II anything more we're needed to
show the superiority of electricity
over steam as motive power, the
proof was supplied by the feat OF q
giant electric locomotive on run
over the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul between Deer Lodge and Butte.
The demonstration was quite as re-
markable as the tests arranged last
month when electric freight locorno-

continental divide east OF Butte.
The passenger locomotive in Ito
first run exceeded all expectations.
It developed power and speed. max

PROPOSED TARIFF
COMMISSION
OF WILSON ADMINISTRATION
IS STEP BACKWARD INSTEAD
j OF FORWARD, SAYS new
YORK CONGRESSMAN.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 21-''A
more partisan tariff commission than
that proposed by the bill introduced
for the Wilson administration could
scarcely be devised"
This statement was made by Rep
resentative George w. Fairchild of
New York, a member of the Ways
and Means Committee, after care
full analysis Of the provisions of the
administration tariff Commission bill.
THE establishment OF a tariff
commission the powers of which even
suggest partisan report is neither
necessary, valuable nor desirable"
said Mr.. Fairchild. 1.-THE Democratic
tariff commission bill not only sug-
gests but invites and insures partisan
action.
THE bill contains two provisions
stamping it as a partisan measure.
First, section 8 provides, among
other things, that the commission,
Tive in number, shall investigate the
administration and fiscal effects of
customs of ad valorem and specific
duties, and the operation and eff
fleets of the customs tariff laws, in
Guiding their relations to the federal
revenues
"a report on the effect of tar
if can only be an expression Of
opinion OF the men making the re-
port. Since the bill specifically per-
mits the appointment of a majority
iof the same political faith on the
commission, such majority would I'M
questionably render an opinion in
conformity with the tariff policy OF
the political party from which they
were chosen, thus completely des-
troying the non-partisan character Of
the commission.
Second, the partisan character Of
| the administration bill is further en-
phasized by a provision that the
OOiuuliooAOu Sudli ICpOil, uOl " Son
gress itself, but to the two tariff
making committees OF Congress, the
Ways and Means Committee OF the
House and the Finance Committee
OF the Senate.
Each OF these committees is abso-
lutely partisan, appointed for the
purpose of reporting tariff measures
that reflect the tariff policy of the
party in power. Republican members
OF the Committee were not permitted
to share with the Democratic mem
bers in drafting the Underwood bill,
and this Is the custom usually fol-
lowed.
1T must be perfectly clear, there
fore, that with partisan tariff com
mission instructed by law to re-
port to a partisan committee, bound
by party platforms to legislate in
conformity with the tariff policy OF
such party, nothing but the most
extremely partisan tariff bill could
be the result.
From every point OF view the
Wilson tariff commission bill is al
step backward rather than forward,
and should be opposed by everyone
who favors the appointment Of 4
scientific, non-partisan tariff commits
sion"
