IMPORTANT CONFERENCE or BOTH

CALLED TO DISCUSS PROMPT

MEXICO READY TO
take ADVANTAGE

Washington, d. c., March 19-Quick
tariff revision along lines acceptable
to the Democratic leaders of both
houses of congress was the object of
the ranking tariff reyisionists of the
party in the senate and the house.
The conference, marking the compile
ton of the tariff revision bill in all
essential particulars by the house
ways and means committee, was de-
signed as move to get together on
common ground and to smooth the
way for the launching of the first
Democratic tariff in many years un-
der a policy of swift, harmonious ac-
ton
A conference later between Sena-
tors Simmons, Hoke, Smith, Williams,
Hughes and Chairman Underwood
and other members of the house ways
and means committee resulted in
general understanding that tariff
rates will be thorough, jointly by the
house and senate committees and
President Wilson before the tariff re-
vision actually begins in the house.
The four senators, all members of
the finance committee, took up a
number of contested questions con-
cerning tariff rates today. But no eff
fort to compromise differences and
reach definite conclusions was made.
1t is planned to have a number of con-
ferences between the two houses be-
ginning in about ten days when the
tariff bills will be considered in de.
tail

tracts already are being written by
Mexican cattle raisers designed to
absorb any decrease in tariff rates
which the special session of congress
may make in the cattle list, according
to County Judge w. w. Bogel of Mar
ia, Texas, who is here attending the
Texas Cattle Raisers annual conven-
ton.
Marta is the county seat OF Presidio
one of the big Texas border counties.
Judge Bogel said Mexican cattlemen
