House Expected to Beat Senate
Measure Aimed at Referendum.

Jefferson City, July 1S.-Members
of the legislature declared Monday
they expected the house to reject the
senate joint and concurrent resolu-
ton rcsubmitting a constitutional
amendment increasing the required
number OF signers to referendum PEI
titions from 5-to IS per cent, follow
ing the action Of the house Saturday
in refusing to submit the proposition
for the repeal of the state referendum.
The action of the house is inter-
preted as a rebuke to Governor Hyde
who in his first message to the spe-
cial session, recommended that the
referendum either be repealed out
right or amended in such a manner as
to make it more difficult to get sign
ers to referendum petitions.
it is believed that the special ses-
sion will refuse to do either and thar
no amendment will be submitted to
the people which might nullify the
check the peope now have on the
legislature. u..
1t is apparent that Goevrnor Hyde
has lost his hold on many of the Re-
publicans OF the legislature and that
he now is not exerting the same
strong influence that he did during
the regular session of the legislature
The governors so-called consolidar
ton or sob" bills. which were sus'
beaded through the referendum, were
severely indicted by Representative
Whitaker of Hickory county, a Re
publican. Whitaker. in opposing the
move to repeal the referendum clause
OF the constitution. declared he was
confident the referendum would never
have been invoked if the Legislature
had not passed measures which wers
unfair and put them over under falss
pretenses.
Representative Goodenough Of St
Louis declared that the Central
Trades and Labor union OF that city
i had urged him to oppose any measure
i which would tend to curb right:
of the voters or nuliify the referen
dunn.
u The members from the rural sec
ton are as equally opposed to tam
pering with it.

Washinton, July ia letter from
ex-President Wilson to Premier
Lloyd George of Great Britain. de-
claring that the United States could
not consider proposals to cancel or

MSS to this nation, was placed IN the

ator Lodge of Massachusetts, Re-
publican leader.

senate foreign relations committee by
ex-Secretary Houston. 1t said tina:
Suggestions looking to the cancel
lation or exchange" were made to the
x-President in Paris. The commun-
ication apparently was the reply to
the British premier's letter made pub
lie last week in the senate finance
committee hearings.
T Mr.. Wilson's letter said that the
position Of the United States had not
changed and 1T is not prepared to
consent to the remission Of any part
of the debt Of Great Britain to the
United States"
Mr.. Wilson, it appeared, urged
|, Lloyd George to fund the debt. say
ing that If this was not done EN-
barrassment ofthe treasury would
necessitate steps to collect unpaid in
terest.
Expressing confident expectation
of the payment in due course, Mt
Wilson added:
ut is felt that the funding OF these
demand obligations OF the British
government will do more to strength
en- the friendly relations between
America and Great Britain than would
any other course of dealing with the

House Puts on On Free List - r.
as II quested by President.

Washington, Jnly I8.-The Tread
way amendment to the Fordney tariff
Hill, placing oil on the free list, was
adopted by the house Monday after
noon by vote Of I9c to Sc. This
was after President Harding had
asked such action.
President Harding Monday asked
the house that he be given power IN.
the Fordney tariff bill to bargain
with other nations to remove export
duties on oil, or other determinations
which, he said, hampered trade with
the United States.
In a letter to Chairman Fordney
OF the ways and means committee,
read to the house, the president op-
posed the direct imposition of duties
on bill, but suggested that he be given
authority to impose them against any
nation that hampers 'facilitation of
trades" with the United States.
| Harding stated that to levy "a
protective tariff on petroleum would
be at variance with all that has been
done to safeguard Our future needs
and would discourage American cap
ital from developing new oil fields
in foreign lands.
| 1t is believed that in asking for this,
bargaining provision the president
has in mind the export duty now inn
posed by the Obregon government.
The letter was written the day after

placed duties OF IS cents a barrel on
crude and Is cents on fuel oil.
