NEW TARIFF BILL
Tennessee Senator Renews
Democratic Attack on
Senate Measure.
— 1
By the Associated Press.
Resuming the minority opposition,
Senator McKellar, Democrat. Tennessee,
said in the Senate today that if the
Republican party can pass the pending
tariff bill, “they cannot only get by with
stealing from the Government, but they
can get by with murder.”
President Hoover, the speaker said,
did not recommend a general revision
of the tariff "such as this bill proposes.”
/ reading of this tariff bill shows
how -r the Republican partv has mis
interpreted the meaning of President
Hoover’s message. McKellar said, and
how far they have departed from giv
ing aid to the farmers.
Calls Bill General.
‘‘ln this bill they revise all the relied
ules of the tariff and create a free
list." he said. “In doing this they are

trying to enact a general tariff bill in
the Interest of industry rather than in
the Interest of the farmer.”
About the only thing the fanner
would get out of the bill, he continued,
would be the privilege of buying dia
monds free of duty.
Benator McKellar enumerated a long
list of articles with increased rates on
which he said the farmer would have
to 'pay more Tor his purchases. One of
these was aluminumware.
Declaring “Uncle Andy Mellon” had a
“great aluminum trust,” he said it was
true that this “trust” was making all
the money in the world, and yet the
farmer would be charged 9 cents a
pound on the aluminum he uses
He cited knives, leather, tobacco,
razors, surgical instruments, shotguns
and rifles as being “taxed higher than
a cat’s back” in the bill, and that
watches, a necessity of the farmer,
would be increased in price enormously.
Names Sewing Machines.
He listed the proposed higher rat* on
sewing machines as a “tax against the
farmer’s wife,” and poked fun at the
Republicans for offsetting this by plac
ing “skeletons on the free list.”
He facetiously listed many articles on
the free list as being "useful” to the
farmer, among them Brazilian pebbles,
fish sounds, gold and silver, bones, dia
monds, horsehair, joss sticks, radium,
shrimps, truffles and turtles.
“Now. when all of these articles come
In absolutely free under this Republican
tariff measure.” he said, “how ran any
body farmer least of all—
because these things are so absolutely
necessary to the farmer.”
HEFLIN DEMANDS
RASKOB GET OUT
Says Chairman’s “Machine”
Being Used to Sponsor
Smith’s Candidacy.
By the Associated Press.
Resignation of what he described as
the “Raskcb machine” was demanded
in a statement today by Senator Heflin,
Democrat. Alabama, who said the Dem
ocratic party was being used as a pri
vate agency to promote the presidential
candidacy of Alfred E< Smith. !r. 1932.
This action, he added, was “usurpation.”
The Democratic meeting arranged by
the Massachusetts Democratic State
committee last Saturday night, he as
serted, actually was “a Smith rally,”
which should convince Democrats that
the former New York Governor is a
candidate.
“When the meeting was in full
swing," the Senator continued, “Former
Representative and ex-Mayor James M.
Curley of Boston stirred his Roman ad
mirers to a high pttrh of enthusiasm
when he declared amid great applause.
that 'Alfred E. Smith would be triumph
antly elected President In 1932.’ ”
He added that Jouett Shouse, whom
he referred to as the Raskob-Tammany
representative in Washington, was pres
ent.
Shouse is chairman of the executive
committee of the Democratic national
committee, with headquarters in Wash
ington.
“Verily, the time has come,” Heflin
said, “for the Raskob regime to retire
and give the Democratic party a chance
to live and, be free again as it was be
fore it was. tied to this Tammany body
of political death.”
