pwlaht,s Action SIGNIFICANT.

Significant action was taken by
Representative Dwight Of New York,
the Republican whip of the house,
when he ordered the Republican pair
clerks not to make up any more pairs
until approved by him. AS soon as
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama, the acting minority leader,
learned of this, he sent Representa-
tive Garner of Pennsylvania, acting
minority whip, to the Democratic pair
clerks to say that no more applica-
tions for pairs should be considered
unless submitted in writing and ap-
proved by him.
Sober consideration of their victory
over the house organization last Fri
day, with all that It means, while 1t
apparently has not resulted in max
ing any Of the dyed-in-the-wool insur-
dictionaries weaken in their position,
has brought to them at any rate more
serious appreciation of the gravity of
their position and the position Of
their party. The insurgents continue
to claim that the statement purport.
ing to have come from the Republi-
can congressional committee, but in
reality issued by two of its officers,
Chairman Mckinley and Secretary
Loudenslager, did not have the in
dorsement and approval OF President
Taft. Organization men around the
house end of the capitol are Just as
emphatic in their claim that Mr.. Taft
read their statement and that 1t was
issued with his full approval. But
even the most rabid insurgent, when
he contemplates the presidents pat
ronage declaration, this purported
congressional committee statement
and the consequences that may fol-
low nonparticipation In the Republi-
con caucus soon to be called to select
the majority members of the Balm
ger-Pinchot committee of investiga-
tion, finds food for thought. Most Of
the insurgents are wavering, appar-
emily, in one thing, judging from
their lack Of concerted decision as to
whether they would or would not at
tend this caucus. Indications from
expressions Of some of the leading
insurgents are that they will. On the
contrary, rather remarkably, Repre-
sentative Butler Ames of Massachu-
Betts, who is not an insurgent one
little BIT, although he may be q trihe
sore over disappointments, but who
voted against the organization, he
says, because Of his personal friend
ship for Mr.. Pinchot, declares he will
not attend the caucus. Altogether
the situation is delightfully."- mixed
up, but may straighten out before the
caucus Is called or meets.
There is no reason why the insur-
gents should not attend the Republi-
can caucus tonight, called to ratisy

duced by Senator Beatty. 1t Is also
expected that Governor Harmon will
address a special message to The leg
islature on the subject of high prices.
Visit Principal cities.
The committee will visit Cleveland,
Toledo. Dayton, Cincinnati and
Springfield in its endeavor to learn
the true inwardness of the conditions
now confronting the people Of the
state. While in Cleveland they will
investigate the system of wireless tel
egfaphy or mental telepathy by
which all the milk dealers recognize
the exact psychological moment to
raise the price of the lacteal fluid to
cents q quart In the fall and lower
II to cents In the spring. Also the
process by which ice dealers raise the
price on the same day In the spring.
In Toledo the price of milk will re-
ceive attention. Bread trusts are said
to exist In Springfield and Dayton,
and these Will come In FOR close IN
vestigation. In Cincinnati the fight

inquiry. In all parts Of the state the
workings of cold storage houses will
be gone into.
In Senator Beaty's mail was let
ter from a man at Sidney that recites
how one dealer has used Standard OIL
methods to crush competition among
dealers in food products till prices
there are forcing some people to go
hungry.
Still another from e. o. Bowerman,
an attorney of Springfield, urges that
all licensing power be taken away
from cities. Bowerman makes the
direct charge that in almost all In
stances hucksters' license ordi-
nances have been framed at the in.
stlgation of the dealers. He, tells
how the Springfield Retail Grocers'
association has served notice ON one
commission man that 1t will with
draw all trade from him IL he does
not stop selling to department store
that has been cutting prices on the
necessities Of life.
Wants People to Help.
Beatty wants every person In the
state who has anything In his system
on the subject to send In his testi-
mony or his suspicious. His theory
Is to get the evidence, then figure on
the remedy.
In the senate Governor Harmon's

of such officers, was read, and ON mo-

Indefinitely postponed.
Rathburn bill No. 1, amending the
Rathburn quadrennial appraisement

provide that vacancies on village

village assessors shall be not less
than $3.50 per day and not more than
$3.50 per month; gives county auditor

out the other day with u statement
