CALEB POWERS MAKES
INTERESTING SPEECH

Washington. April 2Sth.-A rush
of speechmaking on the final day of
general debate on the tariff bill
made lively proceedings in the
House. The consideration of the
Underwood tariff revision to read.
ing of the measure under the FIVE.
minute rule will begin tomorrow.
Chairman Underwood has not
changed his view that the bill
should be disposed Of in the House
within week from today.
Representative Payne, ranking Re
publican member oi the Ways and
Means Committee, defended the
Payne.Aldrich tariff law and de-
clared the Under wood bill as a
tariff for revenue measure "a signal

Mr.. Payne concluded.
In a speech in the House Repre-
sentative Caleb Powers, of the
Eleventh Kentucky District, demon
mated the Underwood tariff bill an
overdose of Democratic cure-all re-
medy for government ills. The high
cost of living, he pointed out, is
traceable not to the protective tariff
but to the unlawful combinations
in restraint of trade.
"The Democratic party in the
House." he said. "is child OF
