Is expected to raise In the neighbor
hood of $20O,000,000 is now before the
senate finance committee, having
passed the house Monday. The house
did not take final vote on the bill
however. until after 1t had adopted
several amendments over the vigorous
protests of the democratic leaders
including one offered by Representa-
tive Green, of Iowa, a member OF
the ways and means committee, cut
ting down the salaries to be paid to
the members of the proposed tariff
commission from $4,000 to $1,000
Mr.. Green told the house that in his
opinion there was no reason for pay
ing $4,000 salaries to the commits
sioners, that he considered such sal
aries exorbitant, and that members
Of congress received no more, than
$500. A number of the democrats
Joined with Mr.. Green and the repub'
licans in support Of the amendment
and it was adopted by vote Of 143
to 90.
Incidentally, the Iowa delegation
was split on the final vote on the
revenue bill, which was passed by 2S9
to 1879. Those voting for the bill were
Representatives Pamseyer. Green
Good. Bowel and Sweet, and those
voting against 1t were Representatives
Naugen, Hull, Kennedy and Towner
Mr.. Good made a speech in favor OF
the bill. The supporters of the meas,
ure among the Iowa delegation gave
as their reasons that the country
needed the revenue for national de.
Tense and other purposes and 1t should
therefore 90 through. On the other
hand, republicans opposing the bill
held that the democrats should re-
sort to protective tariff as means
of raising the required revenue in
stead Of adopting the special taxes

FUNDS ARE SLOW IN
THEIR APPEARANCE

Funds are still very low about COM
ing in for the soldiers relief and
the committee is beginning to feel
somewhat worried about the matter.
Ottumwans who have gone to the
front to defend their country's flag
and honor should not have to worry
about their families support while
they are gone. That is the way those
who started the movement feel about
the project and it is in the same spirit
that they ask the support of every
Ottumwan who feels he can give
something.
