WILL PASS STEEL
BILL NEXT WEEK
Ways and Means Committee Is
Ready for Action of Caucus on
New Tariff Measure.

The Democratic bill to revise the iron
and steel schedules Of the Payne-Aldrich
law will be passed by the House next
week. Majority Leader Underwood, who
is also the Ways and Means chairman,
made this statement yesterday.
The Democrats will caucus on Satur-
day and agree on the bill as framed by
the WAYS and Means Committee. Then
the measure will be introduced at noon
on Monday and taken up on Tuesday.
II is all ready now save that a few fig
ures remain to be verified by the gov
ernment experts.
These experts are now at work on
these hgures,' said Mr.. Underwood. "and
We expect to have the bill ready in time
for the Democrats OF the House to con-
slider It in caucus next Saturday. The
call Is not yet issued. but probably viii
be tomorrow. I do not expect long dis
cussion on the bill; certainly there
shouldn't be more than week OF talk
We plan to introduce the bill the first
thing next week and to pass II before
the following Saturday. I do not want
to discuss the schedules until the caucus
has passed upon the measure"
The Democratic caucus, II is generally
believed, will recommend free iron ore
and reduce the schedules on manufac-
tured articles from 20 to so per cent, the
duties to be ad valorem instead of
specific.

not as hostile as they were some time
ago. Pacihcatory influences have been
at work. and there Is said to be a bet
| ter feeling between the various forces
that are at work to prevent the renomi-
nation Of President Taft. II required
very clever diplomacy TO adjust the
political relations between the Roosevelt
movement and the La Toilette AFFAIR.
I Charged Bad Faith.
At first the La Toilette men were dis
posed TO charge Col Roosevelt with prac-
I ticing bad faith by encouraging Senator
La Toilette to become a candidate, and
then when the progressive movement
got well under way, permitting some of
his friends to start a Roosevelt organ
ization, which has been conspicuous
chiefly for the facility with which It has
absorbed the promising La Toilette
strength in many Western States. But
peace emissaries have been at work
There has been an exchange OF greet
ings. and the La Toilette movement and
the Roosevelt movement, II is now be-
lieyed. will work in harmony.
Senator La Toilette will continue in
the race. but his followers will be pre-
vented from clashing with the Roose-
Welt men. Senator la Toilette. accord
ing to the view OF his closest friends
here, does not expect to be nominated.
but he does expect to have an infiu-
ence on the work Of the convention
that will be felt not only in the choice
Of a progressive candidate, probably
Roosevelt, but in the making Of a pro-
gressive platform In fact. Senator La
Toilette is unwilling to leave the con-
struction of a platform for this years
campaign to the Roosevelt or the Taft
Republicans. He has some original
fdaaR a. fn nIa r.
into the platform, and he will marshal
his forces and make a determined
stand In the convention for certain
definite declarations OF party policy.
Expects More Power.
The friends of the Senator from Wis
consin believe, even II President Rocse-
Welt should be nominated and elected.
Senator La Toilette would prove to be
one OF the most important factors In
the new administration and a voice IN
Congress. II Roosevelt should happen
to fail Of election. Senator La Toilette,
they argue. would be the logical nomI-
nee of the Republican party in 1916.
provided the progressive Republicans
succeed in committing the Republican
party permanently to their policies.
All the information that has come 10
washington politicians within the past
week concerning Col. RoossveIrs atti-
rude tends to convince them that he is
willing to be candidate. The Senators
and Representatives who have been
quietly engineering the Roosevelt movea
ment are just as smiling and knowing as
ever, and they assert positively that the
colonel will add nothing to the eloquent
silence that has encouraged his friends
and perplexed hts political adversaries up
to the present time.
II was said here yesterday by one OF
Col Roosevelt's most intimate Triends
that the former President has been be-
seiged recently by representatives OF
both President Tafts followers and the
La Toilette managers, all seeking a pub |

President Sends to Congress
Plan Showing How TO
Save 100000.
BOARD FOR EFFICIENCY
Consolidation of Some Bureaus and
the Abolition of Others Is
Recommended.

