This is the first basic tariff change
to be planned by senate Democrats
since the Underwood bill came from
the house.
Whether raw materials and their
products are to be free listed or all
are to be made dutiable has not been
determined, but that all would be
treated alike was asserted by Sena-
tor John Sharp Williams. chairman of
the subcommittee which has the
schedule in hand. The decision to
squanze these schedules, 1t also was
reported, had been reached with the
knowledge Of the president and not
without his approval.

When Senator Williams was told of
IN al. lot hof
mittee had decided to put all live
stock and grains on the free list in
keeping with their products as they
are treated in the Underwood bill he
declared that there was no ground
for such report.
The fight over this feature of the
Underwood bill began in the house
and there was considerable Democrat.
ic opposition to the free listing OF
farm products, while the raw mate.

the senate would change the schedule,
most of them asserting that live stock

had heard nothing about them and
that he did not intend to take furthe,
part tn the tariff consideration until
the bill gets to conference.
| That there are to be q great many
changes in the bill in the senate was
admitted by Senator Simmons, chair
man of the finance committee. He
announced, however, that next
Wednesday the subcommittee would
begin framing the various schedules
and that they hoped to have the bill
ready for the finance committee by

said, would be called for consideration
of the bill about June and an eff

Cancellation and arbitration between
railroads and their employees
This Act has been in force since
1893 and in the past six years has

was involved.
The heads OF several large sys-
tens and various brotherhoods OF

agreed upon amendments which
would make the Act acceptable to

Some Suggestions Offered
Regarding City Lighting
Smaller Lamps Would Result in
Better Service. Archs Benefit
But a Few -

While the City Trustees are CON
,idering light and the service to the
people. several residents have sug-
gested that the arch lights be dis
posed OF and that a larger number OF
incandcscents be placed about the
city.
For the money that the city is pay
ing for arch lights three times the
number OF smaller lights could be
scattered about this town and make
il much more pleasant all round.
The arch light does its work all
right along the main street. Take
the back streets where the trees are
heavy the light is confined to the
point where it is set up. The same
power used ii distributed into small
er lights would illuminate far larg
or area and everyone would benefit.
IL is a noticeable fact that about the
only people who benefit by the arc
lights are those living within a
stones throw they have: plenty Of
light while the neighbor is in dark
ness.
II is a certainty that by dropping
off the archs and substituting many
smaller lights that the back streets
would be far better lighted. The cost
would not be any greater, il as great.
and twenty residents would benefit
where one gets service at present.
Ii it were not for the private lights
that are owned and turned on the
streets would be dark at night. I'm
