Washington, Feb. 24.--Tarlff re-
vision plans OF the ways and means
committee of the next congress were
announced today by Representative
Underwood of Alabama who will head
that committee in the house.
Mr.. Underwood said that assuming
that there was to be an extra ses-
sion of congress the committee on the
democratic side of the house was
charged with the responsibility Of pre-
pairing tariff legislation and all that
the democrats asked between now and
December was provision for clerk,
statistician and q stenographic clerk
for the committee. The democrats,
he said, were not asking money for
an Independent investigation.
eve went into a very thorough In
vestigation of this tariff question
eighteen months ago." he said. "The
witnesses that appeared before the
committee then were impartially ex-
amined on both sides. The testimony
before us is only eighteen months old.
1--WE simply propose to take that
testimony and the statistics and evil
dence that was before you gentlemen
when you wrote the Payne tariff bill
and write a tariff bill in accordance
with our principles

DECISION MAKES NO
CHANGES IN RATES.

Washington. Feb. 24.-Officlals OF
the Interstate commerce commission
observed with keenest interest today
the results of aud comments upon the
decision In the rallroad rate cases.
Some doubt was expressed by those
In and about the commission who
have been most familiar with these
cases as to the railroads taking any
further action In the matter such as
appealing from the commissions de-
clsIon TO the newly inaugurated court
OF commerce.
The fact that the decision was
Unanimous IN all the cases was believ-
ed 10 Justify the opinion that the rail-
roads would prefer perhaps to make
n new application to the commission
ON new record OF testimony.
There was disposition at the Of
fices of the commission to comment
upon the fluctuations In the stock
markets as indicating mlsapprehen-
sion Of the scope and effect OF the
commission decisions. Stress was
laid upon the fact that no reductions
whatever In rates we're ordered by the
commission, that the rates remained
in the so-called official classification
territory as they have been for more
than twonty years
II was also pointed out that the
railway stocks affected most serious
is were those cf lines that In no re-
spect could be affected practically by
the decisions. None Of the far west
ern roads like the southern Pacific,
the Union Pacific. the Northern Pa
cific and the Great Northern was In
teresied IN other than sentimental
or sympathetic way in the rate cases.
Their rates were not touched.
one Of the commissioners, who
would not be quoted by name, said
"None of the lines west OF the Mis-
souri, river could be affected materi-
ally by our action In either the east-
ern or western case. Their rates, and
the rates Of all roads, are lust the
same today as they were Yesterday.

Washington. Feb. 24.-Opponents
of the Canadian reciprocity agreement
attempted to put quletus on legisla-
ton on the subject when the Mccall
bill late today was reported without
recommendation from the senate
committee on finance. So far as the
present session of congress is concern
ed. they took long step toward ac-
complishing their purpose.
The return of the bill to the senate
by Acting Chairman Burrows of the
finance committee, was made the oc-
cason for brief speeches both in op-
position and in favor of early action
AS only a few days remain to put the
bill through hostile body the speech
es against II were accepted as its
death knel until resurrection should
come in an extra session.
Senator Hale, who will retire on
March A. said the committee had
Yielded to public clamor and the
charge that the bill was to be sup
pressed, and had reported 1t against
the real sentiment Of large majority
of the committee.
He served notice that the bill
would have to go to the calendar to
take its course, and any effort on the
part of any one of whatever authori-
ty ito drive" the senate would be an
Iunwarranted assumption OF power.
Senator Bailey of Texas, demo-
cratic member of the committee. ex-
pressed the opinion that the best in
terests of the agriculturalists would
be served by the defeat Of the bill.
In pointing out some of the discrimi-
nations from his point o1 view the
Texas senator said that while the
agreement admitted wheat and cat
tie free. II retained the duty on flour
and beef meat.
"Civlized people eat flour and not
wheat, beef and not cattle he said
True II was he continued. that the
agreement provided for free wood
pulp. but this change in the tariff laws
would mean the loss of almost $500
900 of revenue to the treasury annu-
ally.
He had been informed. he said
| that this change would be worth S.
900, 900 to the newspaper and maya
zine publishers, but for himself he
could not consent TO measure which
gave such preference to the rich as
against the poor and needy.
Senator Hale concurred in all that
Mr.. Bailey said, and added that while
the bill had been reported without
recommendation the committe had
done so in face of the fact that an
unquestioned majority could otherwise
have been had for an adverse report
| Senator Stone of Missouri and mi
| norty member of the committee an
nounced his intention of supporting
the measure.
Senator Bailey said that while OPP
posed to the bill. he would not seek to
delay its passage.
The bill went on the calendar where
II is subject to consideration whenever
the senate may decide to take It up.

ACTION or PRESIDENT SHOWS
CHARGES HAVE FALLEN FLAT.

The foregoing telegram, received
last evening from New Mexico's dele
gate in congress, conclusively proves
that the baseless charges and specious
falsehoods brought to his ear by enc
mics of New Mexico have found no
encouragement whatever. 1t Is the
most unqualified endorsement that
New Mexico could possibly desire at
the hands of the president of the
United States.
President Taft's action once again
rcvives to the point of enthusiasm the
hopes of the people of New Mexico
for admission into the unlon at this
session OF congress. In view OF the
urgent request of the executive for
immediates action, there is little doubt
that congress will accede to his
wishes and add its final approval to
insure the immediate entry of New
Mexico into the union of states.
The news Of the presidents APP
proval will be received with the great
est enthusiasm throughout New Mex
leo this morning. 1t is believed that
the storm of protest against quibbling
over false charges and delaying ac-
ton. which has gone to Washington
from every county in New Mexico
during the past week has excrted a
moral pressure upon Washington
which has something to do with the
prompt action of the president II
has never been believed that Presi-
dent Taft would give any credence to
the ridiculous stories circulated at the
capital, and his strong endorsement
of the constitution as Il remarkably
fine document shows that he thor
oughly understands the situation and
appreciates the Intense desire OF the
whole people of New Mexico to have
the matter finally closed and state
hood assured.
