THREE DISTINCT
ELEMENTS DEVELOP

Three distinct elements developed among
the democrats in the cotton futures fight.
One branch, led by Representative Hard
wick Of Georgia, demanded that the whole
subject be taken out of the tariff bill
and considered as q separate measure.
Another section led by Representative
Wingo of Arkansas insisted that the
House should accept the langnuage of
the Clarke amendment in the Senate. Rep
resentative Underwood headed the sup
porters of the compromise plan. Under
its terms the cotton future tax would be
nominal on actual trades. but all con-
tracts would have to specify government
grades of cotton and trading would be
closely regulated.
The tariff bill itself came In for warm
praise from all democrats. Representative
Underwood declared that in It's perfected
form it's average rates were lower than
either the House or Senate originally had
contemplated. and he insisted that busi-
ness conditions in the United States had

tariff revision that there would be little

UNDERWOOD GIVEN
GREAT OVATION AS
TARIFF FIGHT ENDS
ny c. e. STEWART

Washington, September 20.
tSpecial.)-When Oscar Underwood
took the floor today in the very
last scene in the last act of the
house of Representatives. is con-
cerned, his colleagues who have
stood 50 loyal ~ MIN IN the ssra-
dous fight for tariff reduction,
gave him a great ovation.
''The rates of the tariff bill AZ 1t
comes back to the House. for ap-
provai propose lower taxation
than any tariff bill In three qunr-
tcrs of a century," declared Mr..
Underwood and this statement was
the signal for another outburst of
applause.
The fight in the House over the
Clarke amendment and the substi-
tute offered by Mr. Underwood was,
however different matter. There
is wide difference of opinion
about the manner of regulating the
cotton exchanges, though there is
practically unanimous opinion
that there should be regulation.
Mr.. Underwood's substitute pre-
vailed In the House but there is
much doubt as TO the action of the
Senate.
Senator Smith of South Carolina,
the father of the Smith Lever pfop-
osition, from which the Underwood
substitute was drafted, said today:
Should there be no legislation at
this session upon this subject un-
doubtedly there Will be at the next
session and l believe that with the
time given to study the huge
questions involved law will then
be enacted which will reflect our
ideas"

ADVANCED RAILROAD
RATES ARE URGED BY
ELLIOTT IN SPEECH
President of New Haven
System Talks on Solution
of Railroad Problem
in This Country

Boston, September ga short route to
railroads of the country would be fur
nished by a positive declaration by fed
eral and state commissions. that rates
may be advanced, in the opinion of How
ard Elliott, the new president of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad.
Mr.. Elliott maze this statement tonight
of Commerce. in which he discussed the
future of the New Haven system. The
were dealt with at length by Mr.. Elliott,
who said in part
IF we are to continue to have privately
owned raiIroaos. supervised and regu-
lated by governmental authorities and if
we are to avoid ownership by the govern
ment. the owners and users of railroads
must all work together. Personally, l DO
not believe in government ownership in a
country like the United States, where
our political methods are still in need Of
Improvement. The policy of the govern
ment-national and state-during the last
% years seems to have been to decide
rate questions in the great majority Of
cases in such a way that rates rarely
were advanced and generally were re-
duced and to introduce rules. regulations
and methods that increased expense.
Naturally Feel Pressure
"The commissions naturally feel the
great pressure of the millions of users Of
the railroads for reduced rates and in
creased facilities. But if rates continue
to decline, or even remain on the present
level, and if expenses are increased by
higher wages and cost of materials and
by the introduction of different appliances
and facilities, more rapidly than the
roads can obtain money, then there is
but one result for some of the railroads
of the United States-and that is bank
ruptcy.
Il believe the commissioners who have
such gerat powers realize their RESPONSE
bility to the owners of the properties as
we'll as to the users and | hope earnestly
that they will give practical evidence of
their realization by permitting some ad-
vances in rates.
should the commissions-fed and
state-make positive declaration that
rates may be advanced so as to permit
the properties to meet all of their obliga-
tions, pay a fair return to stockholders
and leave balance for improvements,
they will do much for the entire country
Such declaration will at once inspire
confidence and give TO existing securities
a better standing than they now have
both here and in Europe, and will help
TO market new ecurities upon an interest
basis more favorable than is now possi-
BILE, because of the uneasiness in the
minds of investors about the future net
earnings of the railroads.

Chairman Simmons of the finance COM
mittee unless there are unlocked for
developments. Several democratic SEN
ators who are dissatisfied with certain
features of the bill today began a de-
mand for a democratic caucus To con.
slider the conference report before it is
taken UP in the Senate.
Senator Reed of Missouri insisted that
unless certain changes were made in rates
fixed by the conference committee, he
might vote against the report and the
tariff bill on its final passage.
The cotton futures tax dominated the
days fight in the House, although but
little time actually was given to its con-
sideration. The history of the compro-
mise amendment became matter of rec
ord before the day ended. Representative
Underwood said President Wilson had
given 1t to him. Representative Lever
added that the basis of the plan was
bill introduced repeatedly in the Senate
by Senator Ellison d. Smith of South

SPEAKER CLARK
TAKES THE FLOOR

Speaker Clarke took the floor in the
last moments before the vote to congrat-
ulate the President, Representative Up-
derwood and the democratic party in geh-
eral upon the success of the tariff pro-
gramme. He defended the caucus plan
and ridiculed the suggestion of Repre-
sentative Murdick that no tariff bills in
the future would be drafted in this way.
1T would be impossible to pass a tariff
BILL" said Mr.. Clarke, that in any way
represented pledges of a great political
party without having the members of
that party get together, talk 1t over and
come to an agreement. The Underwood
tariff bill will in my judgment prove to
be the best tariff bill ever passed in this
country"

course to be followed with the cotton fu-
lures tax gave the House bad half
