horses man fashion, but on account OF
a deformity this German bride was

mittees to the house are anticipated

The proceedings in the joint confer
ence were spirited and had consider
able feeling involved. They groped
about from one thing to another and
ended by rejecting all.
Representative Swift offered mo-
ton that in deciding the validity Of
ballots the committees be governed
strictly by the statute. Mr.. O'Conner
Of New hampton, asked why they
should do that when II the statute were
followed to the letter 1t would throw
out the ballots whereas the supreme
court had construed the statute quite
literally. He wanted to know il the
supreme courts construction OF the
statute were to be followed. Mr.. Swift
insisted on his motion remaining "the
statute" 1t was put to vote and lost.
Representative Marsten of Cerro Gordo
then made motion that all ballots
with cross, a cross within circle,
or a cross within a square before the
names of president or vice president or
both, should not invalidate the ballot
where it was otherwise properly
marked. This too, was voted down.
The committee then adjourned without
having accomplished a single step.
Representative Lee, Of Emmett, was OPP
posed to any rigid rule binding the
decision of the five committees, on the
ground that under the ruling OF the
supreme court the intention OF the
voter had to be taken into considera-
ton and that no fixed rule could gov
ern all the ballots, but that each would
have to be considered separately. After

but because of the lateness of the hour

House Ways and Means Com
mittee Will Not Consider
Proposition
WOULD uNsErrLE BUSINESS
Members of Committee Argue That
Trade Would Be Constantly Menaced
by Changes in Duties = Also That
Capital Would Hesitate to Invest in
Industries Affected.

Washington, Jan. 27.-There Is little
likelihood that the house ways and
means committee will consider any
proposition involving a tariff commits
sion. as suggested by President Elect
Taft Chairman Payne and other
members are known to be opposed to
a commission which would have power
to make rates, while some members
claim the commission for the purpose
of gathering inforation is unnecessary
in view of the numerous sources OF in
formation thru various government de-
partments.
The main argument advanced against
tariff commission which would have
the right to establish rates of duty, or
even recommend changes to the house
committee, is that the business inter-
ests of the country would be seriously
impaired by the constant uncertainty
on tariff rates which would result.
Furthermore, it is claimed that capi-
tai would not be invested so freely in
those industries which are affected by
foreign trade and competition.
