SENATE TO TAKE
UP BIC WAR TAX
BILL TOMORROW
"Gentlemen's Agreement
to Limit Debate on
Measure.

Washington, Aug. Reconsideration
of the $4,000, $4,000 war tax bill will
begin in the Senate tomorrow and
will be kept constantly before that
body until disposed of, according to
present plans of the leaders. The ad-
ministration food control legislation
will be out of the way before then.
The war tax bill probably will be
taken up under so-called gentle
mems agreement for limited debate in
an effort to pass the measure within
two weeks. Senator Harding is try
ing to- get pledges of SO Senators to
join in such an agreement. He al
ready has 80 signatures to the pledge
he announced today.
Senate leaders, hope to have the
bill in President Wilson's hands for
his signature early in September
when it is planned to take a Congress
sional recess of at, least six weeks.

For instance, the gov
ernment may succeed i'll securing
a price on steel billets which is
lower than that quoted to a fac
tory under private ownership.
Yet that factory may be engaged
in work for the government into
which those steel billets will en-
ter, and the price for which will
have tC be higher in consequence.
Will the government then say
that that factory must give it a
lower price than it would to an
individual customer? If so, an
endless chain of price cutting has
been instituted, the result of
which can be nothing but wide
spread decentralization of business.

CONTRIBUTED
Senator Foraker.

A great man passed when Sen
ator Joseph B. Foraker died. He
was a patriot in his youth. He
was a captain in the army of the
Union when he was only a boy.
He was patriot in the last year
of his life when his beloved coun-
try is again passing under the
rod of war. He was a patriot
every year ard every day of his
life. The school boy cannot read
the story of this qreat Americans
life without finding in it an ap-
peal to his patriotism and an in
Spiratlon to serve his country.
Foraker was a just judge, a
great governor, a leader in the
Senate of his country. And what
an orator he was! No wonder he
was an object of hero worship to
the men of Ohio. Manly in form,
handsome in feature, command
ing in every action, he was one
of those rare men that nature
casts for leadership and who ne
yer fail to make good in any en-
t6rprise they may embark upon.
He never knew the meaning of
the word fear. He was one Of
the old-time type of statesmen
who dared to think for themselves
and dared to say what they
thought.
He was Republican of Repub-
licans. He learned the lessons of
Liberty in the days of the war
for the Union and the freedom of
the slave, He was always the
friend of the oppressed. Every
citizen of Ohio will mourn his
loss and every Republican will
doubly NOUN it. He was the
last of that galaxy of great Re-
publicans gone before and among
whom we recall Wade, Giddings,
Chase, Stanton. Hayes, Garfield,
Foster, Bushnell, Nash, Sher-
man, Mckinley, Hanna. His
lame and fame will long be cher
ished in the state of his nativity
and of his career and in the coun-
ellis and memories of his Earty.

1t is given out at Washington
that the President will not alb
sent himself from the capital this
summer and that he will stay on
the job. This is a good example
for Congress to follow. If the
President is to stay on the job,
Congress should be equally self
sacrificing. We are we'll aware
that Washington in midsummer
is no health-giving spa, and that
congressman will be anxious to
get away as soon as the sumner
soltice is passed. But they must
stay-either as a whole or by a
representative group. Congress,
by establishing a joint committee
on the conduct of the war such
as Senator Weeks and Represen
tative Madden have proposed,
might absent itself without in
curing criticism. But for Con.
gress to go home, leaving no re-
spOnsible agent to act in loco le-
gatorum, so to say, would be the
height of folly, for the country
and for Congress itself.

Will Not Survive Long.

The free-trade legislators who
passed, and the free-trade Pres
idant who signed, the bill pro-
viding for a tariff commission do
not want any facts showing that
the present tariff is inadequate
for the needs of American labor
and industry. To present such
facts would be a condemnation Of
the Underwood free trade tariff
law. A tariff commission which
should Obtain and submit facts of
that kind would not last beyond
the first years appropriation for
Its maintenance. IL would be
like the man who died for lack of
breath - dead for lack of money
to keep it alive. The Taussig
commission nay for time sur
vive if it reports the right kind
of facts; not otherwise. But it
will not survive the election o. a
Congress in which either house
is controlled by a protectionist
majority. That fact should be
remembered in the senatorial and
congressional elections o, 1918. Il
