should have originated in the House as

Senator Gronna declared the farm
ers Of this country were almost
unanimous in their opposition to the
reciprocity bill: that their indifference
was apparent only to those viewing
the farmers attitude with prejudiced
eyes and that probably some of those

the farmers are Indifferent will have

In having the bill framed and trying
to force IT through Congress, declared
Senator Gronna, the President exceed
ed his constitutional powers-a decid-
edly serious violation. he added, ue-
cause 1t was in accordance with a
pledge given to foreign nation.
The President" he continued, has
apparently come to the conclusion that
he represents the people of this coun
try both as executive and legislature,
and that the two houses Of Congress
are merely two bodies Of men provid-
ed for by the Constitution, which he
can unfortunately not get rid Of but
which are to be ignored and coercci

Says Report Was Suppressed.
During the hearing Prof. Elliott read
from an unpublished report on the con-
dition of the fur seal herd of the Prib-
ilof Islands, made to the bureau of fish
cries in 1909 by George A. Clark. mem
her Of the advisory fur seal board of the
bureau. This report was exceedingly
pessimistic concerning the future Of the
seal herd and this. Prof. Elliott said,
was why 1t had never been published.
The Clark report contained the state
ment that the killing of seals during the
1909 season had been SO close and exces-
sive that there would be nothing left to
kill in 1910 except yearlings. Prof. Ell
liott contended that this went to prove
his assertion that of the 1000 seals
killed in 1910 under government super
vision, 5000 were one year of age.
