WASHINGTON, D. c., June g.
What do 1 think of the tariff"
Senator LaFollette loked at his
questioner and was silent. Then
he looked about the room--his
study-piled with open books, lit
tered with pamphlets, strewn with
corded-up manuscript and type
written copy.
That's what you think?" was
suggested. "Volumes?"
He nodded.
"The Aldrich bill is"
Bad"
why? In what respect more
than another?''

any respect in which it isn't bad"

or DOWN."
upward. I have the figures. I
shall make it a matter of ,mathe-
NAUTICAL demonstration before this
business is over"
isn't that what the people
want?"
do the people want the burden
of taxation laid more heavily on
their backs?"
"But the people asked a revision
Of the tariff and the republican
party promised that"
Revision downward. That is
what the people asked. And that
is what the platform makers pre-
tended they were pledging. And
that is what was-in fact-pledged
by every candidate and party man
who made speech on this subject.
1t is nonsense to pretend that this
is not true"
Then somebody is guilty of
bad faith?"
Every man who supports the
Aldrich bill is guilty of bad faith"
"But they say the bill will be
improved in conference"
81 have seen bills improved in
conference before. l remember
how Mr.. Aldrich sent the emer.
gency currency act to conference
with five improvements which had
been added in the senate And I
remember how it came back
stripped of all of them, including
that for strengthening bank re-
serves, and then-in the rush and
urgency of winding up the bust
ness of the senate-it was ap-
proved This is the Aldrich way"
"You don't think tariff laws
should be made behind closed
doors?"
'Nor any other kind of laws.
Publicity is the one great safe
guard to the peoples liberties. l
propose to fight the effort to sup
press debate"
"Are there efforts. of that
sort?"
There are Every day the in
terests which Aldrich represents in
the senate are trying to bring the
tariff matter to the closed-door con-
ference committee stage. They
don't like this talk. Mr.. Root
sneers at senators who talk--for
home consumption talk for home
consumption-and for the con-
sumption of all the homes in the
United States. The people ought
to understand that they are being
robbed-that they are being tax
ed, though poor, to add to the
swollen fortunes of the idle rich;
would like to talk to them until!
they understand that they are be-
ing fooled; that they are being lied
to by Aldrich; that they are stand
ing like patient pack-mules while
the Aldriches, Roots and Gallingers
of the senate add more pounds to
the burden of taxation-more dol
lars to the poor mans cost of liv-
ing. more inequalities between the

annoyed when he received letter from
Deylin yesterday in which he said: I

of the prosecutions in your court. In
reply / desire to advise you that the
prosecutions in your court were not IN
