TARIFF REVISION
STARTS TODAY
Democrats Face Internal Strife
Over Plan to Create
Big Free List.
SIXTEEN BILLS PLANNED
Wilson to Be Asked to Limit Work Of
Special Session to Revenue
Matters.

Work will be begun in earnest to-day
on the tariff revision programme by the
Democratic members OF the Ways ana
Means Committee. The forthcoming ~
vision Will be embodied in sixteen bills.
fourteen dealing with schedules of the
present law. one bill for FREQ list. ana
another carrying the administrative fea-
lures Of the proposed tariff act. 1t II
| already apparent that in committee, as
well as in the House. every one OF these
bills will be fought with great bitterness.
The Democrats from Louisiana and other
Southern States, interested IN protective
rates on certain articles, have determined
to form an alliance with their party
brethren from the West and tho North
who are opposed to the low tariff theories
of the majority OF the Committee on
Ways and Means.
The business of the Democrats in re-
vising the tariff in this instance will be
a more serious proceeding than 1t was
year ago. The Underwood bills were
put through in the last Congress in the
knowledge that President Taft would
veto all Of them. Therefore. Mr.. Under
wood and his associates, in an effort to
make capital for the ensuing campaign.
took liberties with their revision bills
that would not have been countenanced
n there hdQ Deen tne suSnlest
for belief that any OF them would be
approved by the Republican President
It's different now. The Senate is DEM
ocratic and so is the President and tho
Democratic House must proceed accord
ingly.
May Join Republican,.
New England Democrats are opposed
TO cuts in the rates on manufactured
products that are understood to be con-
templated by the majority OF the COM
mittee. Democrats from the West and
North balk at proposals that have been
made for substantial reductions in the
rates on farm products. Democrats from
both South and West intend to combine
against any effort that may be made
TO transfer lumber to the free list. DEM
Ocrats from Louisiana, Florida, and GER
tain other States will fight tooth and
nail the proposal to place sugar. rice
and semi-tropical fruits on the free list.
While these members are In the minority.
il is possible for them. by combining
with the Republicans. who will enter
with enthusiasm into any such coalition
that may be formed within tte ma
Jorty, to make a great deal of trouble
for Leader Underwood and his lieuten-
ants 1t was the possibility OF difficult
ties along these lines that persuaded the
leaders to insist upon the appointment
OF regulars to the vacancies on the
Ways and Means Committee.
President Wilson will be strongly
urged to ask Congress TO limit its work
at the special session to the tariff re-
vision bills Fear Is expressed that II
other legislation is taken up that conf
hinations may be made that will render
II exceedingly difficult for the party to
pu, through satisfactory tarir Law.

tariff is about all that Congress can
reasonably be expected to do at a single
session.

Prodigality.

Watch the innumerable leaves
Of all the countless trees;
Behold the masses of the flowers
Unseen on vagrant leas,
The wayside gold, the purple heath,
The wood flowers sweet and wild,
The tropic jungle's tangled growth,
The mountain masses piled;
Behold the cataracts tumbling down
Wild places to the sea;
Behold the monstrous weight of
waves
In their immensely;
What waste of sunshine and of heat
In desert places bare;
What opulence of color lost
Where none will heed or care;
What dappled glades no eye will see
Where fairest masses cling;
What spaces vast no foot will tread
And where no birds will sing;
Beneath the sea what coral caves,
What tintS of varied light,
What complex forms of fin and fish
Would greet our dazzled sight;
And in this prodigality
The comfort for thy lot
Mid so much lavish, loving waste
Man will not be forgot,
This affiuence of giving, yet
Will overflow our needs.
And Gods supernal bounty shame
Our lives of selfish deeds.
