Real Work Starts in Congress
Today.
Underwood Measures Likely to
Be Accepted.
DEMOCRATS TO REORGANIzE
Urge That Other Business Be
Postponed.
Extra Session Should Be De.
voted to Tariff Only.

Washington. March with the
mouse ways and means committee
meeting to organize, the real tariff
work of the Sixty-third congress be-
gan today. With only three new mem
bers on the Democratic side of the
committee, it seemed practically GER
tain that the tariff measures framed
under the supervision of Majority
Leader Underwood during the last
session would be accepted by the new
committee and laid before the caucus
before the extra session begins April l.
In addition to its tariff work, the
committee is confronted by the pro-
blem of reorganizing the entire Demo-
cratic side of the house through its
functions as committee on commit
tees The committee appointments are
expected to develop some lively con-
tests, and tt > leaders are inclined to
defer action on them as long as possi-
ble- Representative Underwood and
his assistants are of the opinion that
the Democrats should get down to
work on the tariff and let all other
questions go until the regular session
next December. With this program in
mind it has even been suggested that
only the necessary committees, appro-
priationS to take care of the two SUD-
W
sion, enrolled bills and accounts nee
essary to care for the routine of the
house, be organized at the extra ses-
sion. This would defer any trouble
over appointments until the tariff was
out of the way.
There is some sentiment in the house,
however, in favor of immediate cur
rency legislation arising from an i'm
preston that President Wilson desires
early action in that direction. Whether
Representative Carter Glass. who will
be chairman of the banking and cur
rency committee of the new congress,
will be allowed to bring in his bill at
the extra session will rest largely with
the president, it is said, although the
house leaders are urging Mr.. Wilson to
confine the activities of the extra ses-
sion to the tariff.
The usual crop of lobbyists is ap-
pearing in Washington to watch the
ways and means committee. Organized
opposition will combat any radical tar
iff bills in the house and will follow
them to the senate, where strenuous
effort will be made to temper any great
reductions.
President Wilson's present purpose, it
was learned today, is to accept the
proposal of the house leaders and rec
ommend that the tariff alone be acted
upon at the extra session of congress.

TO RETAIN PLACE
Representative NeeIy of Kan
saS on Banking Committee.
Other Members From State
Will Fare Well.

Washington. March THAT Kansas
members of congress will fare eXcep-
tionaIly well in the way of committee
appointments is the belief of political
leaders who are in close touch with
the affairs of the new congress. 1t is
reported that Representative Neely will
retain his place in the committee on
currency and banking. which position
gave him a hand in the money trust
investigation and places him in a posi-
ton to further legislation which he
has in mind.
Representative Taggart will go to the
judiciary committee which his legal ex-
perience makes a fitting place for him.
Taggart's place on the committee on
agriculture will go to Helvering, of
Kansas, who, having an agricultural
section is pleased with the assignment.
Representative Connolly will have a
place on the committee on irrigation
which has much to do with problems in
which Mr.. Connelly's district, north
west Kansas, is vitality interested.
Representative Doolittle has expressed
no preference as to his assignment and
it is not yet known where he will be
nlaced.

HAVE LARGE LIST
Farmers to Testify in Omaha
Harvester Suit.
VIII Require Ten Days More to
Take Testimony.

Omaha, Neb., March THE federal
court room was again full of imple-
ment dealers waiting to testify when
Special Examiner Taylor began taking
testimony for the defense in the gov
ernment's suit against the Interna-
tional Harvester company, charged
with violating the Sherman antitrust
law Judge J. G. McHugh, counsel for
the defense, said he believed ten days
more would be required to hear all
the witnesses who have been called
Many of them are coming from points
up to 500 miles from Omaha More
farmers are on the list of those to
be heard and some of them were ex-
pected to be called during the day
Two farmers were called yesterday to
testify in the defense in the suit The
government has contended that har-
vesting implements composed half of
the machinery required by a farmer
These two men, both well to do, give
figures to show that harvesting ma
chinery represented only three-tenths
of the value of their farm machinery.
George Swanson of Crawford, Neb,
testified he owned 1000 acres of land
800 acres under cultivation He valued
his farm implements at So, $50, of which
amount harvesting implements repre-
sented $730. His testimony also brought
out something ABOUT the nigh cost of
living He said he had been receiving
for the last two years about double
the price of ten years ago for what
he sold, while prices for what he
bought, including machinery, had ad-
vanced insignificantly, and in many
instances declined.
w. D. Howell, who farms 500 acres
in Thomas county, gave figures show
ing similar proportions. He owns an
automobile and is county commits
sioner.
Hugh McCarger created a stir when
he declared he was opposed to the
trust.

are enfranchised. The Hungarian
capital was crowded with troops dur
ing the debate, in consequence of
threats by the Socialists to begin a
strike throughout the country. This
was to be done in protest to the gov
ernment's attitude against complete
universal suffrage. No disturbances
occurred during the early part of the
day, the populace being overawed by
the great display Of force.
On several occasions during the past
year riotous scenes have occurred in
the lower house eliminating several
times in free fights. On September
II police were called into the chamber
to expel the opposition led by Count
Apponyi and Count Zichy. A desper-
ate struggle ensued before they were
finally elected.
On October 80 further riots occurred
when the opposition led by Apponyi
and Francis Kossuth unSuccesSfully
attempted to force their way through
a military guard surrounding the par
lament. Count Tissa, the speaker of
the lower house, is the special object
of the hatred of the opposition owing
to his strong objection to universal
suffrage. On June Z last Deputy
Kovics attempted to assassinate him
while he occupied the chair.

he had been offered either of these
amounts to accomplish the results de-

Hollowell said the man had called him
with him. When he met him the man
said: tom. I want to talk turkey 70

The conference measure, however, does
not permit the fire marshal to arb1-
trarily condemn buildings, but pro-
vides that he may make inspections
and recommendations to proper Off
cials and that this information shall
be considered by the bodies to whom
such reports are made.
Under the new law a fire marshal
shall be appointed bv the governor
who shall draw a salary of $1,000
year and expenses. 1t also provides
for a deputy fire marshal at $500
year.
1t is generally believed that if the
new law is enacted, that Harrison
Parkman, OF Emporia, will be named
by Governor Hodges as the first fire
marshal of Kansas. Friends of Rep
resentative Charles n. Miller, of OF
tawa county, are urging his appoint
ment as deputy fire marshal.
Another important and widely de-
manded measure to fail of passage as
a constitutional amendment was the
fOur-year term for state officers.

 Thousands of bushels of fruits and vegetables went to waste in Texas this year for laek of a profit able demand.
 Put these two facts together and you have an explanation of a con siderable item in the cost of living u this state.
 Of course, if we can our own fruits and vegetables the market oi the Baltimore cannefs will be somewhat lessened in area. But we are under no obligation to furnish a market for Baltimore canners; we are under obligation to save all we can for our own state and our own househOld
 There is no fine art in canning fruits and Vegetaples. Any skillfui housewife can do it; any commun- fly can organize a company to do inc business on a commerclai scale, in fact, many fruit farmers are can ming and selling their own pro ducts.
 We don't try-thats all. We arc sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to Baltimore every year which would stay at home if our people would only practice little enterprise.
