BIG POLITICS AHEAD.
Action on Tariff Revision May Make,

Or Break Either Party Next Fall
New York World.
The crisis of the extraordinary ses-
sion Will be reached within the next
~ days. 1t cannot be deferred be-
yond July 27, when a final vote is
scheduled for the House wool revi-
sion Dill. The final outcome must de-
pend altogether on whatever combi.
nation is effected between the Demo-
Gratis and progressive Republicans In
arranging their coalition. if it can.
be done, the steel. sugar, cotton, limo
leum, silk and oher important sched-
ules will be taken into consideration.
NO prophecy can be made as to just
what basis Of compromise, if any, can
be found and how far the combina-
ton will go in playing politics.

be the dominating factor in events

might throw the chances of success
to the other party. For that reason
every move will be carefully made
and its effect considered and anaIy-
zed before action is taken.
An agreement between the Demo-
Gratis and the La Toilette faction Of
progressive Republicans to pass the
La Toilette wool bill as a substitute
for the House measure has already
encountered its first snag. The
parliamentary situation makes it inn
peratve that the La Toilette bill come
as separate and Independent meas
ure after the House wool bill has
failed Of passage.
The Constitution declares that all
revenue measures must originate in
he House. The La Toilette MIH
would be entirely Of Senate origin.
Its substitution for the House bill
would be perfectly proper, but the
Democrats feel they must first pro-
tect the House measure and vote for
it. That program will leave the La
Toilette Wool bill outside the consti-

poets, and especially those belonging
to the coalition, are studying this
problem
1t is suggested that possibly the
Wool Hill may be added to the
Farmers Free List bill. all the OBJ
jectionable features having been
eliminated by prior votes. In such
an event a coalition must be formed
to properly readjust the free list and
add the amendment suggested by the
progressives This makes another
awkward situation.
The controlling power behind all
present activity is the great desire OF
the Democrats and progressives to
lay genuine tariff revision bill be-
fore President Taft and place him in
a position where he must affix his
signature Or veto it. 1t is by this
course that the big politics can be
successfully played.
From tomorrow until the session
ends there will be continuous con-
ferences. These will involve at
tempts to give and take. hoping to
reach compromises on which the
Democrats and progreSsives can
unite.
