Last night the House Committee on
Roads decided to report in unamended
form the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac compromise and meT-1r
bills as they passed the Senate. The
action was taken after argument had
been heard for four hours on the

in the committee that the bills should
be further amended so as to provide
that the State should retain it's rep
resentative upon the board OF direc-

TO REDUCE THE
TARIFF ON WOOL

WASHINGTON. March Sin keep
Ing with Democratic sympathy for
-tl4e-peeF- mans peekethook,ra- bill
providing for a tariff on wool, OF
-net-HeFe- than Ave cents per pound
will be presented to Congress within
the next thirty days.
The bill will be drawn personally
by Oscar w. Underwood. chairman of
the House Committee on Ways and
Means.
If the Democratic members of the
House are convinced that the income
tax bill recently agreed upon by the
Democratic -eatctscs viii pass int the
Senate, the proposed new bill VIII
provide for free wool.
A careful analysis of the wool re-
port made by President Taft's Tariff
Commission Is now complete and in
the hands OF the committee.
From an authoritative source 1t Is
learned that the analysis shows that
a duty Of 1-2 cents per pound af-
fords a complete and effective tariff
wall around the wool industry.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff law car
ries a dut yof IL cents per pound, or
IL cents per pound greater than
even the Presidents own Republican
tariff board will admit to be justi-
fled under the existing cost of pro-
duction.
1t Is the purpose of Mr.. Underwood
and his committee to create a tariff
for revenue only on wool. A rate Of
FIVE cents per pound will pour $780,
oo0,000 per year into the national
treasury.
A more careful study Of the pro-
posed income tax law reveals the fact
that II will produce 500. 900, 900 per
year. instead OF the S50,000.000 at
first estimated. II this bill Is per-
mitted to pass by the Republican Ben
ate, a tariff on wool even for revenue
will not be required by the Demo
Gratis Of the treasury.

Victor Berger. who Is directing the

FORCE RAILROAD TO

SENATE COMMITTEE FAVOR
ABLY REPORTS BILL THAT
HAS PASSED HOUSE.

Owning 5000 acres of coal land in
Dickinson and Russell counties
valueless to them because they can
not get railway connection. owners
of the tract spoke yesterday before
the Senate Committee on Roads for
a bill to require railroads to connect
with parallel lines. The bill was re-
ported favorably.
Proprietors of the coal field told
the committee they bought the land
several years ago expecting to get
railway connection with the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio. They had Of
fered to build a line from their mines
to tho railroad tracks. but the rail-
road would not let them connect.
Even after Offering to give their line
fee simple TO the railroad, they said.
a connection was refused them They
explained this by the statement that
the Carolina. Clinchfeld and Ohio
has large coal fields of its own and
does not want a business competitor.
The bill, which has already passed
the House. would require that con-
nection be made where one road is
an intrastate line. as Is now the case,
when both do an interstate business.
