Ultimately.
Sir Warren created much Amusement
by urging Mr.. Beveridge to forcgo the pride
n paternity and give up the idea Of having
the 'Bcveridge bill go laundering down tho
ages, and to accept the compromise Of tho
President. Speaker Cannon and ChairInen
wadsworth, " he said should not object to
such distinguished company. Let us call
II the Beveridge-Roosevel t-Cannon-Wa
worth bill
Mr.. Beveridge inquired OF the Wyoming
Senator what he thought Of the matter
Of dates on cans.
Mr.. Warren replied that he was satisfied
TO leave the matter to the Judgment Of
senator Beveridge. "He has asked me to
rush my speech to get the bill into con-
ference said he. an leave the can ques-
ton to him and he may rush the can as fast
as he likes, and wherever he rushes, III
follow"
Il don't know what the Senator means
by rushing the can, u snapped Mr.. Beveridge.
Mr.. Warren said it was proposed to tax
the COW in the b%arnyard, out the turkeys,
geese, birds that fill the air, the gypsy moth
and even miscellaneous insects get an ap-
preparation, but the cow, .the patient cow
must be taxed"
Does the Senator class the packers as
miscellaneous insects2" inquired Mr.. Nelson
Of Minnesota.
~ -. -;s defending the packers said
Mr.. Warren. "The packers will not pay the
tax, the stookgrower will pay it
Mr.. Clay Of Georgia inquired il the States
did not have effective inspection laws.
Mr.. Hepburn Of Idaho interrupted to assert
that II Congress would pass the Pure Food
bill it would meet the case.
The debate was closed by Mr.. Hepburn
and the bill, with the House substitute for
the Beveridge amendment, was then sent
to conference, Messrs, Proctor, Hansbrough
and Simmons being named as conferees
on the mart of the Senate.
The Senate passed the bill authorizing
the establishment OF the Mesa Nerda Ma
tional Park in southwestern Colorado
20 preserve the cliff dwellers' ruins.
Mr.. Long OF Kansas offered a resolution
asking the Acknowledgement Of the United
States to send to the Senate a complete
list of all cases begun by the Department
Of Justice under the Sherman antitrust
law and interstate commerce law and the
disposition OF the same.
Mr.. Foraker offered an amendment ask
ing the Department Of Justice to supply a
list also Of the suits unde the Elkins re-
bate law. Mr.. Foraker said the informa-
ton when furnished would show that the
Elkins law meets every complaint heard
during the recent rate bill discussion. Mr..
Foraker reviewed some OF the cases under
the Ekins law. He said It was evident
that the Elkins law furnished a complete
remedy for existing evils. He said it had
been reported that the rate bill conferees
had been having difficulty in reaching an
agreement.
Il think it would be a blessing II they
did not agree, said he, 'or il they do agree,
that the Senate would reject the whole
matter, for / cannot imagine a bill fraught
With more mischief than this rate bill
MIR. Foraker declared that the Inter
state Commerce Commission was doing the
best work in It's history. He spoke Of the
revelations in the investigation Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. Nothing has been
disclosed in that investigation he said,
that cannot be remedied under the Elkins
law"
On objection from Mr.. Beveridga the
resolution went over.
