WARREN DEFENDS
WOODEN SCHEDULE

Senator Warren of Wyoming, took the
floor soon after the Senate session
opened this morning for the purpose of
defending the Aldrich-woolen schedule
against the attacks made on it by SEN
ator DoIliver, of Iowa.
It was the contention of Senator War
rem that the wool growers and the man
ufacturers prospered or failed TO pros
per together. and that II was impossible
to strike at the duties on either the
raw wool or the manufacturers without
affecting both He declared that by no
means all Of the earded wooden men
were complaining, and that the round
robin read in the Senate yesterday from
the carded wooden people represented
but a small part of the carded wooden
manufacturers.
Sena tor Warren gave detailed statis-
tics 10 show the growth of the sheep
Industry and the manufactures of wool
under the tariffs which were sufficiently
high, and to show the decline Of both
Industries when the tariffs We're lowered
On either the raw wool of the manufac-
lures.
Following Senator Warren's speech a
vote was taken on paragraph 35S which
imposes the DlnEleV rate on various

imposed by vote of 40 TO 80. The
Republican insurgents who voted fUT
a lower duty were Senators BeEeridge.

This was the first test vote on the wool
en- schedule and made IL clear that
Senator DOlllVer would be defeated In
his fight for lower uWoOlen duties and
that the France Committee would be
upheld.
After the vote on this paragraph, Sen
ator Dollivcr took the floor 10 urge that
lower duties be imposed on shoddy than
are provided for by the Finance Com
mittee amendments.

put out, therefore, OF dropping the in
come tax and substituting a tax on the
net earnings of corporations. President
Taft some time ago was understood TO
incline in favor of this latter PROPOSE
ton, and the understanding is that
his attitude has not been changed
4 vigorous propaganda I'm favor of
the corporation tax is going on at pres
ent, backed by the argument that a
corporation tax would be a very Inn
portant accomplishment at this time
and that the income tax question could
be passed over until Mex session. me
partisans of income tax however. are
fearful that in the effort 10 drop one
and substitute the other, the Senatorial
leaders have a scheme to Kill both.
The proble moi President Tafts att
tude TO the tariff bin as a whole con-
tinues to be the absorbing theme III

sive Republicans said today that he mad

there wilt be a goO,t deal of talk about

House and Senate measures, and that

Kept From Conferees.
The great mass of matters on which
the Senate and the House are in agree
ment Will not go into the conference at
all unless some provision is made Civ
ing the conferees the authority to con-
slider matters on which the two houses
are in agreement This would be 50
remarkable as to be almost revolution
arg and no one seems to believe that
this is possible. The Senate leaders are
in a funk because OF the reports Of
President Tafts dissatisfa ction. 4
lumber of those who have been most
devoted in following Senator Aldrlch
have expressed themselves a good deal
displeased of late with the records they
wre making.
The question O fwhat President Taft
has actually been saying to people bear
ing on the possibility of veto is much
In controversy. Senator Aldrich, who
saw the President yesterday. has reas-
sured his associates by saying that the
President said nothing whatever TO
him which would indicate any dlssatis-
faction with the tendencies of the bill.
If the President has any notion OF
vetoing it he didn't convey that idea to
Mr. Aldrich.
