sideration in the nouss.2nd it's author,
Representative Mann, of Illinois, is
hopeful Of having the measure put in
final passage before the end of the

cess of congress have returned con-
vinced that the change in government
of the zone such as is proposed in the
Mann bill would be inadvisable.

law. These men did not consider that
he had gone far enough in his recon-
mendations. He discussed other pro-
positions with the men recognized as
insurgents. but found, In nearly every
case, that he could not count upon
their support.
Aldrich Grabs a Chance.
This situation has been taken a5iyan-
tage of by Senator Aldrich and the
other standpat leaders in the senate
and by Speaker Can.on and his satel-
lites in the house. They have come to
realize that, in the interest of their
continuance in power, they must work
with the president. This means that
they will give him the principles of
legislation for which he has contended
and will advocate. There is no doubt
that their attitude has been gratifying
to the president.
The hands of these leaders have been
further strengthened and the position
of the insurgents weakened by the re-
ports that the insurgents were attack
ing Mr.. Taft. Instances have been
cited where the newspapers controlled
by these men have been used to dis
credit the president. The question put
up to the administration consequently
has been:
Shall you support your friends or
give countenance to your enemies?"
This question was considered at great
length at a recent cabinet meeting. 1t
was decided that any man who failed
to support the administrations legis-
lative program would not be given
comfort in the way of appointments.
Thirty-four Insurgents in Congress.
There are twenty-seven insurgents
and near" insurgents in the house
of representatives and seven in the
senate.
The legislative program which viii
be adopted is the following:
Ample appropriation to paw theNex-
penses of the tariff board in connection
with it's investigation for the purpose
of recommending a scientific revision
of the tariff
Prompt confirmation of the nomina-
tions and the fixing of the salaries of
the customs court
The enactment of the Interstate
commerce regulations of the president.
The enactment of the conservation
recommendations made by Secretary
Ballinger.
National Incorporation for combina-
tions of capital and labor.
Postal savings banks.
Possibly a ship subsidy BILL
With such a program of legislation
the leaders in congress do not see how
the people can fail to indorse the or
ganization. AT the same time they fail
to take into account the purpose of the
people. especially In the middle west,
to scrutinize carefully every piece Of
legislation, and if it fail to come up to
their just expectations to display their
resentment. s

Decline to Join Central Body.

President Tucker, as chairman OF the

bers of that committee had discussed the
question of sending delegates from the

gested by the Chamber of Commerce. The
question. he said, was given very care
full consideration by the committee, the
discussion including similar efforts in the
past. All such efforts, he stated, had
been dismal failures. Following the dis
banding of the committee of 100, said
Mr. Tucker. the several associations were

In conclusion Mr.. Tucker said the COM
mittee decided to recommend that the
association decline to send a delegate to
the proposed central body. He said he
thought there might be q body Of some
kind to act as advisory counsel to the

would sometimes listen to such counsel

thought, might select such counsel.
