Washington Notes.

From The Saginaw Courier Herald.
Washington, D. c., Jan. 22-It is
the consensus of opinion at both ends
of the capital that if the Philippine
tariff bill is ever enacted into law, it
will only be after fight that will last
far into the session. if not until nearly
or quite the> close of the session. The
senate is bound to materially amend
the bill before passing tiff it ever
does pass it-and SO when it gets back
to the house and the question of con-
eurrence with the senate amendments
comes up, the whole fight must nee
essarily be gone over again there, and
the bill may have been so much
changed by the senate that it will not
find half as many supporters among
the administration republicans as 1t
had before. In other words, any sort
of change made to the bill by the
senate will naturally have tendency
10 multiply the number of .'insur-
gents, who are anxious to defeat the
bill, no matter in what form the SEN
ate passes it. 1t can not become a
law unless the house agrees to each
and several of the amendments made
10 it by the senate.
Representative Fordney will speak
at the Zach Chandler Republican club
banquet in Lapeer on Friday evening
next but he does not expect to leave
Washington until after he has had an
opportunity of voting with the ''in-
surgents" against the adoption of a
rule for the consideration of the
statehood bill without the privilege of
separating the two state propositions
or of Offering any other amendments
10 the Hamilton bill, which is the one
to be considered by the house for quite
a part, if not all, of next week. This is
the bill, providing for two states,
Arizona and New Mexico for one, and
Oklahoma and Indian Territory for the
other, which the house leaders have
decreed shall pass without the change
of a line or word. He expects to be
back in his seat before the discussion
on the bill is completed and the final
vote taken on its passage.
Mr.. Fordney has secured favorable
report on his bill to increase the pension
of Hiram E. Monroe to $s4 month,
the bill will pass the house on the next
pension day.

There is not the slightest reason to
doubt the truth of the statement made
at the recent conference of democrat
leaders and party spokesman, that they
are sorely disappointed with Michigan
primary election law. The. fact that
such law exists is the real cause of
their complaint. They hoped that a
primary law would not be passed by the
republican legislature. Perhaps they
believed it would not. They had 4the
the statement at every opportYRiVthat
no such privilege would be provided in
Michigan. And now to find themselves
confronted with a practical, workable
direct voting lava better law than
Wisconsin or Minnesota or any other
northern state possesses-is surely
cause for democrat disappointment and
complaint. 1t is not half so much the
details of the present primary election
law that the democrat leaders of Michi-
gan object to as the fact that any such
law is in existence. Cadillac News and

1t appears from developments that the
payment in the customary" way of the
grand jurors will be good thing for
the taxpayers of the county and it is
hoped that many matters in connection
with petit juries will be regulated as a
result, Jurors are not entitled to pay
for Sundays and the stopping of this
custom alone will be large item. 1t
is also contended that there has been
much money drawn in many ways for
services not performed and the more in
vestigation of these matters the more
good will result.
