PHIPPS DECLARES PROSPERTY REAL Senator Comparés Condi- tions in Mountain States With Those in England. Calling attention to healthy busi- ness conditions in his own State and throughout the country, Senator Phipps, Republican, of Colorado, declared in a statement today that “there is con- vincing evidence on all sides that the Republican party should be continued in charge of the destinies of the ““Colorado’s prosperity, wit prices for (he commOdities of Producers and growers, and full employment of labor, is typical today of healthy busi* ness conditions throughcut the Nation under the favorahle influences of the xsublican protective tariff policy,” he Senator Phipps, who is a member and former chairman of the Republican senatorial committee, has just made a study of the Rocky Movrtain region.

C., WEDNESDAY,. OCTOBER 31, 1928 low-cost production. ~Comparing his observations abroad with the survey he has made since his return to the United States, Senator Phipps sald: “This year we again have banner crops, and. they are being marketed at good prices. Contrast this with the de- plorable conditions existing in Great Britain. There the number out of em- ployment is gradually increasing and the government is under the necessity of paying out doles to the 1,500,000 of un- employed. Even those who are working in Great Britain are earning such small wages that they can barely -purchase the necessities of life and cannot think of indulging in the luxuries which are now so generally enjoyed by the people of the United States. “With the exception of a few luxu- ries, the United States can produce every article it consumes. Shall we produce for our own uses, or throw our markets open to the cheap labor products of foreign countries? That is the great question of tariff, and the Republican party has always stood firm- ly for a protective policy. With tariff protection for our manufacturers and by using machinery giving mass pro- duction, we have developed our indus- tries to a remarkable degree, so that we have been able to ship our surplus products to foreign markets. 1 Beet Sugar Important. “The present tariff act was intended to afford needed protection to the agri- cultural industry. In some degree it has fulfilled that purpose.” Senator Phipps said the products of agriculture in Colorado this year will total in value $130,000,000, of which beet sugar represents a substantial part. Senator Phipps said Colorado cannot successfully produce beet sugar 240 Pay 50c a Week Three lovely, clcar‘, white diamonds, set in beautifully hand-pierced 18-kt. white gold mounting.

This statement is not merely misleading, it is positive- ly untrue. All the important products of the farm are protected under the present tariff law, although some of the rates are inadequate, whereas the principal _articles purchased by the farmer, such as farming machinery and manufactures of leather, are especially exempt from duty. “Under Republican control, it must be admitted that we have made re- markably rapid progress in recovering from the burdens of war, that our peo- ple as a whole have prospered and are living under much better - conditions than in earlier years, enjoying not only the comforts but many of the luxuries of life.” BYRD POLAR SHIPS SOLD.
