The President's Veto.
Mellon and Lord Chatham

Yesterday tlic senate inter
ested itself in n new veterans
bill, the original bill, jiving
$103,000,000 n year more to
veterans, having been vetoed
by President Hoover.
Some disagreed with the
veto, but nobody will deny that
it required courage. There is
only n loss of votes, next time,
in the veto. There would have
been, many votes to gain by
signing it. '
The president pointed out
that seventy per cent of the
$103,000,1100 a year would go
to men not injured in the war,
also that the government now
pays $!i00,000,00() a year to wai
ve! erans.
At that rate, if we had had
as many casualties as France
had, or Germany, all the money
in the United States would not
pay the pension account.
Some,, disturbed by depressed
business, may find comfort in
news that our "best" people,
are happy and gay as ever.
More of them are in Knrope
this yoar than last, more of
thein at. desirable United States
resorts,, especially Bur Harbor
and Newport. , .
All this you learn from the
social-register,- tf New; York,
the real one, not the imitation
registers that organized, "to
supply exclusiveness to the
musses."
Washington says Secretary
Mellon will devote his vaca
tion to teaching banking and
corporation management to his
son Paul, back from n post
graduate course al Cambridge.
An attentive son can learn
more from his father than from
n thousand professors put to
gether, if his father knows.
And Mr. Mellon docs know.'
M
In a grave in Westminster
abbey, a father and son lie side
by side. Pitt, who kept Nap
oleon out of England, and his
father, the Karl of Chatham.
Pitt, - n delicate boy, was
taught in youth by his father,
and later, studied statesman
ship at his father's dinner
table, listening to Chatham and
other older men. He entered
the house of commons, and
was chancellor of the exche
quer nt twenty-two, and prime
minister at twenty-three.

FARlR TO
BENEFIT BY
Serves to Hold Home Mar
ket for American Produce
Says Secy. Hyde Re
duces Disparity With In
dustry in Products.
WASH I XCITON, J illy 2.
Tho new tariff law was hulled by
Sec ret dry Hyde today 08 n "dis
tinct gain" for agriculture, pro
viding increnttod protection, ac
tually and potentially for Ameri
can farmer.
In an address over a network
of radio stations, the secretary
said It would Herve to hold tho
home market for the American
producer and would stimulate
agriculture to balance its produc
tion against the market demand.
Miiny of its rales such ns those
on wool, eggs, long stable cotton
and dairy products, he said, will
be generally benefit il and others
will help in border markets.
"The new act reduces, even
though it may not entirely elimi
nate, the disparity In tariff pro
tection which has existed between
agricultural and industrial pro
ducts," he said. "On an equiva
lent ad valorem basis, the percent
age of increase on agricultural
products is more than twice as
large as the Increase upon other
schedules in the bill.
"This increase was (U.43 per
cent. Since the increase on nil
Items covered In the hill is only
6.1 7 per cent, the Increase of
54.43 per cent on agricultural pro
ducts is significant. The next
largest increase Is 22.17 per cent
over the act of 1922. This is on
spirits and fruit Hymps. These
products are almost wholly of
agricultural origin'-
Hyde cited us Importnnt agri
cultural products upon which the
rate has been raised, cattle, meats
and meat products, hides, wool,
long staple cotton, flaxseed, soy

The Southern I'aeifie railroad
has applied to the interstate com

to return to the former pear

instead of the emergency pear
rate of $l.tm per hundred which'

give northwest shippers and grow

When the supreme court of the

Die Hoke Hmltb resolution, upon
which the California rate was
based, was invalid, the rates nn
tomntically reverted to the old
