AlDR|CH IS BEHIND
REAL TARIFF BILL
Senator La Toilette, in Magazine,
Says Statesman Is Making Measure
For Special Interests.

MADISON. Wis. April 9.-"The
Boss and His Associates is the title
of an attack on United States Senator
Aldrich and his attitude towards the
tariff legislation In this weeks number
OF La Follette's weekly magazine to
be issued tomorrow. The article de-
clares that the real tariff bill' is not
the one being discussed IN the house,
but the one that is being worked out
by Aldrich In the senate. The article
continues:
Judging by the manner Of its
making the Aldrich tariff bill will be
worse bill and bigger bill for the
ultimate consumer than even the
Payne bill, which the house is to be
forced TO swallow merely as pre-
liminary dose OF tariff revision by the
system
This real tariff bill Is being wrought
out behind the closed mahogany doors
OF Boss Aldrich's sumptuous com.
mittee room. 1t is being done prac-
tically In secret by the boss and his
associates. They have the assistance
of some officials from the customs Of
fee in New York Also they have the
assistance of the lobbyists of such
special interests as are favored by thu
boss and his associates with an III
vitation to come to this committee
room and tell what they want In the
tariff.
mo. gentle reader, these are not
public hearings such as were held In
the house committee on ways and
means
1T is clear from remarks OF Boss.
Aldrich as they stand In the printed
gage OF the Record that what is said
and done behind those big, dark doors
Is not for us, the public. to know.
What transpires is strictly between
the boss and his associates and rep
resentatives OF the interests who ap-
pear and hold these private CONVEX
sations.'
"Of course he (Aldrich) is shocked
at the suggestion that tho minority
members be allowed to be present ana
TO determine for themselves what
would be valuable to them. You see,
this proceeding is a series of private
conversations. just such as you might
have with your mother upon the
tariff-only different"

A lot of British indignation has been
aroused by the recent death from eA-
posture of John Johns, aged 10, a vet
eran of the Crimean war and the IN
dian mutiny. His body was found on
. hack street at Loyland, Pembroke
shire. and the coroner found that cold
and insufficient food were responsible
for his demise.
Investigation disclosed that johns
drew a pension of one shilling a day.
tbe greater part Of which was required
for medicines. The newspapers IN
commenting ON the case, have pointed
that in the United States a soldier
with Johns record would not draw less
than five shillings a day pension and
that in addition he would have the
privilege of entering and remaining IN
a comfortable home, removed from
even the remotest possibility of want.
The case is of peculiar interest just
now when there is so much agitation
about the lack of recruits for the ser
vice. 1t is pointed out that II
"Tommy Atkinsv were assured against
the possibility of want in his old age
the government twould find much less
difficulty in getting recruits.
