Democrats to Take Up the Work Right After lo
 Holidays
SCHEDULE K AN
 IMPORTANT POINT
Proposed to Frame Tariff Bill Based on Difference in Cost of Produc-
 ton at Home and Abroad. Tariff for Revenue

Washington December 24-Repre- sentative Underwood yesterday outlined the democratic programme for the re- vision of the tariff which will be taken up immediately after the holidays At the same time the republicans will be- gin work on bill of their own, all though they cannot hope to pass 1t.
 The democrats of the ways and means committee will start work on schedule K as soon as we can check the report of the tariff board" said MT. Underwood.
 We propose to frame a tariff based at home and abroad and we are willing to take the tariff boards figures so far as they may be correct in our tariff making. Ours will be a tariff for rev. enue; based on this principle. Republic an protection make tariff for profit.
 q regard the tariff issue as para mount in this country today and we shall undertake in the next few months a revision of all the principal schedules of the high PayneAldrich law.
 If the democratic bill does not carry suulClelt pIOtOctiOu lloil thc iSpupiiS- an viewpoint, the President probably will veto it and the campaign of 1912 will be fought out on thet claims of a reasonably high protective tariff and a much lower tariff for revenue only Schedule K
 The opening battle probably will con- cern schedule K, long regarded as the citadel of protection. The democratic House proposes to revise the wool, cot ton, chemical, iron and steel and metal schedules. The tariff board has fur nished a mass of data on the wool schedule and will follow about January with a report on cotton. These re- ports will be additional sidelights on the general tariff controversy.
 Republican members of the ways and means committee contend that the tariff board report justifies protective tariff, even though it recommends material re- ductions in the Payne law rates.
 The insurgents Of the House VIII re- fuse to stand by their republican col leagues unless they propose bill that really makes substantial reductions, es- pecially in schedule K.
 There is no insurgency on thed em- ocratic side of the House. The demo- cratic rank and file will stand solidly behind any bill presented by the ma jority of the ways and means committee despite the fact that a few of the dem- ocrats personally favor raw woll

Shoot Announces Approval of Boards Report on the
 Wool Schedules
A HARD FIGHT ON
 AFTER HOLIDAYS
Republicans Busily Engaged Prepar- ing Wool Bill--Smoot Hopes Peo- pie Viii Accept Findings
 of Tariff Board

Washington, December 24-Congress is to have a surfeit of bills revising the woolen tariff schedules, and a hard fight for supremacy in the passage of such leg islation assured to begin immediately after the holiday recess
 Democratic members of the ways and means committee, under the direction of Representative Underwood, the chairman, already have begun the preparation of bill, the republican members of the com mittee also are preparing wool bill, end tonight Senator Shoot of Utah, a member of the finance committee, an nounced his approval of the tariff board 8 report on the wool schedules, and declared that he, too, would prepare a bill. T am pleased with the tariff boards report on schedule K said Senator Shoot, in announcing his purpose and hope that the findings of that board will be accept ed by the American people, coming as they do from a non-partisan board"
 Asserting that a wool bill can be pre- pared upon the facts submitted that will not interfere materially with the woolen industry under "the republican policy Of protection" Senator Shoot continued:
 Shoot Will Prepare Bill
 'I will prepare a bill in which the rates of duty imposed will equalize between the difference of the cost of producing wool and the manufacturer of wool in this country and foreign countries. based upon the tariff boards report.
 After an analysis of the report, Senator Smoot submitted for consideration of the public the following ideas as to the re- vision necessary in the woolen schedule.
 The report shows that fine and fine medium wools, which represent nearly so per cent of our domestic clip, cost to pro- duce from il to 12 cents per pound. The remaining 20 per cent being the coarser grades cost less. Austria and New Zea- land produce great quantities of wool that comes into competition with American fine and fine medium wools and costs net to produce, according to the boards re- port. nothing. as the profits from the sale of sheep of stocking pay in normal year the entire station expenses, leaving the fleece profit.
 Let US be more than liberal and allow cents pound to cover extraordinary losses that may be caused by calamtous drouths which happen, at long intervals, in Australia. We then find a difference of the net cost of production of fine and fine medium wools in this country and Australia and New Zealand, the American wool growers competitors, of 9 to 10 cents per pound.
 rThe report also shows that western fine woos shrink on an average of 6. per cent; Ohio fine wools, 50 per cent and the lower grade of wools an average of 45 per cent; while the national aver age is about 60 per cent. Imported woos now coming in Qargely slirted feece) shrink nearly 50 per cent Ii is generally conceded that the average shrinkage of Australian wools unskirted, would be 5s per cent or more.

