Workman's Life One
~ Tax After Another
Underwood Of Alabama
l Shows surden of High
Tariff on the Common
’ People
L e
Washington, Aug. 23.—1 n a
statement which is to be used as a
Democratic campaign document.
Majority Leader Oscar Underwood
gave a vivid illustration of the
burden which he claims the bigh
tar'ff inflicts upon the public, The
majority leader described a labor
ing man and sought to show how
!everything he used is increased in
value because of the protective
tariff. The statement follows:
“Under the present oppressive
taritf law the laboring man returns
at night from his toil, clad in a
woolen suit, taxed 75 per cent,
shoes taxed 12 per cent, socks and
underwear 17 per cent, a cotton
shirt taxed 50 per cent and a wool
hat and woolen gloves taxed 78
per cent.
“‘He carries a dinner pail taxed
45 per cent, and greets his wife as
she looks through a window pane
taxed 62 per cent with a curtain
taxed 43 per cent in front of him.
TAX, TAX, TAX, TAX,
‘*After scraping his shoes on an
iron scraper, taxed 75 per cent, he
wipes them on a mat taxed 50 per
cent. He lifts the door latch, tax
ed 45 per cent, steps on a carpet
taxed 62 per cent and kisses his
his wife, who is clad in a woolen
dress taxed 75 per cent, She is
mending an umbrella taxed 50 per
cent with thread taxed 30 per cent.
“The house is made of brick
taxed 24 per cent and lumber taxed
9 per cent, with paint taxed 32
per cent. Tce wall paper is taxed
25 per cent and the plain furniture
35 per cent, He hangs his pail on
a steel pin taxed 45 per cent, uses
soap taxed 20 per cent and combs
his hair with a rubcer comb taxed
35 per cent. ;
“‘He eats his supper which was
cooked on a stove taxed 45 per
cent, in pots and kettles taxed 45
per cent, On their table is com
mon crocker taxed 55 per cent and
cheap glass tumblers taxed 45 per
cent. The sugar he puts in his
tea is taxed 54 per cent and he
stirs it with a spoon taxed 45 per
cent. .
AND STILL MORE TAX,
“His frugal meal ccusists of
salt fish, taxed 10 per cent, bread
20 per cent, potatoes 82 per cent,
salt 33 per' cent, butter 24 per
cent and rice 62 per cent. He eats
this with a knife and fork taxed
40 per cent. He sleeps in an iron
frame bed taxed 45 per cent, with
a mattress taxed 20 per cent,
sheets 45 per cent, woolen blankets
75 per cent and a cotton spread
taxed 45 per cent.”
Representative Underwood re
viewed in detail the legislation
passed by the Democratic house,
declaring +hat he would have end
ed this ‘““outrageous general taxa
tion,” and asserting that the Re
publicans by breaking faith on
tariff legislation bad shown the
general policy to be one of ‘‘mis
conduct, extravagance and greed.”
Soldiers Will Cross
' Bats With Convicts
Atlanta, Aug. 26.—A game un
ique in the history of baseball is
being planned for Saturday of
this week on the diamond at the
Federal penitentiary. A team
made up of regular soldiers from
the 17th Infantry stationed at
Fort McPherson will cross bats
with Uncle Sam’s convicts.
The prisoners have a regular
intra-wall league of their own,
and they will pick from the va
rious teams an all-star team to
meet the soldiers. The Fort Mc-
Pherson team is strong and a
hot game is expected.

Commissioners
Contest.
[ With two counties having a con~
'vention strength of four votes still
[to be heard from, Judge Nash R.
!LBroyles, of Atlanta, has according
to the official consolidated votes
from 144 counties, a majority of
ieig‘ht; convention votes over Judge
Pottle in their race for the court
of appeals.
Until the receipt at a late hour
Friday night of the results in
Lincoln .and Union counties the
outcome of this race was consider
avly in doubt, although Judge
proyles was slightly in the lead.
The four counties still to be heard
from would have, however, chang
ed this lead in favor of Pottle had
the south Georgia candidate re
ceived them all, With the receipt
of the information that both Lin
coln and Union counties had given
Judge Broyles handsome majori
ties, however, his election was
assured, the total vote of the other
two counties, Charlton and Towns,
being insuffidient to overcome the
majority of the Atlanta man.
MAY WIN BY SINGLE COUNTY
In case these two counties do go
into the Pottle- column, it will
mean that Judge_, Broyles will
have won by the slight margin of
a single county. Had he lost a
single county that be carried the
result would have been a co ven
tion vote of 184 for each candid .te.
It is probable, however, that‘
Judge Broyles will carry Towas
county, which isin the extremei
northern part of the state, without
telegraphic or telephonic conrec
tion and that Judge Podtle will
carry Charlton county, a large
part of which is covered by the
Okerfenokee swamp on the border
of the Florida state line. This}
would give Judge Broyles a con
vention vote of 188, with 180 votes‘
for his opponent,
Of the 144 counties heard from
Judge Pottle has carried 73 and
Judge Broyles 71, the latter’s
larger convention strength being
accounted for in the fact that he
carried four out of the six 6-vote
counties of the state.
BROYLES THANKS FRIENDS
I am very grateful to the peo
ple of Georgia for placing me on
the court of appeals,” said Judgel
Broyles Kriday. “‘To my friends
who so warmly supported me all !
over the state I owe a debt f
gratitude that I can never repay.
To those who voted against me I
have nothing but the kindest feel
ings. As I said in my announce
ment when 1 entered the race, I
am a Georgian who knows no sec
tions in his state, and I shall while
upon the bench consecrate my en
ergies and whatever ability I may
possess to the service of the whole
state of Greorgia.” ;
THE COMMISSIONER’S RACE 1
There were only slight changes
in the race for commissioner of
agriculture, as the result of the
returns received on Friday,
~ The contest will go to the con
vention, to be decided trere, as no
candidate has sufficient votes to
elect him. With only two coun
ties missing, the convention vote
1s as follows:
J J. Brown, 142, J. D. Price,
122; A. O. Blalock, 100.

Uncle Sam’s Railroad.
Atlanta, Ga.—That the net
earnings of Uncle Sam’s railroad
across the Isthmus of Panama
for 1911 amounted more than half
the cost, is a fact disclosed in re
cent government reports which
is both widely co ' mented on in
local railroad circles.
But coupled with that fact is the
additional fact that the rates
which the government charges
itself for hauling its own freight
are very much lower than the
rates chargel for handling com
mercial business. The former,
according to the reports, isabcut
2 cents per ton per mile, while
the commercial rate is about 7
cents. The inequalties in freight
rates are prohibited in the United
States by the inter-state com
merce reg: lations.
The govergment’s net earnings
per miie were about $39,000; and
+h» average net earnings of rail
roads in the States is less than
$4,000 per mile.
