Montana Senator's Enliven Debate In
Democratic Caucus.

montana senators enIiven Debate In
Democratic Caucus.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Sen ator
Myers and his colleague Senator
Walsh, olashed in the democr attic
caucus yesterday, producing the first
sensation that has developed since
the caucus began. it's review of the
tariff bill. The wool and sugar sched-
ules OF the Underwood bill were the
basis OF their disagreement and they
demonstr ated that theyl are as far
apart on these two items as two demo-
Gratis could be. AS each senator
claimed to represent the sentiment In
his state the caucus was left In con-
fusion as TO what Montana really
wants in the way OF revision of the
wool and sugar schedules OF the OK.
isting tariff law.
Senator Myers stood unequivocally
by President Wilson's tariff.program.
He asserted that nearly all the news
papers OF Montana were for free wool
and sugar and be read several editori.
ais along this line, among them be-
ing one from the Helena Independent,
of which Senator Walsh is part
owner.
Senator Walsh assailed the Wilson
tariff program, while Sen stor Myers
said be personally favored free wool
and free sugar. Sen stor Walsh advo.
Gated revenue duty on both commod-
ities. Senator Myers contended th at
the overwhelming sentiment in Mon.
tana ia favorable to free wool and free
sugar Senator Walsh maintained
hat free listing OF these commodities
will disrupt the gdemocratic party OF
Montana and may turn the state over
to the repu blicans. Senator Myers
declared sugar ard wool are necessi-
ties of life and as such should be free
listed. Senator Walsh maintained
free listing OF wool and sugar will
work ruin to two leading industries of
his state. Senat Myers main. aimed
that the wool and sugar schedules of
the Underwood bill are consistent with
the Baltimore platform. Senator
Walsh took the opposite view.
Senator Walsh consumed in all
about two hours. He was listened to
by Senator Myers, who also spoke for
nearly two hours, contradictinR much
that bis colleague had said, and tax.
tng issue with him on every point be

sem ators declared should enter free OF
duty to aid In reducing the cost OF
living.
Senator Ashurst brought the debate
to climax with an amendment to
transfer to the free list all wooden
manufactures such as blankets, cloth
ready made clothing, stockings and
the like. The amendment was debated
until ! O'Clock when all proposals to
place any woolen manufactured goods
on the free list were voted down. No

position to hasten its work, and he be-
lieved the bill could be completed by

Currency Committee Receives Advice
Upon Proposed Legislation.

SPOU UVOpVO0O 10Au9u0tSOuus
WASHINGTON. June 28. - Officials
engaged 10 the prepsr asion of the new
currency reform bill are convinced
that Americans have more varied ideas
upon the money question than upon
any other before congress. Floods Of
letters have come to house and senate
currency committees and the executive
departments, since the general scope
Of bill became known.
A representative of the ''People's
Power League recently proposed to
q senator that the treasury should is.
sue money directly to the citizens up.
on the value of land or property an
individual might own. Another pro-
position was that building and loan
ascot ations should be taken In under
the new currency plan. and have the
same right as national and state banks
to secure the proposed new currency.
One scheme offered calls for . direct
issue of currency, under proper safe.
guards, upon farm land values. Loans
by the government to farmers at four
per cent on their land was proposed
by another man who suggested the
government should get the ssary
money for that by issuing bonds.
Several currency "experts" have
recommended that the governmen,
make straight. out iesue of "aat''
money secured by the general credi,
Of the government.
