about the determinations This dis
elimination against home interests,
when translated into English, in my
opinion, often means:
We are not getting our share of
the graft; we are being overlooked
in the distribution of plunder.'
Myers opinion is that if the United
world in wool growing after nearly
a century of protection. then it had
better go out of the business"
He contended. however. that the
wool growers could compete without
tariff. The wool growing business, he
sead. after nearly a 100 years of pro-
lection after nearly a century of
ecoddling and nursing. is decadent
business. He said positively that it
is on the decline.
Four Months Passed.
Four months of the extra session of
the democratic congress have pass d,
with the tariff revision bill still in
the early stages of consideration by
the senate, the lobby Investigate tion
about to become double barreled af-
fair with senate and house commit
tees probing. the Mexican situation
engaging deep interest in both
branches and republican leaders get

currency legislation on What they
term a tired out congress"
Tariff Passage Conceded.
AS for the tariff. it's passage by the
senate in its present form is conceded,
the only doubt now existent being as
to the time the task will be COM

minority senator's, on some definite
understanding being reached as to
what is to be expected of them on the

hurry the tariff along. Democratic
leaders, however, are just now pre-

majority to hasten the tariff along
and next week they intend to discuss
the measure seven hours day be-
Later it is proposed to hold night ses-
sions. They have it in their power
to force long sessions as the republi-
cans members. no matter how much
they may dislike the hard work dur
ing the heated season, are anxious to
make complete tariff record in this
debate for future reference.
Part of the democratic plan to get
the tariff bill onto the statute books
as soon as possible is to refrain from
making set speeches contending them
selves with floor arguments on the
as they are proposed by
the minority. Taunting efforts of the
opposition thus far have failed to
arouse the majority into a talkative
mood. Chairman Simmons and other
members Of the finance committee are
busy keeping the temper of their col
legaues down and one senator re-
marked the other day that whenever
a man showed signs of delivering him
self Of long speech some member
of the committee would rush over and
put muzzle on him. Senator Walsh
talked Saturday. but that was part
of the majority plan to make clear
the party solidarity. the Montana sem
