BAILEY DECLARES FREE
TRADE IS IMPOSSIBLE
Texas Senator opens Debate on cum
eraIG Question Of Taxation--Pot-
ash Alum on Free List.

WASHINGTON. April 26.-Tle SEN
ate machinery was placed in order to-
day for the adoption OF the tariff bill
by paragraphs. According to the par
liamentary progress senators may
now call up any paragraph OF the DILL
heretofore considered but any para
graphs adopted from this time on will
stand unless reconsidered by unani-
nous consent OF the senate.
On motion OF Senator Aldricn, ny
drate OF alumnia In all It's forms was
reduced one-tenth OF cent. Potash
alum and ammonia alum, upon which
the committee had reported In favor
OF a tax OF one-halt cent per pound,
was placed on the free list.
.Thereupon Senator Bailey took the
floor to discuss his income tax amend
ment. In anticipation of his speech
there was record attendance IN the
galleries. Mrs. Taft, escorted by Capt
Archibald Butt, occupied seat in the
executive gallery. On the floor q num-
per of members OF the house came
over to hear the Texas orator.
At the outset Bailey discussed the
general question OF taxation. declaring
that free trade however desirable II
might be, was impossible to guaran-
tee profits by law. and as an injustice
to take from the many who labor for
the benefit of the few.
