Virginia Contention.

.rgmia's contention is that under
the original decision of the court of
March 6, 1911, there is nothin left
to determine but the amount OF in.
terest due from West Virginia and
that the debt commission from the
latter state having refused to consid-
er the suit in that restricted sense,
a master should be appointed to de-
termine and report to the court the
amount of interest due. Also coun-
sci for Virginia charged that due dill
igence' had not been exercised by
West Virginia in expeditng the case
to a final settlement.
West Virginia replies in. the briefs
submitted that there has been no
delay upon her part, that she pro
ceeded as expediently and as easily
as possible under her constitution
and her laws. She dsavows that only
the question of interest remains to
be agreed upon, claiming that in the
courts opinion it is expressly stated
that there are other matters to be
considered beside the question of in.
terest if any interest at all should
be allowed.

Another chapter in the suit OF Vir-

ginia's motion for the determinatien
Of the case. and to determine all ques-
tons left open Or undetermined by
the decision of March 6. 1911. In that
opinion, with respect to the basis OF
liability the court said: We have
given our decision with respect to the
basis of liability and the share OF the
principal of the debt that West Vir-
ginia assumed In any event. before
we could put our Judgment in the
form of final decree, there would be
figures to be agreed upon or to be
ascertained by reference to a master.
Among other things there still re.

Legislating by Caucus.

Il do not believe in legislating by means
of caucus. No one has the right to
surrender mis- views either to secret
caucus or to an individual, however
prominent, as has been done in the case
of this bill. l do not see how the fact
that party caucus had passed on that
measure can relieve a member of this
body from his responsibility, and l do
not believe that the people of this coun-
try will consider that it does

discriminate against the farmers. Why
it should be necessary to cut the duties
which may benefit him lower than those

been made plain by those responsible for
this bill
Senator Gronna declared that the demo-
cratic argument that the removal of
duties on farm. products is going to give
the consumer cheaper food was mis-
take in a large measure. He said that in
discriminating against the farmer in
levying tariff duties the democrats are
adopting policy not pursued by any
other nation capable of producing enough
food for its own people. He gave a de-
tailed statement of the duties under the
present law, on the duties on agricultural
products under the Wilson law and under
the proposed tariff bill, showing that
lower rates had been placed in the pres
ent bill than in any previous law.

North Dakota Senator Charges
Discrimination in Reduction
of Tariff Rates.
MANY FARM PRODUCTS
PLACED ON FREE LIST
Asks Why Duties Which May Bene-
fit Them Are Cut Lower Than
Those for Manufacturers.

y vigorous protest against the treat
ment allotted to the farmers of the ma
ton in the democratic tariff bill was de-
livered in the Senate today by Senator
Gronna Of North Dakota He declared
that the farmers had been Disseminated
against in the reduction of tariff rates
all along the line, showing that in the
agricultural schedule, according to the
report of the finance committee, the
average rate of duty is 1921 per cent,
while the average of the entire bill is
2G-67 per cent. Senator Gronna pointed
out also that a large number of impor-
tant products of the farm have been
placed on the free list
Senator Gronna said, in part:
THE tariff bill now under consideration
has been framed by members of a party
which has proclaimed it's belief that pro-
lection is unjustifiable. At ...e same time
the spokesman of that party have not
followed their line Of reasoning to its
logical conclusion and declared for free
trade, but have insisted that they have
favored tariff for revenue.
whether they are able to see differ
ence between tariff when it Is levied
by a party believing in protection and
that same tariff when levied by a party
which denies a belief in that policy, or
whether the denial that they favor free
trade has been made because they
feared the political consequences. I shall
not undertake to say. Merely calling a
tariff a revenue tariff does not change
it's nature. 1t is protective to the same
extent whether found in an avOwed pro-
tectiye tariff measure. or in one alleged to
be for revenue only.
1T has been stated that this tariff bill
is a competitive bill. that these rates
are competitive instead of protective. 1
have not noticed. however, that any one
has undertaken to explain just what a
competitive tariff rate is. Most of the
rates in the present law should be called
competitive. as our imports show, for if
they were pi ohibitive there would be no
