Franklin D. Roosevelt, has offered to relieve the existing depression is an adjustment of the tariff. Since Mr. Roosevelt has also denominated the present tariff law as a tragedy, and cited it as the cause of the depression, we ran only infer that he proposes to REDUCE IT.

In the light of this single specific proposal for business recovery, it is useful to recall what the last Democratic administration did to 'help" domestic prosperity by a revision of the tariff. Under that Democratic tariff measure, steel rails, among oilier articles of domestic manufacture, were admitted lo this country FREE OI' DUTY. On March 18, 1915, one of the great railroad companies operating out of Chicago imported into this country $1,000,000 worth of steel rails. Those rails were transported into Chicago through the neighboring; city of Gary. Every steel plant in Gary was IDLE.

Thr railroad company which purchased the rails saved $100,000 on their cost, but the saving was made at the expense of the STEEL WORKERS of Gary. At the present moment there is a huge need of all kinds of railroad equipment. Just as scion as the transportation business re-rovers, hundreds of millions of dollars must be spent by the railroads of America to rehabilitate their rights of way and their rolling stock. Shall those hundreds of millions of dollars, providing work for the hundreds of thousands of individuals, be spent in this country behind the protective wall of an American tariff, or shall they be spent abroad where both wage scales and standards of living are lower and where materials can undoubtedly be purrhased more cheaply than here? Do we actually contribute to the solution of our economic problem when we reduce the cost of articles in use here by importing them from abroad at the expense the American wnrkingman who must remain idle while we contribute to the prosperity of foreign manufacturers? With millions of men out of work, many of them for the first time in their lives compelled to accept harity to keep their families from starving, is this sound public policy? Is this the sort of remedy which appeals to you as good business sense? Industry has grown to its present greatness under thr protection of a tariff which permitted American manufacturers to pay wages far in excess of those paid anywhere else in the world. This most acute problem today is to return to gainful employment the heads of the families who are now being supported by unemployment relief.

Are we more likely lo attain this objective by lowering the barriers against foreign manufactures, or by raising that wall higher still, as President Hoover proposes, to equalize the advantage which foreign manufacturers now have in this market because of the depreciated currencies abroad? The Republican party, since its birlh, has hern the sponsor of the protective tariff principle. Under the operation of that principle the nation has grown to its present industrial preeminence. Shall we at a time when insistence upon the protective principle is vital to millions of unemployed intrust our future to a party which has been a traditional low-tariff party, and only recently grudgingly admitted the soundness of the protective principle? This question touches the lives and happiness and welfare of every man, woman and child. Its importance should not be obscured by any other consideration whatsoever. Shall we go forward under an assured protection which success of the Republican ticket would provide, or shall we plunge the country into a period of doubt and hesitation concerning the protective tariff which the success of the Democratic ticket would provoke? What we need arulely is a rrsloration of confidence.

The reelection of Presidrnt Hoover would give us that confidence. The election of Roosevelt would usher in an era of doubl. Thoroughly Good Government Must i) Careful of Expenses, Declares Candidate Walter J. Kohler. Kohlcr, Wis.

(Special) "No wasteful government can be a thoroughly good government," Walter J. Kohler, Republican nominee for governor, declared here today in a statement at the conclusion of several weeks of intensive campaign-ins. We can make satisfactory progress in Wisconsin only by insisting that every dollar of tax money shall purchase a full dollar's worth of service and benefit for the people," Mr. Kohler added. "In order that economic recovery in Wisconsin may be speeded and the future development of the state secured, it is essential public activities be prosecuted as efficiently as humanlv Dossible.

"Law enforcement must be effectively carried on. "The services and rates of utilities and carriers must be thoroughly-regulated.

"State trust funds must continue to be vigilantly guarded, as they have been under the present annuity and investment board. "Every practicable step must be taken to strengthen our banking institutions.

"A well-balanced highway program must be carried on. "There must be a coordination of police activities to curb the gangsters, bank robbers, highwaymen and extortionists. "High educational standards and adequate facilities must be upheld in order that our future citizenship may be of a high order.

"At. the same time, we have the duty as a people of rendering some help to those of our lenow citizens who are suffering the sharpest distressthose who are destitute because of unemployment, and those whose homes and farms, representing the fruits of a lifetime of hard work, we can help to save by some lightening of their tax burden.

47, Maplewood, a witness in the killing of a prohibition agent during the raid on the Rising Sun brewery in Elizabeth in 1920, was shot and killed early today and a policeman assigned to guard him was seriously injured by gunmen who escaped. Gobel was a fireman in the Ris ing Sun brewery at the time Agent John G. Finiello was shot and killed during a federal raid. He has been working as a fireman at another plant.

New Trial For Negroes, Court Riding Washington ll'l The supreme court today set aside the death sen tences imposed on seven Negroes at Scottsboro. Ala. The ruling by the court means that the cases will go back to Ala bama courts for a new trial.

The highest court upheld the con tention of counsel for the Negroes, convicted of assaulting two white girls, that they had not had a fair trial. The decision by Justice Sutherland reviewed in detail the charges and the grounds on which the appeal was taken. He said it was necessary in deciding the case to consider only whether the rights of the men to have counsel was denied and whether this infringed the 'due process' clause of the Fourteenth amendment. Justice Sutherland said that the men from the time of their arraignment to the beginning of trial had been substantially denied counsel at a time such representation was of vital importance in properly preserving the rights of the defendants. He suggested the cases had been forced to trial without proper preparation by counsel.
