HOUSE MAY VOTE TODAY
ON OIL DUTY IN TARIFF BILL
Fight Becomes Bitter, Independents Asking
Protection from Mexican Fields.

statement issued last night, Davis
said that no matter what the rates
may be, he does not expect that a
duty on oil will Immediately affect
the prices of petroleum products to
the consumers.
There is at present a surplus of
at least 25 per cent above the de-
mand," he said. Increasing the
cost cannot, under these circum-
stances, affect the ultimate prices
because the sulplus is the factor in
determining prices.
What Is desired is the restoration
of an equilibrium between supply
and demand. This cannot be ac-
cCmplished except by cessation of
drilling new wells, as the old wells
must be pumped or they will be
ruined
The only way to stop drilling
is to make it Improbable, or less
profitable, than it is now to the
corporations operating in Mexico. 1t
country by the reductions in price
to figures. in some cases, less than
half the cost of production.
stop Mexican Drilling.
THE independent oil producer at
home believes that it is unfair, un-
der these circumstances. that the
intensive campaign of drilling in
Mexico should continue, and ask S
for the import duty as a deterrent
to the continued drilling south or
the Rio Granle.
They believe that the great cor
porations operating in Mexico should
contribute their part toward the
restoration of the equilibrium be-
tween supply and demand by a ces-
sation of drilling operations just
as the producer in this country has
been forced to do.
They do not ask for the duty as
part Of the permanent tariff
policy of the government. but do
ask that this Republican Congress
extend to them the same protection
against dumping of immense guam
titles of cheap foreign commodities
that it extends to other lines of
industry and business. They be-
lieve that an adequate duty for two
years would be sufficient to accom-
pIish this purpose"

Ninety-Six, was supreme dictator Of
Republican patronage in the Pal
metto State, that Information having
been conveyed to them some weeks

matter now Is found, so far as Toll
bert being the big boss of South
Carolina Is concerned, in the fact
that, by the way nominations for
Carolina Offices are piling up, both
in the way Of examinations to be
held within the next few weeks and
by the naming Of "acting postmas-

Is to be encountered when the Senate
reconvenes after it's thirty-day recess
and tackles the job Of confirming the
Tolbert and Harding selections.
While no one Is being herein quot

known to make it more than plain
that not by any means will all Of
