Harmony in the House.
The first great caucus of the
Democrats Of the new house and
conferences which have followed
1T prove that thus far there Is a
promise of continued harmony of &C.
ton among the 200 . smbers of the
dominant party in the lower chamber
In caucusing and In comforting things
seem to have gone on smoothly, and
the Democratic leaders prophesy that
the party in the house will be united
on all matters pertaining to legisla-
ton.
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama will still maintain his place of
leadership in the house and his posi-
ton as chairman of the ways and
means committee. He has associated
with him on the committee Democrats
n tNhn
pretty generally throughout the coun-
try. The minority members OF the
committee, the Republicans and, pos
sibly, Progressive member. will not
be named until after the extra SEES
sion begins.
1t has been said time and again
that the tariff is local issue, this
remark having been made originally
by Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock, Dem
ocratic candidate for the presidency
against James A. Garfield. When
General Hancock said: 1.-THE tariff
is local issue he was teered at
all over the United States. The
jeering probably was the result of a
misunderstanding of just what the old
soldier meant Today Democrats, Re
publicans, high tariff men and low tar
if men say that events have vindi-
Gated Hancock and that the tariff is
the most specific kind of local issue.
All Sections Represented.
The ways and means committee
which will formulate the rev tariff
bills of congress Is divided in its Dem.
ocratic majority just about equal in a
sectional sense. All parts of the
United States are represented on it,
and if the tariff is a local issue, virtu-
ally all the localities, giving each one
wide territorial sweep, will be rep
resented. Here is the list of the mem
bers Of the majority of the ways and
means committee and the states from
which they come;
Oscar w. Underwood, Alabama.
chairman Francis Burton Harrison,
New York; Dorsey W. Shackleford,
Missouri; Claude Kitchin, North Caro-
lima Henry T. Rainey, Illinois; Fin.
coin Dixon, Indiana; Cordell Hull,
Tennessee; w S. Hammond. Mime
sofa; Andrew J Peters, Massachu-
sets; A. Mitchell Palmer. Pennsyl-
vania Timothy r. Ansberry., Ohio;
John S. Garner, Texas (new) James
W. Collier, Mississippi (new); Angus
tus o. Stanley, Kentucky new
These are the Democratic members
of the new ways and means commit
tee. The word new" appearing after
the names of three members does not
mean that they have just come into
congress, but that they are new mem
bers of the ways and means commit
tee chosen to fill vacancies
1t seems probable today that the mi
nority of the committee, the Repub-
lican members. whoever they are to
be, with the possible addition of a
Progressive or progressive Repub.
lican. will not go to the trouble of pre-
pairing a minority report on the tar.
