OWENS ARA Ems
TART E MEASURE
Refuses to Vote 10 sldrich Bill on
Ground That It sixed to Pro
tect MOI soIies.

=
WASHINGTON, ne 15.-An ex-
haustive review Of the pending tariff
bill and a vigorous protest against the
practice Of veterans hazing new men,
bers were the chief points in the
speech delivered by Owens, Of Okla
homa, In the senate today. He refus-
ed to vote for the Aldrich bill and said
1t was because i. was a measure to
protect monopolies at the expense of
every class Of consumers. The bill
shouldn't pass, contrary to the will OF
the American people," he declared.
Both parties promised a reduction.
He criticized the finance committee to
furnish information on the cost OF pro-
duction in this country and abroad, re-
fusing to permit the Democrats to as
stst in framing the bill.
The Domination OF the senate led
to the practice of hazing the new mem.
bers, and treating their views as un.
worthy Of respectful notice. Nearly
every member who comes into the
senate Is made to feel he must moi
consider himself the peer of five
(Hale, Frye, Lodge, Aldrich and Gal,
linger) who control the senate in the
interest of New England" Owen said.
