HOUSE TO TAKE UP
RECIPROCITY BILL
Ways and Means Committee
Gets Measure Tomorrow.

The House Ways and Means Commit
tee will take up the question of Canad-
ian reciprocity tomorrow. At a meet
ing of the committee yesterday it was
decided to hear Secretary of State Knox
at 1870 o'clock tomorrow. Mr. Knox
will urge the committee to make an i'm
mediate favorable report on the bill. in
troduced by Representative Mccall, of
Massachusetts. On the same day the
committee will hear a delegation of fish
ermen from Gloucester, who will argue
against putting fish on the free list
At its meeting tomorrow, the COM
mittee will also determine how the meas
ure shall be brought into the House.
whether under a rule providing for a
limitation of debate. or not.
The outlook for the bill in the House
continues to be bright, but unless there
is considerable change in the Senate it
will not get through that body at this
session. The President is working
quietly, with a view to getting action
before March 4. A special session to
consider this subject is still a possibility,
but the chances that the President will
take such action are remote.
Col. Lafayette Young, of Iowa. who now
represents Iowa in the Senate, and who
is candidate for reelection, is against
the proposed agreement. He called at the
White House yesterday and went SO far
as to say that the West might be lost to
the Republican party if the agreement is
ratified by Congress. In the colonels
opinion. President Tafts candidacy for
reelection would suffer immensely.
Iowa is solidly against the trade agree
ment,' said Col. Young.
The Iowa Senator. laughed at the plight
in which he believes his colleague, Sem
ator Cummins. now finds himself.
II told Cummins,'' said Senator Young,
that IL he voted for this agreement he
had better go back to Des Moines by way
of Sioux City. He won't be popular there"

SENATE DEFEATS PoPpTsg
VOTE.

The resolution providing for the
election Of the United States sena.
tors by the people has been defeat
ed in the upper house of congress.
This action is not surprising. The
fact that the matter was even
brought to a vote Is encouraging to
those who are backing the proposed
change. 1t is evident that the senate
is yielding to the desire OF the peo-
pie and the strong hold, which the
Interests have had upon it, is be-
ing gradually broken.
The vote by which the resolution
was defeated in the senate yesterday
is significant. 1t shows that a ma
jority of the senate are in favor of
the direct election. The majority,
however, is not sufficient, a two
tuiio fotc vi INC SeHdto poihB hSSco-
sary and therefore, the resolution
was lost.
Many senators who have been
classed as regulars are found voting
in fafor of the resolution, 1t is evil
dent that these men are beginning to
appreciate the sentiment at home
and, as much as they personally
would like to oppose this resolution,
they find it unsafe to do so.
The matter of an amendment to
the constitution, providing for the
direct election of senators will be
dropped for the time being, but the
| agitation in the states for a law pro-
yiding for an expression lat the pri-
mary, such as New Jersey had last
fall, will continue. At least, the
senate has been made to recognize
this great popular demand and there
Is every reason to believe that the
next time 1t is brought before that
body there will be a sufficient num-
Der in favor of It to carry 1t over the
t~wo-thlrds, which is required for its
passage.

THE r. BILL.

What, perhaps, may be called the
most important bill before the leg.
i~slature at the present session, Is the
measure which bears the name OF
Assemblyman Geran, of Monmouth
county. This bill provides for a
! complete change In the method OF
| elections and party management. 1t
Is known as an administration meas
ure, having the backing of Governor
Wilson, as fulfilling one of the prom
ises made by the party naits plat
form, last fall.
1t Is impossible to have such a
bill suit everybody. It is significant,
However,. That those who are most
strongly opposed to It are the party
bosses and the machine leaders. who
will find themselves utterly power
less If the bill becomes q law.
-'rTEH 5
There are a great many excellent
features in this measure, and a few
have called forth some criticism on
the part OF those who are earnestly
DESTROYS Of reform along this line.
We believe the good features of the
hin for o,1fpurnhar tha nh4aofiaoahJa
ones and that were 1t adopted, as it
now stands, 1t would be a decided
improvement over existing condi-
tions.
Governor Wilson and all his col
leagues who are endeavoring to car
ry out the party platform, are
working hard with the measure
weighing carefully all the criticisms
that are brought against 1t, and 1t Ii
likely that before 1t is passed some
changes will be made that will ma
terially strengthen it.
The bill puts the whole legislative
machinery, control of party and
management OF the polls, directly In
to the hands of the people. For this
reason ii Is to be hoped that 1t passes
at this session of the legislature.
strength back of 1t and insists that
party pledges be carried out. Know
ing the governors ability to lay the
peoples cause before the voters, II
is hardly likely that legislators, who
desire to keep in popular favor, will
be found voting against it when the
final lineup is taken.
