NO DELAY IS ANTICIPATED
PRESIDENT TAFT WITH THE AID

PRESSED CONGRESS WITH THE
NEED OF ACTION.
(8y Sheldon S. ciine.)

/
Washington, March 15.-President
Taft, backed by the newspapers and
business interests OF the country, has
finally got congress aroused to the
necessity of early completion of tariff
legislation. June l is the goal toward
which both senate and house have
resolved to work. and no member of
either body has yet indicated dis
position to unduly delay the progress
of the bill.
Much interest has been aroused by
the suggestion of Senator Scott OF
West Virginia that the senate begin
discussion of the tariff simultaneously
with the house. The constitution re-
|quires that tariff legislation shall orig.
mate in the house and the practice
has been for the senate to sit back
with folded hands until the house has
passed the bill and it has been con-
sidered by and reported out of the
senate finance committee, anywhere
from a month to two months of idle.
ness. Senator Scott has pointed out
that there is no constitutional reason
why some senator should not intro
duce resolution bearing on the tar.
iff. and that senators who had set tar.
iff speeches to make could deliver
them to this resolution.
All Have Speeches.
Most any kind of resolution touch
ing almost any phase of the science
of revenue tariffs would do to hang
the speeches on. The same plan could
be worked in the house. members with
set tariff speeches which they feel
they must get out of their systems
holding off until the bill has been
sent to the senate and then delivering
them to some resolution which would
be introduced for that specific pur.
pose.
There is no doubt that a great deal
of time could be saved in this way
and the senate and house leaders are
giving serious consideration to the
idea. II the bill Is ready for President
Taft's signature by the first Of June

Indianapolis, Ind. March 15.-Furth-
err proof that the brewers and saloon
people intend to remain in politics. in
spite of the awful licking that was
administered to them by the legisla-
ture at the session of 1907, the special
session of 1908 and the recent session
of 1909. was furnished in this city
Saturday when the democrats held
their convention for the election of a
city chairman. 1t was a clear well de-
fined fight between the LIQUOR forces
and the anti-liCuor forces and the
liquorites won. William F.. Moore
was elected city chairman. Moore is
on1 of the best known politicians in
the city and one Of the ablest of them
all. He has been in politics here for
years. At one time he was demo
cratic candidate for the nomination
for mayor but Tom Taggart would not
let him have the nomination and for
long time there was a soreness be-
tween Moore and Taggart. But now
that has all disappeared and Taggart
supported Moore for the chairman
ship. Moore has always been clean in
politics and is well known as a good
citizen in every way. but he has been
elected city chairman by the saloon
keepers and the brewers and this. I'M
doubtedly means that they will rule
the democratic campaign during the
coming months.
Mostly Saloon Keepers.
The convention Saturday was COM
posed largely of saloon keepers and
brewery henchmen. Many of them
had been elected members of the city
committee and were in the convention
in that capacity, while many others
sat along the side lines and watched
the proceedings.
Much money was used at the pri-
maries at which the precinct commit
teemen were elected. and it is said
that this money came from the brew
cries.
Now that the convention has been
held and Moore has been elected city
chairman there is definite talk about
Tom Taggart being the candidate for
mayor. Taggart represents the brew.
cries in politics. Everybody knows
this, and II he is elected mayor it will
mean brewery control of the city.
Taogart Can Get It.
Congressman Korbly of the seventh
district, who was nominated by Moore
to run against Jesse Overstreet and
who was elected by Taggart, said yes.
terday: IF Taggart will only wink
his eye or crook his finger in the city
convention he can have the nomin'
alton for mayor"
The closeness of the compact is
shown by the fact that In addition to
the fact that Moore nominated and
Taggart elected Korbly the latter has
| appointed Moore's son as his private
secretary. So Korbly, with the pres
tige of being congressman, is pref

Are After the state.
Since it has been determined that
the brewers are to seek to control In.

will also seek to control the state at
the next election. They refuse to
learn lesson. They will not keep
their noses out of politics. II they

Word comes from Fort Wayne that
the saloon keepers Of that city have
decided to "be good" and obey the

cause for years they have sought tc
control city politics SO as to be able
to violate the laws without fear oi

There never was such activity or

FOR fighting to save their business ane

the fact that they insist on keeping
