What did smoot Hawley tariff of 1930 do?
True to his belief in aiding businessmen as a means to creating prosperity, Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff in 1930. It raised the rates far above those of the Fordney-McCumber Tariff of 1922. The new tariff was a triumph for the protectionists and a blow to the "farm bloc," that had already been chafing as a result of the continued farmer's depression. The new tariff law, however, failed to achieve its purpose. It did not bring greater prosperity to the American businessman. On the contrary, U.S. exports of manufactured goods began to decline more rapidly than imports. One reason for this condition was the high tariff wall that foreign countries put up in reprisal against the Smoot-Hawley Tariff.

Is Jones Soda considered organic?
No. Jones Soda, the carbonated drink produced by Jones Soda Company, is not considered organic. However, instead of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), Jones uses pure cane sugar for sweetening their beverages. Pure cane sugar is considered safer and healthier than HFCS. Therefore, although Jones Soda is not considered organic, it is a healthier choice over most other soft drinks (Coke, Pepsi, etc) which are sweetened by HFCS If you're looking for an organic drink, Jones soda company actually do carry a line of organic products. Known as 'Jones Organic', these drinks are flavored tea drinks which are USDA certified organic products. You can probably find them in Whole Food Market or Panera. I haven't read the list of ingredients for Jones Soda, but, taking the previous contributor's word, it does contain sugar. Sugar is organic. "Organic" means "containing carbon", and all sugar contains carbon, regardless of how it was produced. Therefore, Jones Soda is organic, because it too contains carbon. Note, however, that even if it was sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, it would still be organic, because HCFS also contains carbon. Oh, and this notion that pure cane sugar is "safer and healthier" than HFCS? That's a myth promoted by the US sugar farmers. Their lobbyists have Congress in their hip pockets, restricting imports of sugar and driving up the domestic price to several times the world average. So soft-drink companies started looking for cheaper ways to sweeten their products. HFCS was the cheapest alternative. But now that the soft-drink companies have found a way around these protectionists policies, the sugar industry is in trouble again. So they made up this myth about HFCS being unhealthy. One way or another, they are determined to protect their obscene profits.
When you read news online what do you need to keep in mind about bias?
You will often see on WikiAnswers the suggestion to make balanced replies, rather than post one-sided or biased answers. In any medium, whether on the Internet, in print, or on television news, it is important for readers or viewers to recognize bias. But bias can often be hidden, so how can we know when we read or hear a news report that is "biased".A bias is supporting one side of a situation or argument that has more than one "side". For example, a community might be debating whether or not to place a landfill 15 miles outside of town. Some town leaders support it, saying it will create 100 jobs. The trucks will all use Road B, and residents on Road B argue that the heavy trucks will damage the roads, create rumbling that will damage house foundations, and will be dangerous to children getting off buses. Another group endorses clean environment and protests that the landfill will create run off into the "Wonder Resovoir". Another group protests against inevitable odors that will waft across the area, carried by winds for 25 miles. Farmers protest because the landfill abuts grazing lands and farmers fear the noise of heavy machinery will scare animals, leading to lower breeding.Based on this example, you read an article in the local paper that discusses job opportunities and only quotes people who support the project. There is no mention of the protests from residents, clean environment folks, wildlife protectionists, or the farmers. If reader didn't know all the facts, an incomplete story could sway public opinion. Later, readers learn that the reporter's distant relative has an investment in the landfill. This kind of biased story is not supposed to be published, but some editors use one-sided stories.So to detect bias in news stories, watch for:one-sidednessnot enough information about all sidestwisting of facts to fit a particular view (it's easy to twist statistics, for example)use of only one set of statistics, when other studies dispute the findingsany personal or family gain by giving only one sidethe political or religious beliefs of the writer (For example, if I fully believe and support a topic, especially a controversial topic, I may be unlikely to include statements from people who disagree with my viewpoint.etc.Read and listen to news with a critical eye and ear. Look for supporting information. See if they included "the other side", like they do in debates with two or more guests on TV. Does the reporter seem inappropriately personally invested--do they get angry if challenged? can they listen to someone else's argument? Is the reporting more sensational than fact? In a newspaper, circle the "facts" used... when listening to TV news, list each "fact"... then, look at the lists and ask yourself if the story was balanced?
