PREPARING FOR GENERAL
DEBATE ON TARIFF BILL,
Minority May Ask for Extension Of
Time from Thursday to Monday.

Washington, April 13.-Before the
senate meets on Thursday there will
be a session of the finance committee
to determine whether the majority
members will be rea1 20 take up gem
eral debate On the tariff bill that day.
From informal discussion of the bill
between republican and democratic
members the indications are the minor
ity will ask for an extension of the
time until Monday Of the next week.
IL they should do so their request will
be granted by the republican leaders.
Senator Aldrich will make a brief
statement to the senate when it meets
Thursday, in which he will explain
the absence Of revenue producing fea-
lures in the amendments to the house
bill already reported. He does not ex-
pect to occupy more than half an hour
in addressing the senate.
The message from the house asking
that the Payne bill be returned for a
correction of the petroleum schedule
will be received Thursday In view of
the fact that the bill had been referred
to the finance committee, amended and
reported back to the senato it is not
likely that the bill will be permitted to
go back to the house. Senate leaders
take the position that there is no ne
cessity for the return of the bill to
the house as the finance committee
intends to offer amendments on the
floor to the petroleum schedule which
will entirely efface the error which
crept into the bill at the time 1t was
passed by the house.
That portion of the bill to which the
words and its products" are to be
added by the clerk of the house have
been stricken out by the senate COM
mittee and it would be necessary for
the senate to amend the correction de-
sired bv the house. 1t is therefore
thought to be an unnecessary waste Of
time to return it.
In the house the statement that the
Aldrich amendments to the Payne bill
tend to increase the duties on luxuries
and reduce them on necessities is TAX
en- with a grain of salt. 1t is pointed
out by republican members of the ways
and means committee that the necessi-
ties which are reduced are spices and
cocoa, which the ways and means COM
mittee made dutiable for revenue pur-
poses. On the other hand, corn, wheat
barley rye and other agricultural prod
ucts many of which are used on the
breakfast table, have been greatly in
creased. While the increased duties
on cheap gloves and hosiery have been
taken off by the senate finance com
mittee the general opinion prevailing
in the house is that the amendment
to restore the Dingley rates is intend
ed partly at least for use in confer
ence.
Several other changes made b. the
senate committee are interpreted in

THE AUTHORITIES DISAGREE.

The experts disagree as to the value
Of trees in their relation to the rainfall
and that the benefits Of reforestration
Of denuded areas will produce a greater
rainfall is denied by no less an author
ity than Prof. Cleveland Able editor
of the United States Weather Bureaus
Monthly Review.
Professor Able says that forests will
grow on mountains wherever there is
sufficient soil, rainfall and heat, Just
as they will at sea level, but not other
wise. He adds:
The maximum annual rainfall that
can occur on this globe as whole is
determined by the maximum total an
nual evaporation that can be caused
by the SUMS heat acting on the ocean,
taken in connection with the maximum
vertical interchange of air currents,
since it is the cooling due to the latter
that produces clouds and rain"
While there is a necessity for re-
forestration, it is commercial rather
than climatic. There is great need
Of fuel and cheap lumber for build
ing operations and ever will be. and
this is why tree culture should be
taken up and encouraged by the state.

COMPLIMENTS TO MRS. TAFT.

The Boston papers are justified in
paying compliments to Mrs. Taft
whose preference for a summer home
has been respected by the president, so
that 1T has been decided that the Tafts
shall summer at Beverly cove, a point
on the coast about IS miles from Bos-
ton
The Boston Post says that TN es-
tablishing his personal court for the
season at Beverly cove, he has shown
discretion which will not be with
out its reward. He is on the right
side of the harbor, assured Of prevail
ing winds CT the most desirable tenn
perature, a genial sea and highly at
tractive surroundings. Moreover, he
will be very near Boston, which in it
self carries a spiritual uplift of no
mean consideration.
And there are golf links near at
hand. Those Of the Myopia club at
Hamilton are reported to be the finest
in the country. And Salem bay Is a
resort Of yachts and yachting parties
far famed on the New England coast
Mrs. Taft Is reported to have had
the deciding voice in the selection of
this summer home. She has displayed
a truly statesmanlike skill in the ball
ancing Of advantages"
1t would have been pleasing to Con-
nscticut had the reports been true
that the president had decided to make
his summer home in this state, but
we have no such rugged shores and
constant combers as Massachusetts,.
1t is agreeable TO all to have him in
New England.

Of men. This as a business PROPOSE

FLORIDA GOOD STATE TO LEAD

II the best councillors in the south
were recognized, how quickly the re-
lation Of the solid south to all other
parts Of the country would change.
The governor of Florida recently said
in a message to the legislature with
reference to making February u a
legal holiday in honor of Lincoln:
Tt IL recommended that February
IL, the anniversary Of the birth Of
Abraham Lincoln, be declared a legal
holiday.
Abraham Lincoln showed no ami
mus toward the south. He was correct
in the application of the principle, as
applied to slavery in the United
States: "A house divided against itself
cannot stand He would even have
sacrificed this conviction in order to
preserve the union. Many
veterans Of the union army and their
relatives and sympathizers have pur-
chased property in our state, and are
interested in the development of our
resources. Thousands of relatives Of
those who wore the blue are visitors
to our state. There is no other south
ern state which has better reasons for
taking the initiative in this matter
than Florida. Some have said let some
northern state first act toward recog-
MIXING some confederate chieftain
There is no northern state in which
one-tenth the reasons exist for such
action toward recognizing some con-
federate chieftain as there exists in
Florida for the action recommended.
Besides, Abraham Lincoln was presi-
dent Of the United States. AS such,
it was his duty to defend and pre-
serve the union. Had he lived, he I'M
doubtedly would have been in fact,
as well as IN name, the president of
the whole United States His untimely
death was a great blow to the South
land. and consequently to the United
States"
This Is horse-sense. Should the
south take the initiative in this direc-
ton there would be no chasm left
between the sections but all would be
level sailing
