TARIFF REFORMS WILL
CUT COST OF LIVING BY
JULY 1, SAYS HOWARD
“Tariff legislation will be started by
congress at its short session, which be
gins December 2, and the bills put in
shape for passage at the extra session
to be called for April. And they will be
passed, with a reduction of not less
than 50 per cent on the great staple
commodities. The American people will
profit by a reduced cost of living within
a few months after the Democratic
congress convenes. The reduction will
be actual, definite, easily felt by the
consumers,” said Congressman William
Schley Howard today at his home in
DeKalb county, just outside Atlanta.
He discussed the outlook for national
legislation with more than ordinary en
thusiasm, and declared that the pledges
of the platform would be carried out in
letter and spirit and without delay.
“I believe that an extra session of
congress will be called by President
Wilson for not later than April 16," he
said. “And this session will reduce the
tariff not less than 50 per cent on wool,
cotton manufactures, steel, farm imple
ments, meats and sugar.
Sees Rout of Trusts.
“As to trust legislation, I believe
Woodrow Wilson will appoint an attor
ney general who will start and prose
cute to the end an honest, vigorous and
efficient campaign against the trusts,
and jail some of the law-breaking offi
cials who hitherto have escaped. I do
not know’ who this attorney general
will be, but I am willing to underwrite
the guarantee that President Wilson’s
appointee will get results. When Mr.
Wilson said no honest manufacturer
need fear a Democratic administration
it was a warning to the wet-nursed
trusts of the Republican administration
to take to the woods."
Mr. Howard had gone over The
Georgian's bulletins and spoke of the
accuracy of its early returns, particu
larly in its declaring the election of a
Democratic senate.
“I am some prophet myself," he said,
with a laugh. “At the Five Points ral
ly Saturday night I predicted Taft
would carry only three slates, naming
Vermont and Utah, and he got only
three. I also declared Wilson would
get the heaviest electoral vote of any
president since the Civil war, and that
was right, too.
“The next session of congress—the
old congress—will convene on Decem
ber 2,” continued Mr. Howard "Oscar
Underwood will obtain perini.-sion from
the house for the waysand means com
mittee to hold tariff hearings through
out the session and after It. And th,
tariff bills, which will be made up sep
arately, will be published and dissemi
nated throughout tin country Tho
interested will !>.• given full hearings
before the < ommittee And as soon a
the extra ov* dun the Democratic con-
gress—is called, the tariff bills will be
brought up and passed. They will be
sane and reasonable,' and they will re
duce the tariff on the commodities I
- named not less than 50 per cent. They
should be passed and in effect by the
end of July.
Underwood to Lead Tariff Moves.
"Mr. Underwood w ill be the leader of
tariff matters in the house. Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, may be
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee and handle the tariff there, un
less his record on the lumber tariff
causes him to be considered irregular
and of the Bailey type. In that event
the choice would be between Senator
Stone, of Missouri, or John Sharp Wil
liams, of Mississippi, the latter having
had experience on the ways and means
■ committee of the house. The extra
session will adjourn by August 1.
“As to banking and currency legisla
tion, that will depend largely upon the
findings of the house committee now
making an investigation. It is in
evitable. and great necessity, that
the Democrats darry out their pledges
along the lines of reform In banking
and currency legislation.
“The coming congress will carry out
its plank of lending Federal aid to pub
lic highways. lam especially interest
ed in this matter, as I introduced the
first hill in the sixty-second congress
to this end and,- the house passed an
appropriation of $17,500,000 for this
year, which was defeated in the senate.
It will pass the senate this year, and
• Federal highways will be a reality.
I Georgia certainly should have her share
of tills work.”

BHMNIIS
MAIL CID BANDIT
One of Trio Shot Down While
Robbing Train—Others Flee
With Registered Bags.
REDDING, CAL., Nov. 9.—Armed
posses today are searching through the
mountains north of here for two train
robbers who rifled the registered mail
aboard the north-bound Shasta limited
on the Southern Pacific railway last
night. The third robber was shot and
killed by’ Brakeman Tom Sanford.
The holdup occurred at Delta, 35
miles north of here. The heavy train
had stopped for water before the climb
up the grade toward the California-
Oregon line. While ft was standing,
tw’o men crawled into the mail car and
a third boarded the tender of the en
gine. A hundred yards beyond the
tank the engine exploded a torpedo that
the highwaymen had placed on the rail.
The train came to a stop and one of the
robbers climbed over the tender and
covered Engineer Henry Wentz with a
revolver. Sanford was the first of the
crew to realize what had happened. He
ran back to a saloon that stood near
the track at Delta and borrowed a re
volver. Then running along the train,
keeping well in the shadows, he saw
the robber in the engine cab and fired,
The. bandit fell to the ground dead. The
other robbers, hearing the shot, jumped
from the mail car. They carried the
registered mail with them.
News of the robbery was sent out
and the sheriff hastily formed a posse
and started in pursuit.
It is believed that the robbers will
try to make th. ir way either northwa'd
to the Oregon line, or into the rough,
timbered and unsettled country lying
between the railroad line and the coast.
Oregon authorities have been warned to
look out for them. /

Atlanta Recruiting Office Does
Brisk Business Despite the
Seven-Year Rule.
The United States government’s re
cruiting station on Carnegie way, just
off Forsyth street, is doing a good busi
ness, despite the new army order re
quiring enlistment for seven years,
which went into effect November 1
Lieutenant James A. Gallogly, of the
Coast Artillery corps, who recently took
charge of the office, has enlisted a
score who have found no objection ti
the extension of time, and has many
more who are figuring on enlistment.
The new army order requires that en
listments shall be for seven years, in
stead of three, but only three or foui
years actually must be served, and the
rest of th< time be taken on furlough
at the discretion of the individual. A
man who enlists can serve three years
ami be subject to recall for four years,
or he can serve four and go on fur
lough three; or he can re-enlist for
another seven-year term, either at the
end of three, four or seven years. The
idea In the seven-year term is to keep
a sufficient number of men in touch
w ith the army to Insure a considerable
military force at all times, rather than
that the army should dwindle as it hat
In the past. In twenty years the army
reserves would number 300,000.
The officials at the local recruiting
station believe the new plan is better,
and they expect little objection to it.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles H. Barth,
the new adjutant general of the Depart
ment of the Gulf, also sees Improve
ment.
“I recall a queer system that for
merly was in vogue in the army,” he
declared. “That was about 1890, when
a man could enlist for three years, go on
furlough three months and then decide
w hether or not he would serve the other
two years. The plan worked poorly for
the government, because the men us
ually wanted to keep on in the civil
life after they -had hud three months
of it. Then the officials put the term
of service back to three years, and it
li.is been there ever since until the
present change.”
