CURRENCY QUESTION
WORRYING LEADERS
Problem Awes the Average
Statesman and Many of
Them Admit 1t.

ITO do or not to do, is the question
worrying leaders In Congress with ref
erence to currency legislation at this
session. Impressed with the splendid
team work of the House democrats on
the tariff. President Wilson fain Would
trOt them another heat on currency.
But Oscar Underwood balks and is
bridle-shy. He found the going good
on the tariff. but is afraid the track is
heavy for currency. President Wilson
may have to do some coaxing to make
his stable fit for more work.
The President has very strong ideas
on the necessity for currency legisla-
tion before adjournment. He is being
advised from many sections of the
country that it would be unwise not to
have some emergency legislation on
the statute books by the time Congress
is adjourned and business is trying to
adjust itself to new conditions.
Now, it is cloakroom secret, one of
those Just between us and the gate

Capitol Hill is that the currency prob

doesn't know much about it, and, in
fact, many of them admit it.

President Wilson meets this objection
very readily, however. He tells them
not to worry; that he and Secretary

Montana Senator's Views.

Senator Walsh of Montana is one Of
the Western Senators who is greatly in
terested in this fight. He said today:
I'm two campaigns in my state l have
given assurances, and other democratic
leaders have given assurances that the
tariff on sugar and wool would be gradu-
ally reduced to a revenue basis. But
there was nothing. said about free sugar
or free wool L feel pledged to support
revenue tariff on sugar and wool be-
cause of the promises given my people.
In addition to attempting to place wool
on the free list, and sugar on the free list
after three years of reduced tariff the
proposed tariff bill will place coal. lum-
ber meats and practically all the great
products of my state on the free list At
the same time. the materials which the
people of Montana must purchase will;
carry tariff
Senator Walsh said he could not at
present indicate what the outcome of the
fight over sugar and wool would be.
Senator Newlands of Nevada Is another
Of the westerners who is emphatic in his
demand that tariff on sugar and raw
wool be continued. He has intimated
that he might not abide by the action of
the democratic caucus unless it made
some provision for duty on sugar and
wool

TARIFF AMENDMENT
BLOW At MONOPOLY
Kenyon Proposal Would Hit
Certain Manufacturers
and Corporations.
HOPE OF THE LEADERS
IN WESTERN SENATORS
Success of the Underwood Bill Is De-
pendent Largely on Acceptance
of Current Decision.

Senator Kenyon of Iowa introduced to-
day in the Senate an amendment to the
tariff bill which will put on the free list
the products of any corporation or man
ufacturer declared by the courts to have
a monopoly.
The subcommittee OF the finance com
mttee got down TO work again today on
the various schedules assigned them. and
hearings were given to number OF man
facturers and importers. Every effort Is
being made by Chairman Simmons and
other Democratic members OF the finance
committee to get the work of the sub
committees along as fast as possible. IN
the hope of being able 70 report to the
full committee within the next ten days
or two weeks.
Whether the Democratic Senators from
western states which produce WOOL ana
sugar beets will abide by the action OF
the Democratic caucus when II passes
upon these schedules of the tariff meas
ure. pro, iJed these schedules are kept
the same as in the Underwood bill, Is
matter which is being carefully looked
into by the Democratic leaders.
1t has been definitely stated by the lead
ers that before the democratic caucus
the western Democrats will have every
opportunity of fighting for duty on
wool and sugar il they wish. But the
hope Of the leaders is that after these
Senators have made record on these
schedules in the caucus they viii be will
ing TO bow to the will OF the majority
members OF the Democratic party in the
Senate. the President and the House and
accept the decision of the caucus. 1t is
expected that this decision will be for
free sugar at the end of three years and
| free raw wool.
