An extended speech by Senator Nc
Cumber favoring free lumber occupied
several hours in the Senate Friday.
His remarks provoked an extended con-
troversy among advocates of a tariff
on lumber. Mr.. McCumber said while
he was thorough protectionist, he
would not agree to tariff on prod
ucts such as coal, iron ore, lumber and
oil, that are being exhausted and can
not be replaced. Senator Aldrich re-
ported from the committee on finance
additional amendments to the tariff bin
and the Senate adopted motion made
by him that until further notice the
Senate shall meet at II o'clock daily.
AT 6;05 the Senate adjourned until IL
O'Clock Monday. The House was not

An extended defense of the lumber
duty provided in the Dingley bill was
made in the Senate Monday by Mr..
Piles of Washington. He was follow
ed by Senator Borah, who discussed
the income tax, declaring in favor not
only of its justice as a means Of rails
ing revenue, but in view of the divid-
ed opinion in the Supreme Court of
the United States, insisted also that it
was the duty of Congress again to sub
init the question of the constitution
ality of the tax to the court. 1t took
the House just twenty minutes to meet
and transact its business. In that
time, however the DIRECTORS got in
their work with telling effect. Mr..
Wanger of Pennsylvania again lost out
on his resolution of congratulation to
the Turkish people on the success of
the recent revolution, unanimous con-
sent being refused him; so did Mr..
Hay, of Virginia, who wanted lot of
information from the Civil Service
Commission regarding appointments,
dismissals and designations, A point
of order by Mr.. Payne of New York,
the majority leader, against the adop-
tion of a resolution to that end was
sustained by the speaker, and before
the subject could be pursued farther

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

An exhaustive treatment of the lum-
Der schedule of the tariff bin by Mr..
Simmons of North Carolina was the
feature OF the session of TIE Senate
Wednesday. Mr. Simmons spoke for
three and half hours in support of
the retention of the present tariff,
which, he maintained. was but a rev.
enue rate. Several times the national
Democratic platform of 1908. which de-
clared for free lumber, was injected
into the discussion by Republican SEN
ators. and Mr.. Bacon of Georgia re-
marked that he was not bound by
declarations written into platform at
midnight by a few interested men.
-
The entire time Of the Senate was
again Thursday given to the general
discussion of the tariff bin. Senator
Rayner of Maryland led off with a gen
eral denunciation of the protective sys-
tenn of the Republican party. and was
followed by Senator Nelson of Mime
sofa. who made an earnest plea for the
admission of lumber free of duty. His
assertions aroused a general discussion,
which was participated in by Senators
Hale, Warren, Carter. Clapp, Nc
Laurin, McCumber Elkins, Aldrich and
Gallinger. In an eleven-minute session
the House did not take up any of the
important business which will have to
be considered this session. Mr.. Wan
ger (Pa.) endeavored TO obtain the
adoption of resolution of good will
and friendliness for the people of Tur-
key and the new sovereign, but rs Mr..
