DESPITE PROTESTS FROM COM
MON PEOPLE THE COUNTRY
OVER, MEASURE GOES
Glove and Hosiery Schedule Wen
Through House Without Separate
Vote-Up to Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-(SpeciaD
Apparently seeing no warning in a
protest that is nation wide, the repub-
lican leaders have decided to carry out
their original intentions of jamming the
Payne bill through congress with its
most ubiquitous features intact. Tenn
porary concessions to public opinion by
allowing votes on oil and lumber and
few other articles in the house, will
be offset in the senate by the re-insert-
ing of schedules originally reported in
the Payne bill.
The program provided against vote
In the house on either glove or hosiery
schedules. This meant that even
though your representative in congress
did not believe the government should
levy additional heavy taxes on neces-
stiles. he had no opportunity to vote.
few men-less than half dozen
have secretly decided, without having
consulted the representative of your
ma rticular district or without him
knowing what they intended doing,
that the duty on certain articles should
he raised. These few men to all prac-
tical ends legislate for the entire house
of representatives on gloves and hos
ierv and all other articles on which they
will not allow the members to vote
The house leaders, for instance. ar
ranged schedules which provide that on
nair of stockings costing 10 cents In
GERMANY an IL cent tax shall be
levied at our ports. This schedule
! must go through with the bill. be-
cause the members cannot vote to
change it.
If the members Of the house were
given an opportunity to vote on the
| glove and hosiery schedules. 1T is con-
ceded even by Mr.. Cannon that the
| schedules providing for increased du-
| ties would not be tolerated. That Is
whv the leaders will not permit a vote
| peculiar feature of the situation
| is that the s 1-2 cent tax referred &c
will not come into the government cor
| fers. It will go exclusively to the big
manufacturers for this reason. The
l-2 cent tax is prohibitive Germany
| will not ship cheap gloves to the Unit
cd States because it cannot afford to
nav the heavy tax. This will give
| American manufacturers an opportun-
| itv to have a monopoly on the classes
of gloves and hosiery worn by the poor
and to boost the prices accordingly.
The house leaders appeared to bt
| willing to risk disaster at the comins
1 congressional elections by holding GU
i In favor of higher duties on gloves ant
hosiery. for the benefit of few manu-
i 70 cturers. The man who will beneh
most is Lucius N. Littauer. the Dlt
glove manufacturer who aided cannon
! in his fight for the speakersnip.

BIOGRAPHICAL CALENDAR
APRIL IL.

On this day, the year 1777, in Han
over county, Virginia, Henry Clay, the
famous orator and statesman, was
born. John Clay, his father, was
Baptist clergyman. His mother was
educated at the district school. After
the death of the Rev. John Clay, his
widow married Captain Henry Wat
kins, of Richmond, Virginia, who is
said to have been a good stepfather
to the boy. At an early age young
Henry became clerk in retail store
in Richmond. Later he secured posi-
ton as copist in the office of the court
of high chancery. Although a raw
boned, awkward youth, pleasant but
not handsome, and clothed in home
spun, he soon gained the respect of his
associates, for he was very clever
talker, and he devoted his hours OF
leisure to study and reading. His good
qualities attracted the attention of the
chancellor OF the court, who made him
his amanuensis, and thus he was for
four years on intimate terms with his
superior, who directed his readings
advised him to grammatical studies,

PAYNE BILL TO BE
TANNED THROUGH

Speaker Cannon and his friends
seemed to have felt that the repub-
lican party is perfectly secure, and
can not be dethroned no matter what
position they take on legislation. The
speaker and his friends have won out
in so many fights, they are, in the
words of Congressman Henry D. Raj
ney of Illinois. drunk with power
Not few of the republican mem
bers were opposed to advanced duties
on necessities. There is an element in
the party that believes that for the
sake of the republican party Of the fu-
ture if for not other reason, the Payne
bill should be altered in accordance
with popular demand. They are amaz-
ed at the length to which Cannon and
his fellow leaders are willing to go to
protect the profits Of the special inter-
ests. This class Of republicans unfor-
tunately are not strong enough to get
any material benefits for the public.
The party is dominated by few men.
They are cars in every sense of the
word. They permit the average mem
Der Of congress to distribute the politi-
cal patronage in his district and secure
occasional appropriations for a post
office or other public building or enter
prise in his home section. There the
benefits end.
The leaders deal with the big. legis-
lation as pleases them best. They do
not consult the average member. There
are a score of republican members in
the house of representatives that do not
even have speaking acquaintances with
the leaders. This situation is true of
some of the new members and such
leaders as Dalze1l and Cannon.
When legislation desired by the house
leaders comes up for vote any mem
Der has the privilege of refusing to
come through" with his vote. He
may do so at his peril. II he does as
sert a spirit of independence and vote
counter to the wishes of his lords and
masters his usefulness to his district
is at an end. Also, his days as a MEM
Der of the house are numbered. He
will be Immediately shut off from all
the little gratis" that might other
wise come his way. He will encounter
difficulty in having even $40 month
pension bill passed for needing and
deserving G. A. r. constituent. Meas
ures providing for appropriations for
postoffices or any other public sti-
tuition in his district will not he re-
ported from the appropriations COM
mittee, which is dominated by James A.
Tawney Of Minnesota and Walter l.
Smith of Iowa, both notorious tools OF
the speaker.
When it comes time for committee
assignments a "bolter' is more than
likely to find himself in a berth on the
committee on ventilation and accous-
tics, which meets once in every 10 or
Is years.
Therefore a congressman must pos
sess an unusually strong heart to run
counter to the Cannon clique. Some
times they run out" for while, but
life is made 50 unpleasant for them
that they are usually glad to return to
the fold, which insures them place
at the public crib.

Commercial Club VIII Take Up Matter With Light Cornpaniea This Af- tern0on--Other News of

Will Montgomery have "Great White way?"
 This question has been the subject of numbers of conversations since Secre- tary Hyman. of the Commercial Club. announced that he was formulating plans for the better illumination of Montgomery at night. Shortly after Mr. Hymans arrival in Montgomery he took this matter up with the City De- velopment Committee of the Club, who were greatly impressed with his plan.

Secretary Hyman has secured and prepared con siderable data on the subject which he will place before the meeting.
 By the Great White Way" idea Court Square and the two squares of Dexter Avenue up to Lawrence Street. will be illuminated by countless lights. Iron or steel poles will be erected every hun dred feet along the sidewalk. From each pole an arch will span the street from sidewalk to sidewalk. Each arch will carry eight or ton lights while at the top of each pole will be cluster of three large lights.
 For the purpose of interesting all the Montgomery business men in the com ing State Fair at vandiver Park a meeting of the local merchants has been called for o'clock tomorrow evening at the club rooms. Plans will be discussed whereby the visiting Ala bamians may be induced to remain in the city during the mornings of the fair so that the local merchants can de- rive some benefit by their sojourn in Montgomery.
 The board of directors of the club will hold meeting at 8 o'clock this evening at the club rooms. Regular routine business will be transacted and other matters, which have been hang ing over the club for some time. will be discussed.
 Tuesday evening comes the general membership meeting of the club mem- bers at the club rooms. Letters will be mailed out tomorrow calling the att tention of all the members to this meet ing.

 Secretary Hyman was in receipt of communication yesterday from busi- ness man in Lexington, Ky, stating that he would be in Montgomery Mon day for the purpose of looking around the city with a view of opening up large creamery in Montgomery. He stated that he would desire two floors and a basement near the center of town for the operation of his business.
