MILES SAYS THE ARMY BILL is
LIKE LAWS OF THE M0NARCHIES

Mr.. Pettus-He should be allowed
the liberty of striking out anything
which ought not to be published, even
il it is stated correctly in this report.
In the revised testimony General
Miles says of the proposed army bill:
1t is Capitalization OF the most pro
nounced type, augnents the power of
the staff, and in effect removes it fur
ther from touch with the lighting force
Of the army. The scheme is revoIu-
tlOnary; casts to the winds the lessons
Of experience and abandOns methods
which successfully carried US through
the most memorable war epCchs of our
history The proposed plan is but an
effort to adopt ana foster in a repub-
hcan form of government such affairs,
a system peculiarly adapted to mon
arches having immense standing arm
les. 1t would seem to Germanize and
Russianize the small army of the
United States.
1t seems TO authorize throwing the
door wide open for a future aUtocrat
or a military despot. 1t is not. in my
judgment, in accordance with the prin-
ciple and theory of democratic gov
eminent and for the best interests Of
the army, which has existed for over
100 years and fulfilled all your require
ments, TO adopt such q scheme"

Washington, March 24.-Genersl
Miles has been allowed to revise his
testimony given before the committee
recently, and his threat to resign has
been eliminated.
The following colloquy at the close Of
the hearing explains the revision:
AIT. Pettus-l5r Chairman, 1 think
there ought to be some mode Of having
these notes revised.
The Chairman-That viii be done.
Mr.. Pettus-The report OF the pro-
ceedings should be submitted to Cen
eral Miles, with permission 20 strike
out such portions as ought not TO be
published.
Mr. FroctOT-That is it.
General Miles, don't know that
there is anything to be stricken out
The Chairman-We have been in the
habit Of submitting to the witness be-
core the committee, whoever he was,
the stenographeT report Of his re-
marks for correction. of course.
Mr.. Pettus-I wanted TO so further
than that. The stenOgrapher has no
doubt taken down correctly what the
general has said, but there are some
things that he said which he may de-
sire to strike out, and 1 think he should
be allowed that privilege.
The Chsirman-He y st be the judge
Of that.

ter Bill Mysteries.

ter Bill mysteries.
Washington, March 24.-Considera-
ton was begun by the senate today Of
what is popularity known as the oleo-
margarine bill. The measure places a
tax Of 10 cents a pound on oleomar-
garine cOlCred in imitation OF butter
and reduces the present tax Of 2 cents
per pound on oleOmargarine to one
quarter Of 1 cent a pound in its I'M
cOlOred form.
Mr.. Proctor of Vermont. chairman of
the committee on agriculture, made
the opening statement in support of
the measure. A few bills Of minor
importance were passed before the
OleOmargarine bill was taken up. He
said the evidence showed that the bulk
o. the Oleomargarine manufactured
reached the consumer as pure butter
One Of the objects of the bill was to
prevent this deception and to insure
the detection of any frauds attempted
on the consumers Of butter
Mr.. CulbersOn of Texas inquired
what the necessity OF the bill, admit
teddy a revenue measure. was, and
whether there were any statistics
showing the amount OF money the bill
would produce
Mr.. Proctor replied that he had not
deemed it necessary 10 go into that
phase Of the question. In conclusion,
Mr. Proctor said: This is a measure
to protect an honest product against a
fraud"
