Taft Urged to Act Against
Germany
THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE,
1t Is Said, National Humiliation Case
Includes More Than Potash Situation.
Test Of Efficacy Of Tariff Law
Clause on Discrimination.

Washington, Dec 2l- Pressure upon
President Taft to impose the maximum
duties OF the Payne act upon dutiable
imports from Germany in retaliation for
the imperial export tax upon potash ex-
ports has been so strong and insistent
that the country may truly be said to
be nearer tariff war than ever before
1t can be said on high authority that
the proposition is being given very seFi-
GUS consideration" nor is the advice to
impose the surtax coming altogether
from high protectiouists. AS IL leading
Republican senator said yesterday morn
ing: "The law itself is on trial. W.
either must enforce it or we must aban-
don it and confess that it Is good for
nothing. If it cannot be invoked now,
when we have real grievance, how
about the next time? In what position
viii the United States be left before
the world If she fails to enforce law
enacted expressly to prevent just such
determinations as this?"
This doctrine, fully as much as the
intrinsic merits OF the potash case, is
the material factor in the present situa
ton. The cabinet has held one meeting
devoted exclusively to a discussion OF
the potash controversy, and the subject
can hardly be avoided at the meeting,
Ii Is definitely established that the law.
yers OF the administration and the tariff
experts have been compelled to construe
the German action as "unduly diserimi-
natory" within the meaning OF the Payne
law. The subject has been studied from
all points of view, and no other concur
sion can be reached The administration
is now confronted with the definite ques
tion whether or not to act, with the pos
sibility of disastrous tariff war on the
one side and of national humiliation on
the other The hint from the German
embassy that the possibilities OF diplo.
macy have been exhausted and the case
Is clearly in the field Of the executives
has not been lost upon the advisers OF
President Taft. To say that the situa-
tion Is acute Is to state mildly fact
OF enormous Importance to the country
In view Of recent developments, the chief
hope Of avoiding serious outcome would
appear to lie in the fact that the maxi
mum duties will not become operative
for ninety days after the issuance Of
the presidents proclamation Within
that time Germany would have time to
change her policy, should she desire.

Government

THE AGRICULTURISTS AID
Not Quite Ready for Free Trade with

THE AGRICULTURISTS AID

Ottawa, Dec 2l-Of all the petitions
which the Canadian farmers presented
10 the premier last week, that in favor
of a wide measure Of reciprocity with
the United States is the one that most
effectively has remained in the mind of
the government The reason is that the
ministry believes it represents the opin-
6on of all farmers, East and West. 1t is
not believed that eastern farmers as a
whole are really ready for direct taxa
ton, which 10 Inevitable if the govern
ment makes the rapid progress toward
free trade with England which the big
deputation asked. 1t is true thaat the
Ontario grangers supported the resolu-
tions which declared all Canadian farm
ers ready for direct taxation to meet the
deficiencies in revenue caused By tariff
reduction
The executive council of the Canadian
council of agriculture has come to close
quarters with Sir Wilfrid Laurier again.
First he met them with Sir Richard Cart
wright the minister of trade and COM
meree, to discuss their demands for gov.
eminent ownership of terminal elevators
on the great lakes. Then with Mr.. Sid
ney Fisher, minister OF agriculture, he
talked over their desire that the govern
ment establish abattoirs for the encour-
agement Of the chilled meat industry
The discussion was full and candid. Sir
Wilfrid makes no secret of his belief
that the western demands are too radical
for the East, which still is the most
populous end OF the dominion.
He is sure the inhabitants Of Quebec
and the farmers of rural Ontario are
not prepared for direct taxation As
to reciprocity, he was able to report
fair measure Of progress in exchanges
with the United States. As to the in
crease Of the tariff preference on Brit
ish goods, until free trade with the
mother land obtains in ten years, he will
find it necessary to consult with the
finance minister who will return from
the United States this week, but in any
event it is doubtful If anything can be
done so long as the difficulty Of direct
taxation looms in the path. The farmers
are full Of fight and are urging their case
with skill.

Complete Consideration--Com Is
Criticised for Coneealing Findings.
No Member Willing to Make
Minority Report.

Washington, Dee 2l-What may
prove formidable opposition to the adop,
ton Of any report to the Senate for the
exoneration Of Senator Lorimer as the
result Of the investigation of charges
OF bribery iii connection with his cleo
ton By the Illinois legislature to sue
coed Senator Hopkins is said to have
developed OH the Senate floor yesterday.
Several senators are declared to have
agreed that they would compel a post
ponement of the whole subject until
after the holiday recess, in order that
all members might have an opportunity
to digest the testimony, as well as the
report, Of the committee on privileges
and elections
Chairman Burrows called the commit
tee on privileges and elections together
yesterday and soon after the adjourn
ment il was reported that he had been
authorized to report the Lorimer matter
to the Senate in accordance with the
findings OF the subcommittee. Great dis
satisfaction ia said to have been ex-
pressed because of the failure of the
committee to have printed the findings
of the subcommittee. 1t is asserted that
there never has been an investigation in
which such diligent efforts have been
made to keep the proceedings secret,
According to authoritative information,
the subcommittee was unit in de.
elaring that there had been no evidence
that Senator Lorimer had been involved
in any manner in purchasing votes Of
individual members Of the legislature,
but there is some difference of opinion
as to what would have been the result
if all Of the votes against which there
was faint had been eliminated Senator
Frazier, however. has said that be did not
agree TO generation of the senator.
1t developed yesterday also that some
members Of the full committee believed
that the subcommittee should have re.
ported merely whether bribery had been
resorted to in the election in which Mr..
Lorimer was successful. and that the in.
structions given by the Senate in the
resolution authorizing the investigation
had not called for report Of exonera
tion for MIR Lorimer Regardless of
this fact, no one could be found who was
willing 70 bring in minority report
Senators Frazier and Hepburn, who we're /

Rose of Moline had ambitions that led
him towards the sheriff's Office. He

ator Landee swung the big stick and

might be said in passing that the gov
ernor some months ago rewarded the

in the county by appointing him one
of the commissioners of the Joliet pen
itentiary.
When all seemed to be peace, Clark
and Shallberg sprung their candidates..
Landee put it up to the doctor to get
Clark out Of the way and the doctor
reminded the senator of his duty with
reference to Shallberg. However, the
doctor can disclaim responsibility for
Clark, inasmuch as the latter is not
a resident of Rock Island county. His

The senator, too, has been placed
in the rather uncomfortable position
of being obliged, if he is politically
consistent, of going to the front for

of Moline. Now the question is will
the senator get cold feet on Bruner,
and if such a discovery is made what
will be the doctors next move. OF
course, the doctor, as the head of the
county organization, is enthusiastically
supporting Bruner.
