault on Doc-
j tor McKoewon, a former mayor of
Merrouge, La., who was recently fired
upon from ambush and his automobile
riddled with buckshot by unidentified
parties, the jury decided the farmer
had established a complete alibi and
ordered him released.
Richards was told that his ability
to prove an alibi had saved his life.
Following his acquittal Richards was
i eturned to his home by his captors.
No violence was attempted, he re-
ported to officers.
Washington, D. C.—Millions of dol-
lars In taxes, paid by oil men of the
United States, will be refunded, under
a ruling made by the commissioner of
internal revenue, which recognizes the
claim that owners of producing leases
are entitled to depletion deductions.
Oil men of Oklahoma, especially,
and of every other oil producing state
have made a long and vigorous fight
for this ruling. The Mid Continet Oi*
* Gas association has been especially
active In the fight. It is considered
a great victory for the association, es-
pecially since the ruling is to be made
retroactive.
Only royalty owners have been al-
lowed to make such deductions in the
past. The ruling was made on a spe-
cific case brought to the treasury de-
partment by Zumwalt, Wilson and
Garnett, counsel in taxation of Tulsa.
HEAT AFFECTS THE CROPS
Record Temperature Brings Rapid Ma-
turity In the.West
From the time a girl reaches the
age of twelve until womanhood is es-
tablished, she needs all the care a
thoughtful mother can give.
The condition that the girl is then
passing through is so critical, and may
have such far-reaching effect* upon
her future happiness and health, that
It is almost criminal for a mother or
guardian to withhold counsel or ad-
vice.
Many a woman has suffered years
of prolonged pain and misery through
having been the victim of thought-
lessness or ignorance on the part of
those who should have guided her
through the dangers and difficulties
that beset this period.
Mothers should teach their girls
what danger comes from standing
around with cold or wet feet, from
lifting heavy articles, and from over-
working. Do not let them over-study.
If they complain of headache, pains
in the back and lower limbs, they
need a mother’s thoughtful care and
sympathy.

brought rapidly toward maturity by
hot weather during the week, the
weather bureau reported in Its weekly
weather and crop review.

considerable benefit in some central
northern districts and in the extreme
lower Missouri valley, but the drouth
continued in much of the Ohio valley
and in most of the Southwest, the re
view stated. The dry weather wat
reported as hindering fall plowing Is
many middle western localities.
Harvesting of late grain crops wai
generally favored by weather condi-
tions and the work was nearing com
pletlon through most of the smalJ
grain area.
Corn was described as having made
good to excellent progress in Iowa; at
maturing in good condition in most oj
Missouri, and as having received som«
damage from drouth In Kansas and
Nebraska.

United States district court, on Harry
Sullivan and II. A. Speight, charged

FREEDOM FROM
_LAXATIVES
Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced
Them.
Pills and salts give temporary re-
lief from constipation only at the ex-
pense of permanent Injury, says an
eminent medical authority.
Science has found a newer, better
way—a means as simple as Nature
Itself.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this nat-
ural lubricant Is not sufficient. Medi-
cal authorities have found that the
gentle lubricating action of Nujol most
closely resembles tliut of Nature’s own
lubricant. As Nujol is not a laxative
it cannot gripe. It is in no sense a
medicine. And like pure water it is
harmless and pleasant.
Nujol Is prescribed by physicians;
used in leading hospitals. Get a bottle
from your druggist today.—Advertise-

New York, N. Y.—Three big steel
corporations, employing normally near-
ly 300,000 workers, announced a 20
percent wage increase for all day lab
orers in their manufacturing plants
The United States Steel corporation
took the lead, but was quickly fol-
lowed by the Midvale Steel & Ord
nance company and the Youngstown
Sheet & Tube company.
In the absence of Charles Schwab
and Eugene Grace of the Bethlehem
Steel corporation, Secretary Brown
said he did not know of any action
that had been taken on the wage ques-
tion. President Matthews of the Cru-
cible Steel corporation said his com-
pany had taken no action “as yet.” I*
was generally believed in financial clr>
cles that all important independent
steel firms would announce Increase!

Curiosity Satisfied.
A neighboring family, with relatives
from a distant city, drove away In an
automobile one morning for the coun-
try.
On their return I asked the father-

Burglar Theory Falls Down.
After the federal records in the
post office at Vicksburg had been

a balky combination lock, an expert

that burglars open all combination
safes at least once in three days was
without foundation.—Detroit News.
Exposing ths Paragon.
We were expecting guests for din-
ner. One of them was a friend of ray
husband's family, and had the repu-
tation of being a most particular cook
and housekeeper. I was, accordingly,
a trifle perturbed about the appear-
ance of the house and the dinner.
Just as I began preparations, a
neighbor’s child was seriously hurt*
and I hurried to the assistance of the
distracted mother, after giving instruc-
tions to my husband to peel the pota-
toes and put them on to boil. When
I returned, my guests had arrived. At
the table I noticed that the potatoes
had been peeled carelessly,and apol-
ogized, explaining that my husband
had done them.
The visitor said, “Your husband
didn’t do them; I did.”—Chicago
