United States could do would be to
take care Of Its own people. In con-
versation with Judge Taft few weeks
ago no declared that the president
elect had stated to him there would be
= revision Of the tarifR. He said that
his own knowledge Of the subject was
superficial and that he was open for
conviction. In fact he requested that
remarks would be made In the discus
z sion which would enlighten him as to
the standing OF local manufacturers on
the subject. He referred to the fact
that there was demand for lumber to
b on the free list likewise steel and
1 1ew other articles. Judge Barnard
wanted 1t clearly understood that the
tariff law which would be enacted at
the special session or the next regular
session Of congress he knew not which,
would include provisions which would
not meet the approval OF all. He stated
that he spirit OF compromise should
be the position taken by those who
were effected.
Talks About Cannon.
Speaker Cannon was the next sub
ject considered by the speaker. He re-
3erred to the fact that Mr.. Cannon's
election to succeed himself as speaker
Of the house OF representatives was
practically assured. Judge Barnard
did not explain his own position or at
titude toward Mr.. Cannon last eve
ming although he has been quoted as
being unfriendly toward the present
speaker. However he did say, My dis
trfct IL unfriendly to Mr.. Cannon and
his policies and therefore he may be
unfriendly toward me in my career the
next two years" Judge Barnard was
interrupted with applause at this juno
ture and evidently the impression was
meant that an unfriendly attitude on
Mr.. Cannon's part toward the local
congressman would not be regarded
unfavorably. Continuing Judge Bar
nard stated Il do not know how Mr..
Cannon will stand, because / am
scarcely acquainted with him. How
ever . man big enough to be speaker
OF the house of representatives ought
not to take q stand affecting me, be-
cause my representation is not friend
~ toward him / intend to represent
the Sixth district as T believe the peo-
pie want 1t represented, despite any
unfrisndliness toward me displayed at
Washington"
on the Parcels Post.
Farmers are DESTROYS OF having the
parcels post act enacted, according to
Judge Barnard. He has already met
many farmers and they all favor this.
He presented arguments on both sides
and again requested that expression be
made showing the sentiment Of Rich
mond people. He declared ON many
questions a man must gain informa-
tion from q practical business man.

ton, sec Beverage says, gives par
cells post chance in q certain locality
and IL 1t proves successful then allow
It to continue, and IL the experiment
proves az its enemies say it will, detri-
mental to the business OF the COM
munity, then repeal the LAWS that 1t
will retard the growth of q commune
ty. He then declared that man never
wants to live in smaller or slower
town than the one he is living In at
present Mr.. Barnard declared that he
had no interests to protect in this mat
ter, nor did he have an AK to grind.
Post Savings Banks.
Post savings banks was then taken
UP by the speaker. Judge Taft, he de-
clared, favored the matter because 1t
was placed In the republican platform.
Judge Barnard declared that it was
his belief that the platform and its
contents should not always be fol
lowed too closely as platforms were
sometimes made to get in on" The
postal savings bank according to him,
was little heard of until after the cleo
ton Of Judge Taft. He said tn father
were no doubt many good points in
the subject which would prove benefi-
cial. The Carter bill which is pending
before congress Is the only one re-
terring to the postal savings banks
and It Is regarded with some favor.
Judge Barnard did not take q stand
against postal savings banks but did
most strenuously object to q provis-
ion Of the Carter bill which would
make savings deposited In postal saw
ings banks exempt from taxation. He
declared that such a law would breed
dishonesty and would be detrimental
to tho country hanks. Just before tax
alton time the deposits of the dishon-
estly inclined would be placed In the
government banks and the deposition
would not have to pay taxes.
Talks 81 His Career.
In speaking Of his career as legis-
tator he said that he would devote
himself to becoming acquainted with
his duties at frst. He also spoke Of
the net that the Indiana republican
congressman would no doubt stand to-
gether he and Crumpacker being the
only the delegation from this state.
