DEPUTY BLAST EXPLAINS.
Tony Blasi-or whatever his

why he defended instead of pros
ecuting the employment agents
arrested by Police Lieut.. Gallery

The employment agents were
friends of Blast. But this was not
his reason for defending them.
Far be it from such.
Blast defended the agents be-
cause Lieut.. Gallery, in thought
less moment, spoke slightingly of
Gov. Deneen.
Blast, of course, was appointed
deputy inspector by Deneen,
achieving that proud distinction
through the good Offices of State
Senator Francis P. Brady.
And Blast naturallywas peeved
when Gallery expressed his opin-
ion of the Tribune's private gov
ernor, through whom Blast gets
his bread and butter and title.
This also was the reason that
Blast announced that he was go
ing to "get" Lieut.. Gallery for ar

RAW SUGAR FREE7
Democrats Hunt Ways to Make Up the
Lost Revenue.

Washington, Feb. 22--Raw sugar may
be put on the free list and the $50 900, 600
of revenue which would be lost to the
treasury department by such procedure
may be made up by taxing the refined
product or imposing heavier duties on
commodities used by the wealthy, such
as silks, satins, silk stockings, etc Oscar
w. Underwood, chairman OF the House
ways and means committee, has adj
mitted that the Democrats on thai COM
mittee have been unable to agree on
bill revising the sugar schedule of the
Payne Aldrich tariff law, and in connec.
ton with the matter said: DOUBTLESS
we will get together and report a bill
within the next few weeks. Our problem
is to find out how to raise the $1,000
600 of revenue that would be lost to
the treasury should sugar be put on the
free list"
Representative Hardwick of Georgia,
chairman of the committee which has
been investigating the so-called sugar
trust, will submit the report of the COM
mittee on Saturday and will recommend
that the raw product be freed of duty,
the deficit in revenue resulting therefrom
to be made up as above suggested. The
idea of imposing the tax on the refined
product does not meet with as much ia
vor as the suggestion of increasing the
tax on articles used by the wealthy
classes, it being argued that though the
tax would be paid directly to the govern.
ment by the refined sugar manufacturers,
in the long run it would be settled on
the consumer. On the other hand
tax on silks would be paid by persons
who can afford it and the latter method
would tend to reduce the price OF sta
pie article used by the masses.
Other members of the committee in
sist, however, that the present rate of
81 .6s per 100 pounds on raw sugar be
cut in half, the so per cent. difference
to be gained by consumers tax" on

All Vote Against the Chemical
Revision
SOLID FRONT IS PRESENTED
To the House Democrats-By Vote of
178 to 127 Bill Is Passed-Another
Tariff Bill Now Goes to the
Senate Calendar.

Washington, Feb 22.-For the first
time since the insurgent Republicans
broke away from the regulars in the
fight on the petroleum duty in the Payne
tariff bill in 1909, the Republicans OF
the House yesterday presented practical
~ solid front against the passage OF
a tariff revision bill. All insurgents yot-
ed with the regular Republican forces
against the Underwood chemical tariff,
which was passed, however, by a vote
of ITS to 1877.
With the passage of this bill by the
House, another Democratic tariff meas
ure is added to the Senate calendar The
steel bill is pending in the Senate, where
only coalition of progressive RepubI
cans and the Democrats can pass it, The
intention of the Senate finance commit
tee, whose hearings on the House steel
tariff bill are now drawing to Il close,
is to grant ample hearings to all parties
interested in the tariff bills sent over
from the House. The hearings on the
steel bill probably will be concluded BY
the end of this month, being continued
yesterday with the testimony of repre-
sentatives of leading interests.
The Republican members of the Senate
finance committee have had only one
conference. They have not definitely out
lined their tariff program, but it is be !.
lieved the debate on the steel and the
other revision measures will be protraet-
ed. The illness of Senator La Toilette
has interfered seriously with the forma-
tion of policy by the Republican pro.
gressiye senators, who hold the balance
of power, and so far there have been no
real overtures between them and the
Democratic leaders.

BAY STATE HIGHWAYS.
Governor Foss Recommends Appropria-
ton of S5,ooo,ooo.

Boston, Feb. 2l.--A special appropria-
ton of S5000,D00 to be expended during
the next five years in the construction
OF new state highway is recommend
ed by Governor Foss in a messr>~a sent
to the legislature late yesterday. The
governor urges this in addition to the
regular appropriation for the state high
way commission, estimated for this year
at s262, $50.
After stating that the cost of main
ter anee state highways and parkways
amounting to nearly million dollars
year is largely due to the use of au-
tomobles, Governor Foss urges that a
revised schedule of motor car fees be
considered at once, at an average of
not less than so cents nor more than a
dollar per horse power, and that the
fees be utilized in full to meet the ex-
pense of maintaining highways and to
help in meeting local expenses of the
same type on an equitable basis He
says that the present fees assessed on
automobile owners are at an average
rate of approximately 30 cents per horse
power and that the 10000 automobiles
in the state aggregate about one mill
lion horse power.
