Washington. April 1.-THE tariff sit.
uation has narrowed down to the con.
troversy over the sugar schedule.
An investigation convinced President
Wilson that he will be able to obtain
free raw wool from congress. provid-
cd that issue Is not complicated by a
fight over the sugar schedule.
The problem before the administra.
ton, therefore, has resolved itself
into reaching some agreement with
the senators who are opposed to free
sugar. II President Wilson can
smooth the way so as to avoid fight
over the sugar schedule, the opposi.
tion against free wool, he has been in.
formed. will not be sufficient, stand.
Ing by itself, to prevent the passage
OF bill admitting this product with
out duty.
The sugar people, 1t is understood.
are willing to compromise on the
cent a pound rate, offered by Presi.
dent Wilson, but they balk at the pro.
vision which will put sugar automatic.
ally on the free list three years hence.
They contend that such a concession
on their part would amount merely TO
a postponement of the evil day.
At this time there are nine or 10
Democratic senators from sugar-pro-
ducing states who are opposed to free
sugar. Some of these are from the
western, states, where sugar beets
have become important farm prod.
ucts.
The Democrats control the senate
by margin of six. There is one Re.
publican, Pondexter Of Washington,
who, 1t is understood. would vote for
putting sugar on the free list Repre-
sentatives OF the southern sugar pro.
ducing states saw Preident Wilson
and suggested to him that the United
States follow the Canadian plan OF
taxing the raw product 25 cents hun
dred pounds. with the stipulation that
every producer who raised pound OF
sugar shall have the privilege of i'm.
porting one pound free.
President Wilson complained that
this plan would be unfair to the re.
finers. He already has mapped out a
plan Of action in the event that he Is
unable to reach any satisfactory un.
derstanding in regard to the sugar
schedule. He will urge the ways and
means committee to introduce tbs
free raw wool and free sugar sched.
ules as separate bills. and to embody
the rest of the tariff revision program
on which there seems to be essential
agreement in the party in single
measure. This course will avoid
jeopardizing the entire revision plan
on account of the fight over two
schedules.

"The Ohio relief commission Is Wis
Iting the stricken districts. Conditions
are worse so far as destruction of
property. paralysis of business and
devastation OF the homes Of the poor

1T is our Judgment that the govern

demolition are apparent, to devise
ways and means of preventing such
disasters in the future and caring for
vast reservoirs for the double purpose
of protection to property in the state
and conserving the water supply of

in the stricken districts.
Business for the time is crippled.
Fortunately the banking institutions
are In fine condition, and bankers In
other parts Of the state, in fact all
over the country, are giving such re-
lief as the conditions warrant. It Is
our belief, however, that the comp

AS one of the Reporter staff was
approaching the corner of Grand and
Third avenues Saturday morning, a
friend who was walking with him,
grabbed him by the arm and said,
Pinch me Bill, | want to know if |

pinched him and satisfied him that
ne was awake, then asked him what
vas troubling him and if his dream
came true. The friend said, Il thot

THE newspaper man looked, but be
ing used to seeing all manner of
things was not surprised when he
saw that handsome cop, TOD" Payne
all decked out with a new helmet,
uniform, belt, and club. When the
newspaper man came over on the east
side, he saw, Ed. Smith, the smiling
salesman at the Abel & PodaWiltz
Co.'S store standing behind the show
windows, with his head sticking out
looking up street, Wondering what
Ed. was hiding from and why he
was so carefully watching the street,
the newspaper man began rubbering.
Just a little way up the street was
Louis Painter, another adonis of the
police force and he was decked out
in the new uniform and swinging his
club as if he had done nothing else
all his life. Ed. wasn't asked what
he was hiding from, but he probably
was dazed when he saw the cop in
full uniform and thought he was in
Milwaukee.

any of them.
