Washington, June ol.-The Under

agreed upon by the Democrats of the
Senate committee, went through full
days session OF the Senate Dcmocra-
tic caucus to-day with practically no
change and with harmonious support

The tariff duties on chemicals. oils
and paints; on earthenware and glass
ware. and on two-thirds OF the articles
comprised in the metal and machinery
schedule. had been disposed of when
the caucus adjourned late this af:cr-
noon. Democratic members of the FL
nance Committee met tonight to fin
ish rc-draftuE the income tax section
OF the bill. The important changes
to be made in this provision, reducing
the exempted income from $4,000 to
$4,000 probably Will be completed
Monday, and the income tax and adj
ministrative features of the bill then
will be turned over TO the caucus for
consideration
Criticism of the bill in the party
conferences was limited to a few
specific rates. and half dozen of the
items were sent back to the Finance
Committee for further investigation
and report. The committees report
putting cement on the free list was
sus stained after some debate. The pro-

Automobiles Necessary.
Cheap automobiles as necessaries of
business and farming life were the
object OF much OF the debate" The
Finance Committee Democrats had al
ready cut the rates of the Underwood
bill from IS per cent ad valorem to 80
per cent on motor cars valued at less
than $1,000 Several Democratic Sena-
tors urged further cut and recon-
mended that the tariff be only 10 or
less. than $1,000.
This demand was made on the
ground that cheap automobiles were
now common necessaries.
The caucus did not settle the auto
mobile controversy, but asked Chair
man Simmons and his colleagues on
tho Finance Committee to Investigate

Harmony was predicted by the Dem
ocratic leaders to-day after the eau
Gus broke up. None OF the bitterly
fought sections of the bill had been
reached. however, and no effort has
been made thus far TO assert the bind
ing authority OF the party caucus upon
individual Senators.
Senator Kern. the party leader. said
the caucus would bind all its members
upon all features OF the BILL except
where they had made pledges to their
constituents or felt that they could
not conscientiously abide by the action
OF the majority.
Caucus consideration Of the bill will
be resumed at u A. NJ Tuesday, and
1t Is believed the measure will be
ready for presentation to the Senate

cording to the Atchison Globe the

dividends of the road unless the COM
pany finds a way to get 1t off the
railroads S expense account One
farmer bought the mule from another
farmer sight unseen" The mule
was shipped over the Burlington. II
was about twenty years old, blind
and spawned The man who bought
it refused to take it off the company's
hands. The railroad returned it TO
the original owner and he refused to
accept it, saying that inasmuch as he
had sold it and received the money
for 1t the mule did not belong to him
The mule was sent to a livery barn.
and the proprietor refused to accept
1t unless the road guaranteed the
board bill, which is SIS a month. The
road cannot dispose of the mule or
give it away, inasmuch as it has been
ordered by the court to produce the
mule as witness when the law suit
pending between the two farmers
comes to trial.

WHAT WILL SMALLEY DO7

A primary in the democratic party
in Hammond for city nominations is
practically a foregone conclusion.
The city central committee has not
yet met to give an expression in the
matter, but with the leaders of the
party all speaking in favor of a popu-
lar selection, the issue cannot be
lodged.
AS THE TIMES predicted some
time ago the deep sewer proposition
has grown into smalley issue. His
course will be watched with interest.
He can not evade the question until
after the primaries for they are too
long off. The demonstrators and the
petitioners will want an answer as
soon as possible. We can see a lot
of trouble ahead for the mayor no
matter which way he decides.
We still maintain that the ma
jority, the silent majority is with
the mayor on deep sewer. The
question may contribute to his poll
tical downfall, but if he would live
in Hammond's history, even though
All ungrateful populace would punish
|him at the polls for his conviction
either at the primaries or in the elec-
tion next fall, he would have the sat-
isfaction of having done something
which in the long run will rebound
more to his credit than any nomina-
tion or election could.

THE TIMES is not perfect nor is
any human being. 1t sets no claim of
superiority, of pretension of populari-
ty beyond what it feels that 1t has
some measure of right to expect. The
paper feels that it has reached GER
tain age of maturity. 1t has done
long ago with experiments. 1t wants
the support of all good men and asks
for a continuance of the favors, its
friends have so kindly bestowed upon
it, improvements are modestly plan
ned for the paper in the future and
when they come, THE TIMES will
feel that another step has been
reached in the march to success.

FARMERS DAY.

On Saturday it is estimated that
more than 1000 farmers will come to
Gary as the guests of the CONNER
cial club. They will be shown
through the steel mills on a special
train, be given an auto tour of the
city. and entertained otherwise.
There are hundreds of farmers in
the county who have never been in
Gary and here is glorious oppor-
tunity for them to get an idea of
how much the new steel town has
grown. THE TIMES welcomes the
farmers and hopes they will pack its
offices all day long. Nine-tenths of
the farmers of Lake County without
a question of a doubt have got their
acquaintance with Gary by reading
of it in the columns of THE TIMES.
That's what we are here for.

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY.

THE TIMES today celebrates its
eighth anniversary and with perhaps
pardonable pride permits q clarion
toot of its own horn. Eight years ago
today with everything to learn and
everything to lose THE TIMES was
born.
Sympathizing friends and enemies
alike predicted its hasty finish. 1t
was only a matter of time they said
when it would blow up. That time
never came. There never was any
danger of 1t because the paper came
to stay. Only one thing however, has
made THE TIMES what it is and
that is the staunchness of the friends
who have stuck by it through thick
and thin and at every step in the
uphill fight
Starting newspaper is like break
ing virgin forest for the plow. The
work is beset with difficulties and
calls for the hardest kind of labor as
the pioneer knows. It taxes every
| resource and all his powers. A news
paper has its field to cultivate, its
/ seed to SOW and its crop to grow and
| there is tare among the wheat often
to the encouragement of the pub
Usher and his co-workers, but as one
difficulty after another is surmount-
ed, as one setback after another is
conquered the goal looms in the dis
tance and achievement is recorded.
/ To those faithful friends, its adj
Ivertisers and patrons, many of whom
have been with the paper since its
establishment and made it's success
possible the publishers have nothing
but the deepest gratitude. They
have been weighed in the balance
and never found wanting. THE
TIMES is proud of the friends it has
made and has no regrets for the
lenemies it has made. The one is i'm
possible without the other They
tboth have their function in the max.
ing of a successful newspaper.
