A few words®in the tariff bill adant od last, sunmer may cut out the L.g circus shows from. their trips abcosd until after an amendment or the adoption of a new tariff bill. A sec ¢ion of the free list contains the nnrd! ‘mot including animals” in relatien to articles exported and entitled to 1~ entry free of duty, and it seemns ! absolutely bar the shows from going to Canada or Europe. John M. Kely of Bridgeport, of the Ringling shows, is in Washington seek ing to have a ruling made which will allow of the shows following the usual route, but his success is doubtful. The cost of the Payne tariff duty upon o= livestock of the big shows would be great and would probably excee. ils profits which might be expeoted rrom the few Canadian cities whieh ¢ ouid be visited. It seems that when the iill was in conference these words were inserted with no thought of how they might affect the circus industry Looks Like Sure Thing.
