PERFECT HARMONY PREVAILS IN DELIBERATIONS OF THE
 COMMITTEE.
TARIFF REVISION DOWNWARD
All Important Ideas of Party Advocates in Past
 Four Years.

Baltimore, July 1.-The platform on which the Democratic par.y will stand has been completed by the com mittee on resolutions and bristles with progressiveism.
 The document is the result of forty eight hours work by a committee Il is almost entirely new, although the recommendations of New York were followed in many particulars.
 From first to last the resolutions committees deliberations were char acterized by the utmost harmony. The unanimous demand was for pro- nounced declarations in favor of pro gressive policies all along the line and the only differences arose over the best method of expressing this tendency.
 The result is platform of gener- ally advanced views. although many of them are less radical than the par ty declarations of other years.
 The document covers every subject of importance which has been the sub ject of party discussion in four years. None of them is presented elaborate ly, but the large number of subjects renders the document vOluminous. One said that it was "as long as a clothes line" and another that it lex tends from Maine to California"

GOV. DONAGHEY AND THE
 T. T. BILL

T. T. BILL
 There is much speculation as to the cause Gov. Donaghey will pursue in regard to the T. J. |bill in the ensuing campaign. As is well known, he announced that he would stand or fall with the |biH, " and it is also a historic fact that his fall was most tremen- dous. Since the election he has made no statement concerning This fayorite measure for the re- vision of the taxation system, and ! has declined, at this time, to state his position.
 That there will be advocates of |the measure, however, is certain. lone of t s authors, Senator |Charlie Jacobson, of Little Rock, will deliver an address at Bige- low, Perry county, on the Fourth, 1 in which he will make an argu ment in favor of the measure (which is now being printed in |every county of the state at a cost of S44,000. He contends that the act is misunderstood or wilfully misinterpreted by it's op- ponents, and that it is a most i'm
 portant act for an equitable ad- Justment of the assessments and
 tax rates of the state; also, that
 1t will shift the burden of tax
 atlon from the poor man to the
 rich corporation where it justly
 belongs.
 It Is admitted by all that Gov.
 Robinson will find himself con-
 1ronted with most serious prob

 nor $ chair He will have not
 only a depleted treasury but a
 dehclt of anything up to million
 dollars. A loan to cover the de

 rate are plans tentatively propos- ca to meet the situation.
 It cannot be denied that all the

Final Count Shows
National Liberals
Control Reichstag

BERLIN, Jan. 2s-The political com
plexion Of the new Reichstag as de-
termined BY the final result OF the thirty
three rebaiiots taken today is shown by
the following general party groupings.
The subordinate, or allied factions are In.
cluded for convenience with the parties
with which they generally vote:
Socialists, no; progressive-non-socIali
groups e. including &c national liberals.
{: radical peoples partlsans and !
progressive peasants and others; clericals,
with Polish. Alsatian and Hanoverian
particuIarists II; conservatives and allied
parties. g. independent, 1; Ex-Minister OF
the Interior Count Won Possdowsky-
wehner.
The result completely overthrows the
working majority OF the conservative
center in the last Reichstag. which is now
able to muster only 1911. counting every
possible vote. and places the control in
the hands of the national liberals, who
will be able TO form a majority by throw
ing their strength with either the right
or the left. -
This makes the national liberal leader,
Ernest Bzssermann. a commanding figure
In the next Rsichstag. He will be able
TO swing certain svowed national liberals,
who under proper Inducements prob
ably would be prepared TO cooperate
with the government on most questions.
The hostility Of other progressive
groups to the reactionary bloc" ap-
parently is too great for any working
understanding except on questions Of ns-
tional defense and the increase Of the
army and navy.
