BROWNE: KICKS
ON CITY PAY .
SCALE
Maloney Challenges Claim
on Actual Test of
Expense.

With his sharp voice at a pitch
which could be heard all over the
city hall yesterday afternoon, ]. j.
Browne, pioneer and capitalist,
made a vicious attack on the city
wage ordinance, declaring 1t to be
damnable legislation and highway
robbery.
The statements arose out of a
protest to the street committee
against the regrade of Washington
street, o. r. &c N. tracks to Buck
eye avenue. Mr.. Browne is one of
the heaviest property owners. He
said that regrade was illegal, for
the reason that the present grade
had been established and paid for
once. Although the committee
finally agreed to recommend that
the assessment roll be not con-
firmed, it will probably provoke
considerable debate in the council
meeting tonight.
The street is in an abominable
condition. The proposed new side
walks will hardly be laid until the
street grade Is put into better
shape. 1t is only a question of
time until the city will be forced
to fight heavy damage actions by
reason of the dangerous conditions
of the sidewalk, and even the
street itself. Old, wornout boards
with the nails protruding are a
menace to people not only at night
but in broad daylight.
Mr.. Browne declared that 81 a
day were wages enough for city
laborers, and that the $2.75 paid
by ordinance was robbing property
owners out of Is cents. Mr..
Browne said that many men want
ed to work for him at $50 month
and board, and they were compe-
tent wOrkmeh, too.
With Howard street closed on
account of bridge operations,
Washington street is now the only
passage from the south to the
northside between Division and
Monroe streets.
With regard to the assertions of
J. J. Browne that the improvement
of Washington street at the con-
tract price of s27,331 amounted to
confiscation of property, and that
the common labor wages of $2.75
a day was exorbitant, Thomas Ma
loney, business agent of the federal
union, this morning declared that
if the city would turn the job over
to the union to do at day labor a
great amount of money would be
saved. He refused to enter a con.
troversy with Mr.. Browne.

PENN|lESS man
BROKE. into
JAIL
Stole Trousers 80 He Could
Secure Food and
Shelter.

Because he was tired and hun
CRY, George Guyette. a carpenter,
age so, stole pair of trousers
from a Main avenue store last
night so he would be arrested and
put in Jail. He was detected In
the act by the proprietor and ar
rested by Patrolman Jake Warner.
Guyette was penniless and told
the police that his bed for several
nights had been a boxcar and his
only food what he could get occa-
sionally by begging a nickel from
someone.
Guyette, although only so years
old, looked to be so when standing
in the warm station mumbling out
his name to the booking officer.
Yes, I took them pants and
don't deny it," he said. Il haven't
had a decent place to sleep in so
long l can't remember. l haven't
anything to eat and haven't had
but bite in two days. I'd sooner
be in Jail the rest of my life than
to starve and freeze as | have been
the past few days"
Guyette's wish will probably be
gratified by Justice Mann. The
trousers he stole were cheap and
the offense is petty larceny pun
ishable by fine or Jail sentence.
AS he has no money to pay fine
he will serve time in Jail. In these
times case of restitution and
misery such as this is the cause
of considerable interest. Although
it is generally understood that
there is plenty of work for anyone
who will work, Guyette told the po-
lice that when a man is down and
hasn't cent to pay an employ
ment agent for a job, he is strict
ly up against it." He says there
is plenty of work if man pays for
it. There are so many ahead of
him in the line which daily appears
before the free employment office
that Guyette did not show up but
once.

ING TO RUN THE HOUSE
AGAIN.

Special Correspondence to The Press


WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10
Revision of the tariff is already
beginning to occupy the stage. 1t
will be unofficially considered at
the session of congress beginning
Dec. 7, and some kind of bill will
be passed at an extra session to be
called late in March.
The republican majority in con-
gress and President-elect Taft are
pledged to revise the tariff. Even
Speaker Cannon admits that a re-
vision is inevitable.
But the tariff will be revised by
it's friends
The present organization will, in
all probability be continued in the
sixty-first congress. Speaker Can
non will again be speaker, and Sc
reno Payne will be chairman of the
committee on ways and means.
Consequently the next tariff law
will be known as the Payne bill.
The talk of displacing Cannon
from the speakership has not been
heard much since the returns came
in. Republicans in congress gener-
ally accept the verdict as an in
dorsement of the Cannon record,
and they propose to uphold the Or
ganiZation as it was.
This result will materially affect
tariff legislation. Cannon, Payne,
Dalzell and the rest are all protec-
tionists of the rankest stand pat
type. The only revision which they

They urge that the law be passed
quickly and quietly, and go into
effect from and after the date of
it's passage.
Lasts winter congress passed a
resolution ordering the ways and
means committee and the senate
finance committee to make a pre-
|.liminary investigation during the
summer in order to expediate tariff
legislation. But beyond requesting
the treasury department to get up
some statistics, Congressman
Payne has disregarded the rcom,
mands of congress. So has Senator
Aldrich. He has been travelling
abroad at government expense as
chairman of subcommittee on
finance to investigate the working
of the foreign banking systems.
Before the bill is framed there
will be hearings by the ways and
means committee. at which those
affected will be permitted to show
why sentence of revision should
not be passed upon them.

TAFTS FIRST FIGHT WILL BE
WITH CANNON & CO. ON TARIFF
HISTORY OF TARIFF

This country began tariff
agitation in 1919. Following
the period Of hard times
which began with that year,
a tariff was devised as a
remedy, and in 1924 the first
law was passed. This was
followed by other laws in
1928, 1882, 1888, 1912 1S4e,
1857 and 1864. The latter
law is the basis of all the
laws which have since been
passed. In 1882 President
Arthur secured a tariff COM
mission to investigate and
report a scientific plan for
revising the law, but con-
gress paid no attention to
its recommendations.
The Mckinley tariff bill,
passed during Harrison's
administration, routed the
republicans in 1892. The
weird Wilson-Gorman bill,
passed by a democratic con-
gress, was followed by re-
publican victory in 1896.
The tariff law now in
force was passed by a spe-
cial session of congress by
Mckinley Immediately after
his inauguration in 1897. 1t
was known as the Dingley
bill. 1t has been in opera
ton for II years.

City Csssc1 Meet;as

Members of the town council held
an adjourned meeting Tuesday night
at (which an ordinance was passed
providing for issuance OF refunding
bonds authorized by tax payers at
the recent election. At that election
there were thirty-six votes for re-
funding and seven against 1t was
evident that no very intense interest
had been excited in the matter and
indeed it NAV not be necessary to
issue the bonds. but council thought
best to be fully prepared, and the
ordinance, which appears elsewhere
in this paper, is further step in
that direction. The new bonds will
bear five per cent interest and be
redeemable in ten years with limit
of twenty years. The law provides
that they must be sold at par. Many
of them will undoubtedly be ex-
changed even up for old bonds, and
as large part of the issue will he
in 500 denominations with semi
annual interest, it is thought they
will be taken up in quantity by
local investors. Indeed these 800

tionally safe and profitable form of
investment as one can rsalize upon
such security at short n,tice
