TARIFF FIGHT WILL
KEEP BOTH HOUSES
ON CONSTANT GUARD
Taft Adherents Line Up To
Prevent Vote Over Veto
Of Revision Bills.

The next few days will be marked
by rapid and, important developments
on the tariff. With the cotton revision
ILL passed by the House, that measure
is now up to the Senate to dispose Of
Insurgent leaders are trying to pass II
through the Senate, but regular Repub-
lican leaders say confidently it cannot
pass; that II will go to the Finance
Committee and will remain there until
next winter.
At 10 o'clock this morning the Senate
and House conferees met to consider
the wool bill Ii is believed a COM
promise that will about split the diff
ference between the House bill and the
La Toilette bill can be worked out Not
much delay is expected III agreeing on
either the wool bill or on the free list
bill. Representative Underwood asked
for q conference on the amendments
10 the free list bill except on cement
The House, at his request, added lem
uns 10 the free list
1t is hoped the wool bill and the free
list bill can be sent to the President
late Saturday. The veto message is ex-
pecteG to reach Congress Monday
When It does and when it becomes clear
that neither bill can be passed over the
veto, there will be a strong effort to
the session will end the latter part or
next week.
A furry has been caused among the
Republican leaders in both houses by
the report of the possibility that the
Democrats plus the insurgents will pass
the wool bill over the veto of the Presi-
dent 1t is said the Democratic lead
ers have been reconnoitering to find out
II this will be possible.
AS a preCauuon, the Republican lead
ers are calling all the absentees they
can get hold of back to Washington.
AS a matter of fact, there IS little
real prospect that the wool bill or the
free list bill can be passed over the
veto of the President. 1t is a close
question In the House. but not close
enough to cause much alarm to the
Republican leaders in the Senate. At
the same time, they are not going to be
caught mapping. Senator Guggenheim,
about to leave for New York asst night
TO sail for Europe Saturday, was noti-
fed by Senator PenrOse that 1t was ad-
visable for him to stay until the end
of the session.
The Senate vote on the wool hill was IS
10 80. 1t would require sixty votes to
pass this bill over the veto. The forty
Democrats, the thirteen insurgents, and
Senators MCCumber and Nelson would
make fifty-five. This would still leave
the friends of the bill five votes short.
No indication is given now that the ad-
ditional five can be mustered, but the
Republican leaders will be on the alert
for any defections.

Internal Revenue Tax
Is Record Breaker

The annual statement of the Bureau
OF Internal Revenue of the Treasury
Department, which will be issued in
few days, will show that the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1911, was a record break
er with regard to the collection of in
ternal revenue taxes. over S322, 900 900
was collected during this year, while in
1852, which was the banner year prior
to this, only 100000 was added to the
Treasury.
The general prosperity of the country
and the inauguration Of the corporation
tax are given as the reasons for the
growth of the taxes. Another significant
feature of the report will be the cheap
ness Of the collection. The cost per 81, 900
for the past years taxes was only a lit
tie over SIC, while in 1862 It was $24.60.

HUMOR AND DIVORCE

The divorce courts of the entire
country are hotbeds of hunor
even allowing that divorce is such
a serious matter as to be beyond
the pale of laughter. The funny
man has III g the changes of
evils results of the husband prais-
ing his mothers cooking, of the
praise offered to the many good
qualities of wife or hubby number
one; Of the wife bringing in the
dear ly beloved (?) mother-in law,
etc, etc. But it remained for San
Francisco to cap tie climax where
q husband gave as his reason for
leaving his recently welded
spouse the fact trat she insisted
upon his wearing the "nighties"
of hubby the first, and that she
bored him TO death by her talk of
the virtues. the beauty and the
many superior accomplishments of
his predecessor. When he rebel
led ngaint this resurrection Of a
hero dead, he declared, mis- wife
became peevish and made his life
a burden by constant threats of
suicide. Here is an incident Of
real life that throws down the
gauntlet to the humorists of the
world Bonanza.

The commissioners of Washoe

The commissioners of Washoe

Ormsby county will join Washoe

Carson to Reno and on to Lake
Tahoe. The county pays the state
81 per day for each man employed.
Washoe county's experiment will
doubtless be watched by the other
counties. If Washoe profits by
convict labor or its road, other
counties will fall in line and this
will reuslt in a systematic move

A good indication of the feeling
of optimism that prevails in Vir-
