quite made up. He will fight for that
Legislation and fight hard He hopes
to secure from congress some definite
action regarding that legislation at
the present session, but if he does no.,
he will bring the subject again before

made to congress on that question.

AS to APPROPRIATIONS


Some concern was given at the
conference to the subject of appro-
priations to be authorized at the pres
ent session of congress. The president
cordially approved Of the disposition
OF congress to hold the appropriations
down to the lowest possible limit, but
he urged very strongly that the naval
appropriations should not be material
~ disturbed, saying that the best
guarantee of peace for this country
lies in strong and homogeneous
navy and that the naval programme
as mapped out should be carried into
effect without the dropping of single
vessel The president maintained that
congress should authorize the cons
struction not merely of one or two
cruisers, but of fighting ships, battle
ships, and he expressed the hope that
an agreement in this regard might
be reached in congress.

THINKS TARIFF SCHEDULES
SHOULD BE READJUsTED.
FREIGHT RATE QUESTION
Holds That Regulation of Railroads Is
Paramount Issue at Pres
ent Time.

Washington, Jan 11.-President
Roosevelt favors the earliest possible
action looking to a revision by cor
gress of the tariff He so informed
the senators and representatives who
were in conference with him at the
White house last Saturday, and he has
made plain his position to others since
that conference. He will call the
Fifty-ninth congress into extraordl-
nary session as soon as the commit
tees have indicated that they are pre-
pared to submit a tariff measure for
passage.
One of those present at the confer
ence on Saturday said today in view
OF the conflicting stories published
regarding the meeteing, that the presi-
dent informed them that while he did
not believe in any sweeping revision
of the tariff, and would abide abso-
lutely by the judgment of the two
houses of congress in matter that
related so particularly to them, yet
he did think the time had come when
the schedules should be examined and
there should be readjustment as ID
certain of them The president added
that his own view was that the special
session should take place at the ear
liest date at which the committees
of the two houses could come to an
agreement as to bill.
Ready to Call Session.
If they took this view, he said, he
| would hold himself ready to call the
extraordinary session at whatever
time the members OF the two commit
tees, especially the house committee
or ways and means, should inform
him they would be ready with their re-
port. If congress should act on the
tariff question in accordance with the
presidents desire, it was made per-
| fectly plain today that the eXtraordi-
nary session would be called to assem-
BILE in the coming spring. 1t has been
pointed out, however, by the tariff ex-
perts of the mouse and of the senate,
that it will require many weeks to
prepare a measure for submission to
the house. The president realizes that
this is practical objection to an early
extraordinary session of congress, as
the members of the committee have
not the time now necessary to devote
to the preparation of a tariff bill. So
far as the president is concerned he
would be willing to have congress in
session during the summer months.

RAILROAD TALK.
Brazos Valley May Build from Cool
idge to Dallas.

After all there seems to have been
some foundation for the rumor that
the Trinity and Brazos Valley rail-
road would be built to Dallas. Fol-
lowing a report appearing in this
paper the other day with reference
TO the visit of Pat German TO the
city, comes the announcement from
Cleburne that the Brazos Valley con-
templates building from Coolidge to
Dallas via Waxahaehie Coolidge is
a small town in Hill county on the
main line of that road. The article
published i'm last weeks paper was
reproduced by the Hillsboro Mirror,
to which the following was added:
Recently a party of r. & B. Y.
surveyors made a horseback trip
from Coolidge TO Waxahachis and
thence to Dallas, and ii is probable
that Mr. German was one of the
party The Mirror learns that such
an extension has been and is still
seriously contemplated by the T. &
B. ", though it is not likely that
il will be undertaken in the near
future. 1t is worth while, however,
for our citizens to investigate the
matter through the good offices of
the Commercial Club. II an exten-
sion is made TO Dallas, why should it
be made from Coolidge when there
would be a saving in construction
TO make the extenson from Hills
boro, which is the logical point from
which to make it, The club should
at once take the matter up.
