SENATOR FROM
IOWA ARISES TO DIFFER
WITH cUMMiNs.
OPPOSES COLLEAGUES PLAN
TO AMEND SENATE RULES
Admits That Tariff Revision 10 In Or
der But Does Not Agree That Ono
Schedule at q Time Should be Con.
sidered-Hits at the MiddIenan and
Takes Rap At cummins.


Of Iowa, made his maiden speech In the
senate today. While agreeing that
tariff revision is necessary, Young re-
fused to endorse Cummins' proposal to
amend the rules Of congress so as to
bring such q thing to pass. He called
on the republicans pledged to revision
to accomplish all they can by March l.
and then ito subside with their agita-
tion and give the country rest"
Young challenged any member to
state hts belief that the farmer was re-
ceiving too much for his products. He
declared It had heen intimated that the
middleman was getting too great q
share of the value Of farm products.
HE the Middlsman.
IT this is true" he demanded. "why
strike at the producer? Why not &c
after the middleman direct?" He then
cited the fact that when the tariff acts
put petroleum on the free list the re-
fineries reduced the price of crude oil
and continued the high price Of re-
fined oil to the consumer. He did not
want to see this performance repeated
in the case Of farm products.
Young urged acceptance Of the pres
ent tariff and If that could not be. to
transact business. He favored revision
OF the tariff in scientific way, as sug-
gested by the president.
Opposes Piecemeai Legislation.
Were revision to be started by at
tacking one schedule at time and pre-
venting amendment to that schedule
farm products would probably be the
first considered. Then the south. far
west and New England would unite In
the agricultural states and
the latter would be practically helpless
Because Of this possibility he hoped
Cummins' proposition would not be
adopted.
Rap at cumrnins.
IT am surprised also" he declared
"that my colleague. who has been fight
ing to unshackle the members Of the
house from the tyranny OF the rules
should undertake to bring the same
shackles into the senate. Yet my dis
tinguisned colleague seeks to make Il
for me to defend the only
products Of our home people"
Demanding to know who was dissat-
isfied with the tariff, the senator de-
clared the time had come to end the
tariff discussion. He agreed with
President Taft, he said. that the coun-
try needed a rest.
Cunmins congratulates Young.
Senator Cummins went over to his
colleague and shook hands with him
after his speech. congratulating him on
his first senate delivery. In the course
OF his speech Senator Young took sew
eral shots at the progressives and de-
clared they would have to come back
to their fathers house. His speech
thruout was a plea for high tariff and
was pleasing. to the high tariff SEN
ators, who gave him close attention.

auguration procedure, surely that one
is Diaz, for he has already served sew
en- times as president of Mexico and
is now to be sworn In for his eighth
term. He has been continuously in
this Office since his second election in
1884. He first became president in
1877, his term extending to 1880, when
he was succeeded by General Gonzales.
At that time the Mexican constitution
provided that no man could hold the
office Of president for two consecutive
terms, ana for that reason Diaz could
not stand for reelection.
Soon after the election of Gonzales,
however, 1t became evident that Diaz
was really the only man in the re-
public who had the undivided con-
hdence and support of all the people
of the country, and the constitution
was amended after his election i'm 1884
so as to provide for his continuance
In the Office for any number of terms,
Since then there has never been any
serious opposition to "Don Porfirio,"
as he is affectionately known among
the people of Mexico.
First and last Diaz Is seen to be a
patriot. To friend who asked him
when leaving Mexico If there was any,
thing he could do for him In the for
eign lands which he was about to WIS.,
1t the president replied:
"Yes; speak well of my country"
