 There is to be no undue delay In the consideration of the revenue bill by the senate. There was a time when the Republicans threatened to debate the bill because 1t contained two bills in one, that Is, one pro- viding for 1919 and another for 1920. But after mature consideration it was deemed wise not to antagonize a revenue measure further than by legitimate discussion and by opposi- ton votes to features that were ob- jectionable. There might not have been much complaint if the debate had lasted long as this bill has been the most delayed important m assire ever before congress.

J. Hampton Moore takes great de- light in "ge ting rise" out Of Con- gressman Hefiin He generally does il by making some allusion to cotton and suggesting that those who have been making great profits in cotton ought to pay some of the taxes. This is sure to bring about reply from Cotton Tom.'' as Heflin Is often called. The Alabama man always cr.ti- eizes the proposition either to put tax op~cotton or to fix the price of tkat staple.

ment-Governrnent to

Chicago. March 12.-what was
characterized as an epoch making
event in the livestock industry, was

ganization of livestock men and pack
ers. with the government represent

try. The big five" packers all en-
tered into the agreement.

ment.

which calls for q conference commit
tee Of the livestock industry, COM
posed Of % representatives Of the
producers, the packers and the COM
mission men, and a government MEM
ber. The agreement was regarded
as tentative until it has been sane
toned by interests not at the confer
