MODERATE PROTECTIVE DUTY
NOW APPEARS AS POSSIBILITY
BY C. S. ALBERT


WASHINGTON, July 12.-Republi-
can senators have taken a new lease
on hope and believe they will be able
to accomplish some results In the di
rection of imposing moderate pro
tectiVe duty on sugar. The same opti.
mism extends to wool and other fea-
lures of the Underwood Simmons bill.
This conclusion was reached several
days after the Democratic caucus com.
pleted its work, and after the meas
ure had been favorably reported from
the finance committee.
Senator Smoot made careful in
yestigation of the situation and sub
sequently gave out an interview
wherein he expressed the firm belief
that enough of the dissatisfied Demo-
Gratis would cooperate with the Re-
publicans to place duty on sugar
and wool. He was positive this could
be done in the senate and the bill sent
back to the house for concurrence in
the various amendments added. He
was not sure that the house would
not later force the senate to recede
from its position and have sugar and
wool on the free list This would fol-
low the conference on, the disputed
items ..-.. .-... :. ~..
In any event, more announcement
is extended by Republican senators
now than at any previous time since

ON
LOOKOUT FOR A
new Chairman
Head of County Committee
Says He viii Stick and
Fight Until Convinced
i. Otherwise -" n. II.

Republican circles yesterday and
today were stirred by the report that
Chairman Bertram Won Damn and
secretary John HI. Wise of the Re-
publican county committee have about
made up their minds to resign their
positions, and simultaneously active
party men began canvassing the situa-
ton for possible successors to the two
officials.
Chairman Won Damn says that un-
til he is convinced that it is for the
good of the party that he resign, and
until successor Is available who
can give satisfaction, he will stick
and fight" Wise frankly states that
he is contemplating resigning and that
he has never taken the position that
he would not quit the secretaryshfp,
but only that his precinct wishes him
to remain member of the county
committee and he will do so until the
precinct decrees otherwise.
Several names have been suggested
for country chairman since Won Damn
announced last Friday night that he
was ready to resign. His statement
at that time Is generally taken as
meaning that either now or within a
short time he will resign from the
Craftsmanship and several members of
the committee are known to favor a
new chairman.
Among the names mentioned for
chairman are those of Senator A. F.
Judd, L. Ms Judd, present committee
man from the fifth precinct of the
fourth district, E. Faxon Bishop and
Norman Watkins. Senator Judd's
name has been most prominently men,
toned in the discussion. but he said
this morning that he will not accept
the position
Il cannot give the time it demands"
he said, "and / feel that in the past
few years have devoted all the time
to. public service that / can, as an Of
ficfal. expectato do my work in the
precinct-elub."
1t could not be learned this morning
that Mr.: Bishop had been approached
with references ito the matter. The.
names of the others have been men,
toned rather casually and no move
has been made to see If they would
take the position.

cific results in tie end but it press
ages a good fight, with chance OF
winning, and that is better than the
hopeless condition heretofore prevail
ing.
The subject has been carefully dis.
cussed by Mr. Smoot with the five
Democratic senators who decline to
take so-called binding pledge in eau
Gus. Their conversation satisfied the
Utah senator that they would vote for
Republican amendments on sugar and
wool
The provision for sugar was drawn
long ago by Senator Bristow, acting
for the Republicans. 1t reduces the
present rate to $1.5212 per 100 pounds.
There is no expectation that this high
duty will be supported by the dissent
ing Democrats. They will insist on
much lower rate. The duty sug-
gested by Senator Shafroth amount TO
about so cents per hundred pounds.
Senators Newlands, Ransdell and
Thornton, favor higher rate than so
cents, but believe it can be fixed be-
low the point indicated by Mr.. Bris-
tow, and which he calls an irreducible
minimum.
In the opinion of Mr. Bristow the
dissatisfied Democrats will prepare
their own sugar amendment. The Re
publicans will accept it, after that
proposed by Mr. Bristow is rejected,
on the theory that small protective
duty is better than free sugar

City Engineer
Giuen Poyer to
Name Employees
Legal Opinion Stops. Mayor
.s IRON Naming Successor
to ]. ]. Smiddy

Emphatic IN his statement as to
what Official falls the right to appoint
the successor of Road Supervisor j.
]. Smiddy, whose resignation takes
effect the last of this month, p. L.
Weaver, first deputy city and county
attorney, presented Mayor Joseph j..
Fern with a lengthy legal opinion to-
day, which meets with the displeas-
ure of the city's chief executive.
In his opinion Attorney Weaver
strongly affirms that the mayor has
not the legal right to appoint an as
sistant of the city and county engi-
neer, but that the latter official, by
virtue OF an ordinance passed by the
supervisors, has the authority to name
the successor OF Smiddy.
So long as this ordinance is on the
books, says the deputy city and coun-
ty attorney. the mayor will be obliged
to keep his hands off the appointments
of City and County Engineer White
houses assistants, and his appoint
i've power, restored to him by the last
legislature must be confined to such
cases where election or appointment
is not otherwise provided for by this
charter or by law"
Mayor Fern is displeased with the
opinion, and he has made no attempt
TO conceal his displeasure. That he
will ignore it, however. may be
strongly doubted Intimations he
made this afternoon bear strongly on
the prediction that he will seek to
cause the ordinance giving the city
and county engineer the power to ap-
point his assistants to be repealed,
and in that way vest the appointive
power over the position of the road
supervisor with himself.
That the opinion of Mr.. Weaver is
the forerunner of more city and coun-
ty official squabbles also seems to be
clear Mayor Fern discussed the opin-
ion with Supervisor Mcclellan this af-
ternoon, and though he announced no
conclusion as to what he plans to do,
he expressed himself in favor of re-
pealing the ordinance which would
mean another bone of contention for
the supervisors and city and county
officials generally. .... =.
Mayor Fern did not wish to give
out the opinion and justified his re-
luctance of making it public by stat
ing that he had called for it for his
own personal wish, desiring to be
forearmed in case he named the sue
cessor of Smiddy. ... ... ~.
