CONGRESSIONAL DOINGS.

A formal report to the house from
the committee on expenditures in the
interior department dismisses from
congressional consideration the Con-

committees action was based on the

and Amos Pinchot, counsel for the
committee, and speech of Secretary
Of the Interior Fisher, which the com.
mittee regarded as voicing a change
in the administrations attitude to-
ward Alaska.
The Payne bill to create a perma-
nent tariff board was brought up in

session. = -....
A general attack on President Taft's
tariff board probably will be precipi-

penses of the board through the next
