Washington-The contest in the
house over the S$250.oO0 appropriation
contained in the sundry civic bill to
extend the scope OF the tariff board
has been much more stubborn than
had been anticipated. The Democrats
have opposed the item on the ground
that the results of the investigation of
the board should be reported direct
to Congress instead OF to the Presi-
dent.
The postal savings bank bill which
has been reported from the committee
on postoffices and post roads. is ready
for the Republican caucus on Wednes-
day. Practically all the Republicans
of the house signed the call. Many
western members believe the 47k per
cent. OF deposits which the bill is re-
ported would require to be kept
in local banks. is too small and that
the provision of the bill that passed
the Senate would be more effective

where collected. The westerners
charge that the bill as drafted is a

After reposing on the senate calen-
dar for many weeks the statehood bill
suddenly has been called to take an

factions together on the railroad bill.

satisfactory to President Taft. Many
