THE QUESTION OF SINGLE BILL
OR SCHEDULE BY SCHEDULE
TAKEN UP.
iE DIPLOMATIC
POSTS
President Confers With Senators and
Representatives on Matters-Faii-
ure to Secure Men For Foreign
Posts Gives Him Much Concern.

Washington. - President Wilson
considers the foremost task of his Ad-
ministration-revisio of the tariff.
He had long conference at the
White House with Representative Os-
car w. Underwood, the Democratic
majority leader in the House, and
canvassed not only the details of the
tariff bill drawn by the Ways and
Means Committee, but gave consider
alton also to the strategy necessary
to steer the tariff question speedily
and effectively through both houses of
Congress.
The question admittedly uppermost
in the minds of members of Congress
now is whether the tariff should be
revised schedule by schedule Or in a
single tariff. bill. The party caucus
will decide the issue, but the wishes
of the President are being consulted
by Democratic leaders. The idea OF
coming to an agreement on single
measure carrying with it the weight
of the Administrations approval has
appealed strongly to the President be-
cause it suggested more expeditions
action and the possibility of legisla-
ton on currency and other questions
before the adjournment of the extra
session. Close friends and supporters
of Mr.. Wilson both in the House and
Senate, however, openly have been
questioning the advisability of
single tariff bill, renewing the objec-
ton hitherto raised that sectional in
terests might bring about enough de-
fections among the Democrats in the
Senate to defeat. the measure there.
They have urged that by the schedule
by-schedule plan enough Republican
votes can be enlisted on those sched-
ules wherein there are Democratic
losses, to pass them without difficulty
though not as quickly.
While Representative Underwood
has been understood of late to favor
the single tariff bill idea, it is known
that other Democratic leaders in the
House and members of the Ways and
Means Committee hold the opposite
view and have hoped to convert Mr..
Underwood to their way of thinking.
The President discussed the tariff
with Senators Gore of Oklahoma and
Hughes of New jersey.

r. p. A. State Convention.

National Chairman B. H. Marsh, Of
the Travellers Protective Association,
at Raleigh for day or two from Win
ston- Salem, says there is gratifyingly
good outlook for the T. P. A. State
Convention to assemble in Greensboro
in May. At the last state convention
it was determined to have 1900 mem
bers by the next annual session and
the enrolment now is just 1870, lack
ing just 80 members of the coveted
number. Mr. Marsh thinks the goal
in membership will be reached before
the Greensboro convention. The Raj
eigh post now has nearly 100 mem
bers and is quite active under the
presidency of Jno. w. Cross with Mr.
Glen Wilder as secretary.

Government Engineers Have Recon-.
$ mended the Organization of a
Drainage District in Burke.

Rale1gh.-A special from Washing.
ton states that the organization of a
drainage district under the state law
with the cooperation of all the land
owners along the bottom lands of the
creek, each to pay his proporticnate
part OF the cost, is recommended in
the report of an examination of Silver
Creek, Burke County, by Agricultural
Department Engineers Yarnell and
Lynde, made at the request of Rep
resentative Webb.
The engineers recommend that the
channel be widened to IS feet and
brought to depth of eight feet, at
an estimated cost of $1,000. In the
opinion of the engineers, If the work
recommended is done, the land along
the banks of Silver Creek will in
rease from 400 to 500 per cent.
There is about 1000 acres Of bot
tom land in the proposed drainage
district now worth approximately $25
an acre but if properly drained it
would be worth at least 500 an acre.
The report of the engineers says
in part:
THE examination was made afoot,
in company with w. A. Walton, one
of the land owners along the creek.
Starting at point just above Nc
Elrath's dam about six miles above
it's outlet, the creek was traversed
to its mouth. The watersheds of Sill
yer Greek are naturally rolling and
billy, and the run-off is very rapid.
1t is estimated that there is about
1000 acres of bottom lands in the
proposed district. The soil is rich and
needs little il any fertilizer 1t pos
sesses much greater fertility than
do the upland suits, but there is al
ways the possibility of the complete
loss of the crop by overflow. Almost
any rainfall of consequence causes
the creek to overflow, not only dam
aging the land and crops but also de-
posting sand.
Almost all the bottom land was
once in cultivation, but in recent years
owing to the uncertainty of getting a
CROP, it has been abandoned to a great
extent. Owing to lack of drainage
the uplands are now practically use
less.

Rritishers Seem Much Surprised.


London.-The House of Commons
was astonished when informed by
Francis Acland, Parliamentary Under
Secretary for Fofeign Affairs, that the
British Government had been left to
CLEAN from the newspapers it's only
knowledge of the change in the Ameri-
can Governments attitude toward the
Chinese loan. Mr.. Achland said that
as late as March 3, the American Min
lister at Picking, acting on the instruc-
lions of his Government, joined the
Ministers of other Powers in present
ing to China purposals regarding the
loan. He continued: "The British
Government has since then had no in
timation of any kind from the Govern
ment of the United States that the
American official attitude toward the
Chinese loan has undergone a change
and I have no information about the
matter except what have read in the
newspapers" :.

New Act Transfers Duty.

Through all the years past it has
