GARNER STARTS
TARIFF FICH1
Turns Solon Demands Equa!
Benefits for Farmer
In House Bill
BY HARRY L. SEXTON
CHICAGO. Jtn 9—(An—Work
forts of Representative John N
Garner house minority leader t<
form a coalition of democrats anc
progressives for the purpose of se-
curing adjustment of tariff datet
upon a basis which would assurt
agriculture equal benefits with in-
dustry indicate that Eastern re-
publicans will encounter numerous
difficulties if they attempt in tht
house to restore to the bill the dis-
crimnatory rates eliminated by the
senate coalition.
In a recent interchange with Re-
presentative Ramseyer of Iowa the
minority leade rrevcaled that the
program of the house democrat
proposed a vote on the rates writ-
ten into the tariff bill by the se-
nate coalition and to send to con-
ference only the administrative pro-
visions.
"If the progressive republicans are
consistent in their declarations that
they favor rates which will assure
parity between agriculture and in-
dustry they should Join with the
democrats In voting the senate rate*
and sending to conference only ihf
administrative sections of the tarrifl
bill” the minority leader said.
Pronounced Step
“The senate 1ms not completed its
work but the agricultural rates
written into the bill by the senate
coalition make it obvious that while
the measure may be far from per-
fect it is the most pronounced step
ever taken toward securing lor agri-
culture some measure of benefit
through tariff legislation.”
Asserting that it had been the
campaign years and to vote ad-
ditional tariff favors for industry
whenever adjustment of tariff rates
was under consideration the
minority leader declared "it is the
duty of the progressive republicans
to take advemage of this opportuni-
ty to render a service of inestima-
able value to agriculture.”
”1 believe the progressive repub-
licans are sincere in their declara-
tions that the burdens of agricul-
ture must be reduced; that the Haw-
ley bill is not representative of the
interests of agriculture; but the
trouble with many of them is that
their devotion no the republican
party is stronger than their devo-
tion to the farmer. If they favor
equitable tariff rates they should
have no hcsitatancy In going on re-
cord. Voting the rates will limit the
-work of the conference to the ad-
ministrative provisions and will
greatly expedite final action.
Farmers Ignored
The farmers of the United States
have for years demanded equality
of benefits under the protective tar-
iff. In each campaign the republi-
cans have issued iheir promises to
recognize the rights of agriculture
but in the adjustment of tariff rates
they have consistently ignored the
demand of the farmer.
“The Hawley bill was in my opin-
ion. the most indefensible piece of
tariff legislature ever submitted to
congress. Its response to the farm-
er's plea for equality was an in-
crease in the rate on practically
every commodity the farmer is com-
pelled to buy. increases which
brought from every agricultural sec-
tion of the country a storm ol pro-
test against the unfair discrimina-
tion.”
The senate expect* to complete
work on the tariff bill shortly after
February 1. In that body the coal-
ition of democrats and progressives
in full control. They have smoothed
out many of the most glaring in-
equalities of the house bili by in-
creasing rates on agricultural pro-
ducts and paring down rates on such
industrial products as are receiving
protection
Smart Rates Satisfactory
The entire trend of th*4 coalition’s
efforts has been directed toward
achieving parity for agriculture.
Such outstanding progressive sena-
tors as Norah. La Follette Norris.
Nye Frazier. Blaine and Brookhart
have voted consistently with the de-
mocrats in carrying out this pro-
gram
The senate rates are very satis-
factory to the house democrats and
progressives and it is the objective
of the minority leader to secure
prompt action on the bill when it is
r*Umed to the house by voting the
agnate rates and leaving to the con-
Jhence only the controversial fea-
tures of the administrative sections
—4be flexible provision and the de-
benture. If this effort is successful
the bill should be ready for the
presidents signature by the latter
part of February. But if the East-
ern republicans succeed in bringing
the rates into the conference it will
be impossible to forecast with any
degree of accuracy when the mea-
sure will be ready for the president.
The senate has indicated tlm if
granted industry hi the Hawley bill
it will not accept the excessive rates
which discriminates against agi>
and that it prill consent to a measure
culture as d:d the house bill.

t Flu Announcement Stirs Debate
1 On Disease Known To Antiquity
Dr. Isidore Falk of Chicago who announced he had Isolated the germ causing influenza is shown at

By LEO RYAN
AUSTIN. Jan. 9—The national
wide discussion among medical au-
thorities follows the latest report of
identification of the germ of in-
fluenza announced at the Uniier-
slty of Chicago.
This germ long has been sought
and there have been other hopeful
roports previously.
Dr. Isadore S. Falk. 30-year-old
professor of bacteriology at tne
University of Chicago is slanting
on the report he made to a scien-
tific society at the university: that
he has definitely isolated the germ.
The next step which should go
far toward settling the discussion
is to use the perms to seek reme-
dies for flu. The nature of the
remedies will dejiend on what is
learned of the manner in which the
j germ causes the disease particu-
i larly whether It is be secreting a
poison.
Influenza is said by some stu-
dents to be one of the oldest dis-
eases known to man.
Hippocratic studied it and
thought it came from the atmos-
phere. *
Dr. J. J. Walsh declares that
there is a great deal of evidence to
showr that it was the plague which
swept the Greeks as they set out
for Troy.
Noah Webster wrote a two vol-
ume work on influenza after a long
study of Its history. Webster. Ukt
Hippocrates thought that it was
produced by atmospheric conditions
particularly by “electrical Influ-
ences" following volcanic eruptions

