him as to whether a conference committee
was made up of two separate and indie
pendent bodies entity. Mr.
Frye insisted IL was two, Mr.. Faulkner one.
Senator COckrell declared with vehemence
that the situation was such as to leave the
tariff papers in the House.
Il understand the papers are actually in
the Senate" said Mr.. Frye.
And L understand the papers We're ac-
tually taken tC the House and are there
row." said Mr.. Coc,Srell with such vehe-
mence that the galleries burst into laugh
ter.
Mr.. Frye said that from intimations he
heard. he believed that 1t might be true
that the House conferees had-either prop
erly or improperly-secured possession of
the bill and now held il.
Mr.. Chandler's Suggestion.
There seems to be so much doubt as to
where the bill is,' interjected Mr. Chandler
that suggest that 1t may be found at the
White House" There was a roar of laugh
| ter from the galleries, which lasted half a
minute. and which the Vice President found
great difficulty in checking.
Il will say to the Senator from New
Hampshire" answered Mr. Faulkner, that
although the tariff bill is not at the White
| House how, 1t will be there very soon to
| receive the signature of the President"
| Again there was a round of applause.
Let me ask said he. that as the bill
Is to go to the White House so soon, what
will be its fOrm?''
1T will be in such FORM" said Mr. Faulk-
ner, with vim, "as majority of the demo-
cratic Congress may agree upon, and 1 can
say, with equal confidence, that il will go to
the President without the approval OF the
Senator from New Hampshire"
Il can only hope" added Mr.. Chandler
that the departure of the bill for the White
House may proceed with due haste"
Mr. Faulkner said he was surprised to
hear the suggestion of haste in view of the
delays in which the Senator from New
Hampshire had participated. There was a
chorus of "Ohi Ohr' from the republican
Senators at this reference to delay
MIR. Turpie's Misgivings.
Senator Turpie Qnd) came in at this point
with a prepared speech. He said he was
opposed to the resolution, as it sought to
kill the bill so laboriously framed
Il also have misgivings as to the source of
this resolution said he. warming up and
looking at Senator Hill. 1T comes from
the Senator from New York. Is he a friend
OF this bill? He has openly and publicly in
formed US that he is opposed to this meas
ure. He has voted against IL. L have the
greatest esteem for the phrase that the
Senator has made historic, II am a demo-
crat, but l have not the same esteem for
his latest phrase, Il am a democrat-with-
out the income tax
Mr.. Turpie said he believed in democrats
VINO were such, with or without the in
come tax. He reviewed the growth of the
democratic party AMI sad he was conf
dent that in its present trial 1t would be
triumphant.
1T is the duty of the tariff confereas to
egree not to disagree" said MIR. Turpie
with Vgcr, "and that being their duty
believe 1t rs predestined that they must.
they shall agree"
Proposition for the COnferees to Re-
sign.
He said 1t would be great, historic sin
If these conferees disagreed. lie closed " !th
this proposition:
The time has now come and now pro-
pose that the Senate conferees should pre-
sent their designations to tnls body. They
have failed to agree. They have served
honora5ly, nobly. But they have failed to
agree. There they stop. there they stand.
Why should they not welcome relief Let
them give way to others
The Senators had given the closest atten-
lion TO the latter part OF MIR. Turpie's speech
and his startling proposition that the cor
tSreeS resign sent buzz of comment over
the chamber and through tee galleries.
Mr.. White (Cal) followed Mr.. Turpie He
said that so far the parliamentary situ-
alton Was concerned he was not prepared
TO DISCUSS IL. He could find nothing bear
ing upon the subject "in the silurian epi-
grams miscalled the rules of the Senate"
He then discussed the resolution and what
would result from 1.-THE discharge of the
Senate confereeS. He says the conferees
should ask to be relieved if they were dis
satisfied. The resolution indicated a lack
Of confidence in the conferees.
Mr.. White said the passage of the Hill
resolution would mean the death of tariff
legislation.
