Washington, May 16.-Democratic
members of the ways and means COM
mittee of the house today undertook
the task of drafting bill revising the
wool schedule. The committee debat-
ed without attempting to reach a de-
cision whether the bill shall place raw
wool on the free list, or reduce the
tariff 80 per cent or more.
The paramount issue in revising
the schedule is revenue. To put raw
wool on the free list would cut off at
once $21, 900, 900, while the etire wool
schedule brings in more than $40, 00O,-
600 in duties.
By cutting the duty on raw wool to
5 or cents pound and making pro-
vision for sliding reduction annually
of cent, some Democrats figure the
importations would increase sufficient
ly to cause no disturbance in the rev.
enue.

GENERAL NEWS OF NATIONAL HAPPENINGS

Washington. May iS. Claiming
that the essence of ,hc proposed com
me,cial agreement between this coun-
try and Canada Ia reciprocity and
that such waa the understanding OF
those who framed IL Senator Root
today appeared before the senate
anance committee and suggested an
amendment 10 the house bill which
would prevent wood pulp and paper
from coming into the country free un-
IN Il was free from all provinces Of
Canada.
Senator Root argued that such an
amendment would not prevent the
agreement ny whole from becoming
effective. On the other hand, John
Norris, Of New York, representing
the American Newspaper Publishers
association, commenting on the pro-
posed amendment, said that its adop-
ton would be fatal to the agreement.
Senator Roots amendment was de-
signed TO make pulp and paper free on
both sides ut the same time, instead
of allowing the importation at once Of
free pulp and paper from these pro-
vinces in Canada in which there are
no restrictions regarding the exporta-
ton of those articles.
The bill now, he asserts, contains
no provision whatever for the free
admission of paper and wood pulp into
Canada.
His amendment would add to the
wood pulp and paper provision the
'tipualtion that Canada may have the
light to import those articles free
only when the President of the
United States shall have satisfactory
violence and shall make proclamation
hat such admission of wood pulp,
'aper and boards, being the product of
he United States, are admitted into
,anada free of duty"

Washington, May 10. - A new or
ator appeared in the ranks of the Re
publican minority in congress today.
The opening speech on the Arizona
New Mexico statehood resolution, a
distinction accorded to Frank B. Will
lis, freshman from Ohio, turned out
to be two hours running fire of re-
partee and fight with the Democratic
leaders.
In supporting the New Mexican
constitution as President Taft has ap-
proved it, Willis drew the fire of
Chairman Flood and half dozen
prominent Democrats. He was armed
with mass of constitutions and or
ganic acts of the various states and.
whenever new proposition was advo-
Gated, he would say: 1--WE got it
right here, while the Republican side
cheered and laughed.
Hamilton of Michigan, ex-chairman
of the territories committees.
urged the immediate approval of the
New Mexican constitution. The Re-
publican speakers condemned the recall
of Judges in the Arizona constitution
and approved the plan to force Arizona
to vote again on that feature, but they
declared no change should be made
In the New Mexican constitution.
