PROBE PAPER TRUST
House Passes Cannon Resolution
for an Investigation.
SELECT COMMITTEE NJ


Republican Leaders Declare the Com.
bine Is Responsible for High Prices,
but the Democrats Lay the Blame
to Both the Tariff and the Trust.
Washington, April 22.-The house
has adopted Speaker Cannon's resolu-
ton authorizing the appointment of a
committee to investigate the so called
paper trust and the general subject of
wood pulp and the manufacture of
printing paper. The speaker an
nounced the following as members of
the committee to make the proposed
investigation: Mann (Ill.), Miller
<Kan.), Stafford (Wis.), Bannon CO.,,
Sims (Tenn.), Ryan IN. ".
The resolution provides for a select
committee of six and was passed IN
der suspension of the rules. In ex-
PLANTATION of the resolution Mr.. Dalzell
tPa.) said it was a matter of public
notoriety that there had been a large
increase In the price of paper. Never,
he declared, had there been such an
agitation rs had been aroused by the
newspapers the last few weeks.
While there was a consensus of opin-
ion, he said, as to the increase there
was no consensus as to the aus Of
that increase. 1t was, he said, capable
of mathematical demonstration that
the increase was not due to the tariff
and he contended that it would not be
changed by a removal of the tariff.
However that may be, he said, there
were those who believed that the in
crease was due to a combination or
trust and it was necessary to get the
facts upon which to base a bill to
meet the Isl
Views Of Minority Leader.
In the opinion of Mr.. Williams the
rise in price was due both to the tar
liz and the combination and the COM
bination is due to the tariff" If, he
said, it had been intended to kill the
combination it could have been done
by putting wood pulp and print paper
on the free List.
Mr.. De Almond (Mo.) declared that
the resolution was but another at
tempt of the Republicans to delude
the people land make them believe
there is an attempt to do something
when the direct attempt is to do moth
ing"
Declaring his opposition to the reso-
luton MIR. Williams, who obtained the
floor again, said he did not think
there would be any real search for
the truth and no real finding or re-
porting of the truth. The resolution,
he said, was intended solely to white
wash the tariff as a criminal as
against the American people with re-
gard to wood pulp and Ito circumvent
this man Herman Ridder, at the head
of the great newspaper association
this German devil, as some people are
beginning to call him-and get around
l%egislating on the question"
The vote on the resolution stood
1S4 to 10 and was strictly on party
1inoS .".

BEVER|DCE PROTESTS
Declares ''Bo Nothing" Attitude Of
Congress Is Bad Politics.
REPUBLICANS HOLD Meeting
Steering Committee of Senate Dis.
cusses Situation, but No Decision Is
Reached to Add Any Measure to
Those Destined for Passage.

Those Destined for Passage.
Washington, April 22.-At a meet
ing of the Republican steering COM
mittee of the senate the legislative
programme was discussed, but no de-
cision was reached to add any impor-
tant measures to those destined for
enactment: at the present session of
congress. In regard to currency leg
islation it was stated that if the house
passed a bill providing for a commit
tee to investigate financial matters the
senate WOULD Immediately, upon re-
ceipt of the measure, vote to add the
Aldrich currency bill, with a view of
putting the whole subject into confer
ence.
Senator Aldrich made it clear that
If there was to be financial legislation
of any character at this session it
would be along the line of what al
ready had been done in the senate,
with concurrence in the provision for
a commission to sit during the recess
of congress to consider currency mat
tiers.
Senator Hale told his colleagues on
the committee that the sentiment of
the senate was against the four battle
ships scheme advocated by the presi-
dent and that it would be useless to
try to get an appropriation for more
than two battleships at this session.
1t appeared from the discussion that
there were few measures in addition
to appropriation bills that have any
prospect for passage at the present
session. Senator Beverage declared
That It Would Be Bad Politics
to adjourn without passing some
of the measures desired by the presi-
dent and that the edo nothing" policy
would be heard of in the coming cam
paign. He spoke of the difficulty Re-
publican campaigners would have in
answering the charge that the presi-
dents programme for beneficial legis-
lation had been ignored by a Repub-
lican congress. He was particularly
urgent in demanding consideration for
an anti-injunction bill and for the pro-
posed amendments to the Sherman
antitrust law.
The other members of the steering
committee, however, saw little chance
for the passage of these measures and
several senators argued that it would
be worse politics to divide the party
on bills that could not pass than to let
these bills sleep until after the cam
paign.
Although no date of adjournment
was considered it was generally
agreed that the business of the ses-
sion could be concluded about the mid
die of May, unless the minority fill
buster in the house should prolong
the session. Senator Beverage op'
posed an adjournment without an eff
fort to carry out the presidents pol
icy or some action showing a DISPOSE
ton to revise the tariff, such as the
appointment of a commission. To ig-
nore these things, he said, would be
a grave mistake.

A REGRETFUL FACT,

The traveller mourns the dis
appearance of the picturesque cos
tunes of the, European peasantry.
One has to go far away from the cities
nowadays to know that such thing
exists. The clatter of the wooden
shoe is lost joy of Holland towns of
any size. The WEIGH women have
given up the stove pipe hats and
quilted kertles and gay cotton bodices
of their mothers The up-to date
American woman, however, keeps the
family table supplied with golden
grain belt beer. You will find it a
delightful drink for the whole family
at all times and on all occasions.