CAPITOL FIRE
FIGHTERS SET
Texas^tate House Mapped
Out for Quick Aid In
Emergency
(Special to The Herald)
MEXICO CITY Jan. 9—As Cali-
capitol and White House both have
been in flames in actual fact with-
in the past two weeks but the Tex-
as capitol has burned several time?
in theory as the Austin fire depart-
ment has fought out tactical de-
fenses against a possible fire there.
W'ith $50000000 of cash and bonds
in the building though secure in
fireproof vaults with the original
Texas declaration of independence
and other priceless documents and
valuable papers; with records af-
fecting the life of nearly a dozen
people and the liberty of 5.000 more
and tax obligations of 6.000.000 peo-
ple. the capitol building is one
against which carefully-thought-out
defense has been shaped.
Duties Defined
If a fire should break out in the
Capitol every man in the Austin
fire department should have a clear-
cut picture of his part ir fighting
it a ready knowledge of just where
he would move and what he would
do ail planned out far in advance.
A similar tactical defense of the
old land office building has been
worked out. but the state executive
mansion classed in Austin record:;
as a residence has not been the
subject of ihe fire department school
of instruction in tactical defenses
as have the capitol and all princi-
pal business buildings
Know Buildings
The fire fighters are ready against
the day of a possible fire in the cap-
itol. Basement or dome strategy
and an intimate knowledge of the
building and its equipment would
enable the firemen to move quickly
and in perfect order to combat it.
The type of defense would be
shaped to meet the actual condi-
tion. As the old structure lias burn-
ed m theory as its picture was un-
folded on the stereoptican screen of
the fire department school of in-
struction each problem dealt with a
particular kind of fire in a parti
cular part of the building.
Basement of the capitol. store
with creplacable records has bee.
a particular concern because th.
building with its high dome wouk.
“draw like a chimney." Every en-
trance window stair compartmen'
and hall of the basement has beri
sketched in the tactical defenses
and the fire fighters thoroughly cc-
quamted with the whole picture.
Little Late
The Austin fire department d.
meet the flames of the wooden o'.
temporal!’ capitol on Congress avc
nue yean ago. They arrived after 1
the tinder-like structure was ablaze
all over. They fought a hopeless bat-
tle. And Capt. Otto Brinckmann of
Engine company No 2 Lavaca street
station was one of those who fought
it
If an alarm were to come Into
Chief John Woody s central station
reporting the capitol ablaze the
companies of central station would
be in position at the building in
something less than two minutes
and started upon the orderly tasks
of beating the flames.
Capt. Platt with hi* pumper
would have a machine going that
would force water under pressure to
any part of the building. Capt. Ha-
milton and his truck crew would -
have the long extension ladders in
place gy which firemen easily could
get atop the capitol building ex-
cept the pinnacle of the dome. Capt.
Certi’s hose crew would have un-
reeled the hose and hooked up to
fire plugs in and out of the building. :
Capt. Johnson's No. 2 truck would
be on the spot.
In the same two minutes reports
would go to other stations whether
additional equipment was needed.
All Read/
If the fire were serious the en-
tire equipment of the city oould be
| massed within a few minutes. Each
captain from each of the other sta-1
I tions would know from the care-
ful study in tactical training Just j
where to make his approach and
every man would instinctively move j
to his post.
Along with the fire department.
Austin police who act in coopera-
tion and accord with the depart-
ment. would arrive at the same mo-
ment with the first equipment. Tra-
ffic would be diverted crowds held
back and all the assistance which
the situation might call for would
| develop without a hitch.
All of which has happened in
theory to prevent so far as good
| equipment human ability and care-
ful training was able to keep it1
from happening in fact.

Lower California Rich In
Soil and Mineral
Deposits
WASHINGTON Jan 9—<&—Ef-
romla has become a center of pros-
perity and wealth because Ameri-
cans developed the possibilities of
ts rich soli and Its mineral veins
jo Lower California should be de-
veloped by Mexican hands in order
o let It "fill Mexican pockets” says
in editorial in Excelsior referring
:o a recent statement by General
lose Marla Tapia new governor of
northern district of Lower Cal.
••Its colonization Is an excellent
dea” the editorial continues. “As
joon as it is colonized the colonists
dill have to be encouraged cons
tantly that they till the soil and
enrich it.”
The editorial urges the develop-
ment of all potential wealth in th«
republic and refers to Lower Cali-
fornia as the best example of poten-
tial wealth.
‘ Probably one of the regions that
could render the most returns tc
Investments of money and labor in
our land is Lower California.” thi
editorial says. "The geological tor-
matlon of Lower California is a
prolongation of the California ol
the United States whose coast It
very extensive with good ports and
bays and whose soil does not re-
quire more than the plow and a re-
gulation of waters to produce th<
proverbial 100 per-cent harvest.”
The editorial then quotes Gov*
ernor Tapia as having said that th«
recipe for improving Ixwer Califor-
nia is ‘ work”. Later Tapia pro-
longed his interview saying that
; dams roads schools and coloni-
zation” are needed
“To be exact colonization of Mex-
ico by Mexicans” the editorial con-
tinues. “The new governor o!
policy of the federal government
is disposed to improve the lands
through Irrigation to offer the pro.
perties that they may go oa eiu>
