" Congress Fails to Respond.

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 17.-Deman nd
FOR the immediate creation by congress
of permanent tariff commission was
voiced today in resolutions adopted by
the national tariff commission confer
ence. To dispel any idea that delay
In tariff revision is sought, provis-
ion was added urging that congress
during its special session revise the
tariff to the best of It's ability under
present conditions,
The resolution, after demanding the
creation of a tariff commission, out
lines its work as follows:
"First-The collection and intelli-
gent and unprejudiced study of tariff
facts.
"Second-The development and en-
largement of our foreign trade.
"Third--The accomplishment of this
by reciprocal trade agreement. based
on maximum and minimum schedules
"Fourth-The adjustment Of the
tariff schedules so that they shall af-
feet all interests equally.
"Fffth-The fixing of the rates of
the duty to be paid on the imports
from any foreign country, within the
limits OF the maximum and minimum
rates established by congress, under
reciprocal trade agreements negotiated
by or under the direction of the presi-
dent in order thereby to develop and
protect our foreign trade by means
favored by President Mckinley and
authorized by section 8 and 4 of the
Dingely law"
1t was Beveridge day in the conyen-
ton, and the speech of the Indiana
senator stirred the delegates to much
enthusiasm. Comptroller Herman A.
Metz of New York declared the need
of tariff commission so great that II
an official one could not be soon pro-
cured. 1t would be wisdom for the
business men of the country to estab-
lish an unofficial one.
John NJ. Stahl, president of the
Farmers National congress, urged the
formation of commission.

STRONGLY OPPOSED
TO MEASURE
BITTER ROOT RESIDENTS TAKE
ACTION AGAINST SENATE IR.
RIGATION BILL NO. 10.
Special to The Daily Missoulian.

Special to The Daily Missoulian
Hamilton, Feb 17.-An error was
made in The Misoulian's report of the
mass meeting held here last night
the purpose of the meeting was the
discussion Of Senate Bill No. IS,
which is the old irrigation district
bill, in a modified form, and not the
paddle-wheel bill as was reported in
The Misoulan. The latter bill was
killed in the house yesterday.
The bill in question was introduced
by Senator Dolan and provides that
lands along a ditch may be bonded
for the construction of such ditch and
impose a tax upon such lands. The
Bitter Root people are uncompromis-
ingly opposed to the bill and there
was not a voice raised in it's defense
at the meeting last night. Represent
ative Crutchfield, who presided stat
ed that he considered the bill vicious
and confiscatory in it's provisions. 1t
is understood here that Senator Dolan
introduced the bill by request and
that it is not his own measure.
The mistake in The Missoulians re-
port arose from confusion in the
titles of the two irrigation bills. AS
matter of fact, the paddle wheel bill
was not discussed at all last night.
The meeting adopted resolutions con-
demning the bll-No. 1S-and infor-
nation was received here today by
telephone that the measure has been
amended at Helena. What the amend
ments are and how much they will re-
lieve the provisions of the original bill
is not known.

that the defendants would be entitled
to hearing in this city unless they
waived examination and decided to &c

tonight the World says in part:
This prosecution, if it succeeds, will
place every newspaper in the country
which circulates in Washington-and
there are few Of importance which do
not circulate there-completely at the
mercy of an autocratic, vainglorious
president who is willing to prostitute
his authority for the qualification of his
personal malice. Few newspapers
make large profits. Most of them could
be ruined financially by the legal ex-
pense of defending themselves hun
dreds of miles from the place Of publi-
cation and against the tremendous re-
sources of the United States govern
ment.
None Exempt.
Under this procedure there is
hardly an American newspaper who
would not be liable to criminal indict-
ment In Washington If his newspaper
printed something offensive to the
president even though the proprietor
might have been thousands Of miles
from his office at the time of such
publication and know nothing what
ever about it. There is hardly an edi-
tor or writer or reporter who would
not be similarly liable to indictment
at the whim Of a president. In addi-
ton to this, all of them would likewise
be liable to criminal indictment.
"Mr. Roosevelt Is now abusing his
great power as president to exploit
his political malice. These libel pro-
ceedings have no other object than to
enable Mr.. Roosevelt to employ the
machinery of the United States gov
ernment to satisfy his personel desire
for revenge.
We say this reluctantly, but we say
1t without qualification. because it is
true.
