TARIFF TRAINERS
WORKING ON BILL
Maximum and Minimum Duty
Problem Of Chief Con-
sideration.
/ FLOOD Of SUGGESTIONS
Committee Almost Swamped With
Letters and Petitioner 'avoring and
Opposing Chanyss-Daily Ses-
sions for Committee.

Washington, Dec 29,-The work
of preparing the revised tariff bill
was resumed yesterday by the sub
cQn1mitte6 OF the house ways and
!. .Hle6ns eOnamitte Two meetings
were held yesterday and there is
every indication that the tariff franz
ing committee which consists of the
republican members OF the full COM
mIttee, will continue to hold daily
meetings until the time comes to re-
port the bill to congress at the spe-
cial session in March.
Hundreds of letters and briefs are
being received by the committee
daily and the suggestions offered and
changes requested are varied.
The tariff trainers are giving much
consideration to the maximum and
minimum duty problem in connection
with the tariff. Although the United
States was the first to utilize this
method to secure favorable trade
relations with other countries it has
never applied the principle to but
few articles, while several foreign
countries have applied the principle
to cover everything.
If the maximum and minimum
tariff becomes a law it will be possi-
BILE for the president TO apply the
benefits of the maximum and mini
mum tariff to every country that
gives this country the same benefits.

Victory For Attorney General.

vlCCOTy TOT ACCOTHOy 0oAAoAasAs
Redfield, S. D., June 29.-Special:
Attorney General Clark today received
a dispatch from the supreme court
announcing a decision in favor of his
position in the Woonsocket liquor
case. At the spring election at Woon-
socket the vote on the license ques-
tion was one majority in favor of Ii
cense. However there were more
votes cast for mayor than on the H.
quor question. The prohibitionists
claimed that license required a ma
jority of all votes at the election and
not merely a majority of votes cast
on the license proposition. The same
condition prevailed in Redield,
Beresford and several other towns in
the state, and the decision was eager
ly awaited throughout the state. This
decision is based upon the peculiar
wording of the clause relating to the
sale of Intoxicating liquor, and means
that the towns named are in the dry
column for the ensuing year.
