SENATE MEMBERS TO be PUT ON
RECORD ON EVERY PHASE
OF TARIFF.
SENATOR STONE TO LEAD
FIGHT TO FORCE SCHEDULES
Lengthy Debate NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
That President Will Be Able to Kill
Amendments to Reciprocity Bill and
Force Measure Thru-csrtain to Be
Passed.

Washington, June 6.-Senate repub-
licans are to be compelled to go on
record on every phase of the tariff that
is acted upon by the house, II demo-
Gratis are able to bring this about. 1t
is not likely they will be compelled to
vote on other schedules than those
which the house revises. but 1t Is Ger
tain at least they can not evade record
votes on the schedules the house
passes on and sends UP.
Senate insurgents fought hard for
the lowering of duties two years ago,
and some of the democratic senators
intend to see now whether they will
adhere to the same views.
Senator Stone, of Missouri. will lead
in the fight to put thru the upper
house the tariff schedules that are re-
vised in the house. He Will not. with
out contest. permit the finance COM
nlittee to bottle up these measures.
He will move to discharge the finance
committee from consideration OF each
one of the bills that it tries to bottle
I'D. This Will precipitate a long de-
bate on each.
The house has passed the reciprocity
measure and the free list bill. It will
pass bill to reduce wooden duties. 1t
is not likely to do more than this. tho
there has been some talk Of cotton be-
ing taken up.
Wool Bill to Pigeon Hole.
The free list bill is now in the A.
nance committee. and that committee
purposes to keep 1t there. The wool
bill in due time will be sent to the
same committee and be pigeonholed.
Senator Stone will move to dis
charge the committee from considera-
ton Of each of these bills. The result
ing struggle may prolong the session
greatly. it may be into August, or even
September.
Stone and other democrats intend to
put It up to" the insurgents. They
purpose to do this especially on the
wool schedule. They intend to repre-
sent to the country that the demo-
schedule is substantially what Dolli-
yer and other senate insurgents con-
tended for in 1909 and II the insurg-
ents refuse to support It. then they
VIII assail the insurgents for incon-
sistency and cowardice.
It is certain, however, that some Of
the insurgents, both in the house and
senate are going to support the demo-
cratic bill revising the wool and WOOL
en- duties. Just how many will do so
Is unsettled.
1t IL believed now that the president
will succeed in killing of the amend
ments to the Canadian treaty. and that
when 1t comes to a vote in the senate
It will pass as 4 came from the house.
II the senate should amend. the presi-
dent is said to have received assur-
ances that the house will stand Arm IN
conference against any change in the
measure
Reciprocity Sure to Pass.
The Canadian reciprocity agreement
Will be adopted by the senate without
amendment and with more than thirty
votes to spare.
This prediction is based upon a care
full poll Of the senate. This poll shows
remarkable change in sentiment, due
in large measure to the gallant fight
President Taft has made for the legis-
lation and to the Overwhelming public
sentiment in favor Of the proposed
treaty which was shown by The Trib-
une's poll Of editors in twenty-five diff
ferent states of the union.
