NUISANCE BILL HAS
A NARROW ESCAPE
McCormick's Coup Features
Tennessee Extra Ses-
sion Yesterday

Nashville. October I5--The nuisance
bill, one of the law enforcement measures,
had a narrow escape from defeat in the
house of representatives today, this be-
ing the feature of the days session. The
coup that came very near costing the
bill it's chance for consideration at the
extra session was engineered by Repre-
sentative Mccormick of Shelby county.
When a nuisance bill introduced by the
Shelby and Davidson county delegations
came up ON second reading, Mr.. McCor-
mick sauntered toward the speaker s
desk and in a non-committal voice asked
! that it be rejected. On viva voce vote
Speaker Pro Tenn Mcfarland declared
that the motion had carried. BY this time
fusion leaders had discovered that to kill
the bill would be to prevent the consid-
alton of the other nuisance bill, as no
two measures ON the same subject can
be disposed of at an extraordinary ses-
sion. There was a clamor for asrecord
20 members springing to their feet at once
Mr.. Mccormick insisted that the only par
liamentary action that could be taken was
to take the measure from the table which
would have required a two-thirds vote.
After considerable debate Mr.. Mcfarland
chair and by vote of 60 to 40 the bill
was referred to committee. Following
this the house by large vote passed a
resolution exonerating Mr.. Mcfarland
from any attempt to defeat the nuisance
bill by summary action as speaker. The
Shelby nuisance bill excluded Shelby and
Davidson counties from it's provisions.
The senate today appointed a COM
mittee to investigate charges made by
Senator Hare to the effect that he was
Informed, prior to the meeting of the gen.
eral assembly, that he could secure $500
by agreeing to absent himself from the
senate during the extra session. This
committee met this afternoon and sub
poenaed number of witnesses. The name
of the person who is said to have offered
the bribe has not been dfvulged.
A test vote today showed that 20 MEM
bers of the house would probably vote
for the passage of the law enforcement
bills out of a total of 9S. Friends of the
measures now claim that they are certain
of passage il brought to final vote

High Prices and the Tariff.

Democrats drive their trick for low
ering the tariff "in order to reduce
prices" just as if they really believed
that the high cost Of living was
caused solely by the protective tariff.
II must be admitted thai they have
made good many people believe it.
Just as have certain financial doctors
once convinced many that the low
cost of living was due to closing the
minis to the free coinage of silver
The federal governments reports
disclose the fact that on January /.
1912, there were 5S,000,000 head of
cattle on American farms, as against
70, 100000 in 1907 Everybody knows,
who is informed on the subject, that
there has been decided diminuticn
in the cattle supply, for one reason
and another, in the last few years.
just as people know that consumption
of other staple articles is outstripping
production. Unless the Democrats
can hope to win their case ultimately
on sophistry, they are very foolish to
begin it on that. The probabilities are
that the general range of the cost of
living will not be materially lowered
by the forthcoming tariff act.