The News is in receipt of a
circular letter from the Uncle
Sam Distilling Company, in
which the company offers to sell
us our liquors including whiskey,
brandy and beer at cut rates.
And further offers premiums of
extra quantities of liquid refresh
ments and jewelry, free of ex-
pense. And to still further pro-
tect our interests, the company
offers to ship the outfit in un-
marked packages so that none
may know what we are getting
We can see some logic in the ex-
ira premium, but why the un-
marked packages? Why, if we
used liquor at all, should we be
so careful that others should not
know the fact? Is there some
thing degrading about the use or
is it in the fact of its being ship
ped in and not purchased of home
delears, or both? We are not
ashamed to have our neighbors
know that we purchase groceries,
or clothing, or toys For our little
girls, Why should we be so care
full about buying liquor? Will
some one who uses it answer?

The principal case to come up

with the murder of Juan Peralta
on Sunday night, May 18th, 1911.
Readers Of the News will remem-

The murder was undoubtedly
premeditated in cold blood and
the plans we'll laid for the carry
ing of it out. The confession of
the guilty ones may save their
lives, but the atrociosness of the
crime calls for sevsrer punish
ment than life sentence in the
penitentiary. Whether the de-
PENDANTS will plead guilty to an
Indictment which will be re-
turned by the grand jury or
whether they viii have changed
their minds in this regard, re-
mains to be seen. For their own
it will prove the wiser
course to plead guilty.
The second case of Importance
to come up for trial will be the
territory vs.. Manuel Barela,
charged with the murder of his
father-in-law, Lazaro Lopez, at
Mountainair on the night of De-
cember Is, 1910, which case was
continued from last term of court.
This murder occurred following
a bale at which the participants
had imhibed rather freely. The
elder man objected to the youn-
ger living with his daughter,
never having been married by
the priest. The feud had con-
tinued for some time, reaching
its climax after the bale.
The term of court is not ex-
pected to be a long one on ac-
count of the lack of funds for
court purposes.

Santa Fe, N. M, Dec, g.
With the completioa of the can
vass of the vote in Dona Ana
county, the official canvassing
board completed it's sessions to-
day. No changes were made in
this county and the result stands
the same as shown in the unoffi-
cial returns, showing the election
of Herbert B, Holt, republican,
for the state senate, by a major
ity of two votes. The democra-
tic attorneys noted an exception
to the ruling of the board because
Of a discrepancy between the
tally sheet and the certificate as
returned by the judges of San
Augustine precinct. The board,
as in a number of similar cases,
accepted the tally sheet.
The canvass of the Celfax coun
ty returns was completed at che
morning session. In this county
the democratic candidates show
gain of "a votes over the unof.
fetal figures. The next county
taken up was Curry in which the
official canvass showed the unof-
fetal figures to be absolutely cor
rect.
So far as completed the official
canvass shows a gain for the
democratic candidates on the
state ticket of 66 votes. This
ratio of democratic gain, if con-
tinued, means the election of at
least two democratic members of
the supreme court, it insures the
election of the democratic can
didate, Alvan N, White for su-
perintendent of public instruction
and probably a number of other
candidates on this ticket.

TRUSTS BOSS
In GROOMING
SUGAR BEETS

Washington, D. c., Dec. T.
The house special committee in
vestigatiRE the so-called sugar
rust today heard testimony de-
signed to show that in some
states sugar beet culture is a
hot house, industry. James
Bodkin, of Meade, COL, represent
|lng farmers Of that sugar beet
territory. told Of the cheap for
|eiEn labor employed there.
The farmers who are attending
the committee session contend
ed that they are not given
reasonable profit on their sugar
beet crop and they want an in
crease in the price per ton
delivered to the sugar mills
Mr.. Bodkin told the committee
that the contracts between beet
farmers and sugar refners were
drawn to compel The farmer to
violate them as soon an beet crop
was planted. One stipulation,
he said, was that the farmer
nauat protact his beeta from sun
light and Frost
The only way to live up to
that would be to keep the beets
under my bed' said Mr.. Bodkin.
The witness under cross ex-
animation by Representative
Fordney declared that the farm
ers had difficulty in getting a
scientific test of their sugar beets
except by customers of the
Great Western Sugar company.
He said the company had such
influence with the Colorado agri-
cultural department that the
farmers could not get q private
test.
An Independent chemist in
Denver would net make the test,
he said, and Colorado university
at Boulder, refused because the
university president feared the
Great Western Sugar company
would hold down the appropria-
tions.
Mr.. Fcrdnsy said the witness
was evidently an enemy of the
Great Western Sugar company,
rstorted that the rep
resentative must be a friend Of
the sugar refinery and an enemy
Of the farmer. Mr.. Fordney
protested that he was a friend
Of the farmer.
The two glared at each other,
while Mr.. Fordney demanded to
know how the farmers had been
to appear.
