CONGRESS TAKES UP TARIFFS
With Reciprocity Out of the Way At
tenton viii Be Given Wool First.


Washington, July 24-The removal
of Canadian reciprocity from the con-
gressional stage has left things at the
capital in a decidedly mixed condi-
ton.
The senate launched into the wool
tariff fight today. 1t is anticipated that
the discussion will not stick closely to
wool, but will run the whole gamut
of tariff revision.
The house Democrats will caucus to.

their Endorsement, is expected to come

Is going to pass its cotton tariff meas
ure, but the fate of the wool bill in
the senate is still matter Of conjec
ture.
Democratic leaders in the house,
some of them at least, are still skep'
teal as to whether the senate will
pass any of the tariff bills now be-
fore it. They have tried to obtain some
definite information from senate lead.
ers as to what will be done, but little
is forthcoming. 33
The senate situation refuses to I'M
ravel Democrats want wool revis-
ION and so do the Republican insur'
gents, but they cannot agree on the
kind. The Democrats want to pass a
Democratic measure, II possible, but
aboev all they want to pass some kind
of a bill, in the hope of embarrassing
the president, who has characterized
the Payne-Aldrich wool tariff rates as
"indefensible."
If they cannot get their own bill
through the Democrats may support
the LaFollette insurgent Republican
bill. which was defeated Saturday as
an amendment to the reciprocity bill,
but which will came in again this week
as an independent measure. With
Democrats and insurgents united, the
LaFnllette bill might easily be passed

such gratifying numbers during the

WOOD AGAIN
AFTER LEGISLATURE

In its legislative report this morn

The Senate took another whack at
the utilities bill and got it into shape
for final passage. When it came up
this morning, Senator Frelinghuysen
withdrew his amendment offered last
evening, giving the Utilities Commits
sion authority to proceed by manda-
mus to enforce it's orders. Senator
Lewis offered an amendment provid-
ing for appeals from the orders of the
Commission, which brought a round
of protest, and was defeated by vote
of Is to l. The amendment is said
to have been urged by Walter Wood,
the millionaire iron founder and own
er of water and gas plants in various
parts of the State, and who has been
hard at work in the lobbies since the
sessin opened. The bill, in its amend
ed shape, is now scheduled for pass
age. AS the House passed the Egan
bill over a week ago, conference COM
mittees will have to be appointed, with
what result can hardly be prophe-
sized.

tie city inasmuch as the Millville
Water Company has never paid taxes
to5the city county or state.
TT is said that the Millville Water
Company will resist the appeal to the
extent of its resources This may
place the corporation upon a peculiar
footing. Should the corporation,
through, its management, fix the total
value of the plant to sum not ex-
ceeding $4,000. the Millville officials
will probably takessadyantage of the
present legislation and condemn the
plant and take it over as municipal
plant. This would be like finding a
lot of money for the city, as the city
would thus obtain for the public a
$225,OOO or $25O,OOO plant for about
$4,000.
The city officials are thoroughly in
earnest in this matter, and will show
to the people what the city of Mill
vile has lost by being in political
control of corporations in the past
years. Now the city is freed from this
corporate dominion, the people are
in earnest in preventing the affairs
of the municipality in going back in
the old ruts.
Millville is having some trouble in
diVOrcing big business from politics.
but it has made a good start.

WILL APPEAL
TAX DECISION
.Millv IL Wants Company
to Pay Taxes.
TO STATE BOARD.
Millville Council Will Garry County
Board Decision to Highest
Appeal.
(By Pioneer staff correspondent

tBy Pioneer staff correspondent J
Millviile, March 22.-The Finance
committee of the City Council has de-
. termined to appeal the decision of
the County Tax Board as it relates to
the Millville Water Company The fl
nance committee realizes that a gross
injustice has been done the city in
fixing the valuation upon the Mill
vile Water Companys plant, pipe
lines, water rights, and franchises at
$4,000. At the same time the County
Board made this assessment it fixed
valuation upon the Peoples Com
pany plant, a much less concern, at
$13l 900.
1t is manifest to everybody that the
County Tax Board is wrong in one
case or the other. Either the Peoples
Company is assessed much too high,
or the Millville Water Company is
much too low. In view of the finding
OF a board of commissioners fixing a
price of $225,O0O upon the Peoples
Water Cmpany, it is self evident that
the Millville Water Company's hold
lngs are valued much too low.
Council will at once determine,
through it's finance committee ap-
peal the assessment to the State Board
and have the assessment reviewed
The city officials are confident that the
state Board will practically double
the assessment which will accrue
very considerable more money to the
city treasurer than the assessment as
now fixed 1t will be a great gain to
