House Members Seek to
Include Hides and
Vegetable Oils.
PETITION is SIGNED
Paper Circulated by Southern
Assn Before Presentation
To Chairman Fordney.

That a strong tight is to be made
to include hides and vegetable oils
in the dutiable list of the permanent
tariff law was disclosed when
it became known that a majority
of the members of the house had
signed a petition to that effect. The
petition which was circulated by the
Southern Tariff association on be-

be presented to. Chairman Fordney

by a delegation of SO congressman
Thursday. May 2e. at 1 p. m.
Fordney Sets Date
The date for receiving the petition
was fixed by Chairman Fordney
with a view OF getting the status of
southern products in the tariff
measure definitely determined for the
Information of the ways and means
committee. he stated.
THE ways and means committee
is now engaged in writing the per-
manent tariff measure and we want
the cooperation of the South. as we
are anxious to deal fairly with all
sections" Mr.. Fordney said. I'VE
would be glad TO have southern rep
resentatives enumerate southern
products they desire placed on the
dutiable list and we would also like
for them to say whether they want
tariff on their products for the
purpose of protecting the producer
or for raising revenue for the gov
ernment.
1--WE, of course. take IL for grant
ed. that every representative who
asks for duty on products of his dis
trict and section is willing to grant
the same relative duty upon the
products of all other sections. To
assume otherwise would, of course,
carry with il a charge of insincerity
and selfishness beneath the dignity
of an Americna representative.
Recos nizes Distress.
I'VE recognize that there is dis
tress throughout the South brought
about by the destructive competition
with foreign countries and we want
to write a tariff measure that will
throw a lffe line to those who toll
upon the farms and in the mines
and factories Of the nation.
while we are going to write a
protective tariff measure and the re-
publican party wants to deal fairly
and intelligently with the South, we
have no desire to levy a duty upon
southern product which the
southern people want on the free
list We recognize d congressman n
as the authorized spokesman of his
district and the custodian of the
welfare of his people and We shall
be glad to hear them define the at
titude Of their constituents with re-
gard to a tariff on southern prod
ucts."

PASSES MARINE
INSURANCE BILL

The Senate yesterday adopted the
Jones bill providing a model law
In the District OF Columbia for the
Incorporation Of marine insurance
companies.
While there is but little marine
insurance business in the District OF
Columbia the value Of lthe bill lies
in the fact that IT is 4pected that
the various States will adopt its pro-
visions in lieu OF the statutes that
are now in existence.
The law grants favorable terms Of
incorporation to these companies in
order that they may compete with
the foreign companies that have here
tofore held the bulk OF the maine
insurance business OF the United
States.
