Hon. Claude Aitchin VINO was
true to his party platform promise
in the G1st Congress has proved the
salt that saved his colleagues from
North Carolina, who violated their
party pledges, to good committee
positions in the 62nd Congress.
Because Of his party loyalty and
devotion to its principles and pledg-
es, he was given by his party eau
Gus position on the Ways and Means
Committee, and that Committee
was given the power to name the
committees formerly named by the
Speaker. He has succeeded In
placing his colleagues in good posi-
tions throughout and they should
exclaim glory be" that there was
one loyal Democrat among them
when they were seduced by the
lumber interests into adopting the
Republican fad Of protection Tor
home interests, under the guise Of a
tariff for revenue. Claude Kitchln

speedily important measures for
action. The definite outline, sub
iect to further caucus ratification,
lists as follows, the order OF leglsla-
ton to be pushed forward by the
WAYS and Means Committee as soon
as the House organization is COM
pleted:
Popular election of Senators.
Publicity before elections Of cam
paign contributions.
Statehood of Arizona and New
Mexico.
Canadian reciprocity.
Revision of Schedule K. the wool
schedule of the PayneAldrich tariff.
Revision of the cotton schedule.
Beyond this, the present program
does not extend, other tariff matters
and general subjects being left for
further consideration, dependent a
great deal upon time.
1t also practically has been decid-
ed that the Canadian reciprocity bill
to be brought forward by Chairman
Underwood, will be almost an exact
duplicate of the Mccall bill. 1t will
carry no tariff rider.
