SENATECOM.

Chairman Aldrich Announces a
Summary Of Changes
PAYNE BILL RATES CUT
FINANCE COMMITTEE OF SENATE
LEAVES THE AGRICULTURAL
SCHEDULE PRACTICALLY UN-
CHANGED FROM EXISTING LAW
MANY REDUCTIONS

Washington. April 1.-THE senate
committee on finance with ali mem
bers present, met at 10 o'clock today
and Chairman Aldrich presented the
bill as amended by a majority of the
committee. Many Ef tlpe revenue
producing features will be reported
subsequently, as they are Intertwined
with the administrative features or
the measure which will be adopted
later.
Many Changes Proposed.
Senator Aldrich, when requested to
make a summary report OF the gen.
eral character Of the changes proposed
by the senate finance committee to
the house tariff bill, furnished the fol-
lowing statement:
'Tn the main the rates in the tariff
bin as reported from the senate
finance committee are lower tnan
those in the bill as it passed the
house, the actual number of reduc-
tions being about three times the
number on increases, showing the in
crease as having been largely rem
dered necessary to preserve the sym
etry Of the schedules.
Considerable numbers of articles in
common use have been taken from the
dutiable list of the house bill and re-
stored to the free list. A great mass
of the rates reported are below those
of the existing law.
Farmsrs' Demands Needed.
The agricultural schedule, Including
meat products, remains practically
unchanged from the existing law, but
where a reduction was made by the
house, the senate cor-mittee has re-
stored the Dingley rates in response
to the demands of the farmers through
out the country and of the republi-
cans Of the great agricultural coun-
try. a..
In the cotton schedule there has been
an extension OF SPECIFIC rates to cover
the class Of fancy goods and novel
ties which are covered In the existing
lay by the advalorem rates. The
resulting advelorem rates nave not
been increased. The average rates in
the cotton schedule and other rates
on fancies and novlties remain the
same.
The senate committee has not de-
cided what rate it will recommend in
regard to wood pulp and articles de-
pendent upon it. They have also
left open for further action the aues-
tion of duties on coal and hides.

DAkoTAN WANTS LIMIT. -.

Washington, April 12.-An effort to
limit the volume of special pension
legislation will be made by Senator
McCumber, chairman OF the commit
tee on pensions, before the adjourn
ment of the present extra session of
congress. Such legislature has
grown rapidly until during the last
congress about 5000 bills, the object
of most of which was to increase ex-
listing pensions, were passed.
During the present session, about l.
600 bills providing for pensions not
obtainable under the present laws
have been introduced in the senate
alone. McCumber believes it may
be possible to reach an agreement
by which the house and senate prac-
tically will pledge themselves that
they will pass given amount of pen
sion legislation in one session and no
more.

HAS NOT HAD ITS SHARE
NORTH DAkoTAN WHO HAS
TRAVELLED EXTENSIVELY SAYS
THAT SISTER STATES HAVE
MANY MORE FEDERAL BUILD
INGs THAN NORTH DAKOTA.

Washington, April 12-CompIaint is
heard from North Dakotans who have
travelled that the great north state
has not been provided for as hand
somely with federal buildings. post
offices and the like, as have some of
her sister states and the blame is be-
ing laid on the congressional delega-
ton.
c. l.. Zimmerman. a banker at Man
dan and man who has travelled ex-
tensively both in this country and
abroad, while in Washington recently,
called attention to the apparent dis
parity in the nature Of public build
ings In North Dakota ano It's sister
state to the south.
Investigated Conditions.
zone OF the FIRST things to impress
me during my travels in South Dakota
were the beautiful federal buildings
to be found in it's larger cities said
Mr.. Zimmerman, "and when l recall
ed our own barrenness in this re-
gard, was determined to investigate
d little these repugnant conditions.
1T is needless for me TO say" con-
tinued the Mandan man, that the pub
lic spirit of the many commercial or
ganizations were in a large measure
responsible for the presence OF these
imposing structures and added to this
the cooperation of a live congresslon-
al degelatfon, / think satisfactorily
explains everything"
What Mr.. Zimmerman has express
pressed in SO many words doubtless
has been shared I'm the minds Of
many North Dakotans.
Now that all is harmony once more
in the congressional delegation and
factionalism has been relegated to the
timber? Of lost things tht. nope for
concerted action and progressive cam
paign for the much needed improve
ments in North Dakota is universal
Hanna Wants Five.
Representative Hanna Of Fargo has
already taken step in the right di-
rection by introducing bills for the
erection of federal buildings at Will
liston, Valley City, jamestown, Man
dan and Dickinson at a cost of $780,
900 each. Each of these cities has a
population of 5000 or more and Mr..
Hanna Is of the opinion that the gov
ernment really would earn big interest
on the money SO invested. At Willis
ton and Dickinson there are land
offices in addition t. the postoffices.
and wherever such is the case Office
rent usually runs into the thousands.
In the event that an omnibus pub
lie buildings appropriation bill is pass
ed at the next regular session of con-
gress 1t is reasonably certain that
North Dakota viii receive at least
two new federal buildings or one each
by Representatives Hanna and Gronna-
Senators McCumber and Johnson OF
course will help things along in the
senate by causing either increased ap-
or adding much needed
third building.
