Amend BlIl--PubIic Hearing On
Township Unit Bill.
From a star Correspondent.

LANSING, Mich, March 30.-
Speaker Baker stirred up a row In
the committee of the whole by NOV
ing to amend the liquor law by allow
ing the sale of liquor to Indians. The
discussion came up in the Martz-
Stevenson bill Baker said that In
dians in his county OF Charlevoix were
useful citizens and not deserving
treatment as undesirables. One full
blooded Indian, he said, was a su-
pervisor and a local optionist. Baker
revealed that Rep. Haviland Is partly
Indian. Rep. Sharp said the only
good Indians were dead ones. The
amendment failed.
The bill was still under considera-
ton at recess but Is expected to pass.
The liquor committee met this morn

had inspected the premises. He hur-
ried direct from the burned building
to the Offices of District Attorney

"This partition was gross viola

Saturday night was that girls who
were running for the elevators had
to fight their way through the narrow
doors in the partition" said Beers.
The little hall. outside, became clog

BY n. 3. r. BRIGGS.


WASHINGTON, March 30.--As one
OF the 10000, 900 Americans who win
pay the freight on Mr.. Taft's extra
session came to Washington for an
swers to these questions:
What is reciprocity
Will It get the votesy
II SO, what will 1t do to US?
They know almost everything In
Washington, SO got several different
answers to each question. The net
result seems to be this:
Congress, In extra session. VIII chop
some holes In our tariff wall on the
northern border-probably bigger
holes than President Taft now recon-
mends-but they may not be ell the
same holes.
1t depends upon what you mean by
reciprocity. Mr.. Taft's kind isn't reel
procity at all. according to Senator
Clapp, Of Minnesota, strong progress
awe who won't let his wheat farmers
be gouged II he can help It. Taft's
plan Is purely tariff measure, sacri-
icing the producer to the manufac-
turer, like the Payne-Aldrich bill, and
must be considered as such, he says.
That doesn't mean that Senator
Clapp is against what he calls reel
procity. Nor that other progressives
are against real reciprocity. Like
young Mr.. Twist. they want more--a
whole lot more--and they want fair
er balance for the farmer.
Nobody In Washington is wildly
waving his arms and voice for Taft
reciprocity" Even those who spoke
on IL in filibuster talks before the ex-
piring congress were thinking about
the lighting over things more vital to
them--direct elections, Lorfmer, tartn
board. Beveridge went on record a.
