COMMITTEE TO KEEP
TARIFF SCHEDULES
IN SECRET
Senators VIII Not DivulQe
Any Information Until
the Bill Is
Ready
DEMOCRATS WILL
PREPARE A BILL
Minority viii Have Chance 10
Study the New Measure and
to Prepare a Report
for the Sen
ate.

Washington, March 22.-Emulatins
the ways and means committee of the
House, the Republican members of
the finance committee Of the Senate,
VIII take extraordinary precautions to
prevent the divulging of schedules
agreed upon for the new tariff bill un-
I'll sucn time as the bill has been per-
fected. In the few sessions OF the
committee that have been held rates
have not been discussed at all. The
business has been confined to ques-
uons of procedure, such as agreeing
upon the employment of certain ex-
perts in tariff making to aid in pre-
pairing bin.
All Of the Republican senators have
agreed that they will not discuss rates
outside of the committee room Fol-
lowing the usual custom the Demo-
cratic members of the finance COM
mittee. will not be consulted until tas
Pill mas bsen completed. = Thess Wtn
have an opportunity TO examine II
however, before the measure is re port
ed to the Senate. although this court
osy has not been shown In the past
and is contrary to the procedure oh
served by the House committee on
ways and means in connection with
the Payne bill. The Republican MEM
bers of the ways and means commit
tee completed their bill and il was in
troduced in the House before the
Democratic members of the commit
tee saw it. The first chance they had
to express themselves upon il occur
red in the committee after the bill.
had been referred and that opportun-
ity was extremely limited
The plan outlined by Senator AID
rich ana his Republican colleagues on
the finance committee is to take up
the bill and put it into shape and then
to call the fun committee together.
The Democrats then would have the
unhampered chance of submitting a
minority report to the Senate at the
same time the bill Is reported. The
minority members of the committee
will not assume any responsibility for
the measure if the ordinary custom Is
followed 1t is likely, however, that
they will take up the House tariff
bill and dissect IL and build a party
measure which would become an i'm
portant part of the minority report.
In maintaining secrecy on rates to
be recommended by the finance con-
mittee II has been decided not to in
corporate in the bill any figures until
the bill is completed There will be
prepared tables which will be kept
under under cover in the committee
rooms and not taken therefrom oy
any employees. AS a further means II
preventing disclosures concerning de,
tails of the oill the question of RITES
will be postponed until the phraseol-
ogy of the various principles to be in
Corporated in the measure have been
agreed upon. In other words. the
form of the bin will be perfected be-
fore an effort is made to agree upon
any of the several schedules over
which there is likely TO be conflict be-
tween the Senate and House.

Curry was in the Philippine Islands
at the time, serving as governor of
the Island of Samar, and was named
by the president, who selected him
without consulting any of the party
leaders in New Mexico.
He took office on August S. 1907.
Curry was entirely satisfactory to all
factions and although he assumed the
gubernatorial office at a time when
matters were in a chaotic state in the
territory, incident to the investiga
tions of alleged land and timber
frauds in the territory then under
way by special agents of the general
iend office and the interior depart
cent he soon restored harmony and
during his term as governor. territor-
ial affairs have been better adminis-
tered from the standpoint of har-
mony than for manv years.
Curry is popular with the mass and
storm of protest has already gone up
as result of his resignation. Tele-
grams from all over the territory
poured into the executive office today
calling upon him to reconsider his
resignation and continue as governor.
Though requested by many friends
to reconsider, the governor this af-
tcrnoon flatly refused
Il have acted" he said "and / will
not remain in office under any cir
cumStances.
\ determined effort will be made
by the party leaders not to allow the
appointment of some eastern man who
Will be unknown t. the people of the
ditions in New Mexico. They believe
that such a step would be bad foi
the harmonious conduct of territorial
affairs and that ii would further re-
tard the chances of early statehood.
They insist that there are plenty Of
good men and capable men in the
territory, and will insist that Govern
or Curry's successor be chosen from
among these.
1t is believed here that Governor
Curry's resignation will not be ac-
cepted Immediately. but that he will
be called to Washington to talk II
over with President Taft and Sccre-
tary Ballinger. If ne goes to Wash
irgton a delegation of citizens Will
probably accompany him to see that
justice is done the territory in the
appointment Of his successor.
The people of New Mexico will
hate to see Governor Curry quit of
flee. He was a Rough Rider during
the Spanish American war and 1t
was during that time that President
Roosevelt made his acquaintance.
Curry later went to the Philippines
and made a good record in military
service there and as governor Of
Samar.
When New Mexico needed a gov
ernor in 1907 to succeed the lament
Jed II. J, Hagerman, the president
thought Of Curry and his appoint
mcnt followed without lose of time.
Since then Curry has served the
people OF New Mexico faithfully and
well. During the time he has been in
office he has made ii point to see
that justice was meted out impartial
ly and that every community of the
territory. without regard 10 political
faith, was given its just dues. As
result OF his efficient, honest and
capable administration, the territory
curing the past two years has made
progress beyond the hopes of its best
friends
