WASHINGTON, July 16.-Eleven men are making the Payne tariff bill over; or. to be more accurate. three men are writing it. These three are President Taft, Senator Aldrich and Chairman Payne of the ways and means committee. Mir Taft is not a member of the conference, of course, but he will not have to go to the newspapers to find out what is going on behind the big closed doors of the conference room.
 Chairman Payne Is rated as one of the most thorough students of tariff in congress. Senator Aldrich has ap- piled his master mind to the subject for twenty-eight years.
 .rhe other eight republicans who have been selectei as conferrees will he useful to Messrs. Aldrich and
 Payne. incidentally they will be use

 Senator Aldrich's love for the "in' terests" extends over the whole coun' try. He is a protectionist, pure and simple, and whether it be the cod ' U5uSI -NtW I<h6lahu VI NAN NNN-N raiser of Montana, he is right there
 with the helping hand.
 | Senator Burrows of Michigan, the next senior senator, is of the same frame of mind when 1t comes to taI ifs, but a little more so on beet sugar and lumber than anything else 1 A Typical "stand-Pstter." Boise Penrose. the next senator, is I he iron and Sraal interests s and he championed the cause of the
 oil producers in their fight in the sen ate. He is from Pennsylvania, the cradle of protection. and as fine type of the genus "stand-patter" ht cannot be beaten.
 Next comes Eugene Hale, whose love for the American workingman i: a by-word in Maine and an echo 1T the winds of the senate. He is | friend of the paper manufacturer vel
 worth having on the conference board. He also thinks well of thu | starch manufacturing industry. Whef it comes to patriotism his slogan l!

 Of the democratic senators wh' nominally are a part of the confer ence, but who in reality will not ge i, look in until the job is done, tn senior is John w. Daniel of Virginia Senator Daniel is not the bitterest 10
 in the world of the protective tarii theory, but this democracy is Of tn i, eighteen-carat, three-ply variety.

 Democratic protectionist. Senator Joseph Weldon Bailey, jr - democrat on the conference. is tn s better known of the three. He b. : lieves in the policy of protection s a strongly that he recently whaled {, newspaper man over the head wit 2 an umbrella because of somethin r that was written about him. H c voice and his votes have rung out fe
 true democracy for the last thre
 months.
 On the house side of the confe
