in reality it should be $14OOO,0oO. This
shows what sort of a measure it is"
Representative Madden, of Illinois,
strongly advocated the passage Of the
funding bill.
1T is the best piece of legislation for
the District I have ever seen" he said.
The moneys for permanent improve
ments are borrowed from the Federal
treasury. There is now an account of
s., ,SOOOO0. This bill provides a payment
of $3OOOO0 a year on this, and also sets
aside 8, $4,000 each year for permanent
improvements. The bill should be en-
titled, a measure for the economy Of
Federal government 1t is a bill for the
future of the District-a plan which
prompts men to do what is best"
Others Approve the Bill.
This bill simply limits the current ex-
penditres so that the surplus can be
put into improvements" said Representa-
tive Mann. in supporting the funding
bill. 1T gives no additional authority
to the District Commissioners. Every
item they propose to expend will still be
subject to points Of order. The Com
missioners may estimate all they wish
This bill is simply TO require them to
save 8, 10000 annually for improvements
and to pay at least $4,000 annually on
the floating debt
Representative Oloott, a member Of the
District Committee, expressed his ap-
proval of the bill. There were attacks
upon it by Representative Andrus. of
New York, and Representative Borland
of Missouri. Representative Sims then
took the floor and announced that there
was very large dark person in a very
small woodpfle. He ridicUled the aSser-
uons OF the committee members that the
bill was meritorious. II do not know
why you grab this indefensible and abom-
Unable measure and try to jam it through
this House over every other bill on the
calendar" shouted MIR. Sims. He punctu-
ated a series Of very caustic remarks
which followed by hammering the desk
of the member in the front row beside
which he stood.
Commissioner JudHon Present.
'If you think you can ram down a
measure of this sort under suspension of
the rules you are wrong. Let me call
on all the members of this House to
think before they vote, and let me call
particularly on those members who are
about to re-enter private life TO think
before they vote on this proposition. You
will not be here very much longer"
The fiery Tennesseean intimated at the
outset of his speech that he would be
glad to work and vote for the funding
plan. If it could be separated from the
real estate project in the bill. but refused
to reiterate this proposal when urged by
Representative Mann to do so.
The Democrats voted almost solidly
against the bill. They were Joined by
the insurgents. There was not a large
attendance of Republicans.

President Taft told the magazine
men to their faces yesterday that his
fight for an increased rate on sec
ond-class postage was on to fin
ish, and that they might as we'll
prepare to face the issue again in
the next Congress if it is defeated
in this one. He suggested that the
methods used by some of the mag
azlnes in combating the proposed
legislation is the kind usually re-
sorted to in defense of cause for
which there is no defense.
PRESIDENT DECLINES TO YIELD.
This declaration to a delegation of mag
azine publishers who called at the White
House came only a short time after the
President had received word from the
Capitol that it would be impossible to
pass his second-class postage amendment
in this session of Congress. He has re-
fused to yield on the question. but the
Senate leaders concede that it will be
dropped from the post-Office appropria
ton bill soon after it is taken up.
After the visit of the magazine men
at the White House. a report was cir
culated that the President was willing
to yield on the second-class amendment
and submit the question to investigation
by a commission. Nothing in the Presi-
nrlr- -
however. indicates that he is willing to
accept this compromise. Even If he did
favor the appointment of a commission,
it probably would be impossible to get
the necessary legislation at this session
Of Congress- Senator Crane and Senator
Penrose, the latter the chairman of the
Senate Post-office Committee, called at
the White House last night and acknowl-
edged that there is no chance of the au
thorizatiOn of a commission.
Here is what the President said to the
magazine men:
81 am going ahead with it as long as
am in Office, to bring about a proper
adjustment of this matter. 1t may be
defeated this time, but | am going on as
long as l have any power. and you gen.
tlemen had better make up your minds
that it is in your interest as well as in
tne interest OF Jne government 10 nave
this matter settled
The Question Must Be Settled.
You may be able to defeat the present
proposal These things are frequently
capable of defeat for a time. But as
long as have any power 1 am going TO
the consideration OF this ques-
ton until it is settled. 1t is not in the
slightest spirit of hostility to the maga-
zines that l have made this recommended
ton. but because it is that 1 am re-
sponsible for the government of the
United Stotes and the administration of
it, and am bound TO call to the attention
of Congress the expenditure of revenue
and the failure of receipts, when those
receipts are not such as they ought to
be because some class is getting the
benefit of something for nothing from the
government
This agitation has brought out meth
DDS that doubt if you all approve. Ger
tainly. there are quite a number of gen.
tlemen who are interested in the same
line of business as you are who do not
approve and 1 venture to suggest that
methods of that kind are used to defend
q cause for which there is no defense"

