Adjournment By July 1 Now Seems Absolutely Out of
 the Question
TAFT HOPEFUL ABOUT
 BILL IN PRESENT FORM
Income Tax Will Not Be Given Sup- port by the President Until 1t Is Shown That Sufficient Rev.
 enue Cannot Be Raised.

Washington, May 5.-The possibil- ties of the passage of the tariff bill and the adjournment of the special session of Congress before June 15 or July 1 seem to have vanished. This conclu- sion has been reached by the President as a result of recent talks with sena- tors and representatives and he made it known today. The Senate is not making the headway with the Aldrich measure that was expected and before the new tariff law can be presented to the President for his action, there must ensue a long conference between the representatives of the two houses Of Congress
 Among those who have followed the trend of complete legislation on the tariff, there is belief that the real tariff revision bill remains to be framed in conference. Whatever in- fiuence President Taft feels he can bring to bear in securing a satisfac- tory measure will be exerted upon the conference. The President is averse to being drawn into the fight at any stage and there is no thought that he will be until the conferees begin their consideration of the bills as passed by the House and Senate. In view of con- flieting reports as to the President S attitude on various special taxation propositions that have been suggested in connections with the new bill, the President has reiterated his position to recent callers. He is still hopeful that the revenue to be derived from the new bill and with economy in the admins tratfon of the government, will prove sufficient to prevent a deficit. If it shog be shown that the government f1n are n need of further support ia ] the current expenditures, the Pi 1t will adhere to his original pol that a graduated federal in her ce tax is the most just that cou be leveied and would prove the easi to collect. If such tax should not rove sufficient to meet the nee essit ss of the government, or if it should not appeal to the majority Of Congress the President favors as a sub stitute or as additional mems of collecting revenue, the imposition of an excise tax on the dividends of corpor- ations. An income tax, he believes, and always has believed, should be levied only as a last resort. The President has endeavored to make his position clear on these points and Is more amused than anything else at the att tempt of the advocates of the different measures to commit him absolutely to any one of the special tax propositions.

Reading of Tariff Bill Resumed.


 Washington, May 5-The reading of the tariff bill for the adoption of amend ments passed over when the measure was first read was resumed today, having been displaced since April 23 by speeches of senators who have discussed the tariff measures.
 On motion of Senator Aldrich the duty on blue vitriol, or sulphate of copper, was reduced from one-half to one-quarter of 1 cent per pound.
 Mir. Aldrich agreed that any amendment, whether it had been passed over or not, might be amended without the formalty of a motion to reconsider.
 MT. Culberson appealed to the chair for a vote on all amendments rather than to have them adopted by a statement Of the chair that without objection they would be considered adopted.
 The proposed increase of the duty on celluloid to the Dingley rate of 65 cents a pound and 20 per cent ad valorem, in- stead of 50 cents and 20 per cent as fixed in the House bill called out democratic objection and there followed a long dis cussion on the lower level of Japanese labor which produces most of the compeu- ton for the American cellulod, the high CT duties being retained
 Storm of Criticism. Amendments on lead ore and lead prod ucts from which paint Is manufactured. called forth a storm of criticism Sena- tor Bristow moved that the House pro- vision, of 27s cents per pound, instead of Bss cents per pound on orange mineral. as proposed by the committee be retained In the bill. this being the first of the com mittee's series of increases relating to lead that was reached MT. Bristow de- clared that this rate meant an increase on all the paint used by farmers and on a hv, son.
 MT. Aldrich replied that the increase only made the duty the same as that provided in the Dingey law.
 Mr Burkett said that such an explana- ton was not satisfactory to senators. .'The Dngley law may have been all right for the day in which it was made, he said but now we are making an other bill the reason for which is found in the changed conditions. Hence. I want to know more of the reasons for this change
 MT Aldrich replied that the duty amounted to about 75 or 100 per cent ad valorem, and added that it had always feen the policy of Congress to protect the lead industry, which was the leading industry of some states.
 Roll Call Is Begun.
 The regular order being called for on a demand by MT. Brlstow for an aye or nay vote, the roll call was begun. Mir Heyburn attempted to take the floor and the chair ruled that 1t was too late to interrupt the call. murmur of pro- test was heard i'll various parts of the chamber. Mir. Heyburn angrily announce Ing; "if ye start in that spirit there will be trouble.''

gross injustice that was being prac-
ticed upon us he made violent pro-
test. In a conversation with one of
the most prominent politicians of our
State l asked him the same question
put to you, viz: the difference be-
tween the Farmers Union and the
so-called Lumber Trust. His reply
was, There is probably five hun
dred saw-mill men and ffty-three
thousand farmers in Georgia"
When Mr.. Brantley was urging a
protective tariff on cotton, why did
you not belabor him and insinuate
he had sold or gone over to the Re-
publicans? Is it possible that the
fifty-three thousand farmers of the
State deferred you 1t was that cir
cumstance, Mr.. Watson, that prompt
ed me to ask that you be fair to our
Southern representatives. Hon. A.
o. Bacon, than whom there is none
ADLER in the Senate, delivered an
earnest and inspiring plea that JUS
tice be done the South and the in
dustries of the South, and instead of
commencing him you insert an edi-
torial asking the question: "Is Ba-

a blacklist of Democratic Congress-

and almost in the same issue went
into ecstacies over an opportunity
that the Democratic Senators had of
going into a combine with Cummins
and LaFOllette and other Republican
Senators and revising the tariff &C
cording to the notion of those Repub-
llcans. Did you always cast your
vote in accordance with the Demo-
cratic caucus when you were in Con-
gress? If it was right for you to
follow the dictates of your con-
science, why cannot the present
members exercise the same privi-
lege? ST
You ask if l am not now estopped
from complaining about the platform
adopted by the Democratic party at
Denver. I was not heard in the
making of that platform, as you were
not. I am not politician. But I
am a loyal friend and when I saw
you placing Mr.. Brantley in a false
light, in my feeble ability attempted
to defend him.
When you wrote your platform
last year why did you not in plain
language favor putting cotton on the
free list? And now answer this:

the assaults upon them made by the

tice is there in placing a heavy i'm
port duty on cotton ties and bagging,
which are manufactured in the
North, for the purpose of taxing the
Southern farmer and making the
cost of marketing his cotton a great
deal more, while Egyptian cotton
with ties and bagging around it, adj
mitted duty free? Using the same
illustration, why should the pro-
ducers of the South be heavily taxed
upon all articles they have to buy

produce in free trade market? Can
any industry survive under such
treatment?

I, like you, am a Free Trader

I am not a free trader for the South

least possible cost, reducing their
living expense to minimum Rev.

an Inheritance tax and stamp tax

Cd of raising revenue for the support
of the Government.
