Senator Fulton gave notice before
the close Of the holiday recess that.
Immediately after the opening OF the
session following the recess, he
would move TO discharge the Inter

SUGAR BEET BLOCKS
REVISION OF TARIFF
WeSterners Can Have Change If They Are Willing to
Give Up Duty Some Products Along With
That on Steel and Lumber
BY I. C. WELLIVER.

IF the West really wants tariff re-
vision, it can prove its good faith and
get what # wants by coming forward to
announce its willingness to give up the
protection OF beet sugar Snd hides de-
clared q Western Congressman, himself
representing "A state which is strong for
both the items mentioned Continuing
he said:
The peorIe in my state want free
lumber more than they want anything
else in the tariff line. Next to that they
want free iron and steel, because they
believe that would make wire and i'm
pleuents cheaper. After that they want
to retain the tariff on hides, which they
produce, and on sugar. Of which con-
siderable amount is made in the State
They are Just like other people, in
short. they want free supplies for their
own use. and want a tariff or what
they produce. Now, there is one way
we can get revision. II the Westeners
will trade their hide and sugar tariff
for the benefit of free lumber and steel
I believe the votes can be mustered to
pass bill which will greatly extend the
free list and grant very important re-
ductions in many other duties. It's up
TO Us Westerners.
Nerve Will Force Revision.

applied as greatly to help the Porto
Rico coffee people: and they need the
help. Brazil cIapped on an export duty
when we took off the import duty on
coffee. so we might as well retaIiate
by putting back the duty and giving
our own colonies q chance"
The speaker was Representative Hin
shaw of Nebraska He comes from a
district which produces an immense
amount Of hides, but no sugar. In
other parts of his State the beet sugar
interest is important, and some Of his
colleagues would probably not vote for
either free hides or free sugar
Believes State Wants Change.
Mr. Hinshaw, however, believes the
prepogderating sentiment Of his State
The Washington times., 1908-12-23

wants real revision, even if it has to
| be bought in this way. lie recognizes
that II is game of give and take, and
he has been canvassing quietly since
adjournment for the holidays to deter
mine, If possible, how much chance
there is to get a comfortable majority
of votes for their basic proposition.
THAT the tariff measure shall be
based on the assumption OF fre hides,
Tree lumber, free steel, and either free
sugar or else such considerable reduc-
ton as the revenue situation will ad-
nit"
This proposition. coming from man
located as Mr.. HinShaw is, sounds Ike
business. Free hides means free leather,
free shoes, free leather goods generally.
The tanners and the shOemakerS have
said they would surrender their pro-
lection If they could get free hides
Free lumber means long line Of re-
ductions I'm the products OF lumber. Free
steel means that another great list
would be made free or else substantial

the raw material Many manufacturers
have proposed that they would give up

Influence of Sugar Beet.
This is the only way a real revision
can be made Mr. Hinshaw thinks it
ought to be done. and ne is feeling out
the Western people. He doesn't feel
much confidence IN doing anything with
the beet sugar people In general In
fact, the impression now is that the beet
sugar interest viii be relied on TO break
down the plans OF the honest revisers-
At first the hides tariff was accounted
strong enough; but It hasn't proved 50.
The sugar beet, after ali, IS the great
argument
The sugar beet IS the biggest Iegis-
lative influence eXtant. L prevented
the annexation Of Cuba. It passed the
Teller resolution, IL killed the Philip
pine reciprocity treaty, ana IL all but
