)IL AND To-
BACCO TARIFF
hange Will Effect Standard Oil
Company

WASHINGTON. April This
was bad day for the republican or
CARNATIONS OF the house. BY CO.
alition between some republican in
surgents and the democrats the ways
and means committee was bowled
over and the advocates Of free crude
oil and its products won a signal vic
tory when an amendment by Mr.. Nor
rio, OF Nebraska. placing the insight
ficant duty OF per cent ad valorem
on those articles, was adopted by
substantial majority.
When the oil schedule was reached
Mr.. vreeland offered an amendment
striking out the countervailing duty
and fixing duty of % per cent ad
valorem.
Mr.. Morris, of Nebraska, moved a
substitute, providing for duty of /
per centad valorem. Against this Mr..
Dalzell made the point OF order that
as it would not be included in the
committee proposition it could not be
entertained.
The chair sustained the point but,
by a vote Of 162 to 174 on division,
the chair was overruled. Many re-
publicans voted with the democrats
against the chair. Tellers being or
dered the negative vote increased and
the vote stood 1876 to 1853.
Thus the entire petroleum sched-
ule was opened to amendment. The
result created much excitement.
A vigorous appeal was made by Mr..
Campbell, of Kansas for protection
for Independent oil producers who,
he said needed protection, while the
Standard company did not.
A bitter attack was made on the
Standard OIL company by Mr.. Coop
er, of Wisconsin in favoring the
amendment by Norris. Of Nebraska,
placing a duty of per cent on crude
petroleum and its products.
Cannon Pleads for Standard.
Seeing the wave of sentiment in
favor of the amendment, Speaker
Cannon took the floor and warned
the members to look out for the dan
gers ahead. He made a plea for the
American producer OF oil. The
amendment. he declared, was de-
signed 20 punish the wicked Standard
OIL company.

to punish somebody that you claim

amendment" he said. would let in
virtually free refined oil from Mexi-
co; and still that gentleman from
Wisconsin and others crow and clap
their wings and cruelty the people
while they act the demagogue in de-
nouncIng the wicked Standard Oil
company.
The house adopted both the Norris
and Vreeland amendments.
Tea and coffee were placed on the
free list. A colloquy at first humor-
Gus but later resulting in personali-
ties developed between Mr.. Stanley
of Kentucky. and Mr.. Clark, of Flor
ida. and was terminated only on an
objection by Mr.. crumpaeker. of Ind

OF the house.

DESTROYING Old Orchards.

Fruit Inspector Armstrong Is busy
inspecting orchards aud, thorgh a
trife oprty a. yet, he reports iadica
tions qen"rbly good for bumt 81
fruit crop.
There ire lew orchard owners who
may feel the penalty of the law requir-
ing disinfection OF orchards, though
the inspector flnds most orchardists
anxious to comply and do everything
in their power to promote and i'm
prove the industry.
Certain individuals assert to the
inspector that they will not spray
their orchards and that, since 1t
would cost them more to spray than
their fruit crops would be worth,
they cannot be compelled to spray.
Against such logic the inspector
reasons that such orchards are OF
very little consequence or value to
the owners any way, and If infecte d
they must not be allowed to remain a
menace to other orchards in their
vicinity. He has explained to several
that spraying in accordance with the
law must te done wherever there are
indications of infection. Failure to
comply with the law is punishable by

so that be may pipe water from his
hot miuersl spring iato town. The
distance is not great and the scheme
Is entirely feasible and Mr. Wills
should he given every possible aid and
indncement by our citizens, one and
all, in order that he may accomplish
bis purpose. The water could be
brought here in pipes practically az
hot as it comes from the ground and
it's mineral properties would be in no

in sight that will make Stevenson a

next six or seven years. By all means
do everything to help 1t along. -Stev-
