WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, Dec. 2S.-When the
House finishes with the tariff bill
now under preparation by the Ways
and Means committee, the Senate Fl
nance committee, of which Nelson B
Aldrich is chairman, will take the
matter in hand.
1t is asserted here that no matter
what the House may do to give the
real tariff revision demanded by the
people of the country, the Senate
committee will not consent to whole
sic revision downward Senator Al
s3.A dominates that committee and
is tariff views are well known. He

Senator Aldrich will have different
problem than when he handled the
Senate in the making of the Dingley
tariff The progressive spirit of the
west is asserting it's independence of
the Aldrich control. Around Senator
LaFoIlette in forming an organiza
ton which will probably wage it's
first great battle against the old or
ganization in the making of the tariff
legislation. The men in or who will
be in the Senate when the contest
comes at the special session and are
counted upon to fight for real revis-
ion are Borah, Brown, Bourne, Bev
eridge, Cummins, Crawford of South
Dakota, Johnson of North Dakota and
LaFOllette There are said to be nine
others who have either declared for
revision or come from states which
demand such legislation. These with
the men who will lead in the fight
will make a respectable minority
that should prove effective. The
prospect is not encouraging to Sen
ator A1drich who knows that if the
democrats stand with them that they
will be able to compel a real revis-
ion of the tariff

Experiment to Be Made in Kansas to
Test Its Greatest Yielding Capacity
Work on one acre for demonstra'
ton purposes is to be started in Sep
TENDER at La Bruyere, the Blue Ridge
farm of the Brus brothers. The
brothers have not decided finally what
crops they will try to fill in the fall
months, but probably they will plant
spinach and late turnips or spinach,
turnips and radishes These products
will bring high prices in the market
when cold weather comes.
The Brus brothers agreed to set
aside one acre of their farm to demon
strate the possibilities of that much
ground. Spinach is the hardest Of
late crops and sells readily, while the
latest radishes are accepted in the city
as delicacies. They expect to keep
the special acre fully occupied until
the time comes to set out plants grown
in the hotbeds and greenhouses. This
will start the next spring early.
From September 10 to the same date
next year the acre will be yielding con-
tinually Every item of expense and
every cent received for the products
from it will be recorded daily.
'"The demonstration will be interest
ing" Eugene Brus said a few days
ago. I'VE are giving the idea close at
tention because we cannot afford to
miss one opportunity during the year.
We are satisfied that our acres can be
made to produce more than they do.
We believe this special acre can be
pushed to higher productivity than in
the past and we shall try to get it to
the highest point Our record will
show labor required and it's cost; time
used for each crop and the price and
profit realized"

HIGH ScHo0l ROY FAVORED TO REQUIRE life PRESERVERS
BILL PROVIDES EQUIPMENT
FOR ALL MOTOR CRAFT.
Favorably Reported in House and
Senate-Senator Frye
Sponsor for It.

In view of the number of motor boat
accidents on the Potomac and near WASH
ington during the summer of 1908 there
is considerable interest in the bill intro
duced by Senator Frye. which has re-
ceived favorable reports in both House
and Senate. which requires motor craft
to carry life presarvers
The measure provides that every yes
sci propelled by machinery other than
steam shall carry life preservers of kinds
approved by the board of supervising in
spectors, so that there shall he at least
'all life preservers shall be slowed so
that their position may be known and
that they may be readily accessible"
Violations are punishable by a fine of
SO for each life preserver lacking or i'm
properly slowed. The act is to go into
effect June i. 1909. except on foreign YES
sells, when the date is December 81. 1909.
In his report to the Senate from the
commerce committee faVOrably recon-
mending the bill Senator Smith says:
The purpose of the BILL which is cor
daily approved by this department. is to
require every motor vessel when subject
to federal jurisdiction. 10 carry at least
one approved --fe preSerVer for each per-
son on board.
The use of small vessels propelled by
naphtha gasoline or other dangerous
fluids, or by, electricity, is increasing
rapidly. Collectors of customs estimate
that there are nov about 10000 such
vessels in the United States. Doubtless
many of these are outside the jurisdiction
of Congress, but many others are so en-
plOyed as to come properly within the
limits of federal supervision in the inter
est of safe navigation.
1.-The navigation OF such vessels is at
tended with special element of danger.
The gasoline and naphtha used to furnish
propelling power are known to be highly
dangerous fluids In case of fire or eX-
plosion these vessels are almost instantly
swept by flames, and practically the only
course open TO those the vessel is to
jump overheard and take the chance OF
being picked up. During the past season
numerous motor vessel accidents invoN-
ing loss of life We're reported. and in near
ly every case available life preServers
would probably have saved life.
Life preservers are 1neNpenSive-a good
one can be bought for a dollar or a dollar
and a half-and for reasons just assigned
| they seem to be q necessary part of the
proper equipment of a motor vessel. They
are certainly as necessary as the fog
signaling apparatus prescribed by several
| acts of Congress. for many of these mo-
tor vessels navigate only in clear weather.

CHARLOTTE. \. c., January l6.-To
hold their products for 16la cents on Il
basis of No. los, while cotton is selling
in New York at 9i2 cents a pound, was
the determination reached today at the
annual meeting of the Southern Soft
Yarn Spinners' Association. This action
was taken through resolution which re-
ceived unanimous Endorsement, and means
that the policy of hand-to-mouth opera
tons in vogue for several months will
be discontinued.
This action follows up. the determined
efforts made at previous meetings 10
bring up the market through curtail-
ment. and it is conceded that efforts
at curtailment have been successful. a
poll taken today showing that there is
ractically no yarn on hand and that
the mills are pretty well sold up to three
to six months to come.
Reports all sides indicated more
satisfactory business conditions in soft
yarns, and the members are distinctly
encouraged. The following officers We're
elected for the ensuing year: President

them in the spirit in which they came as
representatives, of two powers friendly
to China. He listened to the ministers
respectfully as they inquired on be-
half of their governments, whether the
dismissal of Yuan Shi-kai meant a
change in the policy of China.
Prince Ching authoritatively assured
his callers that such was not so. This
assurance. it is understood. puts an end

APPREHENDED A MONOPOLY.
Hillsdale Citizens Oppose the
Builders License Bill.

At the meeting of the Hilsdale Citizens
Association Thursday evening. the Com
missioners bill requiring builders to be
licensed was unanimously opposed. The
members seemed to think the bill would
practically give a monopoly of the trade
to a few large builders by excluding scores
of excellent, practical wOrkmen. The
poor classes would also. suffer, il was
claimed. as the few licensed builders would
have all the work they could do on large
buildings and could not be employed at
any price within the reach of the men of
limited means who wished TO construct a
small dwelling.
This measure would therefore deprive
such people of the only class of workmen
within their reach it was declared.
1.-The association does not think that any
man, however humble. should be deprived
of his right TO work wherever he may be
offered employment; nor any employer
deprived of the services of workman
with whom he is satisfied.
I'm the opinion of the association the
building regulations should be made suf-
ficiently rigid, If not so AT present. to
insure safety under thorough graftless
