PUT IT UP
STRAIGHT TO
The PRESIDENT
MUST FACE TARIFF ISSUE
viii He Once More Veto
Schedule \

Washington, D. c., March 25.-Pres-
ident Taft within the next few weeks
will be given once more the unwel-
come chance of asserting to a revis-
ion of the "indefensible Schedule K"
as result Of the decision of the dem
ocrats of the house ways and means
committee just reached, to introduce
and re-pass through the house the 20
per cent. bill revising the wooden
schedule that was put through at the
special session last summer and We
toed by the president after the origi-
nal house rates had been increased to
a 29 per cent. average in the senate.
The ways and means democrats be-
lieve they have made "ten-strike" by
deciding on their course of action. In
the first place they feel that their plan
offers the largest hope for accomplish
ing legislation that will at least re-
lieve the masses of the people of some
of the burdens imposed on them by the
extortionate and indefensible rates
of the present woolen schedule.
Then the president is committed to
the policy of vetoing all tariff bills
sent him dealing with industries on
which the tariff board has not made
report. The tariff board has reported
at great length on the wOolen indus
try, and this report has been under
study by the democrats of the ways
and means committee for many weeks.
AS result of that study the com
mittee has come to the conclusion that
the rates of the woolen bill that was
passed by he house in the special ses-
sion were fully warranted by the diff
ference in the cost of production in
this country and abroad, as disclos-
ed by the tariff board investigation.
Several members of the committee
are convinced that the showing made.
by the tariff board would warrant
lower rates than those fixed in their
bill of the special session. These mem
bers declare that the tariff boar
figures show that wool can be produc-
ed in this country as cheaply as
abroad and therefore, that the free
listing of wool is. warranted. But
these members consented to leave on
raw wool the 20 per cent. duty pro
vided in the bill of last session as it
passed the house in the first place, be-
cause the revenue yielded by the duty
cannot be spared at this time, and,
secondly, because they know that no
bill placing wool on the free list cab
get through the senate, and, if it could,
the fact that wool was free-listed
would give the president at least
show of justification for vetoing it.
The democrats are anxious to accom-
plish a revision of the 'indefensible
Schedule X" at this session in the in
terest of the people, and, therefore.
they want to give the president no JUS
tifcation for another veto of the bill.

MATTERS ARE

AS They ARE SHAPING NOW
Looks Like the Logical Can
didatp, Friends Say

Washington, March 25.-The real
significance of recent unpleasantness
in house democratic caucuses, when
Speaker Clark and Majority Leader
Underwood, differed" as to the course
to pursue with regard to tariff revis-
ion is beginning to impress politicians
with the idea that it was a momen.
tous happening politically. There are
democrats who agree that the tilts
between Underwood and Clark and the
sensational attack made on w. ]. Bry-
an, and again on Representative Oh
lie James, Bryan's lieutenant, by I'm
derwood in the last session, have had
more to do with the lining-up of the
democratic forces for presidential
candidates than have any other Incl
dents which have occurred since the
democrats came into power in the
house
There is no lodging the fact that
Clark and Underwood have agreed to
disagree. Their slogans do not gibe.
And the Bryan adherents, identified
as Clark followers more frequently
than as Underwood supporters, are
said to be at heart highly displeased
with the situation, and with both lead.
ers.
of affairs may come well-organized
movement on the part of the demo-
cratic progressives in the house for
Harmon for the presidency. 1t is be-
ing suggested that the row may re-
dound to the good of Harmons can
didacy as against the aspirations of
Wilson, while the Underwood follow
ing may incline to Harmon.
Republicans in the house are natur-
ally perking up a bit over the bitter
ness between Clark and Underwood.
At the outset of this session of con-
gress the 'unbroken front" of the
democrats threw the republican mi
nority into gloom. They read defeat
for themselves in the national cleo
tions in every concerted move on the
part of their political enemies. Cen
orally it was conceded that Clark
and Underwood were a team. But it
is now as plain as day that Clark and
Underwood are not even hoping to
agree on policies and measures. In
view of Underwood's program it seems
more than probable that his influence.
which is considerable, will go to- Har-
mon before it will go to either Clark
or Wilson The handwriting on the
wall indicates this plainly.
The fact that Underwood twice has
routed the so-called progressives in
his party in the house shows that his
will is stronger and his following
greater among the 1house democrats
than Clark's. Clark has been pretty
much of a figure-head in the demo-
cratic house during this session,
while Underwood has been at the
wheel.
The belief is spreading that there is
z. decided degree of danger for the
democratic party in the house rum
pus. No effort on the part of the dem
ocrats to conceal the fact that there
are factions in the house, reactionary
the more this division in their ranks
is accentuated the more likely it is
that the party controversy will figure
in the democratic convention.

PASSING OF CONVERSATION

YES, really seems to be going into dccadcncc and
