None OF Pres't Wilson's critics among his

disposition the roads necessary both to their
stockholders and users manifest to every mem

The third thought probably is of

they are subject to review by the Sen

exercised to the extent OF framing
almost a new measure. Some tariff
bills have been so much changed by
the Senate in the way of amendments,
their House sponsors had difficulty in
recognizing them when they met them
later in conference committee. The
Underwood tariff bill was OH the Sen
