CHRONOLOGY OF TARiff Bills DURING LAST 30 YEARS WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—There is considerable speculation regarding the length of time it will require for the senate to act upon the Fordney tariff bill which passed the house July 21. All estimates are merely guesses. There is only one way to approximate the time the senate will require on the tariff and that is by comparison with the length of time it has taken previous tariff legislation to go through the senate. For all who are interested in this, the following chronology of the tariff legislation of the past 30 years may be of interest. McKinley tariff: reported to the house March 4, 1890; passed the house May 21; referred to senate finance committee May 23; passed senate Sept. 10; approved by the President Oct. 6, 1890. Wilson tariff: reported to house Dec. 19, 1883; passed house Feb. 1, 1895; referred to senate finance committee Feb. 2; passed the senate July 3; became a law Aug. 15, 1894 without the signature of President Cleveland, who refused to approve it but did not veto it. Dingley tariff: reported to house March 19, 1897; passed house March 31; referred to senate finance committee April 1, passed senate July 7, approved by President July 24, 1897. Spanish-American war tariff: reported to house March 25, 1898; passed house March 29; referred to senate finance committee May 2, passed the senate June 4, approved by President June 1, 1898. Payne-Aldrich law: reported to house March 17, 1909; passed the house April 9; referred to senate finance committee April 10, passed the senate July 8, approved by the President Aug. 5, 1909. Underwood tariff: reported to the sovereign people. This should go on and on. To this end every citizen should study public questions and make his or her own convictions thereon. CONGRESS WORKING NOW WITH DISPATCH The impulse is strong among the people to complain of the dailying of congress. Too often there are grounds for complaints of this nature. But at present congress is making such legislative haste as absolves it from just criticism on that score. Such progress has been made that tentative agreement has been reached between the Capitol and the White House that both houses are to recess for a month, beginning Aug. 20. This is conditional, however, upon the enactment in the meantime of the agricultural credits measure, and the passage thus the house, of the tax revision bill. President Harding assents to the recess with the understanding that committee activities during the recession period actually would expedite important legislation which he is urging. Congress, in other words, is not going off to play, to the neglect of urgent legislative business. Members of important committees have opportunity to work without interruption in committee rooms when congress is not in session. But when the sessions are on, members must need he drawn frequently away from their committees to be present in congress. Following the recess, tariff, tax and railroad refunding measures will come before congress with assurance of expenditious consideration and early action.

More, we must combat the menace in the growing assumption that the state must support the people, for just governt is merely the guaranty to the people of the right and opportunity of that people to support themselves. The one outstanding danger of today is the tendency to turn to Washington for the things which are the tasks or the duties of the 48 commonwealths which constitute the nation. Having wrought the nation as the central power of preservation and defense, let us preserve it so."—President Harding at tercentary celebration of Pilgrims' landing. Letters From People The Plain Dealer: We wish to express publicly our endorsement of the manner in which the special Chamber of Commerce committee, viz.: Messrs. Ahlborn, Riley and McFaddon, disposed of the matter of furnishing remedial aid for indigent crippled children and the raising of funds for the same. We heartily endorse their action in commending the Board of Supervisors in its plan of obtaining surgical aid and hospital care for these children. The two methods employed by the supervisors were explained in detail in our report to directors of Chamber of Commerce. Also briefly explained, in a later communication from T. B. Talberi, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, to special Chamber of Commerce committee. Both reports were published in our Anaheim papers. Thru an oversight no doubt, the committee failed to mention the splendid work done in this connection, by our County Social Service Department, which is maintained by our taxpayers, thus our supervisors. Mrs. J. H. Leebrick, who so efficiently heads this department, works in conjunction with County Aid Commissioner Gregg, whose duty it is to look after all indigent cases of every character. Inasmuch as the supervisors, for some months previous to this date, have been leaving the management of these particular cases to the County Aid Commissioner and Social Service Dept., and also tell us that they expect to continue that same policy in the future, it seems hardly necessary for the Chamber of Commerce to foster plans for organizing an association for the same purpose. However may we suggest VETERANS' RELIEF SOON TO BE AVAILABLE Extremely gratifying to World War veterans and their friends are the definite measures being adopted at Washington for relief for disabled ex-service men. The so-called Sweet measure was passed by Congress and has been approved by President Harding. This provides for consolidation of bureaus and agencies that heretofore have handled relief activities to eliminate bed tape, prevent distressing delays and to correct the abuses and neglectful treatment of deserving veterans. The president has named Charles R. Forbes as director of the consolidated bureau for veterans relief and Mr. Forbes already has already consulted the President about plans for caring adequately in promptly for all disabled veterans of the World War. This is a labor of justice which deals in mixed with love and tenacity. These brave boys should be out meets their needs require, with sufficient limitation and without insults. KEEP COMMAND WITH PUBLICTION Lord Bryce issues in other lands that in this and form of democratizing the highest great weakness of government, a system in the lack of governmental control on the part of so large oppression, of the people, of the eleven percentage lessees of government and fatal problems and economic issues. In many cases and the course of action on leadership there is too much blindness upon leadership. This would not be. It is not so in other parts of this country as it was independent. There is a growing tension in politics thought and of acting their leaders the people are guild measure.

However we have no thot of thanks.

Several calls have come to the Farm Bureau office for information regarding some forage crop that can be grown on highly alkaline soil. There is a perennial grass native of Southern Africa that has been very successfully grown on many of the abandoned acres of the South. Rhodes grass is a fine stemmed very leafy plant grown to average height of three feet. The plant spreads by means of runners which may be fro mtwo to six feet or more in length. These root at every node, establishing new plants which again send out unright shoots producing a dense pasturage. Orange-co climatic conditions are thought to be very good for this grass. Through the raising of the water table and in turn the rise of alkali in many sections the growing of alfalfa or fruit trees has been made impossible. Rhodes grass is not exacting as to soil as it is being grown on reclaimed peat land and lands of heavy adobe character, containing much alkali. This grass makes a sweet tender hay and liked by all classes of stock. On fairly good soils from five to eight inches still further unsettle program.

The age still further unsettled the mom. The Farm Bureau's argument before the agricultural commitment there was no justice in retreat the corporations with large gifts of their excess profit tax, relieving wealthy individuals higher surtaxes, nor in keeper transportation tax which affill the people and which is domore than any other one to rehear return of prosperity, seems we borne fruit, as it was rethat there were more than hundred Republicans who refused along any further in this program can afford to reduce any of the taxes, but when it can it should begin with the taxes that affect all the people, and not with those that will only relieve the wealthy and the most prosperous corporations. The Republican leaders are going to appeal to the President, as the leader of the party, to force the recalcitrant members into line, as it does not seem possible to carry out the program otherwise. "It is the duty of the agricultural population to convince the President that they look to film to see that when taxes can be reduced the begining should be made with those tax reductions, which will do the greatest good to the greatest number. The effort to convince congress and the people that 'all our domestic taxes are eventually passed on to the ultimate consumer' has stumbled over the $18,000,000,000 worth of tax-free securities and the eagerness of the corporations for the repeal of the excess profits tax. The truth is becoming apparent to the people generaly. If the people will let their congressmen know how they feel, the surtaxes will not be lowered and the excess profits tax will not be repea- NEW S. A.
