An intimation is given that the
tariff bill reported to the Senate by
the Finance Committee will be quite
different in a number of respects
from the measure that was passed
by the House. There will be a chang
ing Of rates, some raised and some
lowered. it is said. together with a
revision of certain provisions to
perfect" the bill and make it con-
form more nearly to the require
ments of the Government and the
interests Of the people.
There is nothing unusual about
this, for 1t has always been the case
in enacting tariff legislation that
while it is initiated by the House, un-
der constitutional authority. the Sem
ate has proved very influential fac
tor in the 'perfecting' process. In
this instance, there has been rather
generous amount of complaint at the
brief period devoted to debate on the
bill in the House, the contention be-
ing that IL failed to receive as full
consideration as it should have had
But 1t may be said in behalf of the
House leaders that they were en-
deavoring to defer to the weil-man-
ifested wish of the people for prompt
action on this important legislation.
The Finance Committee Of the
Senate has announced that IL Will
give ample opportunity for all par
ties interested to be heard regarding
every feature of the House bill. This
will take a month, and perhaps
longer, it is estimated, but apparent
ly IL is justified by the desire to have
the completed bill meet the require
ments of the country. Despite the
general desire for prompt action on
both the tariff and tax bills, it would
be bad policy to put through slip
shod legislation which would neither
yield the necessary revenue nor give
adequate protection to American in
terests- The task confronting Con-
gress is a big one, which involves the
business fortunes of this country,
and it should be well done.
The revenue features of the tariff
bill are of great Importance A min
imum of $4,000, 900, 900 a year must
be raised to meet the expenses of the
Government for several years 10
come, and the tariff should be made
to contribute as literally toward this
total as is feasible. Estimates of the
annual yield from the bill in the
form in which it passed the House
vary greatly, running from s350,000,-
600 TO 5000, 900, 900. While it is ex-
ceedingly difficult to make reliable
estimate on this point under existing
business conditions, the range OF
speculation here is entirely too wide

Davenport (la-) Times.
Secretary Mellon of the United
States Treasury announces that the
Government is preparing to loan the
railways Of the country $500. 1000, 900.
and that additional legislation will
be necessary to carry this plan into
effect.
The loans will tide the roads over
until the railway business so i'm
proves that roads can float private
bonds and thus repay the Govern
ment. The 100000, 900 is to be in no
sense a gift TO the railways OF the
country. and this fact should be kept
clearly in mind. Settlements must be
made within five years.
With the return of national pros
perity, 70 which adequate transpor-
tation service will contribute to a
large extent, the roads will be able
to meet their obligations promptly
and repay the Government at the
end of the fve-year period.

THE BURDEN OF
THE RAILROADS.

Wheeling CIV. Va..) Intelligence.
The grossest absurdity imposed
upon the railroad business Of the
country by Government control was
the so-called national agreement.
Nothing is more certain than that
the railroads OF the United States
must be put in a condition to deal
intelligently with their own help and
to adjust wages to the value of work
done before they can render the ser
vice TO general business and industry
that they are expected to render.
Nothing is more certain than that
the great railroad industry itself
must be put on a money-earning
basis before other business can be-
come prosperous, and before there
can be a general resumption of in
dustrial activity.

Auto Loses in Effort
To Move Mountain

Lead, July "a small automo-
bile, driven by young man from
Lead, came TO grief when it tried to
move a mountain in the vicinity of
Puma. 1t was being driven at a
high rate of speed when it struck a
curve near bridge in the vicinity
of Puma.
To prevent colliding with another
auto going in the opposite direction
the driver attempted to swerve to
one side of the road. The auto re-
fused to respond to the helm, as an
old salt would say, and ran at full
speed nose first into the base of the
mountain. The mountain refused to
move, with the result that the auto
mobile was smashed to pieces, being
a complete wreck.
The driver and another young man
emerged from the wreck without Sc
rious injury. A great mass of earth
and rock was precipitated upon the
car when it struck the base of the
mountain.

Although his train stopped only

A crowd that taxed the capacity

champion and his party. He was
asleep when the train pulled into the
station, but at the request or the
scribes and fans he arose, dressed
and presented himself on the rear

COLD HOLDINGS
ON THE INCREASE
GAIN OF $4S3,8O7, 900 BY FED
ERAL RESERVE BANK

Washington, d. c., July 9.-Fed-
eral reserve bank operations the past
year have resulted in an increase OF
its gold holdings by 4S3,607,000, a
decrease in its notes in circulation
of $4S6, 100000, and an increase in
its total reserve of $4,000, 900, ac-
cording to statistical summary is
sued by the board of governors to-
day. The contraction of the curren-
cy indicated, the board said, the de-
gree to which the country had en-
tered a period of deflation.
Characteristic of this period on
tie banking side have been reduc-
ton of loans and DIS held retire

the statement while on the business
side there have been iOwerir,, C pro
Cuction, growth OF unempl'ynselh,
falling off of foreign trade and re-
action of prices
The spring months of 1921 would
seem to be a period of approach to
equilibrium in certain lines of busi-
ness and of preparation for recovery
from depressed conditions"
Total resources of the reserV= sys-
TEN, amounting to $5,2 100000 on
June 20, were decreased i per cent
from the u;al on June %, 1920, of
$G,O74, 200, 600. The capital of the
federal reserve banks, however, in
creased fr, y $940, 100000 TO Sl02,-
1S4, 900, because "the system has
steadily increased in memberHll.p and
strength" This, the board remark
ed, was ''in contrast with the decline
in total resources"
Government obligations continued
to work out of the banking system
and into hands of private investors,
1T was said, because reserve loans
on treasury bonds and certificates of
Indebtedness dropped from $1,300,-
100000 in June, 1920, to $64S,0OO,-
600 last month. The total reserve
notes in circulation last month was
s2,634 100000, while in June, 1920,
it was $3,117, 100000.
Discussing the gold movements,
the board pointed out that the metal
flowed out of the United States in
1919 in considerable quantities, but
ebgan returning in greater volume in
1920, the imports for the past year
being $616, 100000. Offsetting i'm
ports against exports since the ar
mistice and to June 10, the countrys
gold stock showed a net increase of
$12O,O0O,OOO, and was still bound
upward.
The great shipments of gold to
the United States have been the re-
suit of the slackening and disorgan-
lzation of trade and the disturbance
Of financial relationship" the board
said.
Banking systems abroad were un-
able to accomplish the reduction of
paper currencies, the statement said
to anything like the degree which the
federal system showed In England
circulating notes were reduced 2 per
cent, while in France they increased
per cent, in Italy IL per cent and
in Germany 27 per cent.
