Of the profits from the countervailing
duty would cut the dividends a little.
There Is not an independent Oil con-
Germ In business I'm the United States
that could live one day without the
consent OF the Standard OIL The
Standard OIL never paid more for
crude oil than 1t was obliged TO.
No Danger From Mexico.
There is no danger from the Next
can oil wells to be feare1 by Ameri-
can producers. II we can get oil
cheaper from Mexico the people of
this country should have the benefit
of 1t.
II favor giving protection to the
iAmenican people against the extor-
ton of the Standard Oil and other
trusts. Let us regulate the Standard

sions.

the Standard Oil have succeeded in
convincing members of the ways and
means committee that the Joker must

from financial ruin"
Chairman Payne sat silent during
this attack on his bill, but Smith. of
California, and Wheeler, of Pennsyl-
vanda, went to the defense of the
countervaillng duty and claimed 1t TO
be in the interest of the independent
Irefineries.
Defends Wool Schedule.
Ralph Cole. of Ohio. treated the
house to a lengthy defense of the
wool schedules. giving exhibitions of
the various kinds and classes of
woolens affected. The clerks desks
were covered with fleece, fiannels and
wooden goods. and looked like a bar
gain counter in department store.
Pig Iron Schedule Right.
Mr.. Underwood said that he be-
lieved the pig iron schedules were as
near a revenue basis as they could be
made. The cost of production abroad.
the freight rates of s2.S5 and the
duty of $3.50 brought the total cost |
of imported pig iron to about the |
same price as the home product.
He declared. however. that schej- |
ules on round iron and steel wire |
were ridiculous, and that the tariff OF |
cent pound provided in the Payne |
bill Is as prohibitiye as that of L "A
cents in the Dingley law.
In the Senate.
n. L..
ate was in session only an hour and |
fifteen minutes and adjourned until
Monday. Practically all the time ex-
cept Is minutes was spent in execu- |
tive session and was devoted to thei
of bills, resolutions and |
memorials. Culberson insisted that
from the states be read
instead of being only printed. One
from North Dakota, asking for a re-
duction on the tariff. except on farm
products. seemingly pleased him
greatly.
The only action taken was the
passage OF a resolution allowing the
rotunda of the capitol to be used for

from the farm in Maryland to the
Arlington cemetery.
