Addressing members of the League ©of Republican Women of the District of Columbia at the headquarters of the Republican State committee, 823 Fifteenth street, Monday afternoon, Representative Crowther of New York, member of the House ways and means committee, declared that it is the pa- triotic duty of Americans to insist on buying goods made in this country. The Republican tariff, according to Mr. Crowther, gives a certain degree of protection to American industries but it is not sufficient to meet the competition of foreign countries if the American buyers are indifferent. He said he hoped this message would be earried far and wide by women, be. cause, in his opinion, the American ‘weman can do much in this respect in helping to promote America and American-made articles. Mr. Crowther's remarks were con- fined chiefly to discussing the tariff. He said this one subject has been the cause of much controversy and con- tention among lawmakers in this coun try for more than a century. He be- lieved, however, that with the passing of time more and more people are com ing to the belief that a protective tariff is necessary to the promotion of pros perity in this country and that the theories of free trade and tariff for revenue only are wrong and unsound. Because of the high wages and the hlsh standards of living in the United it would be utterly impossible American manufacturer or pro- ducer to compete with foreign coun- tries were it not for the certain amount of protection and encouragement af- forded by the Republican tariff, ac cording to Mr. Crowther. “‘The object of the Republican prin. ciples of a high tariff,” Mr. Crowthers stated, “are not for the purpose of blxlldhlg a wall around this country to prevent foreign-made goods from entering, but to provide a means by which our own industries may com- pete. Without sufficient protection our industries would be forced out of business and there would be wide- spread unemployment and general suffering.” Mr. Crowther said that he did not anticipate any attempts during the coming Winter to tinker with the tariff. Mrs. E. A. Harriman, vice- president of the league, presided at this meeting. CAR LINES MAY OPPOSE HIGEER POLICE PAY BILL Blanton Measure Would Tax Com- panies Extra $18,900 Yearly for Traffic Officers. By the Associated Press. The new dirigible that Congress has authorized to replace the Shen- andoah should be named the Lansdowne in honor of the com- mander of the wrecked ship,Comdr. Zachary Lansdowne, in the opinion of Chairman Butler of the House naval committee. He made this statement in an- nouncing that he proposed to ask Congress to authorize the negotia- tion of a straight contract for con- struction of the airship. This, he sald, was necessary, as the Navy had been unable to obtain competi- tive bids. The proposed ship is to be three times as large as the Shenandoah. AUTO INSURANCE BILL IS PREPARED First Draft of Proposed D. C. Law to Be Studied by Citizens. The first draft of a proposed bill providing for a form of compulsory automobile liability insurance for Washington will be considered by the |= committee of the Washington Cham- ber of Commerce on police, fire protec- tion and public safety Friday evening at 8 o'clock in the offices of the cham- ber in the Homer Building. A subcommittee of the public safety group will meet tomorrow at 1 o'clock to place in final form the draft of the bill. The subcommittee chairman is Jerome Fanciulli. If the bill is ap- proved by the full committee, it will be presented to the chamber for action by Charles W. Darr, the committee chairman. The movement for increasing the salary of the District Commissioners will be renewed in the near future with the reintroduction of bills in the House and Senate, Robert N. Harper, chairman of a special committee of the chamber on Commissioners’ sal- aries, stated today. A similar bill pro- viding for the increase of the salary of a Commissioner from $7,500 to $10,000 was favorably reported last year by the House District committee. The chamber committee proposes also an increase in salary for the Assistant Engineer Commissioners. 3% M Compound Interest Paid on Savings —of a count, and The Capital Traction and the Washington Railway and Electric are expected to oppose the bill introdueed in the House by Representative Blanton of Texas, which would fincrease the pay of members of the Metropolitan police force $300 a year, according to in- formation given the Public Utilities Commission today. As the street car companies are re- quired to pay the salaries of the traffic officers on duty at street rail- ‘way crossings, the proposed $300 in- crease, according to information given the commission, would mean an additional expenditure to them of $18,900 a year. Salarles paid to the crossing offi- cers by the car companies in the last calendar year lohled $122,000, which is virtually an increase of 100 per cent in the last 10 years. As the major portion of the dutles of the traffic officers is directing vehicu- lar traffic rather than street car traffic, the compan it was said, do not feel that they should be re- quired to be assessed higher for their services. P e— SENATE RULES CHANGES. BSenator Jones Asks Early Action on Two Amendments. In offering two proposed amend- ments to the Senate rules designed to expedite transaction of business, Sen- ator Jones, Republican, of Washing- ton served notice that he would seek action on them at an early date. One amendment would confine de- bate to the subject-matter under con- sideration. The other would restrict amendments to pending legislation to subject-matter which was strictly ger- mane. Senator Jones also would place a li;ndlt.flm upon debate upon points of order. —at the big Hardware and Housefurnishing Store.

RICHMOND, Va., December 14 (). —Application of promoters of the Dempsey-Tunney fight film for a license to show the film in Virginia was refused yesterday by the State Board of Motion Picture Censors on the advice of Attorney General John R. Saunders. Evan Chesterman, chairman of the board, said that the application was re- fused because a Kederal statute for- bids transportation of fight films inter- state, and the attorney general and the board decided that to grant a license would Violate the spirit of the Federal law. The films are in the State and were shown privately before the board and several officials today. uLonaAs TNISFELLDW TONSILINE 488 TheNationai Sore Throat Remedy $SHOULDQUICKLYRELIEVEIT ALL DRUGGISTS in the parish hall, Connecticut avenue |\, .
