REPUBLICANS
BADLY DIVIDED
SENATE UNABLE TO ELECT GAL
LINGER PRESIDENT PRO TEN
ON ACCOUNT OF THE IN
sURGENTS.
BY Associates Press.

Washington, May 11.-The incapacity
OF -thetRepublica11 to control the eau
Gus edict without the aid of the Pro-
gressiYes was demonstrated in the sem
ate today, when, after two hours effort
and seven ballots, the senate failed to
elect Gallinger, OF New Hampshire,
president pro tenn. The deadlock was
due to the opposition of the Pro-
gressives, five voting against and three
paired against GalIinger.
Upon the first ballot Bacon, of Geor-
gia, the Democratic candidate, re-
ceived 35 votes out of 73, the total of
Democrats casting their votes in sup
port of him. Thirty seven is neces-
sary for a choice, Gallinger received
80 and Clapp 4. The votes remained
practically unchanged during the ses-
sion.
The most serious point of order
raised was by Root, who contended
that all senators must vote when their
names were called. Bailey declared he
would rather be expelled from the sem
ate than break his pair. ultimately
the senate held their pair a valid ex-
cuse for not voting. During the bal
loting Stone, Bailey and other Demo-
Gratis contended a plurality should
elect. A decision in their favor would
have elected Bacon. The chair held
against 1t. An adjournment was taken
until Monday.

Georgia Man Opposing
the Forestry Measure

large amount of such claims, but ]
see no chance for them to be paid, but
the federal government should and
probably will in the coursel of time
refund this money. The revenue fea-
ture of the forestry bill prposed by
Senator Williams is very much of the
same character, and I don't think 1t
should be allowed to remain in the
bill, even If it is passed.
Another objectionable and ques-
tionable feature is that which places
the limit on trees to be boxed and cut.
This provision will interfere with ex-
listing contracts. The capitalists in the
east own the. timber and have sold or
leased the timber privileges to the
lurnbermen of the south. To make it
unlawful to cut trees under a certain
size, as the bill provides, would at
tack these contracts and would bring
on losses and lawsuits
Mr.. West is chairman of a standing
committee of the association he repre-
sents to look after such legislation
Senator Williams has said all along
that he will not insist upon any fea-
ture of the bill which would operate
unjustly to any interest: that he
wants a square fight and a perfect bill
but that the forestry measure is need
ed and will pass he has no doubt

Tallahassee, Fla, May Ill don't
know just exactly how much a year
the state of Georgia is saving under it's
uniform system Of text books, but it is
something like 100000 to a quarter of
a million a year." This statement was
made by Hon. w. s. West of Georgia,
who is in Tallahassee to appear before
the senate committee in opposition to
the Williams forestry bill.
Mr.. West was the authc~ of the state
uniformity bill which now obtains in
Georgia. 'T fought for it ten years be-
fore the legislature could be persuaded
to adopt it, but we finally put it
through, and # is one of the best
things that the Georgia legislature
ever did"
Mr. West was president Of the Geor-
gia senate for two terms, but his bill
has been in effect for about nine years.
He was in the legislature thirteen
years.
'I have never heard but one argu-
ment against school book uniformity, 50
said he, land that is paternalism.
Well, suppose it is. The entire school
system is paternalistic. You are taxed
to educate another mans child, for
example; let's make the system per-
feet, for that's the only way to handle
1t and get the benefits out of it for the
good of the people. Cheaper school
books for the great masses of boys and
girls whose parents are poor. for the
floating population, those who move
about from place to place, who are the
least able to afford changes which
they meet in going from one county to
another-these are one class of people
to be considered, besides the great
mass. always in the majority, who
must dig for a living TO whom the
burden OF existence should be light
ened as much as pcAsfbfe.
Mr.. West was reminded that the
anti -uniformity people claimed that
the proportion Of floating population
was not more than one per cent.
Which is perfect flubdub and non
sense" he said. 81 know more about
| this than almost anybody else, 1 be-
| lieve. I've been in the saw mill and
timber business and farming all my
| life and I know as every other man
knows who has been in such pursuits
that bring them in close touch with
| the working class that there is no per-
manency to their residence; they drift
from one point to another. and this is
not limited to the so-called laboring
class, either; it applies to a large per-
centage of people who are fairly well
| to do, but who are restless under con-
ditions ] am sure / don't understand
! how the county adoptionists arrive at
their conclusions as to the percentage
| but they are very far wrong-I know
that; and I know furthermore that
your Florida legislature will make a
great mistake If 1t does not adopt q
state uniform system.
