in fertile. though sparsely settled
country. which at the present time has
no railroad facilities Traffic agree
ments have been made with the Santa
Fe company whereby cars for through

of land within shipping distance, and

eohyNGE ON SUGAR TARIFF.
Co'orsoo Representative Defends Su-
gar Beet interests.

WaShlu luEton.-in a speech of an hour
and ftIten minutes directed against
the Philippine tariff bill, Representa-
tive bonNns Tuesday made good and
established himself as one of the lead
ing orators of the present Congress.
Good Ia, was with Mr.. Bonynge. for
he was called TO make the opening
speech Of the days session, and when
he arose 10 talk there was full at
tendance OF members and the galleries
conta med a large audience. Mr. Bon
ynge made fine use OF these advant-
ages ana held his hearers attention
throuShout his address. He is one of
the few speakers in the House whose
every word can be distinctly heard to
the farihest corner of the galleries.
MI. Bonynge's speech was good ma
tureo IN tone and when a long line of
memberS crowded around him at its
close 10 offer congratulations, among
them We're Payne and DalZell, whom
he had prodded vigorously, but with
good humor
In his opening address, Mr.. Bonynge
ATTACKED the views of the house
leadeE MIR. Payne. as represented in
his fl:St speech on the pending bill,
and characterized them as being far
from trIe protective doctrine.
ne then reviewed Republican legis-
lation in reference to sugar and con
tended that the legislation proposed
by the present bill was not Republican
in its nature and tendencies, but Dem
ocratic. He took up fhe questions in
volved in the relationship of the Phil
ippineS to the United States and as
serted hat the present tariff bill is a
radicai departure from the position
here etotere occupied. Up to this
time. he contended the Republican
part had shown that it had the legal
power and moral right to levy tax
upon products coming from our insular
POSSESSIONS.
H quoted from speeches made by
DalZeI and Payne on the Porto Rican
tarlf measure to prove this, and urged
the House to follow these two leaders
when they enunciated Republican doc
trine, and forsake them when they did
not. He also quoted from the Republi-
can campaign book of 1900 in support
our relationship with the Philippine
islands
Nj. Bonynge then contended that the
proposed legislation would not do the
Filipino laborer or small plantation
owner any good, but the entire benefit
would 90 20 the sugar trust, which, he
said. was graphically described by
Speaker Cannon in his Porto Rican tar
If speech as an internal red-eyed
bald headed and brimstone-eating
trust
He undertook to show that the pass
age Of this bill would be a great
menace and a serious blow to beet SUI
gar industry and cited the effect that
similar legislation had in increasing
the sugar production of Hawaii Porto
Rico and Cuba at the expense OF the
United States.

~ NE afternoon last summer two

Lie instruments were neatly boxed

REPUBLIC STEEL MERGER
WITH T. C. |. DELAYED

Whether the merger of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron Company with the
Republic Iron and Steel Company
viii be brought about in the
near future is a problem. No plan
seems TO be agreed upon as yet. and
some who are well posted believe that
it may be months before the desired
result is accomplished, as considerable
difficulty is being experienced in fixing
an equitable basis for exchanging the
stocks for those OF q new company.
The plan suggested involves the TAX
ing over Of one share OF the Tennessee
company for S2O0 In bonds and Repub-
lie preferred and common at l25 and 40.
respectively. The Republic Iron and
Steel Company is superior TO the
Tennessee Coal and Iron compa-
ny from a manufacturing stand
point, but the Tennessee is much
stronger than the Republic from the
viewpoint of raw material. The ore de
pOsits Of the Tennessee amount TO sew
eral hundred million tons, while those
Of the Republic will be exhausted in a
few years. Republic is better proper
~ physically and financially than the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. but
this may not be the case FIVE years

BACON GETS RESOLUTION
ABOUT MOROCCO PASSED
In Meantime He and Lodge Had Tilt
Over Presidents Supposed Com
ment on Senate

Senator's Bacon and Lodge became in
volved in "A long argument In the Sen
ate today over the authority for an
article that appeared in several papers
last week, purporting 20 have been ex-
prcssious of opinion of President
Roosevelt and Secretary Root, regard
ing the SenaIe's action in discussing
the Bacon resolution in secret session.
AIr. Bacon assumed that the story
could not have originated with other
than the President and the Secretary
of State. Mr.. Lodge questioned the
right of the Senate 10 accept such
statement as being authorized by the
President or the Secretary Of State
holding that the President and the
Secretary would not be so iisrespectful
to the Senate as the article in question
would Indicate
The argument was brought about
through Senator BacOn's offering a
resolution declaring that interference
with or participation vi -ny controversy
between European governments relating
10 European international questions is
a violation of the well-established and
well-settled and well-defned policy of
this government. This resolution was
passed.
Mr.. Bacon then entered upon a public
discussion of the Moroccan situation.
which he has been attempting for some
days. but which Mr.. Lodge of the For
eign Relations Committee has been pre-
venting by having the doors closed.

DAIRYhEN BACKWARD,
SAYS OFFICIAL REPORT
Bulletin Issued Recently by Bureau of
Animal Industry Contains VaIu-
able Information.

The Bureau of Animal Industry has
just issued bulletin. in which are
given a series OF tables and pages OF
Information relative TO dairying in the
United States.
According TO this publication. the
number or daiTymen in the United
States who condusJ their business on
business principles are in the minority.
II is said that i'm dairying sections
where a few farmers kept good stock
and managed their diaries along scien-
tifc lines. their influence upon the COM
murity was for the bettemcHt OF all;
but such cases were not common. and
in many localities the farmers took their
cue from some back number who farm
Cd I'm the old. slipshod fashion.
Thus good and poor d.Irymeu, so the
bulletin states, are 20 be found in cIus-
tiers over the country, the latter being
cnara CtcFlZed by ii supreme indiffeT-
ence 70 farmers. reading courses, instI-
advantages which the Government
places al the disposal cf the agricuiEu-
raj classes.
Thus while some clusters of dairymen
tend 10 become more advanced and en-
Ightencd. there are other communities
where all are becoming ignorant and
poverty stricken together.
The tests carried out during the year
reveal The fact that the greatest butter
and milk producing cows are the HOl-
stein-FriSlan. Guernsey, and the Swiss
Brown. the latter being 10 many. a
from Switzerland which has found con-
siderable favor IN New York and New
England. After these three breeds
come the Jerseys and shOrt-horns, etc.