President Taft sent a special message
70 Congress yesterday indicating how be-
tween &2.oOo,OOo and sS.OooO0O can be saved
Immediately by a policy of economy and
efficiency in the government service, and
how other reforms are possible that Will
eventually result in running the govern
meHt many millions OF dollars cheaper
than II is now.
The Presidents message was accom-
panied by the report OF his economy
commission, which has been at work for
more than year, but has merely laid a
foundation for the constructive plan or
ehicisney and economy which the Presi-
cent hopes It VIII be able to establish
The most radical proposal advanced by
the President IN his message is that prac-
Gcally all administrative officers OF the
government in departments at Washing
ton and IN the field be removed from the
influence Of politics and put under civil
service. This extension OF the civil sery-
fee would include postmasters. collectors
Of internal revenue and customs, United
States marshals, ard thousands OF other
officials.
Wants Merit System.
The President holds that the terms OF
Office Of these government orficiaIs should
not De limited. as at present, to four
years, or appointed by the President with
the necessity Of Senate confirmation. He
would base the entire system upon merit.
among the other notable reforms that
The President recommends are theabont-
Ton Of the Revenue-cutter Service, which
would effect a saving of Sl.OOO,OOO a year:
the consolidation Of the Lighthouse and
Iite-Saying services. accomplishing a.
saving of 100000 a year; the doing away
Of the returns Office of the Interior De-
partment; the consolidation OF the six
auditing Offices OF the Treasury Depart
ment: the tablishment OF new methods
on filing correspondence in the several
departments. which alone would effect a
saving Of $l,OOO.OOO a year; a curtaflment
Of unnecessary copying work in all de-
partments. and the application Of eco
nomical methods 10 travelling accounts by
government officials.
The President suggests a new grouping
Of government bureaus, and asks for an
appropriation of S25O.OO TO enahI his COM
mission TO prosecute its work further.

message:

ASKS PERMANENT BUILDINGS.
Bill VIII Appropriate S+sO,OOO for
Diplomatic Residences.

Despite the policy Of retrenchment en-
tered upon by the Democratic leaders
Of the House, an effort is to be made
AT this session TO secure appropriations
to begin the building OF legation and
embassy buildings for American diplo-
matte representatives abroad. This plan
has the sympathy Of Representative Sui
ger. Of New York, chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs CT the House.
After a conference yesterday with
State Department officials, Chairman
Sulzer announced that he would soon
present a bill making an appropriation
of $4,000 TO build an embassy in the
City of Mexico. a like amount for a lega-
ton in Tokyo. for $4,000 for a legation
a. Berne, Switzerland, and $4,000 for a
consulate at Hankow, China.
I am Informed" said Chairman Sui
Zer. that the State Department will
soon send in recommendations for ap-
propriations for buildings in the cities
named. / believe the government should
acquire permanent habitations for its
representatives in foreign capitals.

CUMMINS TO ENTER
PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Iowan Expected to Throw Strength
to 7. R. When Roosevelt
Stampede Is Started.

A fourth aspirant for the Republican
nomination for President will be in the
field in a few days. There appears to be
no longer any reason 10 doubt that Sena-
tor A. B. Cummins, Of Iowa, has con-
cluded to make an announcement. It was
said yesterday by Iowa men who are
close TO the Senator that before the end
OF the week he win let 1t be known that
he is willing that Iowa should select
delegates to the next Presidential con-
vention at Chicago instructed for Cum
minis. The information may be given out
I'm Iowa in the form Of a letter TO one
Of the Senator's political friends He
has very many letters from his State
urging him to permit his name to be
used.
Politicians were busy in Washington
yesterday specializing on the political ef-
feet Of Senator Cummins' entry into the
field. Roosevelt's friends seemed very
much pleased and declared that the move
ment to nominate Col. Roosevelt would
be augmented by Senator Cummins' can
didacy. The Senator from Iowa and Col.
Roosevelt are very good friends. II Is
recalled that Senator Cummins was ap-
proved as a running mate for President
Taft in 1905, when the managers OF Presi-
dent Taft's campaign at the Chicago con-
vention submitted the Senator's name to
President Roosevelt.
May Help Roosevelt.
There are politicians in Washington
who professed to see in Senator Cummins'
candidacy a move in the interest OF
Roosevelt. They say that it is designed
TO sew UP the delegates from Iowa for
her favorite son. to prevent their being
gathered into the Taft fold. When the
attempted stampede to Roosevelt starts
Iowa, It is assumed by these political
will be well up in the lead.
Senator Cummins' Iowa friends here
declare that somebody will be fooled on
the Cummins movement. The Senator
has received assurances OF substantial
support from many States" said an Iowa
yesterday. The business In
terests OF the country are not unfriendly
to Senator Cummins. He Is not classed
as a radical He has not been personally
10 his party associates. Sena-
tor Cummins has attacked measures, not
men. He will have the support of many
interests IN the Republican
party that would shy at La Toilette"
