through one or more bills this winter
for the revision of individual schedules.
The wool schedule has been prominent
" mentioned in this connection It
has been reported that the President
would probably advise the overhauling
OF the wool schedule and submit to
Congress the findings of the tariff
board on that subject. The paper and
pulp schedule has also been discussed
as one on which the tariff board
might return its findings and which
would be taken up by Congress for re
vision
But it looks now as if. any action on
schedules would be reserved for the
Sixty-seeond Congress. President Taft
has not found the tariff board ready
to report on any of the schedules. 1t
might seem to the ordinary person
that the board has had plenty of time
to find out the facts in one or two Of
the important schedules by this time,
but be that as it may, 1t has not yet
done So The President VIII probably
be preeluded from submitting any find
ings Of the board until the session is
well advanced, and then it win be too
late to have revised any schedule
which VIII be a subject Of controversy.
And, of course, a schedule like the
wool schedule would provoke bitter
controversy.
So, with more or less dust kicked up
over tariff revision, it is likely the
whole issue viii go over until the
Democrats get into control of the
House. Then, with a Democratic
House and a Republican Senate, with
the Democrats themselves split into
opposing camps as to the tariff, and
with a Republican President r,edy to
veto a measure which does not suit
him, the chances are not numerous for
any revision

LORDS ATTEMPT TO ASSUME
THE OFFENSIVE.

England's house Of lords may be all
that It's liberal critics say it Is, so
far as its attitude on progressive Iegis-
latioR is concerned, but that it con
tains some adroit politicians, capable
OF making exceedingly difficult the
path of those who are seeking to cur
tail its power, must be admitted.
The lords have effected what ap-
pears from this distance to be a clever
political move by assuming, or trying

NO NEED FOR DEMOCRATS
TO WASTE TIME.

Even before we knew definitely how
much Of a majority the Democrats
would have in the next House OF Rep
resentatives, reactionary Republicans
and reactionary newspapers began TO
predict that when the present minority
party found itself in the majority,
with the responsibility for House or
ganization on its hands, It would get
into such wrangle that its first ses-
sion would be devoted largely to scrap
ping
It has been gossiped-even among
Democrats-that the House could not
choose its own committees, and that a
committee on committees could not
operate successfully because OF the
time required to consider either OF
these propositions.
From Tennessee comes an answer TO
this doleful prophecy. Judge Thetus
". Sims, who has just been reelected
in the Eighth district of the Volunteer
State, offers the following as a pre-
ventive5
We can be called together In caucus
on the first Monday in November, 1911,
and have q whole month IN which TO
organize and select the committees #
this is not sufficient time, We can meet
the first Monday in October, 1el1, and
have two months for this work Mem
bers of the Sixty-second Congress viii
receive their salaries from March i.
1911. and it viii be no hardship or ex-
penSe for the members 10 meet In wash
ington a month OF two II advance of
the next regular session on the first
Monday in December, 1911, and IN this
way have an abundance of time in
which to select in caucus all members
Of the standing committees Of the
House
This Is a suggestion to which the
Democratic leaders may well give
serious consideration. If they really
want TO inspire in the country the con
fdence which the country seems ready
to bestow upon them, they could do
no better than adopt Judge Sims idea
The wisdom Of taking from the
Speaker the power to appoint commit
tees Is so self-evident that little need
be said in advocacy of such course
If the Democrats fail to effect this
reform they may as vel resign them
selves to retirement from control Of
the House

When accosted on the train as Mrs.

to the country on the veto issue. This
was a strong position, and would I'M
doubtedly have returned the liberals
to power.
The lords, however, have not def
nitely rejected the veto bill. They
have merely not passed it. Instead
they have passed scheme of reform
for their own housespnd, in a measure,
put upon the liberals the responsibility
for its defeat. If the elections are held
as contemplated, the conservatives wiz
go to the country with an argument
something ike this;
eve are for reform of the house
of lords. We have offered plan OF
reform, but the liberals have refused
to consider it, and insist upon the
practical abolition of the upper cham
Der Do you want a one-house parIia-
mentG'
The liberals answer viii be that the
lords were given a chance to com
promise during the deliberations of the
veto conference, which came to naught ;
that they declined to accept any middle
ground then, and that now they put
forward their reform program as a
death-bed repentance.
Reports from England indicate that
the feeling against the lords aroused
by their persistent opposition to the
liberal program is so intense that they
cannot overcome it with an eleventh
hour conversion TO the demand for
their own reform. In spite Of the change
Of front by the lords, it is probable the
government VIII be indorsed by the
electorate. That the lords have gained
a momentary advantage by placing the
liberals on the defensive, however, is
apparent.

FEDERATION OF CITIZENS

When tie Federation Of Citizens
Associations was formed last spring
its promoters hoped it would be de-
velpped into an institution through
wl5eh the people OF the District could
express themselves effectively upon
bread issues affecting the interests OF
tie community as a whole. Doubt
as@tO the Praetieability Of the plan
was expressed IN some quarters, and
considerable opposition was expert
euced- Firm IN their conviction that
the federation was needed and that 1t
could be made effective, those behind
tie movement persisted in their or
gaRization efforts, and the society was
fOTned.
Today we have a striking ex-
ample of the fact that such an organ
ization is needed, and, further, that 1t
VII probably be able to accomplish its
theoretical Purpose-tbe presentation
Of@the opinion Of the community in
specific, concentrated form This ex-
ample is offered by the work the fed
Grafton Is doing toward obtaining for
the District a revision of the public
service corporation laws and the ere
alton of a public utilities commission
The federation has appointed q com
mIttee 70 prepare a public utilities
commission bill; the committee has
conferred with the President and with
the District Commissioners, and has
unanimously reached a decision which

that when Congress meets it viii find
