COMMITTEE REPORTS
TARIFF BILL BACK

n March 20.-The house
committee on ways and means agreed
| today. after the first meeting of the full
committee, to report the Payne tariu
bill back to the House without amend
ment. The democrats were given until
Tuesday to prepare the minority re-
port.
Mr.. Broussard, OF Louisiana, voted
TO report on the bill without amend
ment, but all the other democrats on
the committee voted against IL. me
vote was 13 to 6.
Immediately after the House con-
vened today Mr.. Payne reported back
the tariff bill without amendment; A
resolution providing for printing 30,oVV
copies Of 1t, $1,000 of which shall be In
document form, was adopted.
Gives the Reasons.
The report the bill. which
was presented by Mr.. Payne. Is made
up in the main of extracts from the
statemen. regarding the
which was yesterday given out by Mr..
Payne, but the Introductory portion or
Ii ia devoted to an explanation OF the
committees reasons for It's course.
Two principal reasons for the read
iustment OF the schedules are given:
The first Is that after the lapse OF IL
wears since the enactment OF the Ding
ley law, many new complications In
tariff have arisen, and 1t is stated that
the public demand has been confirmed
by Information received by the COM
| mittee since II began Its investigation.
In the second place. 1t Is stated that
since the Dingley bill went into effect
a large number of foreign countries
have adopted the tariffs with maxi
| mum and minimum rates, SO section 3
Of the present law is not regarded as
sufficiently broad to meet the changed
| condition. as these new foreign tariffs
force higher rates on a large part of
our exports.
The committee expresses the opinion
that the new bill Is SO constructed
that these conditions will be fully
I met. 1t la stated the bill proposes re-
duced rates on bulk imported articles.
No Easy Task.
The committee then undertakes to
give the idea of the important char
acter Of the work in which II has been
engaged. beginning with the statement
that the preparation of the bill has
been no easy task. Popular demand for
cutting rates is referred to n against
this is set republican policy pro-
lection Of American Industries and
American workmen against the differ
ence in cost OF production at home and
abroad.
The necessity for more revenue at
the present time is also discussed at
some length.

TAFT EULOCIzES
GROVER CLEVELAND
President Addresses Memorial
Meeting Held in New York
"A True American.

New York, March 20.-The life of the
late Grover Cleveland and It's influence
upon our national progress and mater
ial welfare was the theme OF the
speeches by President Taft, Chief jus
tice Fuller and other we'll known pub
honor of the late president at Carnegie
hall this afternoon.
Besides the address an original poem
wac read by Richard Watson Glider.
The musical features provided by Dam
rosch's orchestra, We're supplemented
by 100 voices Of the Liederkranx So
ciety.
President Taft's address was not
only an eulogy upon ex-President
Cleveland, but Ii incidentally referred
TO many public questions which were
dealt with during the Cleveland ad-
ministration. He said Mr.. Cleveland
was az completely American In his
character as Lincoln, The president
sketched Mr.. Cleveland's career az
mayor, governor and president. He
said the chief characteristics were his
simplicity and honesty, the courage of
his convictions. His sense OF public
duty had been exceeded by no states
man within the speakers knowledge.
II was 80 strong In him that he rarely
wrote anything, whether In form OF
private or public communication that
the obligation Of all men TO observe
the public interest was not his chief
theme.
indebted to Him.
In discussing Mr.. Clcveland's first adj
ministration, Taft said:
1--WE hear much In these days of
usurpation of legislation by the execu-
tive branch of the government. As long
as the Legislative branch has power OF
purse, the danger of the executive usur-
patton is imaginative. The real danger
arises from disposition OF the legisla-
tive branch to assume hat IL has ON
Impotence of parliament and may COM
pletely control discretion conferred
puon the executive by the consti-
tuticn. The country Is under obliga-
lions to Mr.. Cleveland for having
pointed out In his controversy with the
republican Senate during his first term
some of the limitations that there are
in the constitution upon attempted
legislative action to restrict the execu-
tive discretion
A True Patriot.
The president said in conclusion:
Grover Cleveland earned the sincere
gratitude of his countrymen, justified
the recurring memorial occasions like
one In which we are taking part. He
was a great president, not because he
was q great lawyer, not a he
was a brilliant orator, not because he
was a statesman Of profound learning,
but because he was a patriot with the
highest sense of public duty, because
he was a statesman Of clear percep-
lions. of the utmost courage of his con
victions, of great plainness of speech,
because he was a man Of the highest
character, a father and husband of the
best type, because throughout his po-
litical life he showed those rugged vir-
tues of public servant and citizen, the
emulation OF which by those who follow
him will render the progress of our po-
litical life toward better things a GER
tainty."

WINDMILL TRADE
GROWING LARGE
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN OIL
AND COAL ARE GONE
THEN The WORLD WILL LOOK
TO WIND AND WAITER.


o. SssTsya
In a volume written by R. S. Ball
and published by A. Constable & Co.,
London, Eng, it is stated that there
is a rapid extension and enormous
trade done in small windmflls.
These are used chiefly in the great
agricultural countries for pumping
purposes, and the attempt made to
utilize such motors for driving cleo
trical generators has not met with
any serious measure of success. 1t
would appear that wind-mOtOrs have
not yet been subjected to much tech
nical study.
The modern or American" wind
mill forms the subject Of the lasttwo
chapters. Many interesting construc-
tional details are given, as we'll as
particulars of tests on the power de-
veloped and the cost thereof when ap-
piled to different industrial purposes.
AS is natural, the author com
mences his book with reference to
the said to be not distant day when
all the coal and all the oil in the
world will have been used up, and
mankind, in order to sustain itself,
will have to rely wholly upon the wa
ter-wheel and the windmill for the
tremendous amount of energy which
viii be necessary to keep the immense
population OF the earth in the state Of

comfort to which it has, with the
progress of civilization, attained,
SAYS the San Francisco Examiner.
VIII the great manufacturers OF
England migrate from Lancashire
and Northumberland to Norway, Italy
and the west of Ireland, and those of
America cluster themselves about Mic
aragua, Or will, ere that day arrives,
all cotton mills and blast furnaces
be run by radium engines, utilizing
sources of energy which are at pres
emit wholly unexpected? Certainly,
nobody who has studied the develop
ment with the last few years Of radio
activity Will be unprepared, out OF
hand, to deny the possibility.
1t is rather surprising TO be told
that the demand for windmills was
never so great as it is today, or the
trade Of the manufacturer of such
motors ever so brisk On the other
hand, evidences Of the utilization OF
the water powers of the world are
everywhere abundant, the chief agent
in this being the development Of cleo
tTical technology.
