ON SIMS MEASURE.
mo Tolls Shall Be Levied Upon
Vessels Engaged in Coastwise
Trade" Stricken From Act.

Washington, d. C.-The Sims bill
to repeal the Panama canal tolls

the house commerce committee by a
vote of II to 4. Representatives
Doremus OF Michigan and O'Shaunes-
sy, Democrats; Knowland of Califor-
MIA, Republican, and Lafferty of Wash
ington, Progressive, voted against it.
This action came within less than
"a hours after President Wilson's
personal appearance at a joint session
OF congress with a request that action
be taken to repeal the clause exempt
ing American coastWise ships from
toll charges, On the ground that it
was in violation of the H~ay-Paunce-
fote treaty.
The Sims bill mad been stored in
the files ever since the house rejected
1t as an amendment to the Panama
law, but it was recalled for consid-
Grafton Immediately after the presi-
dents address.
The bill as reported by the COM
mittee simply provides that the SEN
tence in the Panama canal act read
ing, mo tolls shall be levied upon
vessels engaged in the coastwise
trade of the United States" shall be
repealed.
Members who voted against it
pointed out that another provision re-
lating to minimum tolls also must be
repealed or the whole question still
will be open and the United States
may in its discretion allow American
vessels free 5 of the canal.

Drama CARRIED TO COUNTRY
Little Theater," Originated by North
Dakota Agricultural College,
May Prove Popular.

Farog, N. D.--"The Little Coun-
try Theater," an idea originated
by the North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege, started a movement in the north
west which is expected to sweep the
entire country.
The theater, designed in the agri-
cultural college, is in every way a
miniature Of the regular theater, but
is so constructed that it is readily
adaptable to any small hall. The
idea Of the little theRter" is to
bring amateur theatricals into farm
homes, country schools, village halls
and such places.
The simplicity Of the stage settings
are such that they can be constructed
easily and cheaply from the plans
made up at the local college. The
plan is adapted more readily to one-
act playlets.
