TAFT TALKS RECIPROCITY
Says Pact With Canada Will Benefit
Entire United States,

Columbus, O., Feb. 11.-Reciprocity
With Canada will benefit the entire
United States, farmer, manufacturer,
railroad company, mfddleman. ware
houseman. This was the declaration
made by President Taft in an address
made here at the National Corn ex-
position. "All will be the gamer" he
said.
While his speech was devoted espe-
cially to showing that the farmer had
nothing to fear, but much to gain, he
attempted to prove also that all the
other interests of the country would
be benefited by the proposed reci-
procity.
I'VE have with pioneer energy
pushed on to the Pacific" the presi-
dent said, land taken up all the good
land. We are now spending millions
to reclaim the arid and semi-arid
lands of the great Western desert.
Should we not by taking down USE
less and unnecessary tariff wall, bring
within our agricultural resources the
great plains Of the Northwest when
they can bring us what we need and
that without hurting any of our own
DeoDle?"

MARGIN WILL Be SUBSTANTIAL
On Motion to Set Aside a Rule and
Take Up the Bill the Vote
Stood 1917 to 100.

Washington, Feb. IA test vote
taken in the house Of representatives
on the Mccall bill embodying the
terms of the Canadian agreement
demonstrated conclusively the meas
ure will be passed by that body by q
substantial majority. The plan of the
leaders Is to pass it before adjourn
ment and hurry it over to the senate.
Things are now looking up for Cana
dian reciprocity in the senate. While
1t is by no means certain the pact will
be concurred in by that body the out
look for favorable action there is more
promising now than it has been any
time since President Taft transmitted
his special message to congress on the
subject
The Mccall bill was taken up in the
house in the face of rule setting
aside the day for the consideration of
business affecting the affairs of the Dis.
trict of Columbia. It therefore became
necessary for the friends of Canadian
reciprocity to set aside the rule and
they did SO by a majority of 1877 to 120,
thus making it plain that. whatever
the fate of the agreement in the SEN
ate, the house intended to follow the
lead Of President Taft. Here again
1t would demonstrate that, without the
aid of the Democrats, the presidents
proposal would have gone down to de-
feat in the house.
Committee Reports Bill.
The house committee reported the
Mccall bill by a vote of IL to Z, six
Democrats joining with six Republic
ans In making the report, while six
Republicans voted adversely on the
proposition
In open house 101 Republican men,
bers voted against the motion provid-
ing for the immediate consideration
OF the Mccall bill. Nineteen Demo
Gratis sided against the bill on this
test vote. The motion was adopted by
the votes of 1874 Democrats, GO Re.
publicans.
The Republicans who voted In oppo-
sitions came from the agricultural
states of the Northwest and New
England, few from New York and
the border states and a number from
the Middle West.
Among the prominent Republicans
who took advantage of the occasion to
express their approval of reciprocity
as laid down by the president were
Dalzell Of Pennsylvania, Fordney OF
Michigan, Hull Of Iowa and Kiefer OF
, Ohio.
A further analysis of the vote shows
the Republicans who lined up against
Canadian reciprocity were men who
have been closely allied with the Can
non organization and the progressives
from the West. The progressives, al
most without exception, voted against
the motion to take up the Mccall bill

eighteen miles long. the Murchison
ten miles. the Cooley eight miles, the

seven miles Most of these glaciers
have moraines Of exceeding rough

not steep. as is usually the case with
European glaciers. The southern

are rare, and in many ways the noun.

those of central Europe.
