Show TIIE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, 310 ND AY HORNINO, JUNE Borah Resolution Involves Future of U. S. Tariff Policy Question Hinges on "Limited" and "General Revision"; ' Adoption oi Motion Would Cause Confusion, for a Time at Least. ; By MASK SULLIVAN. WASHINGTON, June 15. The coming week will be decisive on the Urlff. Not merely wUl it be decisive on pie present tariff,, victory for Senator Borah's resolution might be turning point in the history of American tariff policy. Senator Bo-r'i resolution is to the effect that the coming tariff revision In the senate shall be "confined to agriculture y, and directly related products." "directly related products" would take in a wide range. For example, the agricultural product cotton is "directly related1 to textiles. That, however, and all other technicalities, are beside the point. Everybody knows what1 is in Senator Borah's mind. It is that duties on agricultural products shall be revised generally and generously but that as to other industries the revision shall be strictly limited, presumably to compensatory duties made necessary by raises on agricultural raw materials. Borah Itcposes Clear Tariff Distinction. . Senator Borah, in short, proposes to make a clear distinction between the tariff as it affects agriculture and is it affects other industries. Senator Borah would use the tariff to stimulate agriculture and agriculture lone. He would cease using the tariff to further stimulate manufacturing. He would not reduce present rates on manufactured goods, but he would specifically refrain from raising them higher. This proposal may be described without stretching the facts as the reverse of the point of view about protection when that policy was first adopted. At that time manufacturers were regarded as "Infant Industries" and the protective tariff was adopted to stimulate them. Today, Senator Borah's proposal looks UDon acricul. lure as "sick industry" and would so use the tariff as to stimulate that Industry. " To understand the Immediate background, two distinctions should be home In mind. One is the distinction already made between agriculture eommnrilt.lM and nnnaoHmtl. tural commodities. The other distinction is between the phrases "limited revisions" and "general revisions." Twe Fnrposea In Cengreat Section. , This aactlnn nt .brought about specifically for two jnaln purposes. One was to benefit agriculture directly by a farm relief bill. The second was to benefit farming indirectly by tariff revision. as an incident to the second purpose, tariff revision for the benefit of the farmer. It was proposed, and the proposal was generally accepted, that there should also be tariff revision Jor limited number of industries Senator Borah's proposal started the present commotion, showed by citations from the Republican platform and from President Hoover's call, that the intention was to revise at least some schedules in agriculture. In short, it is fair to say that the program of this congress, as deter- mined by the conditions, and as approved by common consent, was for broad "general revision" on agricultural commodities, accompanied by strict!? "limited revision" in fields other than agriculture. From this program and intention the lower house departed, as to this there is no longer much argument In the senate this week, Official Republican Leader Watson was forced by hostile questioners to admit that the tariff bill as written by the bouse is a "general revision" as respects both agricultural and nonagrlcul-tur- al commodities. Among many similar colloquies. Senator McKellar of Tennessee asked, as respects the bill as written by the house: "So it is a general tariff bill and not "a limited tariff bill at aU." To that Senator Watson assented, saying, "That is my view of it." Then Democratic Leader Robinson, turning to the extremely regular Republican head of the senate's tariff writing committee, Senator Smoot, prodded the latter Into saying: "It ought to be a general revision, and should not be taken up for Just one class." Re pilar Republicans Want General Revision. Clearly It Is fair to assume that the regular Republicans in the senate, if not hindered by Senator Borah and bis followers, might make an even broader and higher revision of non- agricultural schedules than the bill.! as written by the house already Is. The regular senate Republicans come as a rule from the east and commonly reflect, as respects the tariff, the manufacturing point of view. The manufacturers say plainly that they expect to keep the raises made in the bouse, and hope to get further raises in the senate. The question now Is, how many followers will Senator Borah have? More specifically, the question Is whether the body of Democratic senators will follow Borah on the tariff as nearly unanimously as they followed him on the debenture plan. If they do, Borah will win. Whatever the outcome of the roll call on the Borah resolution, confusion will follow for a time at least If Borah wins, the eastern senators from manufacturing and consuming states may attack the agricultural rates, espe cially the one on sugar. It is useless, however, to speculate on developments subsequent to determination of the Borah resolution. There will be a few days of confusion even than attended farm readditional to nm -- .re lief. greater After that, however, there ctal industry in everybody's mind was should be clarification by the Textiles.

June Organization was completed today for the opening tomorrow of the eleventh congress of the Women's International Alliance for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship xm the twenty-fift- h anniversary of Its founding in this city. Among the 2000 delegates are many who remember the dramatic days when the organization was launched to win tne right or Denoting for the women of the world. Rosika Schwimmer. who recently was refused American citizenship recalled today, "I was the youngest delegate in 1904 and Susan B. Anthony was the oldest. She was always surprised then to find young women interested, in the movement of Europe, for in those days only older women were interested In America." Although the congress still is work ing for extension of women's suffrage to unenfranchised countries, its chief work now is for world peace and Industrial equality for women. The youth movement also has taken oil an importance never given it before. ""' if.

The Gooding creamery did a larger business tor May than in any month since the organization was founded. Butter production totaled 107.400 pounds, com pared witn Bi.nro pounds for May, 1928. The heaviest churning during the last month exceeded three and a half tons ot butter. In only one other month has the butter production been more than iou.uuu pounds. That was May. 1928. when it reached 102.000 pounds. The annual report of the Gooding creamery as given a Jew weeks ago showed steady growth In all lines of business done at this plant, includ of ice cream, cheese manufacture ing and other products. Manager 8train said that the Increase was due large ly to the better type of dairy cows owned here, rather than to any increase in the cow population. The same Increase has been experi enced with the Jerome Cooperative creamery with which the Gooding creamery is affiliated In its marketing plan. The Gooding and the Jerome creameries purchased the Nelson- Ricks cheese factory at Hagerman several weeks ago. and the Jerome association still further expanded by purchasing a large warehouse, the Lincoln Produce company plant at Twin Falls.

It was Just an oversight, they explained. Here's what the Boston Better Business Bureau found when they sent a questionnaire to 5000 consumers, asking them a number of pertinent questions about retail advertising:. Forty-fiv- e per cent replied that they believed it to be exaggerated; 37 per cent said it was misleading; 11 per cent characterized it as "false" and only 6 per cent felt that It was truthful. One of the final questions was, "Some stores advertise with superlatives and unqualified statements such as "The great values ever offered,' 'The supreme achievement of the age, 'Values unequaled in history.' Do you believe such statements?" And , only one out of 5000 answered yes. Obviously, to secure interest and to restore confidence, it is neces- sary that retail advertisements should be frank and that they should understate, rather than exaggerate. The public realize that the distributor must have a fair profit on his business, plus a reserve in proportion to the risks involved.: There are no miracles in the mercantile business, raw materials cost so much; the finished goods so much. It costs just so much to manufacture, depending how the article is made, and what trimmings and dressing are added. Rarely, if ever, do you get something for C3 to The Tribune. 8pil POCATELLO. Idaho.

Nearly every day in the year the newspapers carry sales advertisements crying aloud the virtues of 'unprecedented,' 'unparalleled,' 'gigantic,' 'unheard-o- f values,' 'less than cost,' 'stupendous bargains.' " Is it logical to believe that the reading public, fed with this constant pap of adjectives, still believes this the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Is it possible to apply to these adjectives the definition given them in the dictionary and then in the same breath to refer to "truth in advertising"?
