THE STOCK MARKET
Watson. Alpers & Col

We may credit the stock market with good conduct under some trying circumstances of late. But no signs stick out pointing to the renewal of a pronounced tendency to prices or the reawakening of animation. The ap- proacGng Easter recess of the Su- prenne Court may for few weeks put the trust cases into the back ground The uncertainty as to Demo- cratic programmes at the extra session of Congress, to be convened within three weeks, undeniably is a deter rent factor to activity. There is no obvious inducement to trade on either side of the account. "Opportunism' seems the only safe policy though the speculative lookout should be sharp for clearing skies, remembering that only for a time can the great energies of this wfnderful country be ~represSedS

The lately ended session of Congress was of the billion dollar type. Its appropriations total s1025. 4s9. .662. If economy was sought. it was not found. Indeed. 1t may be said that the high tariff policy demands heavy appropria- tions. and can only be justified by the need of great revenue. There may be talk of economy. but so long as the tariffs beneficiaries can influence ac- tion. it will never be put into any material effect.
 Economy. to be effective. must be- gin with the tariff. Cut down the revenue. and expenditures must take the downward track It is a. fact that the strongest opponents of economy have always been the supporters of high tariff duties. They recognize, though they do not admit that ex- travagant expenditures necessitate high taxes on imports.

BRYAN STIRS UP
PARTY LEADERS
Comment on Wool Schedule
Replied to by Congress
man Underwood.
DECLARES 1T is UNFAIR
Rate Agreed to Was Adopted for
Revenue Only-Face a Diff
cheney in Treasury.

Washington, May S1.-Aroused by
William j. Bryaus attack yesterday on
democrats who favor a raw wool tariff
democratic leader Underwood made a
statement last night, declaring Mr.. ,Bry-
ans attitude unjust and unfair" and
disclosing that the wool tariffs to be
submitted at Thursdays democratic
caucus are much the same as thesWil-
son bill wool schedules.
The Nebraskan's appeal aroused in
tense feeling, arousing Mr.. Underwood
TO the necessity of a reply.
REVENUE SOLE OBJECT.
The ways and means committee
have cut in half the whole wool sched-
uIe, haid Mr. Underwood. 1T is fixed
absolutely for the purpose of revenue
without any Of the essentials ofEa pro-
tective tariff
The democratic leader explained that
the party and the committee are con-
fronted with a deficiency in the treas
ury.
The democratic party" Mr.. Un-
derwood concluded, stands essen
TALLY for a tariff for revenue. 1t
does not stand for free trade. 1 do
not believe the people will be mis-
led by the statements which Mr..
Bryan has made 1 feel the demo-
cratic caucus will adopt the bill by
a large majority"
MADE THROUGH CONGRESSMEN.
Mr. Bryan's rebuke to the demo-
cratic majority which has agreed to
support the revised wool schedule is
in statement made public through
Representative Harrison of New
York.
The democratic voters" said Mr..
Bryan, knew the argument that the
tariff on wool is proposed as a rev.
enue tariff is merely a subterfuge
employed because those who employ
it are ashamed to say that they ia
vor protection.
THE republicans believe in pro-
lection. Let no democratic advocate
of tax on wool masquerade behind
the pretense that he is voting for
a revenue taFfn;; ret him not add hy-
pocrisy to the sin which he commits
against his party.

TAX COMMISSION
Recommends Creation in Spe-

AMENDMENTS TO THE LAWS
Discovered That Bill Carrying ApprO
priations for Utilities Investiga-
ton Did Not Pass.

/ Springfield, May SIN a special
message to the general assembly
when it reconvened today, Governor
/ Deneen recommends the creation of a
permanent state tax commission to in
vestigate the subject of taxation for
state and local purposes, with a view
10 future amendments to the taxing
laws.
The house adopted the new sen
ate joint resolution on sine die ad-
journment continuing the session
long enough to pass a tax levy bill
and a bill appropriating $4,000 to
cover the expenses of a state COM
mission to investigate public util-
tiles.
PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL LOST.
Springfield, Ill, May 31.-Discovery
has been made that the bill making an
appropriation for -tne-'pubifc utilities
commission was lost in the shuttle. AS
passed by the house II appropriated
$4,000 for the investigation. The SEN
ate amended il by cutting the amount
TO S., 900 and passed the bill, but the
house refused to accede to the amend
ment.
The omission was found when Sen
ator Harburgh, chairman of the senate
appropriation committee, began tabu
lating the appropriations passed by the
assembly and found the item for public
utilities missing. In case of a special
session. il probably will be included in
the call.
TOTAL NEAR s2s.OOO,OOO.
So far the f1nanciers have not fgur-
ed up the exact amount of the total ap-
propriations. Senator Harburgh says
they probably will reach an aggregate
Of $2S, 100000, due to several large
items-for instance. $4,000 for Dun
ming and 100000 for the new state
insane hospital. which is TO be erected
at a cost of 81 100000
Governor Deneen signed the Gilbert
bill, providing for the appointment by
the supreme court of three commits
sioners to aid in the more speedy dis
position of the business of appellate
courts. Ii applies particularly 20 Cook
county. Such employment shall not
continue beyond July l, 1913.
Another bill approved amends the
act relating to wills so that Witnesses
or their wives or husbands cannot be
benehciaries.
Counties will be required 20 pay SIS
a month hereafter instead of $40 for
each inmate in the Industrial School
for Girls at Park Ridge.
