RESTORE DUTY ON
FARMERS PRODUCTS

Washington, D. c.. June Flour
and meats will not remain on the free
list in the Underwood bill. Confronted
with the necessity of restoring them to
the dutiable list, or of free listing live
stock and the cereals from which the
food products are made. the democratic
members Of the finance committee
turned to the president for advice and
have decided that the farmers pro-
ducts cannot be free listed without In
curing political consequences that the
democratic leaders do not want to in
vite.
The political danger Of putting duty
on cattle, sheep and hogs, and the
grains and taking 1t off of meats and
bread stuffs, which apparently did not
influence the House democrats, infiu
enced the Senate democratic leaders
from the outset. The first step they
took in the matter was to decide that
there should be an equalization of du-
ties.
They found the president in agree
ment with them that duty on grain
and live stock, and free trade in meat
and flour. opened the door wide for the
beef trust and put the domestic mil
lers, particularly along the Canadian
border, at great disadvantage.

was due to the extremely light vote

as many saloons as possible in the city,

Investigators Find Deficit In
stead Of Surplus Heavy
Charges Passed to New
Administration.

Washington, June 2.Postmaster
General Rurleson this morning made
public report OF special investiya-
ton into postal affairs OF the postal
service charging that during former
Postmaster General Hitchcock's adj
ministration the service did not be-
come self-Supporting as was often as
serted, but that In 1911 there actually
was deficiency OF more than $75O.OOO.
The report charges that IAN appar-
Ient surplus was attained by unjusti-
that the efficiency and morale OF the
postal service were sacrificed to q
enforced policy of false
economy that showing of self
maintenance might be made. The re-
port attributes to that alleged condt-
ton. complaints against the service.
Hitchcock Jussled Figures.
Mr.. Hitchcock. during his adminis-
tration and in his reports. claimed
that in the year 1909 a deficiency of
Approximately $17.50O,000 had entirely
been eliminated and that.in the fiscal
year 1911 surplus OF more than
100000 was attained. The report OF
the survey made at the direction of
Mr.. Burleson says that Mt no time has
there been legitimate surplus In
postal revenues since 1883 and that
the postoffice department under Mr.
(HitchcOck's administration In 1911.
actually was under deficit OF more
than $760,0OO. In that connection the
report says;
ut is pointed out by the committee
that the published fiscal reports OF the
department stated the revenues
md the cost OF service on dissimilar
ihnd therefore, Incompatible bases
Revenues OF the postal service are al-'
most entirely collected In cash and.
consequently. relate properly to the
fiscal year for which the report 10
made But, the committee finds Il
has been the practice to compare these
pnly with payments actually made dur
ling the fiscal year, regardless OF OBJ
legations incurred in that Year. but
not to be paid until succeeding years"
Lemon For 6urleson.
Just before President Wilson took
lnffice the report says; Mr.. Hitchcock
lfilled long standing vacancies, made
postponed promotions and assumed
commitments to fixed charges for long
terms in such a way as to saddle the
new administration with the greatly
Increased expense during months. II
not years to come. More than 60
three days. The fiscal statement OF
| the postal service for 1912 purported
to show a deficit OF 81, 7S5.52S but that

Delay of promotions and filling Of
