Reciprocity and Tariff to BE Passed
Together.

Washington, d. c., April 6.-That
certain of the Senate Democrats will
make a strong effoffrt to hitch the re-
ciprocity agreement to a bill for tariff
revision is already developed. Some
thing may happen between now and
the time the Senate disposes of the
reciprocity agreement to prevent this,
but the tendency now is in that di-
rection. The talk is stronng for car
rying out plan to put up to Presi-
dent Taft for signature or veto a
measure which will comprise the Ca
madam reciprocity and tariff agree
ment. In opposition to this plan are
obstacles of Democratic nature One
is William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Bryan
is taking an active interest in the
Democratic program. He is advising
the Democrats in the House and the
Senate to pass the reciprocity agree
ment without attaching anything else
to it.

HOUSE ADOPTS
new RULES
POWER OF SPEAKER TO APPOINT
COMMITTEES TAKEN
OTHER RULES ADOPTED

Washington, D. c., April 6.-Both
houses of Congress listened yesterday
to President Taft's brief message urg.
ing the adoption of the reciprocity
agreement with Canada.
Then, with the Senate adjourned,
the Democratic House proceeded
further with its organization by adopt
ing number of rules
To great extent the new rules are
repetition of those that have been
handed down by many Congresses in
T the past. The Democrats claim that
their greatest reform is in taking
away from the Speaker his power to
appoint committees and to designate
the chairman of each committee. The
new rules provide for the election of
committees and their chairmen.
The second reform is, return to
the former Democratic practice of
permitting legislation on appropria-
ton bills when that legislation tends
to reduce expenditures of the govern
meRt.
The Democratic rules continue "cal-
endar Wednesday and the unanimous
consent calendar and seek to perfect
the rule for the discharge OF commit.
tees. The latter rule, the Democrats
declare, effectively does away with
the former practice OF stirling legis-
lation IN committees
A special order passed by the
Democrats and limiting debate on
the bills to four hours Immediately
brought ont a cry sof gag from the
Republicans.
The speeches, which followed were
all, more or less, of political nature.
and there was no serious fight on the
rules themselves. The Republicans
| claimed they were debarred from
| making such fight because Of the
further prevention Of the special or.
der that only one substitute set OF
rules could be offered by the minori
". :
| Not even roll call was demanded
by the Republicans on the adoption
of the rule.

Insurrectos Win In The Senate.


Washington, D. c., April 6-After
several secret conferences, in which
they agreed to act as a unit, the pro-
gressive Senators, Borah, Bourne,
Bristow, Brown, Clapp, Crawford,
Cummins, DIXON, Gronna, La Toilette,
Poindexter and Works, have forced
the old guard Republicans in the
Senate to accord them full recogni-
ton in all committee assignments.
The progressives insisted upon the
right to designate their own members
to such committee assignments as
they may select for them.
This approaches the revolutionary
in the Senate, but it has been accept
ed by the regulars.

FEW VESSELS
TO Be TAXED
State Revenue From Ton
mage Slight, Says
Matsor.

C. c. Matson of the state board Of
tax commissioners has returned to In
dianapolis from Gary, Indiana Harbor
and Chicago with the information that
the state need not expect very much
revenue from the tax on vessel tonnage.
While Mr.. Matson found about 40 boats
plying between Duluth, Mimi, and
Gary, carrying iron ore, he found they
were leased to the United Ctates Steel
Corporation by the Pittsburg Steamship
company and registered in Duluth.
Under the law, the boats can be taxed
only at the point of registration.
The United states treasury repre-
sentative in Chicago. the central point,
Tor that territory, refused to permit Mr.
Matson to examine the registrations at
that place. except on a special order
from the secretary of the treasury. He
explained It was a rule of the depart
ment which he must observe. Mr.. Mat
son viii seek such an order from the
secretary, with view OF determining
what boats are registered in the Indi-
ana cities on the lake. He found few
registered at Indiana Harbor, Gary and
Michigan City. but the total revenue
from them. at 8 cents net ton, will
not amount a grea deal. he said.
