Al Smiths Tariff Straddle
THE American Tariff league declares that, in holding up
the Underwood tariff act of 1913 as a model, Al Smith
threatens to bring about a drastic downward revision of the
tariff if elected president of the United States-
That whatever doubt agriculture, industry and labor
may have felt about the real meaning of the Houston tariff
plank was cleared up by Smith himself in his acceptance

The model tariff act of 1913 is the one of which John B.

It is the same model of which Woodrow Wilson had the

Ignorant, though perhaps well meaning religious fanatics.
The question is now sharply raised as to whether there
is political signif icance; to the recurrence of this agitation at
this time. The responsible leadership of both parties desire
to exclude the religious issue from the campaign. -There is
no doubt that the strongly anti-Catholic f eeling'which is so
deeply entrenched in many sections of the country will be a
factor, despite efforts to exclude it. This is sincerely regret

Karl Wenger Points Out How
Business and Property
May Be Protected
Every man desires that after
his deaths his wishes as to the
conduct of his business and the
disposition of his property shall
be carried out, but 90 per cent
fail to make proper provision by
leaving a binding will, Karl Wen
ger of the United States National
bank stated in his talk at the
Rotary club luncheon Wednesday.
"The right to make a will is
not inherent, and therefore the
law makes arbitrary reservations,"
Mr. Wenger said.
"The will should state the tes
tator's residence, names of the
heirs, provide power of sale for
the executor, make provision for
continuing a going bpsiness, and!
contain a statement OI resources
and liabilities. It should be
changed as often as conditions
warrant, and be brought up to
date at frequent intervals. Above
all it should name the executor,
as otherwise this official will be
appointed by the court, and may
be a person whom the testator
would not wish to trust with his
affairs and those of his de
pendants."
Several other methods of trans
ferring property to one's heirs
were mentioned by Mr. Wenger;
the living trust, insurance trust,
joint tenancy and testementary
trust. The insurance trust is ad.
visable unless the beneficiary is
capable of investing wisely, as sta.
tistlcs reveal that 80 per cent of
all life insurance money paid out
is dissipated within seven years.
T. B. Kay, who as state treas

interesting examples to show the
