MODERATE Protective DUTY
! NOW APPEARS AS POSSIBILITY
BY C..S. ALBERT
Star-BuIIetin CorrespondenceI

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Republi-
can senators have taken new lease
on hope and believe they will be able
to accomplish some results in the di
rection of imposing a moderate pro
tective duty on sugar. The same optL
mism extends to wool and other fea-
lures of the Underwood Simmons bill.
This. conclusion was reached several
days after the Democratic caucus com
pleted its work, and after the meas
ure had been favorably reported from
the finance committee.
Senator Smoot made careful in
vestigation of the situation and sub
seQuentIy gave out an interview
wherein he expressed the firm belief
that enough of the dissatisfied Demo
Gratis would cooperate with the Re-
publicans to place duty on sugar
and wool. He was positive this could
be done in the senate and the bill sent
back to the house for concurrence in
the various amendments added. He
was not sure that the house would
not later force the senate to recede
from. it's position and have sugar and
wool on the free list. This would fol-
low the conference on the disputed
items.
In any event, more encouragement
is extended by Republican senators
now than at any previous time since
the ways and means committee issu-
ed its pronouncement in favor of free
sugar and wool. 1t may mean no spe-

The subject has been carefully dis.
cussed by Mr.. Smoot with the FIVE
Democratic senators who decline to

Gus Their conversation satisfied the
Utah senator that they would vote for
Republican amendments on sugar and

ing Democrats. They will insist on
a much lower rate. The duty sug.
gested by Senator Shafroth amount to
about so cents per hundred pounds.
Senators Newlands, Ransdell and
Thornton, favor a higher rate than so
cents, but believe it can be fixed be
low the point indicated by Mr.. Bris-
tow, and which he calls an irreducible
minimum.
In the opinion of Mr. Bristow the

proposed by Mr. Bristow is rejected

GiUen Power to

Legal Opinion Stops Mayor
from Appointing Successor
to ]. j. Smiddy

Emphatic IN his statement as to
what Official falls the right to appoint
the successor of Road Supervisor j.
]. Smiddy, whose resignation takes
effect the last of this month, p L.
Weaver. first deputy city and county
attorney. presented Mayor Joseph j..
Fern with lengthy legal opinion to-
day, which meets with the displeas-
ure of the city's chief executive.
In his opinion Attorney Weaver
strongly affirms that the mayor has
not the legal right to appoint an as
sistant of the city and county engi-
neer, but that the latter official, by
virtue of an ordinance passed by the
supervisors, has the authority toname
the successor of Smiddy.
So long as this ordinance is on the
books, says the deputy city and coun-
ty attorney, the mayor will be oDhged
to keep his hands off the appointments
of City and County Engineer White
houses assistants, and his appoint
i've power, restored to him by the last
legislature must be confined to such
cases where election or appointment
is not otherwise provided for by this
charter or by law.
Mayor Fern is displeased with the
opinion, and he has made no attempt
TO ceaceal his displeasure. That he
will ignore it, however, may be
strongly doubted. Intimations he
made this afternoon bear strongly on
the vlAdiction that he will seek to
cause the ordinance giving the city
and county engineer the power to ap-
pcint his assistants to be repealed,
and in that way vest the appointive
power over the position of the road
supervisor with himself.
That the opinion of Mr.. Weaver is
the forerunner of more city and coun-
ty official squabbles also seems to be
clear. Mayor Fern discussed the opin-
ion with Supervisor Mcclellan this af-
ternoon, and though he announced no
conclusion as to what he plans to do,
he expressed himself in favor of re-
pealing the ordinance, which would
mean another bone of contention for
the supervisors and city and county
officials generally
Mayor Fern did not wish to give
out the opinion and justified his re-
luctance Of making it public by stat
ing that he had called for it for his
own personal wish, desiring to be

which lie on opposite sides of the
broad Pacific.
The speaker touched rrst on the
pleasure that such a hearty welcome
from the last outpost of the United
States. afforded the travelef to foreign
lands. Then, taking up the thread of
his discourse, he said that it was ap-
propriate in a gathering composed
of men and women whose
ancestors helped to lay the founda-
tions of great and free nation, that
the teachings and ideals for which the
society stood should be carefully not
ed, with reference to the effect on the
policy of the nation today.