ticipation that the Senate, by holding a
of five of the pending appropriation
measures. Four and half hours of the
evening session were consumed in dis
cussing the agricultural appropriation
bill.
1t was about 10 clock when the Senate
finally passed the agricultural apprOpria-
ton bill. Senator Penrose had expected
to bring the pOst-office appropriation bill
up then but the insurgents insisted upon
consideration of the tariff commission
proposition as the unfinished business of
the Senate.
Senator Stone. OF Missouri, then
stretched his long legs. yawned, arose,
and began to talk, Senator Hepburn in
the meanwhile stepping out OF the cham
Der to get a good breath of fresh air.
Senator Stone arose for information. He
wanted to know how Senator Beveridge,
of Indiana, happened to be in charge of
this tariff commission bill. AS member
Of the Senate Finance Committee, he re-
called that that committee had instructed
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, to re-
port the bill, and until that time Sena-
tor Lodge had been in charge of the
measure
"Is it possible" asked Senator Stone,
with mock surprise, that no Republican
member of the Finance Committee cares
to take charge of this bill?"
The fact of the matter is that no MEM
Der of the Senate Finance Committee Is
particularly enthusiastic over President
Taft's tariff commission bin, and now
that the insurgents had forced its con-
sideration by threatening to hold up the
Lorfmer case, they have insisted upon
having one of their own number steer
the course of the bill upon the floor. Ac-
cordingly Senator Lodge had been left out
in the cold.

forced seriousness that brought chuckles
from other members of the Senate and
caused Senator Lodge to squirm in his
seat Senator Hale declared that IT was
only Tuesday night that the Massachu-
setts Senator showed insignia of author
ity which indicated leadership and con-
troll in this matter.
Hale Compels Chuckles.

A Statement from MIR. Fitz.

Dies ARC, Mo-, December ri, 1911.
MR.. ELI D. AXE, 1~ronton, Mo-:
Friend ELL noticed in last
weeks REGISTER that you had a
little note concerning an article
! had written some weeks ago in
my correspondence.
Regarding this matter | want to
say that | was talking with Mr..
Boyer, the Roadmaster of the l.
M. Railroad, and everything has
been cleared up between him and
myself. 1 feel sure that you peo-
pie misprinted my statement about
fast trains, as I fully intended
saying freight trains, but if did
not am willing to bear all the
blame. l intended to say that
Mr.. Boyer told me in his statement
that the freight trains had been
cut down to a running schedule of
thirty miles per hour, and
notice that you have it fast ira ins
have been cut down to thu rty
miles per hour.
Also regarding the ties, Mr..
Boyer told me that it would re-
quire from five hundred to one
thousand ties per mile to fix the
road between Piedmont, and a
point nineteen miles north OF
Piedmont. | think this a mist AXE
I gave this as one thousand ties
and it should have been five hum
dred, and not to De Soto, but to q
point nineteen miles north 0,
Piedmont, the distance that had
been covered by Mr.. Boyer at the
time I had this conversation with
him.
I am very sorry these mistakes
occurred, and l hope there will be
no further trouble about this
matter, and would like you tt
publish this letter, or something
to clear this matter up.
In regard to Mr.. Boyer, wan
to say that | don't think thu
Railroad Company could possibly
get a better man for the position
he holds, than is Mr.. Boyer.
Hoping there will be nothing
further in regard to this, l am
Very respectfully yours,
THoS. P. FITz.

Flag Raising.

Mr.. w. G. Whitworth presented
the Arcadia Public School with a
large flag, 8x10, at the beginning
of the school year. Some trouble
was found in securing a suitable
pole and pulley until Mr.. George
Sutherland was pressed into SER
vice. He carried off the honors
by bringing a pole 48 feet long,
from the nearby woods, and with
the aid of twelve representative
men it was erect, ready for Friday.
The pulley and rope were donated
by Louis Miller, Sr.
On Friday afternoon the flag
raising services were held. After
a short prayer by Rev. Self adj
dresses were made by MI. Oren
and MI. Jacobs, and while sing
ing America all marched out
around the pole and the flag was
raised by Mr.. Kanouse with mil
itary form, unfolding as it was
raised. A goodly number of
Ironton and Arcadia citizens were
present to encourage the boys
and girls in demonstrating theil
love for our country. K.

Des Arc Items.

This has been the most prosper
Gus Christmas week we have had
for many years. The merchants
are paying 3S cents cash for ties
and 40 cents in trade. For ten
days there has been an average of
more than sixty loads of ties and
lumber in town every day; some
days 70 loads. Quite a lot of shaw
ed hoops were brought in, SO ev-
erbody had money and the jugs
came in freely. / understand An
napolis, Sabula and Hogan had a
fine trade.
The Sunday Schools gave a treat
to the children of candies, nuts,
etc., which they enjoyed very
much. Bro. j. L. Strader's Bible
Class gave him a fine bible, which
he appreciated greatly. We have
two large Sunday Schools here.
One thing l have noticed all over
the county, and that is our public
school teachers do not take any
part in our Sunday School work.
1t seems to me they ought to be
right in front. 1t would be suchsa
good example for the children.
Our school commissioner takes a
very active part in Sunday School
and church work. l hope our COM
missioner, MI. Burnham, will take
this matter up at his teachers
meetings and advise the teachers
how important it is that they at
tend Sunday School, as well as
church.
