Republicans Would Limit Amend
ments to Tariff Bill.

~ ~s
Washington, March 31.-The Demo-
cratic leaders r getting ready for
the fight that will attend the effort
which it is expected that the Repub-
lican leaders will make to secure the
adoption OF a rule limiting amend
ments to the Payne bill. Upon learn
ing that the Republican whip had
been instructed to have all absent
members on the majority side present
in the house on Thursday at 10
O'Clock the Democratic leader issued
similar instructions to the minority
whip.
It is not believed that a caucus will
be held by the Republicans to bind
the members of the party in the house
to support a rule limiting amend
ments to the tariff bill. That a rule
will be reported by the rules commit
tee on Thursday, which will limit the
consideration of the tariff bill under
the five-minute debate procedure to
committee amendments and amend
ments on seven or eight paragraphs,
seems to be the existing opinion.

viSion for Free Hides. ~
Washington. March 31.-The tagging
interest in the tariff discussion was
made manifest when it was observed
that but a dozen members were in
their seats upon the converting of the
house and that for the most part
these were the ones scheduled to
speak. There vas such an emptiness
in the house that when the speaker
pro tenn, Mr.. Perkins, called the body
to order the sound OF his gavel echoed
and re-echoed throughout the cham
Der. w
The debate was opened by Mr.. Cox
co.,, who pleaded for a reduction in
the duties on sewing machines, BIZ
cycles and computing scales. He
argued that by reason of the favored
nation clause Germany was enabled
to manufacture and ship sewing ma
chimes and bicycles into Russia,
France and other Continental coun-
tries at about half the tariff imposed
on the same articles of American man
u%facture. Because of this fact the
American manufacturer was handi-
capped in extending his foreign trade.
Unless the tariff was reduced, he said,
the manufacturers of the products
mentioned would be forced to build
factories abroad, which would result
iii throwing out of employment in this
country many skilled workmen.
The action of the committee in re-
moving the duty on hides was disap-
proved by Mr.. Sterling of Illinois.
Mr.. Weisse of Wisconsin replied that
the Is per cent duty so Disseminated
against the American tanner and
leather manufacturer that they lose
IS worth of business on every hide
and labor loses 81 and a half days
work. The bill does not remedy the
situation, said Nh. Sterling. He
charged that Mr.. Weisse's proposal
was to open the flood gates and let in
cheaper hides from South America
and other countries and LUIS the
American farmer to suffer.
Mr.. Hughes of Georgia %contended
that the history of tariff legislation is
lone continuous performance of trag-
edy for the farmers"
THE Democratic platform was right
in demanding free lumber" said Mr..
Kitchin of North Carolina, in oppos-
ing the bill. The great beneficiaries
of the tariff on lumber, he said, were
the big syndicates of stumpage hold
ers in the Northwest and on the Pa
cifc coast.

tors to Dictate Nominations.
Washington, March 31.-President
Taft again stated to callers that he
did not consider the appointment Of
judges to be a part of the patronage
of United States senators. The presi-
dent thinks that judicial appointments
should be free from political influ-
ences. He considers himself com
petent to pass on the fitness of them
for the bench and will do SO. At the
same time he said he would be glad to
receive suggestions from senators and
representatives as to their knowledge
of the qualifications of applicants.
The president has several federal
t~udgeships to fill in the near future
and has received many calls from
senators and representatives from the
districts where the vacancies exist.
