ARMED MEN GUARD
PAYNE TARIFF BILL
Great Secrecy Maintained
in Withholding Rough
Drafts From Public.

Where is 60 much secrecy being main
tanned about the preparation of the
PAYNE tariff bill as was maintained
about the issue OF bonds proposed by
Charles Foster, once Secretary of the
Treasury, and which were never en-
graved according TO authoritative infor-
nation today.
The rough drafts that were prepared
at the Government Printing Office for
the use OF the members Of the Commit
tee on Ways and Means were guarded
while in preparation by armed men. and
the type and plates used in their prep
aration were Immediately DESTROYED
Just enough drafts we're struck of for
the members Of the committee and the
clerk.

Chairman Payne asks each member il

Tumors that are flying thick about the
Capitol about the tariff schedules. and
not one OF the copies or the bin con
tanning the schedules that have been
tentatively decided upon has ever beeu
taken from the committee room. which
is under guard night and day.
The reason for all this secrecy fl i.
