House This Month.
REBATE MEASURE DRAFTED

the discussion relative to tariff revi-
sion was given 4 boom Yesterday after
noon by the Wisconsin delegation in the
House.
At meeting at which there was a
fun representation resolutions were
adopted favoring an early revision of
certain tariff schedules.
Although the resolutions are silent on
the question of an extra session ii is
the impression that the action Of the
delegation viii go largely toward
strengthening the hand of the President
in his desire for an extra session.
Resolutions as Adopted.
The resolutions unanimously adopted.
which viii be sent to the President. are
as follows:
Whereas the National Republican
platform Of 1896, upon which our pres
ent tariff law is based, declares that
We are not pledged TO any particular
schedule. The question of rates is a
practical question. to be governed by the
conditions of the time and of produc-
ton; ana
Whereas the national convention of
f944 declares that the measure of pro-
lection should always at least equal
the difference in the cost of production
at home anG abroad. We insist upon
the maintenance CT the principle Of
protection, and, therefore, rates of
duty should be readjpsted only when
conditions have 50 changed that the
public interest demands their aItera-
tion,' and
Whereas we believe that conditions
regarding the cost of production have
so changed since the Dineley law was
eracted eight years ago that the rates
% duty provided for In certain sched-
uIes represent mere than the iifferenc.
in cost of production between articles
manufactured in this couHtry and
abroad; therefore.
Resolved, That the Republican mem
bers Of the Wisconsin delegation In the
House 0f Representative favor an carry
revision OF those schedules In the Ding
ley act which are higher tilan is neces-
sary TO afford adequate Drotcctlon"

plan 10 bring these employees under

that while it would pat many deserving

the designation of -'Iaborers." makes an
interesting review
In 1892. SO persons were reported to the
Civil Service Commission as laborers
irregularly performing classified work
A number of these persons have since
been dropped from the service or have
been regularly appointed through COM
petitive examination
An executive =tact3sref Nav 6. 1896 is
sued by President Cleveland, provided
that the laporers who We're then ragu-
larly assigned to classified work should
be classified. and that thereafter no
person who was appointed as a laborer
without examination under the civil
service rules should be assigned to
classified work It was believed that
this would cure the evil of evading the
civil service law and rules by appointing
persons as mere laborers when in fact
they We're 10 do work which could prop
erly be performed only by persons ap-
pointed through competitive examina-
ton.
Evil Is Repeated
Notwithstanding this order Il was
found from reports from the depart
ments in 1902 that there had been an ex-
tonsfve repetition of the evil 1t was
to remedy TINS tndt president RGOSe-
yelt, on July ;, 1902, issued an order that
thereafter all appointments of unclassi-
fled laborers should be made through
competitive examination as to their
physical qualifications, character. in
