The party in the past drew its greatest membership from the agricultural South. The |*, |South shipped its cotton, prin- cipally, to England. There it was |made into cloth, some of which {came back to this country. Eng- ,land sent many other varieties of |manufactured goods here. The |South, which bought these ‘goods, naturally didn’t want them! to be subjected to a tariff which would raise the price in the store. The industrial North, in the main, was represented by the Republican party. The North, which also manufactured cotton |goods, wanted a tariff on British !cotton goods so that it could compete more favorably. It want- ed a tariff on all manufactured imports, in fact. In 1934, as is well known—and right up to this term of Congress —there weren't very many Re- publicans on Capitol Hill. So Sec- retary Hull's proposals found a ready welcome. At present the pa cover some 60 per cent of Americ; normal foreign trade. Here’s how reciprocal trade agreements are set up: U. S. representatives approach those of the other country and \tell them, in effect, “Look, we'll reduce a few tariff—or throw them out entirely—and you re- duce a few. That way, our people ican get your goods cheaper and jyours can get our goods chear- er. So they wade through heaps of impert and export figires and | cgme out with a list of tariff cuts. In the case of the treaties with Canada and the United (Kingdom there were hundreds of individual items. Then—and this is a_most im- | portant part of the Hull plan—) the U.

EE RETA I saw passed by the 1941 provisions, such as clerk, and advertising sing the business con- any name but their own terested, and the extent to which they are interested must be registered as well. 4. Penalty for non-compliance denies any un- registered business and those interested in doing such business the right to defend or maintain suit in any court in this state, either as plaintiff or defendant, and it further provides that any person violating this law regarding registration is liable to having an in- formation charging a misdemeanor filed against him by any person aggrieved by the fictitious name, and on conviction of such charge shall be liable to a fine of $25.00 or 60 days in jail, or both. 5. Before registration can be made, such in- tention to register must be advertised at least once a week for four (4) consecutive weeks in a newspaper as defined by law in the county where the registra- tion is made. This law applies to Apartments, Hotels, Filling Stations, Cabin Courts, or business of any kind ex- cept such as are operated under the name of the owner. Lawyers generally agree that the terms “proper or called name” as used in the law would be like this example: _Suppose you are one of the numerous Jones family. Suppose your proper name is “John Edward Jones,” but your called name is “J. E. Unless your business is actually operated under one or the other of these names you would be required to register.
