PACK TWELVE THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1929 TARIFF BATTLE AROUND SUGAR AND SHOES SEEN Washington (LP) Sugar and shoes, two Items which affect every man, woman and child in the country, are to be made the center of the senate tariff contest, It was Indi cated as the various forces were organizing for what may be the biggest senate fight since the league of nations dispute. The Independent republican and democratic group has asked the Peoples Legislative service to dig up all favorable facts about these two subjects and other rates In which they are to be primarily interested. Hearings on both schedules are open Monday In the senate finance sub-committees. The basic sugar rate provided by the bouse Is three cents a pound with a 20 per cent discount allowed to Cuban sugar, inis rate com pares with 2.20 cents in the existing Jaw. The increase would necessarily Increase the price of sugar. The basic shoe duty is 20 per cent, with 35 per cent against certain high grade shoes from Czecho-Slo vakia, used mostly by women. This Increase would also Increase shoe prices materially, as shoes now are on the free list. The Peoples Legislative service will figure out what these two Items and others would cost the consum ers In millions of dollars and gather such other data as will be of as sistance to those who intend to fight the schedules when the tar iff bill Is brought before the sen ate August 19. It is considered likely the sugar fchedulc will be changed by the finance committee before the bill is reported. A sliding scale, designed to be more moderate in its effect than the flat rate, Is being worked out by some of the experts and may be offered in the bill. The inde pendents however will fight any Increase.

BOSTONIAN HEAD OF SCHEME FOR FERTILE SARAHA London, (IP) D wight Br am an, Boston engineer, has convinced the French government that he can make the arid Sahara desert blos som like a new garden of Eden. With this hurdle overcome England Is watching his further moves with great interest because of Its im mense irrigatlonal projects In the Sudan and Egypt. Braman's plans call for one of the most stupendous engineering feats ever performed in securing an In land sea In the heart of the Sahara. This sea, fed by canals from the Mediterranean, will furnish water for evaporation and thus Increase the amount of rainfall. Irrigation water will be obtained by tapping 164 rivers and two underground streams, the flow of which will be augmented by the increased rain fall. The canal from the sea feeding the artificial inland super-lake will be large enough to handle heavy ships providing cheap transporta tion for the newly developed land in the Sahara. At the mouth of the canal, which will be In the Gulf of Oabes, Bra man plans to construct a harbor by throwing up a large breakwater. The harbor will be made one of the pons of calls for Mediterranean vessels. The site of the Inland sea Is salty land, for the most part below sea level, and is southwest of Tunisia and west of the Gulf of Gabes. The sole purpose of the Inland sea Is to provide moisture to Increase the rainfall thereby augmenting the flow of the rivers In the Aures and Atlas mountains. A series of dams will control the water in these rivers, while .three or ANNOUNCING THE NEW HOME OF THE SILVER RADIO By Silver Marshall AND THE FREED RADIO By Freed-Elsemann RALPH BLIVEN 461 N.
