Those in charge of the canvass to secure
the necessary number of signers nave de-
cided to defer completing the petitions now
in circulation asking for a special election
at which the people may vote upon the
commission plan of government in Council
Bluffs until the latter part OF January. Up
to date the people have not shown any
undue haste to sign the petitions and the
consequence is that they lack about two
thirds of the required number of names.
Advocates of the proposition say the lack
Of signatures is due to the fact that the
people generally have been so occupied with
business and pleasure during the holiday
season that they rave not had time to give
the matter the attention they otherwise
would.
1t is estimated hat the several petitions
which have been In circulation now for
several weeks have not received more than

SUGAR BEET GROWERS
FORM ORGANIZATION
TO KEEP UP TARIFF

WASHINGTON, April S.-Beet sugar
producers and the senators representing
beet sugar states at a conference to-
day formed an organization intended to
include the senators from cane sugar
states, the object of which will be to
safeguard the industry against the de-
velopment of the sugar industry in the
Philippines in competition with the
United States.
Protests were made against the pro-
vision in the Payne bill for the free
admission of 100000 gross tons of sugar
annually from the islands on the ground
that the provision does not prohibit
the admission of a much larger quanti-
ty on what would amount to a reduced
rate for the whole, by reason of the
shippers proportioning the free export
sugar so that each would receive a
benefit. In other words, 100000 tons
would come in at half the prescribed
rates, or 1000 900 tons with a reduction
of 20 per cent of the established rate
Beet sugar producers claim that in a
short time the industry in the Philip
pines would be developed to such an
extent that even such a reduction in the
rate would bring Unfair competition to
the industry in this country.
The sugar schedule was referred by
the senate finance committee to a sub
committee of Senators Burrows, Smoot
and Flint. They agreed to give the
senators from sugar producing states a
hearing late today.

VOTE OF HOUSE ON HIDES
WILL NOT INFLUENCE SENATE

WASHINGTON, April S.-The decis-
i've vote taken in the house which
placed hides on the free list is not to
influence the senate, according TO the
present intentions of senate leaders.
Senator Lodge has made deter
mined effort in the senate finance COM
mittee to place hides on the free list,
but thus far no action has been taken.
There is a we'll defined impression in
the senate that free hides do not mean
cheaper shoes, and therefore the argu-
ment thus far has been all against
placing hides on the free list.
The demands of the Florida senator's
for a duty of cents a pound on long
staple cotton in order to protect the
cotton industry have occasioned con-
siderable protests from the manufac-
turers of Egyptian cotton goods. 1t
was asserted that if this protection is
put in, the paragraph might be inter
preted to apply to the bulk of the cot
ton raised in Mississippi and Texas,
which is long staple compared with
the short staple cotton of other cotton
growing states.
Requests that cocoa leaves be made
dutiable at cents pound reached the
finance committee yesterday through
the manufacturers of cocaine. 1t is
asserted that cocoa leaves are now
being imported free and are used by
persons who have contracted the drug
habit.
It was asserted that free Importation
of cocoa leaves works an injustice to
importers of cocaine and opium for
medicinal purposes and at the same
time threatens the health and NOR
atty of persons addicted to the use OF
drugs.

TRADE Is ALLEGED
TO HAVE BEEN MADE
ON IRON ORE TARIFFS

WASHINGTON, April S.-The pres
ent intention of the senate committee
on finance is to place a duty of 20
cents per ton on iron ore.
Under the Dingley law iron ore is
dutiable at 40 cents per ton, while the
Payne bill puts it on the free list. The
decision of the senate committee is in
the nature of q compromise and was
brought about through the insistence
of Senator Burrows of Michigan and
his colleague, Senator William Alden
Smith,
Iron ore is one of the products which
have given the house and senate COM
mittee great deal of trouble. While
some of the ore producers admitted
frankly to the house committee that
they could stand their share of reduc-
ton if there was to be a general re-
vision of the tariff downward, few of
them were willing to admit that they
could stand free ore.
Until yesterday it practically was
conceded the senate committee would
agree to free ore. 1t is asserted that
a majority of the members of the
committee believe the industry would
not suffer materially if the duty were
taken off of iron ore entirely. 1t is
recognized, however, that in order to
get a tariff bin through congress

WESTERN SENATORS WANT
SENTIMENT ON FREE HIDES

WASHINGTON. April s.-Western
senators started a canvass of the SEN
ate today to determine the sentiment in
relation to putting hides on the free
list. If a majority of members are
found to favor free hides, as desired by
the house, the senate committee on
finance will accept this verdict.
By this method, it is argued, the long
debate will be avoided.
1t is the intention to discourage gen.
eral debate when the bill is reported to
the senate and to begin work at once
on the adoption of the committee
amendments.
The committee continued all day and
late tonight inserting rates in the bill,
and will be ready to report all but the
administrative features to the senate
next Monday.

Talks of Tariff Bill

WASHINGTON, April S.-Both the
house and the senate were in session
today. Just what the program in the
latter body will be was mere conject-
ure at the hour of converting, but it
was thought probably some announce
ment would be made regarding the day
when the finance committee would re-
port its tariff bill. The session was not
expected to last long. The house con-
tinued consideration of the Payne tariff
hin for amendment.
