GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
SAYS MIR. LA TOILETTE

WASHINGTON Sept. a.
When Senator La Toilette was
asked tonight his reasons for
voting for the Democratic tariff
bill, he replied;
II think my discussion of the
schedules disclosed my reasons.
While from a political point of
view, 1t meant a very great per-
sonal sacrifice to vote for the
bill, there was that within me
which urged me irresistibly to
the step.
The Aldrich tariff law was
little short of a crime perpe-
trated upon the people OF this
country, and long have be-
lieved it my duty to do all in my
pewar to wipe it out of exis-
ence.
THE bill for which voted
today is not a Democratic tariff
measure, 1t is a protection bill.
1t contains provisions for free
sugar and free wool. of course.
to which I do not agree. but
they were fixed as matters of
policy outside OF the legislative
branch of the government. II
you araiyZe the Dill, you Will
find that practically all of the
other schedules were made up
with the protective policy in
view. The changes made by the
senate committee in the house
bill also adjusted rates to the
protection of American indus
try. The result is a bill which
on the whole Is a tremendous
improvement over the present
tariff law"

1T IS RIDICULOUS.
The Charges of Reno Folks Against
Topeka on Fair Project.

Il A Borman, president of the Kan
sas State Fair association, emphatical-
ly denies that any effort is being made
in Reno county on the part of himself
or other Topekans to kill the bond
issue proposition that will enable the
county, if it carries, to present grounds
to the state for fair purposes This
denial is made in consideration of the
fact that the Hutchinson News on
Thursday came out with a statement
that an organized effort is being made
by Topekans to defeat the bond issue.
The article reads: IF Reno county
turns it down now there will never be
another chance offered this county to
have state fair.
And so there is no wonder that
every Topeka newspaper and period
ica1 solicitor, every Topeka agent and
peddler just happens to be working in
Reno county this week, incidentally
talking state fair, and attempting in
every possible way, to persuade Reno
people, to vote against the state fair
levy"
AS a matter of fact the bill passed
by the legislature and which was in
troduced by Senator Carey, makes it
possible if the county bond issue fails,
for the city commissioners to call an
election, or the mayor and commits
sioners to levy a tar to cover the pur-
chase price OF the properly OF the
county commissioners to do the same
thing. In the face of this it will be
foolish for Topeka to make a fight
against the bond issue, according to
Mr.. Borman.
The Hutchinson paper also criticises
the local fair management for using
the name Kansas State Fair aSsocia-
ton. Mr.. Borman said today: THE
state of Kansas granted this institution
a charter in that name and we have
right to use the name. Well continue
to do so until the state of Kansas takes
it away from u.s."

their notice.
Sherman pleaded guilty of receiv-
ing two cases of stolen dress goods

LOOK To KANSAS.
Golfers Weekly Praises State for
Fight on Arson.

Kansas will do great things in the
question of settling insurance troubles
and fighting the spread of arson, ac-
cording to Arthur E. McFarlane,
author of the recent arson stories in
Golfers Weekly. In a letter to 1nSur-
ance Commissioner Ike S. Lewis, the
Collier man praises the work in Kan
sas and declares that he believes Lew
is is working on the right system to
prevent fire losses.
The McFarlane letter came as re-
suit of the recent circular issued by
superintendent Lewis in which he de-
clared against the over insurance of
perishable property by insurance
writer's. Following the receipt of this
circular, McFarlane wrote Lewis this
letter:
Il was just on the point of writing
to ask for a copy of your recent cir
cular to insurance companies. I can
see how much splendid work you are
going to do for Kansas, merely by the
exercise of pluck and honesty. Our
fire problem is at heart almost wholly
an insurance problem, and if we will
take hold of it in that way, it will very
quickly cease to be the great myster-
ious bugabOo which it is at present.

CAUCUS In FORM
Only One Substantial Change
in Tariff Bill to Date.
Democrats Hope to Complete
Revision by Night.

Washington, April 19.-Democrats of
the house continued their caucus on
tariff revision today with the expecta-
ton of completing by nightfall the
administrative provisions of the bill and
d1sposlng IF numerous ways and means
committee amendments. These amend
ments do not affect the substance of
the tariff kill to any extent. So far
the only substantial change made in
the tariff bill has been the transfer of
shoe machinery to the free list.
The Republicans of the ways and
means committee also conferred today
over the amendments that they propose
to offer as substitutes for the Demo-
crat wool and cotton schedules.
The ways and means committee ma
Jority agree today to an amendment
to transfer buckwheat and rye to the
free list and to add savings banks mot
conducted for profit to the list of
exemption from the operation of the
income tax. They were reported later
to the caucus There was no change
In the items of wheat on which the
m1llers have been making a great
fight because of the putting of flour on
the free list. When the caucus assem-
bled Democrat Leader Underwood said
he expected the tariff bill would be
complete in caucus by tonight. After
it is amended it will be reintroduced in
the house Monday and according to
present plans voted on by the entire
mem bership of the ways and means
committee Tuesday and probably taken
up for consideration by the house
Wednesday.
The Democrat caucus voted down
proposal by Representative Broussard of
Louisiana to require the administration
to abrogate the treaty with Cuba which
since 1904 has given a 20 per cent prefer
entail tariff rate to cuban sugar. Bros
sard said the Cuban minister had advised
the state department that the treaty
should be adjusted to new conditions that
would arise under the tariff revision.
The caucus rejected amend
ment by LEngle of Florida to impose an
internal revenue tax equal to the tariff
duty on each manufacturer who does not
pay living wages, employs foreigners, or
works employees excessively.
