a New Yorker celebrated for his
many millions declares that the rich

have not such heavy responsibilities
TO worry them. Many other rich
men, perhaps mos, Of them, hold II,
their hearts somewhat the same opin-

exactly the opposite. TO the man
without money his responsibilities
appear heavy indeed, while thought
Of wealth Is like dream of glory.
This Is not a deep question. The
commonplace fact Is that nearly
everyone of Us Is more or less dissat-
istied with his lot, and jealousy
thinks the other fellow has the best
of It. In youth We long for maturity
and In maturity We yearn for the
happy days Of childhood again. Every
lean woman wishes she was fat
Every fat woman wants to bc lean.
Nearly every farmer looks forward to
the time when he can afford to quit
the farm and move to the town and
take life easy. Aud nearly every city
man longs for the time when he can
retire to the quiet Of the country.
There Is no part reason for It
all. except that We are just built that
way. All agree however that II Is a
blessing that the rich, when they die,
cannot take their money with them:
that II they did It would all he
burned up and owing to its scarcity
caused thereby interest rates would
be doubled.

"a REPUBLICANS VOTE WITH
DEMOCRATS FOR PASSAGE
OF MEASURE.
VOTE WAS 221 TO 100
BILL REDUCES TARIFF ON WOOL
AND MANUFAc-
TURES.
western Newspaper Union News Service.


Washington.-The House of Repre-
sentatives by a vote of 221 to 100
passed the Underwood wool tariff re-
vision bill providing for reduction
of duty on wool and manufactures of
wool.
Twenty-four Republicans voted with
the Democrats for the passage of the
measure and one Democrat, Repre-
sentative Francis of Ohio, voted
against it.
Many amendments were offered and
voted down, the only one adopted be-
ing a slight change in phraseology.
Immediately preceding the final
vote, a motion offered by Representa-
tive Payne of New York that the bill
be resubmitted to the ways and means
committee, with instructions that 1t
await a report from the tariff board
on the wooden industry before making
final report of the bill, was lost by
o vote of 1S9 to 11S.
Representative Underwood, chair
man Of the ways and meals commit
tee, and in charge of the wool tariff
bill, kept his forces well together in
their opposition to all amendments.
While some Democrats proposed
amendments, with one exception they
voted with the party when the bill
came to passage.
Representative Gray of Indiana Of
fered an amendment to place raw
wool on the free list, instead OF 20
per cent ad valorem, as the bill pro-
vides. and to recommit the bill to the
committee with instructions that man
ufactures be reduced to 20 per cent
ad valorem. This was lost.
His purpose in these amendments.
he stated, was to give to the Ameri-
can people protection from the wors-
ted trust by making free those arti-
cles which enter into the manufac-
ture of trust-controlled wooden prod
ucts."
After the bill had passed. message
was read from President Taft in re-
spopse to a request which had been
made for certain information from the
tariff board in regard to the woolen
question. The message stated that
the desired information could not be
furnished at this time.
In a special message President Taft
stated that the tariff board would not
be ready to submit a comprehensive
report on wooden and cotton schedules
OF the tariff law until December next.
The Presidents message was called
out by a House resolution requesting
him to transmit at once all of the
information procured by the tariff
board relating to wool and the manu-
factures of wool. Mr.. Taft included
in his message a statement from the
tariff board as to the status OF its in
quiry and also a statement by a COM
mittee of the national tariff commits
sion association which recently con-
Quoted an investigation of the meth
DDS of the tariff board.
In this statement the board said
that statistics compiled by it from
the latest available foreign and do
mestic sources covering the produc-
tion, distribution and consumption of
raw wool and wooden manufactures
had already been transmitted in re-
quest to the Ways and Means COM
mittee Of the House and used by 1t.
The board declares it is conducting an
inquiry which involves original re-
search work that is worldwide In its
scope.
